Good Charlotte Band • Page 29

It’s a great album

 

Chronicles is middle of the road for me. Nowhere near as good as its predecessors imo

 

There are multiple truly godawful songs on that album

 

Last time I listened to it I think I determined there were like two keepers on that album for me lol

 

There are definitely some awful ones but a some really good ones as well (and some id consider solid).

 

I like that album, but I’m not a fan of the… *checks notes*… pro-life song at the end

 

I never really thought about it before, but looking again at the lyrics now, how do you know it is pro-life (it could be though) and not, say, pro-animal rights (“Open cages and stop their luxurious murder”)? Not trying to argue, I’m just wondering if you know something I don’t about this song.

Not that it would shock me, it was a “pro-life” song era. Happy Birthday by Flipsyde was a legit hit here. Though I guess that was more of a personal story rather than a blanket statement.

 

Ghost of You from Chronicles is a top 3 GC track for me. I really love those swelling keyboards in the chorus when the guitars drop out. This was the direction I wish the next few records had taken.

Walk Away, Secrets, SOS and We Believe (straight cheese but I love it) are the others I usually revisit from that record.

 

I think ghost of you might be one of the worst tracks in their discography

 

Idk about that, GMR has some real bad tracks, but it’s not great

 

Mountain is one of the best songs on the album

 

I don’t know that for sure either haha. Just the impression that I get. But then again, I’ve never had to knock on wood.

 

Checking notes without actually having any notes is a felony.

 

I feel like they worked with PETA and I know that one of their members is really into animal rights so I think it really could be that

 

Great

 

respect the opinion, it’s always been the one I’ve went back to. It always gave Silverchair Neon Ballroom vibes, which makes sense because Billy is a huge Silverchair fan.

 

i feel bad because its cool billy had such a big part in it. Just never got into it.

 

If GC toured, would they be playing 5-10k venues (Yellowcard + AAR) or 2k venues (Boys Like Girls)

 

Probably 2k unless it was a co-headliner

 

I think they have a bigger draw than YC or AAR. They charted more singles on pop radio than either of them and they haven't done a full-scale tour since maybe 2018 or 2019? It sounds like they don't really have the desire to do a big tour but it'd be cool to see them do 5-10 shows next summer as part of a package tour.

Something like Good Charlotte, Eve 6, American Hi-Fi, and Boys Like Girls would probably be able to pull 5k in major markets.

 

Bring wakefield on tour too! Lol

 

This makes me miss them even harder. Hoping for a tour in the next few years

 

I remember thinking "This is the direction they should be going on their next album." And I ended up being WAYYYY off lol

 

super jealous but this awesome! Maybe preparation for WWWY?
