Ok so this is the performance they did at the huuuuge NRL finals last night. It's crazy how many people were there, makes me so proud of them. Crazy crazy. But I thought of some stuff while watching this:

• It looks kind of ridicilous in the beginning when they arrive in cars and motorcycle(?) shit hahaha, it's like an upgrade of the The Anthem video. So funny. 
• WHY IN HELL WOULD YOU PUT DANCERS AROUND THE STAGE. It looks so wrong I can't even find words. I laughed through the whole video because of that. Wouldn't it have been better if they had invited GCFAM to be by the stage to watch them? Oh my god.
• Feel sorry for Paul who didn't get to experience this special show.
• It also annoys me that they only talk about Joel and Benji without even mentioning the other guys.
• Joel have no idea what to say between the songs, awkward. "ENJOY.... the show...".

 

Really great performance of them back in 2001. They all look so good in this one haha. Benji with baby spikes, Joel with tank top, Paul with blue hair and Billy with tie. They seemed to enjoy it so much aw. It's also cool because they only play the really old songs since TYATH hadn't released yet. I really wish they would bring back the heavier sound to their live perfomances though, now they pop it up so much which I think takes away the energy of the show. Wow, how I wish I would've been in that crowd.

 

Here's a video of Good Charlotte performing at another big event a couple of days ago, the AFL footy show in Asutralia. I love the sound they opened The Anthem with, you know that slow thing that's usually in the middle of the song before the jumping-part. And Joel's voice sounds fantastic! Think he felt the need to be a bit punk rock with walking jumping up the tables after the Billie Joe iheartradio thing haha? Anyways, this was really fun to watch!

 

Unfortunately Paul couldn't be there since his wife gave birth to a son a few days ago! Happy for them! This means we have two newborns in the GCFAM at the moment.

 

A video where Joel and Benji talks about Australia and the honor to play at the NRL's which was held tonight. I'll put up videos of the performance as soon as it will be out.

Here. Enjoy two videos showing the full acoustic set they did on the 19th in Melbourne.

1. Dance Floor Anthem

2. Girls And Boys

3. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

4. The Anthem

 

 

So, Good Charlotte played their first real show in over one year yesterday. The show was held at the Festival Hall in Melbourne where thousands of people came to watch them. The setlist seems to be the same as it was last year except they put on Misery. Benji played two acoustic songs, Emotionless and Beautiful Place. No encore. They joked around a lot and seemed to enjoy being back playing together. They also talked about making new records and stuff, that the reason they won't be active in a while is because of babies poppin' out (Paul&Billy).  Here's a review from the show. A fan's story.

They also played a pretty small acoustic gig on the 19th, also in Melbourne. Only Joel and Benji. 

 

From the Melbourne show. I Just Wanna Live.

Hold On.

 

Next up is a show in Sydney tonight, a gig at the Fat as Butter festival (Newcastle) tomorrow and finally a gig at the V8 Supercar's on October 20th.

Also, Billy got a son last week. We're happy for him!

Joel and Benji are doing a performance with Lionel Richie tonight on the Jay Leno Show. I have no idea what channel, timezone or anything but I guess those of you who live in America knows more about that. I'll put up the video of the performace later when it's out. Also, Joel seems to have purple hair again. Nice.

Ok, so it seems that all the videos on my blog have disappeared. I've tried to put them in again but it doesn't work. So annoying. .......................

I never write here anymore. The blog doesn't have a single reader. Haha. I don't really know if there are that many people interested in reading about GC.

 

Anyways, a lot has been happening since I last wrote. I'm going to do a list to update you and myself a bit. I'll probably forget everything but wellllll...

 

• The Voice Australia is over (for those of you who don't know, Joel was one of the four judges/coaches on the show). His candidate, Sarah, ended up on forth place (I think?). There are rumours going on that Joel will be on the next season of the show too. I really hope those rumours are fake since that would make Good Charlotte's pause even longer. Anyways, it was fun to watch the show and see a new side of Joel (and a new side of his hair hehhh). But now he's back in the U.S again!
• The band met and had a BBQ party when Joel had arrived home again waowoao. It had probably been a while since they last met.
• Paul said in an interview that GC won't start record a new album until next year, and that the paus will be until then.
• Good Charlotte will play four shows in Australia during September-November. Two normal shows, one festival and then V8 Supercars they played last year too. It won't be a tour or anything, just a few shows. A lot of Aus fans are excited and are ordering tickets already! Yay!
• A while ago, Benji tweeted that the "Madden Brother's Acoustic Album" is on its way. Album? I still don't understand what they're up to haha. Is it going to be like their last mixtape, only the songs are more acoustic and not electronic? Or is it going to be acoustic versions of GC songs? I believe it's going to be the first thing. We'll see.
• Billy is releasing an EP with songs like the ones on his soundcloud. The EP is also going to be on his new serie "Vitriol: The Hunter".
• Deano keeps tweeting youtubelinks.

 

Today Paul told us some great news! He and his wife have a second baby on its way, expected in October! Happy for them. Yep. It would be so funny if it was born on October 5th just like the first kid and Paul himself.

Joel's been changing his hair quite often lately.

 

Right now:

 

But he also had pink/purple/black for a while:
