GC bueno

*The Defibrillator* · 12-03-2003, 01:45 AM

I just saw the new video for the song "Hold On" by *Good Charlotte,* and to my surprise, it was actually really good. Apparently the song's about not committing suicide and in the vid there's a bunch of people that talk about suicide and how they lost friends and stuff from it.

It was really powerful, dig?

I guess what I'm sayin is, that I gained a lot more respect fer GC cuz of this. Has anyone else seen it? What do you think? If you haven't seen it then go to http://www.launch.com and look it up.

Please no posts in this format:
"I HTAE GC, TEHY SUCK LOTS!!1!!1!"

You can say you don't like em, but only after you've seen this video

I have seen the video and still think they blow. But that's just my opinion, isn't it.

*Stone Ill* · 12-03-2003, 06:11 AM

For me, I only like the first album. But Hold On is, I like, one of the only song's I like from 'new' GC.

*just irked a Good Charlotte fan* EXCUSE ME? What was that?!

*breathes slowly* I will not get mad.......

*Stone Ill* · 12-03-2003, 11:30 AM

You know, it IS possible for someone to like a popular band, not just because they're popular.

Most of you are, and probably will act like it's cool to hate Good Charlotte. I just dislike the second album.

*Anarky* · 12-03-2003, 01:14 PM

i don^t like GC much. i think they try to be punks because they're not half as gangsta as you have to be to make rnb.i think they're only doing the job cuz of the bucks.

edit: Mississauga? i've been there in june. nice place. T.O.'s better

. i love canada (and molson...hmmm...beer)

^ This is all true.

I don't like GC's appearance, or personalities, or hair, or clothes, or ANYTHING about them except the music. It's good music.

*Kid Icarus* · 12-03-2003, 02:30 PM

one of my friends knew GC, before they hit it big, before he moved to Lincoln (he has pics and all), and said that they were a lot of disrespectful assholes who have openly said they're only in the buisness for the money, not to make good music.

which is fine, 'cause they're doing what they wanna do. and if they changed, maybe they should have stuck with their first goals...

as far as this video is concerned, its just a clever marketing ploy to get the "i'm so depressed, life is just oh so horrible" crowd to like them. it's also supposed to make them seem like a deep band. its a clasic move really, it's a pitty it's been over done though.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-03-2003, 02:38 PM

Maybe we act like Good Charlotte sucks because we actually think they do.

That's not what I said at all.

There's a thing going around where it's cool to hate certain bands/artists.

Here's a few examples that have been effected:

Avril Lavigne
Good Charlotte
Sum 41

I mean, it's one thing to dislike a band and is another to hate them because they're popular.

Personally, I feel the same way as TMNH. The only thing I like about them is their music, and that's only the first album.

*Anarky* · 12-04-2003, 09:27 AM

hmmm i actually like sum41. i saw them live at the muchmusicawards this year in t.o.

*Kid Icarus* · 12-04-2003, 03:38 PM

I for one don't hate GC because they're popular, I hate them because that was their main goal, not to make good music. Pretty un-punk if you ask me. I like Avril's music, but I can't really stand her calling her self punk without knowing who the Ramones are.

There are so many good bands in the underground that waste 80% of whats in the main stream right now, but because of bands like GC and what not, they don't get a chance 'cause they arn't whats 'in' right now, and the 'in' bands don't want to take chances bringing up bands that arn't main stream.

*Stone Ill* · 12-04-2003, 06:24 PM

No one can be 'punk'. Punk is an image. It's not a lifestyle or any of that crap..

Just thought I'd point that out.

Blink is getting there too....

Gwg: YES! There are so many hundreds of MAGNIFICENT "underground" bands. It's amazing. I used to listen to mainstream, but now that I'm more into ska and stuff, I've found a PLETHORA of awesome bands. It's crazy madness.

That being said, I still listen to mainstream, just not as much.

And yes, GC is in it for the money, and they are stupid, and they try to dress so "cool" and be so "punk," BUT their music is still good.
