FAT MIKE: Punk Rock Museum, NOFX breaking up, Hayley Williams & more

[@trainspotter360]

This is the best interview with Mike that I've seen ever. He is super forthcoming and enjoying the conversation.

[@Joshmarmolejo_]

Another good fat mike interview is when he was on Toby Morse podcast one life one chance

[@misterspikex]

Sobriety seems to agree with Mike.

[@stennostenno1346]

Finn proved his cred when he was on Mikes Podcast

[@JoeRaygun]

Agreed, and Finn was super respectful.

[@DavidRFIT]

Fat Mike gave tons of great interviews... come on...

[@that_diggity_d880]

I love seeing Mike's face light up talking about punk rock. He's truly flying that flag high and keeping punk alive and well

[@sandollor]

Punk's Not Dead!

[@symbolicstudies]

Fat Mike has really grown on me over the years. Whenever you two are together it's great. Keep 'em coming.

[@mattymcfattydoe6375]

For real! They could host a podcast together and I would watch every episode

[@pulleyfm8585]

I've never really been into NOFX and Fat Mike was a big reason why. Always respected them and him because they were super punk rock and unapologetic about it though, just didn't mesh with me very well. The more I see of him now (or read about, the NOFX book is awesome) the more I like him now and he's an amazing example of somebody who's taken a very long time in life to get to his destination. He's gone from being a gatekeeper prick to treating everybody with a ton of respect and the much more difficult thing of trying to understand them and their perspective even when he didn't agree with it or outright dislikes it. That's not easy and he's doing an amazing job promoting this project and punk music in general now and few people could pull that off with any kind of credibility. Creating a first class inclusive Museum that's polished and puts a nice chunk money into the pockets of old musicians sounds like the least punk rock thing in the world. Somebody like him doing it properly is just giving the music and people the respect it deserves and the money is going to be people telling awesome stories who in some cases didn't make much because of their values and the genres values more than anything is awesome and cool as hell. The way he handled the Hayley Williams question shows how much a good place he's in right now. He could've easily been really negative about it but he decided to call it for what it is and that's a publicity stunt by someone who's already on shaky ground for that. He was even positive about some of the things she's said and supports. Same with the story of helping the kid play a song and how much joy that brought him. I'm really happy for him that he's enjoying himself and bringing a lot positivity to a really negative world now.

[@YettiManChannel]

​@@pulleyfm8585What do you mean by Fat Mike was a gatekeeper? I'm genuinely curious?

[@pulleyfm8585]

@@YettiManChannel He was really outspoken in the 90s during interviews and even his lyrics about things he considered not punk. You had to be really careful picking the shows you went to back then. If you went to a NOFX show and weren't rocking a mohawk or your clothes were just jeans and a shirt you'd probably get your ass kicked. You had to be fully 100% "punk" or you weren't welcome with some bands. NOFX was one of the worst offenders for this. Stuff like Rancid, Green Day, Bad Religion (I know it's all epitaph but it wasn't label related) were way more inclusive and you'd never have an issue. Would you get into a band that really didn't want you as a fan? They kept a lot of people out of the scene when it was trendy. Not throwing shade or anything, just telling it how it was back in the day.

[@donnix1192]

Been a NOFX fan since high school in 1996, great band, very underrated players as well. Mike is one of the reasons I picked up the bass guitar. Finn, this was the best interview I have ever seen with Mike, he was honest and open and really just showcasing his true self.

[@trainspotter360]

He really is an awesome bass player an songwriter.

[@Ihateyoutodeath666]

Nofx changed my life.

[@Ihateyoutodeath666]

@Al Dabat alot of people. They were canceled where I live over stupid shit.

[@Ihateyoutodeath666]

@Al Dabat over a mild joke. Don't argue with me...lmao

[@donnix1192]

@Al Dabat Well, take Mike for example. If you play bass guitar you traffic in the bass community. I have done so for years and in these different avenues(online, print, video etc.) there are dozens upon dozens of “iconic” players that are constantly at the forefront of this world. Mike is never mentioned. I’m not talking about lists made by idiots who write for Rolling Stone or Vox who have never picked up an instrument and couldn’t tell you what standard turning is on a bass guitar. These are prominent folks who ignore Mike’s work when he is a very influential and technical pick player on bass, get it????

[@hardfer83]

Geez this one was heavy. Never saw Mike so open and vulnerable talking about things he's done in the past, for good or worst. He's trully seems to learn his lessons along the way and never avoid to change for the better, no matter how hard or painful it is. I've always apreciate the musician, now I trully apreciate the man. Nice one Finn! You're doing and amazing job for us punk rockers from around the world. Pardon my bad english. Thanx again! Cheers

[@danthegeetarman]

Man, the punk rock museum is now a bucket list item and I’m gonna do as many different tours with as many different hosts as I can too. This is what I dreamed I could do as a young pre-teen punk rocker 🖤🖤🖤

[@frogstomp646]

I went to the Punk Rock Museum 2 weeks ago with Jennifer Finch as the tour guide! Jennifer was so passionate about the history and kept us engaged throughout the whole thing and sharing her experience coming through in the 90s! I loved it. I even got a picture with her!

[@beckstar78]

omg she's a freakin tour guide there? amazing...seen L7 live but would love to meet her

[@septemberkidzzz]

I am SO happy Mike said the Fat Wreck sound came from Propagandhi. I'm a casual Propagandhi fan, and a die hard NOFX fan, I am firmly on the NOFX side of the whole "Rock For Sustainable Capitalism" and "One Celled Creature" debacle, but credit absolutely needs to be where credit is due. Yes, Punk In Drublic is a better album, but it would have never happened without How To Clean Everything, and the fact that Mike himself acknowledges this, which a lot of people don't, is just a testament to what a humble and awesome person he is, despite his persona. I think the honesty of Fat Mike, basically giving Propagandhi credit for NOFX's biggest album, is the very definition of Punk Rock! It's just unbelievably cool!

[@TelesPlayMetal]

The Finn/Mike budding bromance is awesome

[@day-daydespres1124]

I went the first week the museum opened and as a punk nerd it was so worth it. Fat Mike being a G.O.A.T. bringing us together I hope they can keep growing and expanding their collection.

Visited today and it was an amazing experience. Ran into Fletcher and got a bass lesson from Mike! It was so cool that band members were just chilling around sharing stories with visitors.

[@charlesstacy4829]

Great interview! Can't wait to visit the museum. Me and my friends took our kids to see Bouncing Souls, Anti-flag, Wilhelm Scream, the Venemous pinks. My son was amazed at the community aspect, seeing the guys he just watched play on stage hanging in the crowd, the positive messages of solidarity...it was great to share that experience with the next generation.

[@thisguy7011]

I saw NOFX in Richmond back in '06. Talked to a guy in the crowd for a while before they went on. Super cool dude. We talked about our favorite bands, told stories, it was fun and very pleasant. Then NOFX took the stage and I realized I had been talking to El Hefe.

[@UnhumanNewman]

Went to the Punk Rock Museum a few weeks ago. It is absolutely amazing and IMO there’s nothing like it. Plus, The Fletcher is a kick ass drink!

I want one of those. Rum and coke in a Pringles can, right?

[@UnhumanNewman]

@@MikeVoss Fuck. Yes!

[@Nickradphoto]

I had the distinct honor of photographing the Austin performance of Codefendants and NOFX. I might've cried a little. Sometime between 2000 and 2003, I was on a bus headed to an away game in high school. I was in drumline and we all shared music on the bus - rummaging through each others' CD binders. A buddy of mine handed me a scratched up burned cd-r with NOFX scribbled all over it. My life changed on that bus trip. From Linoleum to Bob to Stickin' in My Eye and finally The Decline. I was hooked. It's crazy to realize that for 20+ years this band has been at so many pivotal moments of my life. It felt good to finally see them if only for the last and first time. It felt even better than I was able to be a part of history and document it. So long and thanks for all the shoes Fat Mike & co.

[@twobarsfourstars]

Incredible concept to have the instruments playable in the museum, so cool to hear how that + tour guides being there is creating experiences. That does sound genuinely memorable, and super punk rock 🤘🏼

[@pekerhed101]

He had me at Wesley Willis's keyboard...and letting visitors play on it. That's worth the price of admission alone. I was blessed in the past to have been able to experience a head-butt from Wesley. RIP.

[@Rubberlegs8375]

What a legend. I'm looking at flight tickets from Europe to Las Vegas right now.

[@SconnerStudios]

It's really cool that the punk museum is incorporating all parts of punk. I hope that GG Allin gets a spot in the punk hall too. Maybe the restroom? He'd probably find that hilarious if he weren't busy beating up and throwing his feces at Satan. I also think in hindsight it was stupid for Fat Mike to make those comments, but he was trying to be edgy and part of his entertainer persona. After all, this is the guy who sometimes wears a dress on stage with his otherwise manly image. I'm sure worse things have been said about her by more consequential people than a fellow frontman. Also also, Hayley telling someone what is or isn't "punk" is kind of ironic, since a lot of punk fans don't consider her music punk at all. If I were Hayley, I'd just let it go. If Taylor Swift can forgive Kanye, Hayley should forgive Fat Mike and move on.

[@leucifer2]

Want on a tour led by Mike. He was hilarious and informative. Best tour guide ever

Watching this interview, you see the joy in Finn and Fast Mike just talking about the museum

[@Americae_Primum]

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.

[@kbobMTG1983]

First concert I went to I had just turned 15 in 1998 was The Queers , One Man Army, and a band called the beauties granted I had already been listening to punk rock for about three years at this point but this live show impacted me so greatly that from that point on I was a punker now I turn 40 this year and I’m still listening to and loving and getting the same feeling from these bands that I listened to all those years ago I love this genre and I will die a punk rocker!!!

@Jose Vasquez No. To quote the DK’s “Nazi Punks Fuck Off!”

[@XLTBlarg]

​@Jose Vasquez It looks like someone jabbed your head with a screwdriver. It's not punk to be racist, or a nazi, or a homophobic bigot, or hate and advocate for the dehumanizing and mistreatment of any other group of people for the way they were born. Hating someone for being an asshole =/= hating someone for being black. Their is a clear difference here.

[@mraycgz]

@Jose Vasquez no it’s not. Punk rock is above everything else about inclusion. That band excluded and spread the message of supremacy over groups of people for their very existence. That’s the opposite of punk.

[@Driver8takeabreak]

[@klaushoschi2143]

When you talked about people being able to play the guitars of some ´Punk icons´, I instantly remembered how I once turned the "wheel" by Duchamp (with the thrill of not knowing if this was actually ´allowed´). Nice you mentioned Duchamp here, too. I think you can even spot the Punk spirit even way earlier than Dada. (Like Diogenes in ancient Greece.) I was really sceptical about the idea of a Punk museum, but it seems to be really great.

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!

I feel like a short exhibition featuring The Jam would be warranted, they were a pivotal act that both embodied and rebelled against punk in the UK during those formative years (late 70s-early 80s). I have seen a purely UK based showcase of their instruments but im sure they would lend certain artifacts to this more than worthy cause. They were intensely British though so im not sure how many people would resonate with them. Great interview as always, Finn is the master of asking the right question at the right time xx

Happy you mentioned Indonesia. I started listening to Punk in Indonesia in the lates 90s. I had a punk band too. We used to buy pirated tapes of NOFX and Rancid, and go to a place called Block M, and underground market and buy spike bracelets and rancid shirts.

Seeing Fat Mike, outside his NOFX persona is so heartwarming. Seeing him as a real person giving a shit about things is... so cool.
