Nofx

joenailface

im just starting this post to find out if its just me or do nofx completely suck now, i mean for example 'the marxist brothers' is a blatent mix between london calling and bottles to the ground, seeing double at the triple rock is poor at best for them. altogther i just feel that theyve got way too whiney and preachy, i mean im all for political punk (good riddance being one of my favorite bands) but nofx have taken it to another level, they released a song called 'your wrong' which basically tells you to think of yourself as a moron if you believe anything he thinks is wrong, which is just as supremist and up your own ass as the politicians they are bitching about, if they come to ireland im going to be very tempted to boycott it this time (unless the swingin utters come back) and i rambled like this just to get everyone elses opinion

New album is ****e.

Anarchist

They were never good in the first place.

ANarcho-Munk

The first album was pretty good, they turned kinda ****e after it though. You might actually like that one Anarchist.

ferdi

i lurve them, but the new album seems to be piss poor...i'm sure a few of the songs will grow on me.
if they come here again i'll deffo go and see them though

Ro: maaan!

USA hole.


Like the name. That's about it so far.

Asmodean

Yeah I agree. I thought ' youre wrong' was completely self important on their part. I think their new material is a bit too well polished IMO. They seem to have lost a lot of their rawness in the last number of years.
As to them coming back I'm not sure that they will. Mike wasnt too impressed with people spitting at him last time they played here. That was a bit unfair though.

Always thought it was just Americanised sounding crap along with Rancid, Pennywise and a few others.

joenailface

yea hes always moaning about people spitting on him at gigs, maybe if he didnt moan about it so much they wouldnt do it ****ing hell lars frederiksen got hit in the face with a shoe in nottingham and just said 'that was uncalled for, oh well' and kept playing, yea they really went downhill after pump up the valuum (not that its that great either) i just dont get it, it was a big 8 year winning streak from white thrash to the decline...kinda ironic

Asmodean

Well if someone was spitting at me I'd be pissed off too! Its just not a cool thing to do
Yeah I agree, the decline was their last admirable piece of work

Jello

Why do they spit at him...........?
And why would you bother to go to a gig to spit at the lead singer?

Fully aware of that but should have phrased it differently. Anyway i'm just expressing my hatred for **** punk rock.

ferdi

fair dues, i was just expressing my hatred for you.

quaidox

haven't heard the new cd yet, but i must admit, i do like the war on errorism.
the decline is of course a gem.
they have been going ****in yonks, so i'm sure the ideas dry up every now and then !

Jello

Got the new album today...it's OK......not mind blowing ear-orgasmical and not as good as their older stuff.

exiot

I dont the new "album" is an album, its way too short, it has 6 tracks that are about 1 minute long....

Anyway I think they have some good stuff like the decline, the brews, franco unamerican etc..

OLP

It's as much an album as any other, just because it's short doesn't make it not an album, and 1 min songs are deadly, who want's a big 3/4 minute pile of ****e, short snappy and to the point, excellent formula for a song. As for my oppinion on the band, meh, maybe 1/2 songs I can listen to, otherwise, no.

You're thinkin of the EP "Never Trust A Hippy". It was released about a month before this album. The Album's called "Wolves in Wolves' clothing" and has 18 tracks.

Franky Boy

I've been trying to give this album a good chance.But it's turning out to be pretty ****.I like 60%(the song).Most of the other stuff on it is kinda ****e!

Brother To God

New NOFX album sucks just like the last one and the one before that!

nothing, this forum is for harcore punks only, who spend there time telling others what is and is not punk instead of just concentrating on the music and living and let live.

Or maybe this punk discussion forum is for people who are opioniated. But sure, whatever floats your boat etc etc.


Personally I only liked Nofx for a short while,they have a few good songs but nothing that really grabs me balls.

Fat Mike's nasaly voice always puts me off 'em as well though.:o

ferdi

agreed but 90% of the 'discussion' on the forum is on the topic of whether bands are punk enough etc. its bull****.

Asmodean

I agree!! I'm glad someone else around here thinks the same thing. I've become slightly disillusioned with the punk scene as of late. Its completely gone against everything it stood for. It used to be a way of life and and outlet for people to be themselves without judgement from others. Nowadays its completely bull and more of an image than anything else!
"You're only cool if you listen to this band" "You're not hardcore enough so I'm going to look down my nose at you"
It's turning into something that it was never intended to be!

I invaded eirecore with blink 182 and greenday posters tbh

Ro: maaan!

Yea, MY posters!
