The suckyness of GOOD CHARLOTTE

[PsychoFreak]

STUPID IDIOTIC LOSERS HAVING THE NERVES TO CALL THEMSELVES "PUNKS" WHEN THEY PLAY ON TOTP AND STICK TO GENERIC MALL MUSIC HAVING THERE OWN LITTLE CLOTHLINE THAT THEY DONT SHUT UP ABOUT AND WHEN SOMEONE ASKS THEM QUESTIONS THEY BE STUPID COZ THEY HAVE NUTHING TO SAY............lets kill em.........

Nah, i'm kiddin (and i am very sorry for all the caps, i cant be bothered 2 right it again)

I sent a letter to kerrang! (a uk music mag)......
For The Lovely People At Kerrang! Mag...

Thank you for the Good Charlotte interview (K! 963, The People Vs Good Charlotte). Thank you for making me laugh until my ribs hurt. I’m sorry but OH MY GOD! When Davina Warnock asked “You were threatening to have a scrap with that scouse indie band The Coral because they called you a boy band with spikes: which part of that comment rang false for you?” They obviously had nothing to say, because they answered dumb stuff like “I like scuba diving” and “I have never heard of them” and when Sean Garrard said, “Why do you mention your Made clothing line in every interview?” They said, “I don’t even know what that is”. It seams Good Charlotte can’t give a good enough answer to anything they don’t want to talk about. They gave crap answers to loads of questions and they suck.

By the way, what the hell are the lyrics about? “Boys will laugh at girls when their not funny” what the hell does that mean? They are soooo talented, making up random stuff just so it rhymes! It just seams like Good Charlotte are just another Pop band wanting to be a “Punk band”. It just makes you think about all the other amazing bands that are way better than them who have gotten hardly anywhere. KiTTIE have had a real hard time, but still not many have heard of them, and they are 1000000 times better that Good Charlotte.

James Gold, Hove


Who agrees?

[Grebdron]

I've only heard two songs of theirs. And I hope that's all I ever hear.

They are HORRIBLE.

[badberry]

Eh, some of their stuff is kind of catchy. I don't mind it. It is sad though that a supposed punk band shamelessly promotes its clothing at every chance. And it seems they've adopted the blink 182 approach: just say random dumb stuff and people will think you're funny or crazy or something. Oh well whatever. Pop punk is ok, but distinction between GC, Simple Plan, blink 182 etc and Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise etc is quite clear.

I think what he's trying to say is that guys will do anything to get girls or something. He's just not saying it very well. Their lyrics definately aren't their strong suit.

[quoth_the_raven]

hmmm, well i am not a huge GC fan, but its nice to see someone else on the boards reads kerrang and therefore must have some taste in music ;)

[someguy]

Urg. Good Charlotte is a horrible band. Whoever said that they are just another boy band with spikes is a genius. That is really what they are. The music companies are noticing tha punk music has a huge fanbase so they're hiring "punk" bands to their music labels and giving them mega success. Of course they make them to have really horrible songs and such. Sure i don't like punk music but punk music songs are better than THAT. I have a friend who obsesses over them and thinks the singers are so hot and stuff. I just tell them that she'll drop them when the next thing comes along like she always does. But she always disagrees. Oh well. Maybe GOOD music will be mainstream someday. It used to be.

[Tom Samborski]

I agree, Good Charlotte is a lame, lame, LAME band.

[Reigh Kaufman]

I LOVE GOOD CHARLOTTE.

Which ones are they again?

Dont mention the those words in front of me! I dont really like Good Charlotte but I loathe Blazing Squad, they are possibly thee worst band...ever! They have like, 10 members! What decent band has 10 members for fucks sake???

[ofmknockoff]

I only cared about Good Charolette because they were from my area and my older sister knew them. Now I see how much they suck at almost everyhting they do. Look at there guitarist, I'm not saying that I don't dress somewhat abnormal but whoever needs 3-foot high liberty spike hair extensions has some serious self-esteem issues. LeVel-27 (the drummers clothing line) does have some good clothes though.

ive got nothing to say hear that i havent already said. keep up the good fight PsychoFreak.

[the p&j experiance]

I...hate...this...band...so...much

I write for my school newspaper and I did an editorial about how the people who think they're punks are dumbasses because they don't even know what punk is because it seems that people just think punk is a fashion style, when it is soooo much more then that. And in the article I blasted the shit out of Good Charlotte, so many people were pissed, but then this one faggot wrote an article that appeared after mine talking about how following a trend shows individuality...:confused: But he is one of those punk bitches that I made fun of.

[skaaddict3303]

i don't like good charlotte. i am not offended. i have dissed gc fans in the past. sorry if i offend you when i offend others. :cool: yeah.... dig it.

[DescendingAngel]

i wore my jacket at work the other day because the a/c was too high. it's a black suit jacket with an independents patch and a few horror punk band and horror movie pins on it. this guy comes up to me, and asks if, because of my jacket, i like good charlotte. i gave him a look and said "ew" so he questioned my response. all i said was "because they suck and because they think they're punk, and by calling themselves that, they are leading the kids to think they are and essentially killing the scene."he looked at me like he didn't know what i was talking about and walked away with a sad look on his face. i laughed.

the end.

[Kastman]

The dungeon family has heaps o members....
I like good charlotte, well som of their songs anyways.

[Bullet Tooth Tony]

Fucking detest them and their music. Not surprising they're popular, everyone I hate is popular. :rolleyes:

[JasonSlasher]

When their first album came out, I thought that they were okay, but definately nothing special. I'd heard it all before, but I'd pick it over, say, Simple Plan. It seems like they just weren't as known then (but I could be wrong). When I heard the single for the next album (which I thought could have been a good idea), I was disgusted. Who writes this shit? As soon as the "lifestyles of the rich and famous, they're always complaining" lyric came up I immediately shut it off. Oh, real deep, guys. All rich people are whiny, selfish bastards who don't care about anyone else. I'm sure that the wholesome, middle-class, rebellious existence that you stand for is still the way to live now.

Oh well. Like mentioned earlier, I seem to hate everything that's popular. Not because it's popular, because it sucks. I think that right now TV (reality shows have gone beyond ridiculous) and and Music are at it's low points. There is still some good stuff out there, I know, but the ones that get the majority of shameless media attention just piss me off. The whole punk thing has been commercialized too. If your gonna have the "punk" attitude, then stop whoring it for money.

At least the whole pop thing is starting to die off. I just don't bother with MTV anymore.

Same here dude, I like punk music and the other rock stuff but I just hate these guys. Sad thing is, mostly people I know who like them just nod their head slightly and don't jump up and down like I and many others do when our favourite bands play. Poor people :( I pity them.

[SimplePlanGurl8]

I guess I am in the minority on this one but I am a huge GC fan their music is catchy and good imo. I have never ever read or seen an article where they actually call themselves punk. And for another fact they do not mention Made in every article actually I have never read an article where they tlak about made unless asked too. Minor Threat The Sex Pistols and The Clash and The Misfits are a few of my favorite bands by the way. I know many people are extremely annoyed with GC's guitarist Benji he does seem sorta out of place with GC considering he listens to The Misfits and The Casualties he is kinda the reason gc looks like such punk wannabes. Joel listens to stuff like The Beastie Boys and does not consider himself to be punk. Billy likes Micheal Jackson and Paul is really unknown and neither of them like the spotlight (joel and benji are the ones who are on the tv all the time) their videos are played on TRL that isn't their fault that their music is liked by alot of people and sometimes people call them punks but they have not called themselves that.

Slipknot has 9 members, they should really just hire another member so they could be double digits. Slipknot ripped off of early BILE, with all the people and masks and stuff.

actually i have seen both of those bands live, and can say that neither one of them could ever be called a good band. Slipknot are terrible live and are just a little one-dimensional to begin with. and Kittie just suck. i hate to say that with backing it up at all, but their songs are crap, they were crap live and i hate the girls voice with a passion. so they suck.

here endeth the lesson

;);)

[Squid Vicious]

Is there some rule that to be a Good Charlotte fan, you have to be no more than 15 years of age and have an IQ of not much more than that? Did I miss the meeting about this? I mean, from my observations, that seems to be the majority of Good Charlotte fans.

[Frank the Tank]

I hate them with a passion and all these gay ass pop punk bands are just boy bands with a guitar.

[Gollum]

Well, technically, it kind of is. All the stuff on TRL is manufactured to meet what the youth of america want. GC puts out this crap, so therefore it kind of is their fault. And do you think they hate being in that stupid top 10 thing? No, for they are probably drowning in a sea of money right now.........

And I hate them so.

[Kastman]

I know i am signing my death wish here but:

It's time for a sarcastic remark.....


"Yeah good charlotte's music sounds shit, but Radioheads music sounds reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll good"

[Pulpfellas87]

Sort of ironic that a band with that song "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" is now a band that is rich and famous.

[PsychoFreak]

very true pulp. very true

[PsychoFreak]

Oh just 2 say 2 everyone who was remotely interested that my letter did NOT get into kerrang! music mag.

[the p&j experiance]

"Yeah good charlotte's music sounds shit, but Radioheads music sounds reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll good"

I hate both bands, so it's all good.

No I have never heard of that rule.... Well I guess your 'observations' are incorrect because I happen to know people in their late 30's-40's who like GC also at their concert there were some elderly women who looked around the age of 60. By the way my IQ is much higher then that. :p

i agree. my mom loves good charolett.

[TheAxeGrinder]

I don't mind Good Charlotte. I understand where they're coming from and all, and at least they're better than some of the alternatives out there.

[ofmknockoff]

Sorry to hear that.

My sister's a big fan and I constantly have to listen to the wretched noise that emintates from her room. She definetely falls into the catoagory of the young, low IQ pop-punk fan.

But as bad as GC is, at least their not A Simple Plan, if you haven't heard them yet, it's quite awful. Oh and talk about the kids at the Warped Tour that were at the main stage to see them...

[Frank the Tank]

My sister loves all of the shit bands: TATU, Good Charlotte, Eminem, Pink, Evanescence, Christina Aguielera, and Kelly Clarkson. She dislikes Simple Plan though.

[PsychoFreak]

even though i am a "goth" or a "punk" i still dont mind pink.

[PsychoFreak]

speakin o' wich, what IS everybody here? In UK we have like catagories u hav 2 be in depending the way u dress. (it sucks, coz i get ppl coming up me going URGH! GOTH!)

It might be different to other places in the UK, i live in the south...

Townie- Addidas, Nike, big gold earings

Trev- Burbery, Fred Perry, Fcuk

Skater- quicksilver, DC, (all sk8 makes)

Punk- Kinda Goth but without the heavy make up and stuff, usually hoodies and real baggy jeans (flares, criminal damage)

Goth (no xplination nesseccery)

Unknown- You wear what u like, when u like.

If i had 2 be anythin it would be a punk, i wear baggy jeans, wrist collars, black t shirts with slipknot and korn on them, Converse shoes, and if i feel special a dog collar.

If You dont feel confertable sayin what u r, plz dont. I just feel the majority of u seem 2 be punks so i was wonderin....

[Kastman]

if i was catogorised in uk i would be a skater or punk but the truth is, i only like the clothes, i cant skate and im no punk...

[John Dark]

It's just music for people who don't want to make an effort.

Hey PF, that's great that you can be categorized so easily. Most people in the US who have at least a shred of self-respect would reject such one-dimensional stereotypes and would in fact be quite insulted if you asked them to pigeonhole themselves in that way.

I don't like to catagorized, mostly because I don't fit into one catagory but I have been called "goth" alot so I guess that's how people see me. I would never consider myself anything in particular though.

Surprisingly, I have to agree with Dark on this one....people's obsession with labels is so stupid... although I think I'm a little past the demographic where thats such a big deal.

btw, does it really bug anyone else when people use the number '2' instead of 'to'?

I agree. Simple Plan is way, way worse.

[Pulpfellas87]

I think it's bullshit how people can be categorized by what kind of clothes they wear. I know people who have to buy all these certain kinds of clothes and look like a "punk" or a "skater". Now hold on a goddam minute...

...I always defined "preps" as people who care too much about what kind of clothes they buy. If a kid buys a bunch of quiksilver and dc shirts (not because he skates, but because he has to LOOK like a skater) I would have to think that kid is pretty pathetic.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR CLOTHES. And sorry if I offended anyone but I have some very strong feelings against stereotypes-by-clothes. Wear whatever's cheap, comfortable, and is what you like. Don't buy clothes to fit in with a "category". Those kinds of stereotypes end up forming groups against each other.

course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong

You took the words right out my mouth. I think catagorizing things such as punk by the clothing is really a contradiction of the whole idea of "punk". That's really just one example in particular that comes to mind though, I agree whole-heartedly with you on the whole thing... a pair of Nikes doesn't make you a certain kind of person.

[PsychoFreak]

I agree with the both of you, in my town people get betten up because of their "catagory". I get people cumming up to me shouting GOTH and i get abuse for what i wear. (mainly the towinies start this)

[Kastman]

I get the feeling people might think (with my last post about the vclothes i wear) that i wear em to try and look like a skater or a punk or whatever, but i don't care..... cuz im not a punk or a skater and i dont intend on being either, i just think the clothes they were are cool... and screw everyone who has a problem with that.

[BadCoverVersion]

Hmmm, Good Charlotte anyone?

Stay with me now...;)

I'd just like to say, my five year old nephew has rejected the spiky funsters.

He'd rather boogie on down to The White Stripes or Electric 6.

The fuckers can't even convince a 5 year old kiddie.

Never mind that one...the newest single "Boys and Girls" is the worst song they've released by far.

[HannibalGuy]

If I get into how much I hate this band, all the blood vessels in my brain will pop, and I will be sent into a coma! Bengi or whatever the fuck his name is, looks like a foggot lady bug! On second thought, I will have a heart attack if I even think about how much I hate poop-punk!

[Kastman]

I'm sick of Good Charlotte now, I used to like them, little things, motivation procalamation were really cool songs but this album ha s been played way too much on radios and televisions, its stupid now.

I know this topic is about Shitty Charlette, but I will pigenhole myself. I personaly do not think I'm any of those catagories. However, many people think I'm a goth. I get people comming up to me all the time and asking me if I am gothic. I have nothing against goths, they are very nice people, I am just not one. I relly dont think I'm a punk. I wouls call myself a Biker. But, I am a biker. I have a Harley. I wear Harley Davidson boots and a black denim jacket. I also have the leather gloves.
