Fat Mike of NOFX recently spoke to Campus Circle about their forthcoming DVD release of Backstage Passport on March 17, 2009.

Mike explained why the DVD is special:

Fuse tried to do the same thing with other bands, but they aren't as entertaining as us. Other bands won't show drug use, and they aren't particularly funny to begin with. They are young and haven't lived life long enough. It's kind of sad that bands are so concerned about their careers. 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.

He compares this attitude to Avenged Sevenfold saying:

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.
