q is a magazine show that’s unpredictable in the best sense - proud to be “a wild mix of culture by way of Canada” as described by the New York Times. The Globe & Mail noted the show’s “raging popularity across a variety of platforms -- podcasts, television, websites, satellite radio, terrestrial radio, and occasional live remote broadcasts."
I can't wait till the Smelly movie comes out.
NoFX has been on constant rotation for me since I was in middle school. They never get old. But I sure as hell have.... wish I could go back.
Still one of the greatest bands ever! They were my gateway from Nirvana and into a million punk bands 20 years later! And they still put out sick albums & have great personalities.
Agreed entirely. I got into Green Day in 93-94, but NOFX is the band that really turned me onto Punk, not just a style of music, but an attitude.
I went from Nirvana and grunge bands to then a tape that had NOFX and DK.
There's a good anecdote in the book where Nofx are playing a show in 89 or 90 or so and some Seattle band were supposed to play early on but didn't show, and it was Nirvana.
@@mrbtapir that guy would lost his head if it wasn’t attached
He shot his head off..
So glad these guys are all still here.
It was good to hear from Smelly for once because he's usually in the background and not saying much or being overpowered by fatmike or hefe. He's probably one of the best drummers ever in any music. I've listened to a million punk and metal bands and nobody does the fast punk beat like smelly. He does doubles on the kicks and accents on the hihats rather than straight 1234 like 99% of other punk drummers.
You should read their book. A lot of it is from the point of view of Smelly.
Bobba Fett Hepatitis Bathtub and other stories.
I dont know how he does it. He doesnt have a double pedal either. But I do know that part of the "smelly kick" is also the studio recording. When they mix the songs, they heavily compresses the kick sound, which gives it this really hard punch that makes it stand out so much more than other punk bands.
100%. I spent a good part of my youth trying to emulate Erik Sandin's style. Now that I'm older and actually decent drummer, I can still say that he's one of the greats.
+Grayson Kilmer, you can clearly hear Sandin's double kick on live shows too, he has a great double kick technique. It's not just studio recording.
Smelly is so cool! Adopting a little girl.
seriously finished that book in a day I couldnt put it down. fucking awesome
share with a broke 30 yr old cancer patient addict in remission that will never get to read it? lol.... ill send it back I promise :) jk cant wait to read it someday
+AGM*twinz give me an address and I'll give you my copy! I read it already! Find me on Facebook Facebook.com/figure8punkrock. Send me your address and I'll mail it out!
Figure8PunkRock wow ty soooo much, holy smokes u r awesome
@@209Twinz209 Hopefully your still alive and beat the cancer...But you can find the audio book here on youtube and it's read by the guys in NOFX..They read there chapters cover to cover
This is one of the most well told and simple to follow books I've ever read. I grew up in LA too and know all these spot and what they were like at the time so it really hit hard with me. After reading it, it fells like I watched a movie. I never knew that Smelly and I skated the same ditch "(Forever's"). I bought four more books just as gifts. A must read. Buy it!
Agreed! I'm 47 and lived in Culver City at the time. So yeah, lots of my own memories came back while listening to the audiobook.
@@roymartin500 PLS!
Rock on brother.
*Punk Lives Splatter*
@@roymartin500 I grew up in Culver City too! Not sure if somehow you knew that?!
Culver High School (jumped me and beat me down)
Only thing i learned in high school was *NEVER QUIT!*
(That when I quit high school BTW... ironic ain't it?)
@@maxiepattie85 I didn't hahaha! That was a tough high school on my sister, we moved down to San Diego by the time I was in high school. But, yeah, Every time Mike would mention Suicidals, my mind would wander over to Venice Blv.! Small world!EDIT: That's a rad thing to take away from high school, Never Quit! I like that!
@@roymartin500 "moving violations" was filmed in front of my fathers place on Van Buren. "Under the rainbow" was filmed at Big Ed's down the street. Isn't it fun being old and hearing the kids tell us how it is now.
Mad Love Roy!
Every time Smelly calls Fat Mike buddy, my heart warms up. Good dudes for sure.
I love S&M airlines. And dont let them fool you, there were tons of bands where the lead singer didnt sing in pitch. I dont think that was ever a requirement for punk rock.
The world's most famous, Tim Armstrong. 👍
Pat the Bunny, checking in.
Ramon was the ongoing character that will give you chills.
Just wanted to hear some more of smellys soothing voice
in the audiobook you have t hours of smally talking
Fucking amazing interview. Smelly is a damn good dude, and as much as I love fat mike, smelly is probably my favorite member of the band. I guess cause I have two family members struggling with heroin, hearing his story of addiction and recovery just really resonates with me.
I think Mike suffered from more trauma than he'd like to admit. I respect him.
love that caricature of fat mike.
I think Smelly is WAY heavier.... (drawing wise.... the gap, the focused drive...) Fat is still unwritten...
"NOFX, most improved band of all time". --- fat mike
Bwahaha, so true though, lol.
idk about that lol
Mike is really cleaver with his word play! 😂! It's that cleaver word play that makes the songs really good!
Thoughts and prayers for Mike. Hope he gets healthy. Could hear his pain in his voice.
He's sober right now, working out and doing really good. I saw them recently and Mike sounded the best I've heard him ever.
nice one making Mike look the new Louis van Gaal. Great interview.
I'm glad I found this. Never knew they were capable of this.
You're not alone Smelly. We ALL have a past and have done things we don't want to share publicly. I know what I have done my entire life has been horrible. I too am a recovering addict/alcoholic. I am 100% honest and love each day as it is. (New and exciting) 👍
You guys have been an inspiration to me for decades. Not just because of the music but because of the stories you tell. You can tell that your lyics and songs are written from experience and formed honest opinions. I appreciate NoFx so very much. You guys are a part of me as much as my skin 😉
❤NoFx❤
24:43 smelly's laugh. priceless.
Shad is fucking KILLING it on q
And they're giving him the boot! I say bring back Jian.
I had no idea about all the stuff the guys went through before checking out the book and the personal familiarity I had with one of my favorite bands was an interesting revelation.
Their book was so good. I love how Smelly adopted that little girl 🥺
sweet, love The Dirt, and nofx, can't wait to read!!
I'm about half way through the book, great read
i swear nofx is the most goofiest looking band i love them
waiting on the Biopic!! keep rocking!!
this is great, nofx fucking rules! smelly is a hell of a drummer and fat mike is a hell of a songwriter, cool guys too, this is an amazing interview! the interviewer is excellent as well!
Only just saw this now, great interview
just bought the hepatitis bathtub. its a lot better than listening to interviews! I'm down for interviews... but personal stuff....ehhh I'd rather read about it first hand without someone asking them about it. you guys should defiantly get it. its so relatable.
They should make an audiobook of this and have this be the secret track.
Uh they did make it an audiobook. And they narrate it themselves.
Shaggymatt92 Jacobs I meant, make this the secret track to the bathtub audiobook. I was drunk when I commented initially haha
Haha it's ok man. Its our job to keep punk rock elite...lol
The best bio book ive ever read thanks guys
Funny, I was a trotter too. Well, I guess I still am but without the heroin and cocaine now.
hurry up book get to my house already!!
Great book and great interview.
27:50 Dang man. I have a lot of respect for these guys
31:28 Tried to explain that to my dad in the early 90's and got a fat lip for it.
It was still better back in the day.
This is a great book. And yes. I remember the punk scene back in the day and yes it was dangerous 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Ive been a big NOFX fan for almost 20 years and this is a really good interview... if you are an OG fan or just discovering the band, this interview is definitely a recommended listen... the Hepatitis Bathtub os also one of the best "band/musician biographies" ive ever read... I recommend buying the book for obvious reasons, but if you cant get your hands on a copy, the audiobook is uploaded on tube... check it out for sure
good for fat mike, hopefully he will get and stay sober...he was a hell of a hilarious party dude, but i'm sure he could be just as hilarious as a sober dude!
really great interview. shad is the man.
I love that smelly punk show story
"It already started in the city!!
Suburbia !!!!"
CHEERS, NOT FEARS!!
I'm glad to hear Fat Mike is finally realizing how much drugs he's been doing recently, he's definitely too old to be living like that.
Never really mentioned Hefe , that's not fair ...
I actually thought the most interesting stuff in the book was pre-Hefe, (lthough I'm not yet finished).
Their telling stories way before they even knew El hefe, let alone was in the band...
Funny how the advert before this video was for an exit out of europe. Fat mike for pres! Can we just join the states instead?
I’m glad shad never came back to Q. I don’t know why he was dumb enough to think he’d go get a better job, but hopefully he’s making SOME money
Mike and I will met soon, at AA or hell. You pick brother... I'm in
Well, he's still kicking. Are you?
love it
fat mike likes to boast and perhaps exaggerate about his achievements, but honestly this book is incredible. I wonder how non-nofx fans take it, because it's a total page turner.
Interviewer sucks. He needs to let the interviewees talk about want they want to say and not cut them off.
Stoked! Lol! :P
Let’s throw a barbecue!
These are the least flattering illustrations imaginable. They look like World War II era editorial cartoon propaganda. If I was NOFX I’d sue.
So the whole band knew except Melvin?
Yea, and smelly knew too
,🤣🤣🤣
Just a drummer hanging out with musicians
Creepy mike and stench
Português vc inglês
Ribbed is their best album, and there’s been a few other great ones, but I think they’ve gotten really boring since so long and thanks for all the shoes
In all honesty alot of people would fukin hate Smelly
Ya I have to but this book sounds like me when I was young. Still young 24 am in recovery finally.
Know that huge guy u see at the beach ya that's how easy it is to meet your packy Run or dealer..#reallifeshit
I was a trotter too.
Drugs are good. They give you a feeling like you know you're not should ,and when you do em people think that you're cool!
Who picked this one ? Well it's just not rockin'
their stories seem pretty normal? i think everyone has the same kinda stories
I guess for some preppy Californians this stuff is extreme
Very good point!
read the book! kinda not so normal!! but anyway ... rape, and stuff like that is not my normal thing...!!
Heroin in doses that are not heavy enough to make you nod out act as a stimulant. Is great for work... equally addictive.
Agreed. Lol
the book rules...
I came here to give you your thousandth like. 👍🏾
Someone in a recovery house stole this book from me. I read it though. I lost Jack Grisham s American Demon. My wife got it for me on our anniversary. Jim Lindbergs book was a good book too. It's gone. I have no books.
honest, and highly exaggerated.
Cool stuff
Love you Smelly!!
5 years later hahaa sorry about that
