"THE DECLINE" (NOFX DRUM COVER)

[@Mr_Ashley]

You need to be at the last Sum 41 show too! Singing out pain for pleasure!!!!!

[@EntreMetido]

F*ck yeah! 😊

Yep

[@rickys5526]

what the fuck am I watching?? THE Sum's drummer (sorry Frank...) playning the decline. this is one of the best moments of my life.

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks for watching!

[@jorgepalacios4360]

"The Decline" could be the finest work of the genre Super good job!

[@MatiCordaro]

side snare tone is on point !!!! absolutely loved this

[@StephSinalco]

We don't appreciate enough the master that is Erik Sandin. The true Ringo Starr of punk rock.

[@frysiandude]

My man, you are still a machine. Full power all through. On a single bass paddle. Its crazy.

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks! That single pedal technique is 100% something I learned by playing NOFX songs (and there are a lot of Sum songs that use it)

[@anthonyjones728]

Such a tune. Such a band. Awesome cover. You haven’t lost your chops.

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks man! 🤘

[@ModernPachinko]

There’s even El Stevo32 trumpet parts! You rock dude.

[@stevo32drums]

haha El Trompeta! Thanks man!

[@tyerker]

Man, what a freaking marathon gauntlet of a song. To keep up with that when you're not in "touring shape", but just playing in your basement, is beyond impressive dude. Sum 41 was my first favorite punk band, and I still love to air drum along with you to this day.

[@seanmacp]

He’s playing in his basement is like Bruce Lee training in his basement efficking epic

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks dude! It is certainly a workout 😂

[@ALIENRIOT.]

Hello! I am 14 boy and i just wanted to say that sum41 was my big inspiration to start my own band. And we are now recording an album with pop punk inspiration. I want to say big Thank you you for being such an awesome person for Those years❤

[@SkinnyEatWorld95]

Enjoy the ride my young friend! I miss my band days!

[@stevo32drums]

That's awesome! Good for you! Have fun with it! Thanks for watching!!

[@ItLingers]

Good luck dude 👍 wishing you success 🙌

[@angermanagementstudios]

Good lad. Keep on rocking!

[@johnnymorrisonthethird]

Stevo 32’s still got it. Love to see it. Hard to listen to Sum 41 without him. He’s the party animal I wanted to be in my youth.

[@redsfan11larkin]

Man…..you are still one of the best drummers walking the earth!

[@welfare506]

I was fortunate enough to see their last 2 shows in Canada in Moncton, NB. They closed night 2 with "The Decline". Both nights were unforgettable.

[@robertrussell4035]

I am surprise NOFX stopped in moncton but Sum 41 skipped use all together and the only show they had close they had to pull out

[@brandonwiseman2906]

I almost went to that but my ticket money went to Sum 41s canceled and unrefundable show

[@seanmacp]

I’m in monkey town as well 😊

Awesome!

[@stevo32drums]

[@shisa2834]

My triceps hurt just watching this. 😂 Thanks for sharing!

[@ibanezted]

Probably the best punk song ever written. Many people don’t realize how great of a song writer fat Mike is. And listen to his bass lines in this song. Absolutely amazing while singing too!! Great cover!! The decline is still one of my absolutely favorite songs ever written.

[@BradfordMcCoy]

The trumpet dude, yes!!! As an old washed up horn player I absolutely loved that.

[@stevo32drums]

Ha! Thanks! I started toying with it on and off for a while now.. It's hard! But fun! And I wanted to learn an instrument with notes, scales, etc .. I love Miles, Lee Morgan, Chet Baker.. so I got one. Work in progress! Thanks for watching

[@dreww1131]

Trombone...

[@jakemensing6672]

The trumpet was a nice surprise!

[@stevo32drums]

Haha! Thanks!

[@darthmal1]

I hope Smelly sees this. When they played this at the last Chicago night at Riot Fest, my eyes were locked him nearly the whole song just in amazement.

[@stevo32drums]

I'm looking forward to seeing him live !

[@wide_awake]

When they played it at the final show in Orlando I nearly cried

[@mikeybraz915]

Great job 😃

[@nickzs2205]

7:46 always the best part of the entire song that small detail on the ride makes everything better

[@stevo32drums]

Yeah I love the triplet bell pattern 🤘

[@bigmuffexpress]

All Killer No Filler started a 22 year drumming career for me. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the tunes!

[@VolatileDave]

What a beast of a song. And a beast of a drummer to match.

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks man!

[@popunkid]

The Decline came out my Senior Year of HS. So Long...was probably my all-time favorite album at that point, and then The Decline came out (with that translucent disc where there wasn't music). I bought my first guitar that day from a metal head I was friends with. That CD/song is the main reason I spent 10 years touring and playing shows. NOFX means so much to me, and to so many people I grew up that I still talk to and play music with. They are GOD-TIER. Thank you for this, Steve.

[@deadrituals]

Awesome!

[@NEXUS2040]

I swear I saw Stevo on the stage behind NOFX in that video where Fletcher Dragge threw Fat Mike through Smelly's kit.

Amazing video Steve. I love seeing the joy in what you’re doing. It is pouring out of you.. keep crushing it.

[@stevo32drums]

Thanks man! It was fun to play! Kind of a cathartic experience 🤘

[@jdedits7546]

The first time i saw sum41 was at reading festival in 2003, I was 13. A drunk guy screamed in my face, "That drummers fast a fuck!". I went home bought your albums and spent all my time learning how to play your songs. Thanks dude.

[@stevo32drums]

in vino veritas 😂 I remember that show! Someone threw a bottle from waaaaay back and I saw it coming directly for me... almost like it was in slow motion .. couldn't do anything ... it hit me in the stomach and I just kept going haha... It was actually an amazing show. Huge, wild crowd. Im happy to hear you got into the music! Thanks awesome! Thanks for watching

[@jonathanlefevre8250]

Hey I was there too. Also sadly only the saturday. It was a great show, in which I made peace with NoFX (last time I saw them it was during a bit where Fat Mike was not in a good place or something, that show was absolutely aweful).

When you play with someone like the Vandals, do you learn the songs off the records or do you get drum tracks. and how do you go about learning them? how long before the tour do you get to spend time with playing?

[@Squall6575]

@@stevo32drums yeah I definitely hear that in your drumming, and I think Deryck’s cery early vocal work was super inspired by nofx (as opposed to a lot of pop-punk bands around 1999 copying the blink 182 style SoCal dialect)
