- Fat Mike joined the podcast Tuna on Toast with Stryker!
Mike said he signed the bds he did because they were great musicians and great players with great songs!!
Mike shoutouts No Use for a Name and Propagandhi, Strung Out
and he wishes he could have signed The Lillingtons.
Mike also tells Stryker that labels are still important and that he's starting a new label, which will be all about songs. - Hudba
Survival of the Fattest changed my life.
All great bands mentioned. Strung Out though. GOAT 🤘
Swingin' Utters. Such a great body of work on FAT. Probably the most traditional, at least until 2013, also one of the few Street Punk bands signed. Thanks for that!
I don’t think I’ve ever looked up a single Fat Mike interview but this was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn’t mind listening to him talk about music all day
When he's not being a drunk/high shithead, he has some interesting insights.
Fat wrechords have been my Gateway into so many new bands. I'm so happy it's still going strong.
Literally listed my high-school playlist: strung out, face to face, propagandi, no use for a name, still listen to most of those bands.
🎶 LiLLingTONS! I saw her just the other night….🎵
I've been listening to NOFX since the early 90s and Ive never seen a single Fat Mike interview til today🤔
I've always trusted Fat Wreck to put out awesome albums!
Check my shit out…czcams.com/video/xyyIsKoX1R0/video.html got a whole channel. Unsigned.
I KNEW Mike would mention the Lillingtons. I'd still be regretting it too lol
I discovered Propaghandi with "Anti Manifesto" from the Fat Music for Fat People compilation so thanks for that at least.
I hope the, what used to be punk "scene" does a 180 again before I die.
with mike around its a laugh at those I can control issue.... hes a pile!
It's such a damn good song lol.... That came from How to Clean Everything, right?
And this me….unsigned. Like and subscribe if you dig czcams.com/video/xyyIsKoX1R0/video.html
I like that Mike regretted not getting the Lillingtons, but then he signed Teenage Bottle Rocket, which has the singer from the Lillingtons. So in a way he did.
And then they had a sexual assault scandal.
Wish he’d sign me…czcams.com/video/xyyIsKoX1R0/video.html
Liked how Mike spit out all the band names I was thinking about. I need to listen to some Propagandi now
hells yes.
He's completely right. If Fat Mike likes them, they're worth a listen.
Mike looks so good sober
The interviewer's infomercial-esque over-reactions. haha
That first AM! record is gospel
they almost saved punk rock
Wow! Fatty is still on the cutting edge. I like tht. A song label. Very kol. 💯 👀 🔥
I'm happy that he gave Jason and Strung Out their flowers..... Fckin BETTER talk about how talented they are...... Most talented punk band in history.
damn right, Strung Out is my favorite band of any kind of all time
100%
Ageed
100% .
Tell him to sign me😂😂😳😳 czcams.com/video/xyyIsKoX1R0/video.html
Short Music for Short People was where I got the idea of Short songs. And Short time later I fell in love with grindcore
I think a song label would be really inspiring to many artists.
Interesting. I agree labels are still important but they definitely are less so. So many musicians now can make at least a modest living independently. Streaming, for hire, or via upload sites etc, the internet has definitely done a lot for single musicians. Leveled the playing field a bit. That said, the band I was in def accomplished a lot more once we were on a well known street punk label - got to tour more, bigger shows, opening for bigger headliners and later headlining ourselves. This was before the 08' or so, label caved, and the band actually got bigger and more popular after, and I always wonder what the modern, internet-fueled industry would be like.
That's exactly why artists are avoiding labels like the plague today. They liken themselves to "taste makers," but they're largely just gatekeepers... and poor ones at that. I've been on both sides of that coin during my career and I always found more money and success (both in sales and tours) running indy.
Love the honesty with himself
Sure I’ll watch this
The level of quality thing rings true for those who cultivate it. Dine Alone is that for me. I give their bands 20 minutes of my time. Maybe 2 or 3 times. Granted they've gone major hipster, which really means incredible talent but belongs on college radio. But still.
The Lillingtons fucking rock. I saw them at Black Christmas in Detroit.
Like Mad Caddies.... exceptional players.
What!! I love Good ridance
Awesome! Burnout 3!
like give em the boom albums...found so many good bands from there
Song Label? We need an update on that subject.
Strung Out! Astrolux style.
whats the name of his new label?
I really* hope Fat Mike has Propagandhi on his podcast.
*really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really
he won't because fat mike is not a political punk nor cares about the scene society or anything but his money.
@@sharkulashairstylist5505 wow that’s uninformed.
@@SBb374 no it's really not. Fat mike is now just an image. It's the character of fat mike. Not the actual real person fat mike. It's a facade for $$$$.
And dude I'm saying this as a huge fan of fat wreck since like 1996/97? Ya 7th grade so yeah the 96/97 year. Got into fat wreck right around Christmas of 96. Offspring Smash led me to Pennywise About Time, the punk o rama comps, and my punk rock friends I made at school got me into Lagwagon and NOFX so fatwreck came along perfectly .... Survival of the Fattest FO LYFE!!!!!!
$3.99 AND NOT A PENNY MORE on the back of the CD lol back when comps were usually cooler than actual albums and u could buy it with saving a couple days lunch money, then skate to the mall n buy a new comp CD. Listening to punk mixtapes on my cassette walkman while skating ❤️ those was the days man, lemme tell ya. We used to bring all our mixtapes we made and listen to each other's, and then use those to make even BETTER mixtapes. It was a good time. And if one of us bought a tape/CD, we all had that album or comp !!!!!! Back when the internet didn't show you new bands, had to go by word of mouth or compilations or opening acts on tour. I wish I could go back to when nothing mattered except my friends, my skateboard, and trying to put girls boobs in my mouth for the first time ever 🤣
Him and Chris would argue the entire time.... Because Chris Hannah HAS to prove he's the biggest liberal genius in the entire world, and that he's NEVER wrong, that his opinions should be considered facts, and he's have to talk Abt animal cruelty for at least 33% of the podcast.
There
That's prop coming on. Cuz Chris takes over their interviews.
Well, their bassist talks a little bit.
But Jordy and Sulynn don't really talk much unless it's about them writing music lol, which is cool.
But yeah dudes it would just turn into Mike vs Chris arguments.
Sorry to spoil the fun.
@@eatassonthefirstdate Chris Hannah isn't a Liberal. I didn't bother reading whatever else you wrote. You should spend more time learning what these terms mean and less time being triggered by them.
Funny, while Good Riddance were not the most stellar musicians... of all the bands he listed I think they are the only ones that never put out a weak record, they also were possibly the best live show. I'm curious why, despite the pride taken in Propaghandi and Strung Out, Fat seemed to ignore a large portion the "Skate Core" type bands. Belvedere, Mute, Wilhelm Scream just to name a few. Just curious to hear how some truely great bands never did get picked up by Fat.
GR have some amazing songs so solid! Sean Sellars is a very good punk drummer also
@@gregvanbeek9797 And while Nate and Chuck did not have alot of tricks up their sleeve, they were quite good at sounding HUGE. Their blended Hardcore/ Skatepunk sound IMO made them sound alot less run of the mill than a large percentage of the Epifat scene, regardless of whether they were great players or not.
@@gregvanbeek9797 dude's, it's Russ.... He's a complete asshole. I've met him, I can say first hand that it was very unpleasant and I've subsequently stopped listening to that band entirely because of our encounter. He was a jerk to my wife as well, we thought it was just us until we saw him do the same shit to several other fans/couples. This was PRB, 2014. I had heard things but I always dismiss that crap until it happens to me, well, it happened. He's a total dick.
Ruiner by A Wilhelm Scream should definitely have come out on Fat Wreck.
For God and Country is a tad boring IMO.
He's got to be kidding with the whole Good Riddance comment. "Bound by Ties" is one of the best Southern California hardcore records ever made and their more recent work is just as potent.
Need another Pour Habit albumn!
love less than jake so bad. love rise against. -JC
His search for good songs makes sense considering all the 7 inches and comps of that era.
I want that hat.
I thought ducky outbid me in 1992 but I was clearly wrong.
Spot on, I listen to the Bombpops constantly...can't get enough. Thanx Mike
Propagandhi are an amazing band, I couldn't be further from them politically but I don't care, those riffs are great
I really wonder what would’ve happened to Lillingtons if they were on Fat
they are still amazing. the new record rips.
I’ve never heard of them
@@itsMrNoble now is your chance. They rule. Look up Lillingtons backchannel broadcast
@@whitetrashru not great but not as dire as I expected
@@itsMrNoble They have a new record that is lovecraft themed on Fat Wreck too.
It has to be Mad Caddies for me 👌
WTF ARE THOSE SHOES LMAO MIKE 0:38
So what is this new label called???
Bottles To The Ground
Fat Mike starting a private equity style song label sell the hits and make bank!
Like almost everyone I see on here, I'd take Good Riddance over almost every other Fat band out there, hands down. I know he was just talking about musicianship which, I don't think is bad either but, whatever.
he was joking, I think.
Name of his new Song Label? I'd love to send some tunes in.
Fat mike is slowly turning into boxcar Willy
Wizo was so good
Yes Mike ,please tell why you signed chixdighit from Canada, when there were so many better bands here.
A true legend
Screeching weasels were great, shame they were done dirty
L-I-L-L-I-N-G-T-O-N-S
I feel the same way about good riddance lol
I think a label just for songs is an amazing idea, totally get where Mike is coming from with not wanting to deal with recording whole albums and dealing with bands all the time. For me, it's hard to listen to an album, and most of the albums I do love took a few months to really sink in. Usually I just really enjoy the first four or five songs from an album and then the rest just doesn't do anything for me, or just a few songs from an album do it for me. I'm definitely more of a song lover than an album lover.
Lagwagon
Why does Mike shit on good riddance? They’ve been on the label for over 25 years
i think he's joking
Inside joke
No lie!!! Get Dead! opened our show!!
I heard ok and I was "this bands pretty rad!" To our guitarist! He agreed.
Saw their pin with he Fat wreck logo on it. Spend some of my per diem on it!!!
Just seeing FAT got me "Heyyy!... these cats gotta be good!"
Talked to them as we were all loading out and stuff and they were HILARIOUS!!!
kept saying how I wanted to blaze sooooo bad!!!
They said "Get Lifted!!?"
I go into the "I wanna talk to Samson!"
They started laughing hard! Said theyd toured all over and I 2as the only one whom knew that that was from!
I was SHOCKED they knew it!!!
I was more shocked NO ONE ELSE DID!?!?!?
They didnt have motá but said theyd been feipping and had some 'cid!
I was "no F'n way.... after my bad one.... I'd have to get paid alot of $ to and I'd need like 4 things to go with it to balance out that misery!! (Incase of a bad trip!! Its a miserable one. If not a trip and be enlightening!)
Youre totally correct dude!! FAT is a HUGE reputation builder!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻
CUZ ITS HARD BEIN' BLACK & GIFTED,
Find out in advance what restaurant your mom and dad are going to....and go someplace else
*Strung Out are gr8.* everyone likes Propagandhi. yawn. -JC
Lol good riddance?! Come one there the best of the bunch
grateful for the content but i cant b the only one who thinks this guy tries way to fkn hard
Hey Mike- what the fuck is the deal with the Gimme Gimmes????? Are you guys even still a band? Are you ever going to make another album??? It’s been 8 years!
Too busy mitigating his mental disorders.
It's a drag.
It’s probably over. Spike needs to be involved as well, otherwise it’s not Gimme
I mean mike doesn't even TOUR w the gimmes anymore. Saw Em in 2017 and Jay was on Bass.... I was so pissed. I wanted to try and talk with Mike but alas, had to settle for the Caper. Which was cool. I got to actually hang out with Cape at The DNA lounge in SF at a Strung Out show back in 2015 when i lived outside Sac town. Joey Cape is a very sad individual unfortunately. I mean maybe he was having a bad night or a bad day or something, i dunno.
@@eatassonthefirstdate why do you say that? What makes him a sad individual
@@danevertt3210 dude was that enough of an explanation? Lol sorry I was hit by the edibles earlier bro. But ya that's what I meant.... And man I really, REALLY hope that Joey can completely deal with Tony's death if he hasn't done so already. They were like best fckin friends dude. Have u ever heard any of their acoustic albums they did together?
SUUUUUCH good material man..... For real.
Good Riddance are the only band who have records that hold up and aren't shit you grow out of. Can't imagine listening to Strung out as a grown man.
Hey now. Lol
why is one acceptable whereas another is not?
@@OscarManners Good Riddance just doesn't sound like it only belongs to teenagers. I don't know what it is but as a grown up, there is this distinct adolescent poppyness to pretty much all the bands, even propaghandi, that Good Riddance seemed to not carry. I cringe listening to all that other shit.
You're crazy Good Riddance ain't got shit on Strung Out.
Dude every album Strung Out album released is eons better than GR don’t get me wrong I love GR but let’s be objective here Strung Out is just a much better band.
Clowns are horrible
New Fat sucks but old Fat some of the best bands ever.
This host seems like a typical poser...You can hear it in his voice..He is radio rock maybe.....💯🙏
he has been around forever and is hugely respected by the musicians so you're way off the mark.
He was on KROQ LA Radio biggest station from 1999-2018 and has done tons of other stuff and knows the entire music industry inside and out.
He said good riddance was ok! Good riddance was the only bad with any success that he signed
