brentoage Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 from http://www.punknews.org/article/27999: NOFX has announced the details for their long-promised documentary covering their recent world tour. The show will be aired on Fuse and includes their visits to o Singapore, Peru, Israel, South Africa, Turkey and South Korea. They explained:So we got the bright idea to take two cameras dudes on this sketchy tour we booked and make a documentary. After a few weeks we realized there’s way too much semi-interesting, sorta funny, kind of embarrassing stuff going on. How are we gonna fit all this on a DVD? So we thought maybe TV? Nah, that’s never gonna happen—we’re not nearly as funny as Travis Barker. But we made a little trailer anyhow and showed it to some of our friends at Fuse. They loved it and showed it to some of their bosses. Their bosses didn’t get it at all and told us they would call. We knew what that meant, so it was back to the DVD idea. We kept the camera dudes on tour with us for the next year and some pretty cool stuff happened. Well…not cool for us, but cool for the DVD. Stuff like not getting paid, cops shutting down shows, Muslims getting pissed at us, Jews getting pissed at us, scoring the wrong drugs, getting beat up by Japanese women in latex, getting beat up by a Russian man in a pointy hat and basically having a super great time. We finished the tour in South Africa and came home. We figured we might as well show it to the Fuse people again. (We showed it to HBO too, and they told us that maybe if we were U2 they would consider it…diss.) By this time Fuse had hired new people and the new folks loved it. They said they wanted to make it into a documentary series. Coolage! We signed the papers and now we have a TV show. After months and months of editing and fighting amongst ourselves, we have 8 episodes of a show, but after you account for commercials it’s only about the length of a really long movie. Think Titanic meets Spinal Tap. NOFX never had a video on MTV, but now we have a documentary on TV. Weird how things work out. Anyhow, it comes out in April sometime. My neighbors are never going to speak to me again. You can click Read More for a trailer. The entire thing will begin airing on April 15th and run 8 episodes of 30 minutes each. the trailer is also posted on the actual news article.

adamlikesmusic Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Looks awesome. I'm glad it is more documentary style then the normal "tv show" type show. And that it's only 8 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recordsyeah Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 When I was kid my parents had a professional betamax that used to belong to a tv station. I could slow down and speed up the tape to any speed with sound. it was awesome. i would watch star wars in slow motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
