[averyhuotari]

Study for exams that I'm going to fail? Hell no! Watch Fat Mike interviews? I think so.

[dismo77]

what is that song that comes on in the beginning? the I know I know I know thing

[hobohitmen]

i used to like them till i heard they were jewish

[whatupmaaan]

i like thrash metal, but it's still not hardcore. it's metal.

[skapunkteddybear]

Don't worry, Mike. They may have taken "hardcore", but you invented the term "nawsome".

[Shrewsbury2Tone]

totally agree with him. All this British 'hardcore' shit at the moment is NOT punk....ITS METAL! fuck!

and pop punk has always been shit!

[chucksano]

I didn't like Bush either, but Mike I can't help but wonder.... How do you feel about the abortion that has become of Obama's administration and the damage that he has caused to this country in the past two and a half years? Our debt has always sucked but this is out of fucking control now. Liberal or not, you've gotta see that right?

[feindclub666]

@chucksano Yeah, Obama was a disappointment but there's no way anyone will ever be as bad as Bush was.

[system0system0]

Fat mike-> Explain the maxwell's equations. What is the ampers equation.

[horrificpunkfreak]

Always Fucking Hated Metal!

[horrificpunkfreak]

Mann... This Dum Interviewer Needs To Be Replaced With Someone Who Can Give Some More Descent Questions That We Dont Know The Answers To!

[JonDeth]

AND I live in Ohio.

I hate to break your heart but Bush most likely won this state fair and square. The people here are pretty much Hollywood brainwashed and controlled. American Idol, 80 million dollar schlock movies, Shia Lebeouf, Angelina Jolie, Justin Beiber?

States like Ohio make them everything they are!

The midwest is the biggest consumer of Hollywood product.

Everyone locks themselves indoors here.

It's a dying state losing citizens by the tens of thousands with every year that passes

[JonDeth]

So when they're on a small label, how the hell do they live financially?

Tour ends, money stops flowing, wtf do they do?

I've been wondering this for years!

And what are you calling metal?

Most bands labeled metal today, are not metal. Be realistic, everything has turned into pop regardless of the core genre it's rooted in. By Hardcore, I think you mean screamo. Screamo isn't metal, it's scrawny nerds trying to do a growl and it sounds horrible. They sound 120lbs of 5 foot nothing nerd.

[propdood07]

Drum* fast*

[propdood07]

Its not a double bass deum beat, most punk(melodic hardcore) bands use a single pedal for that beat. And hes saying that the faat beat is "hardcore" thats how.it started ..great interview btw

[AptlyFictional]

I would love to know what Mike thought about

Blink's Dude Ranch (pop punk or melodic hardcore?)

Sum 41's Does this look infected (melodic hardcore? fun punk?)

MxPx (Punk rock? What about suggestion box or from new york to nowhere)

Offspring before Americana

Rasta Knast (German Band)

Shai Hulud (too metal?)

Bridge to Solace (too metal?)

and modern technical stuff like Forus, Sunsgrind or Sicktrick....

[alkalinenofx]

i love how what he says is so cynical but sounds so happy about it

[metalhead0043]

Biohazard isn't metal. Don't pawn that garbage on us. In fact, I'd prefer if all -core left metal altogether. You can have the word back. We don't want it, lol.

[BeatnikFromHell666]

Love that jew.

[akatoddzilla619]

metal kids are pussies they wish they were hardcore like fat mike

[emeryDH]

Interesting interview, I liked both parts!

[woikster]

ya know, he's right about the flatliners

[superawkward]

fuck i love this guy

[TheElephant79]

Where went the Mio $ for John Kerry ?

[SuicidalBrandon]

FUCKING METAL KIDS FUCKING STOLE IT FUCK

[numnutth]

the only metal bands that call themselves hardcore are the poser metalcore fucks. real metal bands have a lot of hardcore punk influence but they don't call themselves a hardcore band. and i have to say, i'm going to have to disagree with most of fat mikes theory on hardcore

[sillyblackgoose]

@numnutth At my school all the metal kids call themselves "hardcore" and they're not metalcore. It's pure metal, but sadly they call themselves 'hardcore."

[WildGunman77]

That "hardcore' beat was ripped off of late 80s thrash-metal bands like Exodus

[TribalAreaDVD]

@WildGunman77 funny! ever heard about early 80ies HC-Bands like Bad Brains or Black Flag?

[WildGunman77]

@TribalAreaDVD NO bands were playing that double-bass drum beat before those thrash bands were. I'm talking about the standard 'punk' beat like in NOFX's 'Linoleum'

[whatupmaaan]

@WildGunman77 listen to a song called betray by minor threat, and tell me thrash metal didnt rip that intro drum part off.

[NarpytheCrimeDog]

@TribalAreaDVD

WTF is a Black Flag?

/irony

[BeatnikFromHell666]

@TribalAreaDVD Bad Brains sucks 'cuz they are homophobic.

[PUNKERspMO]

[spins321]

@WildGunman77 Yeah, keep thinking that...

[ILikeToDissectGirls]
