“We’re still gonna record. We’re still gonna play music” this made me soooooooooo happy!
then they broke up
Thank you for 40 years of amazing music
FACTS!!!!
Been a fan since 14, at 42 it was great to see their last show in Florida.
Fan at 13 and saw them just yesterday at their last fort worth show bro at 33. Dream come true.
Thank you Mr. Sandin!!! Funny story, my first fake ID was your name. Love what you have done for yourself and inspired us all.
Best comment ever! Let's gooooo!
Great to hear more music is coming U will be missed down here down under 53 year old fan boy for life peace and love lloydy
Ha know you from rpm can tell by your wording good to see a fellow vinyl lover
I totally feel you, when you say: I don't buy. I'm pretty sure, that right now they all feel like "This is it". But after "staying" home for a few years, there is a good chance, that they will feel different about it.
Seriously. I bet they play special gigs in California and stuff.
There's no reason they have to do world tours, but we'll see some shit for sure.
It’ll be like jimmy from pennywise he had those few years off and now he’s having more fun then ever
The biggest joke ever was the Face to Face break up in 2003. I saw their “last show” at Soma in San Diego 😂 I think your right, I’d be surprised if they quit doing shows, too many fans and it’s in their blood
They broke the news literally 4 days after they played near my home and then said they were never coming back to this area, that the final tour would not include a stop anywhere nearby and that pissed me right off. I didn’t go to the show cause I had work and thought “they come through every year and I’ve seen em a bunch, I’ll catch ‘em next time.” I would’ve quit my job to see them the last time if I had known. Oh well…live and learn. Go see your favourite bands always. Don’t procrastinate! They might just break up 4 days after you missed them in your town.
Airplanes exist. In fact, I hear they have their own airline.
@@JustinLesamiz Thanks tips. You’re a real Mcgruff the crime dog there.
Not gonna lie I’m still sad about watching my last show in Brisbane
Been watching u guys for 25 years
If someone hosted-and-promoted a Punk-rock festival very near to LA, and handled all logistics such that NOFX could throw their stuff into the trunk of their Subaru and be on-stage in 15 minutes.....they'd play.
Really cool theyre still gonna record albums. Thats great to hear

That is my positive takeaway from this interview.
Yeah, except they haven't put out a GOOD album in the better part of 20 years. A handful of good songs, but it's mostly been low effort stuff.
Maybe this will help their creativity. I kinda doubt it though.
Touring is rough when youre wasted for 30 years straight... its probably for the best
I think NOFX would have made it bigger if they just embraced the word Whoa a little more.
Yeah yeah yeah. I agree.
Whoa on the whoa’s there dude.
people who say touring isnt tiring... tiring for a healthy person, add booze and drugs like some of these guys do, be amazed they are still alive, let alone touring for as long as they have. Boys need a break.
Ok Granddad...
I've got my tickets for the mtl show in 2024!!! This will be my 6th time getting to see the best punk band in history!!
But isn’t Mike touring with co-defendants?
Hopefully they'll become the punk rock eagles with 20 farewell tours
Facts...
Lol it’s so tough… when you’re hungover the whole time. Apart from that it’s sleeping in a luxury motorhome and playing music.
The most down to earth rock star ever
Smelly is just such a great dude.
Glad I've seen them 3x time then! :)
Hey Smelly.. you should form another band!!! I'd like to see and hear the stuff youd create!! It would be so awesome! The punk rock world NEEDS this right NOW. Id like here YOU!
Ya would be hard in concert.. they need to turn Erik's mic up and mike's down or atleast mikes off inbetween songs so mike can't rant about b.s lol...
I don’t get why people were suprised? They’re pushing 60 and in punk rock that’s gotta take it’s toll to tour. Each tour the last 7 years I’ve treated it as “their last”
Laughs in Rolling stones**
I never cry…today I may cry
I thought the title was implying they were done touring with Smelly specifically. Ironically he seems to be the only one who wants to keep touring.
Damn it seems like the band is stopping just because of Mike.
Melvin has 100% also said he doesn’t want to stop and is super sad this is happening.
They wanted Mike to stop drinking and doing drugs and he said no. Blame Mike.
@@weatheredtomehich is really f*d up on Mikes part considering all of the friends he has lost to abuse. I guess Mike is wishing that someone writes a song about him one day.
@@robotjeans There Is, It's Called "Fat Mike Is On Drugs(Again)" By Less Than Jake
@@drunkpunk313 I'm thinking more of a remembrance song.
Propag has a great song about Fatty.
I'm watching this 8 months later... they have tour dates in Australia 2024.... so yea.
You Have all been such a big part of growing up in Sac, Jen , melissa and I would go to the shows at the Cattle Club and San Fran and party at Mark Curry’s after , Was just so fun and Feel so Happy when I know your playing , in SF or where ever , that close to see your shows!! You guys are the Best True and funny motherfuckers , sad to hear your ending a Wild ride, of touring and playing , together, sending Heart bubbles and Something is stuck in my eye, over this!! Much love to all of you!! Cheers !!! Hope all the new adventures you choose are amazing and full of Music
I feel like they should do a residency in Vegas since Mike lives in Vegas and play one off shows here and there. But who knows.
That would be AMAZING!!!! Holllly shit! To see NOFX doing a residency would be a dream!
After what he said after 1-OCT? Yeah right.
@BACK TO YOUR STORY there's no casino here that would want an NOFX residency if we're being honest.
There is no way (NOFXing way) those guys are never going to play a show again.
I believe the last KISS farewell tour (whatever number farewell tour it was) before I believe that NOFX are done playing shows. 😂
They should announce their reunion show this week and make it the shortest breakup ever.
That is exactly what I said LOL! Only time will tell...
@@BACKTOYOURSTORY Haha
I saw UK Subs a couple years ago and they are still great. If they are still performing and Charlie is 78 and still giving it his all then I can't believe NOFX are done. But like you said time will tell.
Final tour....it ends when they say it ends. It could go on and on. Their first tour was the final tour if you think about it....
Im getting ready to see my 2nd final kiss tour. Maybe ill see a fiew more nofx shows 😊
🤣🤣🤣
I got my tickets for both the berlin shows in 2024
No way! Reunion is planed i am shure!
NOFX start a CZcams page. You can go LIVE and reach international community. Instead of us comming to you at concert. You can come to us LIVE on here. Practice or LIVE SHOW?
Let's start a band Smelly
Let’s start a band smelly!! 🤘🏽
Ha you wanted to say Red Rocks. Well it better be the 1st stop on their On the road again tour! I don't think they are even playing Denver this last go around. It fucking sucks! But I am glad they will still be making albums!
I don’t believe they will never play again they have been a band 40 years and after a few years everyone will really miss playing. I wish bands would slow down before getting to this point like shit record an album then play a handful of shows like LA, NYC,DC, VEGAS you know just A-markets, play 2 shows a week for 2 weeks then 2 weeks off so u can either spend time hanging out in those places or fly home or just do one off shows which would be much easier for NOFX because they don’t have some huge production all they need to do is bring a couple guitars each, rent amps and a drum kit or use ax-effects/kemper it would be much easier for them then many bands plus they dont care about being perfect. They literally could have a small crew set the stage up for
Them they could fly out there a few hours before the show, play the show and fly home after.
Crazy how they found out it was officially over, classic fat mike lol
Mike's brain's broken because of drugs, it's been for a long time... Sad...
What's with the hosts shirt? Lol 😂
It will make me boycott Fat Wreck if they charge inflated prices for a final farewell tour and then go back on it. Imagine actually saving money for that sort of thing and then the band says fuck you about it. So I kind of hope this is their final tour because it will be seriously shitty to the fans that pay for those shows if its not true.
I think the cool thing for a punk/rock band to do these days is if you aren't going to tour-just don't. Otherwise you sound lame if you do end up touring after swearing you're not.
Its been a good run Fellas,"So long and thanks for all the shoes"
Tentatively subbing. The Rancid "t-shirt" thing, whatever it is supposed to be, is slightly disturbing.
😝😝😝
Don't buy it for a second. They should say they won't do 30/40/50 date tours anymore.
But they could still do 1-3 shows a year. They shouldn't say they'll never perform again. It's just not gonna age well.
Last tour ends …. Reunion tour begins
Mike is a business man
They'll play again eventually. Unfortunately, if Smelly didn't want to I think Mike would replace him. IMO
😢
I think the legality of the situation is why
Smelly is the fuckin best
NOFX and Sum 41 were both huge influences for me as far as melodic punk goes. Few do it as good as these two bands and
I hope that I can bring that same level of quality.
Mike must've gotten a better hook up back home compared to on the road. This is the result of that. Wait till the quality goes down and they'll be back
Time will tell....
I would still go see NOFX without fat mike. This band IS my youth. I have never enjoyed myself more at any show.
"Cover them hairy nips bro." - Smelly's Internal Dialogue
Ahahahahaha! Something has to keep me warm. Lol!!!
they will perform again I bet 1000 bucks
I agree
I don't see it either.....they'll play the odd shows at some point
"As of right now" does not make "Wholehearted" that convincing
I blame Eric
Just play local gigs at the beginning, middle and end of summer. Have the audience come see you
There's no $$ in that.
@@weatheredtome obviously it's about still getting to perform once and while and not about the money. They have been playing for live shows for 20 plus years obviously there is some passion for live shows.
@@weatheredtome tired of touring. Driving an hour from your home to do a one off show here and there is different.
How many times has Fat Mike said he’s “now sober”? I take it with a grain of salt.
I can't imagine them not playing the odd date here n there, I've seen them live n it was great but horrible show, think people were at the side of the stage waiting to kill them by the end of the set, think its written about in the hepatitis bathtub book, it was Gig On The Green in Glasgow Scotland
They want to make that blink 182 ticket money. If yall come back and gouge ticket prices yall will for ever be "dead to me." Which also is a great band.
🤣🤣🤣
They're gonna get board and Mike will get the itch to fuck with the crowds and make people laugh...I give it two yrs...maybe not touring but definitely gonna play some shows and maybe a festival reunion...bet it'll be at Punk Rock Bowling....just don't do what the Misfits did and go play arenas with $500 tickets to be anywhere near the stage.
They are pulling a Beatles. After some years of just studio albums we will see them on playing a roof somewhere.
Looking forward to seeing them again, less than a year after their final tour 😂 £76 for a ticket. Wonder if they’ll be playing their anti-Capitalist songs.
Whoa to the Shows
They can just do shows and not full tours
FACTS...
Fuck it. El hefe has a fantastic voice. Hes a great player. Find a bass player.
I wish they would stop completely.
How long before the last date of there tour does NOFX announce there return.. All members Except for Smellynas John 5 will take his place on keyboards lol
Oops 'All members except for Smelly,as John5 will take his place on keyboards lol
I dont believe it. Never again? Not even a show or two?
... untill they run out o money.
Why even bother wearing a shirt ya know 😅
That's what the wifey says! Ahahahah...
Wait 5 years and they'll be selling tickets on Ticketmaster for $300 a seat
People this late in life with all the tattooed window dressing just say so much about our era.
When Fat Mike realizes he is not making money with the museum and the CA bills are hitting him hard, he will come back...
he voted for it, he should sit in his dress and shit bed and sleep in it.
NOFX should have ended about 10-15 years ago. Punk is for kids - at this point it's just garbage. They are a great band, just realize.
Pretty much.. Let's say 2013 would have been a decent point to call it quits, at their 30th year mark. They haven't made a good album since like 2006.
lol no dude Im 43 you are never too old, I still love it.
AGREEEEED
When Mike stopped writing songs and just riffing on his quasi famous lifestyle it got old quick.
@@zacatkinson3926
I know but watching dudes in their 60s play punk rock music that they wrote in their 20s is so cringe. And I’m an old rocker that’s about to hit 40. I can’t go to shows anymore. I can’t take all the political postering in music anymore. I miss when I was oblivious to the shit.
No pueden no venir a paraguay😂
I mean, I don’t but it either. Fat mike celebrated the 25th anniversary of fat wreck on the 24th anniversary just to mess with everyone involved. Come on now.
how is "the road" tough when you're a big punk rock band????? Your gear is flown to the city, let's say Austin or wherever. You have roadies set everything up. Your guitar is tuned for you. All you have to do is get on a plane, probably first class, and fucking show up. Wow, that sounds really rough. The touring life is so crazy. And then after the show you hang out with a few people, maybe explore the city, and then hit the hotel. Touring in NOFX is not hard. You literally just get on a first class flight. Everything else is done. Then pick up your guitar. Then sing... "he spent sixteen years, getting loaded..."
I don't think they make as much we all would like to hope. He was doing Uber Eats during the Pdemic. Not sure it is the fancy high-flying lifestyle we all would hope NOFX is doing after all these years.
Nofx has become part of the machine it’s time for them to go
What does that even mean?
@@tb7871 I mean that nofx is part of the 4/4 nursery rhyme 4 chord pop culture machine making kids think being cool and image are a better life choice than studying music and practicing. They are not good, the band plays at an Entry level at best, the stupid “punk” skin is the equivalent of an emotionally stunted man that plays with action figures in his 30s. Grow up mike your not a gate keeper you’re a terrible musician on drugs that never got good that no one should look up to.
It's B.S. those guys will be back in a few years. Watch.
mikes "womens underwear for men" line of clothes will have to fail first. Those dresses he wears are expensive and he will need more sooner or later.
Mate, put on a shirt.
Imagine working construction..u think touring is tough
FACTS!!!
The thing is: construction is consistent. You start at a certain hour and end at a certain hour. You know when your day begins and ends. It’s similar every day. It may be tough, but it’s consistent. We’re creatures of habit. People need this consistency and they don’t realize it.
Touring provides NONE of that consistency. There is no permanence to anything. You do it for months on end and you have no idea where you are. You wake up in a different place every day and they all eventually blend together. It sounds cool but it can get old very fast. I followed a friend around on a tourbus for 3 weeks and it was fascinating but more exhausting than you think. Do it for months and it takes its toll simply because humans really don’t fare very well when their environments are constantly changing.
If nothing in your life is permanent, you kinda lose a sense of who you are. I know that sounds like hyperbole but it kinda explains why touring is harder than you think.
I quit music cause of touring. Construction I get to go home at night.
@@pastorofmuppets777 Exactly. People don’t realize how important routine is until it’s gone.
Try fuckin working a day job ,having to practice everynight after work,jams with band 3 nights a week,then having to tour. Being a musician is way harder than your job. Sorry just the truth.
I’ll take a record over a show any day
idk, as much as i think their new records are decent...there's nothing like a nofx show. always a good time and ill miss it
It will last a year until they need money again hahaha. Mike will get tired of watching his bandmates in abject poverty
Who is this chick? 😂
Great songs, terrible band. 🤗
Guy on the right, you look ridiculous
Thank you 💜💜💜
Who cares? How much do you weigh anyways.
Being conservative is the new punk rock. NOFX went flaccid years ago. Tough to call yourselves punk when you're establishment, status quo, corporate progressives
Totally agree
Yep. Crazy to think but it’s true. The libs gone so mad that the middle is now conservative. Like overnight. No end in sight either.
Mike pence and nazis, totally punk bruh 🤡
Well said
moron
nofx is cringe...basically democrats not punks...you guys look like you work at hot topic
Whoa I hope they can recover from this devastating youtube comment takedown. Good luck boys, you'll make it through office computer888's withering jabs.
@@ethandraught6435 good one ethan!!!....enjoy the rest of your day on red it
Why are you commenting on this if you don't even like the band? Seems kinda cringe in itself
@@colinesplen2518 because this lame video was recommended to me by youtube because nofx is a mainstream band this channel pays money to have their content promoted.... this is the comment section...where people are free to leave comments...what i did
@@officecomputer8887 You are definitely correct about being free to leave comments but you are incorrect about our channel paying to have our content promoted. We don't pay for our stuff to get pushed out. Thanks for watching our lame video! 🖤😘
Palease they will obviously play again you cant have a Réunion tour unless you break up
Because they are Billionaeres.
forget all the good times
