NOFX holds press conference in China

Contributed by kill_whitey. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 1:30 PM (EDT)

NOFX recently held a press conference to coincide with their first ever visit to China last week. The interviewers spoke with the bands on the bill, as well as obtained some footage including Mike promising to start bootlegging Chinese bands as well as the band's "tourism" plans which apparently include a visit to an S&M club.

Why are you guys so late on posting stuff. Do you just go to other sites and copy what they post? This was on the Fat wreck Chords web site yesterday.

I agree. One day late on NOFX news. Rally tomorrow at the White House at 11am followed by a march to shut this site down.

facetofacereunion08 (April 17, 2007)

haha good call...plus punknews.org consolidates news from everywhere. most of the stuff they post is not first hand news.

Citizen_Crack (April 17, 2007)

yeah, but would you rather know all the shit they post one day earlier and have to go to 20 different websites or would you rather just come here and read it all in one place. kwitcherbitchin.

haha i reference the critic all the time (often that bit at shows if i'm selling merch). it is truely a shame that few people have seen/remember that show. thank god for tv on dvd.

Someone (April 17, 2007)

I heard they wont carry the DVDs any more after the manager at Brentano's shot himself.

Someone (April 17, 2007)

jesus christ...quit spamming every thread douchebag

Someone (April 17, 2007)

I fully support any spamming done by the good people at Linoleum Magazine. They make the person above me look like a rancid baboon placenta and I just can't value the demands and opinions of a rancid baboon placenta.

Yeah my 'undefined relationship' has been in China for a year now. She says people there are generally more happy attributed mostly I'd imagine to the laid back yet prideful work ethic she describes. She was also scared shitless when land pirates busted into a bar she was in and killed a guy, but hey, that's pretty tame compared to Detroit or something right?

Someone (April 17, 2007)

You're stupid.

JayTee (April 17, 2007)

Taco.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

Your "undefined relationship" hey... hahaha.... yeah. You're a fucking retard.

Would you like to elaborate?

I agree, NOFX is my favorite band and I'm pretty excited to see their documentary when it's finished. They have so much footage that's dvd worthy as well, enough to fill multiple discs I'm sure.

Someone (April 17, 2007)

I might be on it!

Citizen_Crack (April 17, 2007)

someone might be on it? I'd hope so.

Someone (April 17, 2007)

Not usually but in China it can be. You just have to shout "Free Tibet!" or "Taiwan Rules!"

It's funny...I bet all you haters have at least 8 Nofx or Against Me! songs in your Limewire library. Shut up and get a job . Your just pissed because more than 10 people like something you do. Shut up.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

actually I have 0, yea count them, 1 2 3 4 5 6 !ZERO! from either band. sooooo suck my balls.

Citizen_Crack (April 17, 2007)

ps. Dane Cook is not that funny.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

You didn't even have to say "that".

Someone (April 18, 2007)

It's funny...I bet all you haters have at least 8 Dane Cook stand-ups in your Limewire library. Shut up and get a job . Your just pissed because more than 10 people like something you do.

Citizen_Crack (April 21, 2007)

didn't someone else (or possibly the same person) say the same thing when someone said "this band sucks"? I don't care how many people like the same thing as me, I just happen to have an opinion.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

bootlegging chinese bands
hilarious. fat mike can be controversial, but he's still pretty funny. almost as funny as the singer for Horse the Band

Someone (April 18, 2007)

i don't like nofx because fat mike gets pedicures. there was a candid picture of him getting one on their website. i loved the song shower days, and his excessive behavior shows how far removed he is from when nofx's was young and good. also, fat wreck has made mike millions and that jew deserves to choke in the pits of Auschwitz.

how dare you imply that it's acceptable to commercialize punk at the expense of joe public.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

You fucking anti-semite.... Get the hell out of here

Someone (April 18, 2007)

fuck you i aint anti-sematic. mike wanted to use "kike" in an album cover, so that gives me the right to wish his death in a gas chamber. it's only fair.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

tom gabel?

Someone (April 19, 2007)

...is in a great band!

FuckYouOiOiOi (April 18, 2007)

can't wait for this dvd and for them to tour the states again. also, i heard their making another live album.

greatest punk band around.

Someone (April 18, 2007)

shut up fat mike.

and keep your shirt on

Jon_the_Skafather (April 18, 2007)

Someone (April 18, 2007)
