I know, I know. Whatever.

I used to be a Sum 41 fan so I thought I should check this one out. It was a decent Canadian version of arena rock. Lots of kids, and some embarassing parents. The drummer from Sum 41 is very good, and the band is very profesional and entertaining. The lead singer for Finger 11 has an amazing voice with lots of range.

The highlight for me was very unexpected. When Finger 11 played the following song, all the kids in the crowd lit lighters and flashed cell phones. It was kind of emotional.

One "mom and dad" got their drink on, and at one point in the Finger 11 set the dad stands up, flashes a double fisted Viking horn salute, and started screaming "MOTHERFUCKER, MOTHERFUCKER". The wife was pretty impressed with her man's show of bravado so when he sat down she started making out with him, full on tongue action, then she stadled him in his seat and they made out like born again 15 year olds.

Their poor kid, he was about 11, or 12. After mom finished with dad, she turned her attention to son and tried snuggling him, and kiss him on the forehead.


Poor kid was trying to hide his face under his baseball cap, and finally got up and moved to another seat. Very entertaining. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 3:10am Edited: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 3:30am

Sum 41..

It's embarassing but I used to listen to them back in the day. I remember my friends and I started a band and we were all set on playing songs just like Sum 41... We just had 2 guitarists, a bassist and no drums so it didn't work out.. thankfully!

But yeah we made a pact to go see them, even if we didn't like them (even though that was ridiculous at the time since we swore we'd like them forever).

And uhh, I didn't see them.... I just didn't want to fork over the money to see a band I don't like, and a band I despise...

Haha, pop punk.. - Fri, 19 Oct 2007 10:53am

I never did understand how people can be into a band and then hate them later on. I suppose that's a sign that the band sucks and is trendy.
I can't recall any music I used to be into. Once a fan, always a fan. - Sat, 20 Oct 2007 11:25pm
