Stevo, please, tell us more stories from the backstage and things you did back then, during world tours, etc. What you particularly remembered, strange events, fuuny occasions, stuff like that. Your charisma really brightens these stories.
This is some of the best drum content I've seen on RU-vid in a while, you being an absolute icon makes it all the better, please never stop making these lol.
Hey man, love the channel. Don't mean to have another Sum 41-related request, but I would love if you did a video a bit more on the writing process of the band. It's not like those songs just popped in out of thin air. Would love to know about how Deryck would demo tracks, how would you go in either beforehand or in the studio and work out the drum parts, and generally how songs came to be. In particular, I've always been very curious about Chuck as it seems like the first album that was really written in the studio for the band with lots of instrumentation and arrangements added later. Thanks Stevo!
I love Screaming Bloody Murder. It might be tied with Does This Look Infected as my favorite Sum 41 album. I wish it got more representation in the band’s live performances, because it really deserves more love.
Screaming Bloody Murder is my FAVORITE Sum 41 album, IT LITERALLY MADE ME CRY IT WAS SO GOOD. Chuck is my second fav because i like the heavy side of that album.
I remember buying Sum 41's All Killer No Filler in a weird CD vending machine at an airport in 2001. Blew my freaking mind. 23 years later and I can still play it front to back on the drums. It left a huge mark on my musical taste, and I can't thank you enough for being one of the reasons why I still play drums to this day.
How cool is it to see these videos and listen to Stevo's comments! Sum 41 lost a lot after you left, bro! I was waiting for your return and I waited! It would be great to hear your comments about the clips where you were the director - Underclass Hero, With Me
Screaming bloody murder is my favorite Sum 41 album and the band hasn’t been the same since you left. But so glad to see all of these videos you’ve been posting! Good to hear from you, legend!
It's wild that you were nominated for a Grammy for Blood In My Eyes and not any of your other songs. Still incredible that you were, though! What an honor!
Loving your videos dude, keep them going because I for one will be watching them all. You were always one of my favourite drummers and it’s awesome to see you enjoying playing again! 🤘❤
Wet, wetter, wet with a vengeance! Would love a run through of those old home movies! Or maybe stuff that we as fans have never seen. Thanks for all you do Steve and happy belated birthday!
Hell yeah I remember watching the Grammys that year for you guys and the category was never aired! Also YES, justice for Screaming Bloody Murder! It's probably my favourite Sum 41 album and I wish more of the songs were played live! The old Sum 41 home videos are just gold, I never tire of watching those! Can you please do a reaction video watching some of those eventually?! That would be my one request!
32 is the standard musical time signature. It means 32 beats per 1 measure (I don't know what it's properly called in musical theory) There are usually 4,8,16,32 beats per measure in rock music. 32 is this fast paced beat you hear during drum breaks or drum solos.
STEVO. Used to have an old sum41 dvd where you said “I got some mother fucking pitters” referring to your armpit sweat. I’ve been sayin it for 20 years now. Glad your alive
Omg, I remember that! (And you’re right, that music video was great with Lemmy!) It was hilarious seeing Sum 41 up against the metal bands. The entire media was horrified and confused! I knew you guys probably had a good laugh at the time - and surely took advantage of the free red carpet SWAG. Speaking of which, you should make a video about best/worst free SWAG you guys ever got at these uppity events! You can also do a best/worst places you’ve stayed as a runner up vid topic. That shit would be fun, lol.
Your videos are great. You have humor with some great content, and correlating memories that add so much. Did I mention you're a fuckin stellar drummer. Thanks for this and the other songs. Can't wait for more!
I loved Motivation! That was my all time fav Sum41 song when it came out! The double bass on the drums just made me so happy! I’d love to see you play that again now! (Hint hint) Also why was Pain for Pleasure so short? That should have been longer, it was an awesome track! I listened to it over & over until it became unhealthy 😂 So happy to see you back btw!
I think I've said the same comment on every one of these videos, but another awesome video. I look forward to these every week and was disappointed with one missing last weekend - but alas, they're back! These stories are awesome, and are a nice little look into the backstage / off the stage side of not just Sum41, but many other bands. Thanks for jumping onboard and sharing! Can't wait to see what that famous portrait hidden behind that black curtain is! ...soon.
With all due respect to Josh Freese who is an amazing drummer btw, The Foo Fighters should have hired YOU as their new drummer! If I heard an announcement that they named you as their new drummer, my brain would have exploded out of pure excitement!
Thanks! I will still do Sum 41 stuff - but I will also do covers (especially when they tie into a story). But i will also do random covers of songs I like just for fun 🤘
Story about the song Makes No Difference, how it came about and how it was featured in the movie Out Cold, Van Wilder, Bring it On. Love the channel and stories 🤘🏻
Hello brother, greetings from Mexico, I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for returning to the public eye, I also play drums and I really appreciate your testimonies and advice you give in interviews about drums. I have always liked your sense of humor and your energy, keep it up. I never miss your videos, I would like you to play on something about 'does this look infected?' Mr. Amsterdam or Thanks for Nothing, you could also tell the story of some of those songs... don't stop publishing, and I always wish you the best. Blessings!
Hey Stevo! Would definitely love to hear more about SBM, it's my favorite album from the band. Was also wondering if you'd talk any about your old Julius Geezer project? I'd love to hear the unreleased EP, Win Some is a really catchy song
Awesome song brother I've not dug much into their discography but this song is especially a banger. Love those laid back heavy hitting drums. Your dynamics behind the kit are fantastic. Love it. Bless you 🎉🙏🥳
was playing along to Chuck the other day. your speed on the hi-hats on Open Your Eyes is absolutely nuts, i’d love to hear you break down this track or play it on the channel.
I have just bought my first drum kit in 20 years having not touched one for 10-12 years. I started when i was 10 and am now 36. I know you mentioned you had a similar(ish) period of time off so was wondering if you were a bit lost with where to restart/getting back in to things/having new interests in music/feeling like you lost those years on developing your skills? Would be sweet to get a bit on guidance from a notable drummer that has been through the situation im currently in! Happy to see you making these awesome videos. Been a huge fan of your stuff with Sum41 since Half hour of power.
Good on you! It's sometimes good to take a break and get back into it with a fresh perspective - I can do a video about my experience if people would be into that kind of thing!
I saw a comment requesting NOFX, I think that would be a good one. I’m thinking Separation of Church and Skate though. Or Teenage Bottlerocket. Both are fantastic.
Ideas for other videos: 1. your participation playing with Vandals 2. some video reaction to Kye Smith's video "Sum 41: A 5 Minute Drum Chronology" with the songs you recorded. Very good channel!
Hey stevo, loving the videos and stories! I have been a sum 41 fan my entire life, (i was born around the time sum 41 started as a band, and my dad + older brother got me into you soon as i entered this world). I am not exaggerating when i say that I've had more days in my life where ive heard your music, than days that i have not. I don't know if this is a weird request, but after you've covered the rest of the sums discography, would you consider diving into some of the band's more recent albums post you leaving? Be really interesting to hear you play some of the tracks off the last 3 albums and to hear your opinion on your favourites off of them too. Just a thought! Cheers buddy
Great fucking video dude! Please continue to make these. 20+ year guitar player here trying to be a drummer now. Gwhjahahahah. Sum has always been a huge inspiration. You fucking tear ass on drums gahhh.
"Subject To Change" is strangely my fav. Sum41 Song. That Chuck B Side song that had elements of various sum41 songs in it - most notably: walking disaster. I would like to know more about it and also how it turned into walking disaster laster and why it didnt end up on Chuck itself. esp. since the story i heard is, that the record company just took it from Darricks PC and released it without telling him?
Awesome cover, Stevo! I'm seeing Foo Fighters next month! It will be my first time seeing them. Looking forward to Josh Freeze, but I wish I could have also seen Hawkins. RIP. This is a great selection off of Wasting Light. It's my favorite record. "A Matter Of Time" is easily one of the best rock songs of all time.
Josh Freese plays for the foo’s Josh also plays with the Vandals You filled in for Josh in the vandals. It’s almost full circle here! Also, the vandals are great! You should totally do a vandals video? Maybe an oi to the world Christmas special?
Another great video. Wish I could drum as well as you but I'm very unpolished. I'd love to hear about how you got involved with other artists for songs. Like your version of "Get Back" with Ludachris, or "Little Know It All" with Iggy Pop.
Thanks man! I can go over those for sure. regarding the drumming : It's just practice AND playing A LOT of live shows (especially to a click - that helped!) I still have a long way to go for my own personal growth as a drummer but wherever you are at, just keep going! Focus on technique and dynamics, start slow and then go fast! Click track is your friend! Play loose with control!
@stevo32drums I'll have to remember these. I'm a chronic overthinker, even when trying to get lost in the rhythm. My biggest issue thus far seems to be separating my arm and leg sync. Very hard to do some of the more complex beats.
Hi stevo, I hope you remember when you were playing a show with sum 41, it was GO CHUCK YOURSELF live ( in youtube ) . you guys were playing No Brains song but at the time before Outro of the song, you guys make an improve there . I really love that part, and I was hoping, why dont you guys make a song with that arransement . hopefully you read this, tell story behind of it, and notice NO BRAINS in a GO CHUCK YOURSELF SHOW please LOL
I have always loved this song. So sick! I would love to echo the sentiment for some fun backstage stories (as much as you’re able to share) I remember reading once about some crazy story involving Avril Lavigne and members of the canadian hardcore band No Warning. I don’t know if you’ve kept up with them over the years but the album Suffer Survive has HUGE sum 41 vibes. If you were to ever play one of those songs in a video I bet it would be pretty coooooool E CA HI!!
Funny enough I learned Reason to Believe on guitar from the SBM record recently. I always loved your drumming on that opening track which was also the opening song played the first time I saw Sum 41 at The Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC during 2011 with Billy Talent for a benefit concert. I gave the 41 salute standing on top of chairs not yet destroyed by the chaotic crowd 🤣 (it could've been right after In Too Deep cuz RU-vid shows footage of the performance as Deryck gives the 41 salute after looking in the crowd and I was impossible to miss 😂). After Sum 41's set ended, out of nowhere, someone on the floor shouted, "Has anyone seen a fucking sandal?!" And thus ended another Sum 41 concert hahahaha
Screaming Bloody Murder is probably Sum 41's masterpiece. It didn't get the love it deserved at the time due to the departure from what you guys did previously. It's a darker "All Killer, No Filler" for me.
@@stevo32drums I literally would play that on my ipod at my old job when I was in high school, as a bassist that album shaped my playing, now I’m dabbling in other instruments without hesitation🤘🏻🔥
Thanks for being such a big inspiration Steve. Two questions: Where’d you get the name “SteveO32” from? Any chance we can see you cover “Confusion and Frustration”?
Hi Steve, when you"ll be doing something from Chuck album, could you maybe tell us more about your experience in Democratic Republic of the Congo and how it affected the band?
Hi Stevo can you talk about and maybe perform the song "88"?? I find it super interesting how it mixes punk with one of the heaviest headbangs!! Thank you and much respect from Portugal!!!
Hey Steve, my 8 year old son Keane is your biggest Irish fan! 🇮🇪🇨🇦 He’d like to know if you will ever play a song from one of the Sum albums that were released after your departure?
I didn't have that since the red and blue kit - but when I bought this Ludwig kit it came with 12 & 13 racks so I figure why not! Took a sec getting used to the ride in that position ! it's fun having all the toms (I don't really use the 18" FT)
@@stevo32drums Awesome! Ride positioning seems to be the deciding factor when it comes to number of toms. I’ve been experimenting lately with putting the lowest floor tom to the left of the hi-hats. It makes for some unique fills. Cheers!
