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.)

Sum 41’s Steve “Stevo” Jocz has directed the new music video for band 3OH!3.  Check out the video below and then check out the band’s MySpace page here.

Here’s the vidoe of Sum 41’s performance at the Muz TV Awards in Russia the other night.  Check it out:

waking up at 6 am always sucks. but it especially sucks when you get up at 6am and leave for the airport. we played our first, kind of show, in russia at the muz tv awards. lots of fun and vodka was had. i think tom and i maybe did a few too many shots before we went on stage. we had a great time here and can’t wait to come back and play a real show. thanks for everyone treating us so well here. see you next time.

thanks
