Maybe not as bad as the others…
I’ve been a NOFX fan for about 25 years; still am.
Their whole Vegas shooting country music joke was really hard to wake up to & read as a fan. Also the ripple effect that had on the other bands playing with them; the shows getting canceled; it was all a huge shitshow.
Having said that, I’m sure NOFX themselves have done more fucked up things than that joke, but the timing and lack of sensitivity was really a gut punch (not just to the fans, but the people of Vegas and the victim’s families).
Have also been a fan since '92! Fat Mike, and I know it wasn't just him, but he kinda went off the rails there for a bit. For a while.. it got me down..I guess it was a ploy to stay a little relevant, or to get out of a business deal.
