I heard they suck live

For the one who didn't get it. it's the name of an album.

Epic reddit-tier contribution. I was hoping for a lame pun, but a low effort reference without explanation is just as good. Bacon.

Have an upvote, sir.

> a low effort reference without explanation

That's all you get on the free tier. No hours to spare, gotta dev 10x

> Like a show in London in 2000 when Fat Mike, Melvin and El Hefe decided to take ecstasy before going onstage. “Melvin is trying to play the accordion and he can’t,” Fat Mike said, laughing. “It was our biggest show and we took the punk way out. We were all dying laughing.”

> “Who cares?” he added. “Why NOFX are so good is because we’re having a better time than our fans.”

I saw them in Amsterdam. They came on stage and asked the audience "anyone got any pills?". Several baggies rained down on the stage. They went backstage for a bit, and started playing. It was fantastic. But not very musically sound, especially towards the end.

They are super fun live.

Especially compared to the robotic Offspring, who were playing exactly as they did on their albums.

I think being able to sound "the same as their albums" while playing live is a great gesture about how good they are, and how the albums they put out are processed.

Pink Martini can pull off the same trick. They can reproduce their albums live, and without any playback. It shows how unedited their albums are, and how good they are with their instruments and voice.

It's the title of one of their albums ;)

Haa, they have so many of them, I forgot.

Also, Primus sucks

I spoke with Mike before one of his last shows. I told him that I head they they suck live. He told me they got better.
