Here's the deal--
If you didn't know NOFX prior to 1992, then you simply missed all the fun. Before they became huge untouchable rock stars, these were the coolest, funnest guys you'd ever have crashing on your living room floor.
Before the tattoos and dreadlocks,
before bouncers, rent-a-cop security guys and $50 tickets,
before Mike was 'Fat Mike' and before 'Fat Wreck Chords',
before the big fancy tour buses,
before they polluted their music with political ignorance,
and before the short fat guitar guy,
there was Mike, Eric, Erik, Steve and Dave in this collection of personal photos:
- playing shows for 10 people
- shooting pool
- posing for the 'Ribbed' album sleeve photo in Mike's bedroom(3 of the b/w shots they didn't use)
- chilling on a boat
- playing in my backyard in 1985
- one of their very first gigs with Mike in orange spikes
- getting busted by the cops in my backyard
- eating pasta with some locals in Europe
- skateboarding
- hanging outside the club before shows
- swimming (bare and before the tattoos)
- Eric and Dave jamming in the back of Mike's junk, cramped tour van
- playing basement gigs
- eating lunch and chilling out
- punks out of place in a European square
- and lots more personal, up-close and intimate shots that make you feel like you were there.
These are not extra's from some poseur magazine editors collection---
Here are 60 up close and personal photos from the best days of hanging with NOFX.
*the originals are mine, you get quality reprints and will likely see them listed again.
If you use BIN, I will throw in a sheet of stickers they used on the 1985, 1986,1987 and 1988 tours.
