Review: Sum41 at the Uptown Amphitheater at the NC Music Factory



Starting Story
First how this all started. I had been talking to Cone on myspace about him donating some bass pics to FC. After I told him I was going to the NC show, he offered to give them to me then. Cone got me in contact with their tour manager Kenny and we worked everything out.

Pre-Show
We got there about 4 hours before sound check and met up with Kenny. We hung out in a smaller venue at the Music Factory. The guys were getting breakfast so we walked by Deryck, then saw Cone and Tom.

Sound Check
Kenny let us go on stage during sound check, you can actually hear everything a lot better..lol Cone came up to us before they started and said hello and everything. Deryck talked to us after.

The Show
Kenny let us watch the show from side stage. All I gotta say is INSANE! The crowed kinda sucked though, not many Sum fans. I as the only one using the Sum Salute. During the end of the show Cone was playing inches from me (hints the great shots)



Set List
Chuck Intro
Hell Song
We're All To Blame
In Too Deep
(Motivation)
King of Contradiction
Makes No Difference
Underclass Hero
Still Waiting
Fat Lip

I forgot to take a pic of the set list in the excitement. They ran out of time to play P4P

After the Show
Cone and Stevo came up and did the FC shoutout

Then we went to see the Offspring's donkeys..lol Stevo was like a kid in a candy store. Cone asked if I wanted to go watch the Offspring, so I watched the set behind stage beside Cone, that too was INSANE. Todd from OpMD was playing guitar for them, came over to talk to Cone about 3 times. We went back inside before the set was over and Deryck came out, took some pics with us, signed my "Best of Sum41" cover and talked a bit. He said they are "half way done" with the album. I told him to take his time and write the best he can write no matter the wait.

Since Kenny also works with Avril here are a few points
- Tour starts at the end of this year
- The record is sounding amazing (per derycks words as well)

HUGE HUGE THANKS TO:
Kenny, Cone, Deryck, Stevo, and Dan

haha, I think this is like my 5th proposal

and yeah I had a BLAST, really can't put it into words. Kenny was just super nice, him and the guys really made it all happen. Watching the set from that angle was just INSANE

[Dylan]

That's amazing! I'm wishing I was you right now.

[Hentaiman]

Wow sounds like you had a really really good time! I wish I could've done that!

[the perfect li e]

what's it like watching the show from the side? I mean I've been in the crowd and that's awsome, I just think I would enjoy the show more in the crowd then from the side.

it was cool that Deryck played a little something when he was throwing picks to the crowd.

[Heather]

well for me it was a lot better, cause I'm short and I wouldn't have been able to see anything in the crowd, Cone playing right beside me didn't hurt the situation either. this was my first Sum show so I can't really compare the two

[valderie]

that sounds like an AMAZING day! i wouldnt have been able to function at all, and so cool you got to watch from sidestage. i've never been up there for sum, but i have for other bands and i'm always just in awe of the crowd. your pictures blowww my mind haha

they didnt do P4P at NYC either, i was kinda pissed ngl.
