Helen Halbert is my new favorite show reviewer in the world. She attended a recent concert which featured Simple Plan (above), Faber Drive, Cute Is What We Aim For and Metro Station - and she reported it was a snoozer!
Each band’s forgettable brand of emo pop was greeted largely with indifference, despite surefire rabble-rousing ways like a swear word shout-along. They also learned early on not to play call-and-response with an audience unfamiliar with their latest MySpace hits.
Oh, that’s rich. A “swear word shout-along?” Bands still do that?
Also of note is the creepy womanizing from Simple Plan:
“Simple Plan gave the show their all and knew how to flatter their fandom—although, the hot-girl shoutouts were a bit unsettling considering that the 13- and 14-year olds were, in fact, girls.”
Simple plan: “So well get fame, some money, and tons of hot fans.”
The Devil: “Yep, but there is a catch.”
Simple Plan: “I’m sure there is.”
The Devil: “Your fans will all be young, and your money will be fleeting faster than your age shows.”
Simple Plan: “That’s fine. I’m sure the girls will remember us when they are legal. Then we can get crazy blowjobs”
The Devil: “Yeah. Sure they will. That makes sense. Just sign right there, and initial here.”
Oh man, that show would be torture. I saw Metro Station at a show with Anberlin and Mae and they were one of the worst acts I’ve ever seen in my life. It was absolutely atrocious.
Yeah man, terrible musicians. Can’t play a note of the guitar, always out of tune, songs made no sense, terrible gear and recordings. An all around evil band with CDs sold at Hot Topic and Wal-Mart. Punching kittens in the neck. The absolute blackest spawn of an illicit encounter between Hitler and Pol Pot. Let’s all be glad they’ll be dead soon.
This band should really go away. The dribble they call music should be eliminated altogether.
@ Matt–Hilarious. Kudos good sir.
Jay, don’t get your hopes up, I thought the same about Fall Out Boy, and now look what has happened; Pete wentz has his own show on MTV and Fall Out Boy has a new album coming out. It sucks they’re not dead yet; Metro will be around as long as Cute is What We Aim For, and All Time Low.
“Now it’s just too late,and I can’t go back, I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.”
Oh, the days I use to listen to simple plan are gone but those haunting memories are not. I actually feel sorry for them, they just couldn’t survive in the scene.
Someone took that seriously….
It seems to me that Simple Plan is my type of music!
(not)
All I can say is:
I’m still a dick, I’m addicted to you.
Sorry, couldn’t resist it.
I love Simple Plan
I heard them the other day.
And I found out i used to listn to them when I was alot younger
“although, the hot-girl shoutouts were a bit unsettling considering that the 13- and 14-year olds were, in fact, girls”
