In case you missed it on Friday, thanks to our reader Sophie (@sophie_music05) you can now watch the full livestream that Simple Plan recently did on Instagram live on November 5th to celebrate the release of their new single “The Antidote”.
And in case you don’t have extra 35 minutes to watch it all right now, here’s a short recap of any important or interesting information we’ve learned in this livestream:
- the guys discusses the behind the scenes of Jeff’s solo in “The Antidote” – turns out it wasn’t just Jeff playing it, but Pierre was controlling the pitch pedal to create the final crazy sound of the solo
- there will be a music video for The Antidote, the guys have already chosen a director and are about to figure out the details of when it’s going to be filmed
- Chuck confirmed that the music video for The Antidote will feature their actual fans in some way
- Simple Plan’s official fanclub the SP Crew is currently under reconstruction, it will be back again: changed, but better
- due to covid, soundchecks and VIP parties for the foreseeable future won’t be taking place, but as soon as the situation is better again, the guys want to reinstall these special fan meet-ups with the band too
- to some extent, the album will have similar vibes as The Antidote, the songs are mostly classic Simple Plan but with a modern vibe to them
- the fans can expect some collabs on the new album – the band is working on them right now
- Simple Plan will make it up to their U.S. fans after the canceled tour – they are planning a new U.S. tour hopefully for spring/summer 2022
