The song This Song Saved My Life is probably the most special song both for Simple Plan, as well as for their fans. And as you can see, clearly Simple Plan want their fans to be a part of this song every step of the way: they were there when it was being written, recorded and now they will have a chance to be a part of a planned photo display during Simple Plan’s live performances.

So the guys came up with a little contest, which YOU can take a part of:

Go to the newly opened photo album on the band’s official website, add a picture of yourself – you can display what the song’s lyrics or how Simple Plan’s songs have saved your life – anything. The most important thing is for you to submit it in high quality, so that they can be used for the photo display. The guys will be choosing a few of them this week :)

So, make sure to participate! It doesn’t happen that often that you have a chance to be seen all over the world during Simple Plan’s live concerts :)

I’ve finally forced myself to add some new Simple Plan themed Photoshop brushes into the Download center. So now you can find there 3 new sets. The first one includes the symols from Simple Plan’s first album – No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls, the second set includes 48 brushes of the doodles from Get Your Heart On! and finally the last set includes brushes of all Simple Plan members’ signatures.

You can download all the brushes in the .abr (Photoshop) format below or along with all the old brushes in their section in the Download center. Enjoy:

Earlier this month, we’ve found out that Simple Plan are currently working on another DVD, that would be a sequel to the very successful A Big Package For You – Simple Plan’s last DVD, released back in 2003. Apart from that, rumour had it the guys were even considering releasing an EP with some unreleased tracks, that Simple Plan wrote in the process of making their last album, yet they didn’t make it through the cut – and since the guys wrote more than 60 songs for Get Your Heart On!, there were MANY leftovers!

In a recent interview (thanks to CSP for the info), Pierre addressed this matter again:

“I think it’ll be a DVD containing a material of the choice of our fans. If possible, we’ll also release some songs that we never released before, because we know our fans want more and more. If possible, we’ll make a mini-album with the DVD in the next tour and I hope we finish it soon.”

Simple Plan are having a marvellous time on their current tour across Asia and while the guys are kicking off the Japanese leg of the tour, let’s get back to the previous shows a bit and talk about the interviews the guys have made in the recent days.

You may have noticed I do not post many Simple Plan interviews here on SimplePlan.cz and rather focus on other stuff. One of the reasons why is that (as I’ve mentioned in my own interview with Simple Plan), the questions the reporters are asking the band just keep repeating themselves and therefore if you’re that kind of a fan who likes to keep track of all the interviews, after a while most of them start to seem repetitive and pointless.

So, instead, what I’m trying to do, is to show you those interviews that actually posess that certain spark that makes an interview either really good… or really bad – yes, I do believe even the slightly worse interviews tend to have a little spark and hilarity hidden somewhere deep inside (e.g. the legendary interview from Russia). :). As an exhibit A, feel free to compare the following two, which were done with Chuck and Sebastien in the last couple of days:

Simple Plan spent the last couple of days in Indonesia – particularly in the cities of Jakarta and Surabaya, where they played two shows and you can already check out some of the amazing photography from these concerts in the SimplePlan.cz’s galleryi:

Also, in case you don’t follow the last uploads of the gallery, I’d like to point out the collection of photos from the press conference in Jakarta and also the ones from an interview with Chuck and Seb, also from the day before yesterday in Jakarta:

Simple Plan continue to tour Asia and while they just finished their stay in Indonesia and are currently heading to Japan, Sim just posted a new vlog from this tour, particularly from Malaysia, where the guys performed in Kuala Lumpur a couple days ago. Don’t miss it!
