Good Charlotte I look up to in so many ways.
Good Charlotte is very special to us. It's something we really cherish.
Hopefully, the people that would look at a Good Charlotte record and dismiss it for maybe what they think is a certain kind of content, if they do discover something meaningful, then it's a nice surprise. I like those kinds of contradictions.
Good Charlotte are a band with punk values - they look it, they grew up on the music, and they believe in the punk ethos.
We had such a huge fan base, they couldn't ignore us anymore. MTV was playing us on 'TRL.' We even did a TRL-sponsored tour that was Good Charlotte and us.
I think the first CD I actually went into a store to pick out myself was a Good Charlotte album... I went through a tomboy punk phase in the fourth grade.
I'd say a big transition as a kid was when I started to listen to Good Charlotte. They were like a rap-to-rock/punk group.
I think the soul of Good Charlotte is just feeling good.
