Recently we met up with Joel and Billy from Good Charlotte at this awesome hotel in London where you can change the color of the room with a switch (Billy changed it to green).

VICE: Let's talk about all the haters.

Billy: Like, in high school that type of shit happened on a daily basis. Cuz I used to wear nail polish and eyeliner, they would just be like, "Why do you do that? Are you gay?" and I'm like, "No," and they're like, "Well, why do you do it?" and I'm like, "Cuz I'm in a band," and they're like, "So. You don't have to fuckin' wear makeup," and I was like, "You don't get it."

Jocks just wish they could get tattoos and go to all this shit, but, like, they don't have the balls, so they play football instead and do what their parents want them to do.

Who are the most annoying kind of haters?

Joel: Like, all the kids that loved AFI, and then AFI got bigger, and they're like, "AFI's not cool anymore," but AFI just made the best record in my opinion that they have ever had. All the kids that are saying they're not cool anymore, it's like…WHATEVER. They're cooler than ever to me. Like now, instead of getting only one AFI T-shirt at Hot Topic, you can get five AFI T-shirts, and to me that's awesome growth. The natural evolution of a great band is to get bigger, and, like, you know, I think if Minor Threat were still around today, they'd be bigger than ever.

Is that what hardcore's all about?

Joel: I think it's just sorta like something to be passionate about. Whether you're a straight-edge hardcore kid or a vegan hardcore kid…there's all these, like, rules…and things they follow, and I think it's cool. Cuz I think whether it's just being a part of something or whatever, but it's like, no more is it just like, "I like hardcore music" stuff. It's "I like hardcore music and I'm down with this band and I'm not down with this band."

You guys want to talk about being ’full of shit’ and being a ’fraud’?
One minute Vice Magazine have Alice Dellal as a massive hippy "don’t" in their do’s & don’ts and the next they’re putting her tits all over their magazine and licking her arse.

Sometimes Vice is good, sometimes it’s bullshit.
Whatever.
But all the fucking comments!?
If you don’t like Good Charlotte stop reading articles about them & shut up about it!

i think bands like good charlotte are brilliant, without listening to blink 182 when i was 12 i would have never got into the great music that i love today. and i still fucking love them i’m so glad they’ve reformed. SICK

so fuck the haters, the dicks that protrude from their forehead should curl into their mouths and make them shut the fuck up

OOOOH what would so and so say, they’re not real punk...blah blah
who gives a shit what the guy from minor threat would say he inspired other kids to pick up guitars and drumsticks and make music and something of their lives instead of us LOSERS that waste their time sitting chatting shit about people we don’t know and never met.

that is all

i used to be a gc fan when they first started out (granted i was a lot younger then), and i have to say the madden twins are the biggest bunch of frauds ever. considering they used to write songs about how they hated materialistic people and vacuous girls who strive to be popular, they did a pretty quick u-turn in dating/having babies with nicole richie and paris hilton. these men are nothing but fakes, but i think everyone here (over the age of 13) already knew that.
