Matt Good is a fu**ing genius. Hey Matt, I think you should make a movie! Whether it be low budget or not scripted at all.

I love Matt good's music, not necessarily because everything he does is genious, but because it's honest, raw and makes me feel. and how refreshing it is to have a musician who speaks his mind and doesn't give you the candy coated version of reality. It is literally painful to watch all of these "artists" being interviewed, and all they do is say the same thing over and over again, it's such horsehit, i'd hear a depressing truth rather than some bullshit concoction anyday.

Matt Good is awsome.. I got to be an extra in the new video shoot "Weapon" and I personally thought he was soo cool! His new album will kick a**! His new band members are also great guys.

matt good is one straight up brutely honest guy. i love his songs, they put me in a mood of reality to the extent i cant even explain. the "mood" i guess, i love the guy.. pure gold:)

matt good is one of the few people that sees reality for what it is or at least how i see the world...i think that's what attracts me most to his music....i can actually relate to it in a lot of ways...i've been a fan since the beginning....kt

Viva la revolucion, eh, comrades?
Just reading through these message threads and thought that I would offer a few comments.
First, MGB and Matthew Good Band are defunct... we should stop using these references. From now on, "Matthew Good" only.
Second, new album is scheduled for early 2003... late February is my best guess... just shy of 18 months following release of "Audio of Being."
Third, I, too, am a very great fan of Matt's work. Both his lyrics and the imagery of the videos (including "Weapon") are very insightful and unlike most artists today, offer social commentary. Said another way, they make you think about the world around you. And they're harmonically complex; complex just as Matt is.
I am pleased that Matt will continue to record in the future (hopefully well beyond his obligations to Universal Music), and look forward to many great tunes and lyrics from him.
As you know, Rico was a short man... :)

Keep rocking on:)

My friends don't like Matthew Good.But not one of them has graduated high school so I have to tell them that his music is for somewhat smarter people.I love the fact that he is his own man and his songs are the best.
>>By wpgwayne (Tuesday, 10 Dec 2002 18:52)
I think Matthew Good is brilliant. His music really speaks to me and I find myself questioning the way the world works after listening to his music. His videos are awesome because he just doesn't present several scantily clad women to try to distract you from his message. His songs convey messages about real issues that face us as a society. He truly is a musical genius in my opinion because he can convey his message in a music style that is embraced by so many fans. Keep it up Matt Good and I can't wait for the new album. His albums are the only ones which I buy instead of just downloading.

MATT GOOD MAKES THE BEST MUSIC EVER ! his lyrics really make you think and they way he makes his videos, it's amazing . it's so complex but it's on the same level as you are . it's not corny crap like alot of today's so called " artists " ( which they are not ) it's actual music with spellbinding lyrics that are out of this world ! it's all good ! ;)

Fuck yeah, I don't know what else to say, because everyone above pretty much just summed it up, but yeah, I thoroughly enjoy everything about Matthew Good's work, the music, the lyrics, his writing style. So much better than some of that bullshit excuse for music that's out there nowadays.

I got the wonderful chance to see Matt Good live last Septemeber at the London Fairgrounds. Absoluteley the best Live show I have been to. Bif Naked(opening act) and Flash Light Brown(Opening opening act) weren't bad either. Matt told us to go liberate some Ponies from the stables and I damn well actually considered it. o.O Something about him and the way he speaks I guess... anyways...
I'm somewhat of a collector of any of his Live songs (sadly I can not pay him for these as he doesn't have a live CD out and he NEEDS to put one out) The Live versions I have already are Rico, Giant, Haven't slept in years, Generation X-wing, Apparitions, and Change of Seasons. The one I REALLY want is from his London Concert.. He did a slow version of the Future is X-Rated and it was absoluley spectacular. I know when he does something like this it's more or less to reward the people that came to the concert but none the less.. I want a copy of that song. IF anyone can help me out.. please do so... Hell.. maybe I should start a petition to show Matt Good that people really want a live Album. More on that later maybe...
Everyone has a God to Kill for.... They all just have different names.

The new album is, in fact, due out feb 18, and should be a grand event for all to attend. Unfortunately, there will not be a gala or circus-like party for the release, but I will see what I can do to set up a signing of some sort.
Cheers,
MG

So much about Matt has already been said, there not much left to say. He is my favourite artist because not only is he extremly talented in all forms of music (writing, playing) but he is one of the only true "artists" out there. What he creates is all his own, no one can do what he does. I'm not here to say that he's perfect, or "the best" or better than anyone else. His music is timeless. People who do not know of him ask me why I love his music so much and who he sounds like. The truth is that I can't explain exactly why and I can't compare him to anyone else. After reading "The Night Opus" countless and countless times, I have decided that there is only one word to describe the art of Matthew Good, Rapture. This may not be the correct, term but the best things in life are inexplainable anyways. From myself and all the fans, Thank-You Matt. Even though you create you music for you, it's pretty cool that it effects so many people in so many ways. Please keep writing, some of us have become pretty attached to your music. Bye.

I am so f*cking happy that there is at least one credible Canadian artist out there. I am sick of being represented by the inadequate sh*te being pumped out by CAN-CON [ie. 'punk' bands that don't know what real Punk IS (Sum41 and GOB to name a few), Rock bands that all sound the same (too many to mention), Avril Lavigne (don't get me started), et al]. It is refreshing to see an artist who is good at what he does AND has a brain and a caustic tongue to back it up. Plus it's nice to see a supporter of Arsenal on this side of the ocean.
Keep it up and make me proud.
>>By Terminal Lunacy (Thursday, 9 Jan 2003 18:31)
will the next album be released in the states?
>>By sledgehead (Friday, 10 Jan 2003 01:16)
Matt's music is brilliant, and contrary to an opinion he expressed at the Weapon video shoot, I don't think you *can* separate the man from his art (note to Matt: of course, I always thought Picasso was largely over-rated. Dali on the other hand was *way* cool). I hold Matt in the highest esteem for his intelligence, passion, integrity and honesty in these politically correct/wouldn't-say-sh*t-if-your-mouth-was-full-of-it times. As a single parent I don't have much discretionary income, but Matt can rest assured that this fan will always support his art with her entertainment dollars.
It was mentioned to me at the video shoot that there would be a show at the Commodore in January. I've searched on an almost daily basis but still haven't seen anything about it. Is there anything in the works? Any plans for an all-ages show? Also, Matt talked a little about his history with (his current band members) Christian, Rich, and Pat, but didn't elaborate on Mark, the keyboards player. I'd be interested to find out more about his background as he is very talented, charismatic, funny, and warm. Does anyone know who he is? I'm really glad that Matt has been able to surround himself with such excellent people. He totally deserves it. Of course, he wasn't willing to settle for less...
Thank you again Matt for allowing your fans to participate in the making of your video; despite the discomfort of the environment, it was the highlight of my (and my daughter's) year. We are counting the days until the release of Avalanche, and we sincerely hope there is a signing we can attend.
Cheers

I was watching a special about music downloading music, and it occured to me that all of the people who defended claimed that they were tired of buying CD's where there were only one or two good songs and therest sucked. Here's a tip, starting listening to better music! People think that there are no more true and credible Artists anymore, and that music today is terrible. It just isnt true.
Matthew Good is a prime example. A truely gifted songwriter, a man whose music and lyrics are brutally honest and hideously beautiful. I can help but feel something everytime i listen to any of his songs, each one speaks to me in a different way. Its amazing that more people havent caught on to this yet. The most underrated man in music today.
Cant wait for the new album.

I think matt good knows what he's talking about in his music and also when he talks public. His music is awsome and he gives his thoughts in a good fashion. Yea anyways i think i speak for alot of people when i say we want to see him still maiking music and coming out with new and fresh ideas for a nice while AHEAD.
