It is always nice to hear what other artists have to say about your favourite band. And if that favourite band happens to be Simple Plan, you’ve come to the right place to find out what others think of them!

Marianas Trench, Canadian band that toured with Simple Plan in the US (2011) and Canada (2012), has recently been responding to a couple of fans’ questions through their official Twitter account. And one of the questions in particular was very interesting to our fandom – “What do you think of Simple Plan?”. The guys from Marianas Trench responded very positively, by saying: “Nicest, most professional band we’ve met. Great role models for any band.”

Simple Plan’s lead singer Pierre Bouvier has finally reached 200 000 followers on Twitter today and as promised, has finally released the long-awaited video. Make sure to check it out what “Pierre’s Day Off” looks like:

Today, Sebastien has finally reached the amazing line of 100 000 followers on Twitter, and as he decided to thank his fans by releasing a new video that he has recorded in the course of the last couple of days during the European tour. Any introduction is really unnecessary, just do yourself a favour and check it out:

By the way, Pierre also promises a cool video when he reached 200 000 followers on Twitter – and he’s almost there, so go help him and start following him on Twitter – @pierrebouvier.

First, I’d like to deeply apologize for the fact that the website wasn’t working over the weekend. Everything is back up and alright again and we can get back to updating!

As you already know from the previous updates, Simple Plan are currently recording another music video for their current single “Summer Paradise”. After yesterday’s 14 hours long shoot on Barbados, Simple Plan started the second day (out of three in total) very early in the morning today.

It has also been confirmed that the rapper Sean Paul, who sings on the new version of “Summer Paradise” is present on the videoshoot, so we should be expecting him in the music video.

Below you can read Jeff’s tweet from this morning:

4:45am pick up for videoshoot. Simple Plan in the sunrise. btw, @duttypaul was awesome last night! “Quick Time, Quick Time girl”!

The last time I mentioned that the members of the Canadian band Faber Drive (who you may remember as one of Simple Plan’s opening bands on their Canadian tour in 2008) were meeting Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan in order to write together some more lyrics for Faber Drive’s new record was last December.

Pierre and Chuck had already worked on Faber Drive’s second album – Can’t Keep A Secret – on songs “Our Last Goodbye” and “G-Get up and dance!” before, so this was not the first time they hung out with Faber and the rest of the gang as songwriters.

Now to the exciting stuff – Faber Drive will be releasing their third album in just a couple of months and on March 13th their first single called “Do It In Hollywood” is coming out – which is also one of the songs that Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan co-wrote.

Faber Drive’s drummer Andrew Stricko mentioned this song on Twitter a few days ago:

Just heard the final mix of our new single. You’re all gonna shit your pants! Special thank yous to @pierrebouvier & @chuckcomeau

Now you can also check out a one-minute-long sneak peak of “Do It In Hollywood” below:

Today, Chuck teased his fans on Twitter with a very mysterious new message, saying: “This morning Pierre Bouvier and I had to get up at 5:30am to Skype with a secret guest from a secret location for a secret project.”

So, the biggest question now is: what exactly are the Simple Plan guys up to?

Judging by the fact the guys had to get up super-early for the Skype call, we can assume that the mysterious guest probably isn’t from anywhere near their time-zone, which leaves us with Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Could this be about some possible new collaboration? Or something about the upcoming EP or DVD? Or perhaps even some secret show somewhere on the Earth?

Let’s hope we’ll get all these questions answered soon. What are your guesses?

Pierre also mentioned the secret project in one of his tweets from last night, when he wrote: “Working on 2 exciting projects right now!!! Both of which I can’t speak of just yet… Fun stuff! Can’t wait to fill you all in!”

So it looks like we not only have one, but two secret projects that the guys are working on and we can look forward to. Let us know about YOUR ideas on what these secret projects could be about!
