Let's be honest, Simple Plan's best song is the Scooby Doo theme.
Nope
It’s not just that. They were on the Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed soundtrack and actually were featured on an episode of What’s New Scooby Doo? (Season 2 episode 1 or 2 I think)

My Two favorite songs were the What's New Scooby-Doo theme and don't wanna think about you off of the Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed soundtrack.

It's probably the ONLY tolerable song from Simple Plan.
Amazing how punk went from standing up against the man to standing up against your school teacher.
Great video.
+Metalmuscles 138 Well said. :)
Sometimes the school teacher is the man
Capitalism sucks that's why.
Life in General(great MXPX album btw) got better than when punk started; whats the matter with that? This
I would say amazing how punk went from rebelling against the mainstream and commercially viable bands to catering to the mainstream teens and commercially successful pop rock bands. There’s more to punk rock than standing up against authority and politics

LMAO simple plan featuring Scott Stapp. Yikes!
@@billtinsley366SAYYYUCKS!
I'm pretty sure Green Day heard this album, took a shower, wrote American Idiot and ruled the world with that.
American Idiot killed most of the whiny pop punk bands in 2004
Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) Bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan that had such insincere songwriter became noticeably less relevant when American Idiot was released.
Nolan Vogel American Idiot is phenomenal, though I'm not a huge fan of pop punk or Green Day.
I think Revolution Radio is their best though, especially Bang Bang
drummerguy 85 LMFAO YOU'RE FRIED
St Jimmy in Jesus of Suburbia (one of the best songs of the 2000s) wanted to leave home because his mom was abusive and everyone overall treated him like shit.
Simple Plan wanted to leave home because rules.
For a couple years, I dated a girl who liked Simple Plan. As a result, I tried to like them. But I couldn't. I just couldn't.
Just balls? Really? Despite the fact your lead singer sounds like Mandark from Dexter's Lab?

+Rocked Reviews In an effort to get The Megas or The Protomen more fans, and get your mind off this crap, (I mean, I knew they were bad, but hearing parts of this? This...sucks.) why not take a look at The Megas: History Repeating Blue and Red, or The Protomen: Hope Rides Alone?
Rocked I thought the theme to Whats New Scooby Doo? was OK.
Well, well, well.
I think we found Kyle's Mum.
I hope Simple plan doesn’t see this comment and decide to cover Blame Canada
No Pads, No Helmets...Just Virginity
When I was a teenager, "Dookie" era Greenday and "Smash" by Offspring were my pop punk bands. I feel really sorry for anyone who had grow up with Simple Plan.
I agree as Dookie and Smash still Rock today
Smash and Dookie are still great to this day. Simple Plan on the other hand....
I feel sorry for you. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you need to "feel sorry" for those that do.
I think Ignition was a better album, but in a 1a & 1B kinda way
You actually like that crap?
Puddle of Mudd, limp bizkit and simple plan. The triforce of whining.
Wrath's Attack I used to like them in high school, but we all make mistakes.
Wrath's Attack The triforce of emo of course. To be fair I did also like the triforce of whining. If I could go back to my days in middle school and high school I would punch myself and then hand myself my Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, and Dream Theater CDs.
+Wrath's Attack The one song from Simple Plan I hated was the intro song on "What's New Scooby Doo?" I loved the show but not the song.
Wrath's Attack Yes, they even had a cameo episode that I hated to this day. By the way, by the time that show was on I moved on to metal and electronic music.
Wrath's Attack You didn't miss much. I did like the show, but honestly that one episode killed it for me.
If I may, "My Alien" isn't about an falling in love with an actual alien. It's actually much worse.
I mean, who was SP's main demographic? Emo, punk, hipster girls. Many of them feel like social outcasts who don't connect with anyone. Almost like they're... aliens to the people around them. It's supposed to be complete pandering to the pretentious girls who see themselves as so different from everybody else; kind of like how 1 Direction uses vague lyrics to entice girls into thinking they're singing directly to them.
The "4 legs to wrap around me" stuff is supposed to be a metaphor for charming and quirky traits these girls have that aren't accepted by other people. It's the dumbest, most pandering song on the album.
+MegaFriendlyCreeper Oh heavens, I hope he wasn't talking about someone like _me._
I mean, I'm quite attractive and I like anyone/anything, but was he really that desperate.

And this isn't even the apex of Simple Plan's whining; that would be on the next album with the infamous Untitled. How could this happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
As whiny as the line sounded, they tried to write it about drunk driving accidents. A for effort but my god that song is bad.
That song was so depressing (though not a terrible song). I can’t even listen to that song without picturing a car accident about to happen in my mind.
Did they forget to name the file?

Here's my gripe with Pop Punk: Why did everyone sound like a Tom Delonge impression?
+Mathew Viggiani They didn't... just the popular bands did.
+RellikInProfile That's basically it in a nutshell. I feel like a lot of negatives about pop punk bands seem to apply specifically to the once really popular bands of the 2000s, like Simple Plan. Get away from there, maybe go a bit underground, and you may be surprised to find good pop punk bands.
Green Day is the only Pop/punk band that matters. Every other band i'll give you credit for.
This is literally everyone in my music community. 'Generic pop punk yeah!'
Except Green Day
All the songs sound like the same song I'm not even kidding
No pads, no helmet,
And I'll listen to St. Anger on a 24 loop before this.
Sam Miller Same. St Anger is str8 shit but it’s so much better than this.
No pads, no helmets, nobody cares
+Goop Videos Apparently over 2 million people did in the US back then. >.
+Rocked Reviews question, why are you subbed too me? I mean I'm not mad about it, I appreciate the support, I'm just wondering.
They influenced lil Uzi vert
Every member of Simple Plan got grounded for 2 weeks when their moms heard this album.

I've been marathoning ''Regretting the past'' and I have to say that I admire your strength and commitment to plow through piles of trash just for our entertainment, props to you, man! I hope you won't go insane keep the series going :))
I agree may need rehab in listening to real Rock and Rock as we know what rocks
If there's one album you should review for regretting the past in my opinion, it's Save Me San Francisco by Train. A song like Hey Soul Sister in my opinion should never have been as popular as it was and it's one of the most if not the most overplayed "rock" songs of the 2000s. I actually do respect the band for the most part and do like some of their material, I just think that album is a joke with the exception of the title track. Other than that, it's such a whiny and generic album that never should have been as big as it was.
I love their first 2 albums with “Meet Virginia” and “Drops of Jupiter” but hey soul sister was AWFUL!!!!!
It's weird. I know that every band is someone's favorite band and that every song is at least someone's favorite song. However, I have never met a Train fan. I have met people who have said things like "Meet Virginia" and "Drops of Jupiter" are good songs, but that's about where the buck stops. I think they just happened to buy a lot of air space or make song so simple that they fit into any commercial, and force you to like it. I don't think anyone actively likes it, any sales were out of Stockholm syndrome
I really like their first album. The one with “Meet Virginia” on it. I also like a song by them that’s on the Spider-Man II soundtrack. It’s called “Ordinary.”
Their debut album was decent, and their sophomore album was blandly overproduced but did have a few standouts in "Hopeless", "Mississippi" and "Respect".
I actually think the band's downfall began with their third album "My Private Nation". I always pinpoint THAT, NOT "Save Me, San Francisco", as where Monahan first went off the deep end in terms of lyrical corniness and obsession with pop-cultural references. I did not like that album at all, although I can single out "Lincoln Avenue" as a solid track.
Their fourth album is actually my favorite album of theirs. And it's s a shame it was a huge commercial flop because I genuinely feel Monahan wrote many of his most emotionally heartfelt songs this era. "Skyscraper" was a powerful deeper cut. Same with "Always Remember". "All I Ever Wanted" was a poignant album-opener. Then there were other tracks where I loved how they leaned into both an amped-up rock and roll as well as R&B flavor such as "I'm Not Waiting In Line" and "Am I Reaching You Now". I get that Monahan and the band genuinely felt miserable and unhappy during the sessions, but it still produced damn good music then.
Very little of what they've released (or I should say Monahan now) since "For Me, It's You" has done anything for me. I can acknowledge "Bruises" was a damn solid single. "Parachute" was a bit corny lyrically but it did sound sincere and I loved the punch of it. I liked "Son Of A Prison Guard" and "The Bridge" off of "Bulletproof Picasso". But, sadly, that's really it.
"That one girl trying too hard to stand out" Which one? My middle school and high school were infested with those, as well as their male counterparts!
Also, is the second album the one with "Welcome to my Life", because I'm really looking forward to you tearing into that terrible song that got made into so many fanvids!
Thanks for ripping into the band I love to hate the most. You're the best, Bradley Cooper.
Even as somebody who likes Simple Plan, I will admit that a lot of songs on this album, were pretty stupid.
He looks like Bradley Cooper’s little brother
The singer sounds, on rare occasions, like Weird Al...because Weird Al's appeal is his wonderful singing voice.
these guys make nickelback sound original.
Maggie Dean that is sad
Nickelback at least has some pretty decent songs.
That's insulting to Nickelsack and Shitty Plan. I love it!
At least Chad Kroger doesn't sound like a singing kazoo.
ahh when the CRTC CanCon rules made rock radio so awful in my 20's.
When I was coming up in middle school, I was huge on Simple Plan.
I remember back in the day blaring “Perfect” because I could totally relate to it.....drowning myself in emotion and depression, and that’s why I never really ripped on this song that much. I still hear it from time to time and lose it mentally.
But anyways, these days I don’t really listen to those bands anymore
I don't mind the song Perfect. It's actually a nice song
I'll be honest in saying when I heard that Worst Day Ever on this video (which for the record is the first time I've ever heard it), I immediately went, "is that Weird Al?!"
Thanks to you, I now know not to listen to No Pads, No Helmets... Just Self Pity
Wait, Simple Plan's "No Helmet, No Pads, No musical talent whatsoever" sold as many copies as Rage Against the Machine's battle of Los Angeles? How? Who would buy this crap?
Simple Plan Are like RATM but instead of Political songs, Simple Plan wrote songs about how their mom's wouldn't buy them McDonald's
Why is that true🤣🤣🤣
Gonna be real here; I love this genre. Probably just a sucker for "catchy music", I dunno. But I'm always glad to hear the music I enjoy get torn a new one every once in a while
Same here
No pads no helmets no quality.
We Canadians did give you Sum 41 though, so you're welcome. This came out when I was 12 and already seemed a little juvenile. There were 15 year olds digging this? When I was 15 I was listening to Pearl Jam and Priestess. Not meaning to shame those who did like it. Also, I bet you were thinking about reviewing Simple Plan, "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEEEE?"
+Jordan Stusiak (Kingfisher's Brother) You also gave us Nickelback and Justin Bieber.
We also have Rush and Leonard Cohen. The quality balances itself out. There's crap music everywhere. It's no more prevalent than anywhere else. Also, we have like, 1/20th of the population of the US. The fact we have as much of a musical output as we do is impressive.
+MrFutago87 Not to Mention...Bryan Adams...
Jordan Stusiak I still won't forgive you for "Photograph".
***** I'm too busy enjoying my fresh air and cheap health care to even care. Sure, Photograph is on me, and me only. Why not?
Ugh. Saw them live opening for the mighty mighty bosstones. The bosstones hype man alone on stage would have been more entertaining.
I never actually listened to their full album and now I can see why. I used to like the occasional song I heard from Simple Plan when I was younger, but there’s no way I would’ve liked their entire album. Sorry you had to sit through that 😂
lol Queen > Nirvana > Simple Plan - backwards evolution chart. hahah! thank you for that!
No Pads, No Helmets, No respectable music.
Also, I would like to see Geoff Tate's Queensryche "Frequency Unknown" as a RTP video.
LMAO "They went from Queen to Nirvana to Simple Plan,
it's like a backwards evolution chart"
Then we get Seether
Except Nirvana is way better than Queen
Except in my opinion, Queen is sort of overrated.
no pads no helmets no sense of music writing
I don't know a lot about fashion, but they really seem to like the "Role Model" line. A lot. As in, it's front and center in almost every still photo I'm seeing of them. And I know it's obvious but: No Pads, No Helmets, No Service.
+Jacob Smith Perhaps as if it was their own brand huh? .......
SimplePlan.cz How charming. No talent, AND a manufactured purveyor of licensed merchandise? Must be my lucky day.

37 year old me: This is why the legal drinking age is 21... Can we just go ahead and raise the voting age to 21?
If I could go back in time I'd make sure my elementary school self never listened to so much Simple Plan. All of these songs are cemented in my brain.
The sad thing is most of you probably did like Simple Plan at one stage in your life and now we all try to erase it from our memory forever
...
I kinda like this alb-**GETS SHOT**
You're not alone. I'd take this album over any of Justin Bieber's discography any day.
Yeah, I agree. It's fun, and I still listen to some tracks. My Alien is a jam for me.
THANK GOD I'M NOT ALONE! Like yeah the lyrics are face value, the instrumentals are simple and the vocals are whiney, but it's still fun to listen to
@@marcohidalgo1101 hey, journals and purpose are good albums
What’s more mind-blowing is the fact that guitarist Jeff Stinco has studied classical guitar at Berkeley College of Music! Talk about wasted talent😂
"Sometimes this house feels like a prison..."
DUDE, you're *23*! I'm pretty sure when I was 23 I could leave my house whenever I wanted and I think you can too.
I like Simple Plan. But I'm aware that this album isn't all that great.
So, I'm gonna be as unbiased as I possibly can about my thoughts on No Pads, No Helmets.....Just Balls. **snicker**
1: I really liked this song. As a Japanese middle/high school student, I was unfamiliar with rock music at the time. And this song actually did introduce me to the genre. So, I have plenty of nostalgia around it.
2: Yeah, I will admit this song is pretty juvenile. I mean, it's not even explained _why_ it's the "worst day ever". So, yeah. I didn't really like this song, either.
3: Apart from the crappy lyrics, it does have a nice beat and rhythm to it.
4: Okay, I agree. This song is just stupid.
5: I thought it was alright, even with the dumb lyrics.
6: I found it to be a decent song.
7: I agree, this song is dumb as hell. Not as bad as "I'm Just a Kid", but still pretty stupid.
8: Okay, I will admit, this was a pretty weird song. But I did get a chuckle out of it.
9: Pretty stupid song. So, yeah. I agree with you on this.
10: I like the rhythm, but the vocals and writing were pretty dumb.
11: I...have no words for this song. Even _I_ can't defend this.
12: I can relate to this. Sure, it's stupid to most people, but I still have nostalgia towards it. As someone that tried to kill herself, I wanted something a bit more therapeutic. It also made me feel a bit better.
As for this album, I still have a soft spot for Simple Plan. While this album isn't as good as I remember, there still are some decent tracks that I have nostalgia for.
No Pads, No Helmets, Just Balls, stupid as that title is, has a few tracks that I liked. Even if the album as a whole is mostly hit-and-miss.
+Rio Kamichika I can understand where you're coming from.
While I personally am not a big fan of this band in particular, I respect your opinion.
luckily Green Day was still popular back then
Meaning what? They sucked a little less?

Not sure if you'd be interested in reviewing, or "regretting" Hollywood Undead's "Swan Song", their debut album.
Its my guilty pleasure
I kinda like that album 😂
I liked it at first until it clicked to me that it sounded like a cross between Limp Bizkit and Brokencyde.
Oh my god, i'm in my mid 60s and am watching this even though i could be doing literally anything else right now. There is nothing wrong with that and i love my life for it.

If you want a good pop punk band, just listen to All Time Low. Great energy, fun and catchy songs and a singer who can sing.
This dude was *23* when he wrote a song called "I'm Just A Kid"..... uhwhat?
+Owen Wexler It's called pandering to teenagers.
I thought he was 16/17. Well he looks around that age in those videos
"Queen to Nirvana". I think you're missing a decade.
Queen were popular in the 80s too.
***** True, but their best music was in the 70's.
Okay, Queen to Joy Division to Nirvana.
Happy?
more The Smiths (Joy division became New Order in 1980 after Ian Curtis suicide)
Queen to Motley Crue to Nirvana
I don't know how high schoolers were connecting with this stuff when I heard my first Simple Plan song at age 10 and thought it was too childish
I can't believe this album and Good Charlotte's "The Young and the Hopeless" came out the same year as Bad Religion's "The Process of Belief".
The time has come.
SO glad you did this. Simple Plan is one of my favorite bands of all time, but you're just way too entertaining to pass this up. Keep it up!
HELL YES. Even though I was a classic rock/metal fan growing up, I was a huge pop/punk fan growing up. But I'm SO happy you decided to review this one. Never understood why these guys were so huge.
Well, at least Canada gave us Rush, (old) Three Days Grace, Silverstein, and Cancer Bats.
Kyle Hegedus big 👍
They also gave us Neil Young, Leonard Cohen (R.I.P.), The Tragically Hip (R.I.P. Gord Downie), Our Lady Peace, and Sum 41.
Kyle Hegedus Don’t Forget Saint Asonia, Evans Blue, Finger 11
We also have Arcade Fire
Sum 41 maybe?
My sister loved this band back then, and I remember this album too! Its drilled into my mind because this was the year I moved out of parents house so it is also there to remind me of that too, thanks sis :P
Two years prior to this Green Day made one of the most underrated albums ever, where they were growing up, two years after they released American Idiot, a concept album about feeling alienated in society and in between these two gold albums simple plan made a whining album with lyrics like: I'm a dick, I'm addicted to you. Simple Plan should not be a thing!
Neither should green day
what happened in Canada between Rush and Nickelback?
***** no, but you know,.....

Simple Plan is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm the kind of guy that typically listens to bands like Testament and Iced Earth, but I have a few weird guilty pleasures, and Simple Plan is one of them...
Yeah, I kinda liked Simple Plan, too.
Well, their earlier work, anyway.
I enjoyed "You're Love is a Lie", "Perfect", "Last One Standing", "Me Against the World", "I'd Do Anything", and the Scooby-Doo theme.
Most of their later work is just "meh" to me.
MelanicDisaster I think they're really catchy but at the same time really awful.
I'm Just a Kid never fails to make me giggle.
I like them as well. Yeah, they’re whiny, but I can find enjoyment in them.
No wonder why. Iced Earth is the Simple Plan of power metal 😂😂😂
*Gets my Battle of Los Angeles cd* Shh shh it's okay, Simple Plan won't hurt you any *Demon voice* LONGERRRRRRR
I can really really dig catchy music. Pop-punk (in those days) was extremely catchy, so I concider some of the best pop"punk" albums by my favourites of all time (The Offspring (Americana, Smash), Weezer (Pinkerton + Blue), Green Day (Dookie + Nimrod) are all in my top 100 side tot side with Beatles and Bob Dylan albums).
There is nothing wrong with the genre, as long as you do it honest. This album by Simple Plan, and their hole discography, is pure garbage tho.
ALTHOUGH I like 'Welcome To My Life', I don't know why.... Sorry. I also keep liking 'The River' and 'Lifestyle...' by Good Charlotte (rest of their discography i hate but...). Nothing wrong with liking certain songs, it's not healthy to compress your feelings to certain songs...
Sorry. But weezer isnt pop punk. Or atleast i think they arent. Maybe maladroit is.
@@pootassopick Weezer is alternative, powerpop, and Pop rock. Malidroit is more metal than pop punk.
0:08 when you have a Vietnam flashback for the first time
SP is worse than nickelback
I feel like Simple Plan didn't get as hated as Nickelback because they were nowhere near as successful, but I feel like Simple Plan have fewer defenders than Nickelback does.
What amazes me is around the time this album came out Blink 182 made their self titled album and Green Day made American Idiot. Pop punk bands were evolving. This type of music was already dated even for the time it came out.
These guys opened for the mighty mighty bosstones. The bosstones' hype man alone spazzing out on stage for 45 minutes would have been easier to sit through. (Hey, it was a free show.)
I was in my early 20s when this came out. I liked "Addicted" the first time I heard it (for reasons beyond the line a 12 year old wouldn't laugh at), and "Perfect" was a great song for personal reasons pertaining to the lyrics. But that's it really. They helped me discover what punk was though:
"Hey, this kinda sucks, but I like the sound. I wonder if someone does it better".
And then I found Bowling For Soup who are light years better at the actual punk AND the lighthearted tone that SP fails at so hard.
But yes, they suck.
I also like Perfect. It's a nice song
Man, I feel embarassed for liking SP when I was in middle school back in the mid-2000s. At least I found metal in junior high and grew out of these guys though, lol (although today I do listen to all kinds of music).
That alien song must have been made after watching a bunch of Tenchi Muyo! on cartoon network.
No Pads, No Helmets, No Nothing...
Here are my thoughts on No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls by Simple Plan;
1: I kinda like this song, even if it sounds nasally though not as much as Wes Scantlin. Also, they abuse the "Na-Na-Na" lyrics far too much, and people like to hate on All the Small Things?
2: Okay, this song is just stupidly bad. How was this even a song, yet alone an _idea_ of a song?
3: Yeah, it gets really bad here. It just sounds like so cheesy and juvenile. It's really bad, even worse than the last song.
4: I take that back, this song is worse. It's like they were trying to appeal to little kids, but fail miserably...
5: I'm starting to take this band less seriously the more I listen to it. But hey, it's still better than the last three songs, though.
6: Alright, this does feel like they put some effort into it.
7: "Tee-hee, he said 'dick'. Isn't that clever?" Yeah, I feel like they're trying way too hard, in all the wrong ways.
8: Well, now. I hope he's not talking about me. Well, the song is just generic and forgettable. But I see this guy has some alien fetish. Not sure what to say about that...
9: God must have him for all the stupid things he did... *facepalm*
10: Sure, the lyrics are pretty crap, but the guitar work was decent.
11: "Nananananananana....." That's all I hear.
12: While it still sounds pretty whiny, but it delivers a pretty decent message and can be a bit relatable.
No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls was really juvenile and laughably bad. Sure there are some songs I liked (I give anything a chance), but more often than not, it falls flat.
To put it bluntly, as well as pads and helmets, this album lacks balls.
Might as well mentioned that "I'm Just A Kid" is worse now thanks to TikTok
Okay hear me out on this one. The nerdy kid in the I’m just a kid music video is also the officer who arrests Badger in Breaking Bad (the episode is Better Call Saul) which means obviously they exist in the same world which also means that breaking bad exists in the world of New York Minute the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen 2004 cinematic masterpiece where Simple Plan is a major plot point. We are through the looking glass people!
No Pads, No Helmets...
Just crappy Simple Plan.
Oh, Simple Plan. I remember listening to these guys one time, and I didn't really get it. While I kinda like Punk Rock such as New Found Glory, blink-182, and Sum 41, I never got the appeal of Simple Plan. Apart from their self-titled album, none of their work were interesting to me.
Here's what I think about "No Pads, No Helmets......and, No Balls"
1: Has a nice hook, and the instrumentals were decent. Only thing is the vocals. Seriously, the lyrics are generic and cheesy as hell. Though it does sound like it would belong in a racing game from the early-to-mid-2000's.
2: I just don't get it. At all.
3: Same old boring shit.
4: Good god, this song was everywhere. And I couldn't understand why.
5: Meh. It's alright, but it's uninteresting.
6: Absolute snoozefest.
7: Yeah, this song is dumb. And I usually have a soft spot for dirty stuff.
8: Alright, this got a laugh out of me.
9: Okay, now this is ridiculous. Now they're just bitching about random shit.
10: Well, it has an alright beat, but holy hell, those vocals.
11: No. Just no. "My house is like a prison" uh, how old are these guys? What are they under house arrest? Don't answer that.
12: Alright, this was okay. Even with the whiny lyrics, I can understand how people can relate to this. Perhaps the only song I could tolerate.
So yeah, I didn't like this album. It's not very good. Even if I were a teenager, I still wouldn't get the appeal. Apart from 1 or 2 songs, there's nothing I would find interesting about this band. I mean, I'm no stranger to pop punk, but this felt like "bottom of the barrel" to me.
+Aiko Yumi I like Simple Plan, but I can see why people may not like this band or album.
Besides, I think their self-titled album was the best one, and only a handful of in some other albums.
I even like their rendition of the Scooby-Doo theme.
But, I can respect your opinion.
+Rio Kamichika Well, I'm glad to see somebody can be as mature as you and enjoy a band like Simple Plan. I'm happy for you.
No Pads No Helmets...Just Whining.
I’ve come from the future to say that I’m just a kid is now becoming popular again because of TIK TOK just wanted to say that humanity hasn’t come any further in trying to forget about simple plan
I forgot how ubiquitous and annoying these songs were at the time. Now I hear a bunch of late teen-early 20's say how "AMAZING" Simple Plan is and was.
I used to listen to their songs but now I don't really listen to them. I don't mind some songs like 'Everytime', 'Meet you there', 'Perfect' and 'When I'm Gone'. I also don't mind 'Astronaut'
Ah Simple plan, stars of the hit 2004 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film: New York Minute. In this movie one of the girls (named Roxy) skips class to see this “band” leading to the principal (named Max Lomax.... yes that’s a name) to say the line “well Roxy it looks like your simple plan got a bit more complicated”. Cinematic brilliance. Dare I call it...
Art!
I don't mind Na Na's and La La's as much as most.
Hell, System of a Down effectively pulled off "Na Na" in ATWA and "La La" in BYOB.
And on Question!.
I really would love for you to do Avril Lavignes "The Best Damn Thing" Seeing the video for "Girlfriend" is still one of the most traumatic music experiences in my life.
The Hello Kitty one was worse......the cringe of it all
@@JennaLeigh gum gum kitty kitty you're so pretty pretty or something like that fuckkk😂😂🤣
Avril is the reason I hate most Pop Punk. Especially PP from Canada.
ok now i see why every AMV uses this crap, it adds to the suffering
Love this album and band. I don't even think you're wrong, I just can't help enjoying their music.
+cooldude10149804 Agreed.
I knew them from Scooby Doo.
+Demon Rantz the one good thing they made
Ctxx24 Productions That's true.
I have that feeling too. They're so fucking terrible, but their tunes are so catchy.
"How did they become so popular?"
Because they made music relatable to us. Their music helped some of us who were going through not-great stuff. Except for my alien. That can burn in a bonfire.
I love the reference from the walking dead game at 8:30 sorry I just love that game
GREEN DAY'S UNO, DOS, TRE!!!!! PLEASE!!
I'm impressed with the dude who fronted Simple Plan, New Found Glory and all those other shitty pop punk bands in the early aughts.
Wait, they were all fronted by different people with the exact same nasally whine?
NFG’s rhythm guitarist (Chad Guilbert) has a more Nu Metal style when playing, correct me if I’m wrong but I think he uses an 8-String.
I can't say much, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan was my first concert...and I still listen to these albums 20 years later...
U should do good Charlotte next another awful band In the same vein as simple plan also what's your opinion on toad the wet sprocket or collective soul .
12:03 NO!!!! YOU ARE NOT QUEBEC CERTIFIED!!! NO!!! NO!!!!
*Quebec approves this message*
it's weird that outside of "Perfect" which i barely remembered being on the radio but i had no idea that Simple Plan were a thing (and i was 9 when this album came out).
Just saw simple plan at warped tour. Crowd surfed, waited in line for more than an hour, Bought a $35 T-shirt, got it signed, met the band, and got my picture with them. I even caught a guitar pick. I regret nothing.
Because Simple Plan is actually an amazing band. This dude bitches more than all the tracks on this album does in total. But then again that’s why he’s on CZcams trying to give everyone shitty examples to why it isn’t good. Like sorry man not everyone let’s the stupidest reasons bother them.
