- I interviewed Fat Mike from NOFX for ARTEconcert at the Hurricane Festival 2015. We waited for him till midnight but it was so worth it. Maybe some day I will upload the whole interview :)))
This is how I used to talk at 4 am after a LONG night of cocaine.
He's so interesting to listen to. And I really appreciate how this is edited.
Coolest thing about NoFx is that they've had the same line up since 1988...
Didn't Hefe join in 93 or something?
and the worst thing is that they still suck dick
Sounds like someone needs to come out of the closet already
1991. Dave died in like 88 or something, then they had someone else for lead, then El Hefe came on board in 1991.
Technicasualty Dave is still alive. Steve was their 2nd guitarist from 88-91 and he left to join another band. El Hefe joined in 91
I'm a NOFX fan since 1996 and still go to their concerts.
🙋♀️
Me too
You can here the blow in his voice.
He speaks like his sentences are full of commas.
Cartch probably high
yes and very quickly like snappy
its called coke
Wilmington 32 why are you here?
He was on cochiane
One great thing about NOFX; they never fail to make me laugh
Live. Interviews. And some songs.
I hope you get to see them on this tour, they're funnier than most comedians, and they actually give a shit about the songs. They were like, listening to the album good, but still all over the stage. Melvin really nailed all the solos, Jefe busted out a trombone and trumpet, it was magical
I saw this video high as fuck just yesterday. Ordered the book immediately, and then forgot about it. :D
It arrived just now, and i'm already laughing my ass off.
Highly recommended for all NOFX fans
Can't wait to see them live again. Greets from fuckin' Belgium!
Hahaha, nice one!
🤣🤣🤣
I stopped this video to go brush my teeth just now... and that's the beauty of punk rock... wait , SLAYER!!!!!!!!!
actually one of the best interviews I seen with him,he covered a lot,been my favorite band for 20fucking years, and their book is amazing I can't put it down,I actually get anxious on the way home from work to read it
It's truly special that this is your own encounter with him. Very cool that he was thoughtful enough to give you this much time of day. I'm just one of those kids that's like "...yeah, man! I was just born when they were brewing Punk in Drublic!" They've been around forever! I really didn't get an idea of who they were until I was in High School...and now they're a HUGE favorite of mine.
Fat Mike got on stage in El Paso, Tx in the early 90's and said he was in a shitty mood cuz he was outta pills. so I gave him a handful of valium after the show. good times
... the show was great btw
Fuckin rad story. Love it
Used to look up to this guy as a kid. Still do.
0768 E. but you used to too
yeah and look how you turned out, a fukn loser.
Mitch !
hahaha right, fuck this band, THEY SUCK
sounds like youre kinda lame then lmao
Great interview. Early NOFX memory for me about eighteen years ago:
I was a teen still living with my parents, but had a job and saved up some money. I drove to a whole different city, bought So Long And Thanks For The Shoes, and Heavy Petting Zoo, and an N64 with Super Mario 64. I played that game and collected literally every single star and secret in that game, and listened to those two albums back to back, over and over again.
Good times. NOFX still rules, and Fat Mike just seems like a legit person to me. Just staying true to himself and fuck whatever anybody else thinks.
Holy shit, that ant farm analogy, I've never thought of it like that. It does make a lot of sense though.
you aint lyin!!
Mind blowing!
Even though you don't thinknyoure trying hard, you have to remember you're lifted. Your lyrics and musicians hip are a blessing on this world. I'm so glad I found you in my youth.(born 1976) mike,... your a profit and a professor. Your band has molded the minds of generations. If the millions who were brainwashed would open their minds, we are ONE!
Sitting at Sonic, waiting for my deliciously shitty breakfast when listening to this through my car's Bluetooth audio. It didn't occur to me that my window was down (I wasn't paying attention when she showed up) and the car hop lady happened to be standing there when he was talking about his mom's porno mag. Ha.
This cracked me up lol
"If you're not in tune, everything sounds bad."
Showww meee what you gooottt.
Not the song "one armed scissor"
Sonic Youth would disagree with that statement ; )
@@jrmarrero96 you are just a boy not a MAN! I bet I have more hair on my chest than you do punk
True, true, true...
I think this is one of the most interesting/illuminating interviews I've ever seen with Fat Mike - would really love to see the whole interview!
Your wish is my command;)

Thank you!
You´re very welcome:)))
I love him, love his attitude towards life
Hepatitis Bathtub is the best book I've read in a while. A modern Please Kill Me, making The Dirt pretty tame in comparison. I have to highly reccomend the audio version, because they each read their own stories, and hearing their emotions paints a beautiful shit show. I grew up with nofx, seeing them countless times and they never get old.
Where can I find the audiobook versions????
@@Matt-ig4yk aRchivE.örg. They like to erase it...
Loving them since the age of 12... 28 years now. Still my favorite band!
One of the best interviews of Fat Mike I've ever bumped into 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I look at Fat Mike as a great artist and I look up to his style of playing. Nofx. Awesome.
This guy and his band are what playing is all about. Their attitude and how they look at their playing makes for the most enjoyment when playing. Ive been in bands where fucks were uptight and over the top, we need to be perfect. Then I was in bands like NOFX and it was so fucking enjoyable and worth all the effort. Fat Mike gets it and so does his bandmates. The fun those fuckers have is infectious. I'd chop off a nut to play a set with these guys.
That "whatever" at the end looked like the interviewer disagreed with his statement. Lol
Nah, he just realised he's "rambling on" to some moron who doesn't really give a fuck.
Ya know, the very people people he says are boring 😴 🙄 😆
he realized the amount of fucked up shit he was saying, and tried to back off 🤣🤣
last 30 secs of the interview are GOLD
Fat Mike is such rad dude
If you enjoyed this interview please follow me on youtube and instagram so I can continue doing what I love :) instagram.com/sara.kelly.husain/
Thank you for posting this.
He should be the president.
Edward F. Pignataro IV Fat Mike 2020.
There should be no president
Ive always liked NOFX, but he is not the first guy i would take advice from
Yea first wpuld be Mike Ness from Social D, then Lars.from Rancid , maybe Henry Rollins,then Fat Mike
I think this is my favorite Fat Mike interview
I saw Reagan Youth a few years back at a place called the BAR in New Haven and there was 30 drunk people there too.
Fat Mike = Cartman
Richard Koning totally
He's not a complete dipwad though. He's still a jerk but he's a good person.
toma tu like
Nah. Mike is Jewish.
that's the spirit, true talking
I'd love to have a beer with Fat Mike and listen to all his crazy stories.
His candor is really refreshing.
Fat Mike is great. Talking, joking,singing, performing. I love this man
Great Stories! I'll have ask my friend if we ever saw them. The place we used to go to was $10 a show with 4 or 5 bands. I saw Murphy's Law, Plasmatics, Dead Kennedy's, Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, Venom, And Ramones , Motorhead!
I like this guy! He is autentic and he gets his feet on the ground.
I love NOFX
I saw them back then, loved the show. Want to see them again wiiiii
I’ve been a NOFX fan since 1992!!
Just getting in to Nofx slowly but seeing this video, I fucking love this guy
I have his bass guitar that he normally used. it's bad ass
Gordo Mike cada día te quiero mas. Come back to Argentina soon
Fat Mike is the only artist that wrote better music when sober
2015 fat mike "my daughters can never read this book"
2021 fat mike "thats me when im walking with my kid when she tells me that she knows everything i did cause she just finished reading the book"
What did he say about Ben weasel in the book
What the fuck
What the hell
Why does she feel the need to tell me?
gotta love them
I've known about NOFX for more than a decade but never knew how cool fat mike is
love ya Fat MIke. if your ever in NOrth Hollywood burbank are look for me. im the guy skating around playing my acoustic.
Fat Mike is cool as hell! I met him in 1999 and he was cool to me. But my friend who had bleached hair tried to talk to him a bit after me got called a poser and was asked to let Fat Mike know how it felt to be a boy-band reject.
fat mike rules, nofx's new book is fucking amazing, nofx fans should all check it out!

You´re very welcome:)
I saw NoFX at Red rocks but my favorite show was when I took my kids and you guys were on tour with bad religion the only thing that bought me out about the concert was the fact that my son enjoyed 303 more. But it was because he was proud to chant 303 Colorado
FatMike punk rock is not dead dude! 🤘
Monday is my favorite time of year.
whats the name of the book????
The hepatitis bathtub and other stories;)
The whole interview, please! :)

I can't believe Nofx has been around for 32 years damn
And this is why I love Fat Mike!!!!!
Sick. Keep the punk aliveee
Love these guys
Get Dead is the best punk band on the planet right now.
The first 60 sec says everything if you play Punk rock or anything
my first nofx song i ecognized was kill all the white man, even sm airlines or heavy pettin zoo was my first lp
I think Tom Delonge once said what impressed him most was going to an NOFX concert and seeing how they just do whatever and that there are no rules.
Why would you not upload the full interview now?
Fat Mike should be a stand up comedian
Seen NOFX Many times. Love them😀
i love mike
This is so good
love them. i like their new album :Single album
Awesome book, awesome band!

sehr gutes und gut geschnittenes interview. komprimiert, no bullshit, super
Danke:))))
Same shit happened to me. Four bags of blow. Got pulled over. Swallowed them. Got let go. Went home, put the stopper in the sink and puked until all four of em came out. Banged all four bags and listened to NOFX until the downers came. Back in the day of course.
Fat Mike is a Hero! When you make that much money and still have bad teeth! He is what he is! And never wil change! He's a Hero!
I'm interested in the way he holds the mic... my hypothesis: too much brandy or too much cigars... or both :)
coke
That ant part really made me think.
I fucking love this man...
Always loved nofx
Back when I was a teenager, I remember having friends who used what little money they had to go see NOFX (They did seem to make a point of tickets being relatively affordable in comparaison to other bands so I'll give them points for that) and that ended up being kind of sad that their favourite band ended up not playing good and not looking like they cared about it....Meh, some of them reacted by saying "Well, it's NOFX, that's what you were supposed to expect" ........I suppose both reactions are legitimate.
A bit weird when the questions are cut off, it feels like his just going on a rant about random shit that pops up in his mind...
I know but the station didn´t want the interviewer in the picture;( They´ve changed that now luckily. Here is the whole interview where you can hear my questions a tiny bit;) ua-cam.com/video/6zJLY8P_G_c/v-deo.html
It would've been hilarious if he was progressively getting drunker with each question.
6:19 Mike nails it. Nobody knows. Nobody can ever know. Why not just embrace your neighbor and enjoy our time on this planet instead of throwing shrapnel at them. Peace.
loved the book parts toward the end fucked me up a lil it gets real, real fast, "im a duck quack quack"😂
''live a wonderful life, live it on the edge... whatever''
I feel like every time he gives a interview he does at least a ball of blow before the cameras start rolling
Fuckin great interview! Probably because I didnt hear the questions asked and didnt need to. Fat Mike for President. Even though he would never do it.
"you don't have to be good, you just have to have good songs"
Lol fuck he's been playin in the snow here! Chatty as lol
Which band he signed and kick they off from the label ?
Boy im glad hes sober. The wheels were falling off
ALWAYS ON TUNE!
Oh I’m getting this book shiiiiiiiiiiiit❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hahaha he has morals! That's a good one Mike.
***** haha that's pretty funny about the capitalist but that's good for mike, so he has a plus one. Now let's talk about sexual morality, treating others(bands and concert goers) , drugs etc, he's bankrupt on those. Maybe he got his morals from his mother which wasn't his complete fault when he was younger but as an adult it's on him.
+Anna Molly haha so do you eat poison mushrooms, they're natural ? I also don't buy into the "don't judge" bologna because it's always the guilty people that pull that card, as far as the NRA goes i would bet there are more NRA members who have more restraint from killing somebody that the average person. Hey Mike was the one he said he had "morals" so i thought I'd mention a few he didn't have.
***** that's why people are all screwed up because there are no morals in punk. Ive been in the punk scene since 85', i became a Christian in 98' but didn't return to the punk scene until 2005 and i saw everything in a different light amd when i started paying attention to politics it gets even worse! I've always heard these political punk bands preaching against the government yet they support the most pro government power party of the two which is the Democrat party, go figure.
Are you fucking dense? Morality has nothing to do with the punk scene or your religion. You think you didn't have morals until you "gave up" punk to become a fucking Christian? Morality is subjective and there is no inherent meaning to life, thus no "true" morality. Our species - through our consciousness - create our own values and determine a meaning for our own lives because we do not possess any inherent identity or natural values. Those values and how you identify your own morality is just something you create to justify some sort of "significance" to life when there is none. Existence precedes essence... it's that simple.
And don't even get me fucking started on your middle school understanding of how politics work. Some advice? Give up Christianity and read up on Existentialism and perhaps Anarcho-Socialism.
So you create your own "morals" to fit your needs? So you are like those antifa punks huh?
nice video..thanks for uploading
thx and you´re very welcome:)
