'The Decline' is quite possibly the greatest song ever written. It doesn't matter how it is arranged or performed...it still shines. This cover is an absolute masterpiece. Well freaking done, dude!
It's the greatest song ever written. Too bad humanity will have the consequence of not being enlightened. Half of America denies climate change and supports Trump... We're done folks.
I don’t know if I’d say that, only because there are so many amazing songs out there, but The Decline is an absolutely amazing song. I revisit it every year or two, and have ever since it came out, and am always impressed with not only how well it holds up and what a meaningful and well-written song it is, but also how it continues to get better and better for me and seems to get more and more relevant. Back when this came out I don’t remember it making too much of a splash. We all liked it, but it seemingly took a few years for people (including many or most NOFX fans) to really recognize how great it is.
I’ve commented on a total of 5 UA-cam videos in my life... I would like to personally shake your hand someday. The original song simply says it all, and in no way shape or form could I fathom a version that could do it’s justice. You my good sir have placed a whole new flavor on a historical punk-rock masterpiece! Good Work!
This is one of the raddest things I’ve ever heard being a born and raised west Texas punk in the middle of nowhere Texas this brought a tear to my eye thank you sir
Fuck, I loved absolutely every dam moment of this song, you literally pulled it off with every detail and for that I have to say beautifully done, more than impressed with this cover, magical to say the least...
I grew up SoCal punk. This song in that context is the shit. Hearing it in this context, with these instruments, in this way. It hits different. This is very good.
I’ve been fortunate to see NOFX perform this song live. Somehow your version ended up in my recommended videos and as a bluegrass fan I was curious but I clicked on it thinking it could go either way. What a pleasant surprise to find that you fuckin’ nailed it. Thank you for this.
Damn. You nailed it. I’m not a big fan of bluegrass covers, and I expected to turn this off in 30 seconds, but I couldn’t stop listening. You nailed all the intricacies of the song and what makes it great. Very well done!
Same here. I wanted to hate this from the beginning because of close ties I have with this song. But, I’ll be a monkeys uncle, I couldn’t stop listening and this is one of the best versions I’ve heard of this song for sure
A bold endeavor!! Your song choice is an anthem, many would discourage most from attempting. The mix is awesome, the harmonies are on point, and your bluegrass chops are stellar. Mad props for showing your love for NOFX in such a unique way. Not everyone listens to just one kind of music, and I just love the crazy mash-em-ups, and genre bending that the new generation is creating. Keep pickin', singin' and strumming, please, because this is great!!
Good for you man. This could have been pure novelty bullshit but you surprisingly pulled it off. As someone with equal footing in punk rock and bluegrass i can say you did a damn respectable job.
I dont comment too much , if ever , but yeah , gotta say , great job. I really like this. Nofx is one of my favorites of all time, and your version of this is a really nice spin on it. Sounds great. You should do more covers of material like this.
This is a fucking killer version of this song. I downloaded it, and listen at least twice a week. Bryan bobo should try to get permission to release it on vinyl.
Bam. Official fan. I self medicate with SuperChunk, The Jaw to the Breaker, NoeffX, Pixies, Pumpkins, Immortal, Bukowski, Nucleus "Jam on it". The third to the last song on Justice w fade in. I reach for that lifesavers. Your version got called up on my internal frequency declaration record replay mood analyzer. Cover isn't kind enough. Version or Treatment. Skills. I needed to hear this through your system. Ty munchez Gratioso.
One of the greatest Songs ever written. And in my opinion the main content and thus the most important accusation that this song shows is the decline that began in 2020. that wasn't really the intention of NoFx...However, if you look at the lyrics in general - and you should - you have to translate the meaning to this now emerging "fourth industrial revolution". That's what punk is about to me. And if anyone doubts that then R.I.P. Punk, long live humanism!!!
I was very humbled listening to this. Brought a tear to my eye and raised the hairs on my arms. The power of good art is transforming and inspiring! Thank you Bryan and NOFX!

Just need to trim 12 minutes of fat off this pig and you'd have a real winner!

@@jbtallullah7009Americans thinking America is the only country in the world:
Bluegrass, the original punk rock.
So happy someone else draws the same comparison ❤️
Bluegrass and punk... match made in Heaven
Country musicians are now invited
To be fair, this is bluegrass. Country is kind of like the pop version of Bluegrass.
If they're willing to repeat these lyrics, they've likely already left Jesusland
If only more than "NOFX fans" could actually received these words, after all, they've only been here 20 years. Good show!
Try 40 years
Bluegrass fit so well to The Decline's theme
I've always thought that Mike's play style sounded like it'd easily fall into banjo. I didn't think I'd ever hear it though.

Perfectly summed up.
Hats off, sir. Great cover. And it thrills me to the tits that non-punks might soak up the message.
"thrills me to the tits" 🤣🤣☠️
Fucking hell I'm glad the internet exists so I can continue to expand my vocab. 🙌🏻 Thankyou 😂
As a die hard NOFX fan who lives with a country girl, well, this just hits all of the right spots.
6yrs later and still playing this. Great cover of one of the best song ever written.
It's a crime that this doesn't have a million views.
Seriously, I don't even like bluegrass but this cover is fantastic.
@@mdog86 Still makes me furious coming here and seeing insufficient traffic. Fucking sickening. This needs more eyes on it. This guy rules.
I've got my fair share of those 38k views 😁
No clue why this isnt more popular
OMG, how am I just finding out about this now. At first I was thinking, oh this should be neat. WOAH! THE ENTIRE SONG!?!?!?!
Oh my friggin' God. I am having goosebumps from start to end. This is, plain and simple, a masterpiece of a cover. You more than nailed it!
That regge switch was on point
Wow been a notx fan since 1992 now a Bryan bobo fan as well
This is one of the raddest things I’ve ever heard being a born and raised west Texas punk in the middle of nowhere Texas this brought a tear to my eye thank you sir
Texas punk, too. I'm here with you
Fuck, I loved absolutely every dam moment of this song, you literally pulled it off with every detail and for that I have to say beautifully done, more than impressed with this cover, magical to say the least...
breath taking
I grew up SoCal punk. This song in that context is the shit. Hearing it in this context, with these instruments, in this way. It hits different. This is very good.
that Melvin solo via banjo! yew!
Well done dude. This is a very very important piece of music for a lot of us and you did a great job! Amazing.....nice work.
Love it
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
My favorite song of all time !
How have I never seen/heard this!!! Amazing
Very good cover of one of the best pieces ever written.
Agreed

I hope you got to see it live with BAZ's orchestra at the Punk in Drublic craft beer and music festival.
I thought that was a Nofx original o shit this guy's got the nads to say he's soul creater damn
AGREED, my friend.
Holy mother of Jesuschrist, what a grat cover man!!!
Wish this was played on the radio....wait, didn't NOFX make a song about that? Lol
Please play this song on the 📻!
WOW, just WOW!!!😍😎😮👍👍👍
Awesome!
Now I love this song even more.

Well done man... definitely a super unique take on NOFX... 👏

How 19 people who can't even be classified as people didn't like it? This is amazing, I listen to it every day! Congratulations !
Excellent
Even got the Mel Yell in there! Great job man.
Amazing job Bryan! Just what I needed. Keep it up.
This gives the BAZ orchestral version a solid run for its money :)
Was not expecting this to rock as hard as it did. Love this fuckin song and this was really well done cover.
Not supposed to cover this, bravo sir!
Good for you man. This could have been pure novelty bullshit but you surprisingly pulled it off. As someone with equal footing in punk rock and bluegrass i can say you did a damn respectable job.
What a beautiful arrangement and rendition of a monumental classic. Thank you for this.
LOVE this!! I'm a huge NOFX and Bluegrass fan, I am very happy this exists! 10/10 🤟🏻
I love this version so fucking much!!
Came across this tonight... simply amazing cover. Thanks for taking the time making this arrangement and recording it!

It’s just really well done, the respect for NOFX shines through.
good music sounds good in all genres so long as good musicians are playing it. You sure nailed this! Thank you so much!

man! ... unbelievable, thank you
I'm here because of their last Melbourne show in Australia celebrating their 40th year. I hate country music but this cover cut deep. Thanks,
Fat mike is one hell of a song writer
This is a fucking killer version of this song. I downloaded it, and listen at least twice a week. Bryan bobo should try to get permission to release it on vinyl.
Fat mike won’t allow that

Wow as a huge NOFX fan this is cool!
One of the greatest Songs ever written.

That's what punk is about to me.
And if anyone doubts that then R.I.P. Punk, long live humanism!!!
I couldn’t help but imagine the drums underneath. So much that I was banging on my legs along with the video the whole time.
This is amazing, thank you.
That was beautiful, great job!
Freaky funcking great!
Nofx rules
This is very well done. Honestly thought I'd hate it but glad I gave it a shot. Good job man.
