The same year we’re celebrating 15 years since the release of Simple Plan’s debut album, we also celebrate another great anniversary: 13 years since the release of their second studio record – ‘Still Not Getting Any’, which came out on this day, October 26th 2004!
Still Not Getting Any has made a very significant mark in the lives of both the band and its fans. It brought us hits such as ‘Shut Up’, ‘Jump’ or ‘Welcome To My Life’, which we can still hear everytime we see Simple Plan live, as they are almost never missing from any setlist. On this record, Simple Plan proved that they are more than capable of writing and recording a fantastically successful studio album in just 6 months – and all that with the help of the producer Bob Rock.
To remind ourselves of this day a bit more, we went into the depths of the Internet again to find the band’s official message to fans on the release date of ‘Still Not Getting Any’ 13 years ago. Check it out below:
It’s an honor and a blessing to even get the chance to record another album but to have so many people care about it, to have so many people waiting for it, is simply surreal. We know how many of you check out this very website everyday and it is a privilege to count you as fans. Thank you for checking the site every day, thank you for coming to our shows, thank you for representing SP and wearing our shirts, thank you for checking out our new record!
Most of all, thank you for caring about our band and our music! We poured our hearts and soul into making this album and today is the day you get to hear the result. We truly hope you will enjoy our new songs and that this new record will be everything you’ve been expecting. Once again, thanks for all your amazing support.”
