Over the past couple of months, maybe even years, Sebastien has been using the li.st app to document various lists of things for the public to see. And as it is his time off right now, Sebastien has a lot of time to wonder, which is why he created a new list yesterday.
In this list, Seb put together all the most popular misconceptions about being in a band – in Simple Plan in particular. Check out the list below and let us know which of these misconceptions were YOU guilty of yourself?
Misconceptions About Playing In A Band
Hmmmm… I had to talk to my band mates for his one. I gonna tell you what people think, and then how we feel about it or what’s actually going on.
• Our favourite music is Simple Plan
Sometimes, we walk into restaurants or hotels and they start playing our albums. For a while… and they bring up the volume. I don’t love that. I listen to SP everyday already on stage!
• We have a Simple Plan plane
We don’t! Wow we don’t. We fly commercial. And I’m happy when we fly enough to get status so I can upgrade to first class for free! That is only if our crew guys didn’t get the upgrade first … 😤
• Backstage is where it’s at
Backstage is the quiet chill area of the venue. A few snacks, a couple of guys stretching and a couple more warming up. Boring!
• The tour bus is the coolest place ever
We make it work. I mean sure, there’s TVs, drinks and all that. But also, there’s bunk beds and we sleep there when the bus moves… when you wake up in the morning, you have to look for a 🚽 [toilet] because you can’t 💩 [poop] on the bus…
• Our security guys take care of us
We don’t have any! There you go.
• We love music
Of course we do! But, if we are getting picked up and have to drive somewhere, radio off please.
