Hi. Ive already written a bio for NOFX which was on the main page. But i could\'ve written a better one, so here it is.
NOFX is one of the most anticipated punkbands in these last few decades. The 3 original band members are; Fat Mike(bass, vocals),Erik Melvin(guitar) and Eric Sandan(drums). They met at the age of 17 at the Cathay de Grande in Hollywood, LA, California, but they are originally from Berkley. They released their first album \'Maximum Rock and Roll\' in 1984, which they didnt even know got released until they saw it in the shops. Also that year they did their first tour over Easter vacation. After playing a lot of shows, In 1986, a guy called Dave joins the band as lead singer, but tragically dies two months later in a car accident. In 1987, another guy called Dave joins the band as lead guitarist, and they release their first popular album, \'Liberal Animation\',in 1988, which sold 1,800 copies its first year. Also that year they did their first European tour. In 1989, the band realised that Dave was more of a fun guy to be around at parties than a guitarist who knew all the NOFX songs. They tried to part with him on friendly terms, but he got angry and insisted he was leaving the band himself. Later that year, a Cucasian named Steve joined the band as lead guitarist, and they release a new album,\'S+M Airlines\', which sold 2,300 copies its first year. After another tour, they release \'Ribbed\' in 1991, which Mike thinks was their \"first descent record\". It sold 13,000 copies in its first year. Also that year, Steve quits the band to start a new band. In 1992, El Hefe joins the band as lead guitarist, and they release an EP,\'The Longest Line\',and later that year, they release \'White tash, two heebs and a bean\', which sold 30,00 copies it\'s first year. In 1994, they release a new album \'Punk In Drublic\' which went half gold. From here on in, their albums sell less everytime(but still an awesome band). In 1996, they release \'Heavy Petting Zoo\'.That year, record store in France shuts down because of the posters associated with this album. In 1997, they release a new album \'So long and thanks for all the shoes\'.Then in 1999, they release the EP,\'The Decline\',which entered the top 200 chart at #200, then dropped out. Then they released another album \'Pump up the Valuum\' in 2000. In 2001, they put out a double record,\'45 or 46 songs that werent good enough to go on our other albums\', which apparently has all their crappy songs. Then in 2002 they do a split record and a tour with Rancid. The following year in 2003, they release a very political album \'The War on Errorism\'. Then in 2004, they are featured on the \'Rock against Bush\' compilation, and they finally release their \'Best Of\' album, \'The Greatest Songs Ever Written\'.

| | yes he can. | NOFX_junkie | | he's not that fat el hefe is fatter that him | GASPATCHO | i think that nofx is overrated and fat mike
has a terrible voice | rancidfreak99 | | same, they're way overrated | reelbigpunk22 | nah nah nah fat mike is a pure genius...and
yes el hefe is fatter than him... | 100_reasons | since we seem to be talking about overrated
bands I think that we should mention RANCID
bum bum bum | gaspatcho | | he can definately rock but hefe is fatter | Tenfold | He's certainly not as fat as Chris from
Bowling For Soup, but he is awesome and he
can definately rock. | therave | | lmaoooo yeah gd point about chris | 100_reasons | hey, rock on fat people everywhere! its not
like its a disabilty(apart from in extreme
cases of course,haha) | punkjackie | Hey, there's nothing wrong with being fat!
Fat Mike was sexy! And he may have been fat
but he could still jump high and rock out a
lot. I love the "Stickin' in my
Eye" video!!! | katiejk85 | Yah man fat mike is the best thirty year old
punkrocker. | NofxRoxWOASD | What I don't understand is how a band can
be overrated or not..Who is doing the rating?
Do you mean NOFX and Rancid arent as good as
people think? Cause if someone, say me,
thinks rancid is awesome, who is anyone to
tell me differently, its my own opinion? And
if im the only one who thinks it well, doesnt
change how i feel about em. And if say,
100million people thought they were awesome,
still wouldn't change how I feel about em.
Do you mean overrated cause people say they
are the best? or because the general
not-so-hardcore-punk rocker always lists
rancid and nofx as their favorite bands?
Well? they're their favorites, dont see
how it makes em overrated | Grifter420 | | good view | NofxRoxWOASD | Shit, this thread is still going? I meant
overrated as in everyone who is anyone says
that they are the greatest thing since ramen,
and when I give them a listen it's just
like..."this is it?" I'm not
saying they're a bad band, I just don't
think they're as great as everyone says
they are. | GASPATCHO | | | |
