Official Sum 41 Thread

[Fish]

i liked the seriousness :p

more then there old stuff

[DJ Ducksauce]

I thought they were too technical. I dunno. Didn't really care much for it.

88 is pretty sweet though.

[Fish]

yeah, i like most of the tracks. The first one with the cool intro is awesome, i thought.

[Storm In A Teacup]

What?

No. Deryck is in Sum 41.

The guy on One Tree Hill is Chad Michael-Murray. Or Chad-Michael Murray. Something like that. He's married to Sophia Bush or Sophie Bush or something like that. She's hot. She's also the one that plays the brunette on one tree hill. Brooke I think.

They got divorced because he cheated on her with Paris Hilton during that one movie they made together. :lol:

[DJ Ducksauce]

:eek:

Ian!

Where? I didn't find it in News.

/looks again

I lol'd when I read that Deryck and Paris had dated before.

[bassist_for_a_band]

I lol'd when I read that someone actually had sex with Paris under their own will

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha nice.

Her music video is almost another sex vid.

I bet she did it with that guy too after the shoot.

[Fish]

her new song rocks

[bassist_for_a_band]

I hate Paris.


The person, not the city.

[TheBassicBassist]

Not using capital letters or full stops is "stupider" I feel.

Those two fags look similar. If Henry Rollins and John Doe can do acting, there could have been the possiblity this Sum 41 person could have been the same person on that show.

I guess since i'm not the biggest Sum 41 fan EVA! I don't know all these things.

The fact that "stupider" isn't a word makes you the most stupid person ever. And don't start this ****. It's not my fault you can't tell the difference between two completely different people.

I hate Paris.


The person, not the city.

Paris Hilton is pretty much one of the bottom 10 ugliest people alive in america...if anyone finds her attractive, then they are just a desperate queerbag with the sex life of a single celled organism.

[BridgeToSolace]

The fact that "stupider" isn't a word makes you the most stupid person ever. And don't start this ****.

We aren't writing formal essays here, dumbass. We're aloud to use words in our general vernacular rather than just proper words you can find in a dictionary.

[Excursions]

Hence the use of inverted commas to display that "stupider" was used in gest as irony.

People are too serious. I asked if they were the same person because from my memory they looked similar, not everyone's a big Sum 41 fan as you proclaim yourself to be and know these things.

Hey, me and that other queer are having a battle of stupidy, that post wasn't meant for anyone to read but him, so...shut up :smoke:

wow dude...inverted commas? you continually prove yourself to be a moron, enough said, you can't win now

[DJ Ducksauce]

I invented commas. :)

I was just testing to see if you learned anything from your english teacher, carry on cobber.

[yourstruly]

Ok, **** off now if you're just gonna continue your pathetic E-fight.

I noticed on Sum 41s video for their first single Deryk has a raspier voice and on a live vid i have he sings alot smoother. Does his voice naturally roughen when he sings or does he strain it to make it like that?

[Bad Blood]

lol at bassic bassist trying to argue with adam.

Nah, he's just gotten a lot better at singing. Especially live.

[TheBassicBassist]

lol at bassic bassist trying to argue with adam.

dude, that guy hasn't said anything of worth since he got in here, and seriously...inverted commas...I cannot get over how dumb that was

[TheBassicBassist]

Answer:
wow. thanks a lot. i always write from a personal place. i don't know what the new songs will be about yet. but i can say they will all be from the heart.
answered by deryck on Thursday, July 27 , 2006 12:44 PM

hmm...I wonder if they'll all be like Pieces or 88, both I think were from the heart but one was soft and the other hardcore...I hope 88, I think it's there best song

[AZNMan#2]

I'm more of an old school Sum 41 fan myself. 88 was a good song, but it didn't stick in my head. Noots is probably my favorite song from Chuck along with Pieces.

Deryck said it'd be more classical Sum style of writing, so I'm hoping for more poppy/catchy stuff. :)

I'm anxious to hear it though.

No matter what I don't doubt that I'll love it 100% and beyond, I've always loved Sum 41, they never stop amazing me.

[TheBassicBassist]

they're in the middle of pre-production for their new album due to be released in 2007, that's all for now

[DJ Ducksauce]

Sweet.

Any word on Brown Brigade?

[MrRhodes]

Brown Brigade is a reggae influenced heavy metal band created by Dave "Brownsound" Baksh.

The existense of such a band was first made official on Thursday, May 11, 2006 when Baksh, previously a member of Canadian punk rock band Sum 41, announced he would be leaving the band that he had been a member of for the last 10 years. The split was based on the difference between the musical direction of Sum 41 and where Baksh wishes to take his young career. Brown Brigade will have a classic metal sound, which is the music that Baksh has been longing to write and play since childhood. The music of the band is expected to be comparable to the sound of Iron Maiden, says Baksh.

According to an article by the Rolling Stone in May 2006, Brown Brigade has currently recruited bassist Vaughn Lal (Dave's cousin), drummer Lee Fairlea, guitarist Craig "The Craigulator" Pattison (Dave's guitar tech with Sum 41).

Dave Baksh also stated that the band will have their own mascot much like Iron Maiden with Eddie the Head and Megadeth with Vic Rattlehead. According to Baksh the mascot will resemble a brown knight.

The band recently announced on their website that they have hired a lead singer named Travis Sanders and are currently working on a 6-song EP.

Currently the band has no record company affiliation. They are looking to release their first album in the fall of 2006, and might do some touring in the preceding summer.



Taken from wikipedia, I am very excited about this.

[Bad Blood]

I saw Avril and Deryk in a magazine the other week, on their wedding.

It was in something like "OK magazine"

[DJ Ducksauce]

Wow, Brown Brigade sounds like it'll be cool.

Ben: Haha wtf "OK magazine".

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Brown Brigade sounds awsome.

That magazine sounds Okay.

HAHAHA, YA GET IT!? OKAY!? :lol:

...Sorry, horrible joke. :upset:

[yourstruly]

So Brown Brigade are pretty sorted then. I won't like them, but it's cool that Dave is doing what he wants to do.

[MrRhodes]

I've got a feeling that Brown Brigade will either be very good or just crap because they are trying to be too much like other bands and stuff.

[TheBassicBassist]

http://www.myspace.com/theoperationmusic

Cone has a side project with some guy named Todd Morse, I don't know who he is or if he's already famous or anything, but it's called The Operation, and I don't actually like it, but some of you guys might

EDIT: oh yeah, also, for you guys looking into Brown Brigade http://www.myspace.com/brownbrigade

these songs don't have vocals, but they've found a singer and are working on an EP, personally I really like this stuff, I can't wait for the vocals

[bassist_for_a_band]

They really need to get this new CD out... I've completely lost interest and haven't listened to their music in a long time. It's all gotten old.

[MrRhodes]

They really need to get this new CD out... I've completely lost interest and haven't listened to their music in a long time. It's all gotten old.

I still like them but I really need to hear something new, even though I can't see it being great.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Ladies and gentleman,
Sorry about not updating for the past while. The five of us have been locked in my (Dave) basement recording our debut EP. This thing is raw like mad cow. We did the actual tracking in two weeks and mixed it in about a week. We're psyched and hope this can tide you over till our first full length.
I would like to personally apologize to and thank all of you that have written me. I have not had alot of time to get on the interweb to answer my e-mails and questions. It's been pretty stressful working out a few things. I hope you all understand that I had to focus on the recording. I will answer all of you as soon as I can.
One last thing. We are now in talks with Aquarius to sign a deal. They have been super cool with our creative control. It's going to be an honor to work with Donald K Donald again. Incase you don't know him Donald is the reason The Rolling Stones rehearse and love Canada. I think he is the only one that speaks Keith Richardsish his own obscure language.
Everyone Get Brown,
Brown BrigadeYay.

[TheBassicBassist]

They really need to get this new CD out... I've completely lost interest and haven't listened to their music in a long time. It's all gotten old.

I don't feel like it's gotten old, I mean, I don't listen to it them alot, because I have like hundreds of albums, but when I do listen to Sum 41 I still enjoy it tons

[TheBassicBassist]

I got bored, but it's cool

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/TheBassicBassist/Pictures%20of%20Things/Sum41.jpg

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Haha, that's actually pretty sweet. Nice job.

Haha, that's actually pretty sweet. Nice job.

yeah, Stevo took me forever compared to the rest of them

Yeah, some dude definitly did that a really long time ago. But good efforts. ;)

http://www.purevolume.com/yenchekandthedalilamas

[16 Nipples]

Yeah I always thought the intro to 'Pieces' sounded like that song. The piano parts sound like 90% the same. Good song though

[DannySmith]

Yeah, some dude definitly did that a really long time ago. But good efforts. ;)

http://www.purevolume.com/yenchekandthedalilamas
Huh.. wah... say what?? bugger... thought I'd clocked onto something new then..

never mind.

Both songs are great. I only noticed how similar the opening notes of the two songs were from watching a live video of sum 41 playing pieces, Derek was playing it on the piano and it sounded so similar.

Sum 41 Rehearsals for those who don't know... (Uploaded by Dipplesux)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USEJGLJOrjI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJl02HZTgjE

Songs sound decent. I hope they record some songs that are along the lines of Over My Head, Still Waiting and No Reason. Those songs just get me pumped.

[yourstruly]

What is your guys favourite Sum 41 album and why?. Would like to know some opinions before I buy one.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Mine goes DTLI>AKNF>HHOP>Chuck

DTLI was my first Sum CD, and it pretty much rocks. It was when they got more into the rock side of their career and less pop-punky. I listened to it pretty much every day of 8th grade. I still have a Sum 41 shirt of that time that I wear every now and then.

AKNF is also awesome. It's great pop-punk, and Fat Lip and In Too Deep are great singles from there. Plus it has the debut of Pain for Pleasure. :cool:

HHOP is their debut and is pretty much a rawer more energetic version of AKNF. Makes No Difference will always be kick ***, and there are more cool songs on there.

Chuck was a good album, but it didn't have as much replayability as a whole. It has some great songs such as No Reason, All to Blame, Pieces, and 88, but it was a bit of a let down for me. Cool solos every now and then, but yeah.

And that's me.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Yeah, some dude definitly did that a really long time ago. But good efforts. ;)

http://www.purevolume.com/yenchekandthedalilamas

Haha, that actually sounds pretty cool.

I won't judge the music until I hear it on an album, but it seems like they're returning to their truer pop-punk roots and leaving the general rock format of DTLI and C

What is your guys favourite Sum 41 album and why?. Would like to know some opinions before I buy one.

well, if you like really heavy Does this look Infected, if you like more melodic rock go Chuck, if you really like pop-punk go Half Hour of Power and if you like a blend of pop-punk and heavier rock/rap then do All Killer No Filler

[yourstruly]

Hmm, i'm gonna get half hour of power. But what i've heard from DTLI was good aswell.

[Slevin]

Hard for me to choose... but I like Infected and Chuck pretty equally. The reason I like Chuck so much is because of No Reason. Deryck writes good lyrics, but for some reason, the lyrics of No Reason are perfect. That would have to be my current, overall, favorite Sum 41 song.

Infected was pretty good because it was the first CD I ever listened to from start to finish and replayed it over again. I really loved Over My Head and Mr. Amsterdam as well as Still Waiting. I listened to Infected all the time in grade 9, so it has sentimental value.

Never owned Half Hour or All Killer. Though I have listened to a lot of songs from them. Really good stuff. I don't have an absolute favorite from those two however.

I'm interested in this newer version or whatever of Subject to Change. Deryck says he's improved it the chorus and stuff so I hope it turns out great. Because I didn't find the chorus of Subject to Change very exciting. The rest of the song rawked though.

[16 Nipples]

Yeah that new stuff sounds great. More like their earlier stuff which I much prefer. I think Dave leaving will have had a huge influence on the new record because Dave is a huge metal fan and you could see Sum 41 were getting more metalish as their albums progressed. Now he has left I think Deryck will move more back to their original style. I sumhow cant see Deryck coming out with the metal solos in their newer stuff, and the fact that they are a 3 piece now is more suited to straight up pop/punk.

[TheBassicBassist]

I just want some new stuff, I don't care what it sounds like, Sum 41 is amazing all around

[Bad Blood]

Hmm, i'm gonna get half hour of power. But what i've heard from DTLI was good aswell.

get DTLI

Best sum41 album

[bassist_for_a_band]

So glad to hear they started recording.... (I thought they did...)
Can not wait to hear this album, those youtube rehearsals sound sweet

[Ross]

I listened to All Killer yesterday. So long since I'd heard it, and I suddenly love the poppyness all over again.

[Pazz]

It's easily their best album.

[TheBassicBassist]

So glad to hear they started recording.... (I thought they did...)
Can not wait to hear this album, those youtube rehearsals sound sweet

They have definitely started recording their 5th album, Stevo is already done with his drum tracking...so I suppose that means it'll go pretty fast.

[TheBassicBassist]

K, so...no one comes in here anymore so this is just about the final update from me unless we can get some interest flowing again (which should happen due to new album coming up sooner than later).

If you haven't been keeping up with them, just go to http://www.myspace.com/sum41, because there's alot of neat stuff in there. Like they have a video update on their new album, if I heard Deryck right there's going to be 19 new songs or something like that, and Steve is done recording, Cone and Deryck are recording guitar and bass and Deryck isn't quite done writing the vocals yet.

Also Road to Ruin, their new online tv-show chronicling their stupidity, just kind of looks alot like their Introduction to Destruction (cross your ts and gouge your eyes) dvd, just them filming themselves on the road...being themselves...and that's all, the new music sounds awesome, I can't wait

[skidrumbum]

well if your a true sum 41 fan you know about their pretend metal tribute band "pain for pleasure". hahaha i love that. me and my friend started our own called knarkill. hahah sum 41 rocks cant wait till there new cd

[bottlerocket]

I wouldn't say I'm a true Sum 41 fan but I have "All Killer, No Filler" and "Does This Look Infected?" and I really like those albums.

[Pazz]

I'm looking forward to their new album because they are saying it's supposed to be like their older stuff.

Also, Cone in my town this past week. He was shooting a video on our hospital with his side project band: The Operation.

[bottlerocket]

Is this their third full length album?

Is Cone's side project any good? What's he do, bass? I'll have to check them out.

[lunchforthesky]

Fourth full lenth.

Fifth if you count half hour of power.

[Pazz]

This will be Sum 41s 5th full lenght album.

And I haven't heard Cone's side project. I just heard about them today when I was reading the paper about them beiing in my town.

[bottlerocket]

Ah, I forgot about Half Hour of Power.

I must be missing some of their albums then. Oh well.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Ah, I forgot about Half Hour of Power.

I must be missing some of their albums then. Oh well.

You be missin' out on HHoP and Chuck foo'.

[TheBassicBassist]

Ah, I forgot about Half Hour of Power.

I must be missing some of their albums then. Oh well.

Okay, first things first, it's really awesome to see some interest regenerated up in here

second, Half Hour of Power was the first
then All Killer No Filler
Does this look infected
chuck
and then the new super goodness that they're working on


cones side project is called The Operation and they have a myspace, it's neat stuff but I'm not a fan

And to that guy at the top, yes, everyone here knows about Pain for Pleasure, they are amazing.

[DJ Ducksauce]

*were

Remember that DTLI ended PFP pretty much.

[TheBassicBassist]

*were

Remember that DTLI ended PFP pretty much.

Well, it wasn't the cause of their ending, that's just when it stopped, cause during Chuck they were too busy being too awesome as Sum 41 then Dave left, seriously...they're screwed now, they can never perform What We're all About or Fat Lip or anything like that again without changing...dave you goober go back to your real life

[Eskedi]

AKNF is my favourite album, so im looking forward to their next a lot.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

From what I've heard from the rehersals, the new album is gonna be real classic pop-punk: powerchords, cool guitar riffs, cool bass licks, simple drumming, simple music, catchy lyrics, and all around feel-good music. (Pretty much AKNF)
If so, I'm really gonna like it.

[skateMASTERbater2]

Well, it wasn't the cause of their ending, that's just when it stopped, cause during Chuck they were too busy being too awesome as Sum 41 then Dave left, seriously...they're screwed now, they can never perform What We're all About or Fat Lip or anything like that again without changing...dave you goober go back to your real life

Why couldn't they play fat lip? It isn't that hard to play... And they never played What We're all about anyway. By the way, the solo in what were all about wasnt played by dave.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Why couldn't they play fat lip? It isn't that hard to play... And they never played What We're all about anyway. By the way, the solo in what were all about wasnt played by dave.

Because the rapping in Fat Lip went back and forth between the 4 of them, but I'm guessing that Cone will just do most of Dave's since Cone didn't really have too many lines in there.

And What We're All About is a freaking awesome song.

[sportsfan4427]

From what I've heard from the rehersals, the new album is gonna be real classic pop-punk: powerchords, cool guitar riffs, cool bass licks, simple drumming, simple music, catchy lyrics, and all around feel-good music. (Pretty much AKNF)

that's good cause i really liked AKNF way more than Chuck

[TheBassicBassist]

Why couldn't they play fat lip? It isn't that hard to play... And they never played What We're all about anyway. By the way, the solo in what were all about wasnt played by dave.

I was talking about dave's voice, not his guitar, the way he raps and sings, it won't be the same with someone else, plus he did all the screams, except the low ones done by cone

[bottlerocket]

I remember my friends and I were in like 7th grade or something and we used to do the dance they did in the video for "Fat Lip."

Yeah, I know: you don't need to tell me how cool I am.

[Pazz]

Fat Lip is my favourite Sum 41 song of all time.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I remember my friends and I were in like 7th grade or something and we used to do the dance they did in the video for "Fat Lip."

Yeah, I know: you don't need to tell me how cool I am.

We did it in front of the school for some competition thing, and won. :upset:
One of the proudest, yet saddest moments of my life.

[bottlerocket]

Yeah, we did it when we were forced to go to those lame elementary school dances. My friends and I thought we were cool.

I guess we were back then 'cuz everyone liked it and thought it was funny...

[TheBassicBassist]

Yeah, we did it when we were forced to go to those lame elementary school dances. My friends and I thought we were cool.

I guess we were back then 'cuz everyone liked it and thought it was funny...

My friends and I performed Makes No Difference live once and did the little dance thing and alot of people liked it way more than we thought they would, that was a good show too

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

My friends and I performed Makes No Difference live once and did the little dance thing and alot of people liked it way more than we thought they would, that was a good show too

I tried to do that, but my guitarest is way to unco to play and 'dance' at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, he's an awsome guitarest, but not much of a dancer, haha.

[TheBassicBassist]

I tried to do that, but my guitarest is way to unco to play and 'dance' at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, he's an awsome guitarest, but not much of a dancer, haha.

well it's not even really a dance it's just kind of a 'movement segment' if you will, and it wasn't hard for us at all, we just kind of did it...it was fun

[mick7]

I wouldn't say I'm a true Sum 41 fan but I have "All Killer, No Filler" and "Does This Look Infected?" and I really like those albums.


Sum 41 are awesome, one of the reasons that got me into Punk Rock. I hope their new cd is like the old ones like they said.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Same, except GC came right before them.

Then blink, and so on.

[symmetrix]

i liked when they played that song then it went to that other song where they were dressed like 80's rock stars, i also saw that metallica medley they did and it was awesome!! metallica says they are there nephews so they are cool with me

[Grohlthegreat]

i liked when they played that song then it went to that other song where they were dressed like 80's rock stars

Fat Lip/Pain for Pleasure, if i'm not mistaken. :thumb:


Does anyone else think 'AKNF' owns the newer albums ?

[lunchforthesky]

Does anyone not think that?

[TheBassicBassist]

Does anyone not think that?

I don't think that, all of their albums are masterpieces completely, I hope they can keep it up forever

[lunchforthesky]

Fanboy alert.

[Pazz]

Fanboy alert.

Yeah, we figured that one out a longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time ago.:p

[lunchforthesky]

lol, its just a little obvious :p

[Ross]

rofl.

AKNF is wicked.

[TheBassicBassist]

Fanboy alert.

what the hell gave it away

EDIT: I don't actually want an answer I'm just stating...duh

[MattSharpIsCool]

Me and my old band were gonna do the little dance thing from Makes No Difference, but once we started playing shows, we were definitely too cool.

I havent listened to Sum 41 in FOREVER. Seriously, it's been a year or two. I really need to find my CD's and give them a listen.

[TheBassicBassist]

The Operations cd will be out Feb. 20th for those who don't know (Steve is also kind of an undisclosed member of the band), oh and the first episode of Road to Ruin is on Sum 41's myspace...it's kind of gay and they have alot of vids on it that we've all seen before but it's interesting nonetheless, so go check it out

EDIT: Yeah...I'm pretty much 100% sure that Stevo is directing the music video for Sayonara by Operation...go steve

[Mute Print]

Bump for Greg.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Thanks Brian. Now all discussion about them going on in the Community Thread can continue here.

[Grohlthegreat]

oic.

Sum 41, good, yes.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I can't wait to hear their new single, better yet, their new album. I thought Sum 41 was going to be dead forever but apparently those sneaky little devils are making a comeback. It'll be interesting to hear them without Dave.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I think I'll actually prefer the new Sum 41.
Deryck said they're going back to a more pop-punk 90's sorta sound.
Which will be refreshing from the annoying 'emo' shỉt nowadays.
(I know it's not emo, plase don't slam with with that bullshỉt, but it's the easiest way to descibe it, you all know what I mean.)
Obviously there wont be any insane solo's, or over technical guitaring, but that's not why I listen to Sum 41.
The just make some feckin' good music.
Anyways, the point of this clumsy ramble was:
I'm looking forward to new Sum Fartie One. :thumb:

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I wish they'd fuggin' tell us when their new hit single is going to be released.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

I'm watching the video for fat lip atm

such a good song tbh

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I like the music video for "The Hell Song" the best. :thumb:

[TheBassicBassist]

When did they ever die, and how can they make a comback without ever going anywhere first?

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Well, maybe "die" was the wrong word to use, but they've been kinda silent. I remember they use to be pretty mainstream.

[TheBassicBassist]

Well, maybe "die" was the wrong word to use, but they've been kinda silent. I remember they use to be pretty mainstream.

are you talking about the break they're taking or the fact that they aren't on the radio as much as they were during the Fat Lip/In Too Deep days

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Both. They haven't died, but they haven't been doing as much. When I said they use to be pretty mainstream I was saying that in response to your "and how can they make a comeback without ever going anywhere first?"

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

sum41 suck baaaaaaaawls

[DJ Ducksauce]

No.

And yeah, the last time Sum 41 was in the news was when Deryck and Avril got married.

[TheBassicBassist]

No.

And yeah, the last time Sum 41 was in the news was when Deryck and Avril got married.

my sister reads 17 magazine, and she knows I like Sum, and recently there was an article on Avril and they mentioned Deryck like, once, and she made me read it, it was retarted

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

hey everyone. we've released a new song off of the album on itunes and other digital stores today. it's called "March of the dogs". lyrically it's one of the more political songs that are on the album, following in the style of our songs "still waiting" and we"re all to blame". i wanted to let you all know that this will NOT be a political record. this is just one of our favorite songs on the album so we wanted to give you it to you early since the record won't be out until the summer.
go check it out.
enjoy!!

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Have I ever told you I love you? :D

[DJ Ducksauce]

And apparently, it doesn't want to download. :-\

Sorry man. I'll try again tomorrow.

[Zap'Em]

I'm not a fan boy, but the bolded part it correct. They do have SOME metal influences, but they have never, and will never be metal band. They are a great pop-punk band, you may even go as far as rock. But sure as hell not metal. And that "follow in metallicas footsteps" is bullpoopie. :thumb:

Not my link, but it works. :)

The little interlude was a bit dissapointing I thought.

[MattSharpIsCool]

So I downloaded a couple Sum 41 albums last night on a whim. I haven't listened to these guys since shortly after Chuck came out, but I missed them. I've got all their CD's except Half Hour, but I can't find them :(

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G9Z3NzgarQ

...Yes they are influenced by Metallica, as many bands are. They are big fans. But that doesn't mean that they intend to 'follow in their footsteps'. You do realize Avril Lavigne, Korn and Snoop Dog also covered them that night?
And I never assumed anything, you did. Douche.

I have that, I can add it to the DU once I come back on Saturday.

Whoa man, no need for name calling. I'm glad you admit they are influenced by Metallica, and yes I'd have to say Korn and the other bands that played are also in relation with metallica. korn played numerous shows with them and jason.

[Untitled]

Sum41s new song sounds pretty cool, it kinda sounds more like Does this look infected stuff, i really liked that album, it sounds pretty much what i expected from them really.

[Zap'Em]

Who left the band? The vocalist?

[Grohlthegreat]

Dave the guitarist.

[Zap'Em]

ok

i know there was a hindu lead guitarist

singer/guitarist

bassist that used a pick

drummer


what one was it?

[Grohlthegreat]

the lead guitarist. he has a new band called brown brigade now (metal/reggae).

[Zap'Em]

oh ok i saw a pic and there was a brown guy so i thought the lead guitarist was still there.

[Untitled]

http://www.myspace.com/sum41

new song on there.

[Zap'Em]

ugh.

[Flex of the Yellow]

the lead guitarist. he has a new band called brown brigade now (metal/reggae).

Metal reggae?

They mix?

:confused:



Although TBH, it sounds like a cool mix, interesting

[B]

Yeah they recorded one of their videos in my town's hospital.

It should be interesting Brown is a creative guy.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Who else has heard March Of The Dogs and Underclass Hero?
If you haven't, March Of The Dogs is on their MySpace, and Underclass Hero can be found on Youtube.
I love 'em both.
They're both such classic pop-punk.
It's like they've ripped the songs straight outta the 90's, which I loved, haha.
Their metal influences are dead and gone, which for me, is a very good thing.
Check 'em out.

[lunchforthesky]

That new song is so similar to older Green Day i feel a lawsuit coming.

[Bad Blood]

MOTIVATION SUCH AN AGRIVATION

what a tune

[Bad Blood]

haha new song is sh'it

[DJ Ducksauce]

I have hopes for the new CD despite MotD being mediocre.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Sounds like a combination of old Greenday and blink-182. hmmmmmmmm....

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

That's why I love it.
I guess everyone else has grown out of the music they grew up with.
My music tastes haven't changes since I was like 5, haha.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I liked it, but it doesn't really seem like it'd be a great single.

[Lars Ulrich]

Our good friends Sum 41 are our nephous

[TheBassicBassist]

Both new songs are amazing, but Underclass Hero basically took a vocal progression from Fat Lip, pretty much in the same key and everything, but I still love it and am still a huge fan, new album should be amazing

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah, UH is pretty fun and it did take a clip from Fat Lip, but still a good song.

http://www.myspace.com/sum41 for new songs.

[KrisGodly]

When I got Chuck I had only heard Pieces, so I was expecting bland pop punk with one or two catchy-enough-to-pass songs and that'd be about it. Hell No! Sum 41's vocalist was way different then I had expected, plus their guitars actualyl did something more then make some background music! WOO! Anotehr good punk band to listen to! I also need to hear more then Chuck. Anyone got a suggestion?

[Grohlthegreat]

get all killer no filler

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Sooooo, what's everyone think of the Underclass Hero video?
All I think when I see it is the night after the Fat Lip video, and Dave's gona home to go beddy bye's, haha. It's very similar, it's just shot at night.
I must say, I prefer Deryck's hair blond and spiky again.
Anyways, opinions anyone?

[Grohlthegreat]

pretty much what you said

[TheBassicBassist]

I haven't been to these forums in months...I don't know why, but anyways, in light of the fact that their new albums hits in 6 days and I already downloaded the leak, I'll just go right ahead and say, the new album is just fantastic, alot of it sounds similar to other songs on the album, but since it's a concept album I can forgive them, I just absolutely love it

I think the video for underclass hero is retarded, honestly

[Fish]

yeah its not a very good video.. but its a good song so they cancel each other out.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I see it as the kind of video a band would do for their first single:
Pretty simple, Low budget, Shows off the band members (mostly band playing scenes) etc.
It doesn't seem fitting for where they are in there career, unless they're thinking the same way as me, and trying to start fresh... I doubt it.

[TheBassicBassist]

I'm not really worried about why they made the video the way they did, it's just a dumb music video, but Fish is right, it is a good song, so I'm not worried about it

[Frankie]

new album is terrible as is the new single.

If I wanted to listen to a fuc'king re-hash of Fat Lip then I would listen to the far superior AKNF, rather than the cr'ap new album

[TheBassicBassist]

If you wanted to "hear a re-hash" you'd listen to the original? Do you think before you post?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Apparently, most people on this board seem slightly unimpressed with the new album.
Well I for one love it. There's not a single song I wouldn't listen to 10 times over. (Excluding Ma Poubble or whatever, I don't speak french, haha)
I don't think it really sounds all that much like AKNF. Obviously it has similarities, as they were both by the same band, but I think it really IS a mix of all of their albums on one, just the first two more than others. Which isn't a bad thing, as I liked the style of music they played then, but I preferred their songwriting in the latter two. UH is a mix of the HHOP-AKNF sound, with the more mature songwriting of DTLI and Chuck.
Anyways, my point is I like it, and don't understand why people , Sum 41 fans mostly, are so object to it.

[Livewire]

At first I wasn't too keen on the new album but it's grown on me. Sum 41 is probably one of my top favorite bands and influences. Sure some parts aren't the greatest but it works. But you really do get a sense of how much Dave contributed to the band while listening to the album. I miss his solos and harmonys

I liked the album from day 1, people who knew me back when my post count was in the hundreds will know that already, and all of my friends and relatives love it too, so I don't know why everyone online hates it so much, in my real life It's gotten nothing but positive feedback...so, I guess I'm not really worried about it, plenty of people still like it, so the haters are just retarded, that's the bottom line

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Actually, that's the same with me. Haha.
Stupid internet people.... :amaze: Wait.

Haters are retarded ey ? No my friend it is a difference of opinion. I've been a fan for little over 5 years of this band I liked every single album up until this release.

If you want to put up with a sub-par copy cat of American Idiot then fair enough.

I however won't be wasting my money.

I wish dave would re-join the band. They might hit some form again.

[dub sean]

That's what I've been hoping for!

It's a turn of phrase. Like douche bag. Which you are for not having a tolerance for others opinions.

Burn dude, ouch :rolleyes:

[Frankie]

But yeah I was listening to Chuck today. Great album and is probably the better of the 2 'heavier' albums they did.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Hmm really? I hold DTLI as their best with AKNF coming in a close second. Chuck was alright, but a bit of a let down for me.

[dub sean]

I agree with you

[Frankie]

I haven't listened to DTLI in a while thats probably why.

But yeah nothing can beat AKNF.

[TheBassicBassist]

But yeah I was listening to Chuck today. Great album and is probably the better of the 2 'heavier' albums they did.

I think Chuck was better structured and organized, but I thought DTLI was heavier in more of a raw sense

[LadyMinazuru]

I loved they're new album. Yeah, sure it doesn't really sound like the same stuff you would get from them. To me, it's sounds just like a mix of all the albums. I love it!

In the AP Magazine, it was just recent, they wrote this article in it about Sum 41's new album. They said "Deryck was unsuccesful with the lyrics" or something close to that. They were questioning it because after all those other albums it is kinda hard to take them seriously.

[Livewire]

Their new video for Walking Disaster is just horrible. I mean a robot... cmon. I'm honestly skeptical of how long they will continue to be a band. I mean I love Sum 41, I like the new album as well, but I think without Dave, they're pushing their luck and talent.

[Bad Blood]

nah, i think they're doing fine.

they dont need to be told.

they're doing fine.

the wont give you control

they dont need anything from you

they'll be just fine

etc

Yeah...totally, I knew that it was going to be about a robot for a long time before it was finished and I thought it sounded retarded...and low and behold, it surpassed retarded and jumped into another dimension, I love Sum, obviously we know this, but their music videos are usually too much to handle

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Well. I think I'm the only one who liked it here.
It really emphasizes the fact that they don't take themselves to seriously, one of the many reasons I love 'em.
I though it was just a light-hearted, stupid video that they probably had A LOT of fun making, what more could you ask for?

[billiejoe84]

123 to that. And who cares if Dave isn't in the band anymore? Sure, it means no more Maiden guitar solos, but the songs on the new album are still good anyway so it doesn't really matter.

[Ande12333]

anyone got a link for the album?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

You'd defiantly find it somewhere if you looked, I'm just too lazy to look for you.
They've got a few up on their MySpace, and all the songs would be on YouTube, both album versions and live.
Or you could invest in a copy of the album from your local music store, and laugh at all the random mistakes the printers/editors made in the lyrics.

you could ask for a video with some integrity and not a homo *** video about a robot that found it's way back to a toy store, I don't care if they have fun, they can make a funny video that is cool without making it absolutely ****ed and retarded

[blinknullmiss6969]

underclass heroes pretty good nothing beats chuck though one of my favourite albums ever

http://www.pullthecurtain.net ...sign up and talk about sum 41 and many other bands

[Nutmeg]

i like that song where they rip off metallica

its on the chuck album

its called the bitter end

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

It was actually a 'tribute' to them...
Ya know what sucks, Deryck's back.
No more touring 'til next year.
Which isn't actually that far away, but still...

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

He makes a good point.

[KaNeYCaNeS]

Banging avril would be fun...

[Gonads]

Yeah it would be a dream come true.

[Erratic]

She's not that good looking tbh

[Gonads]

But she's still good looking enough to plow all night and day.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

She's not that good looking tbh

Each to his own.

Yeah, Sum 41. Good shiz, yo.

[Gonads]

Yeah Sum 41 is br00tal.

[Clunge]

So yeah, whilst drunk last night I bought a ticket to see Sum 41 tonight. They've always been one of my favourite bands if solely for AKNF and DTLI? (I really really do not like Chuck or their other new stuff I've heard).

Anyhoo, can anyone give me a rough idea of what I'm gonna hear?

[Clunge]

That were fun :).
