Chuck and Jeff discuss ‘Saturday’ as the “worst” Simple Plan song in a new interview

Our friends over at SPB finally released their own long-awaited interview with Chuck and Jeff from Simple Plan, that was filmed while the band paid a visit to Brazil with a NPNHJB anniversary tour earlier this year. Bruno from SPB decided to split the interview in 3 parts – one consisted of a game of facts about Brazil, in the second one was a “Who’s most likely to..” game and finally in the third part Bruno let the guys react to a number of tweets written by the members of the website’s team.

During the interview, the guys were asked which song they consider the worst Simple Plan song, to which Jeff immediately replied “Generation”, which can be found on Simple Plan’s self-titled record and was in fact the show-opener in 2008.

However, later on in the interview, the guys were shown a tweet from a fan taking a jab at Simple Plan for releasing the song ‘Saturday’ (‘Did Simple Plan really get together and say: ‘Hey guys, Saturday is such a great song!’ – because I can’t understand this.’ – @mariaclara_b) as an the first promo song for Taking One For The Team and after receiving quite a backlash, they opted not to have it featured on the actual record and pretty much not discuss it ever since. In the interview, both Chuck and Jeff agreed that it was a mistake and that Saturday might be the worst Simple Plan song and promised to perhaps one day reveal how the decision process about releasing this song came about.

Chuck: “That is the worst Simple Plan song.”
Jeff: “You know what? Before Generation – Saturday is the worst song.”
Chuck: “It’s a long story, one day we will explain what happened..”
Jeff: “Or not…”
Chuck: “I don’t think actually… the song doesn’t exist.”
Jeff: “.. It never happened.”
Chuck: “What song? I don’t know what Saturday is…”
Jeff: “It was sort of like a false start. And then you go back and do it again.”
Chuck: “It’s not on Spotify, so it doesn’t really exist.”
Jeff: “… we made sure it disappeared. “

If you need a reminder of Saturday, here you go, but after that make sure to check out the full interview with Chuck and Jeff for SPB below:

Simple Plan’s ‘Generation’ in the new promo of Survivor

Thanks to a couple of very observant fans, it has come to our attention that the American version of the ‘Survivor’ TV reality show that airs on CBS decided to use Simple Plan’s song ‘Generation’, from their self-titled album (2008), in the new promo for the show.

This new season of the show features two different tribes, each representing a different generation – millenials vs. generation X. Check out below how the creators of the show fittingly used Simple Plan’s ‘Generation’ in the promo:
