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.

Thanks to CSP, who found out about a brand new website called Flink, where writers can share their stories about various personalities, we’ve discovered a number of never seen before pictures of Simple Plan, due to the stories written by Julia Wallace on this website – see the page here.
The pictures included in these stories feature shots of the band from their early days up till the year 2012. I tried sorting some of these pictures into the proper albums, so you can now check out the gallery because many pictures have been added to the following albums: Centraide photoshoot from 2011 (finally a proper HQ picture from the “naked” photoshoot), Kerrang Awards 2011, backstage from Calgary Stampede (2012), Live 8 (2005), from MTV TRL Italy (2006), red carpet from MMVA 2006, Chuck and Seb visiting children in hospitals during Xmas 2011 and from the SPF benefit event with OSM (2011).
The rest of the pictures from the Flink page can be found here:
I definitely recommend checking out the whole Flink page, as not only it mentions SimplePlan.cz in one of the stories, but it also includes a number of never seen before videos of the band from backstage and also for example the behind the scenes of the This Song Saved My Life video shoot.
