Deryck Whibley, Steve Jocz, and Cone McCaslin aka Sum 41 were at the Hoodwinked Festival in New Jersey on May 1, where they covered all Metallica songs in a tribute.  Here is their cover of Metallica’s “Master of the Puppets”.  According to Deryck (Avril Lavigne’s husband), the band was “a little drunk” when they performed this at the end of the show in the pouring rain.  Sounds like a recipe for fun! (Video 1 here, Video 2 here.)

Here’s the third video of Sum 41 covering Metallica at the Hoodwinked Festival 2009, a part of the Bamboozled 2009 experience.  Video one can be found here and video two is here.  This one is the Metallica classic, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” so if you’re a fan of Deryck Whibley, Cone McCaslin, and Steve Jocz or of Metallica, then check this out, it’s a pretty good cover.

*Caution* Deryck uses a lot of foul language, so don’t play this at work!

Next up for Sum 41 is back to the studio recording their new album, due out later this year.

Here is the second video of Sum 41 covering Metallica at the Hoodwinked Festival on May 1 in New Jersey.  For the first video, click here.  This time, they did a cover song of a song that Metallica covered that was originally by Queen.  Can you follow that?  The song is called “Stone Cold Crazy”.  Check it out below:

Deryck posted a blog on Sum 41’s MySpace what this to say about the show in Nagoya, Japan on April 6, 2009:

JUST GOT OFF STAGE IN NAGOYA
we’ve played 3 shows in japan and all of them have been amazing! but tonight was something special. the crowd was great and after playing our first few shows in a year we’re back in as good of shape as ever on stage. the energy was awesome. nothing went wrong, which is rare. and we couldn’t have asked for better crowd. thank you nagoya!
