Good Charlotte Band • Page 33

LFG!

 

Isn't this the same teaser they dropped prior to Youth Authority? After their first hiatus?

 

No idea, is it actually? lol

 

I think so

 

Yes!! I miss Good Charlotte big time!! I saw them 4 times live, last time I saw them was on their first comeback tour at the O2 institute in Birmingham with some unknown band at the time called Waterparks as main support!!

 

gotta do a discog run.

 

Same chills i got from the one more time video, how good is being manipulated by nostalgia. Hyped af.

 

As much as I hold these guys dear based on my history with their 2 first albums and I'd be excited to see them live, I do find their peak output far patcher than those of their early 00s peers. But the 5 track opening run on their self titled rivals any similar sequence from that era.

 

How long before we get some concrete album/tour details? I need it!

 

Their first two albums which are perfect, imo.

 

They started an instagram broadcast channel so I’d expect announcements sooner rather than later

 

LFG! I need this!

 

I actually forgot how much I was into Good Morning Revival until I threw it on for a long car journey the other month.

I know these guys got some slack in the 00s for being generic and sellouts, but, I’d definitely take a 100 Good Charlotte type bands than some of the shit played on the radio today.

 

I posted a few years ago about how I gave up on this band after the Chronicles of Life and Death and the singles for Revival, and I finally listened to the albums after that recently. Going back through again, and am really enjoying Cardiology. I know plenty of you like Chronicles and Revival, but for me this feels like such a great swing back on track, probably would have gotten a lot of play from me over the years if I hadn't stopped following them

 

The crazy thing about Cardiology is that they scrapped almost the entire album because of how the mixes came out with Howard Benson. He was just trying to focus on getting to pop radio or something like that. So they booted him and started over.

There was an unreleased song that found its way onto the internet within the past few years called First Plane Home. It was listed on promotional tracklists but never made the final album for some reason. I cant seem to find it on YouTube at the moment, so if anyone is interested in hearing it let me know.

 

Discogs run compact disc style

 

Hook me up pls

 

I listened to all of them a lot, even the ones I don't really love (Good Morning Revival), but somehow I only listened to Generation X like three times. It just doesn't grab me at all. I loved Youth Authority though, so it's not because it is a new record.

 

No greatest remixes? fake fan




jk

 

I lost it :(

 

great tune

 

were any of these bonus tracks from that scrapped album?

 

Some of those are just acoustic covers Benji did. If I remember right, he actually posted unmixed version of them on the band website during recording at one point. I don't believe Crash, Catherine, or Accident Prone were on the original album. I always kind of liked Accident Prone though. Sex on the Radio was definitely part of the scrapped album. I'm sure the version that made the album is different though. They talked about that song in interviews prior to starting over (I actually think it's the weakest song on the album). There are a few other songs mentioned in various interviews that never got released. This story talks about a song called "Love Ain't Easy."

Good Charlotte's Cardiology Addresses 'Conditions Of The Heart'

And here's a bit more about why they scrapped the album. I can't imagine a producer messing with 1979. That is a great song.

Interviews: Benji Madden (Good Charlotte)

There was also that interview they gave where they said the album would be filling the void left by Blink-182. I think that was before scrapping the original album. The thing to remember about this album is that it's about the time where they have acknowledged that they were starting to burn out and just go through the motions. That's why they ended up going on that original hiatus for 6 years.

 

Sex On The Radio should’ve remained scrapped

And it was a single in some countries!
