My mom payed the neighbor girl, Audrey, to take me to school after I moved 300 miles from SLC to St. George, UT (just north of Vegas) in 1993. White Trash was still quite new and Audrey fkn LOVED it. She introduced me to NOFX. The very first person I met (aside from her) walked into our first period class on the first day of school, wearing a shirt that read "Everything Sucks", dragging a duffle bag behind him like a dead dog. I was like, "THIS GUY GETS IT!" Ryan was my best friend. We saw our first NOFX show together at Bricks in Salt Lake. I think Snuff opened? We saw NOFX in Vegas so many times. One was a Friday show so we got shithoused on manischevitz. We drove to Boise for the second ever Punk in Drublic, then flew to Philly on Ryan's 40th birthday for PiD, with Mad Caddies, the Interrupters, Bad Religion, and the incomparable NOFX, of course. We did so much blow and had a fkng blast! I don't have any brothers, but Ryan is my brother. He killed himself on October 23rd, leaving behind a 15-year-old son . . . and a 46-year-old 'brother.' Jesus Christ, I'm getting snot and tears everywhere. Gross. Fluids of varying viscosities just oozing outta my face. "She's Gone" always moved me. It's my favorite song on that album by a country mile. I already miss Ryan so much I can barely function. I've grabbed my phone to shoot him a text about some such shit at least three times every day, forgetting that he won't see it. He's gone. We were looking forward to one last NOFX show. Shit. Thank you, Mike.

Interesting point about the sad vibe, even though most of the chords are major. On top of that, the first chord (D5) has no 3rd, so from the first chord alone, we don't know what key we're in. It's super cool and interesting that when our brains hear the relationship of the chords and the distance between them, that's what gives us the vibe, not just the chord qualities themselves. Love it.
@darrenedwarddolhanty6814
11 ай бұрын
In NOFXs version the first chord isn’t actually a D5. It’s a A#5 then a C with the major third E then a D with the minor third of F, so the D does point to minor. The way Fat Mike plays it here isn’t how it is in their version which is odd.

I thought you did a bunch of writing on The Holiday has Been Cancelled? Litterally the only EP I ever purchased, still have it, Falling Down is still one of the most unique ska songs. As far as I'm concerned the Police might have been the best ska punk band ever. Generally you can only fuck with the reggea recipe so much before it becomes something else, they got way more creative with the timing than just about anyone.

I remember my parents heard it and assumed it was about bad parenting though... Wish they could've heard what it was truly about But my dad is dead now and my mom might as well be dead to me. And she wouldn't have cared either way... Bad parenting... How sad the irony is in hindsight

Not so fast. None of what he showed for "She's Gone" was technically correct. He never shows a chord, but 2 note dyads. It takes 3 different notes to create a chord. Also, none of those dyads were major or minor. They were just root 4th's or root 5ths, which are the same for major or minor.
