Joel Madden makes a reference to a Simple Plan album at NRL grand final

AUTHOR: Dominika | 2. October 2012 | 2 comments

If any Simple Plan fans were watching the NRL Grand Final on September 30th (the final match of the 2012 NRL season in Australia – that’s rugby, guys), they may have spotted a little Simple Plan reference during the special feature with Joel and Benji Madden that aired right before their band Good Charlotte took the stage to entertain the crowd that gathered to see the premiership-deciding game.

During the feature (that you can watch here) at approximately 1:42 mark, Joel (who along with his band have been friends with Simple Plan for a very long time) clearly referenced Simple Plan’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls”, which is coincidentaly also the album that Joel’s vocals are featured in – on the song “You Don’t Mean Anything”.

Thanks to JetLagJoel, you can check out the little reference on the audio file below:

Joel Madden: “Let Simple Plan play at The Voice Australia!”

AUTHOR: Dominika | 1. June 2012 | no comments


Hearts of the fans who consider themselves both in the Simple Plan and the Good Charlotte fandom, got definitely on after seeing that during tonight, some of the members of these two bands will meet again.

Joel Madden (the lead singer of Good Charlotte) has been invited by his old friends from Simple Plan, for who he did some vocals on their track “You Don’t Mean Anything” many many years ago, to attend their concert in Sydney tonight, on June 1st. And let’s be honest – Simple Plan really do need a more up-to-date picture with Joel.

Mr. Madden has been residing in Australia for a while now, because of his new position as one of the main judges in the Australian version of the sining competition The Voice. And it was just The Voice, who interviewed three members of Simple Plan – Pierre, Jeff and David – today and took the new picture that you can see below. After Joel saw that his buddies were being interviewed for his show, he took to Twitter to reply to The Voice with the following message: “You guys should come Monday night!! Let them play on the show :)”

As of right now, Simple Plan do not have any official plans for Monday (June 4th), so there is a chance that their guest performance on The Voice might really happen. Let’s wait and see.

New Simple Plan album to feature collaborations!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 4. November 2010 | 2 comments

Two days ago, Jeff revealed a pretty surprising news on his Twitter: “Tomorrow, we’re gonna have a really special visitor at the studio. I know, I’m a tease but i can’t say who it is yet.” And as you will find out in the translated article below, Simple Plan are really planning special collaborations featured on the new album.

If it’s a singer type-of collaboration, it would be the second Simple Plan album to include voices of other people than the Simple Plan members: you could have noticed few featurings on SP’s debut album “No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls”, where Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus does vocals on “I’d Do Anything” and the voice of Joel Madden from Good Charlotte can be heard on “You Don’t Mean Anything”.

Check out the whole article (which has been posted on Cyberpresse.ca) revealing the news about collaborations on the upcoming album below:

New plans for Simple Plan

This exclusive photo of Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, Jeff Stinco was taken two days ago in the recording studio in Vancouver. The five members of Simple Plan are currently putting the finishing touches on their fourth album, which is due early 2011.

Chuck (drummer) told me that the group had not yet found the title for this album but he told me anyway, exclusively, some song-titles that you can find on this new album: You Suck at Love, Astronaut and This Song Saved My Life. To pique your curiosity even more, you should know that Simple Plan will welcome special guests and will present surprising collaborations. Before the release of the album, the band’s fans will have the chance to hear excerpts of the record on November 14th, while the group will be giving an acoustic concert at Club Sportif MAA on Peel Street in Montreal to benefit their Simple Plan Foundation. The tickets are $100 per person. The event is a brunch for the whole family, and certainly for many, a concert that is priceless!

Bamboozle Roadshow is over

AUTHOR: Dominika | 30. June 2010 | 2 comments

Three days ago the Bamboozle Roadshow, a tour across many American cities, which Simple Plan (along with other bands) was a part of, ended with a concert in Mansfield, OH. With the end of the tour, the guys made the last Bamboozle vlog, where they reveal their plans for the next few months: recording of the new album with few breaks for shows in Canada, China, Italy and Austria (about which we’ve informed you earlier):

The end of a tour usually brings some final surprises from the bands to the fans. And the Mansfield show wasn’t any different: during the last Good Charlotte’s show, Jack and Alex from All Time Low and Pierre from Simple Plan jumped on the stage to sing with Good Charlotte a part of their song “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”. And they all ended their performance with a group hug. Check out the video below:

By the way, I’ve got loads of awesome photos from the recent shows for you guys – I will try to upload them to the gallery hopefully during the rest of the day. So stay tuned!

Good Charlotte and All Time Low welcomed SP!

One of the positives about the Bamboozle Roadshow is that on one place you can spot many different bands, who know one another from previous tour or else. You may remember that in 2005 Simple Plan and Good Charlotte performed together at Asia Aid and then also did a whole tour together. The roads of these old friends have crossed again this year at the Bamboozle Roadshow, where Simple Plan joined Good Charlotte and other bands at the tour through US cities.

Simple Plan’s first show of the tour could not be ignored by Benji Madden from Good Charlotte, who took to his Twitter to say: “Watched Simple Plan today. They were great. Hear the Simple Plan classics was awesome! Welcome to the tour fellas!” Then he also invited the Simple Plan guys to join him at his bus the next day (today) and watch the World Cup together.

And it wasn’t just Good Charlotte, who was pleased to have Simple Plan on tour – the members of the american band All Time Low have been repeatedly tweeting the SP guys about how badly they wanted to tour with them – and their wish came true this summer! Furthermore, the first day that Simple Plan played at Bamboozle Roadshow, it was also Jack Barakat’s (All Time Low) birthday. During the Simple Plan show, he tweeted: “Watching Simple Plan. I feel like Pierre Bouvier is singing to me.” And Pierre confirmed that afterwards. :)

These (and more) bands will continue with their tour together at the Bamboozle Roadshow in the next few days, so hopefully we will soon have some videos and photos of the bands together.
