Simple Plan Inspired By My Chemical Romance And Fall Out Boy

Simple Plan have admitted that they are inspired by the ambitions of bands like Fall Out Boy, Green Day and My Chemical Romance.

Speaking to Gigwise, the Canadian rockers say that although they are not directly influenced by such bands, the three bands’ latest records did help shape Simple Plan’s eponymous third album.

Lead guitarist Jeff Stinco told us: “I think that when Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Green Day came out with their ambitious records, we weren’t necessarily inspired by them musically, but by their desire to push it further and make grand statements.

“We wanted to find our own way to do this, without copying what they are doing.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the band also warned fans considering getting a Simple Plan tattoo to think about it thoroughly beforehand.

Jeff said: “Getting a tattoo of your favourite band is awesome but you need to pick them wisely, and specifically where you are going to have them.”

cool...

Simle plans new album is very pop, more so than MCR and FOB. Again, catchy tunes, but very popish. The End is a very good tune though.
Maybe a hint of them splitting up by the guy saying not too get a tatoo???.
Anyhow, Simple plan are not bad.

lol damn straight they were "influenced" by green day. Give boulevard of broken dreams a listen and then check out your love is a lie by Simple Plan.

- respect

That really sucks that Green Day is being clumped in with these bands. Simple Plan, FOB, MCR aren't really good in my opinion. Green Day can make some pretty catchy music. They're way older and more experienced and shouldn't be put in the same group as these bands.

So? He's just saying they inspire him. He could say Hendrix inspires him, but it wouldn't make them one and the same.

I am glad I am not alone, despite popularity and a bit of being stale I would more group Green Day with the likes of Bad Religion.

"Simple Plan have admitted that they are inspired by the ambitions of bands like Fall Out Boy, Green Day and My Chemical Romance."

Greenday I sort of understand, not into there latest stuff anymore. But I don't know the ambitions of the other two FoB and MCR! All i see of them at the moment is 'Over-Commercial' pop-distort.

I really liked Simple Plan when i was like 12, and getting into heavier stuff, but they sorta grew out after a couple of albums..

checked

well first idk how Green Day, or even Simple Plan were called emo. both were around before that genre was out. secondly, if you listen to MCR's new cd, it is not pop or emo. Musically it is very straight forward rockish, it's actually good.

Lol, i was also gonna point that out as well. i don't really like Green Day, MCR, or Fall Out Boy, but simple plan to me are just awful! good pop music i guess... Keeping in mind that their target audience probably weren't born when Green Day released Boulevard of Broken Dreams! lol

[ShootToKill]

I think the point of what he said was that Simple Plan were motivated by Green Day's drive for success, not specifically their musical abilities. I could be wrong but that's how I interpreted it.

The reason Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are so popular is that they play what people want to hear, what's the harm in that? Bickering over their genre doesn't tarnish their success...

[Mootallica]

One crap band influenced by 2 crap bands.

I use to hear the term "emo" floating about before it was big. mainly around bands like Weezer and i think Rival Schools...

I wonder who is considered as the genre's pioneers... you know... kind of like how Korn are widely considered to be the pioneers of Nu-Metal
