Good Charlotte

Interview with Billy & Paul on Nov 30, 1999 by Archive Bot

Thanks to Erica at Sony Canada for setting up the interview for us and to the guys in Good Charlotte. 

PB: Do have anyone who is OBSESSED with you? Like hardcore obsessed.
Billy: There are a few kids who will drive really far distances to come to a show.
Paul: Which is really cool.
Billy: We don't have any really scary situations.

PB: You have someone, just tell us. We don't care. Just say it. *Laugh*
Paul: Actually there is this one guy he's got a pink spot in his hair. He's annoying and he's got this twin. They look exactly the same.

PB: Is this boy's name Benji by any chance?
Billy: That is his name. Ya we can never loose that kid.

PB: Ok do you have any girls that like love you.
Billy: Maybe.

PB: Just tell us, stop stalling.
Billy: We were in Florida and for some reason these two girls calls Paul's cell phone and say that they're on their way to Florida and evidently they talked to our manager and they were from Seattle and evidently they were stopping in every place we played across the United States. On their way to Florida and they were 16 and they ran away from home and they got pulled over and arrested because they ran away from home. Paul: I had to change my cell phone number. I think it's posted somewhere though.

PB: Do you think that A.C. Slater from Saved by the Bell is homosexual?
Billy: Naw, on the show he was getting Jessie Spano, so he was alright. 

PB: What are bad things you guys have done?
Billy: I'm a goody goody. I never do bad things.
Paul: Should I just pick one?
Billy: Benji likes to match his hair with his underwear and we caught him in a pink thong once. We videotaped it.

PB: For real?
Billy: Yea, the video will never get out but the story is out now.

PB: Do people throw things at you on stage?
Billy: I got hit in the head with a football once.

PB: That's so stupid.
Billy: It's cool man.

PB: Yea, what was the last show you were at?
Billy: NSync. Nsync.
Paul: BBMak.

PB: Where are you from?
Billy: Washington D.C.

PB: You like it there?
Billy: Ya. It's cool.

PB: What's one place you'd tell someone to go if they visited there? Not the cheesy monuments and stuff.
Bily: I'd tell them to go to Jinx Proof, a tattoo shop. It's probably the greatest tattoo place on the East Coast.
Paul: And the record shop beside it. 

PB: How many tatoos do you have?
Paul: 2
Billy: 7. I like these stars. There are five, one for each person in the band.
Paul: We all have a GC tatoo. After we got our record deal we went out and got it to celebrate.

PB: If you couldn't be in a band what would you do?
Paul: I'd be a farmer.
Billy: I'd draw comic books.

PB: Tell us a childhood story.
Paul: My brother used to torment me when I was little. I used to be chubby and he would just call me chubbs until I started to cry. (Benji comes by)

PB: Ok I heard something about you and you tell me whether it's true or not. My friend said that Jordan from New Found Glory told her that you aren't really punk rock and that when you're not on tour you totally change into this like preppy kid. *Laugh*
Paul: That's so funny.
Benji: He's just mad because when I stayed at his house and his mom was saying goodnight to us and she leaned to give us goodnight kisses her boob popped out. I look the same always. Jordan was just mad cause I was laughing so hard all night. Big nipples run in the family........
