Alternative Press recently filmed a video with Jeff Stinco from Simple Plan, which became a part of their Six String Stories series on YouTube. In the video, Jeff talks about his relationship with guitars, tips for new guitarists that are starting out and shares lots of memories of his first experience with this intrument.
Check out the very interesting video below:
As it was teased last week, Simple Plan are indeed featured a little bit in the brand new music video by the British pop-punk band The Bottom Line, which opened for them on both parts of their European tour earlier this year.
Check out ‘Pull Me Out’ and try to guess at which shows all the shots from the music video were taken:
Chuck and Seb from Simple Plan recently filmed a rather extensive video for Alternative Press, in which they revealed 10 things their fans may not know about the band.
The 10 things the guys mentioned include stories such as not getting Punk’d by Ashton Kutcher, number of kids they have in total, number of pets they have in total, Chuck’s visit of Gene Simmons’ house, or Chuck getting punched in the face at an airport in Singapore.
Check out the video below and let us know how many of the facts you really didn’t know!
Besides being a great drummer, Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan has always been very interested in the music business in general and as a result of that he is often the force and the mastermind behind most of Simple Plan’s endeavours. Now, he has decided to take his interest in his band’s music scene to the next level by getting involved as a producer in a new documentary film project by Epik films, which delves into the topic of the current resurgence of pop-punk.
Recent years, but especially 2016, have brought us an exceptional number of new records and a general growth of interest in the pop-punk scene. Not only by newer bands like State Champs or Neck Deep, but also by bands who have been the leaders of the original pop-punk era in the late 90s and early 00s, such as Blink 182, Green Day, Simple Plan, Yellowcard, Sum 41 or Good Charlotte. And it was exactly this matter that his band is also a part of that got Chuck interested in producing ‘Resurgence: A pop punk-umentary’.
The film is directed by Peter John, which finally answers us the question what this Australian director and his team were filming at the Simple Plan Australian and U.S. shows and why Peter John still keeps being seen alongside Chuck – such as at the recent Good Charlotte show in Los Angeles.
Check out our gallery now for the first picture from the behind the scenes from the filming of this documentary with Chuck:
Epik films have also already released a trailer for this film, which is scheduled to be released in 2017 (however, it is currently unknown by which medium it will be distributed). From this trailer we can tell that besides fans, the documentary will also feature a number of interviews with people tied to the music industry, such as Story Untold (who opened for SP in the U.S.), Mike Fishkin (Idobi radio host), members of Neck Deep, Chuck Comeau of course and many more. See the trailer for “Resurgence” below:
Since Good Charlotte was playing Los Angeles on Thursday night, it was a given that many local music-related people could not miss this event. So of course the attendees of the show had the chance to spot there people like Jack Barakat from All Time Low, Marko DeSantis from Sugarcult, Tony Palermo from Papa Roach, the head of Idobi radio Tom Cheney, Simple Plan’s Australian director Peter John and last but not least Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan. It was hard not to know about the latter when Joel from Good Charlotte announced “Simple Plan is in the house tonight!”.
This has of course given some of the musicians a chance to unite and that’s exactly what three of the attending drummers did – Chuck, Tony and Dean Butterworth from Good Charlotte got to hang out and exchange some drum talk between the three of them. Tony Palermo later posted this photo of the three drummers together with the following comment:
Drummer hang with Chuck Comeau and Dean Butterworth. Dean killed it last night with Good Charlotte. I met Chuck when he was 14 opening for Ten Foot Pole in Montreal. Proud of him for growing up behind the drums. We talked about drumming as something we could never not do. And thanks to Marko DeSantis for the ride last night.
