Good Charlotte: How Hard They Fall

In 2002, Good Charlotte were on the top of the world.

Two years ago, they opened for Justin Timberlake.

Now? They’re bound for the L.A. County Fair, along with Peter Frampton, War - and “Monster Truck Madness.”

Even sadder, look at the bottom of this newspaper ad and you’ll see Puddle of Mudd. The crap-rockers, who had a three-times-platinum album in ‘01, are also fair-bound - they’re opening for the abhorrent Shinedown.

“Hottest acts of the summer”? Maybe they’re talking about Pomona, which’ll be seeing 90-degree temps pretty soon. So in that sense, yeah, the bands will be “hot” playing onstage.

I don’t think they played the fair because that is the only gig they can get. They just wanted to do a few local shows in preparation for their big tour next year. They are working on a new album which should be out early 2010.

By the way, I’ve seen them many times and they always have a good crowd wherever they go. Except of course for the stupid Justin Timberlake tour. JT’s fans are snotty little brats who wouldn’t know a good band anyway. I attended the GC/JT show in Boston, then left as soon as GC left the stage. I went outside and waited for them by their bus. I could have cared less about seeing Justin Timberlake. Not my kind of
music.

Don’t count Good Charlotte out yet. They are a wonderful band with fun songs and they put on one the best live shows I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen many many bands throughout the years.
