I have one of the original 500 eps ever. I saw them in a pizza place 😂. Summer 85. Redwood City, Ca. Pony Express Pizza. Bought the ep for like 5 bucks or something from a skinny, sweaty kid in a van. I forgot about that and it sat in a milk carton of vinyl. A girl I dated turned me on to Liberal Animation and I thought that was cool. I never imagined that this would very soon become my favorite band ever since 92. Going to 5 shows on the last tour including the last 3 in San Pedro. Greatest. Band. Ever. I’m going to try to get Fatty and everybody to sign the ep from 1985. I have a Bro Pass in 2 weeks in Denver. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Saw them in 1985 when this EP was their only release. They were touring with Scared Straight. This was San Antonio, Texas and Marching Plague & Fearless Iranians From Hell were opening. Nobody knew who Scared Straight or NOFX were, so about half the crowd left after the two famous, deeply-loved openers played. I stayed for Scared Straight and NOFX and was blown away by Scared Straight & NOFX were just OK. Their songs were great but the stage presence was lacking.
I wish Brett Gurewitz never changed them from this. Liberal Animation is still my favorite album but this version of 6 pack girls is a million times better than I heard they suck live. Whenever they add a fast hardcore song to one of their albums it's always the best song on the album.
Theres probably hundreds of hardcore punk bands that sound exactly like this. If they didn't change at all they would've just ended up a forgotten footnote.
It's weird because the song "we're in a gang" sounds so much like the band FFF who were a punk gang (Fight For Freedom). I've always wondered if they did that on purpose as a way to make fun of them.
Their new stuff sucks unfortunately . But this and all the mystic recordings up to Liberal Animation is obviously their best work. Mr. Jones on LA is def their finest song imo. This is hardcore punk the way it's supposed to be, even the cover here is their best with the skull and syringe in mouth. Although I have a guilty please for punk in drublic because of teen nostalgia it could never compare to their 80s stuff. You can hear the RKL influence big time which is awesome ofc since rkl was the best band of the 80s hands down.
@@donnix1192 He played on this record, but the picture on the back was on the drummer that took his spot because he quit the band not knowing what he was doing. He got mad after seeing the picture of the drummer who replaced him on the back of it even though he was the one who played on it. The reason he was so good was because he played in Caustic Cause.
I MEAN THAT NOWADAYS I AM A BETTER PERSON MYSELF, MAN! Don´t you just get it? i mean: what is the deal of being a punk. is what i am since i was born. i cannot avoid it, and STILL... NOFX was just trashy, not so punk anyways...
lol yeah...i am almost 40 and i dont get live at all...have a house. kids planed.all to late..maybe,,,fuck systems..fuck trump..nothing will change with em...gets worse...u will see...old band was The Mssing Shadows...check em on myspace...punk on
“You guys straight edge?”. Well,honestly hearing their music at that time,and including a “X” in the name was just enough to be initially (wrongly) labeled as that😄 Makes sense?
What makes it funnier is they got their name off of a straight edge band called "Negative FX". But they called themselves "NoFX" to say they're NOT part of the straight edge movement. Pretty much stands for "No Fucking Straight Edge".
cant stand newer NOFX or most epitaph bands/fat wreck records bands BUT i enjoy all of NOFXs 80s material. i guess i can listen 2 alil of their 1990-1996 stuff, just could never get into "skate punk" bands or whatever the label is/was. please be nice NOFX superfans, just my opinion. im positive yall would HATE most of what i listen too: In/Humanity, Guyana Punch Line, Antischism, Initial State, .fuckingcom, ect ect
El Gaijin, Nofx superfan here, and thanks for being respectful Here! You're correct, I don't listen to your bands, but if you love them, than they are awesome! Same for any music, it's in the ear of the beholder!
I love pretty much all of their stuff. I like Skate Punk until it starts descending into pop-punk and starts singing about whiny irrelevant topics that appeal to teenage girls and boys with relationship issues. I can easily respect bands like NoFX and Pennywise for staying true to the message of punk through their lyrics despite no longer carrying the classic hardcore sound and making it more melodic. As for bands like blink, I could say otherwise.
@@travis8106 I get the reference but you know what's funny? As much as I love NOFX...they actually REALLY do suck live. I remember seeing them in 1999 and was extremely disappointed. Rancid was actually worse though. (Bad Religion was AMAZING)
@@skeetermock When I first heard them, my first thought was "This isn't as heavy as other bands, but they pack far more aggression than those pop-punk bands" ('I wanna be your baby' was the song I was listening to at the time). And then I realized these guys we're ripped off by all those shitty pop bands who sing about girls and high school dance parties and ruined the way people look at their punk style. I can see myself being just as mad as Mike was about blink if I created a new sound variation and people stole it and made it all about whiney wimpy topics that appeal to teenage girls. This band is as "pop" as I let things get. I love NoFX and Propagandhi, but I HATE blink 182 and green day.
Also guitars back then didn't have as much distortion as they did a few years later. The tone is basically cranking up a tube amp really loud to get as much saturation as possible. The rest of it is pretty standard punk guitar work.
Love that artwork.
joey Leverton fuck yeah

Thanks for putting it online because I have the record but no record player anymore
Never heard this! Sounds like adolescents, which I love so this is an old new breath of fresh air! Sounds great to me! Wish I had the album!
Their best songs, in my opinion.
wtf lol
It's just missing the good version of Hold It Back. The one that's a lot faster
@@coryleblanc noob
Favorite nofx release
Wonderful
oh... Six Pack Girl just in Time flashing tune !

They early stuff is good but lack of personality. Sounds like everything else. When they melodic stuff started It got better
That line up sounds fucking awesome. I live in SA. FIFH is the worlds greatest band.
@@ValleyJeff84 F****** right they are the best band ever I have 3T shirts of them still
My man.
You know.

Mike was hungry in those daze now he just looks fed up
He looks fed all right

NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE!! 9:46 Tell me this doesn’t sound like Rusty Cage from Soundgarden. At least for a few seconds 😂
OG's of US punk..... love it

Smelly was already a pretty badass drummer!
He carried the band in the early days lol
Did Erik record this, because I know he was an original member but left 84/85 and Scott Sellers and Scott Aldahl drummed until he returned
@@donnix1192 do you mean scott sellers vocalist from rufio..?!
@@andhikakrisma7425 No, same name different guy, he played drums for NOFX in 1985/86

Same here, I don’t really a fan of all the Epitaph Skate Punk that we had in the 90s but I love 80s NOFX and 90s AFI.

How could people think this was bad. They probably sucked live
They’ve actually gotten worse live
@@travis8106 yeah that’s true I’ve heard they suck live
@@travis8106 I get the reference but you know what's funny? As much as I love NOFX...they actually REALLY do suck live. I remember seeing them in 1999 and was extremely disappointed. Rancid was actually worse though. (Bad Religion was AMAZING)
People who discovered them as pop punk probably came to this and hated it

This band is as "pop" as I let things get.
I love NoFX and Propagandhi, but I HATE blink 182 and green day.
I can't stand NOFX's 90s stuff, so this is actually pretty awesome
Their newest album is AMAZING though. They went pretty dark as of late!
I like this better than what their sound ended up sounding like
@@matthewramey5677 wtf, ribbed, white trash and PID are the best
how does one get a guitar to sound like this
Alot of distortion use s tube amp like vox, let the tubes get hot as fuck, but mostly distortion pedals and fx
Throw your tuner out the window learn a couple of power cords or not up to you really turn distortion all the way up. Oh and play fast
Also guitars back then didn't have as much distortion as they did a few years later. The tone is basically cranking up a tube amp really loud to get as much saturation as possible. The rest of it is pretty standard punk guitar work.
Hc punk
Who did that art? Better than the band!
7:58
Youth Brigade rip off.
Punk is Free
back in those days all punkbands were inspired by eachother, a lot of bands kinda sounded the same.
@@mcbrewAgreed. The 80s hardcore scene was very cookie cutter. So my select few from this era are NoFX, Rudimentary Peni, RKL, and Reagan Youth.
Thx
