Sum 41 have pulled out and been replaced by The Blackout, the fuckin Blackout?!

"I feel really terrible about letting down the fans," says Deryck. "I injured my back and the doctors are saying that I could be in a wheelchair. So, as much as I wanted to be able to do it, I've got to look at reality, and for the first time I've got to listen to somebody else and not just myself. We're all really upset about this; we've had such a great relationship with our UK fans. We were really looking forward to this tour."

The Blackout covering Fat Lip on the Kerrang Tour

I think that's really awesome that they're covering it. Do you think they did it because The Sums had to drop off the lineup? Or they were already planning to? (I've read the lead singer is a fan of Sum 41)

Edit: There's a lot of negative comments left on another video I mean, I don't see anything wrong with them covering Fat Lip. It's not their fault that Sum 41 had to cancel the dates.

First of, The Blackout wouldn't have been there if The Sums didn't cancel. Second, there's no way that the supporting band would cover a song that they know the headliner will play. I mean, sure they could cover March Of The Dogs or Handle This or any other song that Sums wouldn't play, but playing their biggest hit right before them would be more like a slap in the face than a cool thing to do.

Also, I was very much expecting them to play a Sum 41 song.
And do they have two vocalists? Or why is there two guys singing with no instruments to play?

Not sure what you mean by that second point because they wouldn't even of been in the lineup with Sum 41 but all I was saying was it wasn't a bad idea. I think they wanted to do something for the Sum 41 fans that were let down. Apparently they enjoyed covering the song too, especially since their fans of the band.

I was answering to this question:

Well what did you mean with the "were they planning to"? Of course they weren't planning to play a Sum-song, since they weren't originally in the lineup. After they were included, it seemed natural that they'd play a Sum-song, afterall they were the replacements + one of the members is a fan. So of course they played the song because the Sums had to drop off.

My second point was for your second question. Since you were wondering if they planned to play it before, I assumed you didn't remember they weren't originally in the lineup, since otherwise that question wouldn't make sense. So my second point was to say that IF The Balckout was in the lineup originally, they wouldn't have planned to play Fat Lip if The Sums were going to play it afterall.

Did this not happen the last time Sum 41 cancelled some shows Someone had covered Fat Lip? i would assume they played it because Everyone wanted to see Sum 41 there

The replacement band playing Fat Lip for the Sum 41 fans is like dangling a steak in front of a rabid dog on a leash.

haha thats awsome!!

Being a fan of the Blackout and having seen them 5 times. I can say that this is not the first time I've seen them perform Fat Lip.

There are two singers in the band by the way. Old stuff one generally did the screams or at least what would be consider screams.

i thought it was pretty good ...

Yeah I think it's pretty good as well, better than 99% of covers. Plus the music isn't exactly their style either, they did a very good job.

The Blackout were awful last night, New found Glory and Letlive kileld it though.

Did they play this song? Got to be my favourite from them.

no, according to Setlist.fm they played:

Spoiler: show

I'm a Riot? You're a Fucking Riot!
Fat Lip (Sum 41 cover)
ShutTheFuckUppercut
Ambition Is Critical
It's High Tide Baby!
Never By Your Side
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Said and Done
The Storm
Children of the Night
Save Our Selves (The Warning)
Higher & Higher

Most of that is their shitty new stuff.
