FAT MIKE VS. AVENGED SEVENFOLD
According to The Pulse of Radio, AVENGED SEVENFOLD was slammed by veteran punk rock musician and label owner Fat Mike in a new interview he did with California’s Campus Circle newspaper. Mike, who sings for the band NOFX and owns the long-running and well-regarded Fat Wreck Chords, was asked what was wrong with music today. He replied, “AVENGED SEVENFOLD is the epitome of what’s wrong with rock and roll. They support Bush. Support the Iraq War. Wouldn’t accept a drink ’cause they have to play the next day, but tell everyone they party. And play to a fucking DAT tape. However, a couple of them are decent poker players.”
Although AVENGED SEVENFOLD is well-known for its members’ conservative Republican politics, Mike did not expand on his other claims about the group. AVENGED SEVENFOLD has yet to comment.
NOFX has been recording and touring for 25 years, and Mike said he’s proud of the band’s refusal to compromise its music or lifestyle. “It’s kind of sad that bands are so concerned about their careers,” he said. “They tone down their music like they tone down themselves. You can’t go on a big rock tour and go crazy anymore. It’s like we’re in our own little world.”

Im gonna have to agree with Mr Mike. Fuck Avenged 7 Fold Id love to kick them right in their faggot nuts. God what I would give to splash hot coffee in all their faces and or have two people hold their arms and ill just work their breadbaskets.
Fat Mike has the right to make fun of them because that band is definately a shame, but Fat Mike is also a huge faggot, eccept for the fact that he has released Propagandhi records.
Haha republicans.
NoFX: 1 A7X: 0
I agree though the musical content, by metal standards isn't terrible... How much more lyrics can one write about Vampires or Iraq/war.
None if ya ask me
What is Fat Mike's required guarantee for NOFX shows again? Ten thousand last time I checked. Different dudes cut from the same homo cloth. Also, I don't care how cool "White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean" is.
