Good Charlotte's Got it Covered

[Melissa Johnson]

You can click here (http://www.goodcharlotte.com/images/gc_gmr_300.jpg) to see the cover of Good Charlotte (http://www.absolutepunk.net/goodcharlotte)'s upcoming CD, Good Morning Revival.

[Protested Hero]

Yeah. That's really bad.

[samantha b-face]

Oh I do not like that
I think they could have made it better
or good in the first place

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Wow. They really spent a lot of time on it and it shows.

[Joe DeAndrea]

Stupid.

[ClemTiger0408]

album of the year

[C.J. Roberts]

I think they made it kind of plain so it blends in on the shelves and people don't remember how ridiculous this band is.

Kidding. I actually don't think it's too terrible though. Nice and simple. Now I'm just seeing if GC's popularity is actually going to revive itself.

[sweetfootaction]

This "band" is ridiculous. They change their sound to whatever the current fad is (if that isn't the definition of "sell-out" then I don't know what is). Their last album they tried to sound "dark" and whatnot because that was the fad then and now they're attempting to go for the dace-rock sound because Panic at the Disco is popular.

I even noticed that on the cover that one of the guitar players is playing keyboard now? What the hell? Is this a joke or are they seriously trying that hard?

[hollywoodending]

step one: photoshoot of the band
step two: put it in photoshop, add some orange stripes and text
step three: wait for the cash to roll in

[emiliodelgado]

*album of the decade

[hollywoodending]

this band's career sorta reminds me of smashmouth, how they were pretty big with their first and second cds but then changed their sound to the "tween" market and went downhill. they should tour with k-fed.

[NJUNDERDOG]

one more thing to add to the craptastic list

[canvasisabttfld]

I'm pretty sure none of you have the album. A bit pretentious are we kids?

[jezebeth]

It looks like someone made the cover in five minutes with PS7.

It's not very eye catching at all.

Not that I'm trying to defend them, but they did tour with two keyboards on stage after their last album. Just to clear that up.

Even if they are are 'sell outs' and I haven't liked them in the past. I will still give the new album a chance, I guess it could surprise us??

[jdgtrplyr]

Yay for more crap.

[matt_rawlings]

I think this album cover sums up the band.

Dumb
Annoying
Created with zero talent and a bad use of image



yep

agreed

[Mediocrity]

I hope they do a cover of 'All in the Family' by Limp Bizkit and Korn. That crack is whack.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

they suck, always sucked and always will suck. period.


ps. that album cover is terrible.

[sweetforever]

I concur

Haha, I'm pretty sure it's more like take a picture from one of their videos; I think it's from "Get Your Hands Off My Girl".

There is just something about them that I don't like.

[hollywoodending]

I was going to say that.. but i thought "there's no way a band would use a still from their video for an album cover." guess i was wrong.

[bruisexblackeye]

I'm pretty sure none of you have the album. A bit pretentious are we kids?

thank you.
is there not a thread to bash pete wentz in so you to take it out in here?

[Adrian Villagomez]

There is just something about them that I don't like.Their music? :shrug:

[allhollows86]

Are they trying to be like Plus 44

[immacabdriver]

It's okay, kind of... not-album-art-ish though.

[bruisexblackeye]

I was going to say that.. but i thought "there's no way a band would use a still from their video for an album cover." guess i was wrong.

yeah that's pretty low-budget, but i really doubt they're epic's priority right now.

[santacruzice]

Are they trying to be like Plus 44


Yeah, i got that feeling too. The cover reminded me of the +44 cover.

[jacksteve111]

[LPMagic]

How anyone can defend this band is beyond me. Their albums have been on a steep decline, and I've given them all a chance. Just absolute garbage used to cash in on a preteen fanbase that will defend anything they think is "so punk rawk!"

- Jeff

[FrankMareno]

i really liked there last album and started listening to the others there good songs.

[Adrian Villagomez]

- JeffI hate how a few years ago just about every band who became successful was deemed a "sellout"... but if I had to acuse one band of it...

[0101]

im interested in hearing this album. i was really impressed by the river and actually liked the guest vocals by matt so im pretty excited to hear whatever else that was put on.

[sean13thfloor]

hmmmm....

I love how 90% of the people posting in this thread are pretentious close minded assholes.

DUR SUCK

SUX.

ROFL HORRIBLE CD

Yeah uh, I'm sure you all heard it.

Grow the fuck up. You're acting like junior high kids who say things suck just to say it sucks.

[waltz_alone]

i actually like it. much better than i expected it to be.

[Waltz Whitman]

loved the first cd.

like a few songs on the second cd.

third cd was absolutely terrible.

i hope this cd can surprise me but my hopes are not high to say the least.

[thebestkylever]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha


the dreaded haha box. i haven't seen that shit pulled since '87. well played.

[crit]

ohhhh. ok.

[focustempochamp]

i agree. they will follow the trends. not start a new one. even though not manybands will.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

not so good.

[radxbandit]

Not that I'm trying to defend them, but they did tour with two keyboards on stage after their last album. Just to clear that up.

Even if they are are 'sell outs' and I haven't liked them in the past. I will still give the new album a chance, I guess it could surprise us??

agreed, everyone else should give up their grudges and try to keep an open mind...

[thedullard]

good charlotte aren't for me. i'll leave it at that.

i actually thought the young and the hopeless and hold on were cool songs tho.

[nikki1282]

loved the first cd.

like a few songs on the second cd.

third cd was absolutely terrible.

i hope this cd can surprise me but my hopes are not high to say the least.


yeaa i definitely agree. the cover is not that great, it's okay. but they're kind of far away in the picture. and the stripes are pretty random.

[Candy_Warhol]

It looks like the cover of a BritPop album to me. :shrug:

[Chemical Love]

Thats fucking horrible.

[RandomHero1230]

wack

[neo506]

the dreaded haha box. i haven't seen that shit pulled since '87. well played.:bow:

[PaintMeBlue]

is that just a still shot from the video?? what happened to old good charlotte? why is the new single so terrible??? oh yeah...me and my roommate just tried to listen to it...we laughed and then threw up.

No, it really sucks.

[elvis2x]

I actually like the cover. At least it's not that "dark" Tim Burton shit they were trying to pull before.

[shadowofmyself]

oooookkkkaaaayyy.

It reminds me more of a music video shoot rather than an album cover.

[falloutboy.]

wow, thats a pretty dumb cover

[hollywoodending]

back in the day you were hxc if you bought the "death" version of their album. only the soft kids bought the "life" version

[Thug_Nasty]

give up. just please give up.

[PaintMeBlue]

back in the day you were hxc if you bought the "death" version of their album. only the soft kids bought the "life" version

hahahahahaha

[Vanilla Bear]

yeah...good charlotte is definately lame thesed days, but i was really suprised by the cover because it was simple and not out there, which is a good thing because i feel thats what they did with their last album.

And the people who say, "they were just being dark to fit in with every other band in punk," just curious...what band have you been listening to that hasn't done that???

[dan.is.empire]

this album could be setting up to be my least favorite cd of all time. everything about this band just screams "we don't deserve any of this". when are they gonna just quit?

[AP_Punk]

this will be the next The Shape of Punk To Come

[dan.is.empire]

[AndrewRnR]

They don't deserve it? Ok I challenge you. You go write some catchy songs like they did. You go and write chords, solos, and melodies. Then go on the road for a many years while touring in a van. Play the small stage at Warped Tour. Release several EPs that barely sell. Have a first real CD that takes off, but not enough to give you a tour bus. Face it, they paid their dues, and they are where they are for a reason. Lets see they formed in what 1996 and they didn't have "real" sucess until late 2002. Thats called paying dues. Most bands these days don't even last that long.

I don't understand how you can say they don't deserve where they are? They wrote their own songs, they play live (hell even instead of using preprogrammed keyboards sounds they tried to pull them off live!), they traveled the country playing the crappy shows, the small shows all the while being up a fan base. Am I big Good Charlotte fan? No, but if a band can write their own songs (some damn catchy ones at that) and play their instruments pretty good, and they put on a fun live show they deserve atleast some respect.

Just because you don't like a band doesn't make them a horrible band that doesn't deserve anything. I hate plenty of bands (like MCR but that doesn't mean I don't think they suck at music or don't deserve to be playing arenas).

[dan.is.empire]

You go and write chords, solos, and melodies.

they wrote solos?

[Dan1234]

wellllllllllll.......


i like the album cover



i think it looks snazzy



you all can........

definitely the most intelligent post in this thread.
no one here is saying they're the greatest band on earth, but give the dudes a break.
i saw them when they were playing small clubs back in the day & i've seen them at arenas. they've always put everything they had into their live show, unlike some bands, because they actually do give a crap about their fans.

i dont think the majority of these posts are pointing out that they haven't payed their dues
but pointing out that this band sucked after their first, maybe even second cd
i mean really, how are you even defending them, or claiming they deserve respect as musicians, after listening to the train wreck that was the Chronicles of Life and Death?
just cause a band can write their own songs and play their own instruments does not mean they're good or deserve their fanbase
and i think its ridiculous of benji to think they still have all their fans from when they were huge
this fourth cd better be good as hell to get people back after that last one
and if the album art is any indication of what's to come, then my hopes on that happening, aren't too high

I like the cover, it is neutral.The cover is cool.I like the band!!!
I have evry record and I have heard two songs from the new record and I think its great!
The song ,,The River´´is now my favorite song.Is ingenious!
I like the cover cause there only three coloures,whit grey and orange,is very cool.
I like it cause you can see the band,Joel,Benji,Billy and Paul and this is a classic.!

[Beloved Broken]

Don't really like the cover, seems kinda bland. The important part is beneath that, though, so I'll pay attention to the content rather than this.

[FF4889]

they wrote solos?

I also wasn't aware GC was writing solo's...hmm. Didn't the guy from A7X have to dumb himself down on The River so the GC guys could pull it off live?

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Dumb
Annoying
Created with zero talent and a bad use of image



yep

I don't know the technique used, but in that photo, it looks like they painted shapes at different skew around the room, to give the visual effect of an actual shape when stood at a certain angle. I can't remember the name of the technique, but I think its really inspired..

I like it.

[fortyparachutes]

this band's career sorta reminds me of smashmouth, how they were pretty big with their first and second cds but then changed their sound to the "tween" market and went downhill. they should tour with k-fed.

God knows I'm not a huge advocate of Good Charlotte, but it's unfair to compare them to Smashmouth. Smashmouth had one popular song (that they actually wrote) and Good Charlotte has had plenty of radio singles.
They used to have a huge following. They have changed their sound, but not as much as people are making it sound.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

that was awesome.

[dan.is.empire]

God knows I'm not a huge advocate of Good Charlotte, but it's unfair to compare them to Smashmouth. Smashmouth had one popular song (that they actually wrote) and Good Charlotte has had plenty of radio singles.
They used to have a huge following. They have changed their sound, but not as much as people are making it sound.

just because they had "radio singles" doesn't mean they are good.

also, name just one of their songs that was as popluar as "All Star". you can't. because you know there are still days that you wake up with that song stuck in your head.

[Matt_Dizzle]

[ShoeSh1ne]

step one: photoshoot of the band
step two: put it in photoshop, add some orange stripes and text
step three: wait for the cash to roll in

If you're gonna do steps, do it right.

step one: photoshoot of the band
step two: ???
step three: profit

Whoa, no-one remembers Walking On The Sun anymore? Damnn.

The fuck?

Walking On The Sun was one of the biggest songs of the 90's.

More like YOU can't.

[ZeoVGM]

don't have to hear a good charlotte album to know it sucks, bro.

apparently most people don't understand this...

Fact: You DO have to hear the album to know it sucks?

So their self-titled sucked too?

The self-titled and Y&H were 100% awesome poprock CDs.

You guys are fucking tools, just hating stuff because it's "cool".

[headlightspavem]

I remember the first time I heard GC, I was like 13 and I was across the Atlantic for the first time, and I picked up the Warped Tour 2002 compilation, and there was a track on it from their first album called East Coast Anthem. Go listen to / download that and tell me its not a TUNE!

[AShannon04]

interesting...not something I would have expected

[eversoinviting]

Are they trying to be like Plus 44
yeah that's what first came to my mind too

[WarpSpeedChewy]

hahaha. You don't by any chance run an underpants organization.

After about 10 "unh unh's" and "what, what's," I stopped listening.
It's uh, "not a tune."
Waiting for something to happen in it was like waiting on a giraffe to throw up.

[dan.is.empire]

Whoa, no-one remembers Walking On The Sun anymore? Damnn.

oh no no no, don't get me wrong. walking on the sun was equally as awesome but you have to admit that All Star much easier to get stuck in your head.

[dan.is.empire]

You guys are fucking tools, just hating stuff because it's "cool".

i'd completely agree with you...if i really did like good charlotte.

FACT: i don't.

ya, i bought the young and the hopeless when it came out, i enjoyed it for a time, but then i got over it and after the chronicles came out and i gave it a chance, i realized they really are terrible.

p.s. for the answer to your first question, see the above post.

[RIPFenixTX]

can someone just tell me who the drummer is?

[Adrian Villagomez]

can someone just tell me who the drummer is?From Wikipedia.org:

"Dean Butterworth is a professional drummer. He plays for popular singer Morrissey and is currently a drummer for the band Good Charlotte after they lost their previous drummer, Chris Wilson. Dean is also known by his nickname, "Deano." He is the oldest member of the band."

[CyberInferno]

They don't deserve it? Ok I challenge you. You go write some catchy songs like they did. You go and write chords, solos, and melodies. Then go on the road for a many years while touring in a van. Play the small stage at Warped Tour. Release several EPs that barely sell. Have a first real CD that takes off, but not enough to give you a tour bus. Face it, they paid their dues, and they are where they are for a reason. Lets see they formed in what 1996 and they didn't have "real" sucess until late 2002. Thats called paying dues. Most bands these days don't even last that long.

I don't understand how you can say they don't deserve where they are? They wrote their own songs, they play live (hell even instead of using preprogrammed keyboards sounds they tried to pull them off live!), they traveled the country playing the crappy shows, the small shows all the while being up a fan base. Am I big Good Charlotte fan? No, but if a band can write their own songs (some damn catchy ones at that) and play their instruments pretty good, and they put on a fun live show they deserve atleast some respect.

Just because you don't like a band doesn't make them a horrible band that doesn't deserve anything. I hate plenty of bands (like MCR but that doesn't mean I don't think they suck at music or don't deserve to be playing arenas).
Thank god there's someone else in this thread that's willing to be open-minded about a CD. You've heard two songs, IMO, one of which was pretty good (The River) and one of which was fucking horrible (Keep Your Hands Off My Girl). I don't understand how you can be that against just keeping an open mind. Sure, say that their last album was a piece of shit. Comments like this:
I like the cover, it is neutral.The cover is cool.I like the band!!!
I have evry record and I have heard two songs from the new record and I think its great!
The song ,,The River´´is now my favorite song.Is ingenious!
I like the cover cause there only three coloures,whit grey and orange,is very cool.
I like it cause you can see the band,Joel,Benji,Billy and Paul and this is a classic.!
This is the shit you come up with for your first post. I'm so happy you joined the community. I hope you don't post again until puberty sets in, which sounds like it's a long way off.

[imelliott]

did anyone else catch that article in AP about a year back,"Christian Punks Unite"?well it was josh scogin,aaron marsh,and stuff,and then "benji" from Good Charlotte hahaha.I think they lied about being a christian band just so they could get a little publicity.they need to give up.

They've always been a Christian band. Look at the lyrics for "Moving On:"
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
That's a generally Christian outlook on the world. As well as "Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place." And the lyrics to their latest song, "The River" are very heavily religious:
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered

[j011y]

ok thats reeeeally shit

[Mercy Medical]

They're kind of jumping on that whole Brit pop, Hives/Vines thing a little late, don't ya think?

[koala72]

Dont know if this has been said but:

+44 cover look kinda similar with the cross:P

[FF4889]

+44 cover didn't have a screen shot from their video on it, and really, looks nothing like this at all to be honest.

[samantha b-face]

They've always been a Christian band.

i don't think they ever classified themselves as a Christian band.
i think they were just a band who's members happened to be Christian.

[thekinison]

+44 cover didn't have a screen shot from their video on it, and really, looks nothing like this at all to be honest.

yep.

[explique]

im not going to judge this until i hear it
but judging by 'keep your hands off my girl' im not holding my breath for anything as catchy and fun as 'the young and the hopeless.'
