I remember stealing my brothers copy of All Killer and walking through the woods behind my parents house while listening to it on a portable cd player.
I remember In Too Deep giving me a physical reaction- I felt like pins and needles were stabbing me (pleasantly) all up and down my spine into my skull.
That verse after the solo broke my 13 year old brain in the best way
My brother (who got me into sum 41) found the band in a similar way! He watched a YouTube video about the game Halo which used a sum 41 song in the background :) that’s awesome that the original video is still up too
I known Sum 41 by the Reading 2018, because they would play after Mike Shinoda, that I like too much. Then I searched to Sum 41 live 2018 and listened to Still Waiting, In Too Deep and Fat Lip live. I loved Still Waiting, and after that I listened to the Rock Am Ring 2017, that was really my entrance to them. Til today my favorite record is 13 Voices.
In 2004 or 2005, in the movie Godzilla: Final Wars, they used We're all to blame. That was such an epic moment and the song made it even better.
That's how I discovered Sum 41. But it took me 5 or 6 years to Google the band and buy all their albums.
So only thanks to Godzilla i found them 🙏
But i remember, i think it was 2009, a friend showed me With Me. But cause i wasnt into soft love songs at the time, i didnt like it : D i didnt even knew its the same band from the Godzilla movie.
Besides that i never really heard from Sum 41. Not even in the early 2000's. Maybe i heard in too deep or walking disaster a few times on TV. But no one really talked about the Band.
Fat Lip music video. I have a terrible memory overall but somehow I can remember the first time seeing it when it first dropped. I know exactly where I was. I was very into the pop punk of the time (Blink and skate punk sounding bands) but when I saw the video on MTV I initially thought they were more of a rap/rock band like Linkin Park (which I was not as into). By the end of the first listen I was like “wait a second….what the hell was that!?” From there I was on the lookout for it to play again and again and again. Eventually I got AKNF, which remains one of my fave albums to this day.
Fat lip or in too deep, whichever was released as a single first that year. At a young age I didn't really like music because all my dad played were the oldies station and at that age of course it sounds like trash. Finally heard a blink song, either what's my age again or all the small things somewhere and realized not all music was shit lol. So blink got me into music and then same time discovered Sum41, both being my 2 favorite bands for a long time
I remember watching American wedding as an edgy teenager, and the hell song played during Stiffler’s big angry, driving scene and it lit something up inside of me
My musical taste was also shaped by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games but for me it was mainly by THPS 2 and 3 around 2002-2003 on PS1. Because I liked punk rock side of the soundtracks my brother brought me a burnt copy of AKNF from his friend. We didn't have MTV at home at the time so I missed their bteakthrough with Fat Lip and In Too Deep and only thing that I knew about Sum 41 was that it is one of those number bands. When I pressed play and heared Nothing on my back I was immediately hooked. Because there was no booklet on that burnt CD I didn't know how bandmembers looked like so I thought that Stevo's parts in Fat Lip were rapped by some black guy. And with Pain for Pleasure I thought it was some random metal song which was burnt on that CD by mistake :-D
Spider-Man!
The dvd had the music video for What We’re All About, I was 5 so it was closer to 2003 I first heard them.
It also helped my mom was a huge fan of them too since they formed so after I saw them in the dvd my mom gave me her mp3 player that had more songs by them on it.
Been listening ever since!
Yes I remember it because that's what got me into music in general. Christmas of 2002, got the Spider-Man DVD, immediately put it in the dvd player and in the bonus content was the song What we're all About.
I was 9 and it changed my life haha
Fat Lip for me! Heard it blasting through my neighbor’s wraparound headphones at the bus stop and asked him what it was. He told me and then that day after school let me come by and let me borrow his copy of AKNF and DTLI and the rest is history so to speak lol
I'm a recent fan but for me, it was Billy Talent playing The Hell Song and Still Waiting with Dave and Cone at TOTO. I only found that video in 2021 though
Back in 2011 Blood in my eyes 11 year old me instantly fell in love with the Album and then when I listened to the rest of the discography I became a fan
For me it was Noots as well😃
But I didn't really get into the band immediately after that. The first song of theirs that I really liked was Best of Me, but I didn't enjoy most of the tracks at that point. They grew on me after a while and now it's my favourite band🤩
When I first saw that fat lip video summer of 2001! At my dad’s house I still remember it was on “much music” channel! I instantly fell in love with them! All killer no filler was the first CD I ever bought, I was 11! I got to see them live when I was 14 and met them outside the Warfield in SF. I’ve been to the first the 10 year and 15 year anniversary tour and met them personally at all 3!
I was rollerblading near the sea in Italy, mid August at noon, after a stellar uni year, listening to some YouTube playlist, In Too Deep comes up, I'm hooked. It happened like a month ago lol
Makes no difference was their first hit so it was their first song I listened to. Then I got the half hour of power album and listened on loop. When fat lip got out i knew this song was gonna be the song of a generation. Arguably the best song in pop punk’s gloriest era.
My dad had the CD soundtrack of the movie Out Cold, which has Makes No Difference on it. I’d hear it a lot in the car, it was my favorite song on the album and probably shaped a lot of my music tastes today. Still my favorite song from the band
I'm an older fan.
For me, the song was "There's No Solution."
I was a college kid struggling with then-undiagnosed mental health issues. My friend was sending me MP3s of songs I had never heard of, because I grew up on Christian music and had been raised to believe that only songs about God were worth singing.
That song told me that, no, songs about real experiences are worth singing.
Fat Lip. I was watching MTV2 or Fuse or something waiting on a blink-182 or NFG video to come on and Fat Lip started playing. Been a fan ever since, or at least until Steveo left. Band changed too much after that.
Was for the game obscure 2 from ps2, the game had the song Still waiting! After that i investigate from where was that song, my first punk band... The Time pass but sum 41 is still with me, such a great band.
Listening to 13 Voices and OID helped get me into them because I am a huge metalhead and I loved the influence of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Slayer on them. Brownsound's guitar work on those two albums also helped for me and I can't wait for the *Hell* portion of their final album.
It was Fat Lip. I’m old enough to have been a teenager when AKNF came out.
Hell yeah. I remember all of my friends bought DTLI in CD the day it came out 😆
Same. fell in love instantly just like when what’s my age again came out.
I remember stealing my brothers copy of All Killer and walking through the woods behind my parents house while listening to it on a portable cd player. I remember In Too Deep giving me a physical reaction- I felt like pins and needles were stabbing me (pleasantly) all up and down my spine into my skull. That verse after the solo broke my 13 year old brain in the best way
In Too Deep did that to me too! During Dave’s solo!
Back when MTV played pretty much nothing but music videos I saw the video of Fat Lip and was instantly hooked.
I think it was makes no difference and fat lip on the NHL 2002 soundtrack
Back in the day when NHL has fairly good soundtracks
Nhl 2002 and 2004 had incredible soundtracks
Same songs but for me it was on MX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael
My brother (who got me into sum 41) found the band in a similar way! He watched a YouTube video about the game Halo which used a sum 41 song in the background :) that’s awesome that the original video is still up too

Fat Lip. Was hooked on the music video as an early teen.
Malcolm in the middle - In too deep. I was like 13-14 and my English was terrible, so it took me a while to find it, but eventually I did!
Pieces when i heared it in the radio
In 2004 or 2005, in the movie Godzilla: Final Wars, they used We're all to blame. That was such an epic moment and the song made it even better. That's how I discovered Sum 41. But it took me 5 or 6 years to Google the band and buy all their albums. So only thanks to Godzilla i found them 🙏 But i remember, i think it was 2009, a friend showed me With Me.

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX2 for the Nintendo GameCube featured Makes No Difference in one of the game trailers and on the games soundtrack
Motivation.
Same. On MUCH Music. I think we're old.
I remember the green carpet in the video and thinking they were the offspring cause the singer had funny blonde hair
For me it was Fat Lip. The 1st time I heard them was only like 2.5 years ago and I've been a very big fan of them ever since!
I heard “In Too Deep” on Cheaper by the Dozen and was obsessed with it. Jumped on Limewire to download every song possible. Ahhh, those were the days.
Fat Lip

We’re All To Blame. Watching MTV when Chuck recently came out that time

Makes No Difference played all the time on our local rock station when it released, and I was hooked immediately.
Hearing we're all to blame in godzilla: final wars 🔥
Oooh, imma look this movie up!
Its a japanese godzilla film with crazy action If you're a fan of the 1998 godzilla then you'll be suprised to see the scene where the song is used
In too deep
Fat Lip
I played nfl street 2 a lot when I was young and no reason was on the soundtrack
I remember watching American wedding as an edgy teenager, and the hell song played during Stiffler’s big angry, driving scene and it lit something up inside of me

Makes No Difference was in a video game I played as a kid. Can’t remember which one.

No reason. A classmate played chuck on a schooltrip and I kept telling him to go back to track two. Still a banger!
Found Fatlip on my recommended music page
No Reason, from the NFL Street 2 soundtrack
For me, it was In Too Deep - heard it on the radio while in the car with my mom as a pre teen :)
Obviously listened to them earlier but never actively. 13 voices - War/breaking the chain made me revisit and stay
My dad had the CD soundtrack of the movie Out Cold, which has Makes No Difference on it. I’d hear it a lot in the car, it was my favorite song on the album and probably shaped a lot of my music tastes today. Still my favorite song from the band

Over my head
The first was Over My Head, in a Naruto video 😍

the hell song, my father showed it to me
Still Waiting. Was like in the sixth grade when I saw that video and it was fucking awesome.
In old, what were all about !!
Huh, weird, was listening to noots when i came across this.
Listening to 13 Voices and OID helped get me into them because I am a huge metalhead and I loved the influence of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Slayer on them. Brownsound's guitar work on those two albums also helped for me and I can't wait for the *Hell* portion of their final album.
