here is my story lets all share..and let gc know how much we love them!!
Ever since day one. It was 2000, and Good Charlotte's first cd had just came out, I was in 8th grade and I was new to my middle school. I dident' fit in much, and it just well plain sucked. So one day, I heard about Good Charlotte, so I bought the album and the first song i heard was ::Little Things:: the whole song made sence to me, and i started to fall in love, everyday I went though hell constaly getting picked on, and everyday I would go home and just cry myself to sleep becuse i hated the people i went to school with and wanted to go home to a better place away from all the pain. So everyday, i just turn on the good charlotte album and listen to what good charlotte had to say.
Benji and Joel, went though alot , with never fitting in, and being rejected, so they wrote everyone off, and well the first album made me love them.
- The young and the hopeless-
debuted in 2002. the cd that acutalyl did save my l ife.
It was my freshman year, and i got alot of s*** from people, mainly i heard ''good charlotte sucks, there overrated, music stinks.." bla bla bla..
the same s***, everyday.
Yes it did get annoying, and it got under my skin, but good charlotte is what i tthought bout.
It got so bad to apoint tow here, i wanted to commit suicide, why live. this place sucks, and im sick of all the teasting, the cutting isent working, and the pills sure suck.. soo one night i decied to call it quits. end everything, and who woldent notice? no one in this place cares anyway? Well I was wrong, to my surprized, mom bought me good charlotte's cd, and i played it, not wanting to show my pain, i hapily took the cd, and went though the whole cd, when i fell apon "hold on" once i heard that song, i felt like joel was talking to me, telling me not to commint suicide, because i have so much to live for, and if i was to end my life now, think about all the people i wold be leaving behind and a young life i missed out on.
So after hearing that song, i lost it, and i got the help i needed, with the support of my best friend mandee. I was able to make it though my rough patch,, and to be straight honest if it wasent for good charlotte's hold on, i'd just be another statisitc.
Now i love all of good charlotte's albums, and all of their music, The've ma tured alot since day one, and so have i. its now 2008. and i have a fulltime job at a fast food resturant, and on the verge of managment. I thank good charlotte e veryday and well once i turned 18, I got my second tattoo in honer of the band that helped me thought my depression. i wil never regret this tattoo ever.
I would love to one day go see good charlotte, play live in chicago, sadly enought, i wont be able to everytime they come out, i have no way to get there, and i cold go , i know i'd be in heaven to see them live, is my dream. i would love to meet them in person. so i can hug them and thank them for saving me life. that would complete me like no other. thank you good charlotte, for all the great music, i am a huge fan forever and always!!

That is one heck of a story...
I know there's quite a few people on this board with GC tattoo's... I don't literally have the letters GC, but I have a scroll on my leg with the opening bars to 'Hold On' on it... hopefully soon, I'm getting it extended so that there's the title and loads of other stuff going on with it. Got a few more I want to get too...
My GC story... in brief, I too went through a lot of bullying at school, for being ugly and the likes, being a teachers pet and all the rest of it. The truth of the matter was, I just kept my head down, did what I needed to do to get through school and that was it, never really got under anyone's feet, easy target I guess. I had a small group of friends, or so I thought, but a couple of real best friends.
I think it was about 2001, when we were talking to a friend on the net, that he pointed us towards Good Charlotte... Since then I've been a major fan. They've helped me through thick and thin...
My Dad had 3 heart attacks and major surgery, other family members died, all the crap from school... Everything just seemed to go from bad to worse, but I got through.
Similar story to most I guess, the band gives a message people can relate too and take positive from it even when things are going bad, I know I did.
So to this day I'm a massive fan of the band and even now I know I can listen to their CD and feel just as passionatly about it as I did the day I bought them.
Fan for life... : )

I don't mean to discredit anyone. I don't have a GC logo or anything, as to me as a tatt, it doesn't hold enough meaning. All my tattoos have multiple meanings. And Whilst I love GC, it would mean them, but then not relate to anything in my life. As strange as that sounds.
I have a knife with 'hold on' written on it, as a possible tattoo. Its drawn by my friend Joe, who was killed two and a half years ago. It means the world to me, but it still takes a lot to even look at it without crying. He drew it for me when I used to self harm, and I ended up in hospital a few times. My parents went down the 'your so selfish' reasoning. Joe was the only person who stood by me, and helped me understand my parents reaction. Even though I have been told it might be closure, I'm not ready to answer questions about it open enough, to get it tattooed. It will happen, just not yet. I can't write this without crying.
I have a spiderweb on my elbow. Its also depression related, as I felt I was stuck in a rut, and it signifies me getting on my feet again (especially after Joe died). It is also a throw back to three musicians who have helped me on a personal level. Lars Frederikson, Tony Lovato and Benji Madden. These guys are my heroes, and their music helped me gain the confidence to get back up and get moving again. So that kinda goes out to Benji. But thats the only kinda GC tattoo I have at the moment.
When I have the guts my other one will be done.

GC never 'saved' me but they did help me cope with the death of my dad. I won't go into details but suffice to say that listening to GC every night I came out of the hospital depressed, helped me to feel alive. The hospital is a lonely place when someone you love is laying there helpless and dying. I am not the youngest GC fan by any means but I am a dedicated fan and one who appreciates them more then words can ever express. The guitar tattoo is the Benji Madden Signature guitar that I have. My guitar has sentimental reasons behind it and I love Benji Madden. He has this amazing attitude that I find awesome. :)

Nice stories and tattoos everyone. I love Good Charlotte for many reasons. Following them and their music gives me something to look forward to everyday. I have a lot of problems with depression and season affective disorder and they help me through the bad times.
I can especially identify with the Madden twins though because I haven't seen my father for many years, since I was in grade school. I tried to make contact when I was 19 but he basically blew me off. So, I know how they felt not having a Dad around.I feel like we have that in common and look where they are today. Granted I'm not famous but I've come along way and done pretty good for myself considering what I went through in my late teens/early 20s.
I hope to keep hearing music from Good Charlotte for years to come.
