If you follow the YouTube community at least a little bit, you might be aware of the so-called ‘YouTube Play Buttons’, which are awarded to original YouTube creators, who surpass a certain amount of subscribers on their channels. The YouTube Play Buttons are metal plaques with the creator’s YouTube username engraved on them and they are considered one of the most prestigious accomplishments on YouTube. As of right now, there are four main types of the Play Buttons: Silver (100 000 subscribers), Gold (1 000 000 subscribers), Diamond (10 000 000 subscribers) and Custom (over 50 000 000 subscribers).
And it’s not just your favorite YouTubers that get to receive these kinds of material acknowledgements from YouTube – it’s bands too! And Simple Plan have now become one of these awarded bands by receiving the YouTube Gold Play Button today for recently surpassing 1 million subscribers!
Check out the unboxing video Chuck made when receiving this honorable plaque below:
Back in January we informed you that Pierre recently joined YouTubers Elton Castee and Scotty Sire in a videoshoot for a new song, written by Castee. And not only that – Pierre also got to be featured in the song as well! The shoot took place at a special event, held by these YouTubers, in which they attempted to break 10 Guiness World Records, which they eventually managed to do.
During this event, the participants managed to break the following records: Most bicycle tailwhips in one minute, Most bicycle supermans in one minute, Most bicycle no-foot can-cans in one minute, Most bicycle backlips in one minute, Most bicycle 360 tabletops in one minute, Largest gathering of people dressed as dinosaurs, Most nationalities kissed in one minute, Most nationalities in a group hug, Most nationalities in a dance party and Most nationalities in a conga line. Pierre Bouvier also became part of a number of these world records.
Soon, we can also look forward to the making of this music video, but until then, check out the video for ‘The Fun In Life’ by Elton Castee feat. Pierre Bouvier and Scotty Sire below:

Elton Castee – The Fun In Life (feat. Pierre Bouvier & Scotty Sire)
Simple Plan
Scotty Sire
It’s Eltee
Hot boys, you ready?
What?
Sunday!
Check it out!
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
Used to be the kid on the back of the bus
Everybody looked at me and never gave a fuck
So what?
Cause now I’m here to make a statement
The road you follow doesn’t have to be pavement
Go out without doubt
Make your own path
Never focus on the problems
It’s no simple math
Be of square
Stick to your roots
No equation
You’ve got nothing to prove
25 185
About how many days we have alive
Take every single one and make it count
???
Gonna get a drink from the fountain of youth
That’s just the truth
But one thing I’ve learned
I’ll break the news
Chase your dreams
But never run out of breath
Make Earth your stage
Your performance’s gotta be your best
Five yourself
Love yourself
Pass it on
If life is a show
Make this your theme song
Take chances
Don’t ever think twice
Mistakes are made
That’s the fun in life
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
I’ve been ???
Broken hope, broken heart
???
When I realized something
What doesn’t kill you doesn’t matter
With each defeat I grow, I become happier
I used to do tricks on command
Roll over
But then I realized my potential’s supernova
Legacy is not the ??? who knows ya
Over 2 million to witness Jehovah
Keep my head up high
You’ll only see the bright side
Progress is my bull’s eye
I’ll breathe that till I die
Sorry
Take a risk, it’s a part of the game
And I only pass go in the left lane
Keep this track and repeat
Like it’s your heartbeat
Sing it from the ski
To roofs of Wall Street
Black will never feel complete
If it’s treated like a worksheet
Happy ever after is the only true ???
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
Remember
Perfection is a fantasy
Take my hands – come and dance with me
The whole world is watching
But we ain’t, we ain’t, we ain’t ever stoppin’
Remember
Perfection is a fantasy
Take my hands – come and dance with me
The whole world is watching
But we ain’t, we ain’t, we ain’t ever stoppin’
We ain’t, we ain’t, we ain’t ever stoppin’
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
Not every day is gonna be a good day
Not everything is gonna go your way
It’s all about the way you think
Rise from your past
And don’t sink
We ain’t, we ain’t, we ain’t ever stoppin’
(Not everything is gonna go your way)
We ain’t, we ain’t, we ain’t ever stoppin’
A very big and exciting event took place yesterday at Tempest Freerunning in Hawthorne, California, where YouTubers Elton Castee, Scotty Sire and other known faces from their TFIL (The Fuck It List) YouTube channel, were joined by hundreds of people in order to break a number of Guinness world records together. Some of these world records attempts included XGames Gold Medalists doing 24 backflips in a minute and parkour & slackline athletes breaking other records, most people in dinosaur costumes at one place, world’s largest ball pit, most nationalities together record and others.
One of the special guests of this event was also Simple Plan’s lead singer Pierre Bouvier, who first met Elton Castee at Warped Tour last year, where SP even had this YouTuber join them on stage during I’m Just A Kid. This time however, the table have turned and it was Pierre who joined Elton and Scotty in the song “The Fun In Life”, which was performed during the largest ball pit attempt and he also appeared in the dinosaur costumes bit.
The whole music video filmed at the event should be released at the TFIL YouTube channel on February 11th.
And while we wait for the video and some more words on which of the world records were actually accomplished yesterday, below you can check out a couple of videos posted by various attendees of yesterday’s event to give you a little insight into what we can expect from the upcoming Elton Castee/Scotty Sire/Pierre Bouvier music video:
Popular American YouTuber Elton Castee, who can pride himself on 1.8 million subscribers on his TFIL YouTube channel, recently published his long-awaited vlog from Warped Tour in Orlando, FL, where he got to perform with Simple Plan alongside Set It Off’s Cody Carson and Story Untold’s Janick Thibault during ‘I’m Just A Kid’ [we’ve already reported on these special on-stage appearances in this article].
In one of his latest vlogs that he released this week, Elton share the story of how he asked Simple Plan if he could be a part of their ‘I’m Just A Kid’ thing they have been doing throughout all of Warped Tour, where Chuck and Pierre switch their roles and while Chuck crowdsurfs in the crowd and Pierre drums, a number of their singer friends are invited on the stage to finish the song with a microphone in their hand.
What’s amazing is that the video Elton posted has already been viewed over 80 000 times in just 2 days since its original upload. Check it out for yourself to see Simple Plan’s special I’m Just A Kid moment from a little different point of view:
Over the course of years, the title ‘Perfect’ has been given to tons of songs, that eventually became major successes – whether it was One Direction, Alanis Morissette, Hedley, Marianas Trench, our very own Simple Plan or more recently Ed Sheeran. As luck would have it, some of these ‘Perfect’ songs match together way more than others, and the latest cover by Kenny Holland is a perfect example of that.
Kenny Holland, a popular YouTuber and musician, who reaches almost 300 000 subscribers on YouTuber, recently released a mashup cover with his sister London (who have formed a duo called ‘Ash & Ember’), in which he took Simple Plan’s song ‘Perfect’ from 2002 and Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’ from 2017 and seamlessly merged them together.
Check out this beautiful cover below and let us know what you think!
