    I had never heard an interview with Billy before. What an awesome guy. The mentality he displayed during the AI / comics discussion I think gives great insight into his success. Wish I had payed more attention to talk like that during my formative years instead of being focused on "everything sucks."

    Good Charlotte's music really helped me in my teens. I had an absent father and a somewhat abusive step dad and Inreally related to Benji & Joel's story. Billy started my interest in art and inspired me to start doing art myself :) Life Can't Get Much Better was my first dance at my wedding too. Genuinely love the band!

    Honestly I think this is your best interview yet, super impressed with how articulate, respectful and down to earth Billy is! Having only really known Joel and Benji from GC, I had no idea what to expect here, but Billy has got himself a new fan.

    Say what you want about Good Charlotte their live show is 10/10
    Saw them in 2008 at Brixton Academy, incredible show, sound just like the record, and a hidden gem cover of So Lonely by The Police.
    Amazing live band 🍻

    What an interesting guy. He speaks really fast, seems like a lively enough character, but at the same time not suuuper bubbly and over the top. Even a bit flat and to the point, but not in a bad way. This was a good listen!

    love this video. it's nice getting to know Billy from his side of things. often we hear a lot about the Madden twins (no hate) but I'd like to see other members too. and yes Finn, if you're up to it, do an episode about Silverchair. Silverchair is no more but I guess it doesn't hurt to message Ben & ask if he's available to talk with you. he's active on social media.

    I'll say like this Good Charlotte marked my youth, there were a lot of bands I used to listen when I was a Kid in Ecuador, later on when I kind of improve my knowledge in music I stoped listening to most of the bands I used to as a Kid, but then one day I went back to listen to my old music and Good Charlotte went right in to my head again like I never stoped listening to it.

I know they have been around for like 25 years now but when he was speaking at 14:20ish and said about being in his 40s I was like holy fuck! Dude looks no older than mid-20s at most! Brilliant interview as always Finn :)

    GREAT interview, Finn. It's cool to see an hour long interview with Billy. Good Charlotte are one of my favorite bands of all time, and I was 18 when their first album dropped. I remember getting a sampler from Sam Goody/Musicland "Little Things" was the first track on it and it blew my mind. It was probably the first time I heard rapping in a pop punk song. And those are my two favorite genres, Hip Hop and Punk Rock. "The Young and the Hopeless" is in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.
