Breaking news: the guys are alright

You’ve probably been wondering for the past couple of weeks about how the guys from Simple Plan are doing? Well, their Stage Truck driver, Steve, actually asked them… and this is what they replied:

Here is a video in which Chuck, Pierre and Sebastien invite fans to see them at this event:

Simple Plan cover Blink 182 and Red Hot Chili Peppers at soundcheck in London, UK

Simple Plan (along with their opening band We The Kings) performed in London, UK last night for a completely sold-out HMV Forum.

Among the crowd was also Dan Hetherton, who you may remember as the drummer for Elliot Minor (a band that toured with SP in Europe four years ago), and who came to see his good old friends from Simple Plan. Dan himself later complimented SP when he tweeted: “Simple Plan were wicked as usual! Amazing live band.”

Make sure to check out the first pictures from this show in the gallery (thanks to Katie for some of them):

But one of the biggest surprises happened on the soundcheck before the show, when the guys from Simple Plan played two covers of Blink 182 – “All The Small Things” and “Family Reunion”, and then also from Red Hot Chili Peppers – the song “Suck My Kiss”. And to spice it all up a little bit, during these covers, Pierre was behind the drum set and while during “Suck My Kiss” David was singing, during “Family Reunion” Chuck was at the mic, singing… or well, rapping.

Thanks to Sophie, here is a video of the cover of “All The Small Things” (originally by Blink 182):
