They’ve Actually Got Worse Live! is a live album by punk rock band NOFX. The album is their second live recording, following their 1995 album I Heard They Suck Live!!
On September 26, 2007, the band posted a bulletin from their MySpace profile with the following regarding the album:
Ever done something you regret while drunk? I know, I know so embarrassing right? Ever woken up and rubbed your pounding skull and said, What did I do last night? Oh manyou should have seen yourself first you got totally blitzed and then then this is the best part YOU RECORDED A LIVE RECORD! Thats right, back in January, NOFX booked 3 nights of talking mixed with the occasional song at Slims in San Francisco and recorded a live record. Its their sloppiest, drunkest, funniest, best sounding recording ever with new versions of old songs, rare songs and they even made sure not to play any songs off their 1995 live album I Heard They Suck Live!!. Theyve Actually Gotten Worse Live is scheduled to make the walk of shame into record stores sometime in November.
On October 3, 2007 the band released the track listing for the album, which includes many rarities and alternate versions of previously released songs.

Lyrical Changes:
In “Franco Un-American”, Fat Mike replaces “Public Enemy and Reagan Youth” with “The Dead Kennedys and Wasted Youth.”
Also in “Franco Un-American”, Fat Mike adds an extra verse over the bridge, directly criticizing George W. Bush. The verse is similar to the verse he sang when the band played the song on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The verse added in this song is as follows, “We all know George Bush is an imbecile, he loves Dick, but he hates homosexuals. I’m sick and tired, of the embarrassment, the whole world wants us to kill our fucking (scratch).”
In “Whats The Matter With Parents Today?”, Fat Mike changes the line “having sex publicly” to “having sex anally.” The line “I thought the apple fell far from the tree” is changed to “The asshole fell far from the tree,” and “On the couch, with my Misfits records out” is changed to “On the lawn, with My Chemical Romance on.”
The intro to “Murder the Government” was modified to make disparaging references to Dick Cheney, and Jenna, Barbara, and George W. Bush.
The last few lines of the “The Longest Line” are changed to “Do you have the time/To listen to me whine?”, a line from Green Days “Basket Case.”
In “Whoops I OD’d,” the line “Assholes like to test the limit” is changed to “Golfers like to test the limit” in reference to an incident where a friend of the bands OD’d on a golf course on the morning of the show.
“The Longest Line” verse “This world is much too dangerous for someone lacking luck like me” changed to “This world is much too dangerous for someone whos as drunk as me”

A sequel to their first live album, I HEARD THEY SUCK LIVE,THEY’VE ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE represents a kind of victory lap for long-running slob-punks NOFX. They’ve been together for a seeming eternity in a genre that doesn’t always treasure longevity, evolving into both elder statesman of and political conscience to a scene full of kids. The joke of the title, of course, is that the band sounds as tight and energized as veteran players should sound. The lowbrow anthem “Amy is a Crack Whore” and reggae rave-up “Beat the Meek” sound perfectly at home next to political screeds “Murder the Government” and “Yer Wrong”. Really, it all just sounds like NOFX.
————————————————-
Good live album – lots of joking between Mike Melvin and Hefe. Not many songs are repeated from the first official live album I heard they suck live – which is good, only Stickin in my eye
——————————————————
5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a great follow up to their previous live album ‘I Heard They Suck Live’. It is fully loaded with adrenaline pumping punk songs that you can tell get the crowd going. Fan favourites are on the CD but it also includes six songs in 8 minutes which is a nice touch. The music quality is good and they do not sound sloppy. The best bit, has to be the encore, The Decline. What a way to end an album. It is also packed with humor.
