Members Bonoman Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Canadian singer Avril Lavigne is reportedly marrying a fellow songsmith. Us Weekly says the 20-year-old is engaged to marry Deryck Whibley, the frontman for the punk-pop group Sum 41. Lavigne, 20, began dating the 25-year-old musician in early 2004. They had been friends for several years before that, the magazine said. Whibley and Lavigne both hail from the same province in Canada -- Ontario -- and reportedly bought a home together in Los Angeles last year. Us Weekly reported that Whibley proposed over the weekend while Lavigne was finishing up the European leg of her tour. Publicists for both musicians confirmed the engagement to the magazine. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/28/people.lavigne.ap/index.html
Members fastplant Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 What is it about this guy? I don't get why he dates all these top celebrities. There's richer, better looking, non-whiney, not annoying guys these girls could be easily dating.

Members tdempsey Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 actually, I've heard that song once or twice. she doesn't like the guy to be complicated. I give it 18 months.
Members the_big_geez Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 Originally posted by B-Bottom ha ha nice thread title. Yeah. It made me want to post the 'Weird Al' lyrics for that song. So... 'A Complicated Song' Uh huh ... extra cheese Uh huh, uh huh ... save a piece for me Pizza party at your house I went just to check it out Nineteen extra larges What a shame No one came Just us eatin' all alone You said, "Take the pizza home" "No sense lettin' all this go to waste" So then I faced Pizza all day And every day This cheese 'round the clock Is gettin' me blocked And I sure don't care For irregularity Tell me Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated? 'Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated In the bathroom ... I sit and I wait and I strain And I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain Oh, should I take laxatives or have my colon irrigated? No no no I was feelin' pretty down 'Till my girlfriend came around We're just so alike in every way I gotta say In fact, I just thought I might Pop the question there that night I was kissing her so tenderly But woe is me Who would have guessed Her family crest I'd suddely spy Tattooed on her thigh And son-of-a-gun It's just like the one on me Tell me How was I supposed to know we were both related? Believe me, if I knew she was my cousin we never would have dated What to do now? Should I go ahead and propose And get hitched and have kids with eleven toes And move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated? No no no no no no no No no no no no no no No no no no no I had so much on my mind I thought maybe I'd unwind Try out that new roller coaster ride And the guide Said not to stand But that's a demand That I couldn't meet I got on my feet And stood up instead And knocked off my head, you see Tell me Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated? This really is a major inconvenience, oh man, I really hate it Such a drag, now ... Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore I can't belch or yodel anymore Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated Oh no Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated? (yeah, yeah) I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated What a bummer Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeeze But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated No no no

Members NeonVomit Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 I think the fact that she's 20 and engaged is more bizzare. And yeah, there's plenty of non-whiny guys for her to go off with. And I've heard that she doesnt actually write much of her own stuff (i could be wrong) so songsmith is a bit of an overcompliment.... Anyone else remember that annoying kid who invaded the Amp forum a few years back wishing to be a Sum 41 clone? One of the most intense clones in HC history methinks... the reason I mention this is because ever since then, Sum 41 have been totally tainted for me...
Members sunburstbasser Posted June 28, 2005 Members Posted June 28, 2005 That kid was sum41truepunk. What an asshole! "How do I get the distortion sound from Brown Sound, who we all love" or something was my favorite quote of his! As for being engaged, my best friend and his fiance live together downtown in their own house. He's 6 months younger than me, and she happens to be a month and a half older than him. 20 seems fine for me, especially since it isn't going to last. I gave it 17 months on eBassist!

From what I've heard, she does write almost all of her own stuff and is into the producing side of things as well. Apparently when she first got signed, she told the record company to {censored} off when they wanted to bring in writers. Pretty ballsy for a 16 year old Candian girl. Of course all of that could just be made up {censored} to make her seem harder core, after-all, she did first get noticed singing Shania stuff in a country band.

I think that she sets up the basics for the songs and then the instrumentation is mainly coordinated by someone who knows how to make stuff sound overly produced and overly slick. I read a quote where she said that creative control is a big struggle for her.

Members BEAD Posted June 29, 2005 Members Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by januaryscar or she might just be talented...? I'm not saying she isn't talented, but I doubt she's telling the session drummer how to play her song the way she wants him to. Call it a hunch.

Members VotaIdiota Posted June 29, 2005 Members Posted June 29, 2005 So I'm guessing she DIDN'T say "c u l8r boi."
