Good Charlotte Billy Martin 20th Anniversary Guitar play through Livestream

[@ZackRamsey14]

I loved this dude. This album was what I cut my teeth on back when I was like 12 and got my first guitar. Learning Walk By felt like a was a guitar god xD Then a few years later, GC was my first concert

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Appreciate that!

[@couldyoupleasecallmecordelia]

GC for life 💜 I can't believe it's been 20 years since my teen years spent going to GC shows and Warped Tours. Some of my best friends came into my life beacuse of GC. My life definitely wouldn't be the same if GC hadn't existed.

[@BillyMartinChannel]

thank you!

[@angelgael5132]

My girlfriend (who is the biggest fan since 2002) and I were cuddling enjoying this. Thanks a lot, Billy. You're the best 🤘🏻

[@Relegated]

I've been a part of the GC family from a small town in the North Eastern hills of India since high school. I'm 31 now. And, it's just overwhelming how far we've come. Great to see Billy still kicking it. Oh! Such good years with bangers for records.

[@risepal3208]

Hey, this is Paljor from Sikkim, India, the first thing I did when we had internet was I downloaded Lifestyle of the rich and the famous and it took me almost a week to download it, that was 2005 I was 14 and now I am 29 and I still love Good Charlotte my fav Band. 😊

[@Tom364]

Just watched some videos of the when we were young festival. Happy to see GC back and I hope you play more and make more music!

[@nicolasurrutiaaraneda5701]

Thanks you Billy, from Chile!

[@threepowerchords]

Billy! I know it might sound odd coming from a 34-year-old guy like me, but I'll never forget the first time I saw you. It was at the Zenith in Paris when I was just 14. You guys were the main support for Sum 41, and I had only heard "Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous" on French radio the night before the concert, so I can't really say I was familiar with your music yet. You kicked off the show with "New Beginning," and I was standing in the left side of the mosh pit, right where you were on the stage. I had never seen anyone with such a rad haircut and those cool black bracelets, rocking that sick PRS guitar. Still to this day, it’s one of the best shows I ever attended. You, along with a few other musicians, are the reason I picked up a guitar, joined a band, and went on many tours. I'm sure you hear this a lot, but I don't think you fully realise the impact you had on kids like me who are now proud fathers and husbands. Thanks, dude!

[@BillyMartinChannel]

My fav kind of comment, appreciate that!☺

[@SammyVengeance92]

So awesome that you did this, man! Learned the songs while playing along with you, it was really cool how you showed the chords before each song. Love this album! Been re-living my childhood blasting this anthemic beast of a record. Thanks for the effort, stay safe!

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Comments like these are why I did it. 👊🏻😁

[@urliktheslayer]

I remember my freshman year of high school during Covid (yes I’m a younger kid, I’m 19) I remember in class watching this stream when it first aired. I was such a music nerd and I’d been playing electric guitar all my life. I remember going home and learning the whole album front to back from this video. 4 years go by and I walk into a Sam ash before they closed, and I spot a Billy Martin signature PRS on the hook and I almost cried Istg. In freshman year I wanted one of those guitars so badly, I remember looking on eBay and reverb constantly for a deal on one with no luck. And then suddenly I walk into my local Sam ash and there it is on the rack. I bought that guitar and without a doubt out of the many other instruments in my collection, it’s my favorite. Thank you Billy for being one of my biggest musical and artistic inspirations, your awesome, big love from NJ 💚⚰️🦇🧛

[@BillyMartinChannel]

I really love stories like this, happy to have played a role in your love of music! Enjoy the guitar 🤘🏻

[@gerardcuomohopplongebouvie1311]

Wow can’t believe I just found this now this is awesome. Would love to see the young and the hopeless!

[@JunjiDorito]

Going through a hardh time right now and found this. GC have been one of my favourite bands since I was 13! I'm 34 now! Doesn't matter what age i am, if i'm going through a tough time GC's music will always be there to get me through it

[@Earthwormjimm]

I always tell anyone that will listen that this album has some of the best guitar/drum/bass tones. It’s huge. I love how that record sounds and I wish I knew what amps (assuming mesa boogie) they used to track it

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Thank you! Back then I was using a Mesa Dual Rec and Benji was playing through a Soldano rig. So its a combo of those two!

[@melissafraser3933]

Good Charlotte has been my absolute favourite band for 20 years. & Billy you’ve been my number 1 since day dot. I stumbled across this video for the first time yesterday and watched start to finish. May have shed a tear when you started the first song. Such an incredible video. I learnt SO much about Good Charlotte and about yourself. Hopefully you do more of these! 🖤

[@ambear9]

omg this made me so happy, I remember going to my friend's house so her parents could drive us to the store to buy this album when it came out. Still one of my all time favorite bands

[@sick-noises]

I'm always a little late to the internet stuff, but thank you for this, Billy. Just subscribed and will be continually watching. Been listening to Joel's pod and was wondering what you and Paul have been up to. Been a massive fan since 2001 and never stopped for a second. Thank you and all of GC for helping me through my teenage years and continue helping me through my grateful adulthood.

[@FerkuC.Martinez]

One of my favorites guitar players! Thanks for this 🤟

[@andresstoner5839]

I bought my first Guitar because of Good Charlotte! and started to play because of Billy! thanks for the great memories and also for the encourage that you do ! awesome video, it makes me realize that music should be simple and enjoyable !

[@BillyMartinChannel]

🤘🏻😄

[@TranzparentMethods]

Yeah, I just commented, but I would like to point out that I grew up on Bluegrass music, that has some of the best harmonies EVER... That's what drew me to GC. The harmonies between Joel and Benji are something to write home about. I would say that "Chronicles of Life and Death" is still an album that my wife and I love. We were SO young!!! I was 22 and she was 20. I'm 39, pushing 40 in February and she's pushing 37, in January... Thanks for this Billy!!! "Seasons" is still, to this, day, my favorite GC song. The harmonies at the end push harmony boundaries. Highs and lows, mids... Such a great song for vocal harmony.

[@StevieDInVegas]

Love it. Big fan from the first album. Thank you for this.

[@RD-gm9wz]

Hope you guys come back to the UK soon! When I was in Toronto back 2007 I can’t remember the name of the radio station but you guys was there doing an interview which was just around the corner from the hotel I was staying at. Keep up the amazing work! Love from the UK!

[@angelataylor4438]

This was absolutely brilliant, I've been having a hard time recently and watching this made feel so much better about everything. Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@BillyMartinChannel]

glad it could help!

[@Metalcsirke91]

Hello! I'm a Hungarian fan of yours. I’m sorry the band couldn't come last, but I hope I can see you in the future. You were a favorite of my teen-age and you are defining figure of my adulthood. I love you! ^^

[@biakguite1992]

big fan since a very long time, there's no songs of good Charlotte that I didn't know or haven't heard of..

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Appreciate that!

[@donnawightman959]

Omg yes 🖤 please do this for The Young & The Hopeless as well! I love this album but I didn’t start listening to y’all until the second album but then I listened to this one and was like how did I not hear this album! Love y’all! YOU were always my favorite but y’all will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ huge fan and always will be

[@A_R4iiNB0W]

I was 13 years old when this came out... wow this is so nostalgic.

[@economadic2103]

Yes yes yes!!! Singing along feels so good! Just put up some Good Charlotte posters saved from my teenage years then I found this!! So good 😊😊

[@pauljosse]

I still love this album. Saw you in Auckland on 07 it was so cool

[@kayajean2412]

AHHH 20 years -- wild how time flies. It has been amazing seeing your growth and success, so so so well deserved. Also I definitely cut my hair like yours in 2000.. didn't quite come out the same LOL. thank you for everything you have given. You all have helped me get through some shit with your music and I know almost any other fan feels the same way, all I can say is thank you deeply. Also-- MARYLAND!

[@muhammadfitrianto6462]

thank you, Billy. from Indonesia 🇮🇩 since 2000 - now.

[@turnergaming125]

The Chronicles of Life and Death is my favorite album by good Charlotte of all time. You guys were on some real shit back then and its heavily relevant now.

Appreciate u! 👊🏻

[@darkraven2116]

Awe man so sad I missed this! Billy, you were a huge inspiration for me to start playing the guitar when I was a kid. I met you guys at a show in Saskatoon, Canada, a few years ago and it’s one of my best memories. I can’t thank you enough for all that you do! 💕 Much love!

[@darinsamx]

Loved the livestream! Now I'm here re-watching it all over again, also, thank you for showing the chords before each song, it was really cool to be able to play along during the livestream! Can't wait for the next one, thank you for doing this 😊

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Awesome to hear!

[@saulgoodblood]

What a treat finding this on a Monday night. Thanks Billy.

[@BillyMartinChannel]

enjoy! 😊

[@racowisescalante6544]

This was really amazing, I've watched this 3 times and you guy are so special for a lot of us.. that way you show everything so simple is great, I coming from Venezuela, a country that doesn't speak English and since I was 14 I had to learn English just to know what u guys said in your lyrics and now we can just watch you live streaming and its so cool feeling you so close to us.. I'm a guitar player as well just because someday 16 years ago I watched you playing guitar on MTV, and it was like "Wouuuu I wanna be like him." Loooll, thanks Billy for this long 20 years and congrats...

[@amandablack4986]

Oh wow. My mind is blown. I have always wanted to see yall do a show but never have I gotten lucky enough to catch yall in central FL. Thank you so much for all the time and effort yall have put in for us. Your guys' music has saved my life many many times. So much love for you all.

[@captaco22]

I’m a year late but you’re the reason I started playing guitar in 2002. I’ve been trying to find your signature PRS for years but they’re super rare now. Thanks for the play along!

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Amazing! Love hearing stuff like that 🤘🏻

[@Diijkstra]

happy 20th anniv GC. I remember when old bro introduced Good Charlotte when I was 12 (2002). GC songs is always in my heart.

[@BillyMartinChannel]

thanks..good big bro!

[@DeadLeafClover]

I am so disappointed that I missed this! You guys are always going to be my favorite band.

[@anaiddelgadillo4431]

Geez, 20 years! You guys were my first rock concert ever in Mexico City back in 2005, I still have a tshirt from that haha, you were such an important part of my teenage years, I learned some of your songs when I began playing guitar and actually became vegetarian because of you Billy, thanks to you I realized all the horrible things we do to animals, I remember you once said something like "if I don't eat my dog, why would I eat a cow?" and it made total sense!!!! I've been vegetarian since then :) Thank you and the guys so so much for all you've given us.

[@john1543]

Can’t believe I’ve only just found out this exists. Learning GC songs is what taught me to play guitar, I used to listen so hard and watch live vids as a 12/13 year old to try to figure out all the different parts 😂 feel like it really trained my ears and helped give me a different level of appreciation for music. I really hope you do streams for young and the hopeless and chronicles of life and death Billy, there’s still some guitar parts I’d love to see how they’re actually played on the record (especially the verses in SOS please just to see if I got it right 😂😭)

[@BillyMartinChannel]

thank you, I plan to do it for those albums as well!

[@melanietoth1098]

[@ivemgm6931]

Hi Billy im ivan,greetings from uruguay!!,gc fan since i was 9 now 26 :)

[@TranzparentMethods]

I LOVE how Billy is still rocking the PRS after all these years. You generally don't see Punk rock guitarists playing such a legendary ax. I've been a fan of GC since I first heard "Little Things" on a Musicland/Sam Goody sampler, way back in 2000. It wasn't until "The Young and the Hopeless" where I became a huge fan. To this day, my wife and I are huge fans. We saw you guys twice in 2016, the two firsts for both of us. Warped Tour 2016, and Chill on the Hill 2016, both in the Detroit area. Chill on the Hill you guys took the stage right before NOFX, also my first time seeing them, I was a fan since the mid 90's of NOFX. Interesting show.

[@BillyMartinChannel]

Thanks for the kind words!
