Don't forget Bomber was also an incredible drummer. Little Joe was from another planet. RKL's "epicness" still reigns. Laugh at the world and the world laughs with you....
As well as singer and could play keyboard. Dude was a genius
i think Joe is one of the best bass players in punk rock, great style
I jammed with Joe once at a buddy’s house. Joe on the gitbox and I jumped behind the skins. Nice guy. One of my good friends is super tight with him and makes his straps for Lagwagon and some other Fat Wreck bands.
Joe is just an all around good musician.
I love that Lagwagon is now all RKL.
Even Joey was supposed to be in rkl
Rags to Riches is such a great album... Fuckin wish Jason Sears and Bomber were still kickin..
I love the look on peoples faces when they realize this. Ha!
Miss RKL. Riches to Rags.
Lagwagon and RKL sound so different, and I love both bands.
Blocked Out is my favorite RKL song. Fat Mike isn't kidding, look up that live performance. Those guys pretty much set the standard for punk rock musicianship.
And Joe Was 17 yrs old on that tour!!!
Rock'n roll nightmare is an incredible album
RKL in my opinion is the most underrated band in Punk Rock. The musicianship is unbelievable. Totally set the standard for what was to come.
I saw RKL several times in Los Angeles as a juvenile delinquent. Break The Camel's Back was one that stood out from their live performances.
@@unclefoiley819 sounds like a punk band that listened to Rush lol
I agree, Growing up in SB area they were always my favorite band. RKL are legend. I would say to this day RKL still hold the record for biggest mosh pit at the Red barn followed by the Corruptors from Lompoc Ca. in second place. My old band never got a chance to play live with RKL we did play a show with NOFX way back in 1987
They used to be rated where they should be, but have somehow became forgotten
Easily the most underrated. Never understood how punk documentaries would always say punk had died until Bad Religion’s Suffer came out, when the RKL guys were absolutely killing it right around that time. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t around at that time (born in the 90s), but I find myself listening to RnR Nightmare way more than Suffer, and other punk albums around that time.
To this day, I don’t know a single band that sounds like RKL. Even Lagwagon doesn’t really sound like them despite being made up of their members. I don’t know, man. They were unreal.
I love how proud he is of that Fat Mike Pick
My band Fatal first real show in 1986 was with RKL, the Melvin's and Christ on Parade!! At the time we were a thrash metal cover band and really had no business being on a bill that included these titans of punk rock. Unfortunately the culture clash of a bunch of metal heads and punks turned into a brutal riot, which broke out right after our drummer and I went to get a hotel room for an after-party. I regret that I wasn't there because I may have been able to stop it. Anyway, after that show we became a band that wrote all our own music because of the inspiration of seeing all these incredible bands doing their own stuff. Rip Jason and Bomer, you guys were incredible!!!!
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing
Sick!!!! NOFX and RKL are amazing
Joe Raposo, Barry Ward, Chris Rest, Bomer... such a great musicians! And Jason ... such a great lyricist...
Great memories bro. Grew up skating and hanging with Bomber and Chris Rest and the crew. Love your breakdown.
Keep practicing Mike 💪💪
Awesome video! I love that bass
NOFX & RKL are soundtracks to my misspent youth.
That was awesome Mike!
RKL was on another planet as far as talent goes. A band that in my teen years really got me into HC/Punk. I was always puzzled as to why they were never more famous then I learned about all the dysfunction/ self-destructive stuff. A band that is the top of the mountain and prob will never be equalled.
Man I loved rkl kinda forgot about them, thanks fat mike!
These 200 notes on bass are for Bomber..
Listen to RKL, best advice ever.
thats awesome
Nothing touches RKL, or Bomers “The Other” band. With Boz & Rich. The musicianship on that record is like nothing else. Boz is nutty. All those guys are on a different level of punk rock jamz. So glad we have Lagwagon today still. Keeping it all alive! Leon, Flip, Bubbles, Da⚡️ve, Caper, Derrick,Jason, Barry, and the MASTER Bomer. All my heros 🏁🤙🏻💪🏻
Yeah the Other. I was in the Real McKenzies when Little Joe was in the band. Little trivia for ya, we also had Boz playing drums for about a year. Say what you want about the McKenzies, there was a level of musicianship that could've gone a lot farther if , well I'll say it, we had a singer who gave a shit. Biggest disappointment of my life, not including my useless penis.
@@markboland8197 I’ve subbed to you Bone……only because of the useless penis though
I played with Lagwagon and RKL once in Sac. Excellent band RKL! Then later we opened for Propagandhi, Face to Face, and Lagwagon on at the same venue...
Fun fact: Face to Face's bass player is the older brother of Chris Shifflet from the Foo Fighters.
I was at that show. Any chance you know the date and venue? A flyer image would be GRAND! I'm Getting old and the memory is fading. Seen RKL 5 or 6 times and wanting to have the dates, locations and possible flyers all on lockdown. Thanks
@@ripperplaysclon152 and chris played in NUFAN before joining the Foo's
@@Daniel19gsand the gimmie gimmies
I will always listen to RKL! Always.
Bomer was great and Lil‘ Joe was just mindblowing to me.
And yes I started playing bass for just the same reason as you did, Mike.
Lived with Jason Sears near SDSU for awhile. Great crazy times...
Little Joe was also in the Dwarves for a second. I had the pleasure of playing with him on a couple tours. Incredible player and dude.
Dope
GREAT BASS PLAYER!!!!
I’m still waiting for the nofx rig rundown
RKL forever
Mike!!!!!!!!
Bomber was amazing.
Really tho, the first time I saw someone playing fast bass with a pic was Rory Gallagher's Band's bassist, like messing with the kid. It's good to see RKL, my favorite band, getting some respect now a days tho, even if it is from fat mike.
still even the bassist in Rory gallagher didn't go off like Joe or Bomer
I grew up around all these bands. Ran into them, hung out a bit. Saw all of them back in the mid eighties at pizza places and small clubs, parties. Neck deep in the punk scene was my youth in the Bay Area, CA. Best time and place to grow up ever.
I'm as good as fat mike playing the first part of this bass line, up until 1:09
RKL!!!!!!!!!
ya mike
What bass is he using I know it's a fender p bass but I've never seen that color
antigua finish
RKL is the shit!
Check out Live at the Covered Wagon 2002 for a great version!!!
Damn
This is exactly what the new Nofx lacks.
yeah, that and production that doesn't suck the absolute living life out of the band. ah well, make way for the new acts.
The musicianship on the latest Nofx songs is far beyond anything they have done in the past. Just because the songs are straight forward garage-punk crap doesn't mean the songs suck. I hate the gatekeeper part of punk rock. Bands don't have to sound like crap to be good. You can have glossy production and still be awesome. I don't want to listen to Lo-Fi garbage anymore.
They should get Joe from RKL and Lagwagon to do this, great bassist.
They just did Sargasm with Tony from Municipal Waste a few months ago.
The 2nd RKL bass line Fat Mike played sounds a lot the beginning of The Death of John Smith.
FAT MIKE why don’t you play fender basses LIVE? But I agree RKL is a GREAT PUNK ROCK BAND that doesn’t get a lot of credit!
Too heavy, bad back.
@@dominou01 exactly. Fat Mike plays a danelctro bass made from Masonite (peg board) when he plays live now. I own a danelctro as well and it's seriously lighter than my baritone ukulele or even my thin line tele. I prefer the sound of my stingray bass, but playing it standing hurts after 30-40 minutes. Danelctro is a solid and comfortable stage instrument
Fat Mike on his bass lines video :"Play lightly"
Also fat mike 2:31:
I actually have a pick from NOFX and it’s yellow & has the anarchy symbol on one side and a chik in leather on the other side.
It’s definitely not pink! Lol 😅
RAD
Is that a mid 70s cbs era pbass?
yeah it looks like a late 70's
People try buy nobody can seem to match 17 yr old Joe from that RKL BLOCKED OUT live video. Fatty does it some justice tho!
1:57 No Steve Harris can't play that fast, but Billy Sheehan can, he doesnt need a pick!
Take that advice and listen to RKL.
Riches to Rags is *chefs kiss*
Aguante el gordo Miguel!
Why does fat mike look like a punk rock version of bruce cambell from bubba hotep.
Same way he started with the band is the same way I started twinsies lol. Not really but baf
Although little joe was a shredder I thought Bomer had written that bass past
bomber played bass on rnr nightmare and wrote the basslines but lil joe played them amazingly
Ah...I was wondering why Blocked Out had so many listens on Spotify. Now I know why. I guess the normies looked it up after watching this.
I was just here to see him cry about Kathleen Hanna
Rich kids on lsd?
Dude can't even hold a candle to Bomber or Lil' Joe
The last riff you play...is the same as anti flags ...im being watched by the cia
Ya know be for they were prtest in the street with good hair
nope you cant pull it off
This guy was at the Capitol riots. Just sayin.
How about the riots that occurred for months on end last summer that killed hundreds of people and destroyed inner city neighborhoods and minority businesses?? All in the name of “social justice” .......
i highly doubt that
Proof? Just sayin
that's punk rock
No he wasn't. Fat Mike is commie left douche.
Fat Mike isn't fit to lick Mike Dirnt's shoes. That was shocking. It sounded like a guitarist playing bass for the first time ever.
Fat Mike never became a trendy emo wuss.
Does absolutely nothing for me.
