It’s been just a couple of days since the first ever Czech show for All Time Low, who happen to have a lot in common with Simple Plan. First time they’ve met was at Bamboozle Roadshow, where they came up with the future collaboration of these two bands, which resulted in their lead singer, Alex Gaskarth, singing on Simple Plan’s song “Freaking Me Out” (on the Get Your Heart On! album) and the song Time Bomb (that was originally written by Pierre and Chuck for Simple Plan) – for the reason of “not sounding like a Simple Plan song” – offered to All Time Low, who took it, changed it here and there and released it on their album “Dirty Work”.
I asked Nixie from AllTimeLow.cz, who had the opportunity to interview All Time Low’s guitarist Jack Barakat before the Prague show, to ask about Time Bomb and their collaboration with Simple Plan, and here you can see the result (and also see it on the video at mark 2:50):
ATL.cz: We know you’re friends with Simple Plan and Time Bomb was originally their song. Did you change it a lot?
Jack: Yeah, we definitely changed it, just because we wanted to make it an All Time Low song. But it was kind of like an honor to the band that we grew up listening to and the fact that we kind of got to work with them was pretty awesome.
