Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children - We're all to blame by Sum 41

Posted by Sephiroth316 on YouTube

This is a great action packed and well timed video. A pleasant departure from the usual romantic videos I post here.

5/5

Jerry Finn was a well-respected producer who lent his talents to a who's who of alternative rock, artists like Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, AFI, Rancid, the Offspring, Morrissey, Alkaline Trio and many others. While working on the latest from Morrissey and +44 in July of this year, Finn suffered a massive brain hemmorage. He was taken off life support on August 12, 2008. According to Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Finn passed away today.

Thanks to Number1Albums for the info.

We all played Pokemon.  Well all my friends did.  I mean, it was fifth grade; Yo-Yos had just been banned from school – even during recess! – apparently someone had used one as a weapon, but anyway I digress, basically: we needed a new fad, and it became Pokemon.

Everyone I new became addicted, completely consumed by the Pokemon culture: not just by the cards, but by the television show, the videogames, and some even by the cheap t-shirts and Ash Ketchum imitation hats.

Eventually the fad died.

Breaking News: every fad dies.  I was luckily enough to cash out early, selling my holographic Charizard for $80 a few weeks before we all found another fire to throw our allowance money into.  It might have been WWF action figures.

High school came next and fads became more fashion based and I stopped paying attention to most anything but girls that were out of my league and blink-182 records.

There was not a chance in hell of me getting any girls, so I spent time getting more records, expanding from blink-182 to other pop punk bands: New Found Glory, Sum 41 ect… eventually horrible shit like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan popped up and I moved to the “emo” explosion.  I became completely consumed watching television shows on FUSE, buying literal tons of band merch, sporting the tightest jeans ect…

(time passes)

Recently I had an epiphany.  An old friend from the days of Pokemon flew down from CT to go to Warped Tour here in FL.  We caught up on this and that and moved to discuss the massive pile of bands that are on Warped 2008 this summer.

Talk of bands with music nerds always almost moves to talk of “The Scene.”

“Hey you get the new Alesana album?” Trev might have said.

“Yeah, the screams are getting a little too high pitched, blah, blah, blah…” I might have said.

Anyway, my epiphany was: emo, screamo, whatever-core bands are my new Pokemon cards.

When my buddies and I played with Pokemon cards it started as a competition of collection.  Buy.  Buy.  Buy.

Eventually all our decks had become massive.  We had moved from starter packs, to the randomized collections wrapped in foil: hoping to find something rare and elusive.  By the time we all had collections big enough for 300 page plastic sleeved binders we realized we could trade with each other.

No more wasted time where we got yet another useless Pikachu card when what we really wanted was a holographic [insert bizarre stupid name here].

All of our collections were of equal quality, so letting a few generic doubles go for the opportunity to grab some new and powerful card was quite the rush.

One big problem eventually arose: we all wanted the same cards.  We were all striving for the same perfect line-up to man the front lines of our Pokemon armies.

The next problem was one that no of us expected: we all got what we wanted.  When this happened we all got bored and gave it up.

(time passes)

When I got into emo, it was all a competition of collecting the most obscure and unheard of bands.  Buy.  Buy.  Buy.

My record collection became more and more massive.  I moved from a 20 Gigabyte iPod to a 40 GB, then the 80 GB came out and just when I filled that one up Apple unveiled the 160 GB!

I started with pop-punk tinged emo like Taking Back Sunday and early Brand New, next was something with a little more attitude, bands with equal parts of singing and screaming mixed in:  Dead Poetic and Story of the Year.  Then it was a push for more angst, more screaming: only a hefty dose of double bass drum would satisfy my needs, urges, cravings.

Once my collection began to include genres as obscure as Electronic Grindcore, Progressive Emo Core, and [insert bizarre stupid name here] the trading phase came into play.  Though, this time around, there was a catch:

No one would trade information about the obscure gems of bands in their treasure troves.  No one would give up bands in the line-up of their perfect playlist.  Just like Pokemon cards people would only trade doubles.

If you liked Hit The Lights someone might divulge information to turn you on to All Time Low.  If you liked Underoath someone might let it slip that you’d certainly enjoy Chiodos.  Cute Is What We Aim For fans might be led to listen to The Maine.  But that was about it.  Bands that had waded into the waters of MTVs radar would be traded for similar bands of the like.

Then a bizarre phenomenon started to happen: the bands started to trade with each other.

All the bands wanted the same sound.  They were all striving for the same perfect line-up to get them signed to some trendy label like Rise Records or maybe even an imprint of a Major (which didn’t count as selling out because even though a band might end up signed under somebody like Warner Bros, that company’s logo wouldn’t appear on their CD sleeve).

So frontmen became the new holographic cards.

For example, Dance Gavin Dance kicked frontman and “clean” vocalist Jonny Craig out of the band.  The band said that he was a self destructive drug addict, but I read between the lines of that myspace bulletin:  Craig was just too bombastic –  so DGD grabbed Kurt Travis, the frontman from Five Minute Ride for a more straight forward voice.

Meanwhile, Emarosa’s frontman, Chris Roetter quit to start a Christian Chaotic Metalcore band.  Emarosa grabbed Craig’s bombastic voice so they could have less bombastic instrumentation.  And when the band’s new album “Relativity” came out, surprise: Craig’s voice was more bombastic than ever while the band’s instrumentation was basically dumbed down background music.

The trading got out of control.

While Escape The Fate’s frontman, Ronnie Radke was on the run from the cops (he basically murdered a guy in gang fight) ETF grabbed blessthefall’s Craig Mabbitt.

From First To Last’s Sonny Moore went solo and stole away Drop Dead, Gorgeous’s keyboardist to create stupid Electronica music.  FFTL was left with Matt Good, their backup vocalist/guitarist as their frontman (who did a surprisingly good job on their next record).

Sky Eats Airplane lost their clean vocalist Brack Cantrell, who was 50% of the two piece act.  But Lee Duck, the remaining member, grabbed the members of (In Theory) (who recently had their frontman quit) as a backing band and then auditioned for a new frontman for awhile until finally finding Jerry Roush.

Saosin’s frontman, Anthony Green*, quit the band to form Circa Survive.  Then Green joined up with the frontman of Chiodos: Craig Owens, and combined with the frontman of Rx Bandits, Matt Embree, to form the frontman supergroup: The Sound Of Animals Fighting.  Then Green went on to put out a solo album under his own name while Owens released a solo album under the name Cinematic Sunrise.

*Green had previously spent time fronting Audience Of One, High And Driving, and Jeer At Rome before his endeavor with Saosin.

The Early November’s frontman, Ace Enders, released a solo album under the name: I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business, and I guess he really liked it because shortly after he quit the band to release music under his own name.  Jeff Krumer, the band’s drummer, went to become the frontman of Grace Period, who changed their name to Your Sweet Uncertainty and also started some solo work while guitarist Joe Marro went solo with Joseph Marro and the Hum Drum.

As Cites Burn Lost their frontman, and much like FFTL, their guitarist/back-up vocalist had to step up to frontman duties.  Say Anthing frontman Max Bemis joined up with Saves The Day frontman Chris Conely to create Two Tongues.  Alexisonfire went on a hiatus while frontman Dallas Green started releasing solo albums under the name City & Colour.  One of the stupidest things to happen during this trading game was when As I Lay Dying’s frontman, Tim Lambesis, released an Arnold Swarchenegger themed solo album, though I think it was supposed to be ironic, making fun of how stupid solo albums can be.

Since all the bands, like all my friends binders of Pokemon cards, were essentially the same, all the changing really had no effect on any of the bands’ musical output.

Emo started with promise, just as punk did, but originality is running low these days.

(time: the present)

Now I’m sitting here, still stoked for Warped mind you, but wondering if this whole “Scene” is just going to be remembered as a passing fad.

Should I cash out early like I did with Pokemon?  Should I try to sell my limited to 100 pressings special colorway “Blowing Chunks” 7” EP by Evergreen Terrace that has two unreleased b-sides (songs I’m yet to even find circulating on the internet) while it still might be worth something?  Should I burn my tight pants, eBay all the band merch and signed posters, yell every obscure bands’ name from the top of a mountain for all to know, and cut my hair so I can see out of both my eyes?

I do not have a clue.  This is why I’m so distressed.

I’m probably just going to go down with the ship, hang on, burn out on the chariot of fire, and pick up the pieces after “The Scene” has hit rock bottom.

Though, if you find yourself in this same predicament I’m fairly certain that it is not too late for you too save yourself.

Si totusi...Unde merg cuvintele nerostite?

Si pentru ca imi place mult muzica, la fiecare post voi adauga cate o melodie,care, cred eu ca se va afla in tema.
Pentru inceput,o melodie care imi place foarte mult:D

chapter1

- I should start a cover band to play weekly in Hoboken. Please apply below if you are interested. Requirements include being familiar with the work of Trapt and Sum-41. On a related note, Rage Against the Machine songs can be reworked with a PacSun twist!

- Karma must be working in my favor these days, because we found a parking spot across the street from the bar and through some slip-up, my all-night drinking tab added up to $6.

Componentes
Deryck Whibley - Guitarra, Vocal principal
Dave Baksh - Guitarra principal, Vocal
Jason McCaslin - Bajo, Vocal
Steve Jocz - Batería, Vocal

Historia: Su primer álbum "Half Hour Of Power (2000)", demostró la valía como banda en sólo 29 minutos, la cual incluía su éxito "Makes No Difference", lo que les valió para grabar en Los Angeles, "All Killer No Filler", el cual les dió el pistoletazo al éxito, con "Fat Lip", e "In Too Deep", entre otras y haciendo su primera gira internacional.

En 2002 sale a la luz "Does This Look Infected?" que aunque no tuvo el éxito del anterior, era más complejo musicalmente y tenía entre otras el bombazo de "The Hell Song".
Al ganarse la credibilidad en el mundo de la música con sus dos últimos álbumes, entre ellas una canción llamada "Little Know it All" con Iggy Pop para el álbum Skull Ring del 2003..

Sum 41 tituló su último disco Chuck, que se lanzó el 12 de Octubre, 2004 con su primer single We're All To Blame." El álbum lo llamaron así por Chuck Pelletier, una persona de las fuerzas de paz de las Naciones Unidas que salvó las vidas de los integrantes de la banda y 40 otros civiles mientras que la banda estaba grabando un documental sobre la guerra en la República Democrática del Congo para War Child Canada, la cual está planeando lanzar el video pero la fecha de publicación es desconocida hasta el momento.

16 - Motivation (All Killer No Filler)

Esta cancion es un buen reflejo del primer album mainstream de la banda, fue el tercer single, aunque no es mas popular, ni tampoco el mas demostrativo de las pericias instrumentales de la banda, es una buena mezcla entre las influencias de la banda en una cancion precisa y conciza. La version de estudio es mi favorita principalmente por la aparicion de la voz de Gregi Nori.

15 - No Brains (Does This Look Infected?)

No Brains, o tambien popular bajo su working title, Yesterday dot com, es una de esas canciones de Sum con power, una de aquellas que necesariamente debia tocarse en vivo, de esas que en bandas del nivel de The Sums no puede dejar de superar a su version original show tras show. Actualmente no la estan tocando como parte del playlist de la banda, pero sin embargo la version en vivo le da unas cuantas patadas a su version en estudio... Ademas de que cuando estaba de humor, Deryck complementaba el solo de Brownsound con uno propio.

14 - Handle This (All Killer No Filler)

Handle This, con su aproach popero y todo, es una cancion todo terreno, que puedes escuchar muchas veces y en muchos estados de animo y nunca decepciona. Esta cancion es una de las pocas canciones que en la era All Killer sonaba "mas que bien" en vivo.

13 - Count Your Last Blessings (Underclass Hero)

Aqui estamos ante una cancion post-brownsound, canciones que para algunos tal vez no gustan mucho, o para otros es necesario "aprender a querer". Sin embargo Count Your Last Blessings es una cancion que encaja muy bien en lo artistico, ya que expresa muy bien con el tono de voz y de los instrumentos el estado de animo de las letras, a un nivel relativamente poetico si se quiere.

12 - What We're All About [SpiderMan Version] (Music From and Inspired in SpiderMan/Motivation EP)

Ciertamente no una de las mas queridas de la banda, de hecho ellos mismos detestan tocarla en vivo. Sin embargo el riff de esta cancion es legendario dentro de la banda. Es probablemente uno de los mas creativos de ellos, y no me desagrada para nada tampoco el canto, por muy "rapero" que suene. La tocaron en vivo muy pocas veces, principalmente en su version original de Half Hour of Power, pero hay una presentacion en vivo en su version mas nueva por ahi en internet. La version de estudio se lleva esta, porque tanta interaccion con el publico mata un poco la rapidez de la cancion.

11 - Little Know It All [feat. Iggy Pop] (Skull Ring)

Eventualmente saldria, porque aunque si bien son las mas conocidas, me gustan varias canciones de Iggy. Esta cancion fue compuesta por Deryck, y me gusta bastante como suena por escuchar a Iggy pero cantando al estilo Sum, aunque en estudio esta cancion entrega mucha mas energia que en vivo.

10 - The Bitter End (Chuck)

El tributo version personalizada de Sum 41 a Metallica, es la cancion que mejor demuestra el talento de guitarrista del extrañado Brownsound, y al mismo tiempo la capacidad de Stevo (sin contar los solos de bateria). Aunque solo existen en internet un par de videos exhibiendo su version en vivo, definitivamente aquellas dos versiones (con mala calidad de audio y todo) se merecen una mencion especial. La ultima palabra en la letra de la cancion... So!

9 - What I Believe (Half Hour Of Power)

Half Hour Of Power es especial, no solo esta cancion sino que todo el disco representan una condensacion excelente del talento de composicion que la banda ha tenido desde sus primeros dias. En particular What I Believe es una cancion que toma el punk californiano pero le da un toque propio, tan unico de The Sums que va principalmente en ese uso liberal de los instrumentos pfera de los margenes mas establecidos, asi como tambien lo hace Dave's Possesed Hair por ejemplo, lastima que no se escucha en vivo desde hace varios años.

8 - There's No Solution (Chuck)

Siempre he sentido en esta cancion un estilo musical que me recuerda a esa mezcla de velocidades como la que usa Linkin Park. El coro de esta cancion es genial, y representa una gran madurez como grupo para Sum 41, tanto en letras como en el uso instrumental. La forma en que las voces de Deryck y Dave suenan en vivo es simplemente perfecta para el animo de la cancion, la version en vivo es una de las canciones que mejor suenan en el repertorio de Sum 41 en los conciertos del tour de Chuck.

7 - 88 (Chuck)

Deryck describe perfectamente esta cancion al considerarla la maxima expresion de Sum. Es una mezcla principalmente instrumental acompañada de una cambiante melodia de voz, suena excelente y ademas envuelve muchos de los estilos escuchados en Does This Look Infected? y Chuck, la version en vivo es muy impresionante tambien, pero la version en estudio nos brinda la posibilidad de escucharla con toques de guitarra acustica y piano, haciendola la version superior.

6 - Billy Spleen (Does This Look Infected?)

Me gusta mucho el estilo agrecivo en esta cancion, los instrumentos son correctos pero lo que realmente destaca en esta cancion es justamente la voz y sus letras, sobre todo por la forma en que esta cancion fue mezclada en estudio. Lastima que Sum no la toque en vivo casi nunca.

5 - March Of The Dogs (Underclass Hero)

La mejor cancion del ultimo disco, punto. Es una balada punk bastante clasica, que opta por lo tradicional pero que ademas decide ser experimental. Esta cancion no sigue el patron de escala clasico de Sum 41, y ademas usa tonos de voz distintos al comun y tiene un excelente coro. Por ultimo tiene unas letras directas y un mensaje claro. Todo esto sin mencionar el final de la cancion, una digna sucesora para grandes como No Reason.

4 - The Hell Song (Does This Look Infected?)

La cancion incial del disco, es ademas una de las mejores. Probada favorita de los fans, incluyendome, esta cancion es practicamente un himno a Sum 41, al menos instrumentalmente representa el estilo de Sum mejor que cualquier otra, el uso correcto del coro y un buen tono de voz la dejan como una cancion precisa. Para muchos esta es la cancion de "iniciacion", la primera que escuchan al conocer la banda. En vivo no deja de ser probablemente la que mejor provoca reaccion del publico, sin necesitar adorno ni interaccion, esta cancion prende por si sola.

3 - We're All To Blame (Chuck)

El estandarte maximo de Chuck y probablemente su cancion mas popular, es la que mejor encierra el estilo completo de este album, entregando consigo una tonada metal que se conecta con estilos mas lentos propios de las canciones relajadas de Sum 41. En vivo simplemente es inalcansable para la version de estudio.

2 - Still Waiting (Does This Look Infected?)

Era imposible de otra forma, Still Waiting no podia quedar fuera de esta lista, no en mi lista al menos. Esta cancion tiene un sinnumero de razones para estar aqui, pero las mas importantes son el potente estilo de voz y la creatividad en su composicion instrumental. Esta cancion es un must-listen de la musica en general, siendo incluso transformada en remix y ademas realizada en cover por varias otras bandas. Ademas es la introduccion perfecta para aquella cancion que siguio sus pasos de la mejor forma posible...

1 - No Reason (Chuck)

Kick-ass en vivo, kick-ass en estudio, el mejor single, la mejor cancion y parte del mejor album de Sum 41. Es una cancion que no te da tiempo para respirar, su bateria es lo que mas destaca, siendo probablemnte una de las mas cretivas de Sum, pero ademas tiene un excelente riff de guitarra, un excelente acompañamiento de bajo y por sobre todo, un estilo de voz expresado de manera que supera a todas las canciones anteriores en esta lista. Es una cancion que simplemente dudo deje corto a cualquier verdadero fan de Sum.
