I was granted back stage access at one of their shows in 4th grade because they were trying to get with my mom. Thanks mom.

[@byronbowler]

Not gonna lie, I would also fanboy to Sum 41, all killer no filler was an album that brings back amazing memories, they didn't just release music... they gave adolescence a soundtrack

[@synhet84]

Fuck yeah ! amazing album!

[@NGmartini]

Byron Bowler so true

[@DendyJungle]

Byron Bowler maybe you should lie

[@jimjambananaslam3596]

I listened to Slipknot when I was eleven, then Sum 41 became my favourite band when I was around twelve, and I moved on to "real" punk bands from there. Whenever someone talks shit about Sum 41, I think "Meh, better than Slipknot." lmao.

[@airporteffect]

It was a cultural movement :)

[@lukegray9254]

The interviewer is awesome, very good at keeping both dave and cone comfortable and asking great questions

Tobias E so true, me too, after watching their live videos “Live in London” i decided to learn guitar. Thank you sum 41.

Anyone else catch the feels when he started telling them how much of an impact they made on his life? :’)

[@ssrogerzz]

Sum 41 all grew up in the town I live in called Ajax, my mother actually went to school with them and her and Dave Baksh were friends and he would drive her home from school. So I am a pretty big fan.

[@RareBrink]

that speech at the end resonated so much with me. I basically wasn't interested in music until I heard AKNF when I was 11. While I did not end up a career musician, I do still make and perform music regularly on the side for fun and a little bit of money. Thank you Sum 41.

I love those guys! Been to multiple Sum 41 concerts and am truly amazed how chill & friendly Dave is :) This interview is so fun to watch! I would love if the interviewer wouldn't be sitting with a huge DIN A4 paper in his lap though. It seems kind of unprofessional. Moderation cards would be a great addition in my opinion.

Probably when the 13 Voices cycle clears and they're up for it, it would be cool to see the "Screaming Bloody Murder" vid.

[@bobpoulin8044]

Man memories flooding back on this. I was driving a beat dick car that was overheating so I had to keep the heat on to keep it cool. Stop and go traffic on the way in with my foot getting cooked on the break pedal. Stopped in Holyoke and my friend Adam got offered crack. We bought oil for the broke dick car and "Rap Snacks' potato chips instead. Saw 7 seconds for the first time and had my mind blown. Bouncing souls were drunk, I forgive them now, kate is still great. Bad Religion still rocks and NOFX is still going hard. I think it must have been more like 2000 than 98.
