If you like Simple Plan and haven't seen them for a really long time, due to the fact that the US hasn't had a proper tour since 2005, please join this Facebook group, a petition of sorts, to make our voices heard that SP have not been forgotten here in America!
I blame the music industry in general. They only promote the most popular stuff. The videos..you only see the top 20 or 10. The videos should include a mixture of popular and not so popular..and the videos should be played more then once or twice. The radio stations only play the 'money makers'. I get so sick of hearing the same songs being played. Why not play other stuff??!
Nothings changed, its whether that band has the ability to keep on going despite not being mtv's flavour of the month.
GC, on the other hand, do keep on going, despite the fact that since 2003 very few of their songs have landed on Radio 1 or that. But they have a good fanbase, and that's whats keeping them going.
I listen to the stations that play the eighties when I'm in my car. at home i just listen to my ipod. the radio is annoying and music television doesn't exist anymore.
