Smelly is such a hero to me on a personal level. When Backstage Passport first aired in early 2008 I had just quit drinking and was struggling a lot, but seeing him talk about his addiction and being sober for 14 years (at that point) made me feel a glimmer of hope. And I just realized that I recently turned 14 years sober myself.

Listening to the NOFX audiobook, his parts made me laugh out loud so many times. Not because his stories were funny, but because I was a troubled and idiotic teen myself and I could totally understand why he made many decisions. So many times I stopped the audiobook, took off the heaphones and started screaming "What the fuck were you doing smellyyyyyy" hahaha. This dude was a mess for so many years, yet I am extremely happy he became sober and has his life under control. Smelly, even if you dont wanna hear it, you are a fucking hero and role model to me, knowing how hard it is to beat addictions. After listening to the audiobook for 11-12 hours it feels to me like I am a part of the NOFX circle of friends. Highly recommendable book. After finishing the book, I immediately bought tickets for a NOFX show in May 2019, although none of my friends wants to go with me, because they think that NOFX sucks live ^^. Yeah ... no shit, still, gotta visit my bros and see them live again, even if I go alone. I surely will have a blast!

He plays Yamaha, interesting, I've never really dug Yamaha anything. I remember I went to a Yamaha store once and I hated the vibe I got from all the employees. They were all dressed in nice suits, and I was looking to buy my first real electric guitar. I talked to 2 people, both of them were so pretentious about what genre I played, and what I wanted out of my guitar and talked down to me like a child. I was 14 at the time, but I wasn't a fucking idiot. What I was looking for in a guitar hasn't even changed that much in the 7 years since, despite primarily being a bass player for the past couple years.

great great great drummer!!
wicked drums,and a awesome drummer.
He's a great drummer. him and dusty Watson are my two favorite drummers in punk rock and really just overall. Eric is tight and solid with a great punch you in the gut and Watson is just tight as fuck. I wish I could play drums like that.
I fucking love Smelly. Honestly, he's a lot of the reason I ultimately got into punk rock. Listening to and playing along to NoFX showed me that d beat is actually and literally the most fun thing ever. XD also, his jazzy solo in California Drought is a testament to the fact that he may well be the greatest in the genre if not the world.
Amazing Yamaha 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Your tone is incredible sir 🙏🏻
The song playing in the background is about him, actually.

I still tell my drummers to drum like Smelly
Y'all should use some of the more killer drum pieces in the background. Like I love you more than I hate me...super tight
First time I heard NOFX I thought cool dbl bass in punk haha wrong fastest foot in the west I LOVE SMELLY!!! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

Nice guy....(Erik "Smelly" Sandin)
Smelly START UR OWN BAND!!!
He plays Yamaha, interesting, I've never really dug Yamaha anything. I remember I went to a Yamaha store once and I hated the vibe I got from all the employees. They were all dressed in nice suits, and I was looking to buy my first real electric guitar. I talked to 2 people, both of them were so pretentious about what genre I played, and what I wanted out of my guitar and talked down to me like a child. I was 14 at the time, but I wasn't a fucking idiot. What I was looking for in a guitar hasn't even changed that much in the 7 years since, despite primarily being a bass player for the past couple years.

Played OCDP for years and years, I think he just recently switched. Not sure how those endorsement deals work or what the incentives are for switching from one company to another.

Thats been a common complaint of critics, he’s a one trick pony. I’m sure he’s capable of more intricate parts but by god, the few things he does he does to absolute PERFECTION!
smelly rules
wish i could find a video about his drumming techniuqe and maybe a lesson
smellys the best
bro I feel so bad for him a lot of people don't recognize him when he is with the rest of the band 😭
Yamaha Power V was my first kit. It was my reward for getting out of the 8th grade😂
smelly is the best
スメリーの爆速ビートを事も無げに叩くのがカッコいいんだよなあ
The real reason NOFX has been so good all these years. Not underrated tho as almost everyone in punk rock says he's the best.
