I took a pause at 6:30 to write this. I love the fact you have your priorities in order, listing the bus ticket first. A beautiful piece of history attached to something so small
contradiction can be a sign of growth
This felt likes acquaintances/friends talking rather than combative – Mike took the time to get to know Finn and it's nice – everybody is chill, things are positive and moving at a healthy pace towards a "see you around/it's your turn to step up" rather than just "goodbye" – it's a relay race and next prolific version of a punk band is up!
The Fletcher sounds fucking amazing! "What am I supposed to do with all these chips??" Eat 'em with your drink!
I really hope 7 Seconds is involved. They were an important part of the sene in the '80s and they're up the road in Reno.
Dude is vibing with u man great interview 🫡
Ween belongs in the punk rock museum
Glad that you mention Indonesia's punk scene in this podcast. As a person who was born, raised, and grew as an obscure punk musician here in Indonesia, I just found out from this video that both you and Mike have interest and opinion about the punk scene here. Will you make a video about it Finn? I really want to know your opinion about the punk scene in Indonesia
This Convo brought me to tears. Fat Mike is an absolute inspiration.
Shame I’ve only just come across this, would love to hear Mike talk about how he tried to bully one of our local show organisers into giving him more cash after his shitty amp gave out and he got in a strop. Was a joy watching those pricks still trying to get in their van as it pulled away being chased by all the Southampton punks.
When buying your ticket for the museum do you know ahead of time who will be giving the tour? Or is it just a surprise that you might get Fat Mike brining you around or Fletcher or whoever?
Nofx definitely brings joy to people for more then one night! Mind you it's from the past but turning on different NOFX albums bring me back to specific years in my life, It's like a time machine that brings me right back into the nostalgic feels
Paramore deserves to be in your punk rock museum? How can he say that with a straight face. It's utterly laughable and ridiculous.
Was hoping to see Static-X on the list. Especially with Wayne's passing. Good list otherwise!
I really wanna go see the museum. 👍
Blink, sum 41, avril , hey what about Nickleback????? They are kinda punk.??!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a fucking joke😅
Who is the old fart with the blue wig??
Fat Mike, youre awesome. I hope to see your museum one day.
Id buy a ticket to hear fat Mike tell stories
Nofx was my first concert at 13, and i sure as shit cant wait to see them at their last. Flying to Orlando for that shit!
You are a legend Mike, love you so much.
Christ alive my heart!
Good Charlotte is in the museum because it was a condition for their donation. Essentially, they bought their way in.
Finn, do you know who the people are he's talking about at the beginning of the interview — Alice Bag, Poly Styrene? I do…just wondering, given your the Punk Rock MBA?
fat mike sounds awesome, i love how much he truly cares about punk rock, and he also seems to have a lot of humility as well. i cant wait to go to the punk rock museum, that will be my top destination when i go to vegas. thats so fucking cool that we can play the instruments….
The punk rock museum is great and fat mike is a glorious asshole. Get over there if you can. Shout out to the bartender Matt, hes awesome.
50:10 — Propagandhi's "How To Clean Everything" is, and always will be one of the great punk albums of the time. Even though Chris kinda disowned it as the band went to a more progressive sound. It changed my life, and it felt good to know it came from fellow Canucks!
Fuck Hailey Williams. I agree that it was insensitive, but it was a joke. Equal means equally a target of jokes sexual or otherwise. Too bad sexist pricks exist and I can understand why she was seeing it through that lens. But like Mike said, it was for publicity.
Please tell me there is some Wipers memorabilia in the Punk Museum
I'd love to see Jake burns from SLF or captain sensible from the Damned doing a tour of the museum, suppose I have a reason to visit the USA now 😊
This is why punk rock is more real and Europe. I'm proud to be born in England where punk rock is. It's more real than America as fat Mike says hes right. In America punk is not real because America is a capitalistic country. It's strictly about money and greed so everything's based on money so if. You're having fun and enjoying life and you don't have no money? You are shunned on people look it down on you because you're not working hard to make money. I don't have much money that I don't care I live alternatively. I'm punk and I love my life. Don't care about money don't crockers doubt about making money? It's about living life on your terms…
Our flu pawn Crocker is not the anti establishment anymore. It's gone mainstream. It's gone phony it's mainstream and fake now it's not like it used to be. I've been punk for 29 years. I still listen to real punk but punk crocks a day and most of ninety percent of our fake today fashion pucks..
Punk rock is not about making money it's a way of money stop trying to profit on punk.
Of the I don't support punk rock people. I don't give them free money. You want money and the money you're working working class earned a m*** ***** money I ain't given you s***
Fantastic interview of one of the most revered figures in Punk. He's legendary. Love this man! Hope I get to meet him one day!
NOFX has always been a staple band in my life growing up, listening to them since late 80's as well as of course seeing them LIVE. They were the core to my music existence in the 80's, 90's punk scene and beyond. Because of this band, I learned to play guitar many, many years ago in my early teens and ultimately learned how to play punk because of them. Sure, you had/have amazing bands of the same era, Ramones, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Descendents, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, The Vandals, No Use for a Name…etc..just to name a small few of the many greats, some who have broken up and some who are still around, but there's just something about NOFX…They will always and forever be my favorite punk band of all time.
Thanks Fat Mike, El Hefe, Melvin and Smelly for the decades of immeasurable artistry in punk rawk music. Your tunes have been with me pretty much my whole life, traveling through ups and downs and all-arounds, and I can't thank you all enough for shaping me into who I am today. Peace.
I one time saw Melvin pay a 15 year old girl $20 for oral sex backstage. It was in Sioux Falls SD during Punk in Drublic tour. Also their manager robbed the promoter for all the cash they had collected for the show by showing the gun he was carrying and asking for it all. Needless to say Nofx never returned to Sioux Falls after that event.
47:41 I paused and then went on a Codefendants binge for 2 hours. This is when Finn finally passed my punk check and wasn't aware of the rest of the release, along with the visual. It is the most punk thing I have ever seen.
Damn I wanna go.
Is Blink 182 in their? Should be if Good Charlotte is.
So ironic digging your heels in when you're wrong. 🤨
Jumping on a bandwagon that's intelligence. 😂
Most people would shit themselves if GG Allin was still alive 😂😂 as sensitive and lack of spine like most people have nowadays
Fat mike became and now supports everything he hated. So sad.
Its a shame that haley Williams is literally a fake and no one wants to call her out for that shit
is the MENTORS in this place? there the most important punk band ever.
I’m from Pittsburgh, but I met a British punk in Vegas who came to talk to me because of my misfits shirt and smoked a spliff with me. He was a cool, weird dude
I have early 80's stuff. I need to look up how to donate it / deliver it
Thank you for this. <333
