Matthew Good

[MattiasXL]

This was a bit of an awkward interview, because every time Matt started to get involved with the previous question, George changed the topic.

[RatsKingdom]

Tripoli, Advertising on police Cars, Champions of Nothing, Strange Days, Every Name is my Name, Failing the Rorschach Test, Weapon, Sort of a Protest Song, Fated, The Fine Art of Falling Down, Apparitions, 21st Century Living, While We were hunting rabbits and She's in it for the Money...i have a strong love for all of these songs...

[TAG037]

Matthew Good looks like my grade 9th teacher, and plus He looks like he could've been in the Barenaked Ladies

[greenmatrix151023387]

its crazy how he suffered that much

i dont think i could spend 7 days in a hospital

[NAllen828]

@greenmatrix151023387 I spent two weeks and then another two in a treatment center. I wish Matt would come to my support group he's fucking awesome.

[championkhan]

He almost put George to sleep

[HoodyBoy85]

This goes out to everyone: What are some of your favorite songs? Always been curious.

[cvillian]

@HoodyBoy85 Prime Time Deliverance (#1 by far), Near Fantastica, Sort of a Protest Song, Suburbia, Change of Season

[HoodyBoy85]

@cvillian Nice. Suburbia's my #1 personally. Empty's Theme Park, All Together, The Future is X-Rated, Tripoli, Let's Get It On...to name a few.

[hilarycopp]

@HoodyBoy85 Truffle Pigs, Advertising on Police Cars, Suburbia, A Boy and His Machine Gun, Apparitions, Rico, Middle Class Gangsters, Flashdance II, Weapon, Hunting Rabbits, Avalanche.... have I named enough? I will admit that I don't know much of his newer stuff, but that's just where I am with music in my life right now :) Please take a listen to all those songs!!! What are YOUR favs?

[FrenchyDuckbill]

Why does he think hes a fat turd now?

[mikem1234]

I get the sense that the audience doesn't have a clue what Matt Good is talking about. Politics? The outside world? Because it seemed like George Strombolopoulous didn't want him to talk about these things, or danced around the issues. Like, we don't wanna talk politics, because that involves ideology....but that is itself an ideology, you know, of private life/interests.

[NAllen828]

This man gives me alot of inspiration,

You are a YOUTUBE TERRORIST!!!

[CJDownz]

He really put on the pounds! Oh well. His music is still DA BOMB on so many levels. So good.

[aleem1867]

i agree polshmaiden

[polishmaiden]

Matthew Good Band's music was one of my favorite things in high school. He's someone I really respect - so glad his overdose didn't take him away too soon! He's still a fascinating man and the music is still fantastic.

[crazy13sj]

I loveeee you matt good.... brilliance. pure brilliance. always.

[mtwo3]

Matt Good is just frickin awesome.

[ladykiller85]

As George said "The best there, the best there was and the best there ever will be." Him and Bret Hart,

[loserbiotch2]

I am in love with his music

[SwingAdam]

Watching this i feel glad that i can respect both the interviewer and the interviewed.

[zyclonb6]

Matt Good will NEVER be a tabloid headline, because he admits his mistakes. Great interview, give george alot of credit aswell.

[kcdesert05]

Matt Good is a genius!

[QuantumCarl]

Matthew Good kicks ass, and George kicks ass, too.

That's quite the combination of dudes in a room!

I bet if you sat them down with world leaders, they'd straighten shit out.

[theuser102]

hope he come back to stcath

[musicgeek3]

George you should have Matt Good back on the show asap!

[HG200]

i think he'll be on next week actually

[romaniw44]

he is an angry guy...the lewis black of music

[screamingchicken350]

mathew good is a real asshole

[OldUnkieAl]

Listen to his new song, Last Parade, one of his best.

[wiggertronix]

7 days in the hospital is just a holiday ! and ativan kicks ass... but "gangs of  new york " could aggravate anybody

[martowskiamberlee]

Smart....he's so smart....one day amber one day!

[wikkedlilgrrrl79]

showed = shoved. :)

[wikkedlilgrrrl79]

I remember being the girl that was getting crushed at the front of the barrier....went to a Matthew Good Band concert in my first year of college (2001), being at the front of the stage and getting showed into the barrier. I drank quite a bit before the concert and thought that I was gonna hurl all over the security guy that was sitting there doing absolutely nothing. Good times.

[zaprutertape]

yeah lol matt can make a genius out of anybody. im sure he looked you right in the eyes.

[bigballaswift]

matt good is the shit

[SyndicateLdr]

Chavez supporter. I checked his blog thing there... he's anti-Israel as well. Figures, another hippie "celebrity"

[adnanteacher]

So what if he's anti-Israel? He's got a right to his opinion. Figures, another Youtuber posting stupid comments...

[TheGallows32]

U mad that your presidential candidate lost?

[zaprutertape]

his comment has been deleted since i read your comment, and im guessing.... yes! yes he did!!

[barimaphone]

ha, if you want to get into the whole Israel thing you've got another thing coming

[sexdrugsRnR]

finally something good on this shitty show.

[ajwhhis]

this show is great!!

[bets86]

true, very good show! no bs , no kiss ass etc

[summersleeps]

great artist...was a great band...i didn't know about the od....my fav albulm of the band's is the one he seems to least like :(, o well.

[Snatchbot88]

no it's not that he doesn't LIKE beautiful midnight, he just said he didn't like the crowd it appealed it...but he didn't say he didn't like the music itself!

[AwaketoaDream]

He is hugely proud of that album. He just prefered a much different public response to it. The album is really well done!

I wanna point out I wasn't a fan of hospital music when it first came out, but it's really growing on me. The lyrics are really well done particularly.

[artistawake]

great man... very talented

[WillSanchez]

Matt Good is amazing musically and great to see an artist who has something valuable to say.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

Well said.

[22ndcobra]

This guys troubles and perception work in tandem and manifest in his music. And because of this unfortunate mix there is something available to us that is more then your typical music portfolio. Like somebody singing on their death bed, its dark and beautiful together at the same time.

I often wonder if I would trade peace of mind for some ailment that would stomp my life with pain and frustration while leaving behind a monumental foot print for all to enjoy.

[strangegirl77]

you know, it's funny -- some people with bipolar disorder say that given the choice, they would still choose to have the disorder because of the "up" times when they are capable of producing so much art-wise, or idea-wise... and although I'm not bipolar per se (maybe cyclothymic, tho never been for diagnosis), I don't think I'd want to be "normal" either; I appreciate the intensity of the polar opposites... then again, I've never been suicidally low; that may change things.

Just a note.

[peachyvesper]

I could listen to him talk all day...he's so great.

[alliecool]

matthew good is so aswome just because he speaks his mind through his music and it always turns out the right way of saying it

[starrbynite]

I remember years ago I was visiting a friend in Regina and MGB was playing the ex there...anyway, he got the name of the city wrong, he called Regina Winnipeg and got booed hard and hit in the head with some hillbillies shoe. He started freaking out and was like, "im never fucking playing this place AGAIN!!" I was probably the only one cheering the whole Winnipeg thing cuz I'm from there. Apparently he never has played there again..LMAO

[PSNuser]

just saw him in concert...HE WAS GREAT!!

[Kiwikake]

The thing about Matthew Good that is awesome, is that everything that you hear in his music, exists in his personality, too. There's intelligence, insight and challenge in his lyrics, those things which shine through his personality. He's really down-to-Earth... Especially for an artist with so much success. Forever a fan.

[williamjamesbrown]

well said. favourite artist ever.

[howtzerdog]

i was in thorold (near st kits) where that i hear matt good is a real asshole shirts were sold. i wish i would have bought one. I'm going to see him june 24 in kamloops.

[staceestnbrg]

Love Matt ;) xoxox

[nothingtosing]

I heart Matt

[NsIX3]

It's quite surprising to hear that he's bi-polar, I would of had no idea.

[speedojenkins]

Matthew Good's an incredibly intelligent musician, believe me you just don't get a whole lot of that these days, he's very opinionated, open, honest, and in a way you sort of see how his personality shows through his music, I guess that is why he is so good, there is so much more that you want to learn from the guy and often times you never really know why guy you are talking too. It fascinates me that Matthew Good is so open about his Bi-Polar, what does George say at the end of the interview.

[gregx4x5]

keep it in ur pants

[popplesaremint]

I love Matt, and I usually love George, but that felt like a bad interview...I wouldn't push him on subjects like that. If I had MATT GOOD on a couch in front of me, lol I would have a totally different approach ;)

[kaseyhawrylak]

Matt's always been a very straight forward person like that, George didn't really push him on anything, If you've been to one of his concerts he talks openly about his bipolarity, and how he hates a lot of the stuff he did with Matthew Good Band.

[crestfallen999]

This guy is amazing. my fav for sure. i very much still love his old stuff. brings back memories.

[JaziB]

I hear Matt Good's a real asshole.

[Albeleo]

Oh come on people that was funny!

[thehigherdrake]

matthew good fucking rules.....u dig best artist of all time.....u dig the best singer EVAAAAAAA.......CAN U DIG IT

[Kenster1025]

I still wish it was the 90's, I remember Matthew Good when I was 8.

[Fatedmeltzface]

Matthew Good is very still around still, singing AMAZING solo acoustic stuff, check it out.

[XantinovaX]

Omg I know how you feel. Brings back memories. I still love his new stuff though.

[MichelleObradovic]

I love him. And so does everyone else. Simply said. Simply put.

[beavisHchrist]

Matthew, youre not 'bi-polar' it's just called being an artist; very high highs and very low lows come with the territory for types like you.

[Tyelly]

FUCKER! He was diagnosed, by a doctor. I don't think he woke up one day and said "Holy shit, I'm gonna tell everyone I have bi-polarity because I want to cover up the fact that I'm an artist and am to embarassed to show that I have high highs and low lows just like all the other artists." Suck my chode. pwnd.

[beavisHchrist]

calm down Tyelly, you don't have to "yell" at me online. Keep doing that, and the doctors who know everything will start calling you borderline personality or some other such buzz word to make themselves sound like experts on human emotions.

[apparitionofdirt]

love matt good. His music is amazing and he's pretty funny too. Anyone else think he's too underrated?

[mandygurl6]

OH MY GOSH YES!

he's got such a beautiful voice, he's soooo talented.

[Parkedition]

That Guy is a genius. His music is revolutionary. pure ART. Well spoke Matt

[divadbroad]

matt good is wicked awsome. great canadian musician up there with olp. deffinately

[kcdesert05]

This guy is a genius. Without a doubt, one of the best Canadian musicians. Right up there with Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, and Alaniss.

[rikshaw33]

Kudos Matt...Perhaps if more high profile, intelligent Canadians spoke of personal experience with mental ilness.....It might one day lose the stigma attached to it. I honestly can't figure out sometimes why they call the larger humans.......grown ups! I often think we(the adults) have the most growing up to do. Again...well done Matt!!

[DylanSensFan]

He's definitely brilliant.

[phyerdragon76]

I wish he'd run for Prime Minister. One of the best of our time

[lesmcluffalot]

Kewlios

[llthgig]

NO WAY! Matthew Good was on the hour? Was this when the hour came to Vancouver? I'm so jealous that I couldn't get tickets for it!! frick!!!!

[matros22]

I have a new found respect for this man.

[itfelldown]

This man makes brilliant music. Great interview.

[jillenium00]

Awesome, I missed this episode. I had no idea Matt Good was on. He was my highschool music hero. Still listen to Beautiful Midnight every now and then. Wish you could've had a longer interview.
