Fat Mike from NOFX about drugs, sex and their book.

I interviewed Fat Mike from NOFX for ARTEconcert at the Hurricane Festival 2015. We waited for him till midnight but it was so worth it. Maybe some day I will upload the whole interview :)))

[@eliquate]

This is how I used to talk at 4 am after a LONG night of cocaine.

[@shawntill]

You can here the blow in his voice.

[@ethanrozling2732]

Coolest thing about NoFx is that they've had the same line up since 1988...

[@SchnotzzN]

Didn't Hefe join in 93 or something?

[@nineoneoh]

and the worst thing is that they still suck dick

[@jayjanes11]

Sounds like someone needs to come out of the closet already

[@technicasualty19]

1991. Dave died in like 88 or something, then they had someone else for lead, then El Hefe came on board in 1991.

[@jeremyreiff6562]

Technicasualty Dave is still alive. Steve was their 2nd guitarist from 88-91 and he left to join another band. El Hefe joined in 91

[@mattholdzkom5929]

He's so interesting to listen to. And I really appreciate how this is edited.

[@SheppardOfFire]

One great thing about NOFX; they never fail to make me laugh

[@Uiui97t]

Live. Interviews. And some songs.

[@ryanmason74]

I hope you get to see them on this tour, they're funnier than most comedians, and they actually give a shit about the songs. They were like, listening to the album good, but still all over the stage. Melvin really nailed all the solos, Jefe busted out a trombone and trumpet, it was magical

[@bpmotion]

I'm a NOFX fan since 1996 and still go to their concerts.

[@mylenesau]

🙋‍♀️

[@Ilike25]

Me too

[@zeroireland]

He speaks like his sentences are full of commas.

Cartch probably high

[@letsogichmaric5107]

[@Capodecamper]

Wilmington 32 why are you here?

[@XxDrag0nLoXxFrye]

He was on cochiane

[@user-xu5tb6em9p]

I saw this video high as fuck just yesterday. Ordered the book immediately, and then forgot about it. :D It arrived just now, and i'm already laughing my ass off. Highly recommended for all NOFX fans Can't wait to see them live again. Greets from fuckin' Belgium!

[@KellyVision]

Hahaha, nice one!

[@lorraineanderson263]

Not the song "one armed scissor"

[@jrmarrero96]

Sonic Youth would disagree with that statement ; )

True, true, true...

[@maxiepattie85]

I stopped this video to go brush my teeth just now... and that's the beauty of punk rock... wait , SLAYER!!!!!!!!!

[@exit747steve1]

Fat Mike got on stage in El Paso, Tx in the early 90's and said he was in a shitty mood cuz he was outta pills. so I gave him a handful of valium after the show. good times

[@exit747steve1]

... the show was great btw

[@Peasant_in_a_tree]

Fuckin rad story. Love it

[@mdog86]

Holy shit, that ant farm analogy, I've never thought of it like that. It does make a lot of sense though.

[@dsharp7441]

you aint lyin!!

[@mattagany8303]

actually one of the best interviews I seen with him,he covered a lot,been my favorite band for 20fucking years, and their book is amazing I can't put it down,I actually get anxious on the way home from work to read it

[@SSHevyChevy]

It's truly special that this is your own encounter with him. Very cool that he was thoughtful enough to give you this much time of day. I'm just one of those kids that's like "...yeah, man! I was just born when they were brewing Punk in Drublic!" They've been around forever! I really didn't get an idea of who they were until I was in High School...and now they're a HUGE favorite of mine.

[@ShartimusPrime]

That "whatever" at the end looked like the interviewer disagreed with his statement. Lol

[@dannycarrick3739]

Nah, he just realised he's "rambling on" to some moron who doesn't really give a fuck. Ya know, the very people people he says are boring 😴 🙄 😆

[@pbnbsk]

he realized the amount of fucked up shit he was saying, and tried to back off 🤣🤣

[@pbnbsk]

last 30 secs of the interview are GOLD

[@deedazzle1826]

Loving them since the age of 12... 28 years now. Still my favorite band!

[@graemewatson8911]

I think this is one of the most interesting/illuminating interviews I've ever seen with Fat Mike - would really love to see the whole interview!

[@KellyVision]

Your wish is my command;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKutfYxuhcR6lcU

[@graemewatson8911]

Thank you!

[@KellyVision]

You´re very welcome:)))

[@rob1996ization]

I love him, love his attitude towards life

[@francisco.6151]

One of the best interviews of Fat Mike I've ever bumped into 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@deadbeats4894]

Hepatitis Bathtub is the best book I've read in a while. A modern Please Kill Me, making The Dirt pretty tame in comparison. I have to highly reccomend the audio version, because they each read their own stories, and hearing their emotions paints a beautiful shit show. I grew up with nofx, seeing them countless times and they never get old.

[@Matt-ig4yk]

Where can I find the audiobook versions????

[@deadbeats4894]

@@Matt-ig4yk aRchivE.örg. They like to erase it...

[@neonshark337]

Great interview. Early NOFX memory for me about eighteen years ago: I was a teen still living with my parents, but had a job and saved up some money. I drove to a whole different city, bought So Long And Thanks For The Shoes, and Heavy Petting Zoo, and an N64 with Super Mario 64. I played that game and collected literally every single star and secret in that game, and listened to those two albums back to back, over and over again. Good times. NOFX still rules, and Fat Mike just seems like a legit person to me. Just staying true to himself and fuck whatever anybody else thinks.

[@sierralynn4111]

Sitting at Sonic, waiting for my deliciously shitty breakfast when listening to this through my car's Bluetooth audio. It didn't occur to me that my window was down (I wasn't paying attention when she showed up) and the car hop lady happened to be standing there when he was talking about his mom's porno mag. Ha.

[@ergoth154]

This cracked me up lol

[@rosapizarro144]

I look at Fat Mike as a great artist and I look up to his style of playing. Nofx. Awesome.

[@donflobert1762]

I saw them back then, loved the show. Want to see them again wiiiii

[@user-tm3lv6ho6m]

Fat Mike is great. Talking, joking,singing, performing. I love this man

[@MrSarov]

Fat Mike is such rad dude

[@CrisHaasbro]

I think this is my favorite Fat Mike interview

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

I’ve been a NOFX fan since 1992!!

[@RichardKoning]

Fat Mike = Cartman

[@RainHavok1111]

Richard Koning totally

[@gabrielhubert226]

He's not a complete dipwad though. He's still a jerk but he's a good person.

[@KarenGoldMind]

toma tu like

[@colina1330]

Nah. Mike is Jewish.

[@bastounet36]

that's the spirit, true talking

[@rowstone3019]

Great Stories! I'll have ask my friend if we ever saw them. The place we used to go to was $10 a show with 4 or 5 bands. I saw Murphy's Law, Plasmatics, Dead Kennedy's, Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, Venom, And Ramones , Motorhead!

[@Rosesyoutube]

I love this. Thanks KellyVision

[@KellyVision]

You´re very welcome:)

[@Okayymatt]

[@enzomellino]

yeah! thank you so much!

[@tommoconstantly]

Just getting in to Nofx slowly but seeing this video, I fucking love this guy

[@timanderson9466]

This guy and his band are what playing is all about. Their attitude and how they look at their playing makes for the most enjoyment when playing. Ive been in bands where fucks were uptight and over the top, we need to be perfect. Then I was in bands like NOFX and it was so fucking enjoyable and worth all the effort. Fat Mike gets it and so does his bandmates. The fun those fuckers have is infectious. I'd chop off a nut to play a set with these guys.

[@elkemm1]

I like this guy! He is autentic and he gets his feet on the ground.

[@suicidalpepsi]

I saw Reagan Youth a few years back at a place called the BAR in New Haven and there was 30 drunk people there too.

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

I'd love to have a beer with Fat Mike and listen to all his crazy stories.

I saw NoFX at Red rocks but my favorite show was when I took my kids and you guys were on tour with bad religion the only thing that bought me out about the concert was the fact that my son enjoyed 303 more. But it was because he was proud to chant 303 Colorado

Fat Mike is cool as hell! I met him in 1999 and he was cool to me. But my friend who had bleached hair tried to talk to him a bit after me got called a poser and was asked to let Fat Mike know how it felt to be a boy-band reject.
