Chuck Comeau is still in Los Angeles, where him and Pierre are working on some new songs for the upcoming Simple Plan EP (coming out in 2013) and perhaps even for the new album. And while in LA, he decided to catch up with some old friends yesterday – Joel and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte – in their studio (for the full picture, check out the gallery)!
Simple Plan and Good Charlotte have been very close ever since the early beginnings of Simple Plan. After touring for a bit, Joel Madden (lead singer for Good Charlotte) lent his voice to You Don’t Mean Anything on Simple Plan’s debut album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002). Later on, the bands’ paths crossed again in 2005 when they literally played on one stage together at MTV Asia Aid (“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous / Shut Up!”) and later that year toured together on the “Noise to the World” tour in the US. The bands met up again in 2010 on the Bamboozle Road Show in the US and also casually met up with Joel Madden in Australia last year.
The question is: does Chuck hanging out with the Madden twins in the studio mean just that or is there something more to it? Could there be another SP x GC collaboration in works? Now that’s something to ponder.
What do you guys think?
I certainly hope so! but quite unlikely.. because GC are broken right now.. they havent said anything about getting back together u.u
Personally, I don’t really like GC new style. I’m against that believe of not letting artist change, but I think they are so far away from what they were at the beginning… it seems forced to me.
I really hope:
1) They met just to hang out or
2) Chuck is making a colaboration FOR them, I think it would be great
