New York, September
29th 2002 - Sum 41 reunite with top director Marc Klasfeld
to shoot the video for "Still Waiting", the first
single from their highly anticipated new album "Does
This Look Infected?"
The video opens with a dumb record executive,
in his smart office, advising the guys that "bands with
numbers in their name are over" and that they need to
have a "the" at the beginning to stand any chance
of success. After doling out some other great tips, he decides
they should be called "The Sums".
Action then moves to a studio (eerily reminiscent
of that seen in The Strokes "Last Night" clip) where
we see the four boys, dressed in natty matching outfits, performing
"Still Waiting" in front of a huge illuminated sign
saying "The Sums". Naturally, this being Sum 41,
things do not exactly go according to plan.
Commenting on the video, Bizzy D said "When
we broke out a couple of years ago, there were about 8 other
pop punk bands that came out at the same time - now it's all
about The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes - so the joke is we
have to become 'The Sums' to compete. We're friends with all
those guys - it's not like we're making fun of them, we're
making fun of ourselves - like we're trying to be as cool
as them but failing."
"Still Waiting" is at radio now. "Does This
Look Infected?" will be released on November 25th and
follows the 3 million selling "All Killer No Filler"
