Old school Sum41 > New school.

Thats fans, music, everything.

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...

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

saw sum 41 last night

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

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

[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

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.

I think it's all amazing like none other.

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.

Okay. I saw them last night. I don't have time to post anything right now, so go to [url]http://www.xanga.com/TheBassicBassist[/url] that's my blog and you can read what I put on it and stuff. I was in 10 mosh pits bi[size=2]tch[/size]

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

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.

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

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*.

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!

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....

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
