Editorial Review:
IT’S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...but it IS!! Multi-Platinum rockers Simple Plan are bringing you ALL of their hits...and then some...all in one perfect package. The chart-topping fi ve piece have sold over 3 million albums in the U.S. and over 5 million worldwide. Their most recent album Still Not Getting Any hit #3 on Billboards Top 200 and they are at it once again...! The Highly Anticipated release LIVE FROM THE HARD ROCK - in which a 30 minute special was previously aired on MTV, with repeats to follow - will include 14 of the bands MEGA-HITS - all LIVE such as "Perfect," "I’d Do Anything," "Addicted," "Welcome To My Life," "Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?)," etc. The CD will also be enhanced with 3 Live video performances from The Hard Rock.
Description of Live from the Hard Rock:
Culled from a concert/MTV broadcast recorded at Orlando's Hard Rock club, Montreal's Simple Plan ably show here why they've bubbled to the top of a crowded pack of contemporary punk-pop contenders. No hand-wringing, emocore angst or mock street ‘tude for vocalist Pierre Bouvier; he's too busy prodding the crowd into good-natured sing-alongs of band hits like "Addicted" and "Worst Day Ever" like a hyperactive cheerleader. His bandmates thrash and harmonize away behind him with equal zeal, interjecting an infectious energy to even the band's darker moments – though "darker" is a decidedly relative term in the impossibly effervescent Simple Plan universe – like "Me Against the World" and "God Must Hate Me." Simple Plan bristles here with enough boundless energy to make Green Day envious, even if they scrupulously avoid the latter's penchant for provocative smarts in the bargain. But then songs like "Crazy" (also featured here in an earnest acoustic version exclusive to this set) underscore that Simple Plan succeeds by tapping into the timeless, innocent hopes and fears of its largely teen audience with music that's both punk anxious and bubblegum sweet. --Jerry McCulley
Live from the Hard Rock Reviews:
Live always is best 
2008-05-03 - First of all let me say if you are going to write a review but do not like the artist do not put your personal views into it. The idea is to sell someone on the album NOT what you think of the artist.
This being said. this album is great. I actually like SP's older material, however I have seen them live and they are amazing. Live is always better than an album, however live albums are the best kind to get. The song choice they made for this concert is great and sound quality is very good. You can either do very well or fail horribly when making a live album. Recording concerts is difficult enough but then to reproduce them into a CD with excellent sound is even harder. I have heard a few that failed miserably and I can safely say these guys did a great job with this album. If you like Simple Plan (even the older stuff like I do) you will love this album, Also, you will probably find new songs you like if you haven't heard their later albums. For the price this is a great deal pick it up today!
Speechless 
2007-02-18 - BMG sent me this by mistake and I have never heard of the band so I thought I'd give it a listen. I couldn't even finish a single track, let alone the entire album. All I heard was the same generic rock (can this be classified as rock?) that has been polluting the music industry in recent years. Where are all the new innovative bands? If this is all kids have to listen to these days I feel sorry for the youth of America.
Funny; good perfromance
2006-02-22 - This CD is great, even for people who don't like the sound of a live show. Most of the songs sound the same as they do on the albums, and some sound better. Pierre really is a "hyperactive cheerleader," but that's not such a bad thing when you're playing for a few thousand people. There are sing-alongs (Perfect), and screaming contests (I'm Just a Kid). Many funny moments, like David yelling at all the guys in the crowd to "grab their balls and make some noise," Pierre saying that he wants to make out with the crowd, and David calling their first record "No Pads, No Helmets, Just Bizzles." The CD is also enhanced with two live videos, Shut Up and Jump.
ROXS MY SOXS
2006-02-04 - Now SP is my favorite band. This cd actually shows the above excellent music... but it also lets you listen like you were ACTUALLY at the concert. It has funny parts and it cracks me up everytime.... it has new songs and old songs.... in MY OPINION this is one of the best cds EVER!!! next to the real cds... so if you want a cd that you would like to listen to over and over again.... buy this cd.....
Awesome CD!
2005-12-05 - SP rocks on this CD because they are excellent live performers! This CD is my favorite because they don't hold back and just unleash with the vocals and music and really show how amazingly talented they all really are. I saw them in concert after hearing this CD and WOW!!! They give 100% out there for their fans, and it's awesome to have a CD to capture a little bit of that. The music blew us away and I can't say enough about this band. I have all their albums now after seeing them live. Hard Rock Live is still my favorite one. Check it out!
