They had 2 songs... but idk popular music. I don't know one drake song. Fact. I know all the words to come on over and the woman in me. Shania Twains awesome albums. I know every word to annihilation of the wicked as well. Of course
@@nebwachamp how do you say "they had two songs" and follow it up with "idk popular music?" It's basically admitting you only listened to the songs that were radio-popular then saying you don't know popular music. It makes no sense. You can just admit you've never checked out any of their albums
Got into sum 41 at age 7. Met them when I was 18. They were the reason I started learning guitar and singing. I’m now going on a North American tour this summer with my own band.
Sum 41 has always been criminally underrated, even despite how big they were at one point. Almost the entirety of their discography fuckin slaps, and they’ve always been cool ass dudes through it all
The great part about them is all the different genres they do slap. They’re great at pop punk, but also more hard rock, metal, and even some their more straight up pop songs are great
Yeah, I think the thing is, most people don’t wanna take them seriously. They just heard fat lip and probably think they’re trying to be a limp bizkit knockoff. For pop punk fans though, there’s so much to enjoy.
I saw these guys in concert with Simple Plan a couple weeks ago at Radius. I swear the whole place was packed. People were jumping, people were singing at the top of their lungs, and just having a great time. When the concert ended we were hearing songs by Blink, Yellowcard, and RHCP people were singing along and I swear I finally found my people that night!
I just went to their final concert in Boston this past tuesday and it was the same way. They played with Interrupters opening and that experience was very similar. I felt welcomed and like I belonged there. Everything was joyful and amazing.
Sum 41 definitely needed a video made on them. They're pop punk legends to me and definitely deserve their flowers. Also, as an Indian, watching (and hearing) Dave Baksh, a brown guy shred in a major band was super inspirational to me. Representation makes a world of a difference to POC.
The thing is, they were Pop Punk for two albums (Half Hour of Power & All Killer no Filler). Does this look Infected and Chuck were VERY far from Pop imho.
Got it for Xmas when I was like... 7? Actually, my sister did lmao, we were SHOOK, not at all what I expected. I think it might be why I listen to deathcore/slam/etc. Now
@@pootassopick I would say chuck sounded nothing like the albums before. Half hour of Power, All Killer No Filller and DTLI? had a lot of pop punk influence. Chuck was much darker.
The only bad part about a Brownsound solo is that they were never long enough. I tried a million times to play the one from Hooch and never could get it.
I remember when my brother bought Does This Look Infected and my mom decided (completely based on the cover art) that it was like vulgar or some crap... That was one of the best albums of my time in teens.
Was a young lad walking through Target at the tender age of 10. I saw the cover for All Killer No Filler and took a chance. My life was forever changed. Thank you Sum 41
Been a fan of this band my whole life. What has impressed me the most is how they've been able to change, but not alienate their core fanbase. They have kept a diehard fanbase for 20+ years. It's downright impressive. Also so happy for Deryck and his turnaround. For a while there in 2013, it wasn't looking good.
The songwriting on Underclass Hero is fantastic, a lot of the songs have the same or very similar chord progressions but the way they're put together is great, seems like a slept on album
Exactly. It lacks in musical variety so it gets boring if you just listen to it while doing other stuff but the way the storys are told on it, makes it a great listen through
Being a 90s kid abd growing up in the 2000s finding my musical taste, Sum 41 was the band that got me into music. They should be way bigger but hey they've stood the test of time.
Deryck is such a great vocalist, especially considering pop punk vocalists usually aren't all that great as singers. You can find videos of him performing in studio and he sounds fantastic, there's a recent performance of Never There that really highlights it.
Exactly!!! He could do soft ballad vocals, strong rock vocals, snotty pop punk vocals, and even did borderline hardcore and metal vocals! He even covered Killer Queen decently!!! Definitely one of my top 3 singers from the whole pop punk scene for sure.
Chuck and SBM are absolute masterpieces. I still can`t believe how good those albums are. Especially SBM. The song structures, melodies, vocal lines, it`s on another level. I still hope they would release something like that in the future.
If we’re talking technicality, then hands down, absolutely, 100% no cap. If we’re talking ability to make the best and most iconic pop punk riffs, then you could definitely argue many different ways. But yeah, Brownsound is an absolute monster of a guitarist
@@atomicpunk2360 I still wonder if it's Deryck or Dave who wrote the riffs, although maybe it is Dave 'cause Underclass Hero felt a bit lacking in sick riffage.
I always thought they were underrated. Definitely one of my favorite bands. All the way from Half hour of Power to Order in Decline. When they would dress up like 80s rockers during shows, it was great. They are SO talented
Sum 41 is the most metal pop punk band of all time. Their cover of Master of Puppets is testament enough to that. Does This Look Infected is actually my pick for their best, with Chuck coming after, THEN All Killer.
The first album I ever bought was All Killer No Filler after I heard “Makes No Difference” and “Fat Lip” on a PS2 demo “MX 2002 Ft. Ricky Carmichael.” First rock band I ever listened to and the band that started the journey to the metal fan I am today. Still love Sum 41, and I’d have to say their best album was “Does This Look Infected” followed closely by “Screaming Bloody Murder.” Great video.
Does This Look Infected is maybe my all time favorite album by a band I otherwise don’t care about. They’re fine enough but I’ve tried to love their other albums and couldn’t care. But lord do just absolutely love DTLI
I respect A LOT all the insight you give about your life. That is what punk rock used to mean for me and my friends, to be honest, to have your struggles but help a brotherhood. Really going deep into your videos brother, keep up the good work!
I was so obsessed with Sum 41 as a teen. I bought 2 of all of their CD's so I can keep one in the plastic because I thought it would be worth something one day.. Hahaha. First concert at age 11, Billy Talent opened up for them and nobody who they were. What an amazing time to be alive.
Billy Talent is my favorite band and I manged to see them a couple years ago, amazing show. Sum is in my Top 3 with LP and I saw them in Toronto a month ago. One of the best days of my life.
same i was obsessed!!!! was one of my first concerts as a kid... and i think bily talent was also there u r right.. wow that was so long ago.. crazy amanda bunk face LOL
@@lyndza1989 hahaha YESSS what a good memory. I think at that same concert, there was another opener, Gold Finger? And the drummer had some guy from the crowd grab a butter finger chocolate bar out of his ass with his mouth. What a great time to be alive.
Despite my overall taste trending toward either heavier or stranger metal, I can always go back to Chuck and love it just as much as I did in middle school. Does This Look Infected? is pretty dope too. Metally Sum 41 has aged very well. It was the perfect storm of some of the best qualities of their influences while also being distinct and accessible in way that didn't feel watered down.
Been rocking with Sum 41 since 2001, one of the best bands to ever do it. I’m also a much bigger fan of their pop punk style than the metal leaning stuff, but I have huge respect for them regarding the latter, it was a ballsy move for the guys who got famous off the All Killer singles to put out an album like Chuck.
Dude i'm so glad someone says this. I have been saying forever that i always saw them as the most talented poppunk band. Just because they were poppunk with all the catchy hooks we love but with much more skilled musicians behind it who can play more than just powerchords. That in turn leads to a more varied and better written repertoire. Tons of respect for these guys.
I saw Sum 41 in Ontario with my mom and cousin after the first album. I remember a girl sitting by the sound guy “hey you want a drink?” And my mom comes from nowhere “HES 13!!!!” Lmfao
Chuck is one of my fave albums of all time and influenced everything about me as an individual to this day, that being said every album is perfect to me
Well done with the video, Finn! It's actually really odd, yet interesting how underrated Sum 41 is. I've personally always loved Sum 41. Discovered them oddly enough while watching the 2005 Fantastic Four movie. Heard their song Noots during, if memory serves me right, the snowboarding scene. Had no idea who the band was that was playing this wicked song, but I needed to know as soon as I could! I've loved the band ever since. Chuck definitely ranks at #1 for me.
Totally agree. Never understood why people dismiss it. Mostdays I prefer it over All Killer even. So glad it got a vinyl pressing a while back, I figured it never would happen.
My favourite band, so so underrated. Every album slaps, they dont have one bad song. I love them with my whole heart. Ive been to their concert twice and had the best time. The interaction with crowd was amazing, whole band was smiling the whole time and the energy!! EVERYONE was jumping and singing, minimum people with phones, just having a great time. Nothing but love for these guys!
I remember seeing Sun 41 at the warped tour in the "All Killer No Filler" days. Dave was shredding in between songs and the crowd then didn't really know what to do with it.
Really enjoyed this video, glad to see people showing this band so much respect in the comments. My one addition to this would be that people often overlook the band's NOFX influence. They started out as a NOFX covers band. Listen to "Leave it alone" by them and tell me you can't hear that Deryck based his singing style on it.
Screaming bloody murder and order in decline are my favorites of them. They both have brilliant pace changes, which I think is an important earmark of the best metal music around. In a recent interview deryck said that sum 41’s next album will a double album that’s half pop-punk, half metal. It’ll be brilliant.
These guys always have been way too underrated, glad they're getting more of the recognition for being true artists in music that I always felt they deserved.
There are songs on all of those albums that I like. Whether it's the angsty "Fat Lip", the light catchiness of "In Too Deep", or the darker tone of "Pieces" and "With Me", I feel like a song is good if it sticks with you and creates an emotion inside of you, and each of these songs and many more from Sum 41 do just that. More than anything, they bring back great memories of high school and college when times were simpler.
I met Dave in the mid 2000s, we got into a conversation about “pain for pleasure” and I encouraged him to do an entire album in that genre. He said he was trying to influence the band to move in that direction while they wanted to “play it safe”, Dave’s words. He told me he was planning his exit from Sum to start a metal band. I was surprised when it actually happened.
I've been wanting to see these guys live since I was 12. Last weekend, at 23 years of age, I finally saw them live at Rock Werchter. Loved it, only wish they performed a bit later in the day, and performed a few other songs. But I still loved it, I love this band, I hope I get to see them more.
"and performed a few other songs." Saw them in Toronto and thought the exact same thing lol. They did perform some super old school songs like Summer because it was the 22 anniversary of half of hour of power which hyped up the dude a few seats beside me like crazy. That's the problem though, they have waaay to many good songs and if they did perform all of them, it would be like 4-5 hour set.
Sum 41 definitely was my gateway into metal, and I’m definitely excited for the double album since I’ve been kinda nostalgic for their more pop punk stuff lately.
Sum 41 was the first rock show I ever went to. I saw them in the 4th grade during the Chuck tour, they really were firing on all cylinders at that time. they were the perfect mix of pop punk with legitimate hard rock and metal influences. admittedly I stopped listening after Underclass Hero but they truly hold a special place in my heart and my musical history.
I played ice hockey with the drummer from goldfinger and dave brownsound from sum41 years back in 04 in Canada, one of the best nights of my life such a blast , and I cant skate or play hockey, but best fun . Ive teched for Goldfinger so knew darrin through that ,
Sum 41 has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager. I've honestly fully enjoyed everything they've put out, even their newer stuff, and I feel like Deryck still displays his musical talent as he matures, very different from someone like Blink 182 who floated in my same iPod playlists back in high school.
Warms my heart to see how many people acknowledging how good of musicians they actually are, and always have been. When AKNF dropped, I was 8 and it was the first CD I ever listened to from beginning to end. Can honestly say few things have had an impact on my life like that album. Fat Lip was the song my wife and I walked out to at our wedding reception. IMHO, it’s the best pop punk song of all time. They deserve so much more credit than they get (as mentioned, finally getting more). They are one of the best live acts you can ever see and even now in their 40’s, they still bring an immense amount of energy that few can bring to this day. Can’t wait for their new album.
Sum-41 was always my preferred choice over blink. I connected with them in ways I didn't with other bands. I felt like they grew with me in my musical tastes over time. I'm definitely that fan that holds Chuck as the high mark but love everything they've done. Tho unrelated in genre, they're up there with Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold as one of my all time favorite bands.
I'd put Sum 41 ahead of Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold easily! These are the only non pop punk bands that I love. I'd put Yellowcard ahead of A7X because I like Yellowcard more than A7X, but they're still awesome! Linkin Park used to be in my top 15, but I had The Moody Blues, Bad Religion, and Dokken got in the way. And A7X are easily in my top 25.
As much as Chuck literally changed the trajectory of my taste in music, i absolutely loved screaming bloody murder, even more now that I'm older. I consider it their Folie à Deux in many ways
When you mentioned that Sum 41 are innovative and influential because of the fusion of pop punk and metal with a little bit of rap, I felt that I agree but immediately thought of Zebrahead which is straight up a band that fuses even more genres, they have a singing lead vocalist and a rapper (pop punk, rapcore, heavy and thrash metal, ska punk), and they never got the attention they deserved and I'm not even sure If you know Zebrahead, because I never heard you mention them ever before. I hope that this comment will resonate with other people here too. I think you should do a video of the strange history of Zebrahead
Me and one of my best friends are the only people I know that know and enjoy Zebrahead A LOT. I do think they are one the most underrated bands ever. Damn, their songs always have good and catchy choruses in a consistency I've never seen with any other band in the genre. And they're also very productive as well. They may sound a little repetitive after a while, but I still love everything they released. Btw, Sum 41 is my fav band ever and I'm glad Finn finally did a video about them.
I was just going to make a comment about them until i saw this. I love Zebrahead! Waste of Mind and MFZB are amazing albums, also showing two different sides to them with the first being more funky and hip-hoppy party music and the latter more serious and emotional stuff. Great songwriting and musicianship on both. Plus catchy as all hell.
I was practicing "Someday" on guitar just last night. Zebrahead are kind of one of pop-punk's best kept secrets. I didn't really keep up after Justin left, but those first three albums are fantastic.
Thanks for making a SUM 41 video, they really deserve more credit than they get. But also, thanks to you for making this videos about specific artists like The Offspring, Good Charlotte and now this. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina and a little bit younger than this bands normal audience, so getting all this context and cool stories from all these bands and the perspective from someone who knows and clearly lived through this era in the US is really cool. Keep'em coming!
I found Sum 41 through the first Spider-Man movie where they had a music video in the bonus stuff, they were actually the first music artist I ever found I liked. Later I got the Chuck album and played that thing to death. I haven't really kept up with them recently but I always enjoy going back every once in a while.
When I was a teenager I went on a houseboat trip with my parents for two weeks and forgot to bring my CD wallet with me, so the only album I had to listen to the entire time was All Killer No Filler. I never got sick of it and still think that album is fucking great. I still play Hell Song and Over My Head on my guitar on a regular basis because they are the perfect blend of oldschool metal and modern pop punk and just so much fun to play.
This was one of the first bands that got me into rock/metal, and until this day Screaming Bloody Murder is one of my favourite albums. Really looking forward to their double album, but I'm also a little concerned about them doing another pop punk record. Also saw them live 3 times, they are still pretty amazing.
With Brownsound in the band, I personally think the pop punk part of the double album will be leagues better than Underclass Hero, which is personally my least favorite Sum 41 record.
I grew up in the same town that these guys are from and my parents actually still live there (Ajax,Ontario,Canada). I remember when “All Killer No Filler” came out, being in 8th grade and the album being sold out at every store in the area. The stores couldn’t keep them in stock. A lot of people hated on them but they definitely inspired a lot of kids in the area to start bands and at one time we had a really great music scene here and quite a few small local venues that had all ages shows every weekend and had a lot of great local bands. I’ve always been a big supporter of these guys and am happy that they’re still going strong after all these years.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Sum 41 is working on a double album called “heaven and hell” which one half is pop punk and the other is metal. It seams like the perfect end to your video and the thesis throughout it.
Although he didn't mention it outright, at 17:23 he showed part of a Louder article that was discussing it. Maybe he ran out of time on the vid and cut it out
I was a pre-teen at the time, and once I heard Fat Lip on Much Music I was hooked. Definitely a stepping stone into heavier music, nu-metal came to me soon after, and now I listen to 'extreme' metal. Was always a bigger fan of their heavier songs, like Still Waiting. Lost interest when Dave left and the albums after Chuck sucked imo. Does This Look Infected? is my favourite.
Returning here a year later to say RIP SUM 41 So greatful for all the great music they created and I hope they enjoy their free time and success beyond the band
They had a great run. To be honest, I had no idea how talented they were until maybe 4-5 years ago or something like that when I heard their Master of Puppets cover and was blown away at how good it sounded. The drumming and bass were amazing, especially during James' solo Cone played the bassline differently (someone described it as ascending rather than descending) and I was just like "Holy shit this sounds so much better this way" and that's when I discovered Chuck and this was either not long before or not long after Order in Decline came out which I think is also an incredible album. I'd really like to catch them on this final tour with The Offspring.
Commenting after the retirement announcement: I love your assessment of their albums and have no notes in that regard. I wish them well and hope to scream bloody murder at the show with them on their final tour. If I don't see you again, may the pit be merciful and abundant.
It would be really nice to see a Video about how music videos changed Pop Punk. Bands like Sum 41, Blink 182, Good Charlotte really blew up because of them. And after thst with youtube it was really a drive to keep them alive through the 2010s
I only discovered them during my university days 6 years ago but they quickly become my favorite band ever. I still can't find any vocalists that have the same feel as Deryck to this day P.S I agree that Chuck (which is my number 1) and OID are the best albums they have ever released. Not a knock on DTLI?, AKNF, and the other albums though. I still listen to them regularly, especially UH. It's nice that Sum 41 have pretty much any sounds for everyone
Screaming Bloody Murder never seems to get the love that it deserves. Deryck's lyrics are so thoughtful and heartfelt on that album, plus that's where his voice really comes into his own imo. But the thing that really stands out to be about that album is the way that quite a few of the songs stray from the traditional verse/chorus structure, going for something a little more experimental. Not to say that it's proggy, but it struck me as pretty profound for a band associated with pock punk. Outside of some of Green Day's songs during their rock opera phase, I hadn't really heard another band of the same genre do something like that. I guess what I'm trying to say is listen to SBM for fuck's sake, that album means the world to me and got me through one of the shittest times in my life.
People can say what they want, but Underclass Hero was by far my favorite Sum 41 album. I’ve been a fan since chuck, but UH is the one that speaks to me the most.
My first show ever was Sum41 when they were still touring for all killer No filler. I owe this band so much. They were the reason that got me in to "real" punk, metal, and hardcore. I first saw them with the Canadian hardcore band No Warning opening for them. Being an addict and alcoholic myself I look up to Deryk alot. He overcame his demons and came back stronger than ever!
Seeing this 2 years later it’s interesting to see the released a top ten song and became the band with the longest span between songs that hit #1 on the alt chart. 21 years between fat lip and landmines.
This was a great breakdown of an amazing band. Thanks for putting in the work, man. As a slightly younger fan, I really enjoyed seeing a time lapse of Sum 41's career
I've always loved the obvious Iron Maiden influence, especially in the guitar sound. Maiden made their success injecting original punk attitude into their early metal influences and Sum 41 made their success injecting Maiden into their punk origins. The circle of life, or something eh?
when I think of sum 41 and all killer it is literally like the true end of my childhood - that summer of 01 was skateboarding, watching x games, playing video games, listening to sum 41 and other pop punk bands, and then 9/11 happened lol it has a special place in my heart
Sum 41 was my first rock show at 15/16 years old. It was definitely my introduction into metal as the concert was in a hotel conference room and the whole crowd was one giant mosh pit. Such a fun show and a great band.
Sum 41 is one of the only bands from that time period that I still keep up with. "Order In Decline" was their best album in a long time and I can't wait for what they'll do next. They've never been straight pop-punk, and they always seem to come up with a plethora of pleasant surprises. Also, Dave is THE MAN!
I remember when that first album came out, seeing the video on MTV and thinking, "I gotta pick this album up." Which was supremely weird, as I was (and still am) deeply into Metal and never cared for Pop-Punk. Sum 41 is the only Pop-Punk band I ever actually liked, but again, weirdly, they kind of lost me with Chuck and I'm not sure why. I remember buying Chuck and just being unimpressed with it and thinking it was completely forgettable, but that could be due to my Metal brain. When something is close but NOT QUITE Metal, my brain tells me, "Well, we should just listen to some actual Metal and not waste our time with this." After that, I fell off the bandwagon completely with Sum 41, in spite of really loving the first two albums. Maybe it's time for me to revisit it all, now that it's 20-years later and I'm an old man.
Do it. You won't regret it. I do think ALL of their albums hold up until today, even the more polarizing ones (these ones have aged very well and sound like they were released ahead of their time). Does This Look Infected and Chuck are my favorites though. Also, Godamn I'm Dead Again from 13 Voices is a must!
Great video. Was introduced to Sum 41 with Underclass Hero and it was on repeat for about 5 years. Personally my favorite and most nostalgic album. Bloody murder was a great album since I had been previously listening to metal and hardcore music. It was cool hearing a band I considered to be pop punk play some harder and progressive melodic stuff.
Great video! Thanks for the blast into the past. I was a Sum fan since Grab the devil by the horns. Those guys were a huge part of my growth from Punk/pop-punk into metal and you really hit the analysis of this band on the head. I must've watched the DVDs from Does this Look Infected a hundred times. Now I've got to go dig out my Chuck CD...
"Does This Look Infected" is the perfect pop-punk/metal album. I rarely can listen to an entire album but I can legit enjoy every song on this. And "Mr. Amsterdam" for me is as good as any metal/punk/hard rock song from the late 90s to today. "Chuck" is a little inconsistent but still has some great songs.

@@JohnBiddleMusic I really like their slow songs too.

I had the same experience in Austria! I swear finding your people is the best feeling ever I still feel so nostalgic
I just went to their final concert in Boston this past tuesday and it was the same way. They played with Interrupters opening and that experience was very similar. I felt welcomed and like I belonged there. Everything was joyful and amazing.
@@Alienator98 I am so happy to hear that
Sum 41 definitely needed a video made on them. They're pop punk legends to me and definitely deserve their flowers. Also, as an Indian, watching (and hearing) Dave Baksh, a brown guy shred in a major band was super inspirational to me. Representation makes a world of a difference to POC.
The thing is, they were Pop Punk for two albums (Half Hour of Power & All Killer no Filler). Does this look Infected and Chuck were VERY far from Pop imho.
@@DeKrischa nah lol still pop
As a black guy yellow cards drummer was my awakening as a kid
Brownsound rules! best member hands down
@@DeKrischa the dude writes a super wholesome comment and the thing you manage to hone in on is arguing about genres lmao. Never change, music nerds.
Chuck is such an underrated album. It’s a phenomenal album.
Got it for Xmas when I was like... 7? Actually, my sister did lmao, we were SHOOK, not at all what I expected. I think it might be why I listen to deathcore/slam/etc. Now
Chuck is great, but so many of the songs on their sound like other songs that released before that album.
its their best album by far
agreed, my favorite record of them all. much harder and darker the usual punkrock stuff they do
@@pootassopick I would say chuck sounded nothing like the albums before. Half hour of Power, All Killer No Filller and DTLI? had a lot of pop punk influence. Chuck was much darker.
That "You guys smoke? Well you do now"-line cracks me up to this day.
Dave coming out of the water ripping that solo is still nearly as chill-inducing as when I first saw it as like a 15-year-old. Absolutely incredible.
The only bad part about a Brownsound solo is that they were never long enough. I tried a million times to play the one from Hooch and never could get it.
nah my uncle killed that shit
Why is bro acting like the dude playing that very mid solo is like Slash in November Rain
The guitarist coming out if the water rocked to me to and I was 19 when I saw it .
I remember when my brother bought Does This Look Infected and my mom decided (completely based on the cover art) that it was like vulgar or some crap... That was one of the best albums of my time in teens.
One of my favourite albums of all time. Up there with Millencolin Pennybridge Pioneers, Blink 182 Enema of the State, and Green Day American Idiot.
I remember my mom bought it for me
Same thing happened with my parents and my brother, little did they know I myself had a copy hah
My parents called the CD shop to complain that they sold 12 year old me the album.
Was a young lad walking through Target at the tender age of 10. I saw the cover for All Killer No Filler and took a chance. My life was forever changed. Thank you Sum 41
Sum 41 is one of the most underrated bands ever! Hope to see then live soon 🤞
I would say they are outside of the pop punk world but in the music industry no they aren’t
Been a fan of this band my whole life. What has impressed me the most is how they've been able to change, but not alienate their core fanbase. They have kept a diehard fanbase for 20+ years. It's downright impressive. Also so happy for Deryck and his turnaround. For a while there in 2013, it wasn't looking good.
Should be mentioned how great these guys are live, they pull the audience in so easily and are very tight.
The songwriting on Underclass Hero is fantastic, a lot of the songs have the same or very similar chord progressions but the way they're put together is great, seems like a slept on album
Exactly. It lacks in musical variety so it gets boring if you just listen to it while doing other stuff but the way the storys are told on it, makes it a great listen through
Underclass Hero is def slept on. It is so good.
Being a 90s kid abd growing up in the 2000s finding my musical taste, Sum 41 was the band that got me into music. They should be way bigger but hey they've stood the test of time.
Deryck is such a great vocalist, especially considering pop punk vocalists usually aren't all that great as singers. You can find videos of him performing in studio and he sounds fantastic, there's a recent performance of Never There that really highlights it.
Exactly!!! He could do soft ballad vocals, strong rock vocals, snotty pop punk vocals, and even did borderline hardcore and metal vocals! He even covered Killer Queen decently!!! Definitely one of my top 3 singers from the whole pop punk scene for sure.
Fnnnf
Have you heard him covering the catalyst live with mike shinoda? He's just great.
I really like his vocals in "catching fire acoustic". Man's got a great voice.
Hes also a great music producer. The man is just a talent powerhouse
I used to be friends with their friend who contacted HIV and I had no idea that song was about her. That's crazy. She seems to be doing great btw.
Glad to hear she’s good!
Chuck and SBM are absolute masterpieces. I still can`t believe how good those albums are. Especially SBM. The song structures, melodies, vocal lines, it`s on another level. I still hope they would release something like that in the future.
I still think Dave Brown was one of the best guitarist in the genre hands down.
If we’re talking technicality, then hands down, absolutely, 100% no cap. If we’re talking ability to make the best and most iconic pop punk riffs, then you could definitely argue many different ways.
But yeah, Brownsound is an absolute monster of a guitarist
@@atomicpunk2360 I still wonder if it's Deryck or Dave who wrote the riffs, although maybe it is Dave 'cause Underclass Hero felt a bit lacking in sick riffage.
my uncle Dave was a monsterrr, you might not believe me but he is 😂
I always thought they were underrated. Definitely one of my favorite bands. All the way from Half hour of Power to Order in Decline. When they would dress up like 80s rockers during shows, it was great. They are SO talented
Get ready for heaven and hell! It's a double album going back to pop punk and metal
Sum 41 is the most metal pop punk band of all time. Their cover of Master of Puppets is testament enough to that. Does This Look Infected is actually my pick for their best, with Chuck coming after, THEN All Killer.
For sure.
I've always thought The Bitter End was a direct homage to Metallica's Battery
I’m exact same. 🎉
The first album I ever bought was All Killer No Filler after I heard “Makes No Difference” and “Fat Lip” on a PS2 demo “MX 2002 Ft. Ricky Carmichael.” First rock band I ever listened to and the band that started the journey to the metal fan I am today. Still love Sum 41, and I’d have to say their best album was “Does This Look Infected” followed closely by “Screaming Bloody Murder.” Great video.
Does this look infected, is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
Honestly AKNF HHOP DTLI and Chuck are incredible.
that album was so fucking huge
Undeniably good album... unfortunately written off as just another mall punk band
Is*
Does This Look Infected is maybe my all time favorite album by a band I otherwise don’t care about. They’re fine enough but I’ve tried to love their other albums and couldn’t care. But lord do just absolutely love DTLI
I respect A LOT all the insight you give about your life. That is what punk rock used to mean for me and my friends, to be honest, to have your struggles but help a brotherhood. Really going deep into your videos brother, keep up the good work!
I was so obsessed with Sum 41 as a teen. I bought 2 of all of their CD's so I can keep one in the plastic because I thought it would be worth something one day.. Hahaha. First concert at age 11, Billy Talent opened up for them and nobody who they were. What an amazing time to be alive.
Sum 41 and billy talent are my favourite bands , must of been a great concert
@@GreyGooseNWO I’m 31 now and still remember that concert so vividly 😂
Billy Talent is my favorite band and I manged to see them a couple years ago, amazing show. Sum is in my Top 3 with LP and I saw them in Toronto a month ago. One of the best days of my life.
same i was obsessed!!!! was one of my first concerts as a kid... and i think bily talent was also there u r right.. wow that was so long ago.. crazy amanda bunk face LOL
@@lyndza1989 hahaha YESSS what a good memory. I think at that same concert, there was another opener, Gold Finger? And the drummer had some guy from the crowd grab a butter finger chocolate bar out of his ass with his mouth. What a great time to be alive.
Despite my overall taste trending toward either heavier or stranger metal, I can always go back to Chuck and love it just as much as I did in middle school. Does This Look Infected? is pretty dope too. Metally Sum 41 has aged very well. It was the perfect storm of some of the best qualities of their influences while also being distinct and accessible in way that didn't feel watered down.
They didn't waste their time becoming casualties of society.
Been rocking with Sum 41 since 2001, one of the best bands to ever do it. I’m also a much bigger fan of their pop punk style than the metal leaning stuff, but I have huge respect for them regarding the latter, it was a ballsy move for the guys who got famous off the All Killer singles to put out an album like Chuck.
Dude i'm so glad someone says this. I have been saying forever that i always saw them as the most talented poppunk band. Just because they were poppunk with all the catchy hooks we love but with much more skilled musicians behind it who can play more than just powerchords. That in turn leads to a more varied and better written repertoire.
Tons of respect for these guys.
For me I struggle to split “All killer, No Filler” & “Underclass Hero” as my favourite album from them. Those two albums are pure perfection.
Underclass hero is so underrated, that was always one of my favorites too
I agree the songwriting is fantastic. I also like half ourbof power. Other albums for me have been hit and miss.
Chuck and does this look infected is miles better than both 💀
they do have given a lot more songs in UH, i'll give you that, and it sounds more mature. I'd rate it 3rd best. then DTLI
Underclass hero for me.
I saw Sum 41 in Ontario with my mom and cousin after the first album. I remember a girl sitting by the sound guy “hey you want a drink?” And my mom comes from nowhere “HES 13!!!!” Lmfao
Chuck is one of my fave albums of all time and influenced everything about me as an individual to this day, that being said every album is perfect to me
Chuck is such a great album
Chuck is full of underrated songs.
Well done with the video, Finn! It's actually really odd, yet interesting how underrated Sum 41 is. I've personally always loved Sum 41. Discovered them oddly enough while watching the 2005 Fantastic Four movie. Heard their song Noots during, if memory serves me right, the snowboarding scene. Had no idea who the band was that was playing this wicked song, but I needed to know as soon as I could! I've loved the band ever since. Chuck definitely ranks at #1 for me.
Half Hour of Power is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Such an amazing album.
Already on its own it’s a friken great pop punk album
I still love this ep
Totally agree. Never understood why people dismiss it. Mostdays I prefer it over All Killer even. So glad it got a vinyl pressing a while back, I figured it never would happen.
I 100% agree the album has some of their best songs it's pop punk at its best. Why people dismiss is as some kind of demo is beyond me.
My favourite band, so so underrated. Every album slaps, they dont have one bad song. I love them with my whole heart. Ive been to their concert twice and had the best time. The interaction with crowd was amazing, whole band was smiling the whole time and the energy!! EVERYONE was jumping and singing, minimum people with phones, just having a great time. Nothing but love for these guys!
I remember seeing Sun 41 at the warped tour in the "All Killer No Filler" days. Dave was shredding in between songs and the crowd then didn't really know what to do with it.
Beautiful
Sun?
@@corruptpx bro it's a typo don't be an idiot. If that confused you then I mean, god damn man.
Really enjoyed this video, glad to see people showing this band so much respect in the comments. My one addition to this would be that people often overlook the band's NOFX influence. They started out as a NOFX covers band. Listen to "Leave it alone" by them and tell me you can't hear that Deryck based his singing style on it.
This band has always been under appreciated. I love all their stuff
We're All To Blame is one of my favorite songs of all time. Not just of Sum 41's catalogue. It has a lot of layers, takes you for a ride.
Sum 41 had a huge impact on my life and musical history. Even though I don't like their newer stuff, they'll always have a special place in my life.
Screaming bloody murder and order in decline are my favorites of them. They both have brilliant pace changes, which I think is an important earmark of the best metal music around.
In a recent interview deryck said that sum 41’s next album will a double album that’s half pop-punk, half metal. It’ll be brilliant.
These guys always have been way too underrated, glad they're getting more of the recognition for being true artists in music that I always felt they deserved.
There are songs on all of those albums that I like. Whether it's the angsty "Fat Lip", the light catchiness of "In Too Deep", or the darker tone of "Pieces" and "With Me", I feel like a song is good if it sticks with you and creates an emotion inside of you, and each of these songs and many more from Sum 41 do just that. More than anything, they bring back great memories of high school and college when times were simpler.
I met Dave in the mid 2000s, we got into a conversation about “pain for pleasure” and I encouraged him to do an entire album in that genre. He said he was trying to influence the band to move in that direction while they wanted to “play it safe”, Dave’s words. He told me he was planning his exit from Sum to start a metal band. I was surprised when it actually happened.
I would like hear Dave’s metal band
@@tompatchak8706 I believe it was called Brown Birgade
@@rorysmakingamovie solid?”$
@@rorysmakingamovie thanks
@@tompatchak8706 I like Sum 41, but I didn't like Brown Brigade.
When metal bands went pop
Sum 41 went metal
I've been wanting to see these guys live since I was 12. Last weekend, at 23 years of age, I finally saw them live at Rock Werchter. Loved it, only wish they performed a bit later in the day, and performed a few other songs. But I still loved it, I love this band, I hope I get to see them more.
"and performed a few other songs."
Saw them in Toronto and thought the exact same thing lol. They did perform some super old school songs like Summer because it was the 22 anniversary of half of hour of power which hyped up the dude a few seats beside me like crazy. That's the problem though, they have waaay to many good songs and if they did perform all of them, it would be like 4-5 hour set.
@@thekaiser1156 they didn't perform anything from Screaming Bloody murder. Or even from their last 2 albums, which was unfortunate.
Sum 41 definitely was my gateway into metal, and I’m definitely excited for the double album since I’ve been kinda nostalgic for their more pop punk stuff lately.
I got "Does This Look Infected" when it came out and have loved it since.
That album has chops
Sum 41 was the first rock show I ever went to. I saw them in the 4th grade during the Chuck tour, they really were firing on all cylinders at that time. they were the perfect mix of pop punk with legitimate hard rock and metal influences. admittedly I stopped listening after Underclass Hero but they truly hold a special place in my heart and my musical history.
I played ice hockey with the drummer from goldfinger and dave brownsound from sum41 years back in 04 in Canada, one of the best nights of my life such a blast , and I cant skate or play hockey, but best fun . Ive teched for Goldfinger so knew darrin through that ,
Sum 41 has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager. I've honestly fully enjoyed everything they've put out, even their newer stuff, and I feel like Deryck still displays his musical talent as he matures, very different from someone like Blink 182 who floated in my same iPod playlists back in high school.
This is one of the few punk rock bands I keep going back to but never understood quite why. This video (no pun intended) sums up pretty well why I do.
Absolute giants of the genre who deserve all the respect we can give them and more
Please. Sum 41 were just discount Blink.
Warms my heart to see how many people acknowledging how good of musicians they actually are, and always have been. When AKNF dropped, I was 8 and it was the first CD I ever listened to from beginning to end. Can honestly say few things have had an impact on my life like that album. Fat Lip was the song my wife and I walked out to at our wedding reception. IMHO, it’s the best pop punk song of all time.
They deserve so much more credit than they get (as mentioned, finally getting more). They are one of the best live acts you can ever see and even now in their 40’s, they still bring an immense amount of energy that few can bring to this day. Can’t wait for their new album.
Sum-41 was always my preferred choice over blink. I connected with them in ways I didn't with other bands. I felt like they grew with me in my musical tastes over time. I'm definitely that fan that holds Chuck as the high mark but love everything they've done. Tho unrelated in genre, they're up there with Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold as one of my all time favorite bands.
I'd put Sum 41 ahead of Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold easily! These are the only non pop punk bands that I love. I'd put Yellowcard ahead of A7X because I like Yellowcard more than A7X, but they're still awesome! Linkin Park used to be in my top 15, but I had The Moody Blues, Bad Religion, and Dokken got in the way. And A7X are easily in my top 25.
I'm like
1. Linkin Park
2. Paramore
3. MCR
4. Sum 41
As much as Chuck literally changed the trajectory of my taste in music, i absolutely loved screaming bloody murder, even more now that I'm older. I consider it their Folie à Deux in many ways
When you mentioned that Sum 41 are innovative and influential because of the fusion of pop punk and metal with a little bit of rap, I felt that I agree but immediately thought of Zebrahead which is straight up a band that fuses even more genres, they have a singing lead vocalist and a rapper (pop punk, rapcore, heavy and thrash metal, ska punk), and they never got the attention they deserved and I'm not even sure If you know Zebrahead, because I never heard you mention them ever before. I hope that this comment will resonate with other people here too. I think you should do a video of the strange history of Zebrahead
Me and one of my best friends are the only people I know that know and enjoy Zebrahead A LOT. I do think they are one the most underrated bands ever. Damn, their songs always have good and catchy choruses in a consistency I've never seen with any other band in the genre. And they're also very productive as well. They may sound a little repetitive after a while, but I still love everything they released.
Btw, Sum 41 is my fav band ever and I'm glad Finn finally did a video about them.
Yes please!!! Zebrahead were awesome!
I was just going to make a comment about them until i saw this. I love Zebrahead! Waste of Mind and MFZB are amazing albums, also showing two different sides to them with the first being more funky and hip-hoppy party music and the latter more serious and emotional stuff. Great songwriting and musicianship on both. Plus catchy as all hell.
strange history of zebrahead is such a good idea
I was practicing "Someday" on guitar just last night. Zebrahead are kind of one of pop-punk's best kept secrets. I didn't really keep up after Justin left, but those first three albums are fantastic.
Thanks for making a SUM 41 video, they really deserve more credit than they get. But also, thanks to you for making this videos about specific artists like The Offspring, Good Charlotte and now this. I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina and a little bit younger than this bands normal audience, so getting all this context and cool stories from all these bands and the perspective from someone who knows and clearly lived through this era in the US is really cool. Keep'em coming!
These guys are the reason im into metal today.
seeing these types of videos always catch me off guard since i’m so used to cone being my uncle that i forget how amazing his music is
I found Sum 41 through the first Spider-Man movie where they had a music video in the bonus stuff, they were actually the first music artist I ever found I liked. Later I got the Chuck album and played that thing to death. I haven't really kept up with them recently but I always enjoy going back every once in a while.
i’m a massive fan of both sides of sum 41’s genres and the way they switch and mix them is honestly fantastic. they simply slap
When I was a teenager I went on a houseboat trip with my parents for two weeks and forgot to bring my CD wallet with me, so the only album I had to listen to the entire time was All Killer No Filler. I never got sick of it and still think that album is fucking great. I still play Hell Song and Over My Head on my guitar on a regular basis because they are the perfect blend of oldschool metal and modern pop punk and just so much fun to play.
sounds like something from my own childhood. Were your parents drunk most of the time too?
@@givemeahandle Only one of them
@@MWTravesty your mom, huh?
@@givemeahandle Nope Mom was the enabler
Will saso throwing the boys cigarettes will always make me laugh
This was one of the first bands that got me into rock/metal, and until this day Screaming Bloody Murder is one of my favourite albums. Really looking forward to their double album, but I'm also a little concerned about them doing another pop punk record.
Also saw them live 3 times, they are still pretty amazing.
With Brownsound in the band, I personally think the pop punk part of the double album will be leagues better than Underclass Hero, which is personally my least favorite Sum 41 record.
I grew up in the same town that these guys are from and my parents actually still live there (Ajax,Ontario,Canada). I remember when “All Killer No Filler” came out, being in 8th grade and the album being sold out at every store in the area. The stores couldn’t keep them in stock. A lot of people hated on them but they definitely inspired a lot of kids in the area to start bands and at one time we had a really great music scene here and quite a few small local venues that had all ages shows every weekend and had a lot of great local bands. I’ve always been a big supporter of these guys and am happy that they’re still going strong after all these years.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Sum 41 is working on a double album called “heaven and hell” which one half is pop punk and the other is metal. It seams like the perfect end to your video and the thesis throughout it.
Although he didn't mention it outright, at 17:23 he showed part of a Louder article that was discussing it. Maybe he ran out of time on the vid and cut it out
One of the things I appreciated about Sum 41 growing up was that they always left room for metal in their sound.
I was a pre-teen at the time, and once I heard Fat Lip on Much Music I was hooked. Definitely a stepping stone into heavier music, nu-metal came to me soon after, and now I listen to 'extreme' metal. Was always a bigger fan of their heavier songs, like Still Waiting. Lost interest when Dave left and the albums after Chuck sucked imo. Does This Look Infected? is my favourite.
Random fun fact that’s sooooo random: for some reason Eminem was actually in the crowd of the fat lip music video
Returning here a year later to say RIP SUM 41
So greatful for all the great music they created and I hope they enjoy their free time and success beyond the band
They had a great run. To be honest, I had no idea how talented they were until maybe 4-5 years ago or something like that when I heard their Master of Puppets cover and was blown away at how good it sounded. The drumming and bass were amazing, especially during James' solo Cone played the bassline differently (someone described it as ascending rather than descending) and I was just like "Holy shit this sounds so much better this way" and that's when I discovered Chuck and this was either not long before or not long after Order in Decline came out which I think is also an incredible album. I'd really like to catch them on this final tour with The Offspring.
Commenting after the retirement announcement:
I love your assessment of their albums and have no notes in that regard.
I wish them well and hope to scream bloody murder at the show with them on their final tour. If I don't see you again, may the pit be merciful and abundant.
It would be really nice to see a Video about how music videos changed Pop Punk. Bands like Sum 41, Blink 182, Good Charlotte really blew up because of them. And after thst with youtube it was really a drive to keep them alive through the 2010s
i've always been into punk and pop punk but i'll never forget when i heard Chuck i immediately thought "man this is something different"
I only discovered them during my university days 6 years ago but they quickly become my favorite band ever. I still can't find any vocalists that have the same feel as Deryck to this day
P.S I agree that Chuck (which is my number 1) and OID are the best albums they have ever released. Not a knock on DTLI?, AKNF, and the other albums though. I still listen to them regularly, especially UH. It's nice that Sum 41 have pretty much any sounds for everyone
They’re such a good live band they sand exactly like their recordings it’s actually so Fucking impressive
Screaming Bloody Murder never seems to get the love that it deserves. Deryck's lyrics are so thoughtful and heartfelt on that album, plus that's where his voice really comes into his own imo. But the thing that really stands out to be about that album is the way that quite a few of the songs stray from the traditional verse/chorus structure, going for something a little more experimental. Not to say that it's proggy, but it struck me as pretty profound for a band associated with pock punk. Outside of some of Green Day's songs during their rock opera phase, I hadn't really heard another band of the same genre do something like that.
I guess what I'm trying to say is listen to SBM for fuck's sake, that album means the world to me and got me through one of the shittest times in my life.
I love the trinity of holy image of lies, sick of everyone, and happiness machine…amazing blend of three songs!
It reminded me a little bit of MCR’s stuff
People can say what they want, but Underclass Hero was by far my favorite Sum 41 album. I’ve been a fan since chuck, but UH is the one that speaks to me the most.
Sum 41 are probably one of my favourite bands of all time. I love everything they’ve done so far!
My first show ever was Sum41 when they were still touring for all killer No filler. I owe this band so much. They were the reason that got me in to "real" punk, metal, and hardcore. I first saw them with the Canadian hardcore band No Warning opening for them. Being an addict and alcoholic myself I look up to Deryk alot. He overcame his demons and came back stronger than ever!
No Warning rips
Seeing this 2 years later it’s interesting to see the released a top ten song and became the band with the longest span between songs that hit #1 on the alt chart. 21 years between fat lip and landmines.
This was a great breakdown of an amazing band. Thanks for putting in the work, man. As a slightly younger fan, I really enjoyed seeing a time lapse of Sum 41's career
I've always loved the obvious Iron Maiden influence, especially in the guitar sound. Maiden made their success injecting original punk attitude into their early metal influences and Sum 41 made their success injecting Maiden into their punk origins. The circle of life, or something eh?
when I think of sum 41 and all killer it is literally like the true end of my childhood - that summer of 01 was skateboarding, watching x games, playing video games, listening to sum 41 and other pop punk bands, and then 9/11 happened lol it has a special place in my heart
Sum 41 was my first rock show at 15/16 years old. It was definitely my introduction into metal as the concert was in a hotel conference room and the whole crowd was one giant mosh pit. Such a fun show and a great band.
I have Sum 41 as the 3rd best pop punk band of all time behind Green Day and Blink -182. They were a real talented band.
Nah, it goes fall out boy, sum 41, I actually can't pick a 3rd. MCR, I guess
Been listening to them since I was 10. I'm 30 now, and saw them last Friday in Portland, OR. Caught covid at the show, but it was worth it!
The fact that Sum 41 can play Master of Puppets in entirety without missing a beat gives them mad respect points from me.
Was looking for this comment. Surprised it wasn't given a mention.
Sum 41 is one of the only bands from that time period that I still keep up with. "Order In Decline" was their best album in a long time and I can't wait for what they'll do next. They've never been straight pop-punk, and they always seem to come up with a plethora of pleasant surprises. Also, Dave is THE MAN!
I remember when that first album came out, seeing the video on MTV and thinking, "I gotta pick this album up." Which was supremely weird, as I was (and still am) deeply into Metal and never cared for Pop-Punk. Sum 41 is the only Pop-Punk band I ever actually liked, but again, weirdly, they kind of lost me with Chuck and I'm not sure why.
I remember buying Chuck and just being unimpressed with it and thinking it was completely forgettable, but that could be due to my Metal brain. When something is close but NOT QUITE Metal, my brain tells me, "Well, we should just listen to some actual Metal and not waste our time with this." After that, I fell off the bandwagon completely with Sum 41, in spite of really loving the first two albums.
Maybe it's time for me to revisit it all, now that it's 20-years later and I'm an old man.
Do it. You won't regret it. I do think ALL of their albums hold up until today, even the more polarizing ones (these ones have aged very well and sound like they were released ahead of their time). Does This Look Infected and Chuck are my favorites though. Also, Godamn I'm Dead Again from 13 Voices is a must!
I am in the same exact situation.
For me chuck was way too derivative of metallica to be taken seriousely.
Very thankful i had a chance to see them live
13 voices is NOT their weakest album by any means. 13 and Chuck are their best albums by a long shot.
Fuck yes brother 🙌
This is so interesting to watch now that their final album was released. Thanks for the vid!
Great video. Was introduced to Sum 41 with Underclass Hero and it was on repeat for about 5 years. Personally my favorite and most nostalgic album. Bloody murder was a great album since I had been previously listening to metal and hardcore music. It was cool hearing a band I considered to be pop punk play some harder and progressive melodic stuff.
Great video! Thanks for the blast into the past. I was a Sum fan since Grab the devil by the horns. Those guys were a huge part of my growth from Punk/pop-punk into metal and you really hit the analysis of this band on the head. I must've watched the DVDs from Does this Look Infected a hundred times. Now I've got to go dig out my Chuck CD...
"Does This Look Infected" is the perfect pop-punk/metal album. I rarely can listen to an entire album but I can legit enjoy every song on this. And "Mr. Amsterdam" for me is as good as any metal/punk/hard rock song from the late 90s to today. "Chuck" is a little inconsistent but still has some great songs.
booo...chuck is very consistent!
They essentially turned the camera around and showed 100% them and 100% of their audience. It was brilliant.
Tom didn't really have a part in the band until 13 voices. Until 2016, he was just a touring member.
Cant wait for heaven x hell
Yessss finally someone
