  • The songs might sound similar but the only difference is that Sum 41's songs actually sound good.

  • most of this is bulllshit

    but the my chemical romance thing....they have alot of songs that sound alike

  • i dont know if its a dedication-tribute-steal-co-wo­rk but the

    "FULL-ALL-COMPLETE" screaming bloody murder album is a "TWIN" to "MyChael"

    i dont expect you to believe, take a look at yourself on the similar songs video of my channel

  • i agree with some of these songs sounding like others. and im a hard core sum 41 fan. but the linkin park song at the beginning doesn't sound anything like the other song. and some of these songs on here the sum 41 song was written first

  • One small thing:

    I hope u know that The Bitter End is a tribute to metallica?

  • there's similiraties just because it's the same rythm dude, in rap it's the same, in country it's the same, in hip hop it's teh same come on give them a break

  • @AnthonyYaff , WTF. Green Day is like, the most legit and amazing band ever. I'd like an example of how they are thieves please. Otherwise you're just a stupid fucking prick. Don't waste everyones time with your stupid bullshit comments.

  • Dear friends, If you see garbage like this on Youtube, block the user. If enough people do it, the account will be suspended & the video removed.

    Did you know that Youtube processes over ONE HUNDRED YEARS worth of video footage everyday? How much of it is time-wasting crap like this, rickrolls & other bullshit? Let's work together for a better internet.

    Copy and paste this message wherever you find time-wasting garbage.

    Thumbs up this comment.

    Thanks.

  • Okay, I must admit... Some of them does sound a bit alike... But come on! Its exstreamly hard to write a song, without getting it to sound like another song. Try write a song yourself.

  • lol, i'm not a sensitive fan boy, but the songs aren't even remotely similar. You want really thieves, check out Green Day.

  • Papa roach, Linkin park, Nickelback... xdd nada que ver con sum 41 , todos molan , pero nada que ver, son unos idolos estos grupos que dicen que han inspirado en sum xd

  • listen to we just don't believe by morning glory and no reason by sum 41. even worse than any of these.

  • @rorysux For your information, No Reason by Sum 41 was recorded before that other song.

  • @Haavard993 not really. those songs were written by crack rocks steady members years prior to the recording of the record, which in fact was released before no reason

  • @rorysux Ah, ok. I checked out the release date of "We just don't believe", and I knew that No Reason was written a while before the album was planned. So I just thought it was like that. :)

  • you just linked blink 182, green day, the offspring, my chemical romance and metallic to sum 41. doesnt this just show the verrity that sum 41 have in there music

  • Maybe you should listen to the ACTUAL notes in these songs.............maybe try to name the keys too? or do you not know what that is? there are billions of songs out there....yes, some melodies will sound the same, congratulations for taking the time out of your life to find them........

  • You're kinda off with some of these.

  • Some songs you used in your video just sound soooo different but yes you are right but i guess musicans use riffs from eachother to inspire theirselves..?

  • 1:10 Well obviously, theres a rapist in Linkin Park... GUESS WHO???? lmao

  • it is impossible to be different from all songs released in history, and several videos on youtube show several other songs that are similar to those of the sum 41, sum 41 and has several unique features in their songs

  • Sigh.. big sigh..

  • you do realize that theres literally thousands of songs like these. that have the same melody or harmony.

  • AND FUCK OF!!!!!!!!

  • FUCK OF!

  • I think its a great Video,I'm sure it took a long time to create and there's a lot that really sounds similar. But I wouldn't say it's a competition or something likes that, cause you don't really have that much space to have your very own riff noone else uses or used before. So noone is better or something when they use the same chords, each band uses them in another way, and thats what counts, right?

  • I found nothing offensive, cuz I love all of 'em. XP

  • So what ? Sum 41 stay the best 'cause they makes better songs !

  • So Sum 41 takes really good songs, and makes them better.

    And then better the sum 41 versions turn out to be their less popular songs.

  • NONE of offsprings songs sound like NOFX riffs.....offsprings riffs are way more heavier while nofx is like more poppyer punk (ik there punk but the guitar isnt very intense like offsprings)

  • @SnowSkateFTW Well there, good sir, NOFX's riffs are anything but poppy. Thou shall not speak badly about the greatest punk band of all time.

  • This video just makes me remember how much better Sum 41 is than all of these other bands :)

  • Omg people stop saying that sum 41 did or did not rip the songs off. This video just shows where they got their inspiration from...

  • well they are similar in some parts only..

    and i dont really think sum 41 would ever copy from some others music.. i mean they are too bored to even listen to other bands and they may not even know my Chemical romance at all xD

    and the song "take a look at your self i can tell it is a lot similar but its only a bonus track on them album soo

  • Lol, not enough to say it's a copy. All the songs have the same freakin' chords, so the pattern is gonna be similar, but not close enough to be considered copies

  • lol xD

  • seriously man , I could do the same thing with every other band on earth xD

  • do you like sum 41?

  • @SturgisMcLaren Me too lml

  • Well it's basically powerchords so all punk rock/hard rock songs will always sound the same :/

  • even do the some of the songs sound a bit simular, sum 41:s version is always better!!!!! the other bands suck!

  • May I just interject by saying that Nickelback are the most embarrasingly terrible band ever. Suprised their shit gets on the radio.

  • See I can see how blink and sum 41 are like similar. They remind me so much of eachother. But who's to say sum 41 didn't write some f these songs before other people.

  • i'm surprised you didnt say the bitter end-sum 41 and battery-metallica lol. but that song is a tribute to metallica

  • @rimticketts Haha, that's why I left it out. Also, everyone already knows that as well as the Pieces/Scientist comparison! I wanted to try and be more "original".

  • @SturgisMcLaren haha yeah fair enough. i knew about a couple of these, but i prefer sum 41 to most of these bands anyways haha. except metallica coz theyre pretty awesome

  • hey dude..i just wanted to say this.

    YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

    you put some song that sum created before the other band did.

    and about the "vocal " beat copy. hey man.. did you ever heared any hip hop ? almost everything as the same vocal beat or whatever you call it.

    dont offend but this is one of the most idiotic video i ever saw :)

  • @lYuvALl None of the Sum 41 songs in this video came before their respective comparisons. Six comes before seven, one comes before two. Please, please, please don't throw stones in glass houses.

  • @SturgisMcLaren but.....what im my evil neibors live in it?.........

  • @Sk8Ninja7 What?

  • @SturgisMcLaren exactlly.......

  • @Sk8Ninja7 Cool story.

  • like to sing abt going against society and establishment so the verse sounds similiar, and sum 41 have claimed to be huge metallica fans and their chuck album is very inspired by their music, either way in my opinion they are better then every his band in this video altho i love every one, this video duz not offend me as a sum 41 fan becuz for every compsarision there is a logical resaon for sounding similiar

  • @AVAblinksum44 I love you. No homo.

  • first of all id like to say i like every band on this video except nickleback, and i dont think that sum 41 intentially tries to sound like anyone else its just all these bands make similiar sounding music andf there are just so many chords on a guitar and melodies in songs you can use their bound to sound similiar sometimes it duznt mean anyone stole anything and the whole greenday thing with the lyrics from underclass hero sounding rlly similaiar is simply becuz all punk bands (continue)

  • I still love them. You can say everything, but I love them.

  • Well i think that the Pull The Curtain reference didn't fit well and The Bitter End was a Metallica tribute. THANK GOD you didn't use Chop Suey/ We're All To Blame i have no idea why people say they sound the same

  • @WeHateSandCastles I tried making the least ridiculous comparisons and the Chop Suey one is definitely up there with them!

  • Wonderwall - Some say :/

  • Yeah... Sum 41 is still my favourite band. Its not liked they just completely ripped off the other songs. They adapted it and made it their own. Loads of bands do it. Nice comparison.

  • The bitter end is an tribute to Metallica's battery .. and they said that they've got a lot of inspiration from Metallica, so it's no wonder why it sounds similar...

  • 4:46 lol

  • i'm sure that if i take your favourite band, i can find the same kind of shit your doing with Sum 41. So please shut the fuck off, music inspires music. And The Bitter End IS an hommage to METALLICA. Please, leave your computer, you've got homework...

  • The Sum 41 version is always better ...

  • @bgeyssens i agree

  • i like all of this bands but the songs are very diferent in the guitar... you should learn to listen.

  • i absolutely love sum 41 ... but i kinda thought it was funny how i could guess what song it was going to be compared to :b

  • Sum 41 is my fav band of all time and I know some of there songs do sound like other ones but there are no original ideas anymore. Half of the sum 41 songs and half of the other songs in this video could of been used in this video...type in Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles)

  • It's simply Punk rock , so they are many band and many song with same riff ,

  • (just personal opinion)

    1.)the "american idiot" and "underclass hero" comparison... "american idiot",both song and cd, were released on 2006. "underclass hero" (song) and "subject to change" (another Sum 41's song, from Chuck) has almost the same melody, and "Chuck" was released on 2004, I mean, UnderclassHero is not (my personal opinion) influenced by American Idiot.

    2.)I doubt Sum 41 has been influenced by My Chemical Romance (but who knows..)

    but it´s OK, I prefer that than Bieber or Cyrus

  • @aitoral American Idiot came out in 2004 and in that comparison it was only the solos. In Alternative Press #268 Deryck talks about being influenced by MCR.

  • @aitoral the album and SOLO for underclass hero came out in 2007

  • lol true some are similar but alot of them are pushing it, and if u were a sum 41 fan you would know they didnt do this on purpose because deryk has no interest in learning other peoples songs and only knows the hand full of other songs they have covered

  • U cant compare SUM 41 with some stupid bands

  • U cant compare SUM 41 with some stupid bands

  • but they dont play his songs

    songs of sum 41 is betters than the other than you say

  • gotta say, you could do this for pretty much any given song ever written by any artist and say it sounds "similar" to another song. there are only 12 notes in the known musical vocabulary (obviously not taking into account different octaves) so there are only so many different combinations that an artist can make for a song.

  • This is a proof that there is a limit to how unique a song can be, this doesn't mean they copied, they got to have their inspiration from somewhere. So stop hating the guy who made this video, he just pointed out interesting similarities between songs, and obviously he likes Sum 41 too ...

  • ... one ?! 88 from sum 41 is a direct tribute to lepper messiah ( Metallica ). And the bitter end is a tribute to metallica too. This video is stupid...

  • You should research this before you make such blunt assumptions.. You are saying that sum 41 copied these songs when some of them were written after the ones that sum 41 did. Theyre my favorite band, fuck you

    Also, FUCK YOU FOR PUTTING NICKELBACK ON HERE! FUCK NICKELBACK THAT SHITS SO FUCKING HORRIBLE!

  • @LiterOfCola17 No, YOU do your research, all the songs listed were done before Sum 41's songs. Also, way to over-react jackass. I clearly told fanboys to not watch this video. So it's your own fault for being so butt-hurt. Have a nice day.

  • @SturgisMcLaren ur stupid --' SUM41 ROCKS!!!!!!

  • The bitter end is a tribute to Metallica so thats maby its sounds the same as through the never just saying

  • This is bullshit !!

  • One and 88 is nothing the same :D

  • it will be aqard to the video crietor... aammm... if you try to say that sum 41 copy songs throe this video so.... just for your know... sum 41 was crieted before half of those bands so its cant be posible that they copied hahahah =]

    for small example: my chemical romance was on the air only in 2001 and sum are older :P

    sorry for very retarded writing :P (english is not my first launguge)

  • Guess what guess who inspired Sum 41? Metallica!

  • OK, I've been a long time a big S41 and Bizzy D fun but it must be admitted that Deryck may have taken some melodies from other songs. It's pretty sad but I don't really care about it.

  • the same every songwriter is influence by other it is normal today today also e.g. green day is influence by other bands

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUU LIVE SUM 41!!!

  • Im a fan and i think you can here the comparisons in some but oh well They Still rock

  • I know they sound alike, but hey, some band did the beginning of The Clansman by Iron Maiden by complete mistake.

  • SUM 41 ROX!!

  • also...

    "Before I cross my heart and hope to die at all" - The Used lyrics

    "I would cross my heart and hope to die." - Sum 41 lyrics

  • @theepoison Cross my heart and hope to die is a general phrase people have used FOREVER.

  • im a big sum 41 fan and i actually kinda do agree that these r kinda similar and i always did think that the underclass hero and american idiot solos r similar.

  • FUCK YOU!

  • fuck you man!

  • what's funny is that sum 41 has toured with offspring and covered how you remind me from nickelback, i don't know what to think about this except they still rock

  • The comparation of Green Day is so stupid...

    Like you trying to ruin Sum 41...

    I with restinpeacejimmy ... you`re a fuckin loser

  • my chemical romance is a bad band lool,blink 182 is a regular band XDD,the offspring is a very good band yeaahh XDD,my ,and sum 41 is awesome band yeaaaaaahh XDD,metallica is the !!MASTER!! of metal XDD, SUM 41 ROCKS : D

  • just popular riffs and chord progressions

  • the hell song and how remind me dont sound alike whatsoever. take a look at yourself and man overboard don't either.

    but what is sad here is all the sum 41 sound better than their comparison anyway .

  • @tosh61 and the hell song came out before how you remind me, too

  • You are a fuckin lonely man...

  • I like sum 41 too, and almost all the other bands that you put here. And I've noticed that before but I dont know if you know anything about music but in case most bands use to "copy" others but that doenst mean that they are stealing songs or anything

  • Everything sounds like something else when you really dig in

  • metallica - master of puppets verse and sum 41- still waiting verse

  • Any1 knows what the song in the beginning?

  • SUM 41 RULEZ

  • alot of these are right, but im pretty sure that in your second comparison with my chemical romance, sum 41s song came before :s

  • i kinda half agree although being a fan of sum 41, however its genre related, that is to say theres gna very obvious overlaps in timing and riffs and that. but

    FAKE AND GAYYY LOOOLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !!!11!!!!1!1!!11

  • you are so fucking stupid -.-

  • fuck you bitch!

  • Part 2? Wouldn't that make this the PENultimate comparison then?

  • Lol Sum41 appears to be a cover band xD

  • I think though the thing is that with music going the way it has even today its still pretty hard to be original I mean as a musician you will eventually have to repeat stuff but just hope people aren't dicks about it

  • it's punkrock XD who cares... ^^

    some chords :D

    (i'm a fan from all these bands)

  • ok they use it to 'insperate' from these songs, AND? its just insperation

  • i mean,man some comparison you've made are a little bit forced. i'm saying this being a very big fan of them.but how can u see some songs are almost the same but it's normal to be influenced by the others when u wright a song.also when i write my songs i'm influenced. ;)

  • Yeah, I know I forced a few of them and I agree with everything you said. I'm the same way when I write songs.

  • people like you makes this music a shit so shup up fuck up if you dont know NOTHING ABOUT ROCK---

    im sure you are one of that stupid minds of pop, or rap, or that shit...

    im sure you have nothing to do, right???

    why you dont try study, or sports or GIRLS??? fucking looser...

  • Someone's feelings are hurt. Sum 41 is pop-punk. You know that right? This video is also two years old, so you're really late on this one.

  • Fuck off.

  • i like the offspring

  • A few of them you're REALLY stretching it. Everytime I look for you vs. This Is Goodbye, for instance.

    Plus, it's not like Sum's the only and that has had similarities with other band's songs. You be hard pressed to find a band that hasn't done this at all.

  • I'm a big fan of Sum 41 and I have no problem with this video. Another similarity that you can add is Slayer's Raining Blood and Sum 41's 88. The breakdown at the end is quite similar (even the guitar solos)

  • The Nickelback comparsion doesn't really sound the same. Also the "Take a look at yourself" Green day comparision isn't very good. To me, the comparsion was more like American Idiot, but you can disagree with me. Also, the Everytime I look At you comparision with This is Goodbye doesn't sound the same except the bass line and the last words in the verse. Strange thing is that Blink-182, Sum 41, Ismfof (They have nothing to do with the video, lol), and Green day are my Main Favorite bands.

  • damn :D

    maybe .. they sound similar but

    Breaking benjamin covered Sum 41 :D

    Compare Dairy of Jane & There's no solution (acoustic)

  • I have to admit some songs are similar but not all. Great vid

  • i dont agree with most of them but ok...

    also most of the songs shown, sum 41 ones are better by my opinion.

    plus sum 41 worked with most of the bands u just shown like metallica, blink and offsprings!

  • true

  • fuck, i almost died when that picture of bush came up, thats the best thing ive seen in ages

  • just because songs sound alike doesnt mean they copied them

  • well, I am a fan of sum 41 and love them so much!!anyway i have to congratulate 4 the video and i think that sum 41's fans have to be honest listening to these songs..so dont need to insult or other stupi things. I agree with u for some songs,not all, casue som comparison r reaaly forced in my oipinion! but anyway, where the songs r similar, some of them can be considered equals, but others have only influences in my opinion, only influences!no more!anyway, i admit it's a good critic, so its ok

  • Yeah, I did a bit of nitpicking, but thanks.

  • why would you say "i'm not accused sum 41 of copying" and not "i'm not accusing either band of copying". plus, why do people compare sum 41 and blink 182? they don't sound alike. both good bands yeah but they're not similar in any way

  • Only the parts I mentioned.

  • no buddy. anything will sound similar if you listen to it enough. and nice rant above, you really don't have anything better to do between making these stupid videos

  • So by your theory, if I were to listen to Drain You by Nirvana and Still Waiting by Sum 41 enough times, then I would eventually find them similar? What about Stairway to Heaven and ANIC? On a side note, this is the only video I've made like this so I don't know why you think I made more than one.

  • alot of it is just the fact they're the same genres. and also alot of them are major influences on eachother. they all inspire eachothers songs.

  • the thing is - every fucking where you go, the "new'er" bands nowadays will always have some of the older generation bands in them. Because things gets "used" up.

    I mean, think about it. In 100 years. There will be so much similarities that it will be REALLY hard to write music.

    I'm a "musician" myself, and i Know it's hard to do stuff that no one else has done before.

    Just saying :)

  • just have to say it's TO spit right in the face of the establishment and not THE spit xD but this is cool, all my fav bands, with most of my absolute fav band that is SUM 41!!!

  • Sorry, must've been a typo or something.

  • you could make a video like this for any band

  • I wish someone would show me 5 more videos like these of other bands with just as many similarities.

  • The only one I think is a blatant rip-off is The Black Parade comparison.

  • Very nice! I don't have that good of an ear, but I wish I did. You can seriously hear the similarities!! I pesonally LOVE the song 88.

  • you´re a looser . How daer you to compare sum 41?

    Full

  • It's not a sin, take it easy pal.

  • i jsut want you to know that BAD RELIGION and MISFITS are SUM 41's influences

    and NOFX, SCREECHING WEASEL, THE CURE for BLINK 182

    both great bands for CANADA(sum) and USA(Blink)

  • i love sum but this is funny :)

  • great video! i watched it many times...

  • this is goodbye and take a look at yourself (that didnt make it to underclass hero) are just bits of other bands put together, but this is goodbye is super gd its like a blink song

  • nitpicking.

  • Totally. It's supposed to be an ultimate comparison, what did you expect?

  • Escape the Fate - My Apocalypse

    Sum 41 - Pieces

    Check out the very beginning of both of them.

  • offspring<3

  • Are you trying to prove anything with this vid?

  • great vid ;-)

    and the best bands ever^^

    but i think if you compare the bands with each other you will find a lot of similarities.

  • You can say that with everybody you know. This is not especially sum. You can find similtaries between every bands.

  • do you often tall alone?

  • I don't know?

  • not bad. i do see that they do sound the same.... but im sure sum 41 didn't copy rifts, drum beats, or lyrics.... well.. maybe parts to song of lyrics.... all in all... not bad

  • nn si assomigliano nenke

  • sum 41 don't copy! cojione! nn dirlo mai
