NOFX - England - June 2012 - Oh yeah

[Rob Boardman]

Gutted I couldn't make Manchester last night. What did they play from punk in drublic?

From my very hazy memory:

Linoleum
Leave It Alone
Quass/Dying Degree
Perfect Government
Fleas
Reeko

I think at recent shows they have played most of the album. Heard all those songs live before but it was still cool. Overall a really, really great show. The highlights for me were Herojuana & Insulted by Germans. Probably the best setlist I've seen them play in the 6 or 7 times I've seen them.

[pandasman]

Hey guys , anyone have any idea what time Nofx will be coming on tomorrow?

[Steve16]

I enjoyed them in Leeds, my only complaint was there was too many of the bollocks songs like Eat The Meek. Much prefer the faster stuff. There probably wasn't that many of them really but they all seem to last for ages.

They really need to start throwing people out after more than one crowd surf as well. Far too many fat cunts repeatedly going for a surf and ruining everyone elses enjoyment.

When did punk-rock become so safe?

I really enjoyed the Manchester show There was a great pit and the Ritz is a really intimate venue, and the spring loaded dancefloor added to the pit fun. A good and varied set list.

Ditto with previous comment re: Insulted by Germans - great tune! As if they played Arming the proletariat too...

By the time of the Leeds show came around the novelty had worn off and I didn't enjoy it as much - I only noticed three different songs, Billy Cobin, Green Corn, and Liza & Louise. I'm used to a better song rotation from that band. Mike was in a more whiney mood as well, I can't believe he lambasted a fan for giving him free drugs.

Snuff were great both nights, at their best. Kudos for the Leeds fans for getting a conga going during Soul Limbo - old school!

Alright dad.

So excited for today never seen NOFX or snuff and LTJ are one of my favourite bands, but the enjoyment of all bands sets relies solely on setlists, as they all have a bunch of crappy songs, but it should rule and I really hope NOFX play the decline.

[snot90210]

last night was spot on, awesome show

[jonny]

Yeah, it was superb, probably the most fun gig I've been to in a while. Less Than Jake were a little underwhelming, and quite quiet (especially compared to Snuff), but NoFX were fantastic.
Frank Turner's cameo appearence was a nice surprise too.

[Oh, Nihilism!]

Leeds was my first time for me seeing them in 12 years I think. Really enjoyed the set, and it was great to hear Liza and Louise. I think there was a really good balance of material and the set was nice a varied. Snuff were, as usual, also brilliant. Didn't catch either of the bands beforehand, but then I'm not a fan of either anyway. I hope they come back soon and tour that new album. I really can't wait to see them again.

[Nikos_Ramone]

I went to both nights at Shepherds Bush.

the sunday was a little better in my opinion. Fat Mike seemed a lot happier (the drugs kicked in earlier, this time), and it was great to see Snuff. I've never liked Less Than Jake, but they didn't sound too bad.

was great to hear them play Soul Doubt last night.

I figured it would have made more sense not to play a Frank Turner cover and play a NOFX song (the band I paid to see), but it's their show, so they can do what they want I guess, I'd have much rather that they didn't.

what frank turner song did they cover?

I'm pretty sure they only did it coz he was there, theyre mates and it would be a laugh and it was, I thought it was a great little bonus

what frank turner song did they cover?

Glory Hallelujah

yeah, I get that - I just personally don't like Frank Turner. I'd never pay to see him, so I don't really want him cutting on a band I paid to see. I know a lot of the bands I like are friends with him, i just find his music and 'message' to be a bit...false.

Also thought it was a bit dickish of Fat Mike to give some kid shit on saturday for wearing a Billy Talent shirt, but I guess that's all part of NOFX's 'thing' right?!

don't get me wrong, I lvoed the show, I just wish they didn't have to pull off the whole ''let's be really rude to people'' gimmick.

[Peter]

this is the first tour that I havent seen them on, I was going to go but last tour I thought it was getting slightly stale for me, I have seen them countless times and so thought I would give it a tour off. I think I am glad I did as I regret it and am really looking forward to the next tour. I basically had nofx live show fatigue.

[snot90210]

that "being rude to people" I find hilarious, I just kinda expect it as would everyone else I would have thought..?

doesn't make it ok though, does it?!

Why the hell should people have to worry about what they're wearing at a 'punk show'?! just in case the singer of the band, who's pissed off because the MDMA he bought hasn't kicked in, starts picking on you because of it? yeah mate, up the punx.

I like NOFX, they're a good band, I just get a bit pissed off with Fat Mike thinking he's some form of punk God.

i dont see it that way at all! its just banter, like me and my mates ripping on each other... if you are offended by it then fair enough but I am pretty sure you are one of a small minority that is

last night, the kids in ty-dye who pocketed £50 to have his hair cut off, the security, none of them seemed to have a problem with it...

I also dont get the impression Mike thinks of himself like that, obviously I dont know him, never met him, he just comes across like someone on stage doing what he loves to do and having a laugh...

i think the kids in tie-dye had a problem when he offered them 20 quid to leave the show...I think one of the kids gave him the finger, rightly so.

Don't get me wrong, I get the whole ''i'm being offensive to be funny, fucking hell, I'm outrageous'' thing. I'm not saying I'm outraged by it or anything (watch old FEAR and Germs videos, they do it WAY better), I just don't find it funny, or see it as in any way neccessary.

I went to hear some music, not listen to Fat Mike attempt to be funny, or bang on about what drugs he's taking.

all in all, the music they played sounded good.

[snot90210]

everyone was giving him the finger... it became a running joke didnt it?

also, do you really believe he was on any drugs at all? I'm pretty sure that was all tongue in cheek no??

musically, I thought they were spot on, really good, great song choices too

[Danph]

why the fuck would fat mike need to joke about using drugs? he's fucked at every single gig, isn't he?

[BennytheBigDog]

I don't think I've been to a NOFX gig where he's not went on at length about his drugs or drink of choice for the night. It's kinda their shtick.

[sam k]

Cheer up Nikos!

Less than jake setlist was the best, really looking forward to their headline show in Brighton. Snuff and NOFX ruled too.

[simonbutler21]

Watching the Tv show/DVD i'd say yes he is.

[peanutuk]

Great gig last night , the sound for NOFX & Snuff was great but Less Than Jake had a really shitty sound i thought !

Melvin needs to do a solo accordion tour ....

I was pretty sure he didn't actually give the kid the dosh, did he? Felt bad for them but it was a bit funny. Schadenfreude!

Nah, I'm pretty sure I saw him pocket it
