Good Charlotte
Forum
I hope they do release the songs that arent as good as the others, and keep the better ones on the CD. Why...I dont know. But I do.
I dont listen to GC haters' opinions anymore...even if they did like a song the band came out with, they'd probably be too embarrassed to admit it.

Not really, believe me, when/if they come out with a quality song I will let you know.

good... hehe... but... I like 'em... don't ask why, 'cause I don't know...

The new CD came out a few days ago. It's really different from their other stuff, I think its better. Its not as pop-y.
>>By Squeegy (Saturday, 9 Oct 2004 22:57)
They're moving more in the direction of pretending to have integrity, whilst still making really bad music. The theory is that practive makes perfect and GC have had a lot of practice making really bad songs.

I still haven't heard the new album... but I've heard predictable... and I like it
>>By Mekko (Sunday, 17 Oct 2004 15:04)
Don't ask me how, but I really liked the new CD... got it today... but I like I Just Wanna Live and S.O.S.
>>By Mekko (Thursday, 28 Oct 2004 00:02)
I love S.O.S. I Just Wanna Live makes me wanna get up and dance, lol. I also really like "Meet My Maker", the bonus track on the Death CD.

Single-handedly shitting on the punk image, DIY ethic and any sense of musical independence all at the same time. They're better off dead.
>>By BrutallyRocker (Thursday, 28 Oct 2004 22:45)
agreed.

I have boughten there new CD the day it came out and i have to say, the lyrics have gotten a lot better. i like SOS a lot. Noel-x3, all i have to say is that they arent shitting on Punk image because they arent punk.. they are simply just music. they have never said that they were even remotly punk. Hm. How could you say they were shitting punk image if punk is like the SEx pistols, Rancid, Distillers, and groups likethat, i dont see how GC even closely comes permitted to that group. They have made there own style with the music they love. So with that i leave a talented group. Good Charlotte. There first cd i would say was the best but the lyrics in the new CD are awesome. They have come together as a band and frends really great and that is what life should be like. As long as theyre happy im sure they wouldnt care how much people think of him. They lived out there dreams and that is all that matters. They are very talented and they deserve a lot of credit.

I listened to the album because I'd bought it for my friend as a joke (my little recengefor him doing a similar prank for me - I bought him the GC CD for his birthday and told him it was Linkin Park, his favourite band). Therefore I'm in a good position to correct ForkInMyEye.
"the lyrics have gotten a lot better" only because tehy sucked in the first place. And they haven't gotten A LOT better. Just a tiny bit. they're still abominable.
"i like SOS a lot" SOS is one of the worst songs on there, especially for the lyrics. The closest to musical innovation has to be track 2, the title track.
"they arent shitting on Punk image because they arent punk" people call them punk and this makes actual punks look bad.
"they are simply just music" music??
"They have made there own style with the music they love" No, it's just stupid pop-punk like Simple PLan or Sum 41, only a stage worse.
"a talented group" No
"There first cd i would say was the best" Well, at least it isn't overplayed as much... but really, it's worse than the new one.
"They have come together as a band and frends" They were manufactured.
"As long as theyre happy im sure they wouldnt care how much people think of him." As long as people buy their CDs and other merchandise I'm sure they'll be happy.
"They lived out there dreams and that is all that matters" They annp y the Hell out of a lot of people, uncluding myself.
"They are very talented and they deserve a lot of credit." Well, not really...

Bitch Fit-
"Therefore I'm in a good position to correct ForkInMyEye."
First of all, we're dealing with OPINIONS here...you know...everyone's is different.
They were not manufactured, they formed the group on their own...what proof of that do you have?
"people call them punk and this makes actual punks look bad."
They can't control what people think of them. They are not punk, they have never said they make punk music. Just because people call them punk, that automatically makes them punk? People who know what real punk is know that GC is not, so who cares what a bunch of losers who have no idea what they're talking about says?
" "They lived out there dreams and that is all that matters" They annp y the Hell out of a lot of people, uncluding myself."
Tough. Don't listen.
>>By Squeegy (Monday, 1 Nov 2004 21:35)
I think anyone who's listened to the album is in a good position to comment on it. If you haven't listened to a band's music, how can you fairly have an opinion on it? As you said "OPINIONS" - this is a discussion, right? Not everyone's opinion is different. When it comes to GC, I agree with a lot of the haters.
Not manufactured... so what's with their drummer problem? Why have none of the other members quit?
They dress like punks, yeah? So they look like punks. Without listening to their music, people could be forgiven for mistaking them for punks. And when you listen to the music, you realise it's a very shoddy imitation of punk, so poor in quality that it cannot even be classified as punk. It's definitely pop-punk. But "losers who have no idea what they're talking about" will argue that they're imitating punk, so they must have been inspired by it. And they'll say this is the direction punk is moving in these days.
Of course, if you were right that nobody cared for their OPINION, it wouldn't matter. But "losers who have no idea what they're talking about" still have the vote, right? That proves that their opinion counts. I suppose if they couldn't vote, people like Bush wouldn't get in. But it's up to nobody to defy them to vote, just because they're "losers who have no idea what they're talking about". Who are you to say they have no idea? You like Good Charlotte...
"Tough. Don't listen." On the radio it's hard to avoid. Hell, my ex-girlfriend even used to make me listen to them, even though she knew how much I hated them.
Be honest, you hate 'em too. You're just a closet hater and you're too embarrassed to admit you don't like any of the songs.
>>By Sk8a H8a (Tuesday, 2 Nov 2004 09:54)
By OPINIONS I meant that Bitch Fit said "correct ForkInMyEye" and you cannot correct someone's OPINION.
Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. Do I like Good Charlotte? Yes. Do I think they are real punk? No. The "losers who dont know what they're talking about" are those who truly believe GC and those other bands out there today are truly punk, which the are not.
"Not manufactured... so what's with their drummer problem? "
Aaron was the drummer from the begining, but he quit to join his brother's band, Wakefield. Then they had Dusty who was just a temperary drummer, until they found Chris who is now they're pernament drummer. He was a fan beforehand and already knew the songs. "Why have none of the other members quit?" Aaron quit. As for the others...maybe because they enjoy what they're doing and don't give a crap what brainless morons like you think. Saying how much you hate them just gives them more attention.
"They dress like punks, yeah? So they look like punks. Without listening to their music, people could be forgiven for mistaking them for punks."
BUT THEY ARE NOT PUNK. People making those assumptions are making asses out of themselves. Laugh at them, and get over it.
"On the radio it's hard to avoid."
Uh...change to a different station? Did that ever occur to you?
>>By Squeegy (Tuesday, 2 Nov 2004 14:24)
Apart from the last comment, all of the things which I "corrected" were statements rather than opinions. I thought "They are very talented and they deserve a lot of credit." was just crying out for someone to argue with it. Do even you believe that?
I won't bother to argue with some of the things you've said to Sk8a H8a, since I have absolutely no idea where you're coming from, but for the radio quandary, it should be pointed out that in some places of work, this rubbish is frequently blasted on the radio and employees have no choice to listen to it. For someone who works in a fast food restaurant, I can imagine GC being an immense problem.
>>By Bitch Fit (Tuesday, 2 Nov 2004 17:57)
Alright, I can understand that it can be really annoying when you're somewhere where you don't have a choice. We I live, everyone is rap/hip-hpo obsessed, which I can't stand.
""They are very talented and they deserve a lot of credit." was just crying out for someone to argue with it. Do even you believe that?"
I like them, but that doesn't mean I think they're the best thing that ever happened to music and I'm totally obsessed with them, becaue I'm not. I think they have more talent than some other bands out there, but by no means do I think they are extremely talented musicians, althought I do think they're improving.
>>By Squeegy (Tuesday, 2 Nov 2004 18:30)
Okay. This is what i have to say one more time.. Bitch Fit- They are talented. billy is a great guitarist, paul is an awesome bassist, Chris is very well at drums, and the twins are good at singing. Therefore, they may not be talented as a group in ur opinion, but they are very talented. i know GC isnt punk. So what? They are still music. Let them dress however the hell they want to. its there decision not yours. And the chris thing? They met Chris before. Also, in my opinion, i think the first CD is the best. They were young and new and there music was good. Maybe not some of the lyrics, but "Thank you Mom" and "Dreamer" were very very well written songs.
>>By ForkInMyEye (Thursday, 18 Nov 2004 20:44)
I thought Benji "played" guitar. I don't deny that they are capable of playing what they have written, or what whoever has written for them, but they're not exactly playing stuff which is incredibly hard to play. I mean, how many different chords do they use? None of theyr songs have cool riffs or anything - none of it sounds good!
I also think that the new album is better than the other two, although it's still abysmal.
>>By Bitch Fit (Sunday, 21 Nov 2004 22:48)
Benji does play guitar,, but i think hes a better singer than a guitarist. I know there songs arent hard. I played some and picked up very quickly on the bass.. i like Good Charlotte.. no doubt about it.. i dont really care about the music.. just the lyrics.. such as SOS. Hold On. Thank you mom, Emotionless, Screamer, Change.. all of those i love so much. Its like when you hear a band and there voice suck but there instruments are awsome. They can play what they play very well... I couldnt tell you how many diff chords they use on the guitar but on the bass they only go down to about the 7th fret.. but i could be wrong.. havent played all the songs.. i like the bass chord in Predictable tho. Its rather tricky the way i learned it. but not at all hard. hmm. Well everyone is entitled to there own opinions so no one is really wrong or right.. but what im sick of is people saying "there sellouts, posers, media attentions, punk wannabees." ...god.. get the f* over it. God.. Its not there fault theyre on the media.. Ozzy was on TV all the time.. does that make him a sellout? Meddia attention? hes on MTV, VHI and all that stuff. he even has a sitcom. They are not posers, for the fact that they are who they are... noone really knows truly a lot about them.. punk wannabees tho? they never said they were punk or that they wanted to be punk... if you had a band and u wanted to be heard and the only way to do that is by getting signed to a record company and they want to make a video and post it on MTV.. its not your decision... its the companys.. would u do it? even Atreyu and Kittie are on the media.. FATA and Coheed and Cambria.. every band you listen to on the radio .... does that make them media attention?
>>By ForkInMyEye (Monday, 22 Nov 2004 21:40)
The point you make about Ozzy is a bit pointless because he is indeed a sell-out, or at least Sharon is. Good Charlotte are even bigger sell-outs, because they exploit a lack of talent and a stupid image.
Beats me how you can like the lyrics, because they're ridiculously clichéd and simplistic.
>>By Bitch Fit (Saturday, 27 Nov 2004 14:50)
hm.. You are very argumental arent you? If i made a point about Ozzy would that make the point pointless? Im talking about when he was in Black Sabbath and now hes on all these TV shows. Im not a big fan of Black Sabbath but i wouldnt call them SellOuts. But didnt you just admit to me earlier that GoodCharlotte had talent? and that u didnt care about there image? Clothing is clothing. Doesnt care who the person is. You said some of there songs were pretty good. So how can u say now that they are cliched? They may be simplistic, but that is what i like about them THey arent hard to understand. I mean, Good Charlotte isnt just for teenagers or adults. They are trying to keep a good image for the kids also. look at MurderDolls, they have a song that is all about fuckin killing ur self and slitting ur wrist. Does that go with there image? Just because Good Charlotte dresses the way they want to or is exploited the way they want to shouldnt be a reason about there music or why people dont like the band, so there, i can be argumental also.

Hey Good Charlotte ROCK!!

. "Benji didnt show up, which was dissapointing to me, but I understood that he had a life, but then we started hearing him and a girl having sex. Thats right they were both yelling things like rape rape rape, and fuck you, continuasly. Finally he came out after everyone had met the band and gave us all the finger. "
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE?

good charlotte....they have sold out so much...what the fuck is this new song...IT FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE SOME USHER SHIT...pisses me off...

Good Charlotte's a fucking joke...

no they're not
>>By Mekko (Thursday, 9 Dec 2004 13:16)
i heard they're just a bunch of trust fund babies. they can't ruin punk rock anymore than everyone else already has.
>>By jimakane (Friday, 10 Dec 2004 20:33)
Actually they were pretty poor growing up.
>>By Squeegy (Friday, 10 Dec 2004 21:23)
nope. i heard that they just sing about being poor. some friends of friends of mine went to school with 'em. said they were a bunch of rich kids. don't know all the details. i just know a lot of people were pissed when they got all popular and found out these guys were sayin' they grew up poor. i guess it doesn't matter anyways...... ya do what ya gotta do to make it....and lying is the best way.
