Transkript
00:01In our simple plan, everybody make some noise!
00:09What are you doing here?
00:10I'm practicing.
00:11Why do you guys need to practice?
00:12Because we suck.
00:16When we were teenagers, Montreal was the mecca of punk rock.
00:19My teacher at school recommended, like, you guys should start a band.
00:22We were like, yeah, we should be in a band together.
00:25We made a demo, printed as many as we could, and then we FedExed them to the yellow pages of rock.
00:37I was collecting all these rejection letters, like, it's not for us at this point.
00:40Atlantic Records was coming to Montreal to sign another band.
00:43It felt like it was the last chance.
00:48And the next day, he says, like, let's make a record.
00:50I'm signing Sybil Blatt. Sorry.
00:52I'm getting emotional to think about it, but yeah, it worked.
00:56The album came out.
00:57It was such an underwhelming moment.
00:59We're going to buy our record.
01:01It was not available.
01:02No radio station played it.
01:04There was a lot of bands that made me feel like we weren't good enough.
01:07These guys are new. They're gonna have to pay their dues.
01:09Do you fight to be in a club that you'll always feel like you're not really a part of?
01:13Or do you create your own times?
01:17So you kicked Chuck out of the band?
01:19Yep. Uh, we did.
01:22The door was closed, but I could hear them talk.
01:24Chuck, we don't need him anymore.
01:26That's some hurt right there.
01:28And I'm not sure it's resolved.
01:30They are the definition of brotherhood.
01:32You love your brother, but you want to strangle him sometimes.
01:36Simple Plan was one of the first bands that I felt like I could help out.
01:43It's 20 years later. Sometimes it feels like nothing's changed.
01:49Sometimes I feel like I accidentally got here.
01:52The hardest thing in the music business?
01:54Staying there.
01:55Oh my God!
01:56I'm sorry.
01:57It can't be perfect.
02:03Are they gonna see this?
02:04Probably. Oh my God.
02:05Yes.
02:06Yes.
02:07Yes!
