On May 10, 2006, Dave Baksh , via a statement through management, announced that he was leaving Sum 41 to work with his new band, Brown Brigade , which has a more “classic metal” sound. Baksh cited “creative differences” as the reason for his departure, but claimed that he was still on good terms with the band. The next day, Whibley confirmed Baksh’s official departure and announced that the band would only replace him with a touring guitarist, who would not have any decision-making power in the band or be in videos, photo shoots, or albums. The band hired Gob frontman and guitarist Tom Thacker to replace Baksh.
