Absolutely. Bunch of privileged little babies who are there to get fucked up and act like frat boys. Anyone who’s actually been through some real shit like the stuff Mike talks about would know enough to shut the fuck up and listen, allow him to let it out. If it got to be too much for anyone, I’m sure the exits were clearly marked.
This man has lived a life full of tragedies but still managed to be the success that he is. Mike has experienced drug and alcohol addiction, lost a lot of friends in life, been divorced, parents divorced as a kid, had a childhood far from normal...I really appreciate how he takes those life experiences and vents out in the form of music, he is truly an artist and I love this man
@christopherryan8732 You aren't alone, neither is Fat Mike. Punk Rock soothed my broken, black soul when it came out in the 70s. I got involved in the underground Punk scene of the 80s & 90s in San Francisco. How I lived til 62 is baffling! I lived fast, as a Punk, didn't die young, go figure...Now I'm old and Punk still soothes this broken, old, fucked up body & blackest heart of mine. 🔥 FTW🔥
For real! I love that you can see the shame and anger and regret in his face and in his demeanor, and despite the crowd acting like a bunch of judgemental twats who are not being receptive to him bearing his soul, he continues to let it out with no filter and no regard for how people might see him after. It was like a confession that he did for himself, for the jaded people who would see it, the people from the stories he told, and just for the sake of being like “har har, cokie the clown is so hilarious right? You think there’s no depth to what I’m up here doing? I’m just making fun of myself for being a mess and it’s all in good fun? Give me a few hours to tell you some of the shit I’ve seen and you will leave changed”
@@christopherryan8732I get it man. I think a lot about how I was not made for this world, whether I’m not strong enough or I’d just be better off if I was straight up stupid. Shit does suck and it’s really hard just to function the way most people do, like I’ll never understand how normal people can do their 9-5 shit every day and be cool with it. Then I see something like this where most people are too shocked or unfamiliar with tragedy to know how to respond and I’m like, “I could talk to Fat Mike for days about these things” idk. I’m not built for life the way most people live it, and I really don’t feel a connection to most people period. But somehow I feel a connection and a sense of understanding for this dude in the clown suit who I’ve never even met, maybe because he definitely doesn’t seem to live the way most people do either, but he’s here. He’s not just living, he’s a success and an icon and a genius who makes art for people like me and you. Keep the faith and keep your head up man, and trust me when I tell you you’re not alone in how you feel.
I can't believe this was almost 10 years ago.... Possibly the greatest punk rock performance of all time. A guy tells stories about doing nothing about witnessing a rape, killing his mom, being indifferent to his father dying, and finishes by making the crowd believing it to be the *all about them*. Fat Mike allowing them to think they drank his piss for a couple of months while saying "I don't know what the big deal is, urine is totally sterile." SXSw was furious about it. Too funny. Completely epic performance. Ecen though it's just Mike, I think this is the peak of NoFX. It is goi g to be pretty hard to ever top this.
Again, Mike talked about that time in the "Hepatitis Bathtub". These assholes have no clue, no do I, but as a human being, I'd want to help her, but as a human being, I'd be looking out for me. The LA Punk scene was brutal and raw...
Fuck yeah it was, I'm old and somehow alive. Damn it. I was supposed to die young. Doesn't always work that way. Punk still soothes my old assed, fucked up, black soul. 💀
People have to realize this isn't a NOFX show, it's his ulter ego, and he gets real as fuck and spills his guts out as Cokie and people should be hanging on his every word, appreciating this, not being disrespectful. Listen to the new Cokie 7 inch. It's the most important, intense unveiling of his personal life. Love you Mike Burkett!
it looks like an experiment from a punk show mixed with the promotion of the NOFX book that came out shortly afterwards. only a visionary genius who really lives and believes the punk culture, could give birth to a similar product that visibly left the crowd displaced. Everybody there to shout and laugh (even) forcibly as if they were at a typical nofx show where , instead , Mike performing is quite totally comic. Pretty touching Mike
In an interview he did, he said after the Cokie album he made (made after this I believe) he only did three shows and then couldn't do it anymore. He said it was terrible album to make and it was just him being fucked up on drugs, doing coke and drinking in a depressed corner. it was him "singing with his skin off" Fat Mike is awesome
If only these "punks" would give a minute to hear what Mike had to say, instead of screaming and WOOOOing. That's the difference between "punks" today and "punks" who somehow were lost in the ether.. Somehow we lost what it was to be human... Now "punks" like screaming and dissonant chords vs. melodic chords that actually made sense. Now the kids that like "punk" music like "CHUG CHUG, dissonant chord, CHUG, THUMP, THUMP... It's like as if Pop Punk took a holiday and now we're left with a whole generation that doesn't understand melody. All they care about is how loud it is. That may make me sound old, but honestly. It's much more generic. Twenty One Pilots are selling tickets for no less than 80 dollars a pop. Seconds of Summer have people writing lyrics for them... I forget the the number, but WHAT THE FUCK?!! NOFX is still putting out great albums. Fat Mike is a FUCKING mastermind. "72 Hookers"? "Secret Society"? That's the way punk should be. Offensive and kind of secret.
Gotta love going to a show. And everybody just yells and shouts shit the whole show. Oh and the guy who has to sing along to every song and sing louder than the actual singer
I didn’t like NOFX in the 90’s. I thought it was silly and immature ,but he’s grown on me through the years and I like the more serious lyrics of my orphan year and this would’ve been a great show to see.
Annoying crowd full of little kids who have obviously never heard about, let alone lived through, anything as “shocking” as what Mike talks about. What kind of punkers are in this crowd? Post Blink 182 mall punks. Came dangerously close to killing the melodic punk scene for bands like NOFX and Face to Face and Bad Religion
Honestly, yeah. I'm guess I'm lucky as a kid who started going to shows in 2008. Since then I've probably been to 200 punk shows, and all of them have been nothing but awesome in terms of the scene. I guess punkers grew up to be chill people
Loud, shouting little mall punks,who go to old reunion "shows" of 30 & 40 yr old Punk bands, have no idea how a hard life works. They still live an easy life at home with mom & dad. Or in the dorm.Soft, sheltered & safe. I'm glad I saw all the great bands when they played bars, warehouses & keggers. Back before the status quo fucks discovered them. I am happy bands still around can earn a living doing what they love! These spoiled brats have no idea what an intimate show should be and need to STFU. And stay OFF MY FUCKING LAWN. If I had one. 🤣🤣😈💀😈
Fat mike pees in a bottle. That bottle is then poured into a tray of shot glasses. He pounds 3 shots himself and passes the rest out to the audience. It was the ones the audience had drank at the beginning of the show.

The most disturbing part is the crowd
Agreed.

NOFX is one of the few punk bands I understand more the older I get
same!
Diddo that bro. By far up there in my personal top bands a crossed all genres of music.
This man has lived a life full of tragedies but still managed to be the success that he is. Mike has experienced drug and alcohol addiction, lost a lot of friends in life, been divorced, parents divorced as a kid, had a childhood far from normal...I really appreciate how he takes those life experiences and vents out in the form of music, he is truly an artist and I love this man
This sounds a lot like my life maybe that’s why I’m depressed

Fuck yeah you got that right
I agree, but knowing Mike I'm starting to think that something He sings may not be totally true...
Can you top the decline?
It was over 10 years ago now, was actually from 2010.
@@thelongorian like what?

No wonder he only did a few shows like this. This crowd is kind of garbage.
You're one of the best people ever. Love ya Fat Mike.
Your real fuckin faNs will always be there.
As another commenter has said, this may be the greatest and most punk rock performance of all time.

Listen to the new Cokie 7 inch. It's the most important, intense unveiling of his personal life. Love you Mike Burkett!
That’s very insightful. You’re absolutely right. Cokie is Mike’s dark side, the Hyde to his Jekyll.
This makes me cry, yet I LOVE this.

I can't believe this was 8 years ago I remember it like it was yesterday
Releases an RKL record in 2022.
In an interview he did, he said after the Cokie album he made (made after this I believe) he only did three shows and then couldn't do it anymore. He said it was terrible album to make and it was just him being fucked up on drugs, doing coke and drinking in a depressed corner. it was him "singing with his skin off" Fat Mike is awesome
Oh my god this show is amazing.
Now i understand the decline more than ever...

"Kind of secret." Fucking perfect.
Hope mikes okay saw his new video negative reel and after watching both that and this i strongly feel someone close to him should make sure he's okay
Me Chinese, me play joke, me put peeper, in your coke!!
That was an intimate show
No wonder he pissed in their drinks
I love my dad. I wish I knew him better.
18:48 guy 1: "i saw someone fuckin' die last night... car accident"
guy 2: "cool"
Gotta love going to a show. And everybody just yells and shouts shit the whole show. Oh and the guy who has to sing along to every song and sing louder than the actual singer
Oh, you mean a punk show?
Almost like Melvin is screaming it.
Live shows aren't for you
Why are people being so fucking judgmental? When if we were faced with these same situations we would probably act similar most of the time. I would.
Righteous!
I wish I could have seen this but after a few shows they all canceled thinking Thierry venues would get shut down thinking someone did that
I didn’t like NOFX in the 90’s. I thought it was silly and immature ,but he’s grown on me through the years and I like the more serious lyrics of my orphan year and this would’ve been a great show to see.
Did anyone ever punch Cokie the Clown in the face after they encountered the squirting flower? 🤣🤣🤣
free drugs can't punch a guy for that :)
This crowd is annoying.
They are. See my post.
Something in the "water" in Texas...
wow that`s about 60% or so

Blink had a few decent records.
It kinda sounds like the crowd was singing along for most parts. Regardless, piss isn’t that great of a drink.
@dalto15 well, not after eating asparagus

What a weird show.
4:46 what is the name of the song?
part of" the decline."
Can someone describe what was on the television at the end?
Fat mike pees in a bottle. That bottle is then poured into a tray of shot glasses. He pounds 3 shots himself and passes the rest out to the audience. It was the ones the audience had drank at the beginning of the show.
Btw, I should add that fat mike stated months later that it was all a prank and switched out the bottle. So nobody really drank piss.
Like si vienes del capitulo de cosas
Sad stories. But Fat Mike is a multi-millionaire now. He can do whatever he wants.
I guess if u believe in evolution...
Boring.
mike i really liked your band in the early 90's
Same with me
