I think sum41 have many root from metal, "the most metal" than other melodicpunk, and I think they can play good. Like doing cover from iron maiden.

Well its not like a hidden secret that sum41 are actually metalheads, but for whatever reason they decided to play gay pop punk (probably for the money because lets face it, there is a lot more money in pop punk)

Hello
Well, the riffs have got certain similarities, but they are by no means identical. Just listened to both songs.

Oh! I know what riff you're talking about now! I've heard that Still Waiting song before plenty! And now that I hear Kataklysm's song next to it I can see how they are similar..... Heard them both, but never picked out that they sounded the same....
Sum41 is horrible.. it's a shame that Kerry King made an appearance in one of their videos, poor him.

Didnt sum41 already say the where huge iron maiden fans or something? They where the only band to play a decent riff at that Metallica icon thing, it sounded good, but the singer sounded too teenager-ish for a metallica song.

Yeah the singer didnt fit, also if you notice at the mtv icon, they were also the only band to play a real guitar solo, note for note. Not only that the drummer played something different for the enter sandman part than what lars originally played, but we dont need to turn this into a "lars sucks at drums" thread

The only aspect of Sum 41's cover that really pissed me off was that the intro to "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was played by the guitarist when most people know that Mr. Burton is responsible for those notes on "Ride..."

You're right. But we should state that the Sum 41 drummer is almost as bad. And that is HORRIBLE.iAMtheblackwizards said:Yeah the singer didnt fit, also if you notice at the mtv icon, they were also the only band to play a real guitar solo, note for note.

A role model to mankind:
I haven't heard any of those two songs, but I've noticed a similar similarity:
Carcass "Death certificate" (from "Heartwork")
and
Papa Roach "Last resort"
I think I said "Heeeeey, that sounds familiar" when I first heard the Papa Roach song and then dug into my old tapes as I was pretty sure I had it somewhere...

The annoying high pitched part in Last Resort is literally taken right out of Iron Maiden's Genghis Kahn
