On Friday night, Chuck Comeau appeared on Dave Morissette’s talk show “Dave Morissette En Direct”<\/b> on TVA Sports, where he discussed the Simple Plan Foundation, his love for music and sports and later on in the show, Chuck’s friend, a Canadian ice-hockey goaltender Jos\u00e9 Th\u00e9odore joined their discussion via a webcam<\/b>. During the interview, a rare clip of Jos\u00e9 Th\u00e9odore’s performance on the cover of “American Jesus” (originally by Bad Religion) during one of Simple Plan’s shows back in the day was shown.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Sab<\/i>, you can read a short recap of what was discussed in this French interview below:<\/p>\n

– Chuck discusses the fact that since the start of the Simple Plan Foundation in 2005, they have raised over 1.5 million dollars<\/p>\n

– A month or two before today’s benefit event, when Chuck called his Mom, they spend at least 45 minutes speaking about what they have to collect for the auction<\/p>\n

– Chuck talked about his love for hockey. He always wanted to be an ice-hockey player, but he is still a big fan. He explains that Jos\u00e9 Th\u00e9odore once played on stage with them. They didn’t know if he was going to be good, but they thought that it would just be a good advertising for the band for him to play with them because it was a day before the release of Still Not Getting Any. It was during the lock-out, so no hockey game were played at that moment, and the Journal de Montreal posted an article saying “Jos\u00e9 Theodore is playing” in big characters and “with Simple Plan” in smaller characters. They played American Jesus. Then they became good friends.<\/p>\n

– Chuck compared being in a band to being a hockey player. Jos\u00e9 said he wanted to be a musician and Chuck told him he wanted to be a hockey player.<\/p>\n

– After that they made a bet that Jos\u00e9 and Chuck have to play hockey together and if Jos\u00e9 looses he has to wear a jersey of a team he doesn’t like, and if Chuck looses he has to wear a Sum 41 t-shirt, as it’s “a band that we don’t like very very much”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
