About song 3 - "I forgot how forgettable this song was."
Best quote ever.
+Avgrundsvrål I stand by it (even if I explained it poorly). I remember back then thinking this song was forgettable. Then I forgot about that quality.
+Rocked Reviews
So basically, it's so forgettable that it's forgettable XD
+Avgrundsvrål No. There's a quote better than this one. "SEX!"
I was already a fan, but that rant against The Day That I Die just solidified it. As someone who's battled with depression and knows people who had attempted to take their own lives, that really meant a lot to hear.
lionheart21 it's weird how he so often uses a sort of "fake angry" voice for most of his videos but this time you could hear how he meant every word he meant, you could hear his anger, frustration, and contempt with every syllable
@Aidan Lindell I think he was also really angry when Fred Durst referenced Columbine on a Limp Bizkit.
Stay strong
These guys wine so much, I got alcohol poisoning.
+Clip On Tie Wow. If I would have thought of that line I totally would have used it in the video. Well done.
You have a way with words dude

@@henryconner3002 not gonna lie- I absolutely loved Elite Beat Agents! Thought it was a brilliant and fun concept for a video game. I wish like hell there was another game(or other games) like it!
@@RockedNetIt'd probably have worked better in your Simple Plan video.
On a sidenote, this is the same band that participated in PETA demonstrations and protested KFC... and then did a bunch of KFC commercials. The hypocrisy is astounding. No wonder it seeped into their songs.
I was about to make a comment about it, but then I stumbled across yours.
Also, in the same vein, they also entered _Australia's Got Talent_, with their act being trying to make a Guinness World Record by eating KFC. Which is not only hypocritical - and, as such, in really poor taste - but is also _completely fucking stupid_.
wow
I did not know that. Too bad there's no video of it on youtube. That would have been some quality cringe material no doubt lol
KrimsonVagus Indeed. It would have been so laughably bad.
To be fair, claiming to care about animals and then showing exactly how little you actually care about animals is PETA's MO, so they were perfect.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 OK while that's true to a degree, one of the main services PETA provide is free euthanasia because its a genuinely useful service as most vets charge for it. That's why their euthanasia statistics are so high, not because they put healthy animals down. They've proved this several times.
So I'm not defending them perse, but those statistics are misleading and usually misrepresented by people. They are bad for many reasons (and their founder was insane), but those numbers are high for a legitimate reason.
As someone with depression. Your rant is justified and I agree with your opinions.
Same
Also agree
how are you doing man?
@@helpimadog-otherstuff8377 I am doing much better now. Thank you.
I'm also pretty darn deppressed.
Good Charlotte cereal: The Bland and the Tasteless
Good Charlotte is Raisin Bran
Girls don't like bowls, girls like toast & honey.
@@captainkthebassplayinpirate16 That's insulting to Raisin Bran, I'd rate them more like your shopping branded corn flakes. It's that boring
I like how at 16:13 he's wearing a slipknot shirt, that makes about as much sense as putting gravy on a snickers bar
+Goop Videos Yeah, as I recall, my initial thought at seeing Good Charlotte (Wherever it was) was "Hey, some guys raided a hot topic dumpster, then decided to start a band that sounds nothing like any of their shirts/stickers"
+Goop Videos Its funny how they wear shirts of legitimately good bands. Slipknot, Sworn Enemy, NOFX, Rancid, Madball. Yet the music they make is more tolerable than Simple Plan, but you'd still rather have someone vomit in your eardrums.
+Goop Videos Ah okay , now if you like Slipknot you can't put his shirt.
+Goop Videos sup Goop

23:50 is why I subscribed. Your obvious and sincere passion about music and how kids get into it is admirable. Kudos to you as well for being sensitive towards issues of suicide. As a person who suffers from bipolar depression, it was greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work, man; you've earned a subscriber for life :)
You could hear his voice cracking. He might've been talking from experience
Chris Alderson Stay strong, Chris!!!!
And yet, he jokes about suicide in more than one of these videos. So. Methinks it's posturing at best.
@@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814 What jokes? Speaking of jokes, did you know Blink 182 did a song about suicide and one of their fans actually killed himself while listening to it?!
@@DaleHusband multiple videos by Luke feature jokes about suicide, including one where he literally throws himself out of a window.
Secondly, no, that didn't happen.
That rant man... wow. Just... bravo! You may think you went to far, but you were speaking for the heart.
firefly4f4 I think he didn't go far enough.
To listen to him makes me think someone he know took their own life
Hey, at least the Anthem sold less than Linkin Park's Numb, which is an amazing song.
Don't you mean Meteora?
Demon Rantz Numb sold 3 million copies. I was taking about the single, not the album.
Fragonborn Entertainment Did it come out on a separate CD?
Demon Rantz It was a single.
Fragonborn Entertainment yeah you know listening to crappy nu-metal bands and pop-punk bands Linkin Park does not deserve being called whiny.
Emo? Sure why not but the lyrics aren't 100% cringey and nowhere near as whiny as Simple plan or Good Charolette. And I agree Numb is a pretty solid song
MTVs darling PG rated Green Day :'D That killed me
I thought Green Day was the pg version of Green Day
Raymond Haykal Definitely not
MTV Darlings comment is one I agree with but I also agree with the comment that Green Day is a pg version of Green Day. Sorry but I don't acknowledge them that long after dookie. And when they sold their souls to be political I just pitched their cds and won't listen to them.
@@rh21992 Oh... American Idiot era Green Day is definitely not PG.
Green day are far more superior than good Charlotte
The Young and the Oatless. 100% sugar, 0% substance. Part of this ridiculously oversold breakfast!
AdamCrow more like that cheap artificial sweetener they have at restaurants.
I would eat Corn Flakes more than that cereal you mentioned.
Cream of sleaze
The thing that separates this album from No Pads, No Helmets, No Way In Hell Did This Actually Happen is that when I listen to The Young and the Hopeless, it legitimately ruins my day.
+Jpavlack jr I think The Young And The Hopeless it's better because of A New Beginning, that's an epic intro (In my opinion)
Good Charlotte has paid, in the long run, for the aura of falseness that surrounds them. Blink-182, Yellowcard, Jimmy Eat World, New Found Glory, Sum-41 even, all these guys are still beloved to one degree or another by today's young people, but Good Charlotte? Dated dated dated. And largely forgotten aside from a song or two.
Scott Morris to give those bands some credit, they either had, or at least have had a shred of true talent behind them.
Blink reinvented themselves with the self titled, which by Tom’s admission was his attempt at being Alkaline Trio.
@@dntinker yeah... It didn't work though unless you were a real fan of them
Blink (can’t speak for the others as I don’t know their music well enough) at least had passion for their songs. They truly care about the music. Also Travis Barker is an amazing drummer. Not stating my exact age but I’m part of that youth you’re referring to, Enema of the State is older than I am.
WTF Are you on? Those bands are legendary and loved by millions of people young AND OLD!! Most of the fans of these bands are either over 20 and 30! NOT ALL OF US STOP LISTENING TO AMAZING MUSIC JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE MAINSTREAM TREND ANYMORE *unlike yourself* Every single one of those bands including Good Charlotte are loved and have millions of fans young and old all around the world who can relate and connect to their music, if you want proof then just ask. I can only imagine the kind of garbage that you listen to you freak.
"It's not something to mock & praise, & then go on like it never happened!"
Now try telling that to Seth McFarlane.
Is he even still relevant?
@@yozoramikazuki5927 He never should have been. He's undertalented and overvalidated.
I know. I'm ridiculously late. But your rant reminded me of my friend that I lost when I was 17 and she was 15. I was one of the last people to talk to her at school before she hung herself in the school bathroom. She was OBSESSED with Good Charlotte. This album came out shortly before she killed herself.
She listened to their music NONSTOP. I truly believe that her relief and happiness when I spoke to her that day was due to bands that she felt "got" her telling her that the best day she'd ever have was her final one. I beat myself up for YEARS asking myself why I missed the signs or telling myself I should have caught on. But now, at 33, I know I couldn't have known. And I also know that trash like that song pushed her in that direction.
If it helps, a sudden, unusual sense of relief is a common warning sign that someone cripplingly depressed may be preparing to attempt suicide. It’s just relief that it’s all going to be over.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss.
I feel like Good Charlotte is to pop punk what Avatar is to movies. At one point it was massively popular, moved a lot of units but their cultural legacy is largely forgotten.
My high school English teacher missed her prom back in the day to attend a Good Charlotte concert. Really
I will also say this.
I about broke down when you began your rant.
It took me back to a time where I was suicidal. It was a bad time and it seemed that everyone was against me (when they weren't but I kept telling myself that.) The fact that GC wrote a song about suicide is disgusting. You had every right to say what you said in your rant.
Stay awesome Luke.
+Grilmour I'm glad you support what I said. I'm also glad I shortened the rant from the original version. It was too much even for me.
I'm glad you made it through without suicide. Especially with the reminder of this album again. Now my ears hurt.
Rocked I honest to God want to see that full rant.
Grilmour I hope you're doing well
Stay strong, my friend.
I had a really funny experience with Riot Girl. When I was revisiting this album (And then crying myself to sleep) and I got to Riot Girl, I was honestly expecting a song about being in love with someone from the Riot grrrl movement. Ya know, Sleater-kinney, Bikini Kill, those bands. I was really thinking "Huh, what a completely unique choice for a pop punk song, but why did he spell it with a regular Girl instead of grrrl?" And then the song played and it was about a Psychopathic girlfriend who makes his social life a living hell. And then I threw the CD across my room for making me think this band had depth for a second. Great review BTW.
+jeff emerson That story is a great example of someone realizing what this album is.
+jeff emerson Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.
So, the album includes both an anti-suicide song followed a few tracks later by a song about the joy of committing suicide. I used to think Good Charlotte was just another crappy 2000s pop-punk band. Now, I find them truly loathsome.
I'd like to see you take on at some point 2011's metal trilogy of suck: Metallica's "Lulu," Morbid Angel's "Illud Divinum Insanus" and Queensryche's "Dedicated To Chaos."
My mom used to work in a record section of a huge big box store, and one day the girl who worked with her asked my mom for help finding an album she couldn't find anywhere. A guy came in asking for "Queensryche" and the girl who worked with mom was searching their catalogue for a Queen album called "reich". She thought he asked for "Queen's Reich". After that my mom was in charge of dealing with requests for rock bands because she was usually the only one who had ever heard of them most the time.
Sorry your comment randomly reminded me.
Lulu is good what are you talking about
I like this album, but I respect your opinion. See it's not that hard guys.
All it takes is a little maturity. Good on you, mate
I used to be a fan of GC but I forgot about them. This album was ok. I did like some songs
Carlton The Duke unlike Simple Plan who still haven’t matured
Ew
Fake punk for fake people
My favourite good Charlotte memory. At reading Festival people were throwing the odd bottle of piss at them. They stopped playing and said " we like Metallica! If you like Metallica you won't throw anything at us." There was a 30 second pause in the crowd whilst they played a clip from sad but true. Then the sky filled with bottles of piss going stageward. They ran for cover and left the stage. It was hilarious.
That actually happened lol.
I used to listen to this album as a kid.
It defenetly is 🗑️, tho as someone struggling for years, these fucking songs make me want to just kill myself not keep fighting.
I'll never understand all the people who say this shitty band saved there life. I remember listening to this and jist rotting in my depression. The same year I found Linkin park hybrid theory.
That got me through, I realized I was no longer just sitting in a black hole accepting fate. I was moving again.
Shit if it wasn't for hybrid theory I wouldn't of gotten into good music. If I stuck with good Charlete..... I'd probably not have found all the music that's kept me here, I'd probably be super whiney and had zero fight in me, probably would have killed myself by now.
Fuck you good Charlete.
I remember seeing Benji say, and I quote, "we weren't good enough to play other people's songs, so we wrote our own"
Oh how little I knew
Good lord, "The Day That I Die." I never had this album and at least had a bit of respect for Good Charlotte back in the day for writing "Hold On," but knowing that both the band and execs were tone-deaf enough to have both of those songs in the band's repertoire, much less the same album...these guys just might be worse than Nickelback.
They are 100% worse then Nickelback. Nickelback has some good songs, heck, they have a couple good albums. This band has nothing.
Get Crazy With The Cheese Whiz woah there, pump the brakes..lol..I don’t know if you’re hearing what you’re saying..nickelback?? Good albums?? Sir, do you need assistance? I can help you back to the hospital if you need me to? Clearly you’re suffering from some type of cranial injury.
At least Chad Kroger doesn't have that annoying, nasally pop-punk whine of a voice that so many of these bands had.
I'd much rather listen to someone trying to be Eddie Vedder than listen to someone trying to be Billie Joe Armstrong.

What's with the bass (or lack thereof) on these pop punk records? I feel like bassists are pretty much the secret weapon of good punk bands.
Take my like, good sir. You deserve it after that really pissed off rant, dude.
+Doughboy Devito :)
8:43 Yesterday, I had a Zoom class focused on celebrities, and my teacher played this song and told my classmates and I to analyse it (and by that, I mean its message, not the song itself).
Fortunately, since we all consisted of adults, we all unanimously agreed that the basis on which the song was built up was misinformed, narrow-minded and just plain stupid, with some of them citing other reasons celebrities can act messed up, and me citing Weird Al Yankovic as an example that, despite the song telling you otherwise, you can be a celebrity AND still not be a stuck-up, arrogant, vain, out-of-touch jerk.
I love how you went all CoverKillerNation at the end with that rant.
+justin riley True! Although unlike CKN this guy can rant about a band I enjoy and actually make me laugh throughout the whole video as well as getting me to understand his point of view. I like CKN but he's a bit of a twat.
***** He's a youtuber who does Music reviews. He's also known for his extreme rants.
justin riley this rant was slightly less intense than coverkillernations lulu rant
justin riley coverkillernation is cool and is pretty chill now
Good Charlotte is real punk, isn't it? Atleast thats what I thought. If there is better punk out there tell me and I'll check it out!
Holy shit! I'm so glad that I found this channel again. UA-cam's subscriptions page has gone to shit and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of this channel. But I found it.
This is by far your best review, in my opinion. I really liked the fact that you got serious for a couple of minutes, instead of relying on cracking jokes. Jokes are fine, but the real meat and potatoes for me is the message behind it all. And telling it like it is for a moment was pretty damn interesting. Nice job.
Hey SWEGTA. I like your GTA videos. Definitely better than Mr. BossFTW or Sernando. Lol
I guess Simple Plan and Good Charlotte had a competition to see who was the whiniest and how many albums they could sell.
+Grilmour I'd hate to ref that competition.
Or review it.
@@RockedNet holy shit this is an old comment
They even toured together back in the day. Can you imagine?
The most ironic thing about Lifestyles of the rich and the famous is that the two Madden brothers dated Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie 😂 that was the moment I couldn't take this band seriously
Your anger, honesty, and passion about Song #11 made me love you and this channel even more. I was suicidal when I was a teen back in '94, and was until around '96. Thank God I was older and wiser by the time these bozos came along! KUDOS to you for standing up for kids who think it's the only option. THANK YOU!!!
This album is my guilty pleasure. In 2003 I had a back shift cleaning job. I would bring my disc man into work every night. After getting sick of listening to my few CDs I owned , I borrowed my friends little brothers cd (this one) and I admit I got into it.
They couldn't call it "Anthem Pt. 2"... A even better band from the same genre and time period already released a song with that title that is a million times better *Cough* Blink-182 *Cough*
BulletFarmer2 yes it is
I was super into pop punk as a kid like Yellowcard, Sum 41, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Paramore etc. but I do not remember these guys. I dodged a bullet I guess.
+Prymary2 Yes, but you still got hit by a few other ones :P
I'll take two to dodge one, bro!
+Prymary2 Yellowcard I think is actually kinda underrated, since when I listen to their album Southern Air it actually seems to have some sincerity and emotion, and it definitely doesnt sound like they just want money like Good Charlotte
***** Yeah man I actually just saw Jeff Rosenstock not too long it was a killer show
Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Attack I see them when people talk about Pop Punk so I just lump them together. They do have Emo influences though.
This is why I love this channel, you’re such a good person, you understand that some bands are actually out there to help people and help people heal from whatever is hurting them. Peace and Love is what we need, not greed and money that make people sing about serious shit that would actually hurt people.
I'm seeing that rant in 2020. Still holds true.
That is not the intro of a pop punk band. That's an intro you'd hear from a symphonic metal band like Sabaton or Rhapsody of Fire.
EDIT: The lyrics to My Bloody Valentine sound like an attack from the Denny's Stalker.
23:30
OMG That Trust Company album! I still play it to this day!
LOVE them!
So glad you do!!!
From Under the Cork Tree is a great album; they didn't suck until after they reunited.
Now that's an underrated album and band.
The Unstable Nerd truly a band that suffered the unfortunate curse of the Nu Metal
When I saw this sold as much as Lateralus, I made my table do a quadruple somersault.
MTV's order of manipulation:1999:Backstreet Boys
2000:NSYNC/Limp Bizkit
2001:Limp Bizkit/ NSYNC
2002:Good Latte
Art Part Yep. All an attempt to dumb us down. Unironically believe that.
2005: Fall Out Boy
So, Good Charlotte are the Teen Titans GO! of that time. They contain very little in regards to substance, and they do not care what they write about, as long as it panders to their demographic, and TV channels promote the ever-loving shit out of them. Lovely. -_-
P.S. On a side note, you mentioned Donkey Konga 2, which does contain The Anthem, in the North American release, alongside Staind, Smash Mouth, and Trapt. (to be fair, there are really good musicians on that release too) You wanna know what the Japanese release had? The opening themes to Mazinger Z, Dekaranger, and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Seriously, look those songs up, and you'll be fuming on how the US got screwed over.
+Jacob Felger Well, I must've been lucky. Since I had the Japanese version instead.
Go fuck yourself
@@xbrandon2252 Wow dude you got some fucking anger issues I see. Guess no one is allowed to have different opinions from you. I'd be frightened to see what you're like to others in person who don't share the same opinion as you.
What the hell is Aaron Lewis doing in a Donkey Kong game?
I feel Hold On and The Day That I Die COULD have worked in reverse. Like, if the suicide song was BEFORE the Anti-Suicide/Never Give Up song. Kinda like the character wated to commit suicide and the NEXT TRACK said dont do it, idk i feel that COULD work. (Both songs are still shit and as someone who stuirggles with suicidal thoughts ad depression, I really really hate The Day That I Die, but i feel it could work). Well..at least it might have worked a tiny tiny tiny bit better :P
I have the same thoughts about Buckcherry (not that I've ever been a fan of those misogynist pigs) having Sorry on their album right before Crazy Bitch. It would have made more sense if they told a woman that she's good for sex, but otherwise worthless and apologized for disrespecting her in the next track.
I had this album as a kid, I had just gotten into Green Day and other bands of the pop punk ilk and at the time I though this album was awesome. I had forgotten all about it uptill I saw this video in my sub box and Now I see this album is auditory garbage. In the same breath, this kind of music somehow influenced me to get into Metal, Hardcore/Metalcore, Punk, and oddly enough Prog Rock/Metal. It's not all bad if here were kids like me who heard this album and thought "Hey, I like the general sound and style of this but I want something with deeper lyrics, actual musicianship and song writing ability, and heavier. It may have been forgetable Pop "Rock" bullshit, but if it's what helped push kids to dig deeper into the genre of Rock, Punk, and Metal, it can't be all bad. Loving these Regretting the Past videos and the reviews of modern albums and your personal favorites as well.
There is a Good Charlotte cereal, I believe it was called Kix.
Here in Australia, Good Charlotte have David Hasselhoff-in-Germany levels of popularity... Joel is the longest-serving judge on the Aussie version of The Voice, and last year Benji got dragged into it as well.
Having said that, THANK YOU, Luke, for tearing this mob the new one it deserves, because in Oz, you would never be able to do that without the mainstream media coming all over you like a ton of bricks.
Although you may have missed one of the biggest opportunities in this series so far... Joel and Benji are now married to Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz respectably. How you didn't mention that during track 3 is a total mystery.
David Hasselhoff is not popular in Germany. Whoever comes up with that dumb meme should be smacked.
RPGFan he *was* incredibly popular there. The joke is based on fact (and predates meme culture by like thirty years).
Tim Mackie same
The Voice?? Wow.....
According to Songfacts, The Story of My Old Man is based of their real experiences with their dad, who they reunited with in 2008. Madden is their mother's name, Combs is their dad's.
I fell for them when they opened for Mxpx in 2001. My infatuation began to decline when this album came out.
I actually really like the concept of "The Day That I Die" I think it could lead to a very interesting song. Two problems though. 1). They're marketing this album towards preteens, so not a good song to have on this specific album. If the rest of the songs were more mature and were marketed towards older teenagers and adults, I could see it working. 2). Like he said, Good Charlotte literally had a song three tracks previously about holding on and not killing yourself. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS. Other than that, if this song was done by a better pop-punk band, say Green Day or blink-182, I think it could've been pretty good.
Dang it, now I wanna see the rest of that CD case!
Same here.
Luke you really spoke from the heart on this one. I was a depressed teen when this album came out and saw right through the shallow hypocrisy. I love your videos man and 5 years later they're still on point
I love that intense rant at the end.
So, I remember reading something in a Tiger Beat or Bop as a kid where Joel Madden talked about how their father left them as a kid and him and his brother were raised by their mother. So, yes, "The Story of My Old Man" is based on the Madden brothers' actual experience, and not a marketing ploy. And yes, Good Charlotte were frequents in the Tiger Beat and Bop magazines.
I guess we can call the story of my old man one of the few good songs on this album but........
I knew there was a reason I was up at 2 A.M.
Sleep is for the weak.
Also wow did that rant get serious.
Sleep is for the week too.
AND WE WILL NEVER REST
THIS is what people my age were listening to when I was in middle school? Jesus tap-dancing Christ. I'm going to have to thank my mother sometime for never letting me watch MTV.
...say, Process of Belief came out at around the same time as this album didn't it? I'm 'a throw that on. Get this...junk out of my head.
"It's a matter of SEX! No, not the science-picture kind!"
Was Process of Belief any good? I lost interest in BR after the Grey Race and No Substance were extremely disappointing
@@FTWorWTF it's not bad, it's got it's moments IMO. Wasn't a big fan of Gray Race or Substance either, outside a few songs
I think process of belief is probably one BR’s best albums post Suffer-Generator era.
I love “Process Of Belief.”
What's wrong with Donald Trump? He's almost as good as Good Charlotte.
Oh wait.
krisdaschwab912 he’s not that bad. Still better than Good Charlotte.
Fleccas?
Jazzed as hell to have recently found this channel. Love all the content. As a diehard Tool fan (not just an mjk fan), you've had the best takes on lateralus and 10,000 days. Love the humor and sarcasm as much as the thought and interpretation. Very impressed. Kudos sir!
15:41 So THAT'S where the tumblr meme came from... and isn't that sad that GC's biggest contribution to society is just a sad tumblr meme?
Yep. The dude pretty much nailed it about these Rancid wannabes.
I always felt that "Lifestyles..." was Baby's First RATM, only the shit version.
BulletFarmer2 Or, alternatively, Baby’s First Dead Kennedys
almostideal baby's first Bad Religion song (even has an attempt at the oozing ahhs during the chorus). Which is ridiculous because Bad Religion are already baby's first political punk band. Good Charlotte are like the wiggles of punk.
Man, Ten Second Songs should do a "LOTRAF in the style of RATM" video.
I know my comment is 3 years late to the video.
However I still love the album (product of the times for me in all bias) I never really sat down and thought about a lot of this until you broke it down.
At least in later albums, they don't fight as much for the popularity and their newer albums are actually pretty decent.
I have a lot of bias to Cardiology.
everyone is you watched this video and felt he held back at track 11 look it up on vimeo. he held back on the final video.
when I requested this (last time I'll say this I promise) I didn't realize it would touch Luke like this. and to be honest it touched me too.
I wish I would of saw this in my 20s.
I didn't realize songs were literally telling me to hold on and hurt myself at the same time.
It's bands like this, Simple Plan and Fallout Boy that killed rock. This shit is about as punk as the Back Street Boys.
Good Charlotte were a punk rock Backstreet Boys. Look at their first album cover. They are a boy band. I live in MD and NOBODY knew of these guys before local radio station WHFS started to play their demo and they were barely around for a year at that point. They didn't play many shows prior to this. Their big exposure was througn the HFStival. They didn't have fans before that. A major label instantly signed them up within a year of them being a band. Their first album looks like they were a bunch of preppy kids who stumbled into a Hot Topic one day. Their second album they though we need a tougher image. Get some mohawks, studded leather jackets, tattoos. Whine about the rich and the famous yet fast forward to now and the Madden Brothers are rich elitists who married Lionel Ritchie's socialite daughter and Cameron Diaz.
I remember hearing these guys as the opening of the show "Undergrads".... another Mtv show......
You mean: clique?
oh yes, wow, I thought alcohol killed that whole era of my brain. I wonder what else I suppressed?
Show rules btw
I seriously can't stop watching these! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I once followed Good Charlotte on tour. My feet still hurt from all the walking.
lateralus does not deserve to be on the same level as Good Charlotte the young and the hopeless
Holy shit. Your suicide rant was really... Wow... So much emotion. I had to take a deep breath after hearing that. Well done sir.
+Doughboy Devito I feel like I could have shortened it more, but it is what it is. Couldn't be helped.

Thanks for responding!:)
Don't worry man, I didn't really care about how long this video was, I just really fucking liked the video and the rant really made me feel something and I feel it was necessary to show how really awful this band is.
tbh I don't think they ever "sold out", you can tell they wanted to go this route from the very beginning. Their first album is pretty generic and attention seeking. I don't think it was the label that made them this way, they were going to go this route anyway.
I’ll say this, I don’t see the problem with an artist letting out all their pain, anger, or anguish into a suicidal song, the issue here is that these fake edgy hacks made a song about the joy of it, and directed at early teenagers.

That was the greatest rant I have ever heard on RTP and I would say the same thing to people if they did or said this to me. It’s not funny to laugh about those people who suffer and it hits me too, but I am glad someone has to rant about it.
That rant about that song they are singing about, was a great rant and I don’t like that song and the lyrics are absolutely horrible and I have seen people get through stuff like that and it’s sickening since I heard that song. I couldn’t have said it better.
Fuck me. After seeing the Lateralus vs. the Young and Shitbrained comparison, I literally cringed in horror. I need to binge Lateralus again.
I didn't know Simple Plan and Wes Scantlin teamed up...
you forgot Josh Freese started out as the drummer of another "pop punk" band called the Vandals.
"p.s. anyone but Trump"
p.p.s. anyone but Reigns.
I'll remember both of those ty
+TWK Reviews FUCKING YES
Was that a Roman Reigns reference?
+Dakota Duran Why yes it is.
p.p.p.s. Anyone but Fred Durst.
It’s funny how one of the guitarists is wearing a NOFX shirt, when NOFX themselves wrote a song about how punk rock became too safe and lost all meaning around this time. Seems pretty telling of what was going on around then!
That song (The Separation of Church and Skate) came out one year after this album. Can't be a coincidence.
"Mom, can we have Green Day?"
"No, we have Green Day at home."
Green Day at home:
During this time period, so many of those pop punk bands had singers with this EXACT SAME VOICE as this band. You could have swapped singers between any of these bands and no one would have known that you had swapped them.
+BlackburnBigdragon I'd rather hear that voice than the typical hipster-y voice you hear in most bands today. Ugh!
+aharddaysnightmare I´m Curious, which bands do you refer to when you say "hipster-y voice"?
+Mateo Alvarez stuff like Mumford and Sons, Vampire Weekend, Of Monsters & Men, Twenty One Pilots(though I do like one or two songs of theirs).
mmm So thats what hipster sound like? I really enjoy Vampire Weekend, i find them very unique myself, Modern Vampires of the City is one of my favorite records of this decade. So you like more rough sounding voices? I think its a little weird that you prefer good charlotte guy whiny, fake, weak souding voice to VW but, tastes i guess.
+Mateo Alvarez I have no idea why you would prefer something like them to someone like Blink or Sum(I was talking more about pop punk in general as opposed to just this band). I mean if you like em fine, but I just find bands like Sum 41 make more badass music while still managing to be very relatable. I guess I was just born ten years late or something.
By the way, you sounded seriously upset during the rant towards the end! Ouch man :/
I feel that the song The River was their high point. Really it's one of the few Good Charlotte songs I listen to.
+FlufferNutters 100 percent agree. I actually really like that one too, but they still had to go and get M. Shadows and Synyster Gates to make it as good as it is.
+FlufferNutters That song is good until you learn that it's pretty much about him whining that they're not good any more.
You have no idea how thankful i am that you reviewed this
Day day that I die rant tho....I was a fan, but I’m subscribed now. Now, as a subscribed member....PUT OUT ALOT MORE CONTENT!
Seriously, this is one of the best channels I’ve come across. We all need more.
dude, I LOVE Good Charlotte, Limp Bizkit, Simple Plan and all that shit (even some Nickelback), but I can't miss any of your videos, they're just amazing hahaha, it's so funny to see you bashing all the albums I like hahah, I don't know how people take it personal and shit. I think Young & the Hopeless is one of the best pop punk albums ever made, still I fucking loved your video hahaha it was great. Keep it up man, best channel about rock music I've seen!
Pedro Henrique Sinhorini wow, a fan that isn't triggered and actually loved the video!? what universe did you come from?
hhahah it's funny cause I know that a lot of people hate these bands and it's not just because I like it that everyone should, but I don't know, I just think it's really funny the way he talks about it in the videos hahahah
@@LateNightChronicleshowever i can understand his anger towards them for writing track 11, you know the one i am talking about
I always thought they sounded like 'The Brady Bunch' taking a stab at punk rock.
Many years ago, when the song "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" was big, I visited my Dad at the plant where he worked (it was for a school assignment). Greenpeace climbed onto the cooling tower, so until security took care of them, we were locked in. I still remember sitting in Dad's office, and we were watching that music video on his laptop. He thought the song was funny, and it always makes me think of that day. I miss you, Dad. R.I.P. :'(
I’m sorry to hear about your loss.
Josh Freese is the Jeff Porcaro of the '00s. Don't know who that is? Hardly a single album came out of LA from like '77 to '90 without Porcaro (or his Toto bandmates) somewhere on it. And I agree Josh Freese is the best thing about this album.
R.I.P. Jeff Porcaro 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
My best friends little sister use to crank this album. I remember hearing it when we'd be trying to play GTA. I told her about the psyco chick and that the album seemed like a money grab. I had been playing guitar for a couple years when this album came out. I literally learned it by ear before I even knew what learning by ear was. You pretty much called it as it is man. Mad respect!
I'm a Good Charlotte fan forever no matter what anyone says 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️
I got this album for Christmas and sang every song with as much teenage angst that I had. I feel shame I loved it now. Knowing the background and how big they sold out really taints the memories I have of it. And now listening to it again after not hearing it for a number of years, boy it blows massive chunks. Take a sub from me sir. You are awesome and have amazing videos
Are you sure Bloody Valentine isn’t about the Denny’s Stalker?
i do not at all know how someone can make a song like the day that i die and feel clean
I like this album (possible nostalgia) but damn, I appreciate your passion.
Thank you
“The Anthem” is the only song of their discography that I really care about. I would’ve been fine if it was just a one-hit wonder.
There were a lot of forgettable songs but Hold On I still remember since I was a kid but now I feel old every time I hear it and it brings me down even more
Fun Fact or Not So Fun Fact:The Anthem was featured on the soundtrack for Guitar Hero Live
@Logan Metcalf Gotta milk that license money...
I love this band's first 4 albums. I still respect your opinion on it.
I remember thinking this album was amazing when it came out. I still love Hold on as a song, that rant was absolutely on point, i for one am happy(maybe not the correct word) that you went all out on it. Only recently discovered this channel so looking forward to delving into the back catalogue
New late person....listened to Good Chatlotte when I was younger....your rant opened my eyes
