MUSIC TEACHER REACTS | 2001 | Sum 41 "Fat Lip" | CLEANING OUT THE SHED EP 25

[@MikeOnDrums]

They're called Sum 41 because they formed the band 41 days into Summer, and all the band members are on record hating the name, lol.

[@AnonymousSaiyan]

true!

[@KyleJon]

@@AnonymousSaiyan They were called “The Sums” at least for one hilarious video!

[@MichaelWilson-dy3yw]

Love it. For more humor you need to watch their “still waiting” video

[@bradley_bear96]

“The hives, the I can’t see you” *punches lamp across room* honestly the intro to that video gets me every time lol

[@BrandonChicagoTM]

Also check out "Hell Song" Incredibly serious/heart breaking song with a surprisingly hilarious video

[@YearZer0777]

Will Sasso made it really awesome:)

[@fabianarchilagalvis7001]

That's one of my favorites songs of all time

[@Codester1222]

As they matured Deryck, the lead singer, actually started adding keys to a ton of their songs. They are one of my favorite bands. If you want a song like that, and that's more mature, check out "Never There". It's off their latest album. It's a beautiful song.

[@mihalypeti]

this. he needs to watch more from Sum41

[@beckstar78]

i was just gonna say do never there and saw your comment...still waiting is a good oldie too haha. weird calling sum41 songs oldies

[@BrandonWestfall]

His acoustic covers on their channel are some of my favorite versions of their music.

[@benguin_]

“They’re just regular guys that became super famous”. You have no idea how true it is 😅 they’ve always said they’re just dudes that started a band, that aren’t even that good at playing their instruments.

[@jinfin221]

Were* now they good.

[@EvilSouxie]

You need to listen to whole chuck album and get back at your comment

[@riccardocampana1489]

Fun fact The people you see in the video are just their fans. Sum41 announced that they would be doing a free show at a skatepark and lots of fans showed up and brough all sorts of weird things. I don't think the fans knew they were gonna turn it into the video for this song so everyone is acting pretty naturally, though everyone was obviously drunk as hell lmao

[@luffyiscool]

The most effective part of the video for me is the drunk girl having a meltdown in the alley with her friend while telling the cameraman to leave them alone. While I feel sorry for whatever the girl was going through, I love that it shows that the whole video was organic, if that makes sense. It was all a real experience, no rehearsals. Just a straight up outdoor party that was also captured on video.

[@lowwatthalo1654]

@@luffyiscool I don't think those were tears streaming while her pants are down to her knees behind a dumpster. I think her friend was spotting for her & the camera just rolled.

[@AnonymousSaiyan]

live performances have a history of making good music videos!

[@rossmacintosh5652]

The story I heard was they didn't announce the performance at all. They set up in that grungy place and just started playing the song repeatedly. Over many hours they just played it over and over with the crowd growing organically. The vast majority of those people probably had no idea who Sum41 even were and that the song was played over & over without explanation must have seemed funny. From the hours of recorded footage the video was edited. Although Sum41 are Canadians the video was recorded in California.

[@NX2Official]

I genuinely believe that not only do you do the bands you react to a huge favour but you do the whole music industry a favour. You educate and bring a new meaning to music. It’s people like you that keep music alive when so many just hear “sounds”. Thank you for your contribution. Your videos make my day 🙌🏼

[@MusicShed]

That comment makes my day

[@another_form]

Anyone else just expect the Pain For Pleasure music video to kick in immediately after this one? 😂

[@evematice6104]

There's a video where Sum 42 was doing a concert, it was after Chester Bennington had passed, Mike Shinoda joined them on stage and they did Faint. He actually did really well. I loved seeing Mike there with them.

[@Square1286Kev]

Yes they're still active. Released a great album last year.

[@krisbayley9422]

Sum 41 had a few songs on the American Pie movies and in some of the soundtracks, there were others from that time like "American Hi Fi, Good Charlote Blink 182 and i think Green Day. they have that same theme, but i grew up with these guys during the 90's. Such good times.

[@xVibur]

You should listen to the amity affliction “Pittsburgh” so much emotion in the vocals you can really feel it.

[@Duck_Boi556]

nah he should check out "chasing ghosts" by them

[@Commandercolt44]

YES

[@orriejack3987]

😂😂

[@growliappears]

David: "I'm feeling a little depressed right now [...] so I wanted an uplifting one." nobody: absolutely nobody: King Vibe: You should listen to Amity Affliction! Still... I strongly agree. I adore Amity Affliction, even though there are songs of bands I like better, Amity Affliction keep their place is my hear as my favorite. I love heavy music but sometimes I want clear vocals, and they give me all of that and feed my longing soul with clear vocals right after screaming in my face. Also I love the blunt, yet poetic descriptions of mental illness. We all know depression exists, yet rarely the exact words like depression or anxiety are mentioned in songs - since it's still kind of "taboo" to actually mention it. Most songwriters put those words into metaphors. Amity gives us the name AS WELL AS metaphors to feel those concepts and I appreciate that a lot, since it calls the demon by its name while also describing it for sufferers to relate to and for bystanders to give them a grasp of it. I remember the first time I heard "Drag the Lake" when they sing "All the panic, depression the hurt and neglect. Lying to myself I don't think of death." my first reaction was feeling a cringey vibe but I thought about it (as you can see) and came to the conclusion that it felt cringey because it's taboo to name the child by its name, so now I'm glad someone is brave enough to risk coming of as cringey to be able to provide comfort and education.

[@emily_ferre]

I love your videos! It's so fascinating to hear your takes on these songs that I love so much. I saw Sum 41 back in 2016 and Fat Lip really is a join in song, the whole crowd was singing and rapping with the band. Keep up these videos, they always put a smile on my face!

[@Camburg44]

These guys are very much still active, but they’re a decent bit heavier sounding these days. If you wanna see more about their name you should check out the music video for Still Waiting lol

[@Blahblah9905]

I would love a “5 by…” of this band. They’re albums are so diverse and most people only know them from songs from the album this song is on. Cmon Howie! Put your boy on the greatness of DTLI, Chuck, and SBM!

[@gumru1]

The video represents 2000's really good, Sum 41 is awesome

[@dmneeds]

This is the musical equivalent of a popcorn flick. You don’t want to dig deep for every last bit of meaning. You just want to enjoy yourself. This is just fun to listen to.

[@MusicShed]

Yes

[@Yourfinaltragedy]

This song has one of my all time favorite guitar riffs. It just makes me want to bounce around with a bunch of people in a moshpit. Lol. 🤘🎸

[@ElicitOutlaw]

LOVED This intro! You seem like such a fun person to be around. As always loving the new cleaning out the shed episodes here lately.

[@redzin226]

I doubt any of you will read this but If I remember right the name is when the band was made. They started the band in the summer and only had 41 days before school started again. Yes, they are still making music, I know Deryck was in rehab and is doing well now, they also brought back Dave and had a new drummer join. I’ve seen them live a few times and their sound is massive. Would love to see you clean out the shed with AFI

[@mihalypeti]

Fun fact: these guys are tight with Linkin Park and did an amazing live cover of Faint with Mike Shinoda

[@ormondmerino]

we have a great, innovative musical director at our high school for the band but we could really use someone like you. Kudos

[@octo448]

Sum 41 and Linkin Park were my first "Favorite Bands" as a kid.

[@nedimarnautovic5462]

Sum 41 is still going strong and probably better than ever. They are now more of a alt metal/hard rock band but still great

[@monikalopezzz]

They are still active! They are AMAZING live. They were my very FIRST rock show back when I was 16! I’m 33 now. Haha.

[@bobbydrex5268]

Man you gotta watch some live versions of this when they play so many years later and the crowds are going insane. Check out their most recent Rock Am Ring show!

[@IH8YH]

damn it you know an song was awesome when you havent heard it in 15 years probably, thinking "uh fat lip... which one was that exactly"... but when the first vocals start you are immediatly back and know every word :D

[@skateparkexplorer1429]

Wow..this brought me back. They influenced my childhood so much. Adidas and Sum 41 sweat bands from hot topic were the daily attire. Hahahaha thanks for this video!

[@kcturtle4168]

New sub here. Great video quality. I appreciate someone of your music acumen having such nice things to say about Sum 41. They are named because they formed on the 41st day of summer when they were in high school. Your takes on them are spot on, they are just 4 guys and they can actually rock. I have been pounding the table for nearly a quarter century that Sum 41 is head and shoulders above their contemporaries. They did an MTV music awards show with Tommy Lee and Rob Halford when they were still teenagers. Plucked out of Ajax, CN after being noticed as the top high school band in the greater area. If you haven't already, I would love to see you do a video on Still Waiting. It was the last song on that record and was written in response to 9/11. Additionally, they matured and continued to diversify adding keyboards and exploring many sub-genres of rock. I've seen them live three times and even once got pulled up on stage. They are a fantastic live show. Live music is hard for me because of the crowd density and overall decibel levels. Sum 41 has always rocked and just this month announced that they are calling it a career. An amazing journey that included Deryck having a brush with death and a long ICU room stay.

[@akitooujisama]

YESSS To answer a couple questions: 1. Yes, they are still touring and recording new stuff. Newest album was in 2019. Although since Fat Lip their lead guitarist has departed, come back, they added a second guitarist, and the original drummer left. 2. The name I believe comes from the fact that they formed their band on the 41st day of summer, so naturally....

[@benguin_]

Dude. Have you been stalking me? You’re playing my childhood!

[@MusicShed]

Yes

[@lolilolmdrxd]

one of the first underground band ive heard, it was in 2002... i was teenage from France ^^

[@marinojakimoski1763]

Now that Eurovision 2021 has concluded, might I suggest a reaction video of the winning song? Or better yet, do a "5 by Eurovision 2021" where you do the top 5 songs. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@lornemalvo4492]

Usually it would be annoying when someone plays the piano along but for some reason I saw how much fun you were having and didn't mind! Great reaction

[@SqueakGod]

i really think IWABO (iwrestledabearonce) would be great for a 5 by because every album is slightly different with the biggest change coming on the last 2 albums where Courtney LaPlante (I think you guys are a little familiar with lol) takes place for Krysta Cameron as lead singer when she becomes pregnant and could no longer tour..the songs I would recommend starting oldest to newest would be... Krysta Cameron's albums songs A1 - Cats Pajamas -You Ain't No Family -Danger In The Manger A2 -You know That Ain't Them Dogs Real -Voices -I'm Gonna Shoot -Button It Up Courtney LaPlante takes lead songs A1 -Gift Of Death -Green Eyes A2 -Boat Paddle -Firebees -Thunder Chunky

[@larshagen9944]

Music will always "kickstart your emotions " "go motley crew" flow, if you can relate to the song you will always feel it within your heart and relate

[@suburban_guy]

Love this reaction!

[@Veintore]

Sum41 is still going strong by the way, but with a COMPLETELY new sound Check out their new stuff 'With me' is incredible and beautiful 'The New Sensation' is quite a Muse-y sound

[@robcryptx]

i loved this! 2000-2001 is when i started properly getting into punk rock in it's various forms and sum 41 were a huge jumping off point for me. deryck was recently on the podcast "chris demakes a podcast" (presented by chris demakes from a band called less than jake, who i'd also love to see you check out) where a singer from the older punk rock days talk about their classic songs. deryck talks for around an hour about fat lip, how it was written and produced and the impact it had on their career. it's a really great listen if anyone's ever interested in checking it out :)

[@Jdub54]

Ok that jump into was perfect. If I only knew where to find a keyboard with a sound like that. I don’t have the money or the time to find an oberheim. 😂

[@beckstar78]

nice halen at the beginning...really enjoyed your reaction!

[@thisishaggard]

Me as a 90's kid thinking everyone knows this song.

[@danielmorgan104dm]

Sum 41 have only improved with age. Really back to their A game with their recent releases and live performances after Derycks rough patch a few years ago. Walking Disaster, With Me and Pieces i highly recommend to see their more serious side

[@ic3p1ck_]

Man this brought me back! I remember being a kid in I think 2nd grade with the Now 8 cd and both this song and Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz I listened to nonstop. Great nostalgia moment!

[@SBguitarcovers]

Love the reactions! Could we possibly get some Breaking Benjamin on the channel?

[@chrisschuler2278]

One of my favorite bands from when I was in like 5th-6th grade in the states and still a favorite just bought an el camino 😂

[@oleghardy4622]

oh song from school days! Cool and Thank you, mister! Best wishes from Ukraine!

[@jeffwestjr.4160]

You should absolutely check out Something Corporate. They're another pop-punk band from the same era but the frontman plays piano.

[@MrJosh1000000000]

You should check out Way Away by Yellowcard. Another band that helped bring pop punk into the mainstream in the 2000s

[@greendayforever2k9]

Yeah still active. Hopefully headlining Slam Dunk festival in the UK in September, carried forward from May 2020. Crash is a great song that is piano based :)

[@justinwilder3514]

That drummer was wild! Imo, had he not left and kept going like this he’d be what Travis barker is.. I think he was just as good and tight, he just drank too much and had to take care of his health and couldn’t on the road lol as far as pop punk goes he was my favorite, this band was my favorite pop punk band too lol

[@bobbydrex5268]

Also, I saw these guys live in December, 2019 right before the world shut down and this was the last song they played, and introduced it as the Canadian National Anthem lol

[@chrisbollinger6617]

They are still around. Personally, I think their Screaming Bloody Murder record is one of the best from the past decade.

If you haven’t checked out ‘all to blame’ by sum 41 you definitely should at some point. Very good

[@Brunners90]

You should really go down the Sum 41 rollercoaster, they've been all over the place musically. Yes they are still active, they released an album like a year ago. The lineup changed slightly, Brownsound left for a bit and came back, and Steve no longer drums for them. Also check out Deryck's personal story. Dude nearly died a few years back. Also, check out the top Eurovision songs this year!

I can’t believe the song that kinda stumped David’s piano fingers was a Sum 41 song haha

[@KillTheCrownSTW]

Theres some bangers on chuck and underclass hero you should defintely do The Hell Song, So Long Goodbye, and one of their newer songs Never There, oh and and older song called Pieces

[@xephrenata]

Damn. I miss those days ❤️

[@tonyfiorilli2270]

I would say Dave's Possessed Hair/It's What We're All About Is more of a Homage to Beastie Boys than this lol. They even reference Maiden and Priest. Metal was a big influence to these guys and a lot of other late 90's early 2000's "pop punk" bands. Weezer, Wheatus mentions them by name as well just to name a few.

[@IH8YH]

hahaaa i make myself laugh about the stupidest shit ever too, some stuff no one in my family gets but they get me... so its all cool. i like weird stuff and have a very weird (and dark and dirty) sense of humour. that intro was EPIC by the way... cant go wrong with a perfect rendition of Van Halens JUMP....

They're about to finish up a six part series on the Beasties and they also have a deep dive into a lot of the bands in the early punk scene in their first season. Really well researched and fun. As always, love the content David. I enjoy seeing you react to things I grew up on and you're also a great introduction to other stuff I haven't gotten into before.

[@MusicShed]

[@martywood482]

Still Waiting, and The Hell Song are other great songs from this era of the band - Pieces is a good song to check out for a more slow vibe - If you wanna check out a newer song, Fake My Own Death is great... I'll also toss is Walking Disaster as a recommendation because it's my personal favourite!
