- A chance meeting with Ken Chin #chipig lead singer of S.N.F.U. while skating through Gastown Vancouver B.C. Ken speaks about life and death, Suicide, and his long performing career. Ken is a strong person with a big heart who never quits. It was an amazing encounter, I will never forget him.
#chipig, @chipig, #snfu
A beautifully candid interview. It brought a tear to my eye knowing that he is no longer with us. He's finally on his cloud. Thank you for everything, Mr. Pig.
still unbearable
He was the best front man, got to see them twice in Az.
Such a voice, lyrist
Broke my heart. I cried like you,
Tears, great song.
Rest easy in the mothership, Chi. Thanks for 35 years of music.
A beautiful man. Great edit guys. Heartbreaking to come across this today.
Saw them so many times in hometown Edmonton.
Be well good sir, you are loved.
Stay gold.
Got to see some of those iconic shows in the 80s and even the 90s. Rest easy dude. Great job with the interview.
SNFU was one of the very first hardcore punk bands I started listening to as a teenage skateboarder. I was turned on to them by one of my earliest skater friends back in 1987. In my Freshman English class that year, we had a project where we had to choose a song that meant something to us, put together a collage, then present the song to the class. I chose "He's Not Getting Older, He's Getting Bitter" from the album, "If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish." I remember when it came time to present my collage and play the song to the class, the uncomfortable looks of disbelief and shock I got after it finished were quite something. Ahhhhh, the fond memories of high school and punk rock! This was a great impromptu interview and it looks like you guys really captured a special moment. Thanks for the tunes and RIP Mr. Chi! Hope you're at peace on Cloud #3. ❤
I got to meet some of my heroes too, including this man. He did a pig face drawing on my arm that i got tattooed over, my wife as well. He hung out with us for hours and was just cracking jokes and beers the whole time. I found out last night at band practice, put on snfu for the drive home and just cried while i sang along. Feels like losing family.
What a great interview. and I'm not too proud to admit I got a bit choked up when he said how much fun it was to make friends with you guys. He seemed like a genuinely warm, thoughtful guy and I wish SNFU had gotten bigger, I wish Kenny didn't go through his issues with drugs and I wish he was still here rocking the fuck out. RIP, Chi, enjoy your cloud or spaceship or whatever and thanks for giving us all the great songs and memories.
Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for sharing your moments with Ken. RIP!
Thank you for sharing this! RIP Mr. Chi Pig!
Thanks for posting this interview. Really cool edit and conversation with Ken. I hope he's on that middle cloud right now basking in the love of his parents and looking down at us and having a laugh.
I was fortunate enough to be able to buy him a beer and have a short conversation with him. It still blows my mind that they’re from my hometown.
Rest Easy Chi. An absolute icon.
Unbelievable how sweet this man was. His pure soul Will Shine Forever. Ciao Ken
RIP CHI legend

Ah Ken, what an amazing, poignant, and yet sad interview.
You had to know the guy to understand where he was coming from, he wasn't crazy or weird, just insightful & always present.
I hadn't seen him in a few years and I so wish I had seen him again before he was beamed up to be that middle pillow cloud between his folks.
Much love, Ken.
Be well where ever you are & glad to have known you for most of my existence, my youth would have never been the same with you and SNaFU.
Truly a Canadian treasure, seen him live in Regina in 02, really a genuinely nice person, RIP Chi
This interview made my day. Thanks for sharing it! This guy was a true legend.
Cheers from Brazil.
This just makes me so sad, It makes me miss him so much. He won't be writing more music. Such an amazing musician.
An incredible, incomparable force in music and in life. I am grateful for the time I shared with him and my friends at shows over the years. Enjoy the pillow cloud. I can think of no one more deserving. Thank you for your songs, stories, and kindness.
You were amazing. Its a shame the world couldn't see it
Great interview thx
Bless your f'in heart, Chi Pig!! And yes, you did make it upstairs! Forever eternal peace. 🌙 ✨ Thank you for sharing this @ thebeginning I just heard about his passing.
That opening live footage was fimed by Michael D'Agnillo. My friend Otto booked SNFU to play the University of Windsor Ontario that year for $400. We were still in high school. We were starting a scene. I interviewed the band before the show for my fanzine.
Just heard news that he passed. Unbelievably sad. Such a legend.
Much love, RIP Chi Pig
Rest In peace Chi.
Legend
RIP Chi
Chi Pig is immortal! The Ceiling can no longer hold him down!
Rest in Peace
See you on the spaceship bud! Hope ur enjoying time with your mom n dad!
R.I.P. Legend
Rest in Peace ☮️
Life is like the blink of an eye compared to eternity (especially an eternity in Hell). One of the only unforgivable sins in my opinion is suicide because you can't ask for forgiveness after. I completely understand why some want to die like the people suffering from cancer pain but it's not worth it. Even if there is a 0.01% chance of going to Hell, it's not worth it. Don't do it, please. Ask for the Lord to take you.
Sorry pillbox. Sure I like Pig and SNFU bit I can't cry for one that's destroyed themself.

"That cop even knows my name"
"What's his name?"
"Ahh fucking cop"
Looks like the spaceship finally picked him up. Have a good time out there Chi!
How the FUCK does this video only have 278 views?? This is goddam gold! To sit with Chi Pig and have an honest to God conversation would be completely surreal.
I absolutely agree with you!
One of my fondest memories of my teenage years was meeting Ken, skating with him and then being totally surprised when he ended up being the singer of the band I was going to see (for the first time) that night. SNFU will always be in my top 5 favorite bands of all time and the memories of just how nice Ken was and never even mentioning his band as we skated. I got to see them and talk to him several more times over the years but that summer in 88 will always have a special spot in my brain. Rest In Peace and I hope you are relaxing on that third cloud.
Great story bro
I absolutely love that the one thing that kept him going was himself. That is amazing. Great interview. The world lost a brilliant human being.....or alien.
Chi got his beam to the cloud today and I'm happy for him. Thank you for you mr.pig.
R.I.P. Chi
Such a good man and the greatest frontman I've ever seen. A true one of a kind legend. Rip Chi.🙏
It was awesome for us to run into Ken and meet him. Such a good guy I hope he's doing well and gets a chance to see this video. If someone could send him the link it would be much appreciated, Thanks.
He's gone. Hope he's sitting between mom and dad right now. RIP.
Yeah unfortunately he passed yesterday
This is beautiful. Thanks for capturing it and posting
Just hung up the shirt he signed for me.
Rip Chi Pig. The most unique voice in punk rock. I'll never forget you!
You only needed a minute to know you were experiencing an unforgettable moment with Chipig commanding the audience.
He stirred entire spaces with his energy and magical presence.
We always left an SNFU show feeling like we participated in something special together.
You gave it. We got it. We were lucky for your presence. Thank you 🙏
Gone...he is gone away..gone to a better place. Wonderful interview. Thanks
Safe travels my brother .... i am proud and so blessed with being able to call you my friend for the past 40 years .
Best of the chi interviews I’ve seen so far since he passed. That’s amazing how prescient he was saying he’s just waiting for the spaceship to come down take him up to the cloud between his mother and his father, he can’t wait.
It’s not sad at all -- he’s in his happy place.
I saw SNFU in the 80's in London...and they were mental......I wish you a pleasant journey Ken....I hope you are happy now...xx Take care Brother...x
His perspective is amazing. I still can't get over the impact he had on so many people. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him and explain how grateful I was to have his music in highschool. Fucking modern day Mozart
Enjoy it upstairs Chi! You are missed!
Rest in piece my friend. You lived a full life that most can only imagine, see you on the other side.
Heartbreaking... SNFU was a part of growing up.. shame I never got to see him live
RIP Chi! Know how you felt only to well’ serious frontman
Breaks my heart that chi is gone, the sardine can is gone...that was Ben at the end...the lower eastside will never be the same...
Looks like that spaceship took him home...there were weird lights in the sky that Thursday night 🖤
Chi kissed me once. I never really knew why, but if he kissed Kurt too, I'll take the compliment lol. I'm gunna miss him.
Turns out he had 7 more months to live... SNFU were an amazing band in those mid 80s. Saw them in a tiny club in Ohio and they were unbelievably. I've seen them a number of times since but they were never the same. Sad to see the destruction of drugs...RIP Chi
WOW!!! The only album that I ever bought simply because of the cover. That little kid all stressed out and holding a hand grenade with the green tint to the cover. She's not on the menu, Cannibal Cafe, The Gravedigger. And no one else wanted to play... I still play that album and I still dig it. Glad to see Mr Pig. Love that album. Be Safe 😷😵😷✌
What a blessing to have this private moment with this legend - Amazing Interview!
🥺💔😥RIP Mr. Chi Pig
So many stories and nights out running into him and ending up carousing around the hood. He always looked out for me when I was often going 'full tilt' and would make a point if we were in a crowd to make sure I was o.k . I'll miss your karaoke nights. The scene has lost a true fixture and now a legend. Miss you Ken,enjoy your pillowy cloud... rest well.
1,2 SNFU

I used to hang out in the music scene in the Vancouver downtown east side over the last decade or so and would run into him and chat quite often. He was a really decent human being.
turs out the dr was right RIP CHI
RIP Mr Chi Pig :'(
I love this Interview! Greetings from Brazil! 🖤
R.I.P Chi, no more hurt
R.I.P. Mr Chi Pig beautiful spirit
SNFU GREAT MEMORIES.
This is wonderful. ❤️
I worked for SNFU in the mid nineties in the epitaph years.. Played Keys on Bobbitt.. Chi was my room mate on tour as we all doubled up on hotels.. This version of Chi in your interview is a different Chi that I knew. But he made his choices and he died young. If this was uploaded in Jan 2020, the interview must of happened before Oct 19 of 2019 as would be 57 in January. thanks for this. Simon/ Apologue podcast
Thanks for sharing this heartfelt interview.
The mother ship came, RIP
I am so sad
How cool, awesome that you were able to sit down with him like this and just talk. I briefly met him before a show in Calgary around 2009, just a great guy! Eternal rest with your parents and the aliens Chi Pig
Sorry.. I can't help it, but this is too funny.. "Mr Chi phone home"... 😅 What a cool human being he was..
My first concert in '85 @14 years old. Never have seen anything top that. Turned me Punk for Life
Well done... a true creative master. Thank you.
RIP KEN ,,
RIP
RIP
RIP Chi Pig. Great guy.
RIP, Mr Chi Pig
Guy had a nice soul . really good interview.
RIP, sir.
You know someone’s a good guy when the other dude has this constant smile on his face.
This can also be a feeling of pity or a pretended sense of belonging from someone who obviously leads a better life in order to keep the conversation going.
Goats for world peace and free love that’s precisely what I got from it.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing
Rest easy Chi.
RIP Mr Chi Pig...
Rest in Power
Great interview, thanks for sharing it
I was at the whiskey show in 85 he was great what a show he put on
Rest in power MISTER Pig.
👊❤
RIP Chin
