With the European tour starting in only 2 months, Alix and Kevin from Ghost Town, who will be opening for Simple Plan throughout the whole tour, met up with Chuck and Pierre recently and filmed a video for the upcoming tour. Check out the guys getting to know each other better and starting a prank war in the video below:
Simple Plan are finally heading to the finish line with the recording process of their upcoming fifth album “Taking One For The Team”. After their final recording session in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, some of the members are now putting the very final touches on their parts of the songs from the comfort of their home.
Last night on Instagram, Jeff shared a video captured by his daughter Maya, in which he can be seen recording overdubs at home for one of the new songs. Overdubbing is a technique used in audio recording, where a new music performance is being added to an already existing recording, therefore enhancing the sound of it.
This video will surely make those o you, who missed the guitars, very happy:
Check out this brand new vlog just posted on Simple Plan’s YouTube channel, which was recorded last week when all of Simple Plan were in Los Angeles, recording the final songs for their new album “Taking One For The Team” (coming out February 19th).
In this video, Jeff and David invite you to their upcoming European tour, that the band is heading out on in February and March 2016! Check it out – and make sure to get your tickets asap – some of the dates are already close to selling out!
Just a couple weeks ago, the members of Simple Plan joked in the following video from their rehearsals they filmed for the charitable 24h Tremblant event that hopefully there would be no injuries before the show. All that before Pierre started suffering from vocal haemorrhage, after which he was ordered a 3 week vocal rest and therefore could not sing at the event.
Luckily, the band has some great singer-friends, who offered to lend their hand to help out Simple Plan, who were left without a lead singer for the night, and joined them on the stage instead of Pierre. Simple Plan were firstly joined by Canadian singer Marie-Mai, who they normally sing “Jet Lag” with. This time around however, besides “Jet Lag”, Marie-Mai joined in on the lead vocals also on “Jump” and “This Song Saved My Life”.
After Marie-Mai, it was time for SP to invite one of their young friends/fans – Janick Thibault, who started as a YouTuber covering Simple Plan songs and now with his band Amasic often collaborates with SP on various events and even wrote a couple songs with Pierre and Chuck. Janick’s pop-punk voice allowed him to join SP on the songs “Shut Up”, “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You”, “Summer Paradise” (which he previously covered), “Boom” and “I’d Do Anything”.
Another act that replaced Pierre’s vocals for the night was Rémi Chassé, one of the finalists of the Canadian version of The Voice in 2014. Rémi lent his voice to two Simple Plan songs at 24h Tremblant – “Crazy” and “Welcome To My Life”.
The boys were then also helped by Bobby Bazini, a young Canadian singer, who recently even co-wrote songs with Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan. Bobby sang on two songs as well, performing SP’s new single “I Don’t Wanna Go To Bed” and the classic “I’m Just A Kid”.
And finally it wouldn’t be a proper Simple Plan show, if it didn’t end with “Perfect”. For the Simple Plan anthem, the band was joined by Jonas Tomalty, also known as just Jonas, who is the lead singer of the Canadian rock band “Jonas & The Massive Attraction”. Jonas also joined SP in the middle of the set for “Your Love Is A Lie”.
