Thousands of fans got their hearts on last January 12, 2012 as popular rock group Simple Plan brought their Get Your Heart On Tour to the Smart Araneta Coliseum. It’s been years since the popular punk rock band’s had a hit single, and judging by the popularity of Jet Lag. It’s as if they’ve risen from the dead with bigger and better songs for their fans. As the saying goes third time is the charm and it was the bands third time to perform in Manila. Even if they’ve been here before, Manila’s still got lots of love for the group as proven by the number of fans screaming at the concert.
Last January 12, Manila experienced a concert like no other. Simple Plan performed live at in the Smart Araneta Coliseum with guest performer.
Local band, Kamikazee who was the night’s as their opening act. Since they’re pretty much under the same genre as Simple Plan, the crowd eagerly bopped their heads and clapped their hands to Kamikazee’s music as the band, in turn, enjoyed the energy of the crowd. Kamikazee performed hit singles Narda, and Martyr Nyebra along with other original tunes while giving away a few copies of their albums. Frontman and vocalist Jay, obviously impressed by the crowd’s reaction even tore off his shirt at one point! The audience’s reaction was more than enough proof that OPM is alive and kicking, and that Pinoys still support local bands.
The bouncers standing at the VIP area even got pushed up to the barricades near the stage. The VIP and the Patron Area looked like it were being pulled by the stage. The fans were everywhere – the seats on the VIP area were was being used as a pedestal, the seats at the back were all empty, the other areas were quite full, lights were flashing all throughout the concert, glow sticks and posters were all over the place; it was indeed a wonderful looking and energetic crowd.
The band kicked off the show with their old hit song Shut Up followed by Can’t Keep My Hands Off You and Jump. They even sang several lines from songs of other artists like Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling, Cee-Lo Green’s Fuck You, Taio Cruz’s Dynamite and Pink’s Raise Your Glass. The best thing about this concert was that they did not just sing their latest songs but they also mixed in their old hits – it was like travelling the band’s path to stardom in a random order. They sang When I’m Gone, Addicted, My Alien, You Suck at Love, Thank You, You Love is a Lie, Astronaut, Summer Paradise, Jet Lag, This Song Saved my Life and even Welcome to my Life and I’d Do Anything.
The band also showed off several Filipino phrases they learned like Salamat and Magandang Babae. After almost every song they sang, their lead vocalist Pierre would say “Salamat” which is thank you in Tagalog They even used Salamat in exchange of the Thank You part in their song entitled Thank You, a funny, cool and clever gimmick indeed!
At one point during the concert after seeing all the glow sticks being held by the crowd the band requested the audience to raise all their glow sticks or – mobile phones for those who didn’t have glow sticks , and sway them in harmony to the beat of their song Astronaut. It looked like part of the night sky was trapped inside the Coliseum – a sea of stars dancing along to the tune Truly a sight to see!
The band really looked like they had a blast during the concert; they even performed 3 more songs for their encore list – Loser of the Year, I’m Just a Kid and Perfect. Their second to the last song was like a time capsule, bringing back memories of the past when that song was #1 on the hit charts. Another memorable part of the show was when Pierre performed an acoustic version of Perfect before the band caught with him as they sang the entire song in a regular melody.
After the concert, one can still hear fans still screaming and fussing about what just happened using their hoarse voices and last surges of adrenaline, not thinking about the next day even if it was either a school day or work day for them. It was truly an incredible night, a concert that was worth every cent, a night worth waiting for – thanks to Dayly Entertainment and Midas Promotions for making this successful event happen.

Title: Simple Joys for Simple Boys
Written by Jamie Ortega
Some people think that world-famous musicians arent real people, with real simple joys and fans. Even if theyre an insanely famous pop-punk band the boys of Simple Plan savor the simple treasures of life, like ice cream and cartoons. Be sure to catch them live in Manila on January 12 at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum! Get your tickets now! The show is produced by DAYLY ENTERTAINMENT.
Fun facts:
• Pierre Bouvier is definitely a one big kid at heart. He is a fan of the animated dog, Scooby Doo and he says that he still watches the cartoon on television.
• Bromance? Jeff Stinco, Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier and Sebastian Lefebvre all attended the same high school.
• Pierre Bouvier loves Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream ( we wonder if we should feed him some Pinoy ice cream flavors like ube or macapuno)
• Seb Lefebvre prefers boxers over briefs! (Girls you know what to give him for Christmas)
• Jeff Stinco's fave superhero is Wolverine.

Title: Simple Plan's Journey to the Top
Written by Jho Mariano
Edited by Jamie Ortega
Before you rock out to Simple Plan on January 12 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum feast your eyes on some fun facts about their members. Be sure to catch them live in Manila! Get your tickets now! The show is produced by DAYLY ENTERTAINMENT.
1. Remember their roots: Simple Plan is a Canadian punk-pop band consisting of former high school friends Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Jeff Stinco (guitar), David Desrosiers (bass), Seb Lefebvre (guitar), and Chuck Comeau (drums). At age 13, Pierre and Chuck formed a band in Montreal, Canada named Reset. In the long run, Chuck left the band and started a new band with some friends and Pierre soon joined, after that Simple Plan was formed.
2. The band has released four studio albums: No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls (2002), Still Not Getting Any...(2004), Simple Plan (2008) and Get Your Heart On! (2011); as well as two extensively promoted live albums: Live in Japan 2002 (2003) and MTV Hard Rock Live (2005). Simple Plan fans which ones were your fave and why? Tell us below!
3. After recording several demos, Simple Plan finally scored a record deal with Lava Records, a division of Warner Brothers Records. They collaborated with Good Charlotte's Joel Madden and Mark Hoppus of Blink 182, the end result being the fiery and fun No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, released in early 2003 by Lava Records. It sold over four million copies worldwide and went double-platinum in Canada and America.
4. The Bob Rock-produced second album, Still Not Getting Any was produced the next year. It did quite well, scoring hits like Crazy and Welcome to My Life. In 2005, they released a live concert album entitled, what else, Live from the Hard Rock.
5. Simple Plan has been nominated for different awards from various distinguished and respectable organizations. They were nominated for a Juno award, Kerrang! award, MTV Asia award, MTV Video Music award, MuchMusic Video award, NRJ Music award, Teen Choice Award- just to name a few.
6. Like what many people say, being nominated is an honor in itselt, although nothing spells success like an award. The group has taken home several awards like the 2002 CASBY award, 2006 Juno Fan Choice Award, 6 MuchMusic Video awards, 2006 artiste s'étantillustré le plus hors Québec, and 2005 Teen Choice Award, and a lot more.
7. Some of their annual gigs Rock out on stage! The band performs at the annual Vans Warped Tour and other gigs around the globe.
8. The band returned after a three year hiatus, with another album, Get Your Heart On!, which featured cameos from Rivers Cuomo, Natasha Bedingfield, and All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth. MacKenzie Wilson, and Rovi.
9.
Fan of the Olsen twins? You probably saw Simple Plan in the movie New York Minute starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Simple Plan played the band that Mary-Kate’s character was obsessing with.
10. "I would've gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids." Does that line ring a bell? The band’s music was also featured on both Scooby-Doo and the Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed soundtracks.
11. These dudes are definitely rockers with a heart. Simple Plan helps nonprofit and advocacy groups by donating to different organizations such as the MTV Asia Aid benefit, MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), RADD (Recording Artists, Actors, and Athletes against Drunk Driving), and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and more. They will be soon forming their own foundation called the Simple Plan Foundation, a foundation that focuses on teen problems ranging from suicide to poverty to drug addiction.
