not at the exppense of the fan sites, the shows and the music. how would you feeel it bubbleheaded dorks started liking brown brigade? and they cluttered up the shows and made them shit.
I'd be stoked to be selling them merch at the shows *lol* There's already retarded little girls trying to pick them up and retarded little boys trying to kick the shit out of each other at the shows. It's more money and support for the band *shrug* It's annoying, but meh.

And I had to put up with a bunch of 12 year old weiner at shows with their mothers when I was still really into Sum 41 - so really...how different can Avril fans be? haha

Hopefully they just buy the albums and stuff, and stay away from underground boards like this one. Win win, right?

Yeah, seriously guys, we're talking as if Sum 41 fans are so mature and cool... For the most part, we're not.

Dave said he doesnt think its ALL about the money though.

I never said he did. Nor did I say it was. I am not Dave, therefore I can say things, and it doesn't have to have anything to do with Dave's opinion - like that it brings in more money. I, personally, want the guys to get more money so they can tour more etc. etc. That's ME. Not Dave.

What I said prior to the more money for the band bit, was that it's their music reaching out and touching more people and more people's lives - which is what it is (or should be, and is with Dave and the boys) all about.

i just dont want BB or Sum 41 to turn into a fad

like having people come just so they can be cool and say "OMG i went to thheir show" and shit like that. cheapens it all.

Ah. Don't worry too much man.

It's always happened, every album that Sum 41 put out. There was the fad-fans.

Just gotta take them with a grain of salt...they'll get bored quickly, and move on and be gone. It's annoying - but generally pretty short-lived.

yeah i hate those guys, fad-fans... they suck.

and i really hope we wont see stupid pop lovers Avril fans at sum 41 shows.

stop saying that avril fans only listen to pop. again avril is the only pop artist i listen too. but it does bug me when people say i only like a few sums songs because of avril. if they came on tns that would suck.

Just to clarify, I like Avril's music. Not so much her latest album but the second one.

I'm also a die-hard Sum 41 fan, and I love Billy Talent, Blink 182, Alkaline Trio, Letter Kills, Alexisonfire, etc.

I don't really care that much. I think it's good that Sum 41 has some publicity. I don't care much about the fans. It'll be cool if they discover Sum 41 and genuinely like them.

Chances are, with Underclass Hero being more poppier than their previous two albums, it might catch on. But mainly because of songs like With Me and Best of Me.

Yeah, that i think the reason why With Me is on Avril's myspace.
right now, its THE song that can maybe attract more people to the sums...

It's awesome that she's advertising their album, and the choice of song is really sweet.

The fact is that the Sums will indeed get more publicity, personally I reckon thats all that matters! They didn't get enough publicity or credit for Underclass Hero so everylittle helps! And though With Me was written about/for Avril, I think.. could be a little bit of sign that With Me will be the next single? Avrils shot of early publicity for Deryck.. dunno! Cause' With Me will appeal to a lot of music lovers not just Sum fans! Its just one of those songs!!

yeah, i'm pretty sure With Me is gonna be the next single, but Best of Me was the song written about/for Avril.

Um, what? Have you even listened to the lyrics?

With Me is clearly about Avril.

I think With Me and Best of Me are both written for Av, but With Me is the one that's for sure written for her.

Hello, he makes references to both a romantic relationship and a wedding.
