Make sure to check out the gallery because plenty of new pictures from last week’s highlight: the reunion of the original members of Reset, the band that preceeded Simple Plan, at Amnesia Rockfest is now available – big thanks to Mymie and 99scenes.com
And finally, something many of you have been waiting for – a video of Reset’s probably most famoust and beloved track – “My Dream And I” live at Amnesia Rockfest – courtesy of Mymie (thank you very much!):
Here’s the first almost full video of one of the songs that the original line-up of Reset (featuring Simple Plan’s Pierre, David and Chuck) played in Montebello, QC at the Amnesia Rockfest festival on Friday – it’s the song Pollution which wasn’t even featured on the previously posted setlist, but obviously the band played it during their set. Check it out:
Another video that already appeared on YouTube captures one of Reset’s most famous songs – Why:
99scenes.com released the setlists of many bands that performed at Amnesia Rockfest yesterday – including Reset who performed with the original line-up including three members of Simple Plan – Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier and David Desrosiers [see first pictures from the show here]. Check out which songs they chose to perform:
The visitors of last night’s first day of the Amnesia Rockfest festival in Montebello, QC were lucky to witness not only great performances of bands like Blink-182 or Weezer but also an extremely rare and special reunion of the original members of the band Reset. Reset was a band that started off in the early 90s with some of Simple Plan’s current members – Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau, who were joined by their high school friend Phil Jolicoeur, and later on also by JS Bolieau. After one released record and after many disagreements with Pierre, Chuck left the band. It didn’t take very long until Pierre was fed up with the band too and left it as well and was replaced with David Desrosiers, who later on deserted to the newly formed Simple Plan.
While Reset still continues playing to this day (of course with a whole different line-up – but with Phil being the only original member left), the original members decided for the most unique reunion as for the first time it was not only Chuck and Pierre, but also David, who’s never played Reset songs live with his Simple Plan bandmates and with Phil by his side.
In the gallery you can already have a look at some of the first pictures from the Reset reunion that already appeared online – both from the concert and backstage. As you can see it was not only the Reset members who appeared at show, but some of their old friends from the Reset times came to cheer them on – such as Fred Jerome and Patrick Langlois.
In two days, the former members of Reset will be reuniting for a unique show at Amnesia Rockfest, and that means it will be the first time ever David, Chuck, Pierre and Phil will play the Reset songs together in this line-up! To make sure they are ready to rock their old hits, these four guys got together today to practice and Simple Plan’s sound engineer Frank Joly was there to help with the sound and also to document it via Instagram. Check out the first picture from the Reset practice below, in which you can spot (from left to right) David, Pierre, Phil and Chuck:
