Sum 41 threatened with deportation from the US

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley was apparently threatened with deportation from the US last week due to some of the lyrics on his band's new album.

Apparently an American journalist took offence to the lyrics of the track 'March Of The Dogs' from the band's new record 'Underclass Hero' and petitioned Congressâ€™s House Minority Leader to have Whibley and his band mates banned from the US.

"The reporter went to the House Minority Leader who tried to have me deported," explains Whibley. "He was trying to say I was threatening the president."

The offending lines are as follows: 'Ladies and gentlemen of the underclass / The president of the United States of America is dead... And now the president's dead / Because they blew off his head / No more neck to be red / I guess to heaven he fled'

Never mind threatening the president, Whibley should have been deported for his trite rhyme scheme.

Jesus Christ learn to spell you utter morons. There's no frigging word limit. Jeez, this kind of spelling is what's ruining the English Language. Although no doubt you illiterate dickweeds talk like that in the street. "ZOMFG, d00d howz r u? OMFG dat iz teh awzum" Shut up, go back to primary school and learn to spell.

Also, Sum41 are not thinking they are Green Day. n00b. They make music. They sell music. Awesome music. Which is better than Green Days. This album is equal to that of All Killer No Filler and Does This Look Infected.

Deportation Of Sum 41

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing i've heard all week. Does the American government really believe that a punk pop band is threatening the president. There's a billion and one problems with the U.S at the moment, yet they waste time by kicking out a punk band for having freedom of speech, pathetic.

Deportation Of Sum 41

Thanks to the Military Commisions Act of 2006, there is NO freedom of speech in the U.S. while the country is "at war". Look it up.

YOU'RE the tard. Just because Sum 41 could be better than Green Day, that doesn't mean they can't try to be Green Day. I happen to like Sum 41 better than Green Day, but from what I've heard from the new record, it sounds a lot like American Idiot and the track Holiday.

political records

is any else getting bored of all these rock bands making albums about the president i mean manson released holywood in 2001 then greenday released american idiot in 2004 then nine inch nails relesaed year zero in 2007 then smashing pumpkins released zeitgeist in 2007 and now these guys are doing 1. Cant rock musicians write about sumfing else i mean its great tht they have political views but sumtimes it feels like there trying to force feed you there liberal views and otha times i think there just doing it to sell records and make $$$ which makes them no worse than the capitilists they sing about. The 2 best political rock albums in my opinion r probly year zero and holy wood.

political records

Politics is an important part of everyone's life, like it or not, it affects everyone's life. Musicians have been writing political records for decades, even centuries, it is not something new, indeed the first recorded protest song was "The Cutty Wren" from the peasants' revolt of 1381. If you don't like their "liberal views" don't listen to it. As for them making some money out of selling records, this song isn't about capitalists, it's about a President who started an unjust, unlawful war. Suggested listening for political albums, check out any R.A.T.M., Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie and the Billy Holiday version"Strange Fruit".

true and i listen to ratm and 'strange fruit' is a beautiful song and everythink tht president bush has done is terrible but i just didnt expect a band like sum 41 to do it i mean i like them but iv never really seen them as a serious band with a message.... and freedom of speech is very important and i think its honourable of these bands tospeak out i just think if evry band does it itsjust going to be less meaningful

US news bias

Don't like the band much but they should be able to write about what they want to.

They only really like freedom of speach in the USA if your views are not contraversile. The News over there don't seem as free to report with a neutral point of view as they do in the rest of the West.

Has anybody seen Fox News over there, it is like a Sate run News network. Ha Ha Ha!

Posted by Watson | July 27, 2007 2:15 AM | Reply to this

Seriously

There's something wrong with society when that's all it takes for a plausible deportation. There's no evidence of an actual plot, there's no evidence of planning, and there's no evidence of encouraging an assassination. Hell, there's not even any discriminating details regarding the person that is spoken of.

I enjoy security, but, people need to lighten up a bit.

You should "give a fuk". As a close ally of the States, Britain is affected by the policies of the Moron in the White House. He is helping to create divisions in the world by antagonising already crazy fundamentalists. If Sum41 want to highlight certain matters then that is very welcome-politics affects us all. Punkvoter is a good website that reflects some of these arguments.

Oh come on now. If you people actually think this is possible, you are more retarded than the people in office.

#1. This is 1 stupid guy complaining to congress. Congress won't even listen to him. This will not go to the floor for a debate much less a vote.

#2. This whole article is retarded and is in no way news. "Sum 41 threatened with deportation from the US" Bullshit! Nobody threatened them. And they arn't even threatened by the retards complaints.

#3. The U.S. DOES care about freedom of speech. People have gotten away with MUCH MUCH worse in their lyrics. Just because some lame band from Canada wants to be Green Day. Like anyone REALLY cares what they say in their songs. No. It's just one stupid fucker complaining. And don't act like they don't have them where you live.

But honestly people. Have a little common sense and think about something. Don't go bashing something that you know nothing about.

Sum 41

They aren't trying to be like Green Day, they just have a similar sound. It's a style of music. They should be able to sing about the president being killed. He's not singing about killing him.

I've heard much worse and grotesque lyrics. I've heard metal bands have songs about sodomizing dead bodies. I'm surprised anyone would take offense to him singing about the president being killed. Plus he never specified the president(although it is pretty implied). Could be Lincoln for all we care? It's music, most people know when to take songs seriously and when it's a joke, the songs obviously meant to poke fun at the president.

Fucking political bullshit....

RAGE.

Rage against the Machine were never deported, were they? (If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, deal with it) Sum 41 wrote a political song, so what? People are writing them all the time. Just look at Anti-Nowhere League's So What(Metallica did an ace cover) I know that song was banned, but were the band members thrown out of the country? And after the amount of people Bush has killed, wouldn't it be good riddance if he did have his head blown off? He freaking deserves it. Rhetorical questions, man. You don't need to answer them.

omg

what is it with everyone saying that they're trying to be like greenday? greenday isn't the only band to get rich off of a political record. they're actually followers too.

if you pay atention to some other bands, they talk about the exact same thing. and where i'm from in canada, there are many political bands that talk about the president. and it's all politically incorrect. but the great thing about over here is, you're allowed to have freedom of speech, no matter what you support.

sum 41 is just expressing their right to freedom of speech. one stupid reporter isn't going to get them deported. it wouldn't be worth their time anyways, because they have bigger fish to fry.

it's not like deryck actually wants to kill the president. i've met sum 41 beforem and they're pretty decent guys. just like any average group of friends you'd see anywhere else. and they're extremely respectful and polite. nothing like what the media makes them out to be.

Stupid pop-punk twats.

Bye bye ♥

when Sex Pistols released god save the queen it was banned from release and being played for ages, Anti-Flag and Rage Against and fuck loads of bands have been releasing political songs for ages? and i'm not sure how people can call sum 41s music style depressing, especially march of the dogs, the song this article is on.

Oh and American twat that was insulting Canadians, go die.

All right. I love Sum 41 and I love Green Day. But the bands are just their own. Green Day is Green Day and Sum 41 is Sum 41. They're completely different. If you're gonna compare the two just cause they made political records close together, then shut up. Plenty of bands have made political records. Look at System of a Down or Rage Against the Machine. Those are the real political bands.

Other bands can say what they want. Eveyrone's entitled to their own opinion. America is not what it was. I'm not gonna go all preachy and yell at everyone who doesn't agree with me cause that's stupid, but America, without a doubt, has changed, and, I believe, for the worse. Sure Bush has not been the best president (by far), but he tried. He was cornered. Once again, I'm not gonna rant.

Sum 41 made a new record that sounds great (once again, in my opinion). Chuck was made because Dave Baksh wanted to make a heavier album. That's why he left cause he wanted to make music that was different. Underclass Hero is NOT a political recrod actually. Deryck said, "I asked myself all these questions and then just pulled up my own answers and started writing songs based on those themes...It's a deeply personal statement that reflects the confusion and frustration in modern society." This is his view on the world.

The song (March of the Dogs) is contraversial. It was the first new song that I heard, and I was surprised. It's not like any other Sum 41 song I've heard. The contraverisal lyrics are supposed to be "metaphorical" but the metaphor is a little lost with the graphic nature of the words. Nonetheless, Deryck issued a statement in Rolling Stone on May 4th, 2007. He knows it was taken the wrong way.

Come on, people. Let them be who they are.

And yeah, the original article is fuckin hilarious.

If anyone's actually read this entire thing, thank you.

I'm going to settle all of this right now...

1. Green Day and Sum 41 can't be compared. Green Day tried to make a political album called American and sold out in the process, where as Sum 41 has one political song on their new CD Underclass Hero. Not to Mention Green Day has terrible Lyrics and guitar music, and Sum 41 does not. Green Day tries to be serious most of the time, I've never seen a Sum 41 music video that hasn't made me laugh. And the fact that Underclass Hero is not a political album proves that Sum 41 is not trying to "be Green Day"

2. The American Government is stupid as hell. Whibley explained his lyrics in an interview a long time ago, and now they want to ban him? Metal bands like Behemoth have lyrics that say "Christians to the Lions" but the church isn't concerned about them.

3. To that one Sarah girl that keeps posting, you have no reason to hate Canadians, and American's don't think they're better than everyone else, I'm and American, i don't think I'm better than anyone else, the only thing i know for sure is that my Country's army could kick your Country's ass. But just because we have a strong Army, doesn't mean we all claim to be superior, we suck at soccer, you pry saw the world cup, we can't even win in basketball anymore.

4. Bush pry cut funding to schools that don't teach Creationism because all schools should. I attend a Christian school and i learned about evolution. In most cases abortion should be Illegal except for rare circumstances.

5. to whoever said that Sum 41 sells most of their records in the US, try Canada and Japan...

6. Most of you have terrible Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation. I may have made some mistakes because it's 4:30 AM but damn, didn't anyone ever teach you guys how to type?

7. Sum 41 is coming to Grand Rapids, MI in September, I plan on seeing them. Criticize if you want, but I can tear down any music you listen to without breaking a sweat.

omg this is insane. what about freedom of speech? i think george bush should be deported so long as he dont come here to the uk. and that news reporter. and the house minority leader. and also if ya deport sum 41 theyll have to deport a ton of other punk bands like green day, nofx, etc.

ok, first of all, what the hell does Sum 41 and Green Day being alike have to do with deportation? yes, their messeges are alike, and they both f*cking rock, but that's completely irrelevent to the matter at hand.

second, this is f*cking retarded. a reporter(which makes it even more stupid), is threatening to deport Sum 41, for a few lines in a song? there are about 100 million people(most likely more) who hate George Bush and say bad things, are you gonna deport them too? George Bush should get deported, and he should that reporter with him, just as long as they get out of the US and stay the hell out of Canada

It's just a song. they're not violating anything. according to the constitution, everyone has the freedom of speech. you can say all your opinions if you want. besides, it's not like they're gonna kill bastard Bush for real. And they're not the only ones who want George Bush out. They may be Canadians but that doesn't mean that they can't express their opinion.

Well, first of all, stop comparing them to Green Day, because Green Day now sucks since they've decided to jump on the political critiquing band wagon for the sole reason of popularity, and to make it worse they've attempted writing shitty 'rock operas'. If you're going to compare them to a band that writes about politics, and not just for popularity, try Anti-Flag, NOFX, Rise Against, Good Riddance, etc.

Second of all, Sum 41 has been critiquing politics for a couple of years, not just on 'Underclass Hero'. Go back and read some lyrics from 'Chuck' and 'Does This Look Infected?'. It's more subtle, but it's there. So you can't say they're trying to be Green Day, becuase Green Day sucks, and Sum 41's been doing it for awhile. Get your facts straight.

Finally, the fact that they've been threatened with deporatation for this is pretty outraging, since the right to do what they're doing is the first thing in our Constitution. The first amendment gives the right to offend, so that reporter needs to suck it up and quit being a bitch. Oh, and Sum 41 are residents of the US, they're just originally from Canada.

Sum 41 being theatened with deporation

greenyday are first so not as good as sum 41. sum41 rock. if any1 trys to deport sum 41 i will throw a BIG tantrum. Sum 41 are trying to get a message across to every1 . Sum 41 are right aswell it really doesn't matter what country you are in either. just because they used the title president makes no difference. Lot's of countrys have a president. but that doesnt mean tht those countrys are deporting them or banning them 2. music is a way of expressing yourself. the lyrics were not that bad anyway. besides it sounds like a what if song anyway. americans are offended coz it's like you can call yourself ugly and fat but no1 else can or you bog flush them or duff em up. They can call bush a fuckwit but no1 else can . it is simple . LEAVE SUM 41 BLOODY ALONE STUPID REPORTER.
