YouTuber Elton Castee (TFIL) documents his on-stage moment with Simple Plan in a new vlog

Popular American YouTuber Elton Castee, who can pride himself on 1.8 million subscribers on his TFIL YouTube channel, recently published his long-awaited vlog from Warped Tour in Orlando, FL, where he got to perform with Simple Plan alongside Set It Off’s Cody Carson and Story Untold’s Janick Thibault during ‘I’m Just A Kid’ [we’ve already reported on these special on-stage appearances in this article].

In one of his latest vlogs that he released this week, Elton share the story of how he asked Simple Plan if he could be a part of their ‘I’m Just A Kid’ thing they have been doing throughout all of Warped Tour, where Chuck and Pierre switch their roles and while Chuck crowdsurfs in the crowd and Pierre drums, a number of their singer friends are invited on the stage to finish the song with a microphone in their hand.

What’s amazing is that the video Elton posted has already been viewed over 80 000 times in just 2 days since its original upload. Check it out for yourself to see Simple Plan’s special I’m Just A Kid moment from a little different point of view:

Simple Plan release a new comedy sketch: Weekend at Broco’s

As we’re sure you’re well-aware, Simple Plan have always been quite the jokers and once in a while they like to surprise their fans with a funny comedy sketch video. Previously, we’ve lived to see some hilarious and unforgettable sketches such as ‘Do You Got Wifi?‘, ‘You Alright?‘, ‘Pierre’s Day Off‘, ‘Chuck Comeau, a serious man‘, ‘100K on Instagram‘ or ‘I’m a Ninja‘. So to honor the ending of Warped Tour, Simple Plan could not miss out on this great opprotuniry to create yet another comedy sketch – this time featuring Don Broco, the British band that members of Simple Plan got really tight with over this summer on Warped.

The video, entitled ‘Weekend at Broco’s’, spoofs the 1989 comedy ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ and as such the whole plot revolves around Simple Plan unintentionally killing the lead singer of Don Broco, Rob Damiani, by partying too hard and then trying to maintain the illusion for the rest of Don Broco (and the rest of Warped Tour) that he is still alive by making his lifeless body do a bunch of everyday things. The video features a number of special guests – let’s see how many of them you can recognize:

Simple Plan joined 3OH!3 on stage for ‘Don’t Trust Me’ & more video news from Warped Tour

Warped Tour still continues rolling through the United States and in the past couple of days, Simple Plan and tons of other bands visited states like Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. A lot of things have happened at these Warped shows and what else can recap these moments better for us than videos!

In this post, I’d like to point out some specific videos worth checking out, which will give you a little more insight into what went on on Warped Tour – all from very different points of view! Now, let’s get to it:

On stage with 3OH!3

Even if you’re into just one band in particular on Warped Tour, the rule is you always have to go and check out other bands’ sets as well, if only for the reason that you never know what might happen and who might appear on the stage beside them as a special surprise.

And that is exactly why the attendees of the recent 3!OH3 shows did not lose out! In the last few days, both in Detroit and Chicago (Tinley Park), some members of Simple Plan (and other bands) made a special guest appearance on the 3OH!3 stage, surprising their crowd with Sebastien’s and Chady’s guitar skills, Jess’ (The Summer Set) drumming skills and Pierre & Travis (We The Kings) also showed off their singing… and mopping skills. Below we bring you Danny Vance’s (SP’s tour manager) Instagram Stories of Pierre and Travis mopping the 3OH!3 set mid-song and on the second video, you can see them actually doing some actual proper work by joining 3OH!3 during their hit song ‘Don’t Trust Me’:

Special SP moments captured by Chady

In the past few days, Simple Plan have been applauding the incredible atmosphere that their fans have created during the shows on Warped Tour. Thanks to Chady’s camera footage, they have been able to put together some of the best moments of the most recent shows into two new videos, which you can check out below.

The first video captures a beautiful moment during ‘Perfect’ yesterday in Chicago (Tinley Park) and the second one is a mix of moments from multiple recent Warped shows to the sounds of ‘Addicted’:

Peter John’s behind the scenes of Warped vlogs

And finally, we cannot forget the person who’s kept us updated from the inside with what has the band been up to behind the scenes of Warped Tour for a while now: Peter John, the Australian filmmaker, who’s been touring with Simple Plan on Warped Tour this year and giving us little insights of their tour life.

Simple Plan continue to enjoy their life on Warped Tour this summer and over the course of the past few days, the road has lead them to more U.S. cities, where they got to perform their energetic set.

But before we head over to the new additions to the gallery from each of the past few shows, let’s have a look at some video updates we have here. Firstly, Simple Plan just released another recap video on Instagram, which captures footage from their most recent shows at Warped Tour. You can check it out here:

And while Simple Plan’s setlist on Warped Tour still remains the same, the attendees of the most recent Warped Tour in Maryland Heights, MO on Monday had the opportunity to see Simple Plan pull another special surprise, when they invited not only Travis Clark from We The Kings (as they’ve done a few times before) but also Nate Motte from 3OH!3! Both musicians then helped SP finish their song ‘I’m Just A Kid’, while Chuck stagedived into the crowd and Pierre took over the drums. Check out a video of this moment here.

Filmmaker Peter John, who’s recently started posting short vlogs of behind the scenes on Warped Tour with Simple Plan [don’t forget to watch the previous ones!], didn’t forget to upload the latest one today, so here’s the most recent update from the road, in which you’ll see the boys and crew passionately watching the World Cup and more happenings at Warped:

Peter John documents life at Warped Tour with Simple Plan in daily vlogs

On this year’s Warped Tour, Simple Plan not only have their trusted photographer Chady Awad with them to take pictures, but who else joined them on this 2-months-long summer ride is their old friend Peter John from Australia, who you may recall at the director who was in charge of Simple Plan’s ‘Live in Melbourne’ footage [check it out here] and some other stunningly-shot live videos.
