Great reaction, NOFX's musicianship and songwriting is way underrated outside the punk music scene
Thank you for reacting to my suggestion ❤ One of the best reactions to the song. I will convert you to punk, the machine like drummer of the band Otoboke Beaver is the fastest burst drummer currently touring. Their song Don't light my fire, is a great start.
I mean Lorna shores drummer definitely out drums him by miles. But yeah maybe for punk touring I agree.
venture to say we should've gone EP instead of live. But hey I'm a dope so whatever.
Thrash and punk (specifically "Skate Punk" like NOFX) have more in common than one might think at first glance.
I started with punk and naturally transitioned into Thrash. Hopefully putting out a Thrash album later this year.
If your digging this, check out the live version with Baz at Redrocks. Thanks for the video!
This is my first time here. I'm here for The Decline by nofx. I hope you like it as much as I do. Anyway, on with the show.
I actually started with punk bands like NOFX and then transitioned into metal in high school. Been writing crossover thrash for 20 years now.
I was at the show in Montreal!!!
Apparently he plays the Danelectro because he was getting back pain from the P-Bass he used to play in the '90s and the Danelectro was the lightest bass he could find.
I can understand that, its the same reason I use my Ibanez more than my Sandberg. The Ibanez is half the weight
Great reaction, its the first clip I saw from you. It made me want to see more. If you do another NoFX Song, you might should know that they are are a band with there own label. That means, the nasty copyright hammer isnt that nasty here. There is no big label in the background to strike you with copyright issiues, as long as it is somekind of fair use, everything is cool (at least it was on many other channels)
Glad you could appreciate this. To be honest, just like metal, there are a ton of different sounds and subgenres in punk that I think anyone could get into if you don't like the stereotypical Ramones/Sex Pistols or Green Day/Offspring stuff. There's a lot of interesting punk bands, this being one, that do impressive stuff. The vocal thing with Fat Mike is definitely common, its an acquired taste for sure, but there are a lot of punk bands that have great vocals. Bad Religion has a great, unique vocalist. Less Than Jake or Sublime in the Ska Punk genres. And then there's bands that are like punk/metal like Propagandhi or Strung Out, whom you might like. Strung Out does a really good cover of Bark at the Moon.
If you want to try more NOFX, I'd recommend Idiots are Taking over. Really great bass line in that song. And you're right, their drummer is killer. One of the best in punk.
I was very impressed by the drummer, and I'd consider him good for any genre! I'll definitely check out some of your suggestions, as I've always liked the mindset of punk ( one of my favourite thrash bands, Anthrax, I consider to have a punk like mentality ) but just have not clicked with the music itself in general and would love to find some bands that I do click with
His name is stinky and he is killer
punk to me is about singing even if you dont “sound good”
Ive always felt that 90s skate punk has a very similar feel to thrash metal. When you consider that skate-punk was essentially a polished versjon of hardcore - which itself was being blended with thrash to form crossover (bands like Suicidal Tendendies, Municipal Waste, Body count) - the two genres aren't hugely removed from other, even though formed out of completely different scenes.
Theres plenty of "modernish" skate-punk bands who sound a lot more metal than punk (A Wilhelm Scream, Adrenalized, Almeida etc)
I can absolutely agree with this. Considering that's my favorite of both genres.
I'm a speed freak.
Will be seeing these NOFX again for their last show in Montreal in August. Cant fucking wait.
IM GOING THERE TO! ON THE 24th, I was at this concert that he is reacting to! It was so clear live!
This song brings me to tears nowadays.
25 years ago not so much, but last week it got me emotional! I love Nofx and my wife got me ticket in August for the fair well tour; they are playing the decline
It absolutely is in standard tuning , no baritone. Mike plays a danelectro short horn copper bass, hefe plays a standard us tele and Melvin plays an esp US lemon eclipse
Dude, check out Strung out…. Start with twisted by design 🤘
if you are metalhead, i think you would like The Exploited with song like The Sea Of Blood (just check album version ) :)
If you want to be blown away listen to the original recording or the decline live at red rocks, they play with a full orchestra on that one
agreed... i am somehow Nofx fan with saying, that they were never good live performers :D
I love the rambling, I know the song, so I'm okay with you talking a lot when you are making good points
People say this song is a punk rock masterpiece, mostly because it's a punk rock masterpiece. Still mostly unheard and unappreciated, as punk rock intends.
fat mike is one of the guys that made me want to play bass. Still not able to do that weird triplet picking thing he does reliably
Lol I discovered nofx like a year after I started playing bass and they became my favorite band. We covered many of their songs but the bass was always slightly wrong because I too could not do that weird picking he does. To this day, like 20 years later. I just don't fuxking get it.
Fuck yeaahhhhh! I’m hear for allllll this! Maybe some Rancid next! I think you will love it!
Good on you for stretching your musical ear! Good for our brains to listen to stuff we think we wouldn’t like!
freshly baked, looks like hashish to me.
If you're down to check out some more NOFX, please react to their song, Doors and Fours. Warning, it's lyrically heavy. (It's also much shorter)
If "Prunk" had a lineage, it starts with Budgie
I certainly can't argue with that!
Love to see a feature on your bass guitars. I'm a big Jazz bass fan, see one on your eall.
I'm planning out a series of equipment run down videos and will start filming them soon
Cardiacs.... the godfathers of pronk
Check out Exile in Oblivion by Strung Out
As far as I've seen in several clips of them he's switching guitar a few times during this song...
You have to check out the band Jinjer.They are a Ukrainian, progressive middle band that's just never disappoints. Jinjer Pisces the live session is the general introduction introduction in to Jinjer Tati is a beast
I've done 3 videos on Jinjer
Oi Oi Oi!
Prunk - I think you’ve just coined a term 😉👌
I'm actually a little bit attached to that one now
Please react to happier than ever by Billie Eilish
I heard they suck live...
Thats an injoke btw.
I was already a fan then I got this and played it so much the cd fukd up
@scramblesish so much of my angsty 14ish year old self wasted on such a shit punk band, man I could've listened to bad religion, rancid, less than jake, the casualties, no use for a name, me first and the gimme gimmes, goldfinger, ah but nonetheless, so long and thanks for all the shoes. Twas good times.
I think you'd be much more impressed with the album version, all super clean and tight. The lyrics are fairly heavy as well. These dudes were my absolute favorite in the 90's but then they decided they're politicians and started advocating for a bunch of insane BS and they lost me. But, I can separate the art from the artist and I still listen to them, I'd just never want to meet them lol. They've always been known for their harmonies which sound great on their albums but they also have the reputation as kinda sucking live. Great band, maybe the GOAT punk band, but their extreme left turn they took.. I just can't respect it. I'm sure that really bothers them and keeps them up at night lol.
Not used to the vocal style? Lean into the lyrics. Especially this one. They are literally begging you to listen. Punk has a ton to say. Very little filler. Very intelligent most of the time. Please read the lyrics and give it a relisten. This is not a simple song. It took me years to fully understand it.
