NOFX last appeared on Scottish land back in August 2002 at the 'Gig On The Green' Festival. At the festival, the band and their crew were involved in an altercation with what Fat Mike has described as a 'biker gang' - who tried to attack them with 'screwdrivers and pipes'.
Clearly this was quite a serious incident, and it is understandable that the band were shaken by it. But 7 years have passed. NOFX have returned to the UK several times since the 'biker gang' fiasco, yet have boycotted Scotland each time in the name of one isolated incident.
If the biker gang were so dangerous, and such a threat to the band and their crew then why have they not ventured across the border to attack the band when they have played in Newcastle or other northern English cities?
The threat the 'biker gang' represent is more of an imaginary fear than a real material one. And it is for this reason that we are uniting as one voice to demand that NOFX stop persecuting the fans that love them the most, the Scottish, and book a fucking show in Scotland.
*Note: Death threats (far more serious) have not stopped the likes of Bono, The Dixie Chicks, Paul McCartney and even the actor that played Harry Potter - so why should they stop NOFX?
We the undersigned, call on Fat Mike, El Hefe, Eric Sandin and Eric Melvin to return to bonnie Scotland to play a show on their next visit to the UK in March 2009.
We, like William Wallace and Rob Roy MacGregor before us, promise to beat down upon anyone who tries to take from us something we love so dearly and we also promise to give you the best show of the tour and as much free whisky as you desire.
Come to Scotland, we love you and we miss you. x
