Lol I can just picture Dave trying to teach Deryck scales and Deryck not giving a shit. The way he said it made it sound mean though, which I don't think it was supposed to

BROWN BRIGADE.

TG finds out what kick-ass ex-Sum 41 guitarist did next...

When Dave Baksh left Sum 41 in May 2006, it was to focus on his killer new band Brown Brigade. The band take in classic thrash metal and old-school funk and TG can't wait to get our mitts on their debut album! "I have always been more interested in the thrash, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and grindcore bands, so our sound is classic thrash metal but we also play reggae and funk " says Baksh. "Our reggae is more of a rub-a-dub style like on Mister Yellowman by Yellowman, and Two Bad DJ with General Saint and Clint Eastwood. Our funk is more like Booker T and the MG's"
Baksh has also started learning how to 'sight read' on the drums... "My playing is very rhythm based so I decided to learn everything about rhythm before attempting guitar theory. Learning the proper length of a note keeps what we call the 'pulse' of a beat constant. I'd like to become a ninja in my timing and delivery, as these are the backbones of my style."
The band's reggae and funk inflections also mean that Baksh can cover a lot more groove-based playing, as opposed to the fast punk rock of Sum 41.
"I have a chance to play more groove-oriented riffs and slower tempos without writing a ballad. This band gives me the outlet to pursue any style of guitar, drums or just music in general."
If you want to see Brown Brigade in action, you may have to wait a while... at least until they find a UK record label. "If anyone wants us to come over for a tour we are down. We are currently looking for a label in the UK, so if there is a record company that needs a hard-working metal band, call us!"

do you know why dave didn't go to derycks wedding, according to him it was because "My house sale was ending that day. I had to be there for the contract signing."

...I GUESS that's a good reason to miss someone's wedding.

still seems a little...stupid to me, even though it MIGHT have been able to be avoided.

Ha in the thread where I originally posted the questions I said what Pull The Curtain is about and you said "Deryck has never said that" so I posted up some of the interview and you never looked in the thread again

this:

Pull The curtain sounds pretty scary!

"I was 22 and we were on tour in Japan and I started having severe panic attacks - just this crazy anxiety. I didn't know what was happening to me, I didn't know it was panic. For six or eight months I was having a panic attack every single day and I thought my brain had been fried from all the drugs I'd done, so I started going to see a drug's counsellor. I said, 'I've done something to my brain, I'm fucked!' As soon as I realised that it was anxiety and did some research on the internet I started getting over it.

"So that's what this song is about. My panic attacks always start because I think I'm about to die. I can feel my chest getting heavy as though I'm gonna have a heart attack. I understand them now, which is why I don't get them anymore. But at the time I was like 'What the fuck is going on?' "

was actually on ultimate guitar a while back. i tottaly forgot about it.

Cool interview.

Yeah, me an Deryck are kind of alike in terms of playing guitar. I don't like doing scales or figuring out stuff by myself. Well, at least not a whole song. It it's a riff, I can manage.

It is, but we've known that Dave doesn't really speak to any of his former bandmates anymore.

First of all, thanx for typing the Deryck and BB interviews its awesome!

and yeah, it is sad that Dave isnt speaking to the sums anymore, but from asking him in his mail, he said they aren't enemies and he would love to speak to them and hang with them again someday.

yeh okay. thanks. but Deryck doesnt seem liek Deryck anymore. i mean, Avril isnt a guitarsit AT ALL, deryck is somewhat as he plays it on the album and live... since wen has avril played guitar??? dave even said it to me in that myspace msg which i posted on TNS. Dave is at least honest about it all.

Rick · Post by **Rick** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 1:31 pm
