I absolutely loved Screaming Bloody Murder, and I saw you in June 2012 in Tilburg, the Netherlands, Live and I still think it to be one of the best concerts I've been to.

Do you know anything about the new album? can it be compared to any of your old material or is it all new? What can we expect?
It's kind of too soon to really say what the next record will sound like, I imagine it will be along the lines of Screaming Bloody Murder. I think we kind of found our own sound with that record.

Ya I normally work out of Metalworks or The Woodshed in Toronto for producing but in LA Sum 41 recorded at Capitol Studios for SBM and that was a cool place with a lot of history.

We're in Cone's living room. In our tighty whiteys

My first question is for you, Cone. Back in May, you mentioned finishing up work on new Operation M.D. material; how has the recording process been?

it's awesome playing with and producing other bands. I did a couple shows w Offspring last summer, that was pretty sweet.
Nothing really beats playing your own songs though. i can't wait to get SUM41 back on stage too!

Thats a really though one but since my early 20's I really got into The Clash so that band is probably up there. I also love David Bowie and Elliott Smith too but I love a lot of bands. Hard to pick 1.

Will you guys be doing any more video sitcoms in the future like Road to Ruin (maybe without all the heavy drinking now)? :)

I have 3 favorites. I have a 1962 re-issue P-Bass that I've used on every single Sum 41 album. That bass is amazing. Then I also have real 1961 P-Bass that sounds great and of coarse my white bass I play on tour is up there.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say hello. :)

And I want to thank you your works, your music, they really mean a lot to me. I feel lucky that I could see you on stage twice and I hope there'll be a third and more times, so I'm waiting in Hungary! :)

I think videos will always be a part of the band. Thats always been in the past so I don't think that will change.

Hey guys! Sum 41 played 2 times in Hungary and you said that they were amazing shows and really liked the country. I hope you guys planning to come back with a European tour. Did you guys try any special food or drink during your time in Hungary? :)
