Chords for NOFX's Fat Mike & Bad Cop Bad Cop 10/29/17

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Daci D, Bad Cop, Bad Cop.
And I saw the t-shirt, somebody was wearing one of your t-shirts and it's a big giant
pink donut, which I think that's fucking hilarious.
Come sit.
Lynn is the bassist.
Hi Lynn.
Hi.
I'm still sweaty, I'm sorry.
We had an original bass player, it was Little Jen, who was in the Angry Amputees with me.
I moved out here from the East Coast and I had met Jen at a bar and I was all drunk and
everything, like complaining about how I can never find other female musicians and stuff.
I was like, the hardest thing to find is a drummer.
She's like, I play drums.
Then we became friends and then when she had decided _ to not be in Bad Cop anymore, she
had mentioned it to me and also had referred me to the girls and they had reached out to
me and I was like, really?
We were also in a band together at the time too called The City.
_ [C] So we were already playing together.
You were already in a band.
Okay, so you were a known quantity.
That's good.
So now one of the things I have to mention is I saw online that there [N] was a 40 album,
40 punk rock albums over 40 years and you guys got picked.
Can you fucking believe that?
That was cool, man.
I was like, holy shit, I lived in England. Kerrang!
Magazine, which is not, I mean those guys do know what they're talking about.
They really do.
I lived in England for a while and that was the biggest rock magazine over there, bar none.
To get that was like, I think what that means is because they did a record a year for 40
years, so I think they may have given us best punk record of the year, which is pretty huge.
Because you're the last one, 2017.
We're 2017, we got it.
Can you fucking believe that, dude?
That's fucking cool, man.
I was really blown away by that.
We were all blown away.
And then I read the, you know, what albums you're in company with, with all these great
bands who laid the groundwork for this.
I have goosebumps talking about it.
Yeah, yeah.
You know how hard I've worked for this?
Sure.
I've been there for a while.
You were there from the beginning of my _ excursion into the [C] San Francisco punk rock scene.
_ Hey, it's Ace.
What's up, [Dm] Ace?
How are you, brother?
Good.
Come [Am] sit down.
[G] On your lap?
No, not on my lap.
You're not that [F] cute.
I like the dress, though.
I'm fucking cute, dude.
[Cm] How are you, brother?
You can pull [Fm] this, I can't.
I'm enjoying myself. _
Spaghetti straps, [C] all about spaghetti.
I can't do spaghetti straps, man, I'm sorry.
You're Chinese, [D] you don't do spaghetti, you do noodles.
Noodles.
I'm not even Chinese.
[B] _ _
Rice noodles, to be specific.
_ [C] _ _
Mike, what the hell's happening?
How did this whole thing come together?
My matching panties.
There we go.
Whoa, that's hot.
Tell me a little bit about how the whole thing came together, this [F] amazing tour, with the
craft beer angle.
Well, [C] free beer and punk bands.
[F] Why didn't someone think of this before? _
[Cm] _ _ Pretty good.
Really?
I mean, come on.
Seems to me a no-brainer, but_
And what could go wrong?
I don't know.
I know, right?
_ _ [B] That's our [C] slogan.
What could go wrong?
_ [A] _ Huntington Beach, 12 [D],000 meatheads on the beach.
[Ab] _ [F] No, like, white pride riots, you know what I mean?
[D] Like, no riots.
We're adults.
[G] Thank goodness.
It's a weekend, you don't want to go to work with a black eye.
_ _ _ Going to work with a black eye.
That's [C] why this festival's only on [B] weekends.
Oh, yeah, that was a_
You know, I like that [C] idea, too.
Well, yeah, because it's a great idea.
I'm not going to be a black eye.
So what was the pitch meeting like for [F] this?
See, the idea was, let's do it on weekdays only.
Yeah, [Cm] not a good idea.
Oh, my God.
Probably not going to work.
Mondays [F] only.
Yeah, Mondays. Jeez.
[G] Let's just all call in.
Because he pokes [F] holes in everything.
That's what he told me.
He's [D] like, I win at [C] things.
[D] Reality check TV.
Check, check, [C] check, check. Check, check.
Because he comes from the place of, like, if he can't poke holes on it, then it holds water, right?
And it works.
Right.
Like, you have to be a pessimist.
This is the only way to figure things out.
People are optimistic.
This will be great.
This will happen and this will happen.
No, this could happen and this could happen and [F] this could happen.
All this [C] weird shit could go wrong.
And this thing is, you know, the thing is, this venue doesn't work out too well.
It's [Bb] usually been like a football field with beer everywhere and a band.
[Db] _ _ At one stage.
Why would you need more than one stage?
No, you don't need more than [C] one stage.
And that's why we play Herb Albert between bands.
Because you need an ear break.
That's right.
You don't want to hear more punk.
_ And that's a, you know, there's a lot of great ideas.
Yeah, and we're.
_ So was there like a long process to put this thing together or did everybody kind of fall
in the line right away?
They came to me with a 21.
They said we want 21 bands in L.A. for one show.
Pug a Drop, like 21 and over.
[G] And I didn't like the idea that much.
[D] _ We need another [A] headliner.
It needed to be Bad Religion [G] and No Effects.
_ [B] [A] And they couldn't get another headliner.
So I [G] didn't want it to be a [A] bad turnout.
_ So against [G] Bad Religion and [A] Bad Religion were free this year.
And [D] I said, let's just do six bands.
Let's try it out in six cities.
[C] See how it goes.
[G] _ [D] Seems to have worked out.
Shit. _ _
Tacoma, Washington, 9,500 people.
Yeah.
[G] Sweet.
[D] _ _
And [G] what do you think we did in beer sales?
[C] Oh, I can't even [D] imagine.
Must have been off the charts.
Why don't you pick a number?
_ [G] _
_ _ [C] [G] $10,000?
[D] $10 [A],000.
No, more.
$12,000.
I would say more like [D] $100,000.
No, we did $300,000 in beer.
$300,000 in beer?
Yeah.
Jesus fucking [G] Christ.
And it's not Live Nation [D] beer.
It's our beer.
[A] It's our beer.
[Bb] And that's a good thing because [D] we keep it in the house as opposed to they make all the
money on the beer sales.
Well, this is the only Live Nation.
[C] We couldn't find a [G] place in the Bay Area.
[D] Yeah.
So you can get free beer over there or $16 beer over here. Yeah.
What do you think is going to happen?
_ _ [G] $16.
You want [Dm] a Bud Light for $12?
I'll get you one.
No, [Gm] I'm going to pass.
[D] Thanks.
Oh, cool.
Hi.
[G] Nice.
I've known you forever, [C] dude.
Yes, brother.
It's [G] so good to see you.
Give me [E] a quick update on what's happening with [Dm] NOFX aside from this tour.
No.
[G] Come on.
Don't be a meanie.
No, this is our last show for six months.
So you're taking some time off?
[D] No.
[A] NOFX is.
[Ab] [D] What are you getting?
I don't take time off.
I got to get my music on Broadway. _
[Cm] There you go.
There [D] we go.
There you go.
Take care, brother.
Good to see [F] you.
Thanks for [C] the flowers.
