'The Decline' is quite possibly the greatest song ever written. It doesn't matter how it is arranged or performed...it still shines. This cover is an absolute masterpiece. Well freaking done, dude!
It's the greatest song ever written. Too bad humanity will have the consequence of not being enlightened. Half of America denies climate change and supports Trump... We're done folks.
I don’t know if I’d say that, only because there are so many amazing songs out there, but The Decline is an absolutely amazing song. I revisit it every year or two, and have ever since it came out, and am always impressed with not only how well it holds up and what a meaningful and well-written song it is, but also how it continues to get better and better for me and seems to get more and more relevant. Back when this came out I don’t remember it making too much of a splash. We all liked it, but it seemingly took a few years for people (including many or most NOFX fans) to really recognize how great it is.
I’ve commented on a total of 5 TH-cam videos in my life... I would like to personally shake your hand someday. The original song simply says it all, and in no way shape or form could I fathom a version that could do it’s justice. You my good sir have placed a whole new flavor on a historical punk-rock masterpiece! Good Work!
Fuck, I loved absolutely every dam moment of this song, you literally pulled it off with every detail and for that I have to say beautifully done, more than impressed with this cover, magical to say the least...
This is one of the raddest things I’ve ever heard being a born and raised west Texas punk in the middle of nowhere Texas this brought a tear to my eye thank you sir
One of the greatest Songs ever written. And in my opinion the main content and thus the most important accusation that this song shows is the decline that began in 2020. that wasn't really the intention of NoFx...However, if you look at the lyrics in general - and you should - you have to translate the meaning to this now emerging "fourth industrial revolution". That's what punk is about to me. And if anyone doubts that then R.I.P. Punk, long live humanism!!!
I’ve been fortunate to see NOFX perform this song live. Somehow your version ended up in my recommended videos and as a bluegrass fan I was curious but I clicked on it thinking it could go either way. What a pleasant surprise to find that you fuckin’ nailed it. Thank you for this.
Damn. You nailed it. I’m not a big fan of bluegrass covers, and I expected to turn this off in 30 seconds, but I couldn’t stop listening. You nailed all the intricacies of the song and what makes it great. Very well done!
Same here. I wanted to hate this from the beginning because of close ties I have with this song. But, I’ll be a monkeys uncle, I couldn’t stop listening and this is one of the best versions I’ve heard of this song for sure
Bam. Official fan. I self medicate with SuperChunk, The Jaw to the Breaker, NoeffX, Pixies, Pumpkins, Immortal, Bukowski, Nucleus "Jam on it". The third to the last song on Justice w fade in. I reach for that lifesavers. Your version got called up on my internal frequency declaration record replay mood analyzer. Cover isn't kind enough. Version or Treatment. Skills. I needed to hear this through your system. Ty munchez Gratioso.
I was very humbled listening to this. Brought a tear to my eye and raised the hairs on my arms. The power of good art is transforming and inspiring! Thank you Bryan and NOFX!
I dont comment too much , if ever , but yeah , gotta say , great job. I really like this. Nofx is one of my favorites of all time, and your version of this is a really nice spin on it. Sounds great. You should do more covers of material like this.
I grew up SoCal punk. This song in that context is the shit. Hearing it in this context, with these instruments, in this way. It hits different. This is very good.
Good for you man. This could have been pure novelty bullshit but you surprisingly pulled it off. As someone with equal footing in punk rock and bluegrass i can say you did a damn respectable job.
This is a fucking killer version of this song. I downloaded it, and listen at least twice a week. Bryan bobo should try to get permission to release it on vinyl.

Just need to trim 12 minutes of fat off this pig and you'd have a real winner!
@@jbtallullah7009 and the other half supports Biden. Sheeple

@@jbtallullah7009Americans thinking America is the only country in the world:
Country musicians are now invited
To be fair, this is bluegrass. Country is kind of like the pop version of Bluegrass.
If they're willing to repeat these lyrics, they've likely already left Jesusland
Bluegrass and punk... match made in Heaven
Oh man, that scale back on "Aren't ever asked, etc." was absolute magic.
6yrs later and still playing this. Great cover of one of the best song ever written.
Bluegrass, the original punk rock.
So happy someone else draws the same comparison ❤️
If only more than "NOFX fans" could actually received these words, after all, they've only been here 20 years. Good show!
Try 40 years
As a die hard NOFX fan who lives with a country girl, well, this just hits all of the right spots.

Perfectly summed up.
Hats off, sir. Great cover. And it thrills me to the tits that non-punks might soak up the message.
"thrills me to the tits" 🤣🤣☠️
Fucking hell I'm glad the internet exists so I can continue to expand my vocab. 🙌🏻 Thankyou 😂
This is EXCELLENT!!!! The slide guitar is a great addition
I’m still listening to this and finding cool ass shit man. The happy mandolin peppered in is such a great choice
It's a crime that this doesn't have a million views.
Seriously, I don't even like bluegrass but this cover is fantastic.
@@mdog86 Still makes me furious coming here and seeing insufficient traffic. Fucking sickening. This needs more eyes on it. This guy rules.
Bluegrass fit so well to The Decline's theme
I've always thought that Mike's play style sounded like it'd easily fall into banjo. I didn't think I'd ever hear it though.
Fuck, I loved absolutely every dam moment of this song, you literally pulled it off with every detail and for that I have to say beautifully done, more than impressed with this cover, magical to say the least...
Wow been a notx fan since 1992 now a Bryan bobo fan as well
Wow as a huge NOFX fan this is cool!
Oh my friggin' God. I am having goosebumps from start to end. This is, plain and simple, a masterpiece of a cover. You more than nailed it!
That regge switch was on point
Very good cover of one of the best pieces ever written.
Agreed
Totally
I hope you got to see it live with BAZ's orchestra at the Punk in Drublic craft beer and music festival.
I thought that was a Nofx original o shit this guy's got the nads to say he's soul creater damn
AGREED, my friend.
This is one of the raddest things I’ve ever heard being a born and raised west Texas punk in the middle of nowhere Texas this brought a tear to my eye thank you sir
Texas punk, too. I'm here with you
OMG, how am I just finding out about this now. At first I was thinking, oh this should be neat. WOAH! THE ENTIRE SONG!?!?!?!
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

Well done dude. This is a very very important piece of music for a lot of us and you did a great job! Amazing.....nice work.

Was not expecting this to rock as hard as it did. Love this fuckin song and this was really well done cover.
WOW, just WOW!!!😍😎😮👍👍👍
LOVE this!! I'm a huge NOFX and Bluegrass fan, I am very happy this exists! 10/10 🤟🏻
How 19 people who can't even be classified as people didn't like it? This is amazing, I listen to it every day! Congratulations !
breath taking

Perfect. Thanks!
What a beautiful arrangement and rendition of a monumental classic. Thank you for this.
This gives the BAZ orchestral version a solid run for its money :)
Bam. Official fan. I self medicate with SuperChunk, The Jaw to the Breaker, NoeffX, Pixies, Pumpkins, Immortal, Bukowski, Nucleus "Jam on it". The third to the last song on Justice w fade in.

This is a fantastic cover. I would love to see a video of this being preformed. This NOFX life long fan approves!
My god. Brilliant.
I grew up SoCal punk. This song in that context is the shit. Hearing it in this context, with these instruments, in this way. It hits different. This is very good.
Well done.. The only cover I heard who nailed it at 14:06..Good work
Very fucking talented. Bad ass cover not a big blue grass fan. But I have to say you killed. Awesome job.
