In the latest Fine Bros’ Entertainment’s React channel’s video, today’s teens were confronted with a bunch of pop punk songs from the early 2000s. And for the first time in the React channel’s history, Simple Plan were finally featured in this episode. Right as the first song the teens are supposed to guess, ‘Addicted’ by Simple Plan is played.
Did today’s teens manage to successfully guess the song or the artist? You can have a guess too – and then watch the full video below:
A long time coming has been tonight’s special episode of the new TV series Méchant Trip on APTN (Aboriginal Peoples Television Network), which follows Quebecois personalities being challenged to do things they have never done before. Back in April, it was announced that Jeff Stinco from Simple Plan would appear in one of the upcoming episodes.
In this episode, which was filmed almost a year ago, in August 2016, Jeff meets Ève Custeau Wiscutie, an 18-year-old girl from the Algonkian Indian tribe. Together they will try to climb a 12 meters high wall, after which Jeff invites her for a home-made poutine and the Simple Plan show at Acton Vale. The episode finally airs tonight, at 9:30pm EST on APTN.
Below, you can check out some new pictures from the filming of this episode:
And here’s finally the full trailer for Jeff’s upcoming episode of Méchant Trip:
Lately, Jeff has very frequently been posting videos of his guitar practice sessions on his Instagram, which showcase Simple Plan’s lead guitarist’s a little bit different side. These videos feature Jeff performing some classical music pieces, often by South American composers.
On the first video, Jeff was joined by his eldest daughter Maya (10), who supervised his rendition of “Água E Vinho” by Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti:
The second video, posted yesterday, was filmed by the lake where Jeff has been renovating a cabin of his for the past few months. In it, Jeff practices “Julia Florida” by Paraguayan composer, A. Barrios:
We’re kicking off the #1 No Pads special with this very rarely discussed No Pads era story was initially published in an interview for Idobi Radio back in October 2002. In June of that year, Simple Plan filmed their second music video ever – the now-classic ‘I’d Do Anything’, which features Mark Hoppus from Blink 182, who also laid his vocals on a part of this song. One of the reasons why Hoppus was available for filming was because the videoshoot took place in Cleveland, right in the midst of the Simple Plan, Green Day and Blink 182 ‘Pop Disaster tour’, so it was fairly easy to get him and the members of Simple Plan in one place at one time.
If you recall the scene in ‘I’d Do Anything’ that Mark Hoppus is in, the Blink 182 singer is sitting on a rugged couch in a junkyard filled with various old appliances. The prop coordinator decorated the set with a bunch of those to make the junkyard look genuine. However, before placing a particular antique television set, he apparently specifically urged Simple Plan not to touch it, probably assuming they are young and therefore reckless. And oh boy was he right!
David was aware that Mark did not hear the prop coordinator’s plea in between takes and jokingly dared him to break the TV. And you can probably imagine what happened next:

Last month, Simple Plan performed two shows in the United Kingdom – first their headlining show at London’s O2 Forum and then the Download Festival. On both days, the band has given out a number of interviews to local media and below you can now check out two of them, which were recently released – one for Gig Goer and the other one for TotalRock Radio featuring Chuck, Jeff and Sebastien:
