It's good to know you can play the album on the computer and get the other track. It's really useful, because people don't listen to music away from their computer, in portable cd players, or in their cars anymore. Good Charlotte, always staying ahead of the curve.

And just to let ya know babe, we weren't getting pissed off. At least I wasn't. I was joking. I thought it was pretty obvious, as I did add the whole "raping your grandmother" line at the end. But maybe I didn't make it obvious enough.

Poison, an 80's hair-metal band and their song "Guitar Solo," is the world's worst guitar solo ever, according to Guitar World magazine.

To add to the GC conversation...

So apparently Alkaline trio's Dan Andriano replaced drummer Mike Felumlee from Good Charlotte.


Is it me, or is that a little weird? I don't know how perminent it is either.

Umm. Let me break this down and tell you why that really made no sense.

1. Dan Andriano is a bassist. And a decent guitarist. But he sucks at playing drums.
2. Mike Felumlee was never in Good Charlotte. He was in the Smoking Popes. Never in Good Charlotte.

I don't know who told you that, but feel free to shoot that person in the face.

And is it me, but is Good Charlotte just ripping off Alkaline Trio now? I know Alkaline Trio ripped off the Misfits and all, but doesn't it seem kind of funny that Good Charlotte is ripping off a band that copied another band's sark style? Anyone?

Just a GC Tidbit: The drummer of GC is Chris Wilson and he's still with them. Before Chris Wilson was their original drummer Aaron.
They've never had a drummer named Mike. Aaron left the band to join his cousins's band Wakefield and Dusty replaced him for a short bit before they found Chris who is Aaron/Dusty's permanent replacement drummer.

Thank you for clearing that up. Mike Felumlee has been in the Smoking Popes, Alkaline Trio, Duvall, and his solo project, but never Good Charlotte.

Okay, I know a little about this cuz my sister's an insane GC fan. At the Much I & I (on Thursday I believe), their usual drummer wasn't there and Derek Grant (Alkaline Trio's current drummer) was filling in.

I hope you're not talking about Derek Grant, because he's definitely from Livonia, Michigan. Maybe the other drummer is, but not Derek.

See, thats what I heard. But I really didn't care that much, so I googled it, and copied and pasted what came up.

ok so i have a pretty embarrasing story to share with everyone. I'm sure all of the Music hipsters can understand how bad i wanted to die.

6 months ago i'm buying some new shirts, and i needed a black one. SO i just walked into bluenotes and picked up a kinda cool looking one that said 'Made' across the front. I wore it a few times in public and thought it was ok.

3 months later i'm horrified to find out that "Made' is Benji of GC's line of clothing. And i had been walking around in public wearing a good charolette shirt. Hell i even went into the record store where i talk to other music elitists wearing it.

I wanted to die and now it just sits in my dresser, a token of my idiocy.

Be informed about everything in music, even the shitty, otherwise you'll make an ass of yourself as i did. I was to damn elite to even know anything about GC
