Good Charlotte - Concert Review



(By: Delani Ennis)




On Friday, November 11th, 2016.  “Good Charlotte” performed at “Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel” in Provenience, Rhode Island.   While, the outside appearance of the venue was nice, the overall venue experience was less than stellar.   To start, fans were left waiting in the cold, for over an hour after doors were to open.   Next, although the tickets specified re-entry was allowed, the venue denied the ability to leave and return.   The interior was dark, dirty, and way over crowded.  Several attendees were injured crowd surfing the mosh pit, due to a jam-packed general admission and let's not even discuss the inferior sound systems!  Words cannot even describe, how truly vapid and offensive the opening acts were.  If not for the exceptional performance by Good Charlotte, the evening would have been a total bust.   Good Charlotte, consisting of members,  Joel Madden on lead vocals, and his twin brother, Benji Madden on lead guitar.  Along side them, was Paul Thomas on bass guitar, Bill (Billy) Martin on rhythmic guitar and keyboard, and last but not least, Dean Butterworth on the drums.  From the energy given from the band, along with the crowd, the night was known to be a hit.  Their vast setlist included hit songs such as, “The Anthem”,  “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love”, and ended with “The Anthem”.  They also included new songs, such as, “Life Changes” and “The Outfield”.   All in all, while the venue certainly was not a hit, Good Charlotte rocked the house!
