This is brilliant. As someone who considers The Decline the GREATEST and most well-written punk rock tune EVER, hearing this treatment of it really just floors me. So powerful, and so well done. Great job!!!
Likewise, mate. Likewise.
chuck ware agreed. greatest punk rock song of all time. and that is an understatement.
Why do kids always confuse subjective enjoyment with objective quality? The Decline is an excellent song, but saying it is the best punk song ever is callow and ironic. Punk's too diverse for anyone to be in a position to say what's the best, plus what makes a composition objectively good and why? The last part is still debated for a reason.
(Examples of punk's diversity: Hot Cross, Off Minor, Discharge, Yaphet Kotto, Nation of Ulysses, Sonic Youth, Suicide, Pavement, Bad Brains, Combatwoundedveteran, The Vaselines, Algernon Cadwallader, Make Do and Mend and La Dispute.)
wrarmatei "as someone who considers.." .. kind of negates any argument. I'm not in disagreement from the point you're attempting to convey, but the original statement clearly pointed out that it was of his personal opinion.
Nope. Its americana and liberalism the movement defined. Pure art.
0:51 a life of music studies to do the melvin scream, hilarious
"melvin scream" lmao
That even shows once more how brilliant and unique Fat Mike‘s songwriting is!
a masterpiece created from a masterpiece.
The Decline is a Masterpiece; punk or not!
Wow, let me try to type this. A long time fan of NOFX and also into orchestras and all instruments, this hit the spot. First came the goose bumps, next came the tears. What a fantastic thing to do, and to record and share with the world. I wish you all the very best. Thank you again.
Drummer knew the lyrics and couldn't hold himself heheh
Indeed
The bass drummer was totally frickin rad. The whole thing was rad. I would have done nearly anything to see this in person.
Mitchel Edward Wavra Baz was frickin rad. I only played his orchestration ;)
8:16 she got that "im going to sit on his face later" look.
Matty That what?
@@therevolution91 That "im going to sit on his face later" look.
Weirdest comment I've seen in a while lol
Remember when this song first came out?
I was 16 yrs old, living in Florida, sooooo INTO music, and had already been into Fat Wreck Chords stuff since '94 This song came out, and blew Everybody away!
...Everybody had it.
Everybody talked about it...
and that's the double-truth, Ruth!
This makes me cry - usually The Decline invokes tears of desolation; this verson does that but too tears of beauty and hopefulness
YEAHH What they did is amazing. So Brilliant... really. I'm so proud of being one of the musicians in the orchestra haha X) The arrangement, the video... perfect. Thank you
Bravo, c'est super :D Je suis trop contente d'avoir pu participer à un projet comme ça ^^
Merci
Lamya Mah Merci, Lamya. That was great and really made me smile. I love this album.
You guys did great.
Beautiful!
Félicitations! c'est vraiment formidable! Great work!
Which instrument did you play?
This really highlights the quality of the music that NOFX achieved with this song. I've moved past their brand of music for the most part, but The Decline always succeeds in impressing me, no matter how many times I hear it.
I bet the guys from Nofx are extremely humbled by this, including Spike who sang backing vocals and Lars from Skanking Pickle who played trombone on the original recording!!! So beautiful!! I have so much respect for whoever created this and am very grateful B.A.Z, for sharing this with us!! Many Thanks!!
Yeah cried too, no surprise 15 (16) years the original made me weepy too, greatest punk song elevated and honored in the most incredible way
+Dan EC I would say Greatest Album ever :)
I love how the conductor plays the Xylophone. Great stuff, gives me goose bumps everytime I hear this peice. Love all the comments on this, glad to see so many NOFX fans broaden there minds.
Imagine the countless hours re writing this music . This was amazing. And the decline is Def one of the best punk songs ever
14:13 that moment when you realize you are hearing an epic piece of art!
Try 12:38
This is my only funeral request. It makes me cry. Music never makes me cry.
I hope you're not planning to have your funeral in the foreseeable future.
"The Decline" sometimes makes me. Especially when I saw it live. ;)
They messed it up both times I saw it live, still the best though, maybe even better.
dana merizzi Haha, did they? Not when I saw 'em. - th-cam.com/video/3RNrJthKHIo/w-d-xo.html
I wish I still had my video, there was a 20 minute accordion solo at one show.
That actually might be the most beautiful thing I've never heard.
yes, this is punk rock. and they wrote a fu*king symphony. i mean NoFX, not the Orchestra, but they did the great job anyways. and thank You, i actually cried (almost 4 times but tears went down in part "And so we go, on with our lives, we know the truth, but prefer lies [...] He's got his, and I've got mine, meet the decline".
No sarcasm, thank You. It was amazing, I'm still droppin' tears and YOU give me an amazing moment in my life that won't be repeated again. Thank You.
Can't believe I'm just now finding this The Decline has been one of my favorite songs since the first time I heard it
This is one of the 3 best musical experiences of my life ❤️ ♥️ 🙌
I am floored. it's just amazing
I especially like when Baz plays the xylophone.
Eric Melvin it is now officially called a Zylophone
nemuchan so what comes under X when kids learn the alphabet now?
Epic. Brings tears to my eyes.
Symphony Punk...Gotta Love It!
I bet Eric Melvin came across this video stoned out of his mind one night and said "This is totally gnarly"
Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant
I'm so thankful to be alive
You guys just won the internet for today. Felicitations!
thumbs up fot the nofx bass drum guy!
João Rodrigo All the credits go to Baz, he's the one who made this possible. We're playing his orchestration but he's the "genius".
Seb Pabst Agree. He is amazing, we did nothing but play.
