With money
He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in
All situations
Cause he pays for everything

Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in
All situations
Cause he pays for everything
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter

Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things

Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free

These are a few
Of her favorite things

没有人知道这一对出生成长於美国马里兰州Waldorf镇,普遍存在的中低收入户家庭中的双胞胎兄弟Benji与Joel,也有这一天的到来。 自小即对音乐有浓厚兴趣的Benji,打从16岁开始便以自学的方式开始了他接触吉他的第一步;而Joel则充分展现他对於演唱的热忱与兴趣。「几乎没有任何迟疑吧,Joel跟我的脑子便开始了钗h创作音乐的想法,」Benji如此回忆著当初。「我们在放学之后便直接奔回家里的房间,每天都花费好几个小时在演唱和创作音乐。」 就在贝斯手Paul以及吉他手Billy正式加入他们的团队之后,乐团名称灵感来自於一本儿童读物的他们决定以Good Charlotte(狂野夏洛特)为他们闯荡乐坛的全新开始,并且也利用他们的邻居住所的地下室,面对著大约20位的听众,展开了他们首次的小型公开表演,试试他们的身手。 尽管他们手头上几乎没有任何金钱足以让他们添购所需的音乐器材,也没有任何能够取巧利用的裙带关系好让他们顺利进入庞杂现实的唱片工业,但是他们兄弟俩依旧将他们自己完全地投身於他们所热爱的音乐世界中。他们自食其力完成他们的创作母带,亲笔撰写他们自己的简历,并且利用他们从一本杂志获得的不同唱片公司名单,开始一封封邮寄他们的资料与作品,只期望能够有所斩获。 就当Billy正式调整转换至乐团的第二吉他手位置之后,尚属草创之初的Good Charlotte正式确定了乐团整体的编制,他们的努力演出也让他们在一场当地的音乐竞赛中赢得冠军,而他们的一首作品「Can't Go On」也幸运地被收录在一张以地区性为主,汇整录制的新人合辑宣传片当中。 「我们没有任何经费,也没有任何交通工具,也没有能够登台表演的机会。我们的母亲住在一个好像是某个邻居的简陋小屋中,而她所仅仅拥有的只是一部小型货车。她对我们兄弟俩说:"你们两个就开这台小货车去进行表演工作吧,我会在路上搭别人的便车或著我可以自己慢慢走去上班的地方。"她对我们的好以及体谅之心,就这麼简单地告诉了我们她永远支持我们的用心与爱护。」 当我们在1999年12月与Lit於纽约一起表演时,所有的唱片公司都顿时表现了他们对我们的兴趣。我们在2000年的5月正式与唱片公司在我们录制专辑的录音室中签下合约,而我们的首张专辑「Good Charlotte」就在四个月后正式发行上市。 在他们发行他们的首张专辑「Good Charlotte」之后,很快地,身为乐团发起人的两兄弟Joel与Benji得到了一个演出机会,让他们在MTV频道的一个摇滚音乐节目「All Things Rock」中,以客串VJ的身份开始首次的电视主持工作,而这一次的曝光机会也让他们的知名度扶摇直上。而选自他们第二张专辑「The Young & The Hopeless」当中的几首单曲包括「Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous」,「The Anthem」以及「Girls & Boys」等作品的大获全胜,也终於让他们品尝到成左煽M一切苦尽甘来的甜美,这热卖高达5百万张的唱片销售数字,也促使他们成为全球乐坛中不可多得的强力摇滚乐队之一。 现在的Good Charlotte,不再是过去困苦的小孩,他们已然是富有知名的摇滚明星。多数的传媒在谈到他们时也对他们赞誉有加。但是这一切荣耀光彩的景况并不代表了他们已经忘记来时路,忘记自己的根本。事实上,相较於过去,他们此刻更是努力在他们的音乐事业上,让他们的梦想能够永久持续下去,就如同他们甫缴出的最新专辑「The Chronicles Of Life And Death」所呈现的成果般。尽管他们仍旧坚持於他们固有的流行庞克化风格,但力求创新的Good Charlotte,也利用了这张新作加入了与过往不同的元素如流行舞曲以及管弦乐音。极为清楚地,他们是那种时时刻刻寻求成长突破的音乐人,也只希望藉由诚心创作的音乐向听众传达他们的讯息。
