Sum 41 - Astronaut - First song

[@YautjaWarrior3]

Stevo in 1998: "suit and tie is not for me" Stevo in 2021: realtor

[@cindyl.7233]

this can be on a kids show its so cute

[@jamesfarmer6878]

It's cool how the farther back you listen to sum 41, the more they sound like NOFX

[@knightlyfilms9725]

NOFX inspired Deryck to form Sum 41

[@shr3dl0rd17]

I think they used to be a NOFX cover band

[@Space-Holiday]

So glad someone else has said this. This song sounds so much like NOFX.

[@SwedishSeacon]

I like how Steve sounds the same in this song. His voice has barely changed ever since this song was released

[@Gamefreak924]

During shows, Deryck would lead into Grab the Devil by saying "this is our very first song", but the fans who know this know better.

[@FifthDegreeTV]

"Suit and tie is not for me!" Crack up every time I hear that. :3

[@trevisz182]

That bass!!!!

[@moondaddy37]

wow full version, super rare

[@CatDaddy10]

Saw them play twice at the Halifax Pop Explosion in 1998. Me and a friend both bought this demo tape for $5 and had them sign them. Chatted with them about their long van trip down from Ontario for about 30 minutes and we even invited them to crash for the last 2 days of the festival at my friends place since they were sleeping in their van. They were so nice, thanked us for the offer but declined. Great group of guys.

[@zadajtenazov1312]

It's Sum 41, I hear Deryck's voice

[@DrumDevil95]

Yes, it's in the title...

[@arth4937]

It's not deryck's voice

[@sum41russian63]

@@arth4937 it is!

[@dv91pr]

yeah! Deryck¿s voice reminds me Tom's voice at the early days!! However, Deryck's sounds more tuned than Tom's xD ghaha

[@maerad13]

oh my god, deryck sounds sooo young!

[@DarthJimius]

true punk rock right there and awesome bass skills

[@Rubo41]

they finally come true their dream...more or less.-.....they are stars!

[@tracy1210]

That's such a great song with a great melody!!

[@OzeanBzh]

Oh my god !! It's (I never thought that I wil say that about sum 41) cute !

[@sumnegyvenegy]

cool, like this song.. and sum41 is the best, i think the best band i ever heard. !4ever sums! :))

[@Creative_dude798]

Born of sum 41...

[@montov7831]

Tom sounds great in this song

[@vinilopez4566]

lol, its funny cause this song represents so well tom delonge in 2017, with his UFO obsessions and his "to the stars" thing were he is trying to build a spaceship

[@asuka4141]

He's got an amazing voice on it!!! We feel him so little hahahah so good!!! ^^

[@Dat0shka]

lol the voices are soo funny, sound like lil' kids

[@DracoX9]

They sound like they're only like 12-14 in this...maybe that's why they're not officially releasing it? xP It's an okay song overall, but since it was the start of the greatest band in the world, it gets 5 stars. =D

[@MultiPaddle]

this is a badass band

[@haro657]

actually their first songs were Astronaut, I Love Meat, and 5-0 Grind some guy who bought it posted on theresnosolution to download

[@BeingOfLight1111]

listen to it really really loud!

[@trvllv813]

OMG I LOVE THIS HAHAHAH

[@Beni41]

they should make a new version of this song it would be great

[@drummrA]

very nice and catchy song! simple but funny and appreciable!:)

[@inela95]

Omg this song is epic.

[@Turock91]

This song was recorded in the demo "Rock Out with You Cock Out" , in 1998, before "Half Hour of Power". They're was around 17-18 when the demo was finished. Wikipedia.

[@alejandrorodrigiuez123]

Love this

[@maxiimov]

Sum 41 first song kickass just fucking great rock out song... I would give a lot to have a chance to watch them when they played this stuff... hope they come to Argentina..

[@fatsoapboy]

haha they sound so young, i like this song

[@echuu2740]

Yeah i wasn't saying that THEY started in 1994. I was saying that their genre of music was made popular in 1994, so it was easier for them to do what they did.

[@TheDoorsRule]

Their first demo TAPE! so old school not even on cd

[@MatrimCuathon]

i agree. people always compare them to blink182 but this is their first song and i think its in the top 5 blinkiest songs. they have their own shit.

[@SGAFirefly]

this is actually really funny! :P

[@UnderclasSum41]

What a nostalgia

[@nervousblogger]

This is so cute ♥ :D

[@Oaklley]

Sounds like early '41 days really, like Half hour of power and so on :). I hope the new album will be a mix of old Sum 41 with some emo shit like Chuck :)

[@profsizzle13]

love this song ..

[@Saam41]

awsome song! 5/5

[@LiamCrowley1990]

1998 and its awesome woooooo

[@yellowgreenblink182]

This sounds just like nofx

[@echuu2740]

The road for their success was all started in 1994. That was the year pop-punk music became mainstream. This was because in 1994 two albums came out, "Dookie" by Green Day and "Smash" by The Offspring. These were very high selling albums and pop-punk bands soon reached high popularity. Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, there were a lot of bands that became popular. In 1999 blink-182 came out with Enema Of The State (it sold like SHIT). So yeah it had been in the works for a while.

[@mbz25]

who is here from Stevo's channel

[@LieblingAllerLaDys]

Baby- Sum 41

[@chubber221]

I think he want's to be a horse jockey

[@azzan360]

[@hipoleft]

[@megaultras]

astronaut wanna be an astronaut. an astronaut wanna be anastrout

[@Jaydesepicvideos]

Deryck sounds like tom

[@ASRforeverASR]

Ellena Smith yes , a bit... both started playing the same style of music more or less

[@oknice65wow20]

Yea a bit but he sounds a lot better then Tom derycks voice isn't so high pitched

[@rainbowglue2]

omg this used to be on their angelfire web page! haha wow

[@tnizzle53]

Fuck yeah is this Curtis41? The biggest sum 41 fan ever?

[@bgeyssens]

I feel like a little boy every time I listen to this =D

[@Michael_Mirage]

Humble beginnings.

[@spasticator]

!!!!!SUM 41 RULEZ!!!!!

[@DarthJimius]

AWESOME

[@clomino3]

I never say this usually, but this song sounds exactly like old blink.

[@Fruser1993]

Well they were originally a Nofx cover band, idk that's probably why.

[@SpaceNipples420]

well looks like from theyr first song they will be the best

[@1VillaX1]

genial :)

[@nanno974]

i know how a gonna be when i grow up i want to be an astronaut

[@09Anything09]

the second song by sum 41 the first one is "I LIKE MEAT" but no ones can find

[@strawberryFUSION]

wow! haha, that was my dream too :) to be an astronaunt!!

[@jsh020]

@Socalsum41fan underclass hero si their best album by far caus eit actualy had menaing behind it. and HAVE YOU HEARD BLOODY MURDER. its dark, different, and plain and simple awsome

[@Luddoofficial]

haha, they sound so young. It's totally difirent from the ''Screaming bloody murder'' album...

[@shuuushii]

ahaha this song is so random!! SUM 41 FTW!!

[@DeliaFolkYeah]

I can identidy myself to the lyrics because I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid.

[@Tu0Anh]

This sounds alot like Blink-182, Tom and Derycks voices are really similar. Glad Sum 41 didn't turn out like that!(:

[@jojack1234567890]

great i wanna be an astronaught

[@JapanWalkerJJ]

nice song

[@mcaddie7]

@Disciple9music true all i have is a few mics and my guitar which i plug into my affects pedal which goes into my computer and thats how i record and it sounds half decent

[@I_like_Bones]

ASTRONAUT ASTRO NAUT WHY IS THIS WORD SO WEIRD

[@DrSaul41]

Ow, might be :D, didn't knew that :p

[@ShirAgainstTheWorld]

lol thats a funny song XD sum 41

[@CDL96]

Yeah they should but I dont think they want... If not they would already do it. Good song for their first. Funny lyrics^^

[@Hiirntot91]

i think it was 1999 because at wikipedia you can read that deryck became a band member at 1999 at 1999 he was 19 years old

[@1xDrewx1]

@becamiha i know right? its weird that this song, & 3 other songs were on the 1998 Demo Tape to help get a studio contract, but when it comes to their 1st album, Half Hour of Power, they only put the 3 other songs & not this one. that sucks :( I just hope, if Sum 41 can, re-record it if they can, or add this songs to an album or both, or something, because sounds kick ass :D i can see how they got famous :P

[@echuu2740]

I got some rancid. I like NOFX a lot, they'd be my number 4 punk band i gotta say. I got some bfs, not much but some. Green Day is always good.

[@JonScottishSoul]

Deryck was founder with Steve... In 1996 So he woulda been around 16

[@meetmewherethestarscollide]

Awwwwwwwww Derek sounds so fucking cute. He says astronaut funny though lol

[@turdeemi]

great! :D so simple but great

[@Tu0Anh]

@ch1ldpr3d3t0r @madmad616 It's supposed to mean that, this song sounds a lot like Blink-182's music(which I also like), but i'm still glad that Sum 41 didn't turn out like Blink.182, because I appreciate Sum 41's music way more than Blink-182's(No offense, but I am commenting on a Sum 41 video). And I did mean Tom(DeLonge) and Deryck(Whibley), because Tom is the (one of the) lead singer of Blink-182.

[@henk7]

astronaut!!!!!

[@spasticator]

sum 41 kick ass!!!!!!!

[@echuu2740]

the pop-punk genre really has kinda come to a halt. Through like 1994-200X i dunno, it was big. But it's been replaced with... i wanna say more emo like music, but i'm not too sure what to call it. Alternative maybe. But yeah they started small as shit, and now they're relatively big. It's a hard thing to accomplish.

[@JapanWalkerJJ]

he's not an astronaut right now :D

[@avrilsun2]

firs i think it was blink 182 but know i think it was sum 41 :D funny :D hmm yea the text is funny al the songs from sum 41 are good :) i like sum 41 ever :-*

[@drinkmyjelly]

He didn't divorce her, she kicked him to the curb. >.>

[@ValkyreBomb]

this is how every kid felt at a young age!

[@colie577]

You're point is that Punk is being different, well that would be fine a just if Sum 41 was different than anyone else. I agree with you, I do not know what "Punk" is, and no one else does either, and I know that they don't call themselves punk, but some stupid fans actually believe they're punk. They sound the same as every other band out there today, whick makes them "Pop". At the MOST they'd be "Pop Punk", but hardly.

[@echuu2740]

I used an application called "audio hijack pro" to rip the audio from this video

[@64324037]

LOL well this is real PUNK ! :D love sum

[@Tu0Anh]

@ChinoZblexKlub7 Kaleidoscope is a great song, so is Up All Night and After Midnight. Screaming Bloody Murder is an excellent song too. In my opinion Sum had made more "serious" songs than Blink, such as Best of Me and Walking Disaster. Underclass Hero is one of my favorite songs. Great to share some opinions with you.

[@ericthefatkid]

haha, funny song, but very good

[@SonOfManMusic]

nice....

[@echuu2740]

hahaha. I tend to stick to these types of bands. Sum, blink, offspring. That's pretty much my stuff. Though i try to listen to everything.

[@SravanCh]

lol hahaha so cute chipmunks :D

[@Saroarr]

i've actually heard their new stuff on MTV a few times. But come on man, compare an old NOFX song like "stickin' in my eye" to any of the songs off their newest album. They're alot more mainstream sounding now.
