Good Charlotte’s August 2016 UK tour: review round-up

/ goodcharlotteuk / Leave a comment

Good Charlotte’s UK tour is, sadly, now over but all the fans can agree that they put on a fantastic run of shows and it was like they’d never been away. (And I was luckily enough to bump into Billy and Paul before the show).

But what did the reviewers think? Here’s a round-up:

The Scotsman is pretty harsh and says they’re more akin to Busted than Green Day (not something I’d agree with, but anyway) but does add that the Madden brothers’ ‘hearts seem to be in the right place’

‘Live, however, they were impossible to dislike’, says the Telegraph (even if they were slightly scathing about the music…)

‘Still on Good form after all these years’, says the Sunday Mail

Punktastic say ‘it’s always great when you can just tell that a band are having just as much fun up there as the crowd are’.

(Plus, bonus photo gallery)

Kerrang say ‘they have a renewed lease of life’ and gives them 4 stars/Ks.

A review of the Good Charlotte UK tour

 

Original Rock say ‘they definitely have not lost their touch live’.

Mosh say ‘they still manage to have everything perfect to a T’ (even if they forget to mention Paul and Dean)

‘Good Charlotte manage to maintain the energy and the noise levels throughout an excellently planned-out set’ says Dead Press.

And the bloggers?

‘LOUD’, says Mel’s Jukebox while ‘this show was epic’, is Tumblr blogger’s soundsdandnoises conclusion. ‘Charisma, talent and down-to-earth attitudes; the band had it all’ adds West Midlands-based Native Monster.

Hopefully they’ll play some of the new tracks live for us on their UK tour next month.

Good Charlotte ‘planning one or two more albums’, UK return this autumn

/ goodcharlotteuk / 1 Comment

Good Charlotte have confirmed that their return after going on hiatus in 2011 is not just for one album.

Speaking before their show at Manchester Arena, Benji and Joel said they’re looking at making another one or two albums after the release of their as-yet untitled sixth album – although Billy pointed out that they’ll continue to make music indefinitely as long as it remains fun.

The sixth album is due to be released this summer and is currently being mixed, and Benji and Joel said it contains some of their best music to date.

The band also revealed some of the songs they’re most proud of. Benji and Joel highlighted ‘Emotionless’ and a song written for 5 Seconds of Summer, ‘Amnesia’, as some of their favourites – as well as the Madden Brothers album ‘Greetings from California’ as it was very personal to them.

When asked about their best memories of spending time in the UK, the band said they love playing gigs in the UK as the crowds are always so lively – although Benji did highlight another good memory was when they played a show at Alton Towers in 2004 as they travelled to the gig by helicopter.

Good Charlotte confirmed they’re currently planning their next visit to our shores – with October/November looking likely for the next Good Charlotte UK tour.
