David plays drums during Marianas Trench’s set in Shawinigan, Canada

AUTHOR: Dominika | 1. March 2012 | no comments

As you probably all know by now, David Desrosiers is a huge fan of drums. It might even be his favourite instrument to play! That’s why we’ve already seen him behind the drums for example on many The New Cities’ concerts in Canada (during “Looks Minus Substance”).

This time around, on the last show of Simple Plan’s Canadian tour – in Shawinigan – the boys from Marianas Trench invited David to play drums during their set – particularly during the song “All To Myself”. From what Janie has told us, David learned the song in only 2 hours before performing it live.

That’s pretty remarkable!

Also, thanks to Janie you can now check out pictures from this special occasion in the gallery and also a video below:

The adventures of Mr. Bouvier

Let’s have a little rest from all the recent official updates and let’s take a look at what the lead singer of Simple Plan, Pierre Bouvier, has been up to lately. Even though he has been pretty busy with all the stuff that’s going on with his band, he made some time to head back to California for a while and meet up with his tattoo artist, Aaron Della Vedova (who has already worked on some of Pierre’s previous tattoes) so that Aaron could continue working on Pierre’s next tattoo.

According to the video, that was posted on Guru Tattoo’s (Aaron’s tattoo shop) Facebook page, you can see it’s actually an octopus tattoo, which spreads around Pierre’s whole right leg.

As of this moment, (or at least according to what we’ve been able to spot) Pierre currently has tattoes on his ankle, arm, side of stomach and now on his leg. You can check out the full size of the pictures of Pierre’s new tattoo (on the right) in our gallery.

And we’re gonna stick with Pierre for another while: it’s not been very long since Pierre has finally crossed the magical barrier of 100 000 followers on Twitter, so he decided to give something back to his loyal fans and came up with a surprise: the first part of it is a video of Pierre playing drums for the new Simple Plan song “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You” (the second part of the surprise should be a Ustream webchat: the time has not been announced yet, but I’ll keep you informed on our Facebook and Twitteru). This is what Pierre noted to the video:

Here is me pursuing one of my passions… drums! I played over our song “Can’t keep my hands off you” with my Vdrums. You’ll notice a glitch at the end of the bridge. I had to cut and edit the drum fill cause i suck too much and i couldn’t get it right the first take. LOL… Chuck is pretty good. Enjoy!
