Last night, February 11th, the American rock band The Maine performed in Prague, Czech Republic for the very first time. And thanks to the always present Simple Plan fans at local rock shows, we have found out that during the gig at the Futurum Music Bar, the band actually performed a small cover of Simple Plan’s classic hit ‘I’m Just A Kid’.
Our reader Josef even managed to film a bit of this cover on his phone and you can now check out the footage he sent us below. Kudos to all the fans who sang along!
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:
With Warped Tour saying goodbye and farewell with today’s very last show, Alternative Press asked a number of artists, who appeared on the tour, which song best describes the atmosphere of Warped and could be considered its “national anthem”.
Many band members put their two cents in on this topic in the video, leaving quite a number of songs as the best contenders for a possible Warped anthem. Sebastien Lefebvre from Simple Plan for example named Pennywise’s ‘Bro Hymn’ as the most appropriate song for a Warped anthem [Seb appears around mark 10:25 in the video].
But our favorite tip for the anthem of Warped definitely came from Travis Clark, the lead singer of We The Kings, who had some very nice things to say about Simple Plan, who’s song ‘I’m Just A Kid’ he’d personally like to see up for this title. Check out the full video at the end of this article, but first, have a look at what Travis said about SP below:
‘If I had to pick one song of We The Kings that I thought was a Warped Tour anthem, it would be a song called ‘Check Yes Juliet’, which is our very first song, you know, that we ever kinda put out and promoted. But a song for the whole tour… I think Simple Plan’s ‘I’m Just A Kid’, which I think was written like 16 years ago for them, or 17 years ago. And it just totally encompasses Warped Tour at its core, where we’re all just kids that love music. And I hear them play it, and people just lost their minds. It’s a really cool thing to be a part of something with, you know, people that I love. I love Simple Plan to death – they are our brothers. And it’s definitely a Warped Tour anthem. Everytime I hear it, I get kinda giddy inside.’
On the second-to-last ever Warped Tour in Orlando, FL, Simple Plan brought another bunch of guys to perform I’m Just A Kid with the on stage, as a special surprise to the crowd that came to see them. This time around, Simple Plan welcomed on stage their old friends Janick Thibault from Story Untold, Cody Carson from Set It Off and the third personality to jump on the stage was Viner and YouTuber Elton Castee, who was later seen completely fangirling about this special opportunity on Twitter.
Check out a short clip of Janick, Cody and Elton singing I’m Just A Kid on stage with Simple Plan, while Pierre took over the drums and Chuck went crowdsurfing last night in Orlando:
At last night’s Simple Plan show on Warped Tour in Atlanta, GA, Simple Plan once again surprised the local crowd with a new special guest, who joined them on stage during ‘I’m Just A Kid’, which was the former Hey Monday singer and winner of The Voice, Cassadee Pope.
Since Cassadee is a self-proclaimed Simple Plan fan since her childhood, this was a very special moment also for her. On her own Instagram, Cassadee later shared a video of her performance with SP, thanking the band for having her on stage in Atlanta:
‘Can definitely cross “singing with Simple Plan” off my bucket list. “I’m Just A Kid” is my JAM. What an awesome group of dudes. Thanks for bringing me up, guys!!’
