Go0d Charlotte Quiz

any band which so obviously whores themselves out to their record labels sucks... they display no musical talent (which you might call minimalism, but its just shit)... everything good charolette stands for is complete shit.

 

You keep digging your forum grave deeper and deeper.

 

I like bands like good charlotte, you know why?

Because they inspire me, It helps me to relax as a songwriter to know that coporate bands such as Good Charlotte can write songs in only 20 minutes write simple chord changes and write words that don't really make total sense or have anything that they actually belive in, and make great money off of them, haven't you seen their house on "cribs" right after their crappy music video was played for the 500th time? These guys really know what their doing, they are so good at their craft!
Can you say "Coporate rock"?

While i on the other hand have to take a great deal of time just to write a song that I feel strong about, and that i really feel is a good song. a song that probally will never make it on the radio, and won't have hundereds of young teens who have no real voice of their own have something to use as their voice.

So yeah Go GoOd Charlotte, because we aren't quite sure whats so "good" about 'em, but we love em anyway

 

Do you really think I give a shit what anyone here thinks about me? 'Cause you're a bit fucking naive if you do.

 

you're a music student? LIKE OH MY GAWD YOU MUST KNO EVERYTHIN!

I studied popular music and music tech for 5 years, piano, vocals and guitar for 8 and currently I work in a recording studio. Now I accept this certainly doesn't mean I have any kind of superiority over someone who isn't in the business. It does however mean you should listen to what everyone is telling you and get some taste in music. Good Charlotte is not music, I have never met anyone who wasn't 14 and wearing bad eyeliner that liked their so called excuse for music.

 

Don't fucking exaggerate, I wasn't implying that at all.

No one over 14 you know of likes them? You clearly haven't met that many people then. Cut with the "it's not music" bullshit. Being someone who's studied music, I'd think you'd have a more open view on it. Most of the people I know of that have studied music came away from it with an understanding that even the worst music in the world is still actually music.

 

I pity your teachers.

 

i think they sold out punk but that's just my opinion

 

I have an appreciation of all forms of music, aslong as they are good in their fields. Good Charlotte make pop and punk look bad, they truly do and I've never met a good musician who doesn't agree with me. Considering I work in a studio I've met alot of musicians, hell I've met alot of people, more than most I can assure you. I was with Sigur Ros's manager on saturday night discussing the current pop/punk wave, I think everyone in the room agreed Good Charlotte is not acceptable music. This is my thing, this is what me and my friends do, we make music and I think that gives us a good grounding to have opinions on music. Being in the music business is all about forming opinions and constructive criticism, I'd have thought you'd know that being a music student (unless you're not doing music tech in which case they don't give you much contact with the business). People judge people constantly, you can be open minded but with the boundaries of musical taste and talent and things like Good Charlotte are mocked and laughed at, trust me.

I honestly thought just 14 year olds liked it, looks like there's a little pocket of 18 years olds somewhere still thinking it's actually good music. You learn something new every day.

 

They fuckin suck.

 

Yeah of course you have a right to an opinion, but before you were trying to say that your opinion was fact.. which it isn't.. which is why this little discussion occured in the first place.
And I realize that you have to meet a lot of musicians in your line of work, but it's not only musicians with opinions. I was meaning more along the lines of everyone.
No, not tech. Music Practice.

And I didn't, not once, say I thought they were good. I do like them, but they're far from anything special and I admit that. It just annoys me constantly how people say that certain music isn't music, or they judge every single fan of a band on the worst examples.

 

ok, ok I comprimise. It's music (which is still questionable, it sounds like a whiney ongoing noise to me), but it certainly isn't good music. Sorted.

 

Good point Sir Rubin.

Look at me, I wear makeup tryin to be like Alice Cooper or Ozzy, I can write a song with two chords. Put me on MTV-cause MTV is where all the music is at...

 

Hey what's wrong with make-up and two chords per song- oh, we're still talking Good Charlotte... nevermind.
