Day

Nov 07, 2020

It's hard to talk about childhood trauma. It's hard to talk about depression. It's hard to talk about anxiety. And we thought - I wonder if we just open up our subconscious and the things that we think about and hide from people every day and just let them come out in some of these lyrics.

Grace
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think about people whose lives maybe hadn't turned out as well as me and Joel's lives, and I just think it's just pure luck and the grace of God. I also think we were lucky to have each other as brothers.

Being
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's really hard to do this life - to be a human being alone.

Just
|
Nov 07, 2020

All we can do is just think about what we can put into the world - not really kind of what we can get out of it.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think that 'Prayers' is a really interesting one because we wrote it well before the border crisis was happening, and in that first verse, I was actually writing about the experience of me and my wife's relationship and finding someone who you feel safe with and you relate to and can ponder existence with.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've started to see records as just a snapshot, a portrait of where you were at at that time. And if you're comfortable with that, sometimes it's like an old high school year book picture - it makes you blush a little bit, but you gotta learn to really appreciate each stage of your life and where you're at.

Bad Review
|
Nov 07, 2020

I prefer a good review. A bad review that dismisses us... I take it with a grain of salt. I go, 'Okay, they didn't even try.'

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

We were all 16 and 17. When you're that age, you're just daydreaming all day. We had bands we loved - Green Day, Weezer, a lot of bands in the '90s - and we just wanted to have fun. We didn't overthink it too much.

Plane
|
Nov 07, 2020

I didn't fly on a plane until I was 19.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like, if you're writing the same songs you were writing when you were 17 in your 30s, something's wrong. As a grown man, you're more confident, and you have less to prove.

Band
|
Nov 07, 2020

Anyone who's followed our band through the years has heard about the teenage angst.

Nov 07, 2020

Straight up, I'm from Waldorf, Maryland, you guys. Let's not forget that.

Face
|
Nov 07, 2020

I got a little tattoo on my face. I'll never be able to work another real job, so I consider that to be kinda forcing myself to stick to music.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think the soul of Good Charlotte is just feeling good.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think what defines our band is really that, you know, we're just living our dream and making records that we love and having a good time.

Big One
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Nevermind' by Nirvana. That was a big one for me.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nothing worries me in life anymore. When you find that best friend, that love, all your worries kind of go away.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

That's just the music industry. They always want you to write something like the one that was popular.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think, a lot of times, people think they know what they want, but what they really want is something that's genuine.

Critics
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think Good Charlotte has definitely always been for the underdogs and the misfits. We haven't ever really been the critics' darlings.

Ideas
|
Nov 07, 2020

Novelty always sparks ideas.

Grow
|
Nov 07, 2020

The least punk thing I ever did was open a money market account. Blue chip stocks. Mutual funds. They're a very safe and dependable way to grow your money long-term.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

We grew up in the middle of nowhere. We didn't have a rich uncle in the music industry or some contact through someone that our dad worked with. And we went into the world blindly, and just through believing, dreaming, and working hard, Good Charlotte came to fruition.

Loving
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are so many bands I am starting to see: Waterparks, Potty Mouth - they're all garage bands that started in the garage. Kids are loving them.

Guitar
|
Nov 07, 2020

Today, somewhere in America, there's a kid who's got a laptop and a guitar and a couple of his friends he's putting together to play drums and bass, who's gonna change the way we say things, the way that we dress, the way we view things, the music we hear, everything.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really love 'Cold Song.' If anyone really listens to that song and thinks about their life, there's a lot of good material deep down in there. I think if you listen to the lyrics, it may take you on some sort of a journey.

Nov 07, 2020

I think we live in a time where we can all distract ourselves from facing the pain or the reality of all of our lives - tons of ways to hide, to kill pain, to deal with pain.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

Hopefully, the people that would look at a Good Charlotte record and dismiss it for maybe what they think is a certain kind of content, if they do discover something meaningful, then it's a nice surprise. I like those kinds of contradictions.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like we've had a front row seat for the last 20 years to watching culture and youth.

Nov 07, 2020

As hopeful as I am, there are some times in my life when I get to low points. Luckily, I still have music to get me through things.

Nov 07, 2020

It really is draining: when you sing a song, it means so much to you, and every time you sing it, you feel it ,and these emotions come back.

Person
|
Nov 07, 2020

To write a song and have it embraced by someone, even one person, I don't think that's something that everyone gets to experience.

Nov 07, 2020

You don't know how a song is gonna do; you don't know where it's gonna live. You know if it feels real, if it feels authentic.

Health
|
Nov 07, 2020

One thing I never worry about is money, because I have my health and my family, and I can always go back to work.

Fine

Nov 07, 2020

We've all had a million day jobs. We got by fine then.

Place
|
Nov 07, 2020

The songwriting process is different on every record because you're never coming from the same place when you're writing.

Gonna
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I have kids, they're definitely gonna work.

Emotional
|
Nov 07, 2020

We've made a lot of party music; we're definitely not Thom Yorke. But there's also depth to our records; we get emotional.

Little
|
Nov 07, 2020

A lot of our fans have grown up, but they've stuck by us for the songs that dig a little deeper.

Band
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good Charlotte fit in a lot of different genres - it's one of the coolest things our band has been able to do.

Nov 07, 2020

Joel? He's the rock star! When you see Joel step on stage... he's born to be a rock star.

Music

Nov 07, 2020

Our music contradicts our look.

Our
|
Nov 07, 2020

We can guarantee you that 15 to 30 seconds of any of our songs are going to be good. The rest, we can't guarantee.

Hear People
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a kid, you're like, 'Do they have Preakness everywhere or just in Maryland?' You hear people talking about it, and it was like, 'Oh, everyone goes there to hang out and party.' I didn't even know it was a race until I got older.

Man
|
Nov 07, 2020

Maryland is such a special place, man... You miss that warm, friendly love. It ain't like that everywhere else in the world.

Fun
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really was thinking a lot about the energy on the first couple records that we ever put out and how young and excited we were. I just really wanted to make it more fun than anything.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's this wave of new pop-punk bands that has come out that's bigger than ever. I'm really glad that we got to be a part of helping push that forward, if we did at all. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Catchy
|
Nov 07, 2020

What we're most known for is the catchy choruses and the big hooks.

Nov 07, 2020

You've got to think, when we started our band, none of us had a computer until we were 21.

Deep
|
Nov 07, 2020

I wouldn't be surprised if this album cycle for 'Cardiology' is the funnest couple years we ever see. We've made all of our mistakes; we've kind of learned. Now we know what to avoid, we know what to embrace, we know how to take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.

Positive
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Life Changes' is a song that we feel really connects to the spirit of our band and our fans. It's got that positive vibe we always want to put out there, and the message - no matter how many times you get knocked down, always get back up - will forever be part of the GC story.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of the most harmful things in the music industry is 'record-by-committee,' where 10 people from the label gather around, and they make you write a 100 songs and decide which one's a hit. That takes the inspiration out of it.

Decide
|
Nov 07, 2020

The youth is always going to decide the future.

Business
|
Nov 07, 2020

Prince led by example. As prolific as he was as an artist, he was just as courageous in the business.

Value
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's important for artists to value themselves - whatever that means. Everyone's going to take that in a different way. If you don't value yourself, you will be bought and sold.

Nobody
|
Nov 07, 2020

The one thing that nobody else in the world can touch is the coffee in Australia.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Coffee in Italy and some places in Europe is great, but there's just something about Australian coffee.

Nov 07, 2020

When we were younger, we fought, but that's what kids do, right?

Dress
|
Nov 07, 2020

When we were babies, mum had to dress one of us in one colour, like blue and green, and she'd put a little mark on our hand or toe... she definitely had to sort us out.

Guy

Nov 07, 2020

I'm a really easy guy to read.

Loved
|
Nov 07, 2020

Know

The Madden Brothers is definitely not a side project.

Lyrics
|
Nov 07, 2020

All of our lyrics are really personal, and we get a lot of personal letters.

Door
|
Nov 07, 2020

The guy who runs Big Day Out doesn't like us for some reason; I don't even know why. We do all the other festivals, and we enquired about it. Who knows, maybe he'll eventually crack, but maybe not. We're just going to keep knocking on his door late at night saying, 'Come on, dude!'

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

Every time we go to New Zealand, it gets harder to leave. Everyone's always treated us like we're at home.

Love
|

Everything

Nov 07, 2020

When you're making an album, it's kind of like having a baby. You have to really put everything into it.

Cooks
|
Nov 07, 2020

Both of us are lucky because we married women who are amazing cooks.

Nov 07, 2020

Jessie J's a funny, funny woman. What she does is she reels you in.

Every
|
Nov 07, 2020

Australian bands are so self-deprecating - then they go on stage and blow every other band off the stage.

Fighting
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good Charlotte, for us, comes from a place of youth for us, back when we were struggling and fighting for every inch, just trying to get by.

Night
|
Nov 07, 2020

It does feel really good when you play a new song, and it's the loudest singalong of the night. It means just as much when we're playing the old songs, and people are singing along to those, too.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's an interesting thing I've seen with Australian bands: when you put them side-by-side with bands from other parts of the world, they're just more musical. They're just better.

Life

Believe
|
Nov 07, 2020

The American Dream - I believe in that cliche because I know what having nothing feels like.

Education
|
Nov 07, 2020

We were kids that didn't have any education. None of our parents were in the music business or even college graduates. We didn't have someone guiding us. We were just uneducated kids from the middle of nowhere that suddenly had a band going around the world.

Nov 07, 2020

You're just these kids from a small town. You get a record deal, and everything just goes so fast. In the span of five albums... in a way, the band that you started in your bedroom, or your basement or your garage, kind of becomes not your band anymore. It becomes something bigger than you could have known. No one really prepares you.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

I read all the reviews. I remember the first review I ever read about our band was, 'They'll be gone tomorrow; they'll be gone quicker than they came.'
