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\'.

Are all of you against Bush?
I was just wondering...I happen to think the
man is dumb and a hypocrite. I mean, he's
against abortion because he thinks it's
murder, but then he turns around and bombs
thousands of people! And why are we fighting
Iraq when it was Afghanistan that attacked
us? Where is Bin Laden again? Oh, we don't
know? We can't find him? hmmm...the only
reason he's after Iraq was because they
were at war with them when his father was in
office and Saddam "tried to kill my
daddy"

| | Bush Sucks i Know | NofxRoxWOASD | Yes, alot of people in the States and most
people not in the States do not like Bush...I
think his war on Iraq is 30% finishing what
his daddy started and 70% oil..remember, hes
from Texas...An interesting book is called
'Bushwacked: Life in George W. Bush's
America' by Molly Ivans..its an
interesting read. As well, it can get a
little heavy at times, but if you are of an
anti-bush mindset, you may enjoy the
writings/lectures of Howard Zinn(the same
Zinn that Fat Mike mentions in
Franco-Unamerican) | Grifter420 | wea are in iraw because saddam was killing
hundreds of thousands of people. his soldiers
would execute children, rape and kill women,
and bury thier bodies in unmarked graves in
the middle of the dessert. do you think we
should have gone to Germany to save the Jews
during WWII? its the same thing. we went to
iraq, because its not a "war on
afghanistan"...its a "war on
terrorism" i hope we go to iran next,
and then n korea. | imkoolnurnot69 | | ripsplop | Noods | | btw im against bush | Noods | Bush is an Asshole
| aaaaaaaaaa123 | | Hail Hitler!!! | greenday123 | | learn german asshole and fuck off | NofxRoxWOASD | | ya he's a dumb sh*t | doodoo11 | bush is a good president. if we had kerry,
this country wouldnt have the right to own
guns anymore, and then we wouldnt be a free
country. bush reacted the the hurricane
faster than any other country in the world
could have. abortion is murder. if you dont
want a kid, keep your legs closed. its a war,
innocents get killed, remebmer 9/11? its
unfortunate, but it happens. nobody is trying
to kill them. we are there to save them. | imkoolnurnot69 | we are not there for oil. oil is something we
get for being there. the gas prices have
nothing to do with a shortage of oil. gas is
expensive because people are greedy and want
more money. | imkoolnurnot69 | bush was the "idiot son of an
as*hoLe>>" | damn-freak05 | bush was the "idiot son of an
as*hoLe>>" | damn-freak05 | bush was the "idiot son of an

He just is so dumb its fun just listen to any
of his speaches and laugh
(Fuckity fuck fuck, Fuckity fuck fuck, look
at frosty go. My verson of frosty the snowman
[trying to be christmasy but suck]) | tacoman | bush is just a dick. i mean come on how har
dcan it be to find one damn guy. i bet we
could take like 1,000 normal people from the
us and find him easy bush just don't know
what the hell hes doing | somedude | | punk sucks balls. | metalCHAINS | i think that a lot of people will disagree
with me but i have a lot of trouble caring
about any of this shit. I am anti war i
don't believe in violence. i think
abortion and gay marriage and anything else
like that should be a personal decision but
in the end my opinion doesn't matter at
all. i am 16. no matter how much i know i can
never make a difference. i just think it's
dumb that people under 18 get so caught up in
this shit because really there is nothing we
can do about it. We might be able to change a
couple minds but i just don't think
that's enough | mirrorinthebathroom | The problem is that Bush is only a figure
head. While the true evil behind this
mechination is all the corporations that are
back the republicans, the same goes to the
democrats unfortunetly. The two even more
evil characters behind Bush Rumsfield and
Cheney. Those motherfuckers gains more
finacial interests with middle east invasion. | kittenslayer | //wea are in iraw because saddam was killing

Thats the problem aye? America helped Saddam
to rise in maintain his power so he can do
all those terrible things. Incase you
don't know, in the 80's Iraq is
America's ally. Your goverment
shamelessly supported Saddam when he invaded
Iran and used chemical weapons against
Iranian soldiers and Kurdish civilians. Your
goverment knows full well what Saddam does
but they won't do anything because Iraq
served US interest at the time. THE ONLY
reason America attacked Iraq now is because
Saddam dared to defy America's wishes and
is a potential threat to Israel. Not to
mention oil interests.
Let me ask you this, How is using radioactive
weapons, napalms and phosphrous rounds in
Iraq helping to liberate the Iraqi people?!
You need to educate yourself kid. | kittenslayer | "he's after Iraq was because they
were at war with them when his father was in
office and Saddam "tried to kill my
daddy"
well please do answer this, if there was a
man who was trying to kill your parents would
you not fight back?
anyway
please, if kerry was president ya know what
would happen?
he would take all the soldiers out of iraq
and then *BOOM* we would have areselves
another 9'11 to have to cry about.
And how do you think the soldiers from are
country feel hearing all this "anti
war blah blah blah butt fat rsuck my
assss" shit.
if you were in the war figthing for the
country wouldnt you want to be encouraged and
praised, or have to here dumb cunts like you
all saying "ohhhh war is bad, yall
should just get outta there".
how about you all go into the war and see
what its like
Its alot easyer to talk shit about it then
actually be in it.
you all are just a whole bunch of chicken
shits, youd be crying to your mommys
everynight. | Ray_Toros_Afro | oh yes and BTW i think abortion should be
legal because people do desevre to have a
choice ya know, who gives a fuck if they have
there legs open 24/4 who cares, & what do you
have to say about rape victims who get
pregnate by the person who rape them,
shouldnt they get a choice? it wasnt there
fault, If YOU were raped and got pregnate and
you were a minor wouldnt you want to have a
choice to get rid of the baby or not, And
dont pull that Bullshit saying "Noo i
would keep the baby"
yea keep the baby and ruin your school status
and personal life, and life itself. | Ray_Toros_Afro | The person who started doesn't know what
he/she is talking about. This really pisses
me off. Everybody is so quick to jump on the
"fuck you Bush" band wagon,
when they really don't know what the hell
is going on.
"I mean, he's
against abortion because he thinks it's
murder, but then he turns around and bombs
thousands of people!"
What are you talking about? Fill me in on
these bombings. I must be ignorant.
"And why are we fighting
Iraq when it was Afghanistan that attacked
us?"
You are so stupid. Do me a favor and watch
the news and read the newspaper. You really
have no idea whats going on.
"Where is Bin Laden again? Oh, we
don't
know? We can't find him? hmmm...the only
reason he's after Iraq was because they
were at war with them when his father was in
office and Saddam "tried to kill my
daddy"
So this is what you are telling me- You hate
Bush because you don't know shit about
what's going on.
