Amazon.ca, one of the retailers of the Simple Plan book, recently published the image of the front and the back side of the cover of the French edition of Simple Plan: The Official Story.
You can see the full version of it in the gallery:
As promised, Simple Plan have released the first preview of the insides of the Simple Plan book: two pages about Roach. What is Roach, you say? Roach was the name of the band that Pierre, Chuck and one of their friends were in from 1993 to 1995 – therefore even before Reset was formed. Due to the fact that Simple Plan have mentioned Roach only in a very few interviews in the past (and mostly very vaguely), this double-page will most definitely be one of the most treasured in the whole book as it shows the fans a never-heard-before part of the story.
Here is the first preview of the book:
After a day of wondering what song will be used in the music video produced by MTV EXIT and Simple Plan, we might have just gotten our answer!
Although neither of the parties has yet confirmed it officially, there is a post on the MTV EXIT blog that was made today and that says “LOW RES 003 SIMPLE PLAN TSSML MTV EXIT 16×9” and we all know what TSSML has always stood for: This Song Saved My Life.
However, it is yet unknown whether the song is the band’s actual new single or if it’s only used as a background for this video.
Simple Plan and MTV EXIT will be premiering the music video for it tomorrow, on Friday, November 2nd – and here you can check out another promo poster for this special premiere, revealed by MTV EXIT, that features a clapperboard with the title “A Simple Plan” and Ash Bolland stated as the director.
Ever since the news about Simple Plan and MTV EXIT (charity organisation that deals with spreading the word about the problem of human trafficking) planning to release an exclusive music video this Friday, November 2nd, was revealed, lots of you have been trying to figure out which song Simple Plan might have chosen for this project and whether it’s going to be the next single.
Although we still don’t know the answer to that, what we do know (thanks to Anna who pointed it out to me), according to the tweet posted in August by a MTV EXIT representative Rebecca, the location where the video was made is Sydney, Australia (co-incidentally the same place that Simple Plan headed to right after their visit of Vietnam where they met up with MTV EXIT for the first time). Although SP were not in Australia when the tweet was posted, so it’s quite possible that the parts filmed in Sydney are the ones not including the band.

While in Vietnam earlier this year, where the band played a free benefit concert in Hanoi for more than 40 000 people, the next day, Simple Plan filmed a special documentary about human trafficking in this region for MTV EXIT.
The documentary already aired a couple times on MTV Asia, but so far the rest of the world was unable to watch it.
Now MTV EXIT has finally come with some news regarding the documentary! According to their Twitter, they plan on premiering this Simple Plan special by the end of this year on the Internet and also, there will be a special Simple Plan & MTV EXIT announcement coming this Friday!
Update: MTV EXIT has just revealed a promo poster for the special announcement, saying that on Friday, November 2nd, Simple Plan and MTV EXIT will be premiering an exclusive music video! You can check out a sneak peak of the screencaps from it below:
