Have you ever wondered how the guys came up with their band name – Simple Plan?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1998 a new film by Sam Raimi – called “A Simple Plan”<\/b> – was released and in a hurry to get a name for their new band (that was just about to play a show), the guys decided to drop the “A” and call themselves “Simple Plan”.<\/p>\n

“The guys were like \u201cwe need a band name, we\u2019re playing a show!\u201d and the producer guy had just been watching the movie \u2018A Simple Plan\u2019, and he was like \u201cyou guys should try that name\u201d, so they dropped the \u2018A\u2019 and just went with Simple Plan, and we ended up keeping the name<\/b>. When we got signed we were wondering if we were keeping that name or not, and you know what, it is kinda Simple Plan because we get to do what we\u2019ve always wanted to do for a living.”<\/i>

Another explanaition behind the name is that the guys claim, that they never wanted to be stucked in some office, but they wanted to play in a band and discover the world. And that was a simple plan for them.<\/p>\n

Little curiosity: when the band was trying to come up with ideas for their band name, Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) suggested the name “one-legged-duck”. The guys rejected it at once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
