Good Charlotte talked with Rolling Stone about their latest album:

“We had to rehearse. We had to put it all together and I wanna make sure it’s perfect ’cause [Richie] loves our band and I wanted to give her the shows she wanted, not like some half-ass old tired bullshit show. We put a lot of effort into making it feel special and that’s actually what I cared about the most, was giving her what she asked for, which was a gift. It was a perfect night and we were all having a great time and we were hanging around… and then we were like, ‘Should we make a record?’ And we were laughing and then everyone was like ‘actually, I think we could fuck shit up if we made a record’ because the show was good and we were fucking good. And then the conversation continued.”

Good Charlotte talked with Rolling Stone:

We all feel that way sometimes. It’s OK to feel that way. When I say, “Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born at all,” I don’t mean it where I want to be gone. I am not suicidal and, thank God, I’m not depressed. But I’ve had times in my life where I was, and I had to figure that out, and it was a lot of work to figure out my own mental health and self-esteem. I’m still working on all of it all of the time. We’re all a work in progress.

Sometimes you have moments in life where it’s really fucking hard. It has nothing to do with your family or your success or your failure or whatever. But it’s a moment of aloneness, and you question stuff, and even have to give yourself the room to feel OK with those moments. That line, that just came out of me. I feel like everyone can relate to it, no matter who they are. They have those moments where they have to take a knee or let out a deep sigh or whatever, and then just keep getting on with it. 

Good Charlotte talked with Kerrang:

“Watching my little sister, this woman who I’ve known since she was seven and has loved Good Charlotte, and I love her husband – it was such a beautiful moment for our family,” he smiles. “And to be a part of it with Good Charlotte was not something I expected. Of course we would do anything for them, and so we went and played – and the band showed up. I fucking love these guys. They dropped everything, came, put effort into it, and we had this amazing time, which makes me love those guys. And we would all do that for each other. We were just laughing and hanging around and we were like, ‘We should make another record.’
