One thing I still don't understand is, why everyone is blaming LA Reid for delaying AL. I know that most of us think that he brought up Martin to produce some Pop-songs, but why he HIMSELF said that he would like to release it at the end of 2012/beginning of 2013 and then delayed it again?? There were some rumours saying L.A. sent the "original" album (mostly consisted of "Tripod" songs) to some "music experts" from certain media (press, radio, etc) and they didn't like it and said there weren't any hits and that the album would flop or something like that. I think Avril (or L.A., I'm not sure) mentioned in some interview that she was sent to "create more magic" after the album was confirmed to be "finished" (by her and by L.A. like you said). He said he would like to release it at those dates, but something/someone changed his opinion and not he only delayed the album but also made Avril change it. And after that, they didn't give her enough (good) promotion since things were going well inside the label, and when things went a little better for them (A Great Big World blowing, Fifth Harmony slaying, etc) people had already forgotten about Avril and nobody outside her fanbase cared about the album anymore (and even inside her fanbase ). Things have gone well for them last years, after some changes in the label hierarchy and the influx of money that last MJs albums give them, along with some their artists having good sales and success. Hopefully they will support Avril in the future, not only with good promo but also by supporting her vision for future music/albums.

3. What was the cause of Avril's divorce with Deryck? Nobody will ever find out, we can only guess something went really wrong. Though "Goodbye Lullaby" is overall a lovelorn and introspective album, Avril didn't have much to offer us more about their divorce, since there is only one track that is actually about Deryck. On the other hand, as Deryck Whibley is an authentic rock artist who puts his emotions and experiences in every song he writes since the fourth album, Sum41's 5th album "Screaming Bloody Murder" is heavily influenced by their divorce. The darkest, most angst-ridden, most tragic and emotional album in Sum41's entire discography. Not a bit of humor. Obviously, it was not Deryck who wanted the divorce to happen. The second video "What am I to Say" is lyrically a farewell message to Avril. However, some of the other tracks in the album actually seem to connote some anger at Avril, along with his despair and self-diss. Especially "Holy Images of Lies." Deryck Whibley shows that he found peace, in the last track of this album. There's nothing left to say Cause you don't want to try And I don't want the pain There's nothing left to do Well I don't want the lies And you don't feel the same It's time to let you go And bow out of the game And maybe we will find The answers through the blame It's time for me to go It's time for me to go

From NE and Push it seems Avril was trying to salvage the relationship at first but it didn't work. And in NE it seems that she "wanted more" and he didn't give her what she needed, that is probably the most in depth we'll ever hear from her side. My guess was always that maybe they just grew apart and wanted different things.

I thought of another Avril mystery:
Why did the Avril TV videos just suddenly stop after only 6 episodes?

There have to be so much more we haven't seen that they planed to release. Maybe that could be Avrils next career move.. BTS of the tour ××××

Epic records could no longer afford it. :flopfan: I'm honestly not sure if that was really the reason or not. After all, Dipple is quite a good friend to Avril and has worked with her since TBDT era. She could have offered to pay him herself if that was the case. And I can't imagine it's all that expensive in the first to place to have a guy follow her around with a camera and edit some footage together. At least RCA was able to keep up WTH.TV for the whole GL era. That also reminds me of something else, speaking of Dipple- I don't know if any of you remember seeing paparazzi photos from around 2012 I think, it looked like Avril was walking into a store and she was wearing white AD leggings with lightening bolts, and we could see Dipple was filming her. We thought maybe it was for a commercial or something but we never got to see what it was. Perhaps it was supposed to be a commercial for the upcoming collection of AD that never came out, so they never released the commercial? Here's a couple pics:

Here's a couple pics: There was lots of paparazzi photos years ago with him and a camera... Most of the footage was never used for whatever reason. I wonder if he still travels with Avril, im sure he still does work with Sum 41.

Question: What album was Think About It written for? Question: When did she start letting other people do her makeup? In the early years, she said she didn't like people touching her face, so she did her own makeup. And, did she really plagiarize "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend"? Doesn't Gabe do her makeup?

Doesn't Gabe do her makeup? He does now, but at least during the LG era and maybe the UMS era too, Avril did her own makeup because she didn't like people touching her face. I guess over time she got more used to it. I was just wondering when she got used to other people doing her makeup.

I'm pretty sure that he is listed in TBDT album booklet as doing hair and makeup.

Remember the thanks she gave Dipple for recording behind the scenes of AL in the album booklet? That's missing, too

+YoursAgain I really miss Evan things really haven't been the same without him its like he knew her music the best and yeah its just hasn't been the same. He is a really cool guy and at one point I was excited for his albums but things didn't work out. If anyone deserves a break its him.
