Sum 41's guitarist doesn't get enough love. His riffs are ridiculous.

I love you can see how much these guys play together. They're just jamming away, but when then they absolutely nail two synchronised guitar parts. I love how tight a good band gets.

Find it kind of funny how Sum 41 is starting to regain traction, where bands that were bigger than them like Green Day and Blink are sort of getting lost in the mix. I love both those bands, but I’m really happy Sum 41 is starting to get recognition again! New song kicks ass !

[@KolaTheBear]

I don't feel like Green day is getting lost. They released one of their best albums since American Idiot less than 3 years ago and now they are kind of relaxing after so much touring. I am sure they'll be back and stronger than ever soon...Blink however is a much different story.

[@Home-u6g]

Blink maybe but green day? Revolution Radio was such an amazing comback from uno dos tres

[@Sk8rocka]

rev radio was terribly overproduced and flat sounding, and they're so formulaic now (and i'm a huge green day fan). sum 41 lately seem to pick and choose the right balance of all their different phases to come up with what is possibly their most interesting sound to date, derricks vocals are better and the production on the new stuff is so clean in a good way.

[@hertzbergflimflamm357]

I had the greatest honor to speak with Tom face to face during Montebello Rockfest. My band was on a small pontoon boat (transportation between the hotel and the site). I didn't even realize who was on that boat maybe 8 people max). I was just standing up and one guy said "you can have my sit". I then realized it was "Cone" from Sum41 and I was sitting right beside Tom Thacker. I was so caught out of guard that the only thing I could say was "Hello Mr. Gob"! He was very kind and asked me questions about my band and we talked all the way to the site where the stages were. Tom is a very talented but also very humble guy!
