SNFU 'I FORGET' COVER - FEAT: GOOD RIDDANCE, SUM 41, RISE AGAINST, ALMIGHTY TRIGGER HAPPY, RULES
DEDICATED TO MR CHI PIG (1962 - 2020)
SNFU were one of the few punk bands that would come through my hometown while I was growing up. I was fortunate enough to have my band open for them on a few occasions, and even got to spend some time with their incredible front man, Mr. Chi Pig. To this day, I’ve never seen another band bring more energy, excitement or stage presence to a live show. They were truly in a class by themselves! It's an honour to cover my absolute favourite SNFU song 'I Forget' from their sophomore album 'If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish', which deals with a loved one suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. If you're not familiar with this band, do yourself a favour and dive into their catalog. One of the greatest bands Canada ever produced...certainly my favourite.
'1,2, SNFU' !!!!!

fucking UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! amazing awesome !! My LORD It warms this mans heart to see such wicked wicked playing and of such an ICONIC song for me! SNFU, first saw em in late 83 in london ontario warehouse gig
I'm from Edmonton and SNFU was one our hometown bands. I saw them go from playing shows to less than 50 people to over 500 within a few years. Chi's energy was amazing but man the Belke brothers could rip. Evan Jones the original drummer for SNFu passed away last year, he will be missed. There is a giant mural of Chi on the side of a building in Edmonton now and there is an arts scholarship in his name at his high school. Chi may be gone but he will not be forgotten.

I attended their gigs in Edmonton as well around 87-88 or so. Was so much fun. Crazy energy and the best sounding punk rock I had heard. I remember the one gif they threw out a bunch of sex toys to the audience. I jumped off that stage many times. Miss those crazy days.
Chi was a GOD live and was very sweet. RIP Chi. Loved doing show's with him every time

Without a doubt one of the best if not the best skate punk bands ever. Great homage and cover with great musicians! RIP Mr. Chi Pig.
Great tribute! A reminder of Chi’s brilliance. And the brilliance of the Belke Brothers as guitarists and composers. Wild to think they recorded this song in 1986, so ahead of it’s time, IMO.
Please don't stop making these videos.

There are a few songs that they could cover that might put them above this one for me, but only a few.
2:44 I still have that t-shirt... it's 34 years old! This was the first punk album I bought and SNFU was my first punk show. All Ages Show on a Sunday afternoon. Saw them many more times after that over the years and across the country. #RIPChiPig
SNFU...greatest Canadian punk band ever...rip Mr pig
SNFU was one of the most prolific punk bands! So good the lyrics were always so heartfelt the way chi wrote em! Russ absolutely killed the vocals on this! He is one of my favorite vocalists. Killer all the way around!

Killer to see you folks do this cover ...... and a day after the passing of SNFU's original drummer Evan C Jones. Rest in Power Evan and Ken...... my brothers . I love you and miss you dearly .
My favorite SNFU song. My first punk show was SNFU on tour for this album (if you swear). They were opening for Toxic Reasons, but they put on such an amazing show.
Nolan and Rankin are my two favorite vocalists paying tribute to another fave. What's even cooler to me, is that Al, and Brownsound are local buddies of mine (So is Val Knox in another vid of yours)
Great cover of a great song for a man larger than life and not meant to grace us with his presence for very long
It's great.R.I.P MR CHI PIG.
Re-reading Chris Walters book this week. And just heard the news re tadpole today. RIP and thanks.
Mikey, these vids have been so awesome. 2020 was so bad, then I lost my grandma a couple weeks ago, though we knew it was coming, still hard. I'm so glad some of my punk icons can give me some bit of cheer :) Thanks Mikey!

I sent the link to He's Not Getting Older He's Getting Bitter to a friend not 2 hours ago. Teared up over Ken. Now I'm doing it again. I passed by the old SNFU Shed on 100 ave here in Edmonton a few weeks back, remembering when Muc and Bunt showed me the pile of papers of the lyrics Ken had written for this album. Best record release party I ever went to.
Hits all too close to home... Awesome rendition of an already great song, not an easy accomplishment but you all nailed it. Thanks....
Chi Pig Forever 🙏
God damn everyone was dialed in on this one. Tight. Thank you for a perfect rendition.
Mikey, any chance of a UK Subs cover? We would appreciate it here in the UK.
Ficou bom demais!!!
Amazing!
Got here late this time. Life. But an awesome song yet again. Love it!
