Re: Take A Look At Yourself = Letterbomb?
I dunno. Some of those are interesting little finds, some are completely superficial, in my opinion, and a lot of those can be drawn between a bunch of different bands and songs. Like the Aliens Exist one. The C-G-A-F or B-F#-G#-E or whatever progression is the single most overmilked and recycled ch...

Re: Weed in the studio?
Ionno if it's that much of a stretch to think that Sum 41 may be in the company of drug users more often than not. Deryck has stated numerous times that he was stoned all the time on the AKNF tour. I tend to think that he is, in fact, clean now, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the people they...

Re: Sum 41 vs Green Day?
lately i have been listening to a lot of GD, so i will say GD > Sum 41. And fuck you all that say american idiot sucked, just because they went mainstream doesnt mean they suck. I thought it was a pretty good album. I enjoy most of the songs on there anyway. But yeah, i do enjoy older green day bet...

Re: Sum 41 vs Green Day?
Bullshit. Billie Joe and Deryck are about the same. I fail to see how Billie Joe and Deryck are "about the same". Deryck has never struck me as anything more than a rhythm player who can throw some simple leads in here and there, and then half-ass them live. Billie Joe on the other hand c...

Re: Sum 41 vs Green Day?
Mike Dirnt is probably a better bassist than cone but other than that Sum 41 outclass Green Day musically, and i used to love Green Day and i have all the albums but since they sold out i can't be bothered with them much anymore. I have to disagree. Tre and Stevo are pretty close in drumming skill....

Re: Hot Blonde Snooter Sandwich
I don't think the seriousness of the album would have prevented them from giving it a not-so-serious title. Does This Look Infected? wasn't a particularly light-hearted album either, but the album art and title don't really reflect it.

Re: THERE IS A CHANCE!!!
I always thought it was touring that brought in the money for bands, and that royalties from albums are quite pathetic on major labels.

Re: Emo ruined artist's chances....
To me, Emo is a word with no meaning. Everyone throws it around so much that it's lost all meaning.All the stupid fuckin' chavs just use the word to describe any trend that is different from them Thank you very much. Honestly, why do we bother getting so deep into these labels? I'm fine with genres...

Re: The Cone Thread.
It's hard to compare Mark Hoppus and Cone, since their bass playing is more about rhythm than being particularly innovative with basslines and such. Neither of them have struck me as being virtuosos at their instruments. Not that that's a bad thing, since they can definitely play their stuff. They a...

dude you always look on the worse side of things. :? I don't exactly see how I was "looking on the worse side of things" by pointing out that all the things Dave disliked about Sum 41 haven't changed. Perhaps I'm bringing up a somewhat negative point, but it's an important negative point ...

Re: THERE IS A CHANCE!!!
I didn't exactly take that reply as, "I plan on coming back to Sum 41". I took that as more, "I'm open minded." Dave left Sum 41 because he was fed up with the mainstream music industry, something Sum 41 is heavily involved in. Dave probably feels that all the trouble taken to ge...

Re: THE NEW OFFSPRING ALBUM
Heh. Anyone notice that this is almost exactly a year behind Underclass Hero? Even the single is coming out around the same time. I remember way back in '06 I was thinking Offspring's would come out first. But yeah, awesome news. Great that we finally got a release date and title. And even better, i...

Re: call for a new live album?
Go Chuck Yourself doesn't, in my opinion, qualify as a "live" record. When people say it's edited, it's not just touch-ups here and there. You can take any portion of any given song on that record and the odds are it's been toyed with in the studio. Deryck's vocals are definitely all re-re...

Maybe they should make a live album that's actually live. That'd be great.

Re: Sum's Guitar Tones
Can someone tell me why Deryck has such bad hearing for guitar tones, and why he doesn't both to use any effects pedels? I don't agree that he has a bad ear for tone. It would seem that he's pretty good at getting the tones he wants when he wants. It's more that the tones he wants just so happen to...

I know Deryck said that there's a vintage Les Paul that he's used on every record so far, but I don't think that one is his Goldtop, since he alledgedly doesn't bring his really pricey vintage guitars on tour. Deryck definitely used a Les Paul Jr. on a bunch of UH songs. Not just because you can see...
