      1991. Dave died in like 88 or something, then they had someone else for lead, then El Hefe came on board in 1991.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      ***** 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?
