| Before Good Charlotte was Good Charlotte it was called 'The Benji Joel and Brian Band' Billy's 1st show as an official member of the band was at Flecher's in Fells Point. 'My Brother's Place' would often be packed with GC fans who would leave before the headlining band would take the stage, leaving only 12 or so people at the show for the headlining band. When GC first started out, they were on Fowl Records. In high school, some jocks rubbed Ben Gay on Joel's balls. Billy says he has a life sized poster of Daniel Johns (silverchair) in his rooms that he worships. The twins have worked at the Gow Salon, Red River BBQ, and Annapolis Bar and Grille, and at one point Joel worked at Food Giant. Joel likes rice krispy treats. After Benji graduated he went to community college but was too busy with the band and job so he dropped out. Paul doesnt understand why people love his hugs so much. Joel had the same boots for 6 years. The twins are good friends with Jimmy HaHa of Jimmy's Chicken Shack. Billy was in a band called Overflow before he joined GC. The twins cut off Billy's dreds and found a piece of Dorito in it. According to Josh (the twins brother), the twins dont look good in pink shirts. Benji dyed his hair pink because of Fraggle Rock. Billy is a vegetarian and converted Benji too. Lars from Rancid gave Benji a mohawl during the 2001 Warped Tour. Billy's favorite rapper is Don Gilmore. Benji's nose piercing was a Christman present. Paul has a GC scooter. Benji once drank pee. Benji says Joel was like Ralph Wiggum in high school. Joel doesnt like smiling in pictures. Paul's bass has 5 strings. Benji can juggle. Paul's dream is to go home and stay there. There producer was Don Gilmore, who has also produced Eve 6 and Lit. The video for "The Little Things" was directed was Nigel Dicks and Mandy Moore played the part of Joel's ex-girlfriend. Gc's demo was on Philadelphia's WPLY Y100 Cage Match for 15 nites in a row and had to be retired. This only happens 3 or 4 times a year. (this is also where i first heard of GC thank god for cagematch!!!!!!) All members of GC went to LaPlata high school. Benji and Joel graduated in 1997. Benji and Joel used ot get prank calls from kids pretending to be record companies. |
