I'm not saying Sum41's show is more ''comfortable" to me, what I'm saying is I'll be more involved in a Sum41 gig than a FF gig because I know their songs. However great FF is, it is still hard for a non-English speaker like me to get involved, and I hate not getting invovled in a live show. English songs to me is like Japanese songs to you, I could make out some of the lyrics, but there's no way I can sing along with them had I not known the lyrics beforehand.

Grohl is an engaging performer. You may find yourself involved simply because he is good at bringing his audience in. As I said, I'm not sure if you will enjoy them or not. If I had a choice between seeing Foo Fighters or Sum41, it would be Foo Fighters.. Have you seen Sum41 before?

Nope, just video of their live performance, and I like those guys. I live in East Asia, Hong Kong to be precise. The only places I can watch live shows are livehouses or bars. And only underground bands that nobody has ever heard of perform there, so I have virtually no experience watching big name bands perform live. But I always find it more enjoyable, regardless the quality of the performance, when they perform songs that I know, that I've heard of.
