IHeartRadio recently published a two-part interview [read part 1 & part 2] with Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan, which besides the obvious and so-many-times answered questions also asked Chuck some fun questions regarding his bandmates: Pierre, Jeff, Seb and David.
Have a look at his answers and find out who snores the most on the tourbus, how the band punishes those who are late, who leaves the biggest mess and who the pickiest eater is:
Who’s the messiest?
“I think it’s a tie between David and Jeff. Jeff likes to spread out. He likes to put his case on one couch and his guitar on the other couch and his suitcase on the other one so he occupies about 80 per cent of the tour bus with all his stuff. And then David, it’s contained in his bunk where he sleeps but it’s like his suitcase explodes every night. I look at his bunk and it’s like there’s no way he can ever sleep in that. Somehow he finds a way.”
Who’s always late?
“We used to have a lot of lateness in the band and then we came up with this amazing rule: If you’re one minute late, it’s $5 and every five minutes, it’s five more dollars. Until you hit 30 minutes and then we leave you there and you’ve got to make your own way to the show. That has drastically reduced the number of people being late. I’ve got to say we’re pretty punctual now.
Who’s the pickiest eater?
“I would say me. The band likes to make fun of me and say I’m a little snobby when it comes to eating. I’m definitely a little high maintenance. I will admit to that. I do because my mom is an amazing cook. So I value my food. I treat this body like a temple, you know what I’m saying, you’ve got to be careful what you put in it. David has become a vegan so that makes it even harder than me to find food on the road because it’s not always easy to find vegan restaurants and vegan meals. I would say it’s a tie between me and David.”
Who snores the loudest?
“It’s our crew, not the band. The band is pretty good like that. But the crew are terrible. Our light guy, our sound guy, our tour manager — they’re all pretty bad. You’ve got to wear earplugs on the bus.”
