This one was in yearbook:

Late to the Distillers train, but have been one of my new faves.
Used to be married to Tim Armstrong of Rancid.Quote:

If you listen to this playlist through it will take about a 25 minutes. And you'll feel better for it. If you've never gotten a voicemail like at the end of this song yr blowing it.
God Damn I love that band. I saw The Offspring on a Friday night and thought "not bad for a bunch of old dudes". Then I saw The Descendents the very next night. Jesus, they absolutely rocked. On the drive home I realized they are the same age or probably a little older than Dex and Noodles, but their set was incredible. Top 5 shows I've ever seen.Quote:

It's shameful that no one would let Rotten say anything. People should show more respect to their elders.Quote:

I'll be there for the SLC show on Saturday. We don't get Bad Religion though. I'll be there for GG of Black Flag.Quote:

Here is some modern punk that I've been into recently. Song doesn't actually start til 1:30.

Right? Both great bands (and both bands would agree with that statement) but they're totally different in both substance and style.Quote:

It’s not a coincidence that before founding Fat Records NOFX was on Epitaph (owned by Bad Religion frontman Brett Gurewitz) and their records were produced by Brett Gurewitz.
Mike is also a huge fan!
Seriously two of my favorite bands evar, but I recognize the difference between them. Imagine Greg Graffin singing "My Vagina".Quote:

NOFX took the skatepunk framework that BR helped invent and perfected it.

And yes, NOFX has always been political. It's just they used to be political with humor and now they're political with boring.
I have the blue vinyl version of Surfer.
I was thinking about this while mowing earlier.
1st - Fat Mike was from LA not SF. East Beverly Hills to be precise.
2nd- I’m not sure I can think of a band as similar to NFOXs sound wise than Bad Religion. Bracket maybe Lag Wagon? Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies does not count!
3rd... shit I had at least a few more. Forgot. Damn old age!
Ohh and check out thier book. The audiobook was on youtube I assume it stil is. It’s nutty.
A bit of reflection on venues that suck, for whatever reason. If I've already seen the band, in the current line up I may opt to pass on a show if the venue has pissed me off in the past. However, If I haven't seen them live and they're someplace close I'm gonna let a lot more slide and give the shitty venue my money anyway. There are too many times I've made wishy washy excuses to pass on shows only to have the artist die before I got another chance to see them.
Yeah, I mean it's no secret that NOFX and Fat Mike were/are influenced heavily by Bad Religion. Mike has talked about that a lot. Hell, every time both bands are playing in the same place, Mike usually ends up on stage poaching Jay's mic to sing backing vocals.
And I'll also agree that early NOFX was pretty much a Bad Religion ripoff sound.
But I think if you take their whole body of work, I think their sounds and styles have diverged quite a bit. And in no way do I think NOFX has made Bad Religion irrelevant. BR has stayed pretty true to their early sound and songwriting - song structures built around the classic principles of American folk music, 3 part vocal harmonies, and lyrical content focusing on the intellectual, political, and scientific. Of course, they've evolved, but they've taken a lot of care to make their new stuff true to the old stuff. Profane Rights of Man could have easily been on Suffer or No Control.
NOFX has evolved a lot from their BR copycat sound. They don't use vocal harmonies nearly as much, the song structures are often non-traditional (no choruses, etc), they use a lot more complex lead guitar parts (ever since El Hefe joined), they branch into other styles such as ska, lyrical content varies widely from political to profane to irreverent, etc.
I would argue that Pennywise sounds more like Bad Religion than NOFX. Which is not a dig, I really like Pennywise too.
How was it? Got to see one of the most bad-ass guitarists in the punk scene, ever. So I liked it. I left way before Offspring played. Good band, but I don't really care to see them.Quote:
