The Punk Rock Museum Tour with Fat Mike

[@troyevanthompson]

wow, was planning on just listening but your editing and photos are too good. thanks for creating. back to watch soon!

[@leucifer2]

Got the Fat Mike tour myself. What a great guide, and what an awesome collection of punk history. The haters are either jealous or theyre just in Darby Crash's phone book under Poser

[@chipchippie]

Thank you for the tour!

[@skellener]

I wanna come see the museum!! Thanks for building it Fat Mike!!

[@MartyMcFly88]

Fat Mike is awesome. I’m surprised there isn’t a room for NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes stuff since those are his 2 bands.

[@dryker7085]

I'll be out there in March. Can't wait to check it out!

[@TheDmanMA]

loved and appreciated this... i do plan to get to this MECCA asap...always thought about if virtual tours would be a possiblity..as close as it gets as of now.

[@richpeltier9519]

I never got to see Fang play live, but their music was right there with DKs and Husker Du at the top of my list of influences. Glad they were included. Finally a reason to visit Vegas! 🤘🧙‍♂🤘

[@TheTooz72]

What a fantastic place. Hope to visit there.

[@XckBrm]

This was incredible for someone who can't afford to make it out. Thank you for this.

[@jdion79]

rad idea on how to put this together and out to the folks. as soon as i get a chance a bunch of my friends are gonna make it to the PRM

[@buktoothedgoat78]

Awesome video, well done.

[@miketokles9451]

That was amazing tour, next time im in vegas im going.

[@corycourtney8923]

Respect for Mike for including the parts of punk and hardcore that don't directly appeal to him, such as Revelation and Victory Records.

[@sniz1oner]

I love nofx, love u Mike, this place is awesome. We'll done! I only hope it thrives and grows. Pennywise were a big deal to me growing up, I live outside USA all of u reached us. love you fletch and im still trying to sing like jim. Is there any jmt artifacts there? I always felt connected to Jason, I am also called Jason Mt but always felt the connection was more than a name. I would love to visit your museum one day Mike. Legend.

[@RAMENAMIS]

GRACIAS!

[@jasonnavarro55]

Sweet I’m a guide there in a few weeks!!

[@MartyMcFly88]

Nice, I wanna go so bad. Is there any Gimme Gimmes memorabilia? I didn’t see any in this video.

[@davidkrzeszewski4561]

Can't wait to see you guys back home at St Andrews!

[@nikpinet2745]

awesome video. I can't wait to check this place out someday. how did you get a personal tour from Mike?

[@ViniloEnfermos]

Great video! That Ramones poster 2:55 is probably from Spain (Europe). Nacha Pop is a spanish band.

[@MrAlohell]

Exactly!! Fat Mike, you better keep your mouth shut!

[@MrAlohell]

and he says -that's where we find It!! - Hahahahahahahahaha!! Fucking liar!!

[@LeviBulger]

Good catch

[@SkiYaBasterd]

Thanks for this. To you and Mike. Can’t wait to go

[@cronopi]

The Ramones' poster on 2:51 is from the February 7th of 1989 gig in Madrid (Spain), not "South America". Interesting vid, though. Cheers!

[@mikehoben7341]

Wait so did Mike write E Dagger and give the song to record to Lagwagon? Or did Lagwagon write a seperate song called E Dagger at that time? I wanna hear Mike’s version, it’s a great tune!

[@brucehartnell1475]

Great video!!! I had a band called the detonators from LA back in the day. I first met fat Mike when our two bands (and many others) would play at various venues on open mic nights because that was the only places we could rehearse at. I ran into him in Eugene, Oregon outside of the Mac Donald theater around 2012, and I almost was able to see him in Blackpool England at rebellion, when I was on tour with DOA. Say hi for me. Keep up the great work.

[@teamenemy.]

Is there an OI! section?

[@mesacounojorecords359]

The Ramones poster is not from South America , it's from Spain.

[@viracocha03]

Wait, what ? What did i miss?? "we took Anti-Flag out because Justin is a predetor ?" Also, this was cool as fuck. It would be a dream come true to go to Vegas and see this but that will never happen for me, Not allowed in the US, so this is the best ill get. Thanks.

[@frenchabortion]

Fuck so rad

[@Buckseed]

I spoke to Pete Jesperson of Minneapolis' Twin Tone records and producer of the Replacements in their early years - he said Mike or "those guys" contacted him about goods from his former company...but it sounded like maybe he didn't follow through. I told Tommy Stinson about all this and he said he heard of the Punk Rock Museum, he stated well they weren't really punk rock. But hell early on they were for sure and quit a mark on alt-rock music, and Slim Jim Phantom gave tours and he's rockabilly. Gotta hit those guys up again.

[@user-db4du2hs9m]

I’ll make sure to bring my skrewdriver memorabilia there. Funny how he doesn't want "racist" bands there but Fear is there.

[@davidgondar5833]

The poste of Ramones is not of America. This concert with Nacha Pop was played in Spain

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

No Dead Boys material? No Bad Brains stuff...? WTAF????

[@user-xr2lv4ll6j]

Gotta have Dead Boys stuff.

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

@@user-xr2lv4ll6j i mean... what are we even talking about here!?!? If you ask me, The Dead Boys are the first REAL PUNK ROCK BAND. The Ramones were more like greaser Sha Na Na type thing. Stiv and Cheetah laid the blueprint for all that followed. And the fact that Cheetah LIVES IN LAS VEGAS NOW makes this even more of a travesty. I should ask him to donate the Cheetah Print Heavily modded SG that I routed for mini hums in the neck and bridge and big fat P90 in the bridge with fancy stacked knob pot for the minis. He just uses it for stage dressing and I'm sure I can talk him into donating it...

[@Robert-jo2os]

THANK YOU!

[@sugarjoe50]

Seems like mainly west coast bands displayed here?

[@OldManDoom]

The guy who wrote the lyric “When did punk rock become so safe!?” talking about people being triggered. No GG in there, and while he was never my thing, to deny his place within the legacy of Punk is undeniable. So when DID punk rock become so safe?

[@toddpacker4683]

does that trigger you

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

I wonder what Mike thinks of early Dinosaur Jr. ?

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

3:00 that Ramones poster is NOT from South America, is from Europe, Spain (Hispavox) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispavox (I know because I collect Hispavox 80s Spain bands and one band is Nacha Pop).

[@ryansharp4691]

So badass... My favorite is Mike's grandma's basement from '87. I can't even imagine how ridiculous their first rehearsals were

[@almartinez13]

niggah lemme tell yu. glamorous hahaha

[@RAWStreetsofBERLIN]

Hey, that's my logo!

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

It's funny...i think towards the beginning of the video mike said there are no rules in the punk rock museum but at the end he said there were rules.

[@closedforbusiness4249]

Is it predominately an American punk rock museum

[@gmac2558]

Where's the portrait of Henry Rollins?

[@fumanpoo4725]

New York's alright...

[@martinevensen406]

Nofx made great records

[@ManMade.PawPrint]

I still have Muh beastiality boards in mint condition, only 60 of each made - Yo!

[@freakbythecat]

So does GG have a spot?

[@user-db4du2hs9m]

doubt it in this gay leftist shit hole

[@Jabberstax]

Probably not 😂

[@toddpacker4683]

hopefully not because hes a pedo

[@joeyd3324]

What About the Dickies and Plasmatics..?

[@radioseppe]

Is there any hc from finland in the museum? It was quite influental at the time. Like Rattus and stuff. Here’s some kzbin.info/aero/PLtVaF8AXhA-DJ2lFz-07r3AYhbVza9rKj&si=AT8I8ODeqTfyErjx

[@raelgraham8530]

Fat Mike you sound like punk Spongebob.

[@anominous3895]

Blink?

[@marswillrule2431]

Nothing more punk rock than a PC punk rock museum. DEi is so punk rock. Harley wasn't drumming for the stimulators when he met Joe? You kinda left that part out. The Alice you first see should be Cooper. He did more for punk rock than the latino woman. Lemmy is metal? 😂 Is Doc Dart in the museum? Doubt it.

[@Ottophil]

The angrier you are, the more mike is smiling

[@mikehoben7341]

@@OttophilHe can make points without being angry. I kinda agree with what he’s saying . I mean , punk is toothless, safe and echoes the establishment views handed down these days. There is nothing anywhere that challenges the establishment in punk rock so of course this museum reflects where we are now

[@toddpacker4683]

​@@mikehoben7341 thats not true, its a talking point. Are you one of those idiots who thinks not being an anti vaxxer means youre pro establishment? Thats a toothless critique. And punk was always pro diversity and anti conservative/traditional values. From dead kennedys, MDC, Reagan youth, TSOL, bad religion, propagandhi, crass, the clash, good riddance, etc.

[@toddpacker4683]

punk has always been pro diversity, no matter how much it triggers people like you. And it triggers A LOT of you, thats why its fun

[@Jabberstax]

Hearing punks worry about "triggering" people is hilarious 😂

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

No one ever mentions the berlin brats on cheech n chong

[@MartyMcFly88]

Glad they took Anti-Flag out. Justin sucks!! It’s a shame there isn’t a room dedicated to NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

[@shannonhewitt3680]

Billie Joe's guitar is a copy of blue he used nimrod days

[@danielj8292]

Guess it could be ok if they learn from rock hall of fame and the oprey mistakes

[@mrcumberbottom6561]

they should have had early photos of Blink with the bands first lineup.

[@allergic2life]

So many good early pics with scott on drums

[@XpappaedgeX]

Sucks that Pat, Chris, and Head aren't displayed. They're contributions to punk should outweigh Justin's bullshit. Understood, it just sucks that his behavior ruins lives across the board.

[@MartyMcFly88]

Same with Stza from Leftover Crack, he’s a piece of shit too, but Leftover Crack still deserves some recognition

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Really cool to have Laura Jane Grace up there with Darby Craah and Poly Styrene. She may not be old school but such an important part of punk history. And that OG Reagan Youth LP. Never knew it was in mono! Officially have a reason to go to Vegas now.

[@CrystalCat24]

And punk rock bowling

[@crimsonhermit]

who knew mike would be the guy to drive the final nail into the coffin ⚰️ rip

You gave to pay to get in PUNK as fook

[@roydagger]

It's a pity the music can't live up to the iconography.

[@SlearBlaneheart]

#1 Las Vegas is truly one of the worst places in America. I will never go there. #2 "Fat Mike " , who has made a career of being a grown ass man who sings like a teenager, and foisted some of the worst purportedly "punk" music on the world, has now single handedly absolutely killed the genre for real, and for good. We didn't need a museum. Now it's just a mausoleum. Thanks, Mike! count your punk money!

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I hate nofx and Vegas but fat wreck chords has put out some good records, and a museum certainly isn’t killing anything, even if it is in a terrible location

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

he's managed to make himself a charity.

[@SlearBlaneheart]

@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls Perhaps you don't know the purpose of a museum? Its certainly not to document something that's alive and current. Do the math, bro.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

@@SlearBlaneheart lol I done did the mathematics bro. what are you talking about? Have you never been to MoMA or the MET? I could go on and on. Not to mention, a lot of those bands are gone. Singers are dead, eras long gone, et cetera. It’s not really alive and well either. The best punk years are definitely behind us

[@sspbrazil]

Sorry, but Las Vegas is the least punk place in the world. Lol.

[@troyevanthompson]

amazing looking facility, but i agree....drag that its in vegas

[@jeffmurphy3179]

As a lifelong resident, I can confirm that you don't know what you're talking about... "sorry, lol" 😐

[@troyevanthompson]

thanks for commenting with personal knowledge. i'm sure there is more to vegas than the strip/gambling scene. so perhaps it is the most punk place in the USA, as i'm sure I would have been even more punk leaning if I grew up in that environment rather than the east coast/midwest. have a wonderful 2024! @@jeffmurphy3179

[@sspbrazil]

@@jeffmurphy3179 it’s the place where musical artists go to die, not a punk paradise. I can’t think of a more cheesy place than Las Vegas.

The anti-tesis of punk it's to make a museum about it... CBGB's makes a boutique selling "unique punk" leather jackets from the era at 3000 € and it's one of the sadest places that i visited. That's punk!!??
