Besides SimplePlan.cz and Evropa 2, Simple Plan also did an interview for DNES.cz/TV Óčko at the recent Aerodrome Festival in Prague, Czech Republic, which has now been released online. Check out what Chuck and Seb had to say about the Czech Republic, its fans and find out which member of the band is often in charge of booking tours (three guesses who!):
Update: IDNES.cz also published the full (8-minutes-long) version of this inteview, which is unfortunately dubbed. You may be able to hear some of the English parts of the interview though, if you listen carefully. Check it out below:
When on tour in Europe in the past few weeks, the members of Simple Plan gave a number of interviews to local media channels. Now, you’ve already seen the SimplePlan.cz interview, but let’s have a look at some of the other interviews that have already been released on YouTube and which you may have missed.
On Saturday, June 10th, Simple Plan attended the Download festival in the UK, where The Pit got ahold of Chuck and Seb for a short interview, in which the two members of the band discussed why their band has a way to connect with a crowd even at heavier festivals like Download and how the pop-punk genre can still be relevant today:
As you can guess from the setting of it, the second interview comes from Prague – from the Aerodrome Festival – where Jeff Stinco got interviewed by the Evropa 2 radio station. Check it out below:
Earlier this week, Simple Plan were in Hungary playing at the Budapest Park and other than the amazing weather, what else could top that wonderful day in Budapest? A trampoline backstage, that’s what!
Check out the new short vlog the guys filmed there, having fun at the trampoline, which the band has just realeased on their Instagram:
On the past few soundchecks, the members of Simple Plan have been surprising their fans with some interesting choices of their tracks. Today in Budapest, where the band is playing in an open-air venue at Budapest Park, Simple Plan performed one of their b-sides ‘Vacation’ – which you may recall from the Olsen twins’ movie ‘New York Minute’.
Check out a short video of Pierre playing this song while playing the bass at the same time below:
On Friday night, Simple Plan returned to the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London, where they had another unforgettable No Pads show ahead of them. This time around SimplePlan.cz was there again to bring you some more in-depth info straight from the crowd.
The audience was very diverse: people from countries like Canada, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, China, Slovakia or Czech Republic all came to London to witness this very special 15th anniversary show.
And it was quite an eventful night! The first time that the members of the general public were able to see a member of SP on stage, actually came much sooner than anybody expected! During The Bottom Line‘s set, this opening band decided to invite Pierre to take part in their new on-stage game they started on this tour in Germany, when a member of the audience is chosen to shoot a ball through a basketball hoop held up in the middle of the audience. It took him 2 shots, but finally Pierre scored with loud cheers from the audience accompanying his victory.
See it all on the video SimplePlan.cz filmed for you below:
After The Bottom Line’s set, two more opening bands took the stage: Milestones and Trashboat. Around 9pm the stage was all clear again, ready for the best part of the night to begin.
From the first notes of I’d Do Anything all the way to the final song Welcome To My Life, the London crowd very actively engaged in the show, holding up signs (note the quite impressive lit up sign on the right!), jumping, singing along and trying to get various items of ladies’ underwear thrown on stage.
Big props should go to the middle section of the crowd which right after the beginning of Boom made sure to call security in order to help a girl who’s passed out of exhaustion and made sure there was enough room around her. The band immediately stopped playing and patiently waited a number of minutes to make sure the girl was carried out safely. See tiny parts of this moments caught on our Instagram Stories:
David’s absence on this tour was once again explained during the show when Pierre took the microphone to discuss the issue of depression that their bassplayer is fighting right now. See his speech in the video below:
The recent attacks in the United Kingdom resonated in Pierre’s speech in the middle of Crazy more than ever and everybody in the crowd loudly joined in the ‘Is everybody going crazy?’ sing-alongs while Pierre stood on top of the front of house area.
