Good Charlotte got a bad review for their recent performance at the Electric Factory:
Maybe Charlotte should’ve gotten spiffy asymmetrical haircuts sooner. Maybe Joel should dump Hilary Duff. Maybe Philly’s tweens had homework.
In any case, Charlotte was stuck in a plodding groove with a muddy sound. Joel, wearing a skinny tie, said he was sick. And more often than not, their jarring, speediest tracks – "The Anthem," "Walk Away (Maybe)" – couldn’t catch fire. They lumbered, leaving Joel’s nasal whine more phlegmy than punchy.
There were tart melodies, jangling bridges and intricate tales of loss and disgust – like the breakneck ska of "The Story of My Old Man," and the nursery-rhyme bop of "Girls and Boys" – but they were derailed by sloppiness.
Not everything lacked luster. The spry, grungy "Motivation Proclamation" and the punk "Festival Song" were as commanding as their lyrics were demanding. And the band’s new songs "Misery" and "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" were cunning, neo-disco tracks that were not only reminiscent of Californication-era Red Hot Chili Peppers, but genuinely original takes on Good Charlotte’s brand of heartbeat hard-core.

to:Stupid No.1 GC fan
first of all it is obvious that you are totally STUPID.everyone can tell that by reading your comments.
you suck.in fact every GC fan sucks.
nowadays gc is famous only because of joel and joel is famouse only because of HILARY.
HILARY earns way too much money and her fans are like 1000 times more that gc. there is no doubt about it all.
so just shut up

1) GC Rocks
2) GC was known before Hilary got ‘big’
3) Joel is supreme hotness in himself
4) So just because Hilary left him, you start attacking innocent fans, who let me mind you, came to this site b/c we accepted Hilary into our hearts as part of out family, and didn’t bash her. You Hil-Fans need to chill, because…
1. We aren’t bothered by your comments (think we haven’t heard them before?)
2. GC’s staying (bitches)
3. This isn’t over forever, maybe they are taking a simple break, and they’ll be back together soon enough.
