The boy got up early in the morning today to play another little acoustic set in Green Bay, Wisconsin – this time at the Fox 11 station, during the Good Day Wisconsin programme. In the gallery you can see a couple of pictures from the show and backstage:
And here (thanks to Lenka) you can check out Simple Plan’s full performance on Good Day Wisconsin:
Yesterday, after one canceled flight, the boys finally made it to Green Bay, WI (in the United States) where they were scheduled to perform an acoustic set and do a little meet&greet with their local fans at the WIXX radio. The only person missing there was (as usual per acoustic shows) Chuck, because as a drummer, he is really not very needed at these sort of shows. That of course didn’t stop the band from mentioning him at the stage here and there, mostly joking that he’s probably watching over them online anyway, judging the setlist and everything.
Here you can check out many pictures from this acoustic show and from the follow-up meet&greet:
Simple Plan played 5 songs in total: I’d Do Anything, Welcome To My Life, Addicted, Summer Paradise and Perfect.
Although between Addicted and Summer Paradise, they also did a very little cover of Sugar Ray’s “Under The Sun” and Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend”. I definitely reccomend you to listen to the audio (sorry, the video is missing) taken by Lenka as it features the whole acoustic performance. Although the sound is kind of poor during the songs, it’s very clear during the parts where the boys joke around, do the covers, answer the host’s questions and discuss everything from nobody understanding Sean Paul’s lyrics in Summer Paradise to the Olympic games’ opening ceremony. Make sure to check it out:.
Below you can check out the French version of the the music video for “Summer Paradise”, directed by Randall “RT” Thorne and Mark Staubach. The French version of the video includes not only the French version of the song, but also it includes some never-seen before footage from Barbados!
Thanks to Sab you can now check it out right here:
It has only yesterday come to my attention that for many months now, the radios in Canada have been playing a slightly different French version of Simple Plan’s song “Jet Lag” (feat. Marie-Mai) that we were used to (check the official music video). As mentioned in the post yesterday, the song is different only in a couple of lyrics, but still, if you don’t live in Canada and have not come across this version of the song yet, you can check it out below:
Coalition Music released another one of their episodes that feature various technicians, who talk about what their job is all about. This time the video shows us (for the 3rd time), Mr. Sean Maestri, who works as a backline technician (a guitar and drum tech) for Simple Plan. In this episode you’ll find out more about what equipment does a backline technician need for the show to go on.
