at a freaked out and crying Avril. David was the only one who comforted
her and made sure she was really okay. Awww... David was once rumored to be dating Avril Lavigne, but as I called them... they were only rumors At
a show once, someone yelled, "Say something in French!!!" and David was
the one to step up to the microphone and say a few words in French David not only plays bass, but he can also play drums and guitar! David thinks moms are cool David never recorded an album with Reset It is rumored that the rest of the guys from SP stalked David until he joined the band!

them both to one of Simple Plan's concerts. That's the first time Joeal
and Hilary met each other. David played a little bit of drums for the Still Not Getting Any... CD. In the lyrics booklet, it says "Additional drums on this recording: David Desrosiers" David

takes a break.

It must've taken a really, really long time for a stupid punk to do that! Seb- We're gonna go buy our record! Doesn't look too good, eh? (After
sucking in helium) Hey we're going to Virginia Beach. This is gonna be
so awesome! The day is beautiful! And then we're gonna be back with
Sugar Ray! See you there! Chow! That's
my baby! *Kisses Bass Guitar* (Shows a whole bunch of clips of David
throwing down his bass really hard) I'm just kidding... I don't give a
f**k about my bass! You know what? This is Alcatraz... and the food... SUCKS there! Guys! What the heck?! OH! THAT'S GREAT! We're in Times Square... in New York... Photo shoot!!! ... for the album cover! Gotta get some calories! *Hands Pierre and banana* Banana! Seb was acting pretty early and Seb's acting was so f***ing unbelievable... I took pictures like a tourist. Doesn't look too good, eh? Now we're in Europe. They say it's 7:00 here... I don't believe that. Remember that? When Pat did that to me... Jeff was the first one to laugh... now let's see who's laughing! Guys! Do I look like Jeff??? David- We're here in Madrid, We destroy everything! Including our own bodies! We destroy them... Actually, I think our goal is to try to kill the band... It's a little windy but it's all good! I'm
actually glad I'm still alive! We were all sleeping and all of a sudden
it's like... *starts jumping around* BANG! I screamed like a f***ing
girl apparently I
had a little too much to drink last night. And it's like 12:30 or
something and we're going on at one. I think I'm up... up and running
like they say. I'm going on stage to rock tose kangaroos and koalas! I
was skateboarding and trying to be cool, and I was actually cool for a
little moment and I was following Pierre too close and I was sure he
was gonna go on top of the ramp. Then he did a little trick and came
down and then me and Pierre hit each other. BACK AT JAPAN!!! Here
we are at the train station, the Tokyo station. We're going to Osaka
for the first Avril show tonight. It's a bullet-train. Cause it goes
fast like a bullet. David-
We're late. Because of me. Because... uh... I was in my bed sleeping
because my alarm did not go off. So I had to skip the shower... uh... I
always skip the shower anyway... Let's play some f***ing music! I'm gonna party like it's my birthday tonight! I got a red carpet at my place to rehearse... What's up? We are on the red carpet. And I almost slipped! Hey,
what's up? We're going to Jamaica right now and I managed to steal
chucks bag. This is where he keeps all the important stuff; passports,
computer, paperwork, everything! And it's so nice, I don't want it to
get wrecked or anything so we're gonna wrap it for him! He's gonna be
so pissed off! Oh! That's Grrrreeeeaaat! Hey, check it out! You guys remember that? That's cold man! Stop it now man! We are at the Warner Brother's Animation Studio. nd we're about to do some *makes funny cartoon noise* that for Scooby Doo. (About "Happy Together") It's a really good song. Your parents probably know the song I'm sure. This
is the recording studio where lots os our favorite CDs were recorded,
believe it or not. From Papa Roach to Lit to No Doubt to Linkin Park.
All our favorite CDs have been pretty much done here. The vibe is
awesome. If you turn to your right you have little cndles and all that
s*** That was the f***ing coolest shot drinking ever! I can not believe it! The
bunk area... which is my favorite area... because you can sleep and not
think about anything but sleep. This is my bunk right here. I think
it's the one that's the cleanest right now. And... uh... let's close it
so no one will mess with my bunk! Sometimes you gotta take some time to remember ya know how things started for us We
used to tour in a beat up ambulance that Pierre's dad used to own. We
were sitting on couches in the back. Totally illegal but, Hey! We're
not dead... we made it We went to Japan a couple times When you land. When you get to see the land our--- Wherever you're gonna land it's just mind blowing! Everybody
can speak the language of music. I know it sounds really corny and
cheesy but music is a language that everybody speaks. Definately we've come a long way and we've accomplished a lot. This is what we've always dreamed of. And what we always wanted to do. And now we get to do it and it's pretty amazing. My favorite part of being in a band, I would say, is to go on stage. The
first note you hit on stage, you get that energy from the crowd. These
kids have been there waiting for you to come on stage. And you realize
how excited they are as soon as you get on stage and that makes me
excited to play One
of the most exciting things of the whole journey, if you will, for me,
would totally be that I got to play with a lot of my favorite bands. I
got to sing with The Used on the Warped Tour which was really amazing.
Thank you guys for this! And we got to play with GOB, our good friends.
Our Canadian friends. Got to play with Bowling for Soup. Got to play
drums with these guys and got to play drums with Sugar Ray as well. I
would say the fans are probably the most important reason why we're
here today and they've been supportive in helping us since day one.
Since this band was totally the smallest band in the world. I'd
just like to say thank you to everyone that's come to the show, that's,
ya know, that's wearing a Simple Plan shirt, that's just spreading the
word and, ya know, just like giving Simple Plan some love. We really
appreciate your love. Thank you. I
joined this band exactly 3 years ago and it's kinda crazy how we got to
know each other a lot better. We got to basically do everything
together for the past 3 years (Shows Pierre looking beat up at the "I'm Just a Kid" video shoot) You shouldn't have done that to me, man! Pierre- It's honeymoon night, we're getting laid. At the photo shoot, I'm getting laid! Lala- So does the new album have a title yet? The bubble jet is right where my penis is... and it feels great! Some people get engaged... and some don't... it's ok... This
RV is here to make us feel comfortable. If we're tired... there's a bed
here............................... and the bathroom... to poop! *appears from the bathroom* Ahh... how good was that? That felt nice MAKE UP! Check this out! *shows tan line from wrist band* Bob Rock is a living legend! I'm really honored that he's recording me, personally!... and the band... of course... Alright!
We're gonna pop this bottle! As you all know, Bob Rock is a big
champagne fan... he showers in champagne! *Pierre and David pop the
cork and Pierre pours the champagne into David's mouth* *singing* That's the way! The only way!!! Is it ok if i start crying? *while playing little beats on the drums* I'm just trying to keep myself warm --SPECIAL SEB QUOTE CONCERNING DAVID-- We all like the first record, but we're not really fond of how it sounds, you know? Tattoos hurt, man Even if you are not a hockey fan, it's a really big deal to play here I said she's freckled!!! (taling about Lindsay Lohan) DD! That's me! We
got a Christmas present! They're grapes! But they aren't normal
grapes... *eats one* they have drugs in them. Who wants grapes?! Will you guys walk for that? some masturbatory material?!? If you wanna be bad, yeah, you gotta be good Look!
Banana!... Double banana! Double banana! It means it's got two bananas
in it... I'm going to steal this... from the convenience store... *puts
package behind his back* We're going to go play on the rooftop of a hotel, just like rockstars usually do I'm
really stoked about my new watch *shows off watch* It's my first watch
in 6 years! Because I'm always late... but I'm still late... David-
"When Pierre has a little bit of ah, alcoholic drinks, inside of him,
he becomes this crazy animal where he gets naked on the bus and jumps
around and all the furniture-" David- Pierre used to own a petting zoo... Pierre- What the f*ck is that? Looks like a bong! You know what? Australia has the best weed I ever smoked in my life! (Someone throws a shoe at Pierre) (Some chick flashes Simple Plan We're the kind of band that jumps into the crown after a show to hang out, check out other bands and be ourselves (about
the "Untitled" video) Just some random girl that was actually driving
and listening to music and everyone is very vulnerable to drunk
driving, unfortunately (after the lights went out at a concert) Do I look sexy in the dark? (about 'Happy Together') That song was made while I was swimming around in my dad's balls. David- (In Springfield) How many Springfields are there in the U.S.? (Introducing "Happy Together") How many people out there are over 30? This song is for you! (At
a concert near his birthday) Thanks for all of the signs for my
birthday. I'm gonna be sixteen! *cheesy grin* How many sexy 16 year
olds wanna go out with me?! Shut up! I'm doing... something! Grab your freaking balls and make some freaking noise! But we look so much better when it's dark, Pierre! Hey! Who's got out first record called "No Pads, No Helmets... Just Bizzles!"? (Jeff
plays opening "I'm Just A Kid" guitar riff) So are you guys familiar
with that little guitar thing Jeff's playing? (hardly anyone responds)
You guys skip that song or something? Come on, you gotta cuddle a little bit, you know, you gotta feel the love here tonight I think I've just got it going on, you know... You can't have good sex if you don't communicate
Pat- Why are you peeing in the shower? There's a bathroom right here!
David- Whatever, I love peeing in the shower! It just relaxes me!!!
David- Cause it came out today!
Chuck- Spain!
David- Yeah, I never really thought we'd be in
Chuck- Spain!
Pierre- Get to the point!
David- Like what point?
David- Oh! That's fine!
David- Under My Foreskin
Lala- I cannot believe you just said that!
Seb: When we got here, David was being a moron *shows clip of David rocking out on his bass really hard in a crazy way*
Seb: And then we-- David was a moron all day *shows clip of David going nuts and dancing around with his bass*
Seb: And when we left, David was being a moron *shows clip of David sitting beside Chuck then he stands up with his arms int he air while making weird beeping noises*
--END--
Pierre- "Yeah and David films me *pretends to have a camera and looks down at Davids penis* like this. David loooves it!"
David- "Yeah and then I focus on this region right here *waves hands over Pierre's penis* and then I sell it on eBay!"
Pierre- Yeah do you have any pets??
David- Uh I got crabs!
Pierre- Did anyone bring their mom to the show tonight?
(crowd cheers)
David- Hi! I'm David...
Pierre- David likes moms!
David- And the best girls too!
(David picks up the "bong" and throws it at Pierre)
Pierre- Dude you missed my balls!
David- Thats because you dont have any balls!

David- Is this the Springfield that Bart Simpson lives in? Does anybody here know Bart Simpson?

Simple Plan Members on David
Chuck on David:
I think the coolest thing about David is that this guy will do anything
to make us laugh and to make everybody around laugh. He doesn't care if
you don't know him, if you've never met him before or what not, he just
wants to make people laugh and make them happy. And I truly admire how
he can entertain himself and other people with nothing at all. I think
it made our tours a lot more fun to have him around ya know, like
f***ing s*** up and throwing his bass on stage and just being a total
idiot! Seb on David:
All he does all the time is say jokes and he does nothing else but say
jokes and he does nothing else but make me laugh. Like if we're on
stage together he starts spitting on ya know, Pierre or like throws
pics at my head or like ya know if we're offstage. Oh dude, David's got
the worst jokes ever but it's always good to have something to laugh
about. If it's the fact that it's bad, then it's still good. David's
just a goofball, total idiot type person that likes to make people
laugh. Jeff on David:
He's really ADD! PlusI think that's the beauty of his personality, ya
know. He sees something and he runs after it. He sees something else
and he moves on, ya know. He can't concentrate for more than 3 seconds
at a time. You'll get pranked always at the end and in the middle
you'll be like, 'Who's that?' then eventually you'll realize, 'It's
David!' Pierre on David:
He's always the prankster. Trying to make people laugh and like... he's
just always pulling pranks on people and like... doing stupid stuff to
just always make me laugh. According to SP David is the fun, prankster! All the more reason to love him
