[berry252]

cute*

[berry252]

OMG!! ... but joel is ute :/

[MegaUndead19]

do u really think shadows is gonna follow them everywhere? really? maybe hes doin shit with his equally amazing band

[Lindushka]

come on...he was sick... 

[DarkZork9590]

IM A BELIEVER

[LuizFallout]

All instrumentation on this song is so fucking easy, but singing is so motherfucking insanely hard, well if you want to sing it like in the original studio tones....

[Jcrof]

2:13 to 2:15..... ???

[katnjas]

@Jcrof Dw, I wondered WTf too.

[Skidd75]

@Jcrof Im tryin to find my way back home, he sings. If it was what you want to know.

[Jcrof]

@Skidd75 Lol no I know what he says, I love this song. He was struggling with the notes in this vid and I thought it was funny. No biggie.

[NuMetalNeverDies]

is amazing what you can do in the studio, then you see on live and it sucks. I didn't expect this from the lead singer...

[xlilcutie93x]

WHERE IS MSHADOWS ?!

[kiengcanlazy]

hay qua di!!! rock

[revolution10ify]

I think only synyster can make those harmonics in the solo

[LittleBlackAngel95]

lmao 2:08 - 2:15 :'D boah ich lag auf dem boden vor lachen xD

[BeachMMA]

A7X made this song good.

[Josieman543]

faking fags!

[katnjas]

@Josieman543 Did you just call Good Charlotte fags? HAHA You havnt looked in the mirror

[ladym0on89]

just in love...

[giuseppe1251]

great solo by Billy

[TheJejan]

@giuseppe1251 That's really Synyster Gates, the solo was a playback.

[mintiano]

where's Poul? why's he hidin there?

[giuseppe1251]

great solo !!!!!!!!!

[saskia19891]

GEiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiL <3

[MJFAN96able]

ich find die stimmer hat nicht richtig gemacht ..und ohne matt und syn find ich fehlt das was

[chazter93]

i hate tv performances, the drummer is never actually playing

at one minute during the start of the chorus, you can hear a hi hat but his playing the crash

[BoomHaaften]

@chazter93 yep you're right @ 0:59 you see it.

[TheJejan]

@chazter93 That's what you call an EDITING PROBLEM. The video they played was not really the thing.

[TheJanine19]

wohooo pro7 xD

ist aber ein schlechter auftritt leider..

vorallem die verpatze stelle

naja passiert

sidn aba trotzdem die geilste band

[stigmeaner21]

he was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better at jimmy kimmel

[TrevorShofeMusic]

at least he's not lipsyncing. in my opinion, if you've got the balls to get up there, good for you. ya'll are some haters.

[idareyou101]

hes horrid! omg hes aweful live.

[ShineOnAnonymously]

Lol, he's good at hitting those high notes... XD

[MattxMisfitx]

hard time hitting those high notes... stick to your old songs guys, everyone loved you when you were raw and could hit the notes perfectly

[MadCat1EST]

@MattxMisfitx Dunno, maybe it was just this performance...other ones (for example the Jimmy Kimmel one) are pretty good, also I've seen them live and I can't say that they sucked

[KoRny3008]

i like their style in this video except benjis with this head

[twilight101089]

if you dont like Good Charlotte doesnt give any of you the right to talk crap about them how would you like it if people talked crap about you

[XTrevvion]

he lowered the key...avenged sevenfold is so much better than them when performing live!!!

[subfiction1]

2:38 how sad can you possibly get playing syns harmonic whammy part through the PA system just goes to show how bad GC guitarist is

[etboygenius]

@subfiction1 its not only the whammy part the whole solo's played by syn

[MrMintflash]

wheres paul?

[tirithon147]

mein gott ich hasse playback.....

[seemstheiralltaken]

@tirithon147 dachte ich auch erst aber 2:13 und an manchen anderen stellen trifft er die töne ja deutlich nicht .

[exist2resist]

@tirithon147

ja nur blöd das der Gesang live is oder? Bei der Musik... naja ok haste recht ;-)

[superhardasrock]

I love GC but this isn't a good performance by them, check the Jimmy Kimmel one, Joel lost his voice and Paul isn't their, they don't have a bass player ....

[MrMintflash]

@superhardasrock what happend?

[exist2resist]

@superhardasrock

take a look - there is a Bass Player on the left Side behind Benji

[CuriousBear100]

:O Where's Syn!!!??

[Famfritthekingslayer]

to all the ppl bashing on him, check the jimmy kimmel performance, its much better.

[isabelleandabbey]

this song is hard to sing live, if you hear the studio version it's very clean cut, and he holds the notes and goes higher. but live, i can only imagine how hard it must be

[RebirthOfRomance]

first album = EPIC ....everything after = (trolling) Fake and Gay

[isabelleandabbey]

@RebirthOfRomance so apparently you're a RWJ fan?

[RebirthOfRomance]

@isabelleandabbey RWJ?

[isabelleandabbey]

@RebirthOfRomance ray william johnson

[RebirthOfRomance]

@isabelleandabbey haha hell ya!

[TheOutsyder]

epic fail

[alex399r]

late night last night? those vocal chords are fucked.

[namdemagetou]

@RobinGoesUTube - dont worry dude its alryt

he was really struggling every chorus..

[MrAndreSChr]

@namdemagetou It was a bad day for him.. Check the first video under suggestions.. He sings it perfectly...

[yolanda681]

ya..what hppened to joel's voice at 2:10-2:15..

[11thhourguitarist]

2:10-2:15 great singing

[gormie96]

thanks i no avenged sevenfold there deadly i just didnt no the names

[conceived36]

Joel, what happen?!

[silverlynds]

lol

[namdemagetou]

he did sound terrible in 2:15..but he's probably not very well by this time ryt?..i still like their songs though especially this one

[RobinGoesUTube]

@namdemagetou sry I ment to give u thumbs up but I accidentally gave u thumbs down :-(

[Tommy21797]

his voice sounded weak that day ...we have he was straining

[radulica]

good charlotte fail :)

[Jupzdan]

wow, they sucks!

[Jupzdan]

wow, they sucks  ! ! !

[WhoIAmImmaCowboy]

i find when m shadows parts hit joel trys too sound like him to much 

[whamlover]

2:15 he sounds TERRIBLE!!

[777GoldenEagle777]

@whamlover lol you are right!!! x_O

[muco2]

2:10

[ikkw]

this aint that bad, this song is just to high for live vocals :P

GC is a cool band ;)

[cwahlz]

He sounded so bad at 2.15...M shadows would have smoked that part lol A7x

[WakingTehFallen]

wtf where are shadows and syn? :(

[voirzandman]

wheres my shadows :( HE NEEDS TO BE IN THIS SONG!!! ITS HIS SONG!!

[rjboy1447]

a7x shuld do this song live by them whit M.Sahdows singing the hole thing and the super sond of a7z will be much better than this

[riseagainstrul33]

they are good live but this is in a completely key to the studio version, and i wonder why they dont play it like the studio, anyway PLEASE CHECK OUT MY COVER OF THIS

[mikihendrix]

@riseagainstrul33 its half a step down, what version do you think sounds better the studio or this live version??? the studio obv, alot of bands play things down a step or so, i dont like it personally but imagine trying to sing that song day in day out on tour, its not possible, its insanly high...

[riseagainstrul33]

@mikihendrix point taking

[himynameismemo182]

joel was obviously sick

[tacobellbitches]

i dunno.. GC isnt a bad band. but live performances. id rather stay away

[EssvReborn]

Never as good without shadows singing his part

[Will12931]

M shadows does a well better job iv gotta say

[rangerball10]

WOW nice not singing the "on my own" part, and ooooooooooo that guitar solo very well played in the background not even being played live kudos for you......... A7X rules

[friendshipfire555]

Shame on you guys for judging them. Do you really think you could get up in front of hundreds of people, and millions of viewers and perform without a hitch? Professionals make mistakes too, they are not Doctors, they are musicians, and they are allowed to make mistakes. Geeze people!

[3550gol]

haha. the guitar solo that syn is playinbg is a playback:P

[jmn1228]

@3550gol they should have played back matts voice 2

[jmn1228]

its a shame shadows wasnt here to save the day

[peterpedophilia]

@jmn1228 GREATEST COMMENT AVER !!!

[jmn1228]

lol thank you

[Mattmurphy97]

hahaha

[gormie96]

@jmn1228 who shadows

[jmn1228]

@gormie96 m shadows who sings this song with him in studio. look up the river ft m shadows and synister gates

[GSkillz098]

@gormie96 wow u gotta be kidding me right?

[RobinGoesUTube]

@gormie96 he's the lead Singer of the band "Avenged Sevenfold" and did the original "The River" together with GC and Synister Gats(Guitarist of Avenged Sevenfold)

[Artwhore09]

wow, ist das schwach!

[jmn1228]

lol i just translated artwhore09s comment, my thoughts exactly buddy

[snorro007]

lawl if everone who commend this video do this proformens like good charlotte then your famous to so they are not shit you are

[872463051]

@snorro007 or maybe it's cuz they had connections when they used to be good, but now they are crap.

and who's to say we don't perform and have a record deal?

[jmn1228]

@snorro007 i laugh at that excuse.. "they are not shit because you are not better then them". true, but they are the ones claiming to be professionals, not us, and they are a shameful excuses for professionals

[XineChainsaw]

man i dissapointed lol

they sucks in live shows..=.=

[Farrel89]

A7x forever

[alpenveilchen0815]

2:14

autsch....

Klaa bestimmt nich der beste Auftritt aber trotzdem gut durchgekämpft

[hitsuya16]

this was shit

[pp99073]

Are they going to release their new album?

[nube2]

omg this is the worst performance ever thats just shameful voice was cracky, they NEED mat and syn omg its terrible. i heard his voice crak and stopped the song

[TheMattCottam]

i agree with forevergoodcharlotte.

[mongoose92101]

they need shadows in this, he makes the song

[ALDI273]

but syn´s lead part is important for this song too!

AVENGED SEVENFOLD 4 ever!

[Andylikestofunk]

it's half step down.... sounds weird

[ForeverGoodCharlotte]

he sounds and LOOKS ill, look at his eyes.. so like people are saying "oh,his really bad, they suck in live shows" no..it's ovbz that his ill?

[jamie499]

yes i used to like GC, but this is what makes them a very average band, their live performances are 50% of the time rubbish. A good band strives for perfection on stage (foo fighters, weezer, kings of leon) but GC are painful live. What kind of band fakes vocals? Especially one where the lead gutairest has all these punk rock tattoo's, but too puss to sing with a bit of bollocks. It's crap.

[rawmeat92]

who was playing the solo for this?

[monica2608]

yeah.. he probably was ill.. he was rasping ;/

[Maxush]

Yeah seems like they're playing from a playback only Joel's vocals are real.

[JGdrummer56]

overall, pretty bad. also, nowhere near the same without M. Shadows and Gates.

[TheeGrouchh]

Joel sounds ill ): <3

[SydneyRoosters101]

Nice hairstyle joel! lol

[NikPhilMaxTub]

Wat the hell

How can this song be by good Charlotte he doesn't sound like him and doesn't look lik him

But still sing Mad dam cool

[djskajanddjdod]

2 bad m.shadows cudnt make it to sing his verse :P

[hibspsycho]

vocals really poor!!!!!!!!!!!

[ahrgiey017]

wheres the bassist?

[ToxidyXxNezi]

wheres paul at?

[fredfiggelhorn11]

in the back

[webkinznewz11]

(sigh) wat ever happend 2 them they were performing so mutch had so many new cds out and then they just stopped, everything say 2007 :( i missem

[fredfiggelhorn11]

there making a new one right now for 2010

[Punkrockforme]

Мне нравится!))))))))

[ToxidyXxNezi]

damn poor joel he was doing okay but you can tell his voice was a little tired especually towards the end

[SciFiChronicles]

Joel looks so cute... The best band ever: GOOD CHARLOTTE!!!

[VadimRussy]

в конце слышна фанера м шадоуса :)и соляк сина,гыгыгыгыг)

[Makaloraii]

M. Shadows is a MUCH better singer than him. Syn is a MUCH better guitarist. They even lowered the key to make the poor-ass singer feel better. He still couldn't sing it.

[ivaNfender]

omg he can´t sing so loud! it doesn´t fit it sounds horrible and also fake solo... i hate that

[EskEmoMusic]

fake solo ?

He was playing right ?

[XFireXAngel]

I JUST LOVE THIS <33333

[blackstar4561]

i think this is the best song of good charlotte

4ever :-)

[nsp51frio]

wow the lead singer does a great job for gates and shadows not being there good charlotte is awesome!!!! =')

[vayne92]

Even though syn and m shadows aren't there.... The singer is pretty poor live lol

[XxAcexMetalxFreakxX]

i hate how they have M.Shadows voice recorded or whatever. and i'm sure their guitarist could've learned how to play Synester's solo. this is really good though. it sounded right on except for his voice cracking at points, but he tried his best and thats what happens i guess

[GamerNT]

Hmmm. His voice broke pretty bad the second part. Then again, when you're screaming into a mic for a long period of time, you start getting a bitter throat.

[cmfults]

M. shaddows and synyster aren't with them live because they are on their own tour, and ya i agree nobody can hit the shaddows part, and yes that is just playback when shaddows sings "on my own" and Avenged sevenfold is my favorite band. but this is 1 of my favorite songs

[th3echelon89]

A toast to that. A7X IS THE BEST.

[Liandy95]

this song still rockin without m shadows & syn

[peleman24]

that's only because Syn's guitar solo is still in the background

[slipkenneth2]

why arent m. shadows there when it's live

[chrisfour4444]

he tours with his own band haha

[a7xgirl99]

is m. shadows on playback where he says on my own? or what ever

[JUSTchillen]

it was better when M shadows was playing the second verse :/ they need him here, Joel is alrite, but he cant do shadows part

[Liandy95]

agree

[Cocknockerofl]

Why do they say Benji is lead guitar? Billy is always the one playing lead, including the solo.

[badassbboy]

terrible here, but they do pretty good performances actually

[celinextbp]

m. shadows did a great job with this song.

i think joel shouldnt sing his part. they should input a playback.

but still gc rocks.

[WhiteSnake95]

that's goil

[hbvw]

playback !

[ClintonYC]

Q BuEna ZtA KnZiÓn, X Mi MaRe [CLiNtOn ~ CaJaMaRcA ~ PeRú]

[Cocknockerofl]

How do bands like this make it big?

[velenvskaelhas]

By kkids buying their album to listen to a band relating to them, their a teenagers alternative band.

[Evaltia]

Could you do better....?

[Cocknockerofl]

I'm not a professional musician getting paid millions of dollars to put on a show. These guys should be better live.

[Evaltia]

Well in my oppinion, there one of the best bands there is live, yeah this performance isent that great but if u try hitting them notes youl see why there hard, and they dont get paid millions, probly a few thousent a year if people go and by there cds n not just downlaod them

[zyzanftw]

yea no. They definitely get paid millions.

[blissmeout]

sorry,but your tottaly confused if u think GC is one of the best live...and im not saying this just beacuse joel fucked up the chorus...i like GC,and i must admit their between normal and bad live

[TheDexxin]

2:13 was terrible..

[Schizor88]

OMG Good Charlotte sucks live... hehe

[Thegr8t2]

loll 2:13

[BCRich12195]

2:13. omg he fucked up bad

[TWLguitarist]

this song just isnt right without m shadows singing and synyster gates playing the guitar solo.

[thedoors720]

i agree.

[JordanPang19]

dang he can't hit those high notes..

[npsenpai]

he can hit it =) watch the other 'the river live' =)

maybe this performance happened after the other gig so his voice wasnt good =)

[hendrix6]

fuckin posers

[wildcat61x]

jole ur so hot love u so much lol u 2 billy and benji

[vivirias]

i love joel too

[o00beSt00o]

it's a way much better with M.shadows

[19941112]

its a bit weird without shadows and syn

wondering how a7x own band will manage the song if they do live

[bomberboy203]

i love how they dubbed shadows n how i can sing better than this guy

[aaronmforeman]

billy sucks syns way better. and where is shadows?

[kolle666]

think theyve got to do their own stuff...

i think they dont need to travel to germany to play in a part-dubbed show

[SLIPKnoTmaggot78]

in his band why would he tour with them for one song and dont forget syn gates he also adds his guitar

[bumblebumble101]

u clueless idiot....fyi billy didn't do the solo u fag...they had syn recorded and playing in the backround. GET A LIFE
