I really hate to say it but do you ever think that sum 41 copies songs?
I mean mainly their newer stuff. For example parts of confusions and frustrations are almost idenical to parts of aliens exist by blink 182. Also the song take a look at yourself is very similar to welcome to the black parade by my chemical romance (mainly the veses of each) And I just noticed this one but walking disaster reminds me alot of anthem part 2 by blink 182. And the intro is a little like speak of the devil. O yea and someone said that look at me is a john lennon song, and they didn't say it was a cover?
Some others that have some resemblence are house of wolves by mcr and the jester. (not much though). I think there were more too but I forgot. Any way I just brought it to your attention but I have total fathe in sum 41 but sometimes you just have to stop and think.......

Maybe you should delete this, This has been said too many times

n00b

pot calling the kettle black much?

Yea I thought it might have been posted times before but I wasn't sure, I just wanted your guys' opinions

ahahah he joined one day before him and he's calling him a n00b

Well dude thats pretty much old news, cuz if wanna look up hard, you can find that every Sum 41 is pretty much sounds like anything else, but so as other bands, if you look closer.

Mr. Amsterdam for example sounds like Offspring's Dammit I Changed Again
The Bitter End sounds like Metallica's Battery. the riff sounds more like Metallica's Through The Never.
oh, and Best of Me sounds like Hoobastank's The Reason.

yet i dont think anyone really cares, cuz the sums do this best! :D

Well, I 't think that Sum 41' "Look at me" is a bit different.

Whats wrong with playing stuff that is popular? Even if it's sounds kinda close, its just whats ppl like.

yes i found that out later but some moron was on here once trying to say that it was originally a john lennon song..sorry

o yea and sum 41's song are way better than any of those other ones

I've always believed that it's not about any one particular element of the music, but about the whole thing that matters.

Just because a rhythm guitar part or a melody or something sounds similar to that of another song doesn't mean it was "ripped off", because if you take every part of the song as a whole, it's all together a different song.

Sure, The Bitter End uses some similar techniques and writing styles as Metallica did with Battery, but they didn't literally take the chords out of Battery and re-record them as a different song.

Furthermore, even if Sum 41 intentionally made a song of theirs sound like someone else's song, that doesn't even in and of itself qualify as "ripping off". Bands inspire each other and borrow from each other all the time. If bands never emulated each other, music would never have evolved as far as it has.

As long as Sum 41, or any band for that matter, doesn't resort to straight out ripping entire songs without any of their own creativity involved, which they haven't, I really don't have a problem with these similarities between Sum songs and other songs.

yea, i dont know if this has been pointed out but theres a very similar part in "reign in blood" by slayer than after the second chorus of 88

Well to me, all those songs mentioned have only slight similarities with Sum songs, so I wouldn't call it ripping off.

Look At Me is a clear tribute to John Lennon. Not trying to copy his song.

I can't deny that there are some similarities with some sum 41's songs. For me, it's not voluntary. I mean, when you hear a song that you like, you can sometimes be influenced by it without knowing it... It happened to me : i listened to underclass hero, and when i tried to make my own songs, i was in fact playing sum 41's ones ...

haha N00B FIGHT!!

well, the main genre sum 41 fall under is pop-punk. theres only so much you can do with 4 chords, so youre bound to get some of your songs sounding like others.
its very hard to be original these days...

this kid at school keeps on telling me that blink is better then sum 41, all i say is that sum 41 can actually play live, does anyone have any other reasons why there better?

your right blink cant play live cuz they broke up

:P
