Bought all of their LPs. Sum 41 is fucking rock! All of their albums are awesome and they are so good live, their music fits me the most and I really love Deryck's style! :)
All sound engineers: "Oh it's a punk rock band? I better crank up the bass ridiculously high and turn down the rhythm guitar." Seriously, WHY? It never fucking works!
+Christoffer13 Well, I always thought that having the bass turned up high was something about punk that makes it sound better...Green day for example...Amazing when it comes to that. A lot of the more mainstream rock music...you can't even HEAR the bass players at all...It's a shame, but it's probably a blessing in disguise, since most of them can't play for shit anyway :)
surgeyX I mostly agree with ya. Especially with bands like Blink 182, Rufio and Rancid, I wouldn't have it any other way since a dominating bass is part of their soundscape. However, if you listen to Sum 41's records, at least in my opinion, the bass is their to lift up the guitars, and surely, if you were a sound engineer, you'd try and make the live sound come as close to the record as possible, no? :)
i think that for songs like the hell song or still waiting the bass is essential because are songs influenced by hard rock and metal (dont judge me too quickly, here is higher than what i mean)
I actually LOVE the way they tuned their guitars for such a gritty sound during 2011 Screaming Bloody Murder era. These times look hard-core rock but also really bad for Deryck due to his personal problems that almost killed him. Glad hes well now - what a goddamn badass Deryck Whibley is!
They have literally done a performance of a sped up version of how you remind me by nickelback... I guess Chad Kroger didn’t appreciate them being more punk than him, and he subsequently stole Derrick’s wife later on!

So that you know, deryck had problems with alcohol, that's why he looks like that, he's blond and he's had black hair before only then (2011) deryck took jack daniels every day for that reason his kinship .GIANCARLO C
+Dimitrije Petrovic Not even close you obviously have never seen any other performances or listened to any of their albums this isn't even close to their best the sound engineer screwed things up.
