Simple Plan in Barcelona

On March 13, Simple Plan acted with pride at Razzmatazz in Barcelona after having exhausted all entries a month before the concert. And yes, we were there. The truth is that for me, this group is one of the most listened to about 8-9 years ago, at the time of No Pads, No Helmets ... Just Balls (2002) and in that of Still Not Getting Any (2004). It is true that from the third album, and continuing with the fourth-pace changed a bit and that made them lose some of their more punk style fans, but honestly, if you animated time ago and today I would like to recall you felt when listening to songs like 'I'd Do Anything', probably I would have recommended.

For the tour to promote Get Your Heart On! (2011), were brought in as support to We The Kings, an American band labeled as a mixture of power pop and alternative rock who knew how to warm up the engines of the public good. A high point for them is the great cover that made 'The Middle' by Jimmy Eat World.

Thus, the public-mostly female-and nervous, it was time for the five components of Simple Plan jump on stage and what better to do it starting with 'Shut Up'. The truth is that the setlist was not bad, because they knew how to balance the scale playing 10 songs from the first two albums and the rest of the newest. Among the oldest is worth noting 'Addicted', 'The Worst Day Ever', 'Welcome To My Life' or 'I'd Do Anything'. Moreover, the latest chose some pretty successful as 'Loser Of The Year' or 'Can not Keep My Hands Off You'. However, there were times when I did feel in a concert for teens. The group knows what the public are followed and adapted to it, so that the medley of 'Moves Like Jagger' by Maroon 5, 'Dynamite' by Taio Cruz 'I'm Sexy And I Know It' by LMFAO was more than good looking. Obviously, in other times would not have seen this and would have preferred covers of groups that are not heard on FM Radio Flaixbac or Europe, but we will not get so demanding.

Note that in the song "This Song Saved My Life 'fans took banners inspired by the theme filled with satisfaction to congratulate the Canadian-fan club, that's a nice touch! -. Still, a great moment of the concert was his final, in which Pierre Bouvier decided to end playing solo and acoustic 'Crazy' and joining with others later to say goodbye with his legendary 'Perfect'.

In conclusion, I will say that we've all grown up with some groups currently do not hear so often because we have not evolved with them musically. Some people are even ashamed to say that years ago listening to Simple Plan, not that I think it takes to do. I watched the show from the back and no one would bother me or push me and my opinion is that it was a waste of time for anything because I was kind of fun and musically are in top form. Of course, I could not help but feel some nostalgia for the years left behind long ago.
