New Good Charlette Video

Post by I AM ME »

Anyone else think it's a rip-off of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun"? Sure it's diffrent and not a mirror image but some on it's definatly really close.

Swirling colored sky
Warped Reality
Super colors
Depressed looking band
Suburbian set

there's more too

it's basically a walk through the neighborhood that BHS took place in

something else about the song too

it annoys me how even when they do a "dark" song, they break out into a poppy happy chorus. WTF? GC isn't 'Dark' and 'brooding" now. They just wanted to add some depth and angst to the music without losing the little girls and pop radio.

Could anyone see Kurt, Chris Cornell, or Layne Staley (all well documented kings of "dark" and "Brooding" breaking into some cheap ass, commercial pop chorus like that? Blink coudl kinda pull it off, but GC just makes me want to put needles in my ear drums.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

because tim burton directed both of those (if i'm not mistaken) and billy adores him .. the artwork on the cd is supposed to have been drawn by billy with tim in mind too .. i haven't seen the cd though.

It does bear a startling resemblane to "Black Hole Sun", but I could also see how its inspired by Edward Scissorhands. I gotta agree with Sean that if they're shooting for a "dark" song, poppy chorusses dont really fit. :P Thats only my opinion though, im not a fan of the band.

I hate the screaming though. It just sounds foolish and pathetic.

i really like the 'screaming'... oh well

if you want to hear something else for the album, i suggest 'walk away' and 'the truth' (i love them both to bits)
you have to, you just have to trust me

i just think it's a little fake and insulting, when they try to makea dark brooding song and then break out into this poppy shitty chorus. Why can't they at least make the song fit together?
