'''Eric Scott Melvin''', sometimes called '''Melvin''' for short, is the rhythm [[guitar]]ist in the [[California]] punk band [[NOFX]]. He has been in the band from its beginnings in the early 1980s to the present day. Eric has been known for his [[dreadlocks]] that vary in color each time NOFX performs. Though most recognized for his ability to play the guitar, Melvin can also play the [[accordion]].
The preceding year is [[1 BC]] in the widely used [[Gregorian calendar]] or in its predecessor, the Julian calendar, neither of which has a "[[Year zero]]".


In the first episode of the NOFX world tour show on the [[Fuse TV]][[ Network]], Mike "Fat Mike" Burkett said that although he, El Hefe, and Eric Sanden have all gotten better, Melvin still continues to play at the same level he did when the band first started.
