    HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT SP FOR THE FIRST TIME?

    The first time i heard about SIMPLE PLAN was when i was FIFTEEN YEARS OLD (2004 to be exact) after "Still Not Getting Any" album came out. I saw these guys in many magazines but i didn't know who were they... so my first impression about SP was... O.O what a hot guys!!

    I decided to find out more about them, on radio stations, TV Shows and so on. After this I fell in love with every song, yeah! :) The first SP album that i bought was "SNGA" so so so happy!! (but i knew it was the second one) then i got the first album "NPNHJB" (i felt like a PunkStar, hahaha WHO DOESN'T?) there's so much i have to say but...

    Definitely My Life wouldn't be COMPLETE without SIMPLE PLAN! so... HOW ABOUT YOU?

I was 7 or 8, 2005, the guys were here at Brazil... I heard Perfect on my mom's cell phone, my father called her from the concert, I guess. Then I was watching a TV Show, and I remember myself going crazy when I saw David, we was singing Welcome To My Life's chorus... I fell in love.

Must've been when I was 10 and in the 5th grade!...I either heard Perfect or Welcome To My Life.. I may just be 15 now, but I feel like I've loved them forever!!!

I bought my first SP album back in 2004. "Still not getting any". I didn't know them, but I thought I give it a try. I buy a lot of Cd's without knowing the bands in the first place. Well, when I put the cd on I was so happy because this band was exactly what I was searching for.
I was 24 and found my absolute favourite band. Nothing changed since then. I bought every album and watched every video that was available.
So now with 31, I was at my first concert and I was blown away. The guys did an absolute great show. That wasn't my last SP concert. See you next time in Germany.

My friend's told me to listen to a band called Simple Plan back in 2004. At first I asked "who?" one of them said that I should listen to Welcome to my life, the latest single at the time. I did on Fox FM in Melbourne. It was brilliant. Then I heard Addicted, Perfect, I'd do anything, Happy Together, Shut Up, Untitled, When I'm gone, Your love is a lie, Save You, Jet Lag, Can't keep my hands off you and now Astranaut. Go SP come to Melbourne.

i was seven when i heard of them, i am now fourteen and they are still amazing, i like to sing and i play guitar, i know all their songs on guitar note by note, and all their songs lyrics i also know by heart, people can say they are their #1 fans, but how many people can say that they spent 5 years learning songs and developing their voice to simple plans.

I've been listening to them ever since the beginning. my cousin introduced me to Reset and so then from their on. I was only 6 years old when I was listening to Reset. and then Simple Plan came out with No Pads in 2002, I was 9 years old. Im 18 now. I remember actually going and getting No Pads the first week it came out. yeah I was a pretty Dope kid. Im a Simple Plan fan and I stand strong

I was 10 years old, and No Pads.. had just come out so the I'm Just A Kid music video was playing all over The Hit List (TV show on YTV that used to be really popular and I watched it all the time). Unless you're from Canada you probably don't know what that show or TV station is lol. But I've been in love ever since...I'm 19 now so it's been a long time!

I was in high school back then when I first heard about SP. I think that was when they change how they played and did slow, emo rock.

Right around 02/03... I was about 11 or 12. I used to watch WAM! on Disn Network (I'm not sure what the station is called now...) and I saw two music videos on one of their shows: "I'm Just a Kid" by Simple plan and "My happy Ending" by Avril Lavinge. I fell in love with both, particularly Simple Plan, because I'm Just A Kid reflected exactly how I was feeling about school at the time. I've been a fan sine then. ^_^

it was in 2003 and i was 15 years old... it was a very, very boring day and i was just looking for a video on youtube and then i "found" simple plan :-D

It was in 2004. I was going to the salmon festival and my cousin was a huge fan of SP. When they came onstage, I didn't know any of the words, but I just fell in love with the band. I spent my teenage years buying every magazine I could get my hands on and plastered my walls and ceiling with posters.

I WAS 8 WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT SIMPLE PLAN AND I'VE BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE!!!!

I first heard about Simple Plan when I was in a "looking for good emo/punk music" phase. And Simple Plan was the only good band of this genre I found at the time and they're awesome.

This was around 2005 and I was like 20 at the time I think. And their 2nd album hooked me.

When No Pads No Helmets Just Balls came out in 2002 I had just turned 10

In 2005, when I was 15 years old and I had a pretty lazy Saturday on my sofa and switchend from music-channel to music-channel and stopped at MTV Germany which was 6 years ago still a free-tv-channel. And then they played the "Shut up"-Video and I was just like "Hey, pretty cool guys and pretty good music and that song fits so good to school situation at the moment, you should take a closer look!"....so I watched the video until the end and I really started to like the music! :)

hello :)

i believe i was 12-13 years old. i remember i was in middle school back in 2002-2003; i was so young and so unbelievably stoked about you guys, simple plan. i remember waiting during the summer to watch you guys play on pepsi smash... oh, the good ol days! i remember thinking, "how do they JUMP s o high during their shows?!" haha and of course, i was always singing along to your songs. no pads, no helmets, just balls... brings back some of THE BEST memories for me. actually, ALL of your albums do! haha.

anyway, i am now 21 almost 22... and to this day, if someone ever asks me "so what's your favorite band/artists?" i just smile and say, "oh that's easy. SIMPLE PLAN is my most favorite band... they have been, for almost 10 years now." :)

I heard of them when No Pads came out... I've listened to them since I'm Just a Kid :P.
I think I was about 9 years old. It's been almost 10 years!

luvsp146's picture

since i was 13 now im 18. I first saw them at a concert in San Diego, California. It was My Show 6 and they were the second to the last and I knew one song, then after the concert my obsession began, I bought their CD still Not Getting Any.. the next day :). Finally after almost 6 years I finally got to meet them at the warped tour in Texas

some1likeux3's picture

I was 12 yrs old .
It was in 2004, when I listened to "Welcome to my life" and I fell in love with it. That's just amazing!
Since then I can't get tired of SP!! They're awesome . I'm a brazilian fan that haven't been to any of their concerts yet :/
I'm going to a concert pretty soon though, that's what I hope :)

The first time I heard about SP, was one year ago,(15) with "I´m just a kid".
When I´ve seen Pierre I´ve never thought that he is older then 20.
It was so funny when I saw that Pierre ran into a door and that was the secound when I thought
"I want more O.O"
