Yeah, I have never seen them live but judging from YouTube videos, he seems to be copying Billie's gestures and even facial expressions. It's weird and it kind of puts me off. He doesn't need to do that at all. If I wanted to see Billie, I'd go see Green Day.

It's cool though he is a nice guy and a great performer it's very natural to be influenced by a frontman that made you think "oh look he seems so cool on-stage" when you started playing.

That doesn't really surprise me, his Billie game is strong. What a fanboy Yes, it's ok I guess. I actually like Sum 41, so even though this aspect of Derryck's stage presence isn't that great imo, I think they're good. But they'd be even better if he didn't do that. Copying someone is understandable at the beginning but after so many years... he just doesn't have to do it.
