Music Video of the Day: Waiting On A Twist of Fate by Sum 41 (2024, dir by Ravi Dahr)


The graffiti on the wall reads, “Capitalism sucks,” so I can only assume that this song and Sum 41’s Heaven :x: Hell will both be given away for free at some point in the near future.  (The irony of being anti-capitalism while paying homage to the Ramones will probably be missed by most of the people who watch this video.)

That said, this music video deserve some major credit for bringing some chaos to the punk rock museum.  Punk rock was never meant to be mainstream but somehow, that is what it has become.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: What We’re All About by Sum 41 (2002, directed by Marc Klasfeld)


In this song from the soundtrack of the 2002 Spider-Man film, Sum 41 plays upside down, in the best tradition of Spider-Man fans everywhere.  Along with keeping an eye out for clips from the film, also watch out for Slayer’s Kerry King, who shows up to remind everyone what rock is all about.  As someone who grew up with an MTV that played music, I miss the music videos that always used to be released to promote movies.  I always enjoyed the mix of performance footage with the most kinetic scenes from the movie.

This music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld, who has directed music videos for literally everyone.  Don’t even think about becoming a rock star if you can’t get Marc Klasfeld to direct at least one music video for you.

Enjoy!
