Simple Plan - No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls | Regretting The Past | Rocked 

MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm pretty sure Green Day heard this album, took a shower, wrote American Idiot and ruled the world with that.

Amazing how punk went from standing up against the man to standing up against your school teacher. Great video.

Let's be honest, Simple Plan's best song is the Scooby Doo theme.

No Pads, No Helmets, no SEEEEX

St Jimmy in Jesus of Suburbia (one of the best songs of the 2000s) wanted to leave home because his mom was abusive and everyone overall treated him like shit. Simple Plan wanted to leave home because rules.

For a couple years, I dated a girl who liked Simple Plan. As a result, I tried to like them. But I couldn't. I just couldn't.

No pads, no helmets, nobody cares

No Pads, No Helmets...Just Virginity

Just balls? Really? Despite the fact your lead singer sounds like Mandark from Dexter's Lab?

When I was a teenager, "Dookie" era Greenday and "Smash" by Offspring were my pop punk bands. I feel really sorry for anyone who had grow up with Simple Plan.

And this isn't even the apex of Simple Plan's whining; that would be on the next album with the infamous Untitled. How could this happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Thanks for ripping into the band I love to hate the most. You're the best, Bradley Cooper.

No Pads, No Helmets...Blame Canada!

Here's my gripe with Pop Punk: Why did everyone sound like a Tom Delonge impression?

Puddle of Mudd, limp bizkit and simple plan. The triforce of whining.

If I may, "My Alien" isn't about an falling in love with an actual alien. It's actually much worse. I mean, who was SP's main demographic? Emo, punk, hipster girls. Many of them feel like social outcasts who don't connect with anyone. Almost like they're... aliens to the people around them. It's supposed to be complete pandering to the pretentious girls who see themselves as so different from everybody else; kind of like how 1 Direction uses vague lyrics to entice girls into thinking they're singing directly to them. The "4 legs to wrap around me" stuff is supposed to be a metaphor for charming and quirky traits these girls have that aren't accepted by other people. It's the dumbest, most pandering song on the album.

All the songs sound like the same song I'm not even kidding

I've been marathoning ''Regretting the past'' and I have to say that I admire your strength and commitment to plow through piles of trash just for our entertainment, props to you, man! I hope you won't go insane keep the series going :))

No Pads, No Helmets, No. That's it; end of sentence.

No pads, no helmet, And I'll listen to St. Anger on a 24 loop before this.

No Pads, No Helmets, No Protection while boning an alien.

Take your pick: No Pads, No Helmets...No Skin No Pads, No Helmets...No Deck No Pads, No Helmets...No Service No Pads, No Helmets...No Talent No Pads, No Helmets...Just Medical Bills No Pads, No Helmets...Just Hoobastank No Pads, No Helmets...Just Nasal Spray No Pads, No Helmets...Just Cheese No Pads, No Helmets...Just Warped Tour Shows No Pads, No Helmets...GOD HATES US ALL No Pads, No Helmets...No Track Diversity No Pads, No Helmets...man, am I grateful System of a Down was around in these days, so I had something to listen to.

Every member of Simple Plan got grounded for 2 weeks when their moms heard this album.

No Pads, No Helmets, SEX!!!!

Not even Rings of Saturn would make an alien love song.

When I was coming up in middle school, I was huge on Simple Plan. I remember back in the day blaring “Perfect” because I could totally relate to it.....drowning myself in emotion and depression, and that’s why I never really ripped on this song that much. I still hear it from time to time and lose it mentally. But anyways, these days I don’t really listen to those bands anymore

Gonna be real here; I love this genre. Probably just a sucker for "catchy music", I dunno. But I'm always glad to hear the music I enjoy get torn a new one every once in a while

If there's one album you should review for regretting the past in my opinion, it's Save Me San Francisco by Train. A song like Hey Soul Sister in my opinion should never have been as popular as it was and it's one of the most if not the most overplayed "rock" songs of the 2000s. I actually do respect the band for the most part and do like some of their material, I just think that album is a joke with the exception of the title track. Other than that, it's such a whiny and generic album that never should have been as big as it was.

lol Queen > Nirvana > Simple Plan - backwards evolution chart. hahah! thank you for that!

these guys make nickelback sound original.

We Canadians did give you Sum 41 though, so you're welcome. This came out when I was 12 and already seemed a little juvenile. There were 15 year olds digging this? When I was 15 I was listening to Pearl Jam and Priestess. Not meaning to shame those who did like it. Also, I bet you were thinking about reviewing Simple Plan, "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEEEE?"

I never actually listened to their full album and now I can see why. I used to like the occasional song I heard from Simple Plan when I was younger, but there’s no way I would’ve liked their entire album. Sorry you had to sit through that 😂

Thanks to you, I now know not to listen to No Pads, No Helmets... Just Self Pity

LMAO "They went from Queen to Nirvana to Simple Plan, it's like a backwards evolution chart"

I'll be honest in saying when I heard that Worst Day Ever on this video (which for the record is the first time I've ever heard it), I immediately went, "is that Weird Al?!"

Fun activity: listen to the main riff and chorus of Simple Plan's "God Must Hate Me", then sing the Alka-Seltzer jingle over it. "PLOP PLOP, FIZZ FIZZ, OH WHAT A RELIEF IT IS!"

"That one girl trying too hard to stand out" Which one? My middle school and high school were infested with those, as well as their male counterparts!

Simple Plan Are like RATM but instead of Political songs, Simple Plan wrote songs about how their mom's wouldn't buy them McDonald's

Wait, Simple Plan's "No Helmet, No Pads, No musical talent whatsoever" sold as many copies as Rage Against the Machine's battle of Los Angeles? How? Who would buy this crap?

The singer sounds, on rare occasions, like Weird Al...because Weird Al's appeal is his wonderful singing voice.

No Pads, No Helmets, No respectable music. Also, I would like to see Geoff Tate's Queensryche "Frequency Unknown" as a RTP video.

No pads no helmets no quality.

I don't know a lot about fashion, but they really seem to like the "Role Model" line. A lot. As in, it's front and center in almost every still photo I'm seeing of them. And I know it's obvious but: No Pads, No Helmets, No Service.

If I could go back in time I'd make sure my elementary school self never listened to so much Simple Plan. All of these songs are cemented in my brain.

no pads no helmets no sense of music writing

The sad thing is most of you probably did like Simple Plan at one stage in your life and now we all try to erase it from our memory forever

SO glad you did this. Simple Plan is one of my favorite bands of all time, but you're just way too entertaining to pass this up. Keep it up!

Ugh. Saw them live opening for the mighty mighty bosstones. The bosstones hype man alone on stage would have been more entertaining.

19 year old me: It's so angsty and resonates with me. 37 year old me: This is why the legal drinking age is 21... Can we just go ahead and raise the voting age to 21?

HELL YES. Even though I was a classic rock/metal fan growing up, I was a huge pop/punk fan growing up. But I'm SO happy you decided to review this one. Never understood why these guys were so huge.

My sister loved this band back then, and I remember this album too! Its drilled into my mind because this was the year I moved out of parents house so it is also there to remind me of that too, thanks sis :P

Oh my god, i'm in my mid 60s and am watching this even though i could be doing literally anything else right now. There is nothing wrong with that and i love my life for it.

luckily Green Day was still popular back then

Mom, can we have Sum 41? Mom: We have Sum 41 at home Sum 41 at Home:

... I kinda like this alb-**GETS SHOT**

SP is worse than nickelback

Not sure if you'd be interested in reviewing, or "regretting" Hollywood Undead's "Swan Song", their debut album.

"Sometimes this house feels like a prison..." DUDE, you're *23*! I'm pretty sure when I was 23 I could leave my house whenever I wanted and I think you can too.

If you want a good pop punk band, just listen to All Time Low. Great energy, fun and catchy songs and a singer who can sing.

I like Simple Plan. But I'm aware that this album isn't all that great. So, I'm gonna be as unbiased as I possibly can about my thoughts on No Pads, No Helmets.....Just Balls. **snicker**

The time has come.

Simple Plan is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm the kind of guy that typically listens to bands like Testament and Iced Earth, but I have a few weird guilty pleasures, and Simple Plan is one of them...

What’s more mind-blowing is the fact that guitarist Jeff Stinco has studied classical guitar at Berkeley College of Music! Talk about wasted talent😂

what happened in Canada between Rush and Nickelback?

I was in my early 20s when this came out. I liked "Addicted" the first time I heard it (for reasons beyond the line a 12 year old wouldn't laugh at), and "Perfect" was a great song for personal reasons pertaining to the lyrics. But that's it really. They helped me discover what punk was though: "Hey, this kinda sucks, but I like the sound. I wonder if someone does it better". And then I found Bowling For Soup who are light years better at the actual punk AND the lighthearted tone that SP fails at so hard. But yes, they suck.

Love this album and band. I don't even think you're wrong, I just can't help enjoying their music.

I can't believe this album and Good Charlotte's "The Young and the Hopeless" came out the same year as Bad Religion's "The Process of Belief".

What amazes me is around the time this album came out Blink 182 made their self titled album and Green Day made American Idiot. Pop punk bands were evolving. This type of music was already dated even for the time it came out.

"Queen to Nirvana". I think you're missing a decade.

Well, at least Canada gave us Rush, (old) Three Days Grace, Silverstein, and Cancer Bats.

0:08 when you have a Vietnam flashback for the first time

I really would love for you to do Avril Lavignes "The Best Damn Thing" Seeing the video for "Girlfriend" is still one of the most traumatic music experiences in my life.

Two years prior to this Green Day made one of the most underrated albums ever, where they were growing up, two years after they released American Idiot, a concept album about feeling alienated in society and in between these two gold albums simple plan made a whining album with lyrics like: I'm a dick, I'm addicted to you. Simple Plan should not be a thing!

I don't know how high schoolers were connecting with this stuff when I heard my first Simple Plan song at age 10 and thought it was too childish

*Gets my Battle of Los Angeles cd* Shh shh it's okay, Simple Plan won't hurt you any *Demon voice* LONGERRRRRRR

No Pads, No Helmets, No Nothing... Here are my thoughts on No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls by Simple Plan; 1: I kinda like this song, even if it sounds nasally though not as much as Wes Scantlin. Also, they abuse the "Na-Na-Na" lyrics far too much, and people like to hate on All the Small Things? 2: Okay, this song is just stupidly bad. How was this even a song, yet alone an _idea_ of a song? 3: Yeah, it gets really bad here. It just sounds like so cheesy and juvenile. It's really bad, even worse than the last song. 4: I take that back, this song is worse. It's like they were trying to appeal to little kids, but fail miserably... 5: I'm starting to take this band less seriously the more I listen to it. But hey, it's still better than the last three songs, though. 6: Alright, this does feel like they put some effort into it. 7: "Tee-hee, he said 'dick'. Isn't that clever?" Yeah, I feel like they're trying way too hard, in all the wrong ways. 8: Well, now. I hope he's not talking about me. Well, the song is just generic and forgettable. But I see this guy has some alien fetish. Not sure what to say about that... 9: God must have him for all the stupid things he did... *facepalm* 10: Sure, the lyrics are pretty crap, but the guitar work was decent. 11: "Nananananananana....." That's all I hear. 12: While it still sounds pretty whiny, but it delivers a pretty decent message and can be a bit relatable. No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls was really juvenile and laughably bad. Sure there are some songs I liked (I give anything a chance), but more often than not, it falls flat. To put it bluntly, as well as pads and helmets, this album lacks balls.

Oh, Simple Plan. I remember listening to these guys one time, and I didn't really get it. While I kinda like Punk Rock such as New Found Glory, blink-182, and Sum 41, I never got the appeal of Simple Plan. Apart from their self-titled album, none of their work were interesting to me. Here's what I think about "No Pads, No Helmets......and, No Balls"

Man, I feel embarassed for liking SP when I was in middle school back in the mid-2000s. At least I found metal in junior high and grew out of these guys though, lol (although today I do listen to all kinds of music).

I can really really dig catchy music. Pop-punk (in those days) was extremely catchy, so I concider some of the best pop"punk" albums by my favourites of all time (The Offspring (Americana, Smash), Weezer (Pinkerton + Blue), Green Day (Dookie + Nimrod) are all in my top 100 side tot side with Beatles and Bob Dylan albums). There is nothing wrong with the genre, as long as you do it honest. This album by Simple Plan, and their hole discography, is pure garbage tho. ALTHOUGH I like 'Welcome To My Life', I don't know why.... Sorry. I also keep liking 'The River' and 'Lifestyle...' by Good Charlotte (rest of their discography i hate but...). Nothing wrong with liking certain songs, it's not healthy to compress your feelings to certain songs...

These guys opened for the mighty mighty bosstones. The bosstones' hype man alone spazzing out on stage for 45 minutes would have been easier to sit through. (Hey, it was a free show.)

I still really love Simple Plan's first 3 albums, but I get your point. This is one of the first bands I fell in love back then along with Good Charlotte and No Doubt.

That alien song must have been made after watching a bunch of Tenchi Muyo! on cartoon network.

This dude was *23* when he wrote a song called "I'm Just A Kid"..... uhwhat?

No Pads No Helmets...Just Whining.

I can't say much, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan was my first concert...and I still listen to these albums 20 years later...

Okay hear me out on this one. The nerdy kid in the I’m just a kid music video is also the officer who arrests Badger in Breaking Bad (the episode is Better Call Saul) which means obviously they exist in the same world which also means that breaking bad exists in the world of New York Minute the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen 2004 cinematic masterpiece where Simple Plan is a major plot point. We are through the looking glass people!

I love the reference from the walking dead game at 8:30 sorry I just love that game

No Pads, No Helmets... Just crappy Simple Plan.

I don't mind Na Na's and La La's as much as most. Hell, System of a Down effectively pulled off "Na Na" in ATWA and "La La" in BYOB.

Ah Simple plan, stars of the hit 2004 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film: New York Minute. In this movie one of the girls (named Roxy) skips class to see this “band” leading to the principal (named Max Lomax.... yes that’s a name) to say the line “well Roxy it looks like your simple plan got a bit more complicated”. Cinematic brilliance. Dare I call it... Art!

These videos are so nostalgic for me. Hard to beleive these are already 7 years old. MAKE MORE

I’ve come from the future to say that I’m just a kid is now becoming popular again because of TIK TOK just wanted to say that humanity hasn’t come any further in trying to forget about simple plan

2:50 Can confirm. In high school I was obsessed with Ellie Goulding even though I was a deathcore kid just because I was "in love" with her, lmao.

Just saw simple plan at warped tour. Crowd surfed, waited in line for more than an hour, Bought a $35 T-shirt, got it signed, met the band, and got my picture with them. I even caught a guitar pick. I regret nothing.

Jesus man, it's like you've hit every damn album I listened to when I was growing up! I habitually watch Regretting the Past when I need to feel better about myself... by torturing myself. Shake past that old garbage and admire what I've kept and the new stuff I've found to appreciate.

I do not know if I laugh or feel sad at you. Either way, these videos are awesome. Keep 'em coming!

GREEN DAY'S UNO, DOS, TRE!!!!! PLEASE!!

U should do good Charlotte next another awful band In the same vein as simple plan also what's your opinion on toad the wet sprocket or collective soul .

Watched this video about 7 years ago and this review got me into pop punk and Simple Plan. Same thing happened with the Good Charlotte. Half of the regretting the past videos ended up getting me into to music being ridiculed. Thank you big whiny man from rocked! 👍
