by Dominika | Mar 5th, 2012 | no comments

First, I’d like to deeply apologize for the fact that the website wasn’t working over the weekend. Everything is back up and alright again and we can get back to updating!

As you already know from the previous updates, Simple Plan are currently recording another music video for their current single “Summer Paradise”. After yesterday’s 14 hours long shoot on Barbados, Simple Plan started the second day (out of three in total) very early in the morning today.

It has also been confirmed that the rapper Sean Paul, who sings on the new version of “Summer Paradise” is present on the videoshoot, so we should be expecting him in the music video.

Below you can read Jeff’s tweet from this morning:

Pierre and Chuck co-writers of Faber Drive’s new single “Do It In Hollywood”

by Dominika | Mar 1st, 2012 | 1 comment

The last time I mentioned that the members of the Canadian band Faber Drive (who you may remember as one of Simple Plan’s opening bands on their Canadian tour in 2008) were meeting Pierre and Chuck from Simple Plan in order to write together some more lyrics for Faber Drive’s new record was last December.

Pierre and Chuck had already worked on Faber Drive’s second album – Can’t Keep A Secret – on songs “Our Last Goodbye” and “G-Get up and dance!” before, so this was not the first time they hung out with Faber and the rest of the gang as songwriters.

Now to the exciting stuff – Faber Drive will be releasing their third album in just a couple of months and on March 13th their first single called “Do It In Hollywood” is coming out – which is also one of the songs that Chuck and Pierre from Simple Plan co-wrote.

Faber Drive’s drummer Andrew Stricko mentioned this song on Twitter a few days ago:

Simple Plan work on a secret project, Chuck teases

by Dominika | Feb 4th, 2012 | 1 comment

Today, Chuck teased his fans on Twitter with a very mysterious new message, saying: “This morning Pierre Bouvier and I had to get up at 5:30am to Skype with a secret guest from a secret location for a secret project.”

So, the biggest question now is: what exactly are the Simple Plan guys up to?

Judging by the fact the guys had to get up super-early for the Skype call, we can assume that the mysterious guest probably isn’t from anywhere near their time-zone, which leaves us with Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Could this be about some possible new collaboration? Or something about the upcoming EP or DVD? Or perhaps even some secret show somewhere on the Earth?

Let’s hope we’ll get all these questions answered soon. What are your guesses?

Pierre also mentioned the secret project in one of his tweets from last night, when he wrote: “Working on 2 exciting projects right now!!! Both of which I can’t speak of just yet… Fun stuff! Can’t wait to fill you all in!”

So it looks like we not only have one, but two secret projects that the guys are working on and we can look forward to. Let us know about YOUR ideas on what these secret projects could be about!

Thanks from Simple Plan for trending on Twitter

To show their appreciation for the fact that the fans managed to get all their names to the Trending Topics on Twitter in the last couple of days, including a few other Simple Plan related topics, the guys recorded a new short video. Check it out below:

The weekend when Simple Plan fans took over Twitter

by Dominika | Jan 15th, 2012 | no comments

From past experience I can honestly say that no other weekend has been this crazy for the SP fans, as this one – and I dare say most importantly because of this Saturday, January 14th 2012, it will go down in Simple Plan’s history. This time though not because of some great thing the guys have achieved or some kick-ass show they just played. No, this time it was all in the hands of the fans themselves. Simple Plan fans managed something they have never before: to completely take over Twitter and its Trending Topics.

If you’re a social network newbie, or just try to stay away from Twitter as much as possible, here’s the deal: Trending Topics is sort of a system that Twitter uses to find out (and show to its users) the 10 topics, that people talk about the most in real time on this network – that means it shows the most popular topics on Twitter. And due to the fact that these 10 Trending Topics are shown to all the Twitter users, it is a very neat and interesting way of promotion.

And what exactly did the fans manage to “trend”? For some unknown reason, without any massive call to arms, “Pierre Bouvier”, started trending. And that started it all. When the fans managed to get the name “Chuck Comeau” up on the TT list as well, they were certain they must put the rest of the band up as well. So, shortly after that, you could spot “Seb Lefebvre”, then “David Desrosiers” and “Jeff Stinco” among the worldwide Trending Topics. But the fans were far from the end of this take-over. Even though he is not with SP as much as he used to, most fans still consider him to be the “6th member of Simple Plan” – and that’s why “Patrick Langlois” was the next thing to trend. The fans wrapped up this Saturday craziness with “Astronauts Love Simple Plan” and “Brazil Miss Simple Plan”, to show the whole world, who’s fans were on fire that day.

And how did the band react to these news? Because this was the first time ever (if we’re not counting some birthday hashtags from a year ago) that the members’ names got to be on the TT list, they were absolutely mind-blowned. This is how Pierre reacted (after being told by Chuck): “I’m a trending topic!! How awesome! Our fans rule!! Pierre Bouvier is the coolest!!! This might be one of the highlights of my life… HAHAH!”.

According to Chuck’s reaction when he appeared on TT, he was pretty surprised too: “You’re joking! Now i’m trending worldwide!! Wow! 1st time ever! SP fans are INSANE today! Thank you so much! You guys rock!”, soon adding: “I’m sitting in my hotel room in KL and I can’t believe how powerful the SP Family and the SP Astronauts can be. I’m blown away! Thank you! Must a LOT of people looking at the trending topics and asking themselves: who the hell is Chuck Comeau? LOL. Love it! Thank you, SPfamily”, and finally: “Well SP fans…you made Chuck Comeau very happy tonight. I love you guys!”

Sebastien expressed his ecstasy with a tweet saying: “Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo YEAH!!!!!!” and then of course when Jeff found out, he sent this beautiful message to his fans: “Wow! I just saw that I’m trending worldwide….you guys are the most crazy, sick, amazing, incredible, wonderful, brilliant fans in the world! I don’t even know what to write you guys, I’m so touched. Everything I think of sounds showoff-y or plain stupid so i’ll stick to: thank you! I’m an Astronaut too. Let’s say it how it really is: Simple Plan just has the best fans in the world. You guys are the reason why we’ve been at it for so long.”

And we can’t forget about Patrick’s reaction, who definitely didn’t expect a thing: “Just woke up from a nap and I see that I was trending worldwide! That’s crazy!! I guess I should nap more often!”

I still have no idea what exactly happened yesterday and what caused all this awesomeness, but the fans have definitely proved how strong they can be, when they join their forces. They proved it today also, when “Simple Plan Saved My Life” has topped the worldwide Trending Topics for hours. And what will trend next?
