We all kind of had a hand in it. I knew Michael Maxxis from other stuff he'd done and I contacted him to do the video and he wrote a treatment that was crazier then this and we went back and re-worked a different treatment which ended up being the video you see now.
i was actually freightened the first time i saw blood in my eyes haha

Hey, Cone! Two of your big fans speaking (Dan and Oggie). We have a few questions that we'd really like you to answer, if that's okay with you.

This one might be a bit personal, concerning Sum 41 and Deryck: Is the reason why D. has become slightly fat that he was taking drugs? And if so, is that the reason why Stevo decided to drop out of the band?
Have you found a replacement for Stevo? (Or is there a chance for him to return?)
And yeah, that aside, is there a chance that you guys will start touring any time soon? (Balkan, specifically... :) ) Or maybe Warped tour or something.

And yeah, kind of a trivia question, but does Dave have a "41" tattoo?

Oh, will you ever start selling SBM shirts? (Like the one that you have, the red one. xD )

We both thank you a lot for your time, and keep on rocking! We send you greetings and respect from Serbia and we hope to see you live soon, either in Sum 41 or Operation MD <3

My question is what advice would you give to aspiring musicians/bands in the year 2013?

Thank you :)
Thx for being into Sum 41. I would say being a great live band is what most bands should be working on and thats what will make your band successful but don't forget you'll need some good songs too!

I hate house, I hate electronic music and techno. Its all garbage to me. I like things with guitar and real drums. Anything. All types of music you name it.

Thank you for doing a live chat with us. Interaction from the band is very precious to me and probably all fans.

I'd like to ask you, what are your ambitions at this stage of your career and life? And what kind of direction do you think SUM41 is heading?

Thanks again!
Glad to be hear. I wanna become a better musician and be a better performer and and writer and producer. I'm really focussed right now on just becoming better at everything right now. I love music and I want to keep driving myself to do better things.

Do you prefer a punk sound like on Underclass Hero or a heavier one like on Chuck?

Hey Cone? How are you and all the band?
Well, first I have to say I'm a big fan of Sum 41, you are the best!
And I have three questions.
1. Do you know how is Deryck? We're all concerned about him.
2. When are you going to record another album? Skumfuks are waiting!
3. What's your favourite song in Screaming Bloody Murder?

Thanks for do this :)
Greetings from Spain!

Hey Cone !
I just want to thank you for being so awesome. In my opinion Sum 41 is the best band ever and I'm proud of being a fan. Thank you so much for your music, for Sum 41 and The Operation MD. I never got the chance to see you live guys but I really hope one day I will :)

I just have a question... What's your favorite ice cream flavour ? :P
Manon.

Resident Skumfuk wrote:What was it like working with/producing the Strumbellas, considering the music was so different from sum 41? Thx for doing this!
It was great. They are all so good at what they do but the difficult part was that there were 7 of them! So we had to go through a lot of parts and figure out whos playing what and when. I listen to a lot of acoustic folk type stuff so I was pretty confident I could nail it with them.
