Scream for Change is my favourite from that album

Love this! They had that instantly recognizable sound even back then! And they played my favorite NOFX song in this set, “the Malachi crunch”. Hell yea thanks for the upload

[@johnmorrison5502]

This is still like peak NOFX. S&M Airlines and Ribbed era when they still wanted to be RKL. They still put out good to great stuff up until now but these are my favorite.

NoFx consistently puts out good stuff to this day - but this was them at their prime imo. Fast and raw AF. Great footage man. Wish I was there. Right before punk started to get so safe and the scene became a joke.

[@andrewhall7930]

Mike consistently says that Bad Religion is, and always has been, his all time favorite band. You can hear a little bit of it in this show.

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

one of my favorites too

[@mls01981]

It's rad that Bad Religion members were contributors to S&M Airlines album. I used to hear the title track and think the harmony sounded like a Bad Religion song, only to find out it was Greg Graffin the whole time!

One thing is for sure, the addition of el hefe really put them on another level .

I would say that Steve changed the course for the band.

This was awesome. Steve kicks ass. I always thought El Hefe was on ribbed. My favourite album. Kick ass that they played that whole album live. I was hoping they would play the entire punk in drublic album for the punk in drublic show in Edmonton, free beer at a punk rock show so good.

[@krapnek1]

Hefe actually joined them since the Longest Line EP. I love Steve btw, probably the first full gig i saw with him on guitar. Awesome.

[@AleisterMeowley]

I got a lot of respect for NOFX but I really wish I could have seen them back in these days. I’ve been to a handful of shows, two warped tours and one actual and they’re great and all but it’d be cool to see them actually play and not just bullshit constantly. I think catching them right before Punk in Drublic would have been them at their best

World Rockumentary Channel™ loved Kidwiller , he was more of a metal guy but was a great guitar player and could adapt to whatever. I think he played a few reunion shows in 2009/2010. Hefe is a better all around musician obviously. I don’t know about you but the drums on Ribbed are especially great, all of eriks playing is great but Ribbed really was impressive in terms of technicality and dynamics.
