...Deryck will ever write an autobiography?

I think he's definitely interesting and creative enough to do so at some point way down the line.

Do you think he would, and would you buy it? If so, what would you like to see discussed in there?

hell yea i'd buy it! as for the book- just like his life story and perception on creativity and the events in his life. And Sum 41 story's too. just....EVERYTHING! idk if it'll happen though! he's really lazy. But he's extremely intrspective

I don't think he will. But if he did I fucking my that! I'd even spend $40 bucks on it!

I'd pay 100$
totally.

If the book was like 500 pages then I would pay that much.

Is he able to write?

He has to be able to, he writes lyrics.

I don't think Deryck himself would come up with the idea of creating an autobiography. I don't think perceives his life to be as interesting as we all think it would be. I mean, the guy doesn't give himself enough credit for what he does in the band; he's a better guitar player and songwriter than he actually thinks.

That being said, I'd still buy it. I love reading interviews and interesting facts on the bands/musicians I support, especially if it's anything related to The Sums.

I don't care about the content, fuck everybody.

i'd get the audiobook, if it was read by Samuel L Jackson, Morgan Freeman, or James Earl Jones.

Yeaaah

I'd like him to. It'd be nice to read his true thoughts on paper. Like Adam said, he's quite introspective and it'd be interesting to know what was going on in his head when he was writing certain albums, break down of relationships with Dave, Greig and Avril... etc.

He doesn't seem like the type of guy (at this age) to accomplish something like that or have the motivation or the urge to tell people about his life. Maybe once he's in his 60's or something he'll come around.

Yeah, I'd be excited for anything he would write- himself or something else.

this exactly

He won't. I'd buy it though.

I think that there's a couple of things to question in regards to the possibility of Deryck writing an autobiography.

First, who would read it? Deryck most likely would only write something like that if he needed money or something, and gosh, I doubt it would be a best seller... I mean, maybe it'd be cool for the Sum 41 fan, but he's nowhere near the size of x rocker from the 70s, in terms of popularity. I just don't think it would be marketable enough to get anywhere.

I could only come up with one more reason why he may not do it... is he big enough to be able to write an autobiography? This is a band that has like 3 or 4 legitimate "hits" here... this isn't Blink-182. Any of those three members of Blink could write an autobiography and it would be a decent seller. This is a band that, while it has a large fanbase, seems to be coasting out of the limelight these days. In the early-mid 2000s, you saw Deryck partying with hollywood's finest... you saw Sum 41 at the top of their game. Now, they're kind of just fading... if he wrote an autobiography, he may be viewed negatively by the media for some stupid reason. Maybe they don't think he is "important" enough to write one. Yaknow? Like, when you think of someone who writes an autobiography, you think of someone who did something huge... someone who invented something, or someone who was a political leader. I don't really think of a middle-class rocker (I call it middle-class, in terms of popularity... Sum 41 is a popular band, but they're a step down from the elite artists in terms of popularity) that really has produced just a few songs gathering mainstream attention.

Maybe they'll get that award and it can help them or something... I don't know! Maybe I underestimate them.

yeah, well said, but one thing is out of place, I mean, not in your post, it's all the truth, but in the minds of people ... cause they think that popularity is what matters, but that's bullshit, Britney was more popular than any other bitch back in the day, and what would she write in her book ? ''You know, I met a few rich guys, they paid someone to write my songs, I recorded them and then I suddenly became famous, I had to show off my pussy while getting out of a car, kiss Madonna and all that stuff.'' I mean, yes, many people would buy that book, and read it word by word, but that only questions sanity ...

what I wanna say is, that does it matter what a bunch of dickheads in the music industry think about Deryck ? I mean, I agree that his life wouldn't be any interesting for me and for many people, so the book wouldn't be popular, but when I see what is popular these days, I get a strong urge in a fragile moment, an urge to shoot myself right between my eyes ... popularity should no longer be the judge of good music, many years ago, the popular stuff was decent and cool, like, I don't know, The Beatles, The Hollies or The Animals, and also great music like Led Zeppelin or The Clash or Pearl Jam would get popular, but now, shit gets popular while the good bands are forced to work two jobs, music for fun and some other jobs to make money
