In a new video that aired on a Belgian TV station Jim and was recorded at the Groezrock festival, you can see a few shots of Simple Plan’s show there and also a short interview with Jeff and David, in which you’ll find out what has Jeff ever refused to sign, and also if the guys ever considered (just like many of their fans have) getting a band-related tattoo.

Check out the recording of this interview below thanks to Nath:

Yesterday, Simple Plan kicked off their mini-tour across France with a show at a festival called Les Artefacts, which takes place in Strasbourg, France. Apart from SP, for that day the festival also offered acts like Pony Pony Run Run or We The Kings, and most importantly the headliner – Skrillex. David Desrosiers from Simple Plan hung out with him a little bit in the backstage before the show and also managed to snap a picture of the two of them:

And in the gallery you can also already check out the first images from Simple Plan’s performance at the Les Artefacts festival in Strasbourg:

On the soundcheck in Vienna, Austria, I was able to get little shout-out videos from Pierre and David for SimplePlan.cz, in which the guys also mention the Prague City Festival that they’ll be playing at in the Czech Republic this coming June. Check them out:

As you probably all know by now, David Desrosiers is a huge fan of drums. It might even be his favourite instrument to play! That’s why we’ve already seen him behind the drums for example on many The New Cities’ concerts in Canada (during “Looks Minus Substance”).

This time around, on the last show of Simple Plan’s Canadian tour – in Shawinigan – the boys from Marianas Trench invited David to play drums during their set – particularly during the song “All To Myself”. From what Janie has told us, David learned the song in only 2 hours before performing it live.

That’s pretty remarkable!

Also, thanks to Janie you can now check out pictures from this special occasion in the gallery and also a video below:

On their recent concert in Halifax, Canada, Zack Merrick, the bassist of All Time Low, joined Simple Plan on stage in the middle of I’d Do Anything, got his hands on David Desrosiers’ bass and played the rest of the song, while David had a chance to freely crowdsurf and sing his heart out.

Mind you, that was not the first time that a member of All Time Low “crashed” a Simple Plan show: the lead singer Alex Gaskarth can be found singing his parts on Freaking Me Out on the current Canadian tour and guitarist Jack Barakat likes to dress in red spandex and show his moves on stage during Simple Plan’s party medley.

On the left side of this post you can check out a picture of David and Zack hugging on stage – this and more pictures from Halifax can be found in the gallery.

And make sure to check out the whole performance of I’d Do Anything that features mr. Merrick in the video below:

For the past few weeks, the guys from Simple Plan have been giving away little hints here and there to what the secret project they are working on is, but they still haven’t given us any exact details.

From the last webchat we know that it should be some sort of a new secret collaboration, and that it will have something to do with their new single, which is Summer Paradise.

Another clue that the guys gave away – or at least according to David – was during the interview for The Sonic Nation when at mark 10:35, David says:

“Someone’s joining the SP club!”

According to David, the interviewer didn’t get the clue. I’d have a couple of ideas… but how about you? :)

I definitely recommend for you to check out the whole interview with The Sonic Nation:
