Official Sum 41 Thread

[TheBassicBassist]

I like all of their videos, they are really funny.

yeah man, especially at the end of Still Waiting when they start to break everything for no reason.

[TheBassicBassist]

yeah, they've got some good videos. they had like 3 versions of makes no difference...
then fat lip, in too deep, motivation, what we're all about, still waiting, hell song, over my head, little know it all, we're all to blame, and pieces.
did i miss any?
i've liked every one of them. we're all to blame was a little weird though.

I think they had 2 versions of Makes No Difference. But I could be wrong. I haven't seen the one's for Little Know It All or Pieces, but I mean too.

[himynameistweek]

there were basically 2 but they had a "censored" and "raw" version of one of them. the differences were more than that, though. they actually had some different footage.

[TheBassicBassist]

I think I know what your talking about now. I'm pretty sure I've seen all three.

[bassist_for_a_band]

i saw the house party version of makes no difference, but not any others... i miss kazaa

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Does anyone else think that track 10 (i forget the name) on Chuck sounds kinda like The Offspring?

the guitar is similiar to "all i want" (one of my favorite songs of all time, that's weird because my 2 favorite bands are sum 41 and the offspring)

[hopeulikemygenocide]

I went to the Sum 41 concert in Hawaii on the 9th. Best night of my life. When Deryck walked on stage and yelled "We are Sum 41!" I almost cried. :p But yeah the concert was great. The set list was awesome. It satisfied old and new fans. I was right up front. Cone spit on me! It was so awesome.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Oh yeah 88 was the best live. It was so awesome. I didn't think they would play the last part of the song (the losing control part) but they did. Sounded perfect. I also liked Moron live, mainly 'cus it was the first time hearing it live.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Oh and for those of you who haven't heard Moron, it's on the Rock Against Bush cd. I just posted 4 times in a row. I'll stop now.

[TheBassicBassist]

so do I, but now there's LimeWire :D

[TheBassicBassist]

I really need to try and get into The Offspring, but I have too many bands to get into right now, I don't have money :upset:

[TheBassicBassist]

omg man, I get to see them later, I hope its that awesome (which I know it will be)

[TheBassicBassist]

Oh yeah 88 was the best live. It was so awesome. I didn't think they would play the last part of the song (the losing control part) but they did. Sounded perfect. I also liked Moron live, mainly 'cus it was the first time hearing it live.

they do 88 live??? man, my hopes are rising

[TheBassicBassist]

Oh and for those of you who haven't heard Moron, it's on the Rock Against Bush cd. I just posted 4 times in a row. I'll stop now.

Rock Against Bush Vol. 1 to be exact, not the second one. dude, post as many times as you want, nobody cares :thumb:

[bassist_for_a_band]

gosh i can not wait until this concert
only one month and im goin nuts

[DJ Ducksauce]

Rock Against Bush Vol. 1 to be exact, not the second one. dude, post as many times as you want, nobody cares I'm pretty sure the mods would, but whatever.

[SongsWithDistortion]

^ yeah Cone never sings on the albums, but he'll do backup live. Anyway, i haven't been a huge fan of sum 41 until recently. i just couldn't get into all killer, but now with the new single and hearing stuff from DTLI, i really like them again. which cd would you suggest to get first, DTLI or Chuck?

Defently DTLI its got The Hell Song, Still Waiting, Mr Abmsterdam (how ever you spell it) and they do all sing in that song , and Cone sings back up on Still Waiting in the choruses and Verses, and Hooch those are all the good ones but i also really like the interlude to No Brains

Chuck is ok my favorite song is No Reason and next would be We're' All To Blame and im not into Bitter End at all. the lyrics just dont feel right the music good

Oh anyone know if they are coming to Georgia any time soon i noticed they never came here in their past tours according to their web site

[SongsWithDistortion]

Oh and for those of you who haven't heard Moron, it's on the Rock Against Bush cd. I just posted 4 times in a row. I'll stop now.

Moron is one hell of a kick *** song esp the bass. i love the way and starts and the chorus. and for those who dont want to waste there money on a CD with one song they want go to www.limewire.com DL it and look up moron oh and person looking for older verison of Makes No Differnce its on lime wire to it has everything you can live videos to and it aint illegal

[SongsWithDistortion]

dude thats not fair at all, I'm gonna go out and buy another copy of Chuck and get that making of video

no just go to the web site for free

[jeff himself]

hey i dont think this is the right place for help but it is a sum 41 thread so here i go.. im trying to learn the hell song on my electric guitar but i cant get the solo down mainly the hammering any tips

[SongsWithDistortion]

hey i dont think this is the right place for help but it is a sum 41 thread so here i go.. im trying to learn the hell song on my electric guitar but i cant get the solo down mainly the hammering any tips

that was the first solo i learned use this tab
http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,s,1324,Sum+41,Hell+So ng,64496 its correct some of its timing is a little bit odd but if you got the CD it should help when it comes to hammering well you play the note before it and then slam your finger on the next note or fret and to practice try hitting it alot of times over and over again it should help with your speed and accuracy

[SongsWithDistortion]

there were basically 2 but they had a "censored" and "raw" version of one of them. the differences were more than that, though. they actually had some different footage.

its of them in a walmart and all and at a school concert it was before they were signed

[hopeulikemygenocide]

they do 88 live??? man, my hopes are rising

Yeah man I was surprised too. I really wish they would've played Mr. Amsterdam but it was still awesome. You're going to have so much fun. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Moron is one hell of a kick *** song esp the bass. i love the way and starts and the chorus. and for those who dont want to waste there money on a CD with one song they want go to www.limewire.com DL it and look up moron oh and person looking for older verison of Makes No Differnce its on lime wire to it has everything you can live videos to and it aint illegal

Yeah limewire rules. That's where I got my Moron. :thumb:

[himynameistweek]

its of them in a walmart and all and at a school concert it was before they were signed
yes it was. and the parking lot of a movie theater, i believe. i dont have it anymore, i dont remember in full detail.

[bassist_for_a_band]

what do you mean limewire is legal? if you download music on the internet without paying for it, its illegal DUH. then only legal ones are iTunes and napster

and better yet go to www.kazaa.com and download that

[SongsWithDistortion]

what do you mean limewire is legal? if you download music on the internet without paying for it, its illegal DUH. then only legal ones are iTunes and napster

and better yet go to www.kazaa.com and download that

[himynameistweek]

Hey I was listening to Half Hower of Power... I noticed, the intro/beginning of Fat Lip sounds like part of Grab The Devil By The Horns And **** Him Up The ***, but slower.

[SongsWithDistortion]

Hey I was listening to Half Hower of Power... I noticed, the intro/beginning of Fat Lip sounds like part of Grab The Devil By The Horns And **** Him Up The ***, but slower.

the rythm or lead?

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Hey I was listening to Half Hower of Power... I noticed, the intro/beginning of Fat Lip sounds like part of Grab The Devil By The Horns And **** Him Up The ***, but slower.

Are you talking about the intro? If so, I see what you mean. It's kind of played in the same pattern but only a little bit.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Which is better in your opinion: Some Say or Handle This? I'm undecided because I love them both so much. If you guys have any other similiar Sum songs you would like to compare I'd love to participate.

[himynameistweek]

on those tab books they do condensed versions that the band doesn't even write. they're not even perfect. learn to play by ear, the songs from the first 2 CDs are easy to figure out.

[himynameistweek]

and dave doesn't sing on never wake up, other than ooooooooh in the background.

[SongsWithDistortion]

and dave doesn't sing on never wake up, other than ooooooooh in the background.

then who does it defently isnt Deryck

[SongsWithDistortion]

Which is better in your opinion: Some Say or Handle This? I'm undecided because I love them both so much. If you guys have any other similiar Sum songs you would like to compare I'd love to participate.

Handle This

[benbenben]

Handle This

id say 'some say'

[SongsWithDistortion]

id say 'some say'

the only thing about Handle This i dont like is the outro thingy its ok but it couldve been better and some say just has to much effects i like solid guitar playing more than a suped special effect song

[SongsWithDistortion]

on those tab books they do condensed versions that the band doesn't even write. they're not even perfect. learn to play by ear, the songs from the first 2 CDs are easy to figure out.

ya we noticed some stuff is wrong so we play it our esp Stil Waiting we got the Best Of Sum 41 we thought it was really messed up according to it but they arent condensed they are the whole songs with all the intruments i didnt really look at any of the solos cuase i liked the way i played already

[still waiting41]

i think it was exploding vaginas or something

[SongsWithDistortion]

anyone sles live in georgia coem to the Tabernacle its Sum 41 Unwritten Law and Hawthorne Heights :thumb: :evil:

[SongsWithDistortion]

i think it was exploding vaginas or something

awesome

[SongsWithDistortion]

this thread is kinda dead

[SongsWithDistortion]

you guys should listen to Unwritten Law California Sky the verses kick *** and what songs do sum 41 play live usually liek what do they always play no matter what

[metal_milita]

hey, back to the sum41 thread. internet went downfor a while
anyways, noticing bassicbassist isn't around, what happened? he had 80% of the posts on any pages, this worries me.

but anways, man, the video for pieces is awsome. it makes the song seem so much better also. very VERY sadly, its the most meaningfull video i've seen in a while, and i DONT live in a bad neighbourhood. meh, go figure.

but anyways, I cross my fingers everyday that bitter end or 88 will be their next singles, they haven't released ONE single with a decent solo.
Plus the video would kick ***.
Again, should i send forhelp to find bassicbassist? has he been kidnapped or somethin, since when did he stop posting here. probably a simpleplan fan beating him to death. **** queers.

[metal_milita]

Hey I was listening to Half Hower of Power... I noticed, the intro/beginning of Fat Lip sounds like part of Grab The Devil By The Horns And **** Him Up The ***, but slower.

thats bs. they're not even written in the same scale even if the key could have been different. If your trying to say playing moderatly fast notes up and sort of down a scale (in different patterns and sequences) are the same, you're not very musically 'learned.'
Not that writing in the same scale makes a song good or bad. Look at metallica, mainly all of their good songs are written in the E scale without getting repepitive or old.

[himynameistweek]

then who does it defently isnt Deryck
what? yes it is, he sounds the same as he always does, and i've seen him sing it live...

[TheBassicBassist]

hey, back to the sum41 thread. internet went downfor a while
anyways, noticing bassicbassist isn't around, what happened? he had 80% of the posts on any pages, this worries me.

I'm still around, I was just gone for 1 1/2 days and a few guys went on a post rampage, so I'm not even going to try and respond to all of them, just the ones that are important. I'll be back on my little runs soon enough I do suppose. Thanks for noticing though :thumb:

[SongsWithDistortion]

what? yes it is, he sounds the same as he always does, and i've seen him sing it live...

well ive always been told and read it was Dave but if you say so.....

[hopeulikemygenocide]

what? yes it is, he sounds the same as he always does, and i've seen him sing it live...

Yeah you're right it is Deryck. You can tell it is in the recorded and version and yes I have seen him do it live as well. He doesn't play guitar in it live.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

you guys should listen to Unwritten Law California Sky the verses kick *** and what songs do sum 41 play live usually liek what do they always play no matter what

I'm pretty sure I know what songs they're going to play and the exact order and stuff but I'm not going to tell you. Let it be a surprise. I'll tell you one thing, they're most likely not going to play In Too Deep. All their other singles they will.

[PrescribedNonsense]

A few pages back, people were discussing which songs had everyone singing. I'm suprised no one mentioned "It's What We're All About" (both versions, the one at the end of Daves Posessed hair and spiderman) but Cone doesn't sing in the Half-Hour of Power one I don't think.

I'm so happy that my little Sums are growing up. I bought HHOP around the time of it's release, and everyone either had no idea who they were or hated them.

[SongsWithDistortion]

I'm pretty sure I know what songs they're going to play and the exact order and stuff but I'm not going to tell you. Let it be a surprise. I'll tell you one thing, they're most likely not going to play In Too Deep. All their other singles they will.

well i just hope they play Over My Head thats the song that got me into Sum 41 heard it at a dance

[theclash91]

they have very catchy songs

my favorites are

Still waiting
over my head
in too deep
heart attack

[bassist_for_a_band]

Deryck sings in never wake up... who else would sing? and hes kinda umm the vocalist

and all im sayin about fat lip and grab the devil is how in the intro to fat lip, they play three lower notes than a high one, and in the middle of grab the devil they play three lower notes then a high one, but faster, and diff. notes
im just sayin that they are kinda alike


and whats wrong about the tab books? my friend got The Best of Sum 41, which has stuff form AKNF and DTLI, and everything in it sounds right... I know Motivation and In Too Deep are, or at least, the bass parts are... But most of the other songs sounded right, too

[SongsWithDistortion]

agreed

[SongsWithDistortion]

i know alot of people like In To Deep but i wasnt into it that much after a few weeks of hearing it but i do like how they play that song in movies and all its nice to know that they are still popular in the music industry.........i think i worded that right atleast

[hopeulikemygenocide]

i know alot of people like In To Deep but i wasnt into it that much after a few weeks of hearing it but i do like how they play that song in movies and all its nice to know that they are still popular in the music industry.........i think i worded that right atleast

You're refering to the new Ashton Kutcher movie, am I right? I mean I know that isn't the only movie that's had it but I saw the trailer for it just recently and jammed to In Too Deep for a couple seconds.

[himynameistweek]

every movie ashton kutcher is in has in too deep.

[SongsWithDistortion]

every movie ashton kutcher is in has in too deep.

i thik hes right maybe he requests it

i saw that and it reminded me that ive heard it in others

[hopeulikemygenocide]

What I Believe was in Dude, Where's My Car

What I Believe was in Dude, Where's My Car

i really like the riff in that song

K i sorta see where your trying to come from, but NO. Say that to anyone else and they'll laugh at you.
1. Fat Lip, the first 3 notes are played, and they skip to a note about 3 steps up.
Grab the Devil.... plays just the C minor scale (I think) up and down with all consecutives notes, no skipping.
2. Thats the worst basis to set a comparison for. Thats like saying the chorus of fatlip and the intro to Still Waiting sound the same because they use power chords.

Just a little lesson for next time (Trust me, I'm in IB music)

[metal_milita]

lol the trailer to Ong Back (COME SEE IT THO WE SHOW U CRAPPY MOVES AND LOW BUDGET FILM, BUT NO STRINGS ATTATCHED! (prolly cudn't afford those)) used Bitter End.

[metal_milita]

I'm still around, I was just gone for 1 1/2 days and a few guys went on a post rampage, so I'm not even going to try and respond to all of them, just the ones that are important. I'll be back on my little runs soon enough I do suppose. Thanks for noticing though :thumb:

All of us Sum fans will miss you. :upset: Hey this is my 41st post! :thumb:

[himynameistweek]

i was watching the ashley simpson show yesterday (yeah that's right, *******) and she went on the show "top of the pops" and sang live. sum 41 has been on twice, and lip synched both times. what the ****? ashley simpson.... sum 41.... ashley simpson..... sum 41.... WHAT?
that pissed me off...

[deadfoot123]

sum 41 is from canada?

[TheBassicBassist]

Yeah, they're canadian, I'm surprised there was still anyone that didn't know that

[TheBassicBassist]

All of us Sum fans will miss you. :upset: Hey this is my 41st post! :thumb:

thanks man, I appreciate it. I don't remember what my 41st post was, I don't think I was paying any attention at all. hmm....

I thought someone would probably've thought it funny that I signed off from a post...:lol:

[TheBassicBassist]

i was watching the ashley simpson show yesterday (yeah that's right, *******) and she went on the show "top of the pops" and sang live. sum 41 has been on twice, and lip synched both times. what the ****? ashley simpson.... sum 41.... ashley simpson..... sum 41.... WHAT?
that pissed me off...

I don't like her or her sister, and I had no idea that Sum 41 even thought about lip synching. That sucks. Maybe its because Derycks vocals ruptured, I woner if he's gottne better yet.

[bassist_for_a_band]

No, Sum 41 is from New Zealand... DUH theyre canadian


man i cannot wait until this concert

[metal_milita]

I don't like her or her sister, and I had no idea that Sum 41 even thought about lip synching. That sucks. Maybe its because Derycks vocals ruptured, I woner if he's gottne better yet.
nope, they lip synched (the entire song was just a backtrack, plus instruments) because they had faulty wires i believe.

[himynameistweek]

nope, they lip synched (the entire song was just a backtrack, plus instruments) because they had faulty wires i believe.
i don't think that's it, they've done it twice. and it's a show that people regularly lip synch on. i think that was just the plan.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

i don't think that's it, they've done it twice. and it's a show that people regularly lip synch on. i think that was just the plan.

Yeah there is a lot of lip synching on top of the pops but I saw The Offsrping do Original Prankster on it and they weren't lip synching. Well a lot of the background vocals were synched but you could tell Dexter was singing. Oh well Sum 41 doesn't lip synch at concerts so that's all that matters.

[Virus278]

how can u be 100% certain whether someone was lipsinking or not? - like Offspring could just be really good at lipsinking right?

[guitarist.kid]

I would juste like to ask all of you if you really consider Sum 41 as pop-punk? For me, before Chuck they were punk but now they play good rock so what do you think?

[Permanent Solution]

I would juste like to ask all of you if you really consider Sum 41 as pop-punk? For me, before Chuck they were punk but now they play good rock so what do you think?
They were pop-punk for AKNF and HHoP, but for DTLI and Chuck they were more metal-influenced.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Did anyone see them perform "Pieces" on the Ellen Degeneres Show? It was pretty good. Deryck played the piano instead of guitar. I had no idea he could!

[bassist_for_a_band]

Did anyone see them perform "Pieces" on the Ellen Degeneres Show? It was pretty good. Deryck played the piano instead of guitar. I had no idea he could!
i watched thursday. i thought it was thursday. then i looked on the site and it was friday. i forgot to put it on friday, i saaw the last five minutes. :'(

[himynameistweek]

****, i missed it. i meant to watch, but i went on a road trip thursday. and i guess it got changed, cause it was scheduled for thursday, so i thought i missed it :( i'll download it though. and yeah, they played it onletterman and deryck played piano there too.
and i always just refer to sum 41 as a rock band now. i think that's about the best label you can give them. they're pretty diverse.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

how can u be 100% certain whether someone was lipsinking or not? - like Offspring could just be really good at lipsinking right?

Well I'm not 100% sure but I don't know you could just tell.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Did anyone see them perform "Pieces" on the Ellen Degeneres Show? It was pretty good. Deryck played the piano instead of guitar. I had no idea he could!

I missed Ellen but I saw them do it on Letterman, Kimmel, and Leno, all with piano. I also have some concert vids where Deryck played piano. That's why I was surprised at the concert I went to, he played guitar instead of piano. I was so happy because I think it sounds much better with guitar.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

I would juste like to ask all of you if you really consider Sum 41 as pop-punk? For me, before Chuck they were punk but now they play good rock so what do you think?

I don't consider them as pop punk at all anymore. That's why I get so mad when they're still refered to as pop-punk. If you listen to what everybody calls pop-punk and think Sum 41 is then you're just plain dumb. So yes I agree with you I think they're just a rock band with some metal elements.

[GoTeam]

so then why is this thread in the "pop punk" forum and not in the "rock" forum?

[DJ Ducksauce]

They started off Pop-punk, and the The R&M forum probably wouldn't take to them very nicely.

[himynameistweek]

so then why is this thread in the "pop punk" forum and not in the "rock" forum?
people under the age of 30 like them. that's a big no-no.

[TheBassicBassist]

I tried to start a thread about Sum 41 in the Punk forum and it just died and was dumb and there is a Sum 41 thread in the Rock & Metal forum called Sum 41 Anyone? or something like that and it isn't doing so well, so in conclusion most of the Sum 41 fans hang out in here and so thats where this is.

[TheBassicBassist]

this is my 1,000'th post and I want it to mean something so it's going in here. You guys rock :thumb:

Meh, the way I see it, Pop-Punk is probably the genre I listen to most, soI come here, but I also like it here because there are less elitists here than in most of the other forums. Apart from Alt/Indie, the guys there are cool (not as cool as the pop-punkers though :p), just I prefer the music here :)

I only found this section now. I'm usually in R&M, but I love Green Day, Sum 41, and Blink-182.

My band's going to play Hell Song, its really simple and sounds cool.

There was a band who played that last year at my school. It was pretty good.

That's one of my favorite songs to play with my band. We also do Pieces and Still Waiting quite a bit.

[TheBassicBassist]

My band's going to play Hell Song, its really simple and sounds cool.

the bass part is harder than it sounds, I mean, I'm not saying its hard or anything, I can play it easily, but its not just straight eighth notes, it actually has some substance. my brother and I play it alot, he's a guitarist and he plays the solo

[daveblinkkid]

http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0X8W8ZMV16C60YXH6SPHW0EWZ
proud of it.

that was random. but i just wanna flaunt it :D (even thought im modest... yes)

[brokeN__souNd]

hey everyone.. im new here and i dont know what im doing.. help!

[BassPlayer222]

Sum 41 old stuff was pretty good...but now there trying to be metal and theyve sold out alot....wut kind of punk lead singer dates a poser like avril?.....and anyone who has green day, blink, and sum 41 in there favorite bands needs to stop watching MTV (and that also goes from every human alive that watches the suckass poser channel we call Music Television.)

[Coma_Girl]

they're not sellouts.they always listened to metal so its kinda normal that they sound a lot like metal now that they decided to do whatever the **** they want.

you should never mix an artist's personal life with his career.it has absolutly nothing to do with his music.

i'm sure you discovered them on MTV so shut the **** up.

thanks.

really?

Deffinatly Dookie...without a doudt.....got me into punk rock in general....from the first power chord to the last walking bass line its a great album....deffinatly one of the most influential of the 90's and still is having a huge imapct today....it brought punk out of the underground in the 90's....whether thats good or bad is up for debate...but the point is...Dookie is a great punk album and Green Day is a great punk band

what a jackass
just because sum 41 doesn't play your little poppy green day **** anymore doesn't mean they sold out. quite the opposite, actually. they're enjoying their music now more than ever.
grow the **** up.

Avril is sexy, that's why he's dating her, and your just a moron, I think that the others are right about you

[GoTeam]

^^^agreed, and since when does dating anyone define who YOU are?

[mardelst]

I'm going to see them in about 10 minutes, at the JLC in London.

[GoTeam]

yeah the show was orginally dated on feb the 2 i think but then it was cancelled because of deryk's throat. so i had to wait like two months more for the rescheduled show.

rolling on the floor laughing my ****ing *** off

[TheBassicBassist]

rolling on the floor laughing my ****ing *** off

oh, nice

[bassist_for_a_band]

OH MY ****ING GOSH THAT CONCERT KICKED SO MUCH ***

we got there late and dind't see hawthorne heights, but got to see unwriteen law.... they were sweet

anyway,


first, they had this hugeass sheet. they played a video of sum 41. steve and cone are playing basketball, and cone wins. steve kicks his *** and chops him up. deryck and dave come over and say whats for dinner. steve says YOU

They started with The Hell Song. I don't remember the exact order, but they played A.N.I.C. (Anna Nicole is a Cunt), Never Wake Up, Motivation, Fat Lip, Makes No Difference, Grab The Devil By The Horns and **** Him Up The ***, Machine Gun, Welcome To Hell, Intro/No Reason, We're All To Blame, The Bitter End, Some Say, My Direction, and a few others that I can't remember... It was so ****ing awesome seeing them live... They were going nuts and all sorts of ****
and deryck was yelling and talkin and **** it was awesome... at one point, hes just like "bye" and they walked off... then they played the intro song (cd) and came out to play no reason
and after ANIC he said Anna nicole can never wake up then they played never wake up... but i think he sang something different than the AKNF song

lol cone was throwin his bass around but they guy there caught em and stuff
like, when he switched basses
i wish i had joined the goon platoon, i woulda been able to seem them after the show and stuff... but im gonna join next week i hope
there were some ****ing hot chicks... but a lot of them smoked

the bad parts being people smoked and drank and ****... people had weed and it smelled so bad... i've never held my breath that long ever.... poeple were throwing bottles but they were all plastic...
i woulda got a shirt and all but the lines were long and i was gonna save my money... and, my friends dad who was there said i could get one online for like half the price
surprisingly, it wasn't that mad to stand forever... i thought it'd be bad but i was fine

lol driving away we had to go slow, so we blasted fat lip and rolled down the windows... everyone was pointing and waving and ****


lol it was just so awesome... its hard to even really say nething

[bassist_for_a_band]

oh yea and they played never wake up, nothing on my back, no brains, slipping away i think...

[himynameistweek]

... have you never been to a show before?

[bassist_for_a_band]

Nope. And I sure as hell plan on going to the next one.

[Sum 41]

Im geting a DVD of sum's concert in tokyo (I think its called "go chuck yourself" lol) its good, they rip on anna nicole smith and derek plays guitar with his teeth.

[Sum 41]

Oh and i just bought the best of sum 41 officail tab book so if you want to learn the officail guitar, bass or drum tabs for the following song let me know and I'll see if i can scan them or some thing.

Fat Lip
Still Waiting
Heart Attack
In Too Deep
Motivation
Pain For Pleasure
The Hell Song
Mr. Amsterdam
No Brains
Over My Head (Better Off Dead)

unfortunatly no Chuck

[4timesaday]

i think dave baksh is one of the best guitarist in pop punk today.... (although are sum41 even pop punk anymore... there kinda pop metal punk..????).... . anyway does anyone agree that its his guitar playing that divides sum41 from anything else in the genre..... and this goes to show that whatever you are initially influnced by can highly effect how you play in the future.... he was and still is a big iron maiden and anthrax fan.... and its easy to see how he tries to get that out in sum41 without over doing it too much....

[bassist_for_a_band]

yea, he said ANIC is anna nicole is a cunt and said its about a stupid blonde, and **** like that
yea that was sweet, deryck playin guitar with his teeth or tongue or w/e

yea my friend got that tab book... its got AKNF and DTLI... its pretty **** sweet


lol hell yea dave's one of the best... u shoulda seen him live

but i think they're kinda rock/punk... they liked people like maiden and priest (as said in fat lip lol), elvis costello, the beatles...

[hopeulikemygenocide]

i was pretty phsyced (sp?) after my first sum 41 show too. you're lucky you got to see them play the bitter end. they had pretty much the same set list at the show i went to but with some minor differences. but yeah sum 41 puts on a great show.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

oh yeah and i didnt get to see hawthorne heights or unwritten law either. i live in hawaii so the opener was a local ska band named upstanding youth. they were ok.

[4timesaday]

does anybody no where i can get a biography on the band

like i wana no things like:

-when they started playing their instruments
-their first gig
-how they got signed etc.............

[bassist_for_a_band]

does anybody no where i can get a biography on the band

[bassist_for_a_band]

yea and when they started the concert stevo was standing on the riser with a bloddy apron and a chainsaw and stuff... then when he was singing pain for pleasure he had cone come by then he was pretending to **** him lol

but they didn't do the dance for makes no difference...
oh yea, and they said makes no difference was for "the old school sum 41 fans"

it was all just really awesome....


and too bad the goon platoon membership is only for a year... 20 bucks aint much though

[4timesaday]

its kinda strange readin that stuff ..especially at the end "good luck sum41, your gona need it"

also all this info is 4 years old... but all the same thanks for diggin up something

Old school Sum41 > New school.

Thats fans, music, everything.

[bassist_for_a_band]

yea... AKNF was the best cd ever, and probably will be... chuck and DTLI were good, but too rock-ish... i always thought of sum 41 as punk rockers... HHOP was pretty awesome too... i just wish they'd go back to the young immature punkish kinda thing...

[mr black]

hey people, i had to search for this forum coz ive never come in the pop/punk one. but my mate put me onto the bitter end, 88, angels with dirty faces... at first i was sceptical because id heard all their other 'IMO' crap like in to deep. but now my eyes have been opened, i cant help but feel that they were always this hard and only made their first album because they knew itd make them million's. peace people im back to the rock/metal forums

[thisistj]

saw sum 41 last night

show was unbelievable, probably one of the best ive been to.

[bassist_for_a_band]

wtf are you smoking.

everyone thinks their first two cd's were the best. well not everyone, but almost everyone i've ever heard. they were never really rock or anything until like 2000 or 2001 (dtli)
there is no way they liked and played rock, yet had two punk albums, both of which kicked ***. fat lip made them who they are. they were young and immature and had fun and ****. now theyre older and now they play rock and stuff

[TheBassicBassist]

Im geting a DVD of sum's concert in tokyo (I think its called "go chuck yourself" lol) its good, they rip on anna nicole smith and derek plays guitar with his teeth.

I think it's called "Make Some Noize" and I want to get it too. Nice name too dude. Congratulations on n00b-hood. Have fun.

[TheBassicBassist]

Old school Sum41 > New school.

Thats fans, music, everything.

I think it's all amazing like none other.

[TheBassicBassist]

I'm going to the show in two days. I invited my cousin Michael and he doesn't like them because he is a hardcore metal head so I owe him a dollar. It's gonna be so great.

[TheBassicBassist]

Okay. I saw them last night. I don't have time to post anything right now, so go to http://www.xanga.com/TheBassicBassist that's my blog and you can read what I put on it and stuff. I was in 10 mosh pits bitch

[highwaychild377]

sum 41 is sweet. chuck is sweet. i think dave could replace one of the guys in iron maiden if he wanted to. woot

[hopeulikemygenocide]

I love all Sum 41's music but it seems like their choice in what kind of music they play evolved with my taste in music, which is why they are still my favorite band to this day. IMO, dtli and chuck were their best. And in 2000 and 2001 they were still "punkish", considering HHOP was 2000 and AKNF was 2001. DTLI came out in 2002.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

sum 41 is sweet. chuck is sweet. i think dave could replace one of the guys in iron maiden if he wanted to. woot

Right on. I think Dave is definitely one of the best guitarists out of all the modern bands.

oh yea, ok.... but i always thought HHOP was 99, but i think thats like when they started or w/e

i mean 2003, when DTLI came out....

obviously we can tell why they weren't heard from much.... AKNF in 2001 and DTLI in 2003, but not much in between

[metal_milita]

Woah this thread has lot more posters now.

I remember in its wee days it was just bassicbassist and......... that was it haha. But man, Im same as hopeulikemygenocide, Sum41 is growing with my musical tastes also. It prolly fits because back in Fatlip days, only 9-16 year olds liked it, so now when they play metal and rock, the 9-16 year olds are like 13-19~ year olds and like metal because its better (IMO)

Whatever happend to StoneHenge1, we miss you pal, you were a great guy and an inspiration to all who loved Sum 41. *moment of silence for lost loved ones*.

did anyone read my review on the concert?

yeah that's true. even when i went to there concert a few weeks back, i saw some fans there who were in there thirties!

[bassist_for_a_band]

yea when i went to the concert there were people of all ages

and i know a lot were older cuz they all drank and smoked


but there were some hot chicks my age....

[AlkoholikMouse]

The best thing about Sum 41 is that they can do anything they want, and get away with it, mostly because it's cool. They can do immature pop-punk, they can do metal, they can play anything. They're excellent musicians too. On thier first CD, the opening track 'Grab The Devil By The Horns...' the sheer musical talent there is amazing. Especially as they were so young when they wrote it.

Half Hour Of Power is their best CD in my opinion, although I havent really heard much of Chuck.

yea grab the devil by the horns is awesome.... i was surprised when they played it at the show a few weeks back
they played like all the good stuff, i was surprised they had any of it in 'em... machine gun, grab the devil by the horns, makes no difference, nothing on my back, fat lip, motivation, hell song, anic, no reason, were all to blame, no brains
and a lot more

its almost amazing how they can remember it all good, and still play it so great
i love Sum 41....

it'd be awesome to join the goon platoon and see them after a show... i definitely want to ask why they went from punk and stuff to rock and metal... and what they did between AKNF and DTLI

[TheBassicBassist]

they watched alot of horror movies while they were making DTLI and they were on tour when they wrote it, so they were in a different mood and they stuck on rock after that.

I went to a concert here a week ago, it was amazing.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Since a lot of the people who post in here have gone to Sum 41 shows lately, did Sum play the extended interlude during No Brains? Because at Hard Rock Live and at the concert I went to in Hawaii (the end of their tour in Japan), they extened the interlude on both No Brains and Nothing on My Back. They were really awesome.

[TheBassicBassist]

I don't think that they extended any of their songs, but I was moshing the whole time, so I wasn't really paying that close of attention to the structure of the songs, sorry

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Haha well I was moshing at first but these two really obese people were suffocating me so I found a calmer spot. The view was great and it was semi-calm so I could soak in the songs.

[TheBassicBassist]

yeah, what I don't get is that they did The Bitter End twice, and didn't do Welcom To Hell at all. it was really annoying, but I can forgive them, because they did 88.

[chops]

i was kind of upset that they didn't play the bitter end when i saw them, but they did play 88!

[bassist_for_a_band]

Yea I think they extended some parts sometimes.... They'd keep playing a part and Deryck would say something
Or the beginning of motivation steveo was playing the hihats and snare and kept playin it while deryck said sumthin else then they went into the song, or sumthin like that

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Man they played Welcome to Hell at the show I went to. Cone looked awesome when he was doing the bass solo. And in the little feedback interlude part, the lighting was so cool it made everything seem really slow. But I didn't get to see them play The Bitter End. How was it live?

[TheBassicBassist]

dang, they played it twice for me

it was amazing, when dave did the solos = omg!!! I wish they did Welcome To Hell dangit. I wanted to see cone get in his pride

[lstprphtspnk12]

are they good live? im going to one of their shows

[ed4182]

does anyone have any recent setlists from sum 41? i seen em twice now, both were amazing... i saw them on the tour they did just before Chuck came out and they played The Bitter End, Welcome To Hell and 1 or 2 other new songs it was great

[hopeulikemygenocide]

are they good live? im going to one of their shows

They're awesome live. They have improved so much since AKNF days. You should have heard 88 at the show I went to. It sounded almost exactly like the recorded version. Either Sum was really on their game that night or they're just good all the time.

[Uncle RicO]

I just got a new Marshall MG 250 DFX...starting to think it was a bad decision but anyhow I want it to sound like a poopy punk, kinda like the used, greenday, blink, my chemical romance, sum 41 etc. ...so if any of you could tell me how to set up the equalizer...it has gain, bass, contour, and treble settings..and the same thing on the clean channel...please help me out here, arite thanks.

[TheBassicBassist]

when they performed 88 live at the concert I went to I almost died, it was perfect, I stinking loved being at that concert

it's kind of hard to give you settings really because every band you listed all use different settings. I would suggest finding what sounds good to you.

don't use the distortion on thatamp. you won't get decent tones with it. sorry to tell you, but that amp is not very good at all.

[atticus kid 182]

1 of the best bands but i think they were better with the pop-punk genre, though chuck is pretty cool (What we´re all about rocks!!!)

[hopeulikemygenocide]

I've always kind of thought of What We're All About as Sum's worst song. But it's still cool, that's how good they are.

[himynameistweek]

the original "Dave's posessed hair/what we're all about" was decent. the newer one sucked. except for kerry king's solo, that was pretty badass.

[atticus kid 182]

i agree

[TheBassicBassist]

you're one of the coolest n00bs ever.

[TheBassicBassist]

I love What We're All About, it's amazing, it's the only rap I listen to, other than that one they did with Ludacris (mainly for the bass intro and dave's solo). Cone needs to get more vocal time. This is like one of the few songs he does anything in vocaly.

[chops]

well he does alot of vocals when they play live.

he doesn't sing in that... its dave, deryck, and stevo. in the non-guitar version, he does the beat-boxing. all cone ever sings is backups in fat lip, still waiting, and a few other songs. even when i saw them in concert, he barely sang.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

Cone does a lot of screaming backing vocals for songs like No Reason, Still Waiting, and We're All to Blame. When I saw them live it was really funny because Cone was spitting a lot when he was screaming "All! to! Blame!". But that's only live, I don't know about on albums.

[chops]

i'm sure he does the vocals when they all sing something like the "all to blame" line. but i think dave does most if not all the backup singing if deryk isn't using his own voice in a second track.

[TheBassicBassist]

well he does alot of vocals when they play live.

I know that, but on albums, it's almost always the other three.

[TheBassicBassist]

okey dokey, I'm pretty sure that you can hear three people singing at the exact same time in that song, and he is one of them, but I'd have to go back to it again.

[TheBassicBassist]

who has the Introduction To Destruction DVD? and no Cross Your Ts And Gouge your eyes isn't the same thing. (though I wish it was)

my ex girlfriend has it. once i come across some money i'm gonna get it. it's pretty good.

[bubs102]

did any of youse see the metallica icon thing?

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

I dislike them for that reason

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

Their metallica tribute riffs and parts get on my nerves. I hate metallica.

[himynameistweek]

i love old metallica, st anger pretty much sucks. i thought their metallica medley was pretty cool.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

I really liked the Icon medley. I think Sum 41 does Metallica better than Metallica. Well just because I like Deryck's voice better than James'. But yeah Metallica sucks anyways, only their first 3 albums were good.

[atticus kid 182]

i love old metallica, st anger pretty much sucks. i thought their metallica medley was pretty cool.
i agree. master of puppets is their best album, for me.

[Firecracker]

Master Of Puppets, For Whom The Bell Tolls and I Disappear are really the only songs by Metallica i like, if someone other than James Hetfield is singing, because i really don't like his voice.

[hopeulikemygenocide]

hey where is everyone? as soon as metallica was brought up, this thread died. let's "ressurect" it. come back basicbassist.

[TheBassicBassist]

haha, wow, good to see I'm still loved by the fans. Well, my internet was like, "hey I'm stupid and not going to work for about a month" and I was like "you stupid mofo, work now", so I'm here. I hate metallica, I liked Battery, The Battle Within (battle, struggle, whatever the thing is called) and I used to like Enter Sandman, but other than that, the guys voice does **** for their music, they got good riffs, but his voice makes me wanna kill some people. I just downloaded Sum 41's cover of Master Of Puppets from sumpieces.com and they picked it up from the solo, it was pretty cool.

[TheBassicBassist]

my ex girlfriend has it. once i come across some money i'm gonna get it. it's pretty good.

awesome man, are you talking about Jenz and whatnot? I really want that dvd, then I'm gonna get them live in Japan, the I'm gonna get the Maximum Sum 41 biography and then I think maybe the Motivation EP, then I'm pretty sure I'll have all of their publicly released junk.

[TheBassicBassist]

Okay, so I was listening to Chuck again a couple of days ago, and I forget which song it was but I heard Cone (no mistake) singing background. It couldn't have been Deryck, Dave, or Steve, the voice just wasn't right for them, it had to have been Cone, and...yeah.

[TheBassicBassist]

Right well, this post is the 1000th post, and I guess I'll go ahead and take it since I'm the oldest veteran of the Sum 41 thread. Thanks for keeping this thread alive and running. You guys are amazing. Keep on rockin'.

[Alexpc007]

Gonna see them the 10th of july. Cant wait.
Chuck is a good album, but i prefered does this look infected.

[chumpradio]

Ordered my ticket for 6th July show in Manchester.
Can't wait, I hope they only play a few of the good songs off Chuck though. I don't really like that album.
I love the other 3 though.
