"Hold On" Video Information
|
Good Charlotte has decided to release one more single from their massively successful 2002 album, The Young And The Hopeless. The song, titled "Hold On," is a message to fans who have written to Good Charlotte and told them they were thinking about committing suicide. Guitarist Billy Martin told us that he hopes the song will not only save lives, but encourage fans to help someone else in need. "There's plenty of kids out there who look up to people and listen to what people say. I know when I was fourteen or fifteen, if I heard a band speak out about something and I really liked the band, sometimes I would feel like I would relate. We've had so many kids come up and say some lyrics in your songs have helped me through things and, you know, like, it's given strength to help my friends through things, and like, you know, I think it does make a difference and kids will listen."
| The video for "Hold On" was directed by Sam Bayer, who directed the legendary clip for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden told MTV.com that late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and singer/songwriter Elliot Smith, who both committed suicide, were on his mind while shooting the video: "I think about (them and late Alice In Chains vocalist) Layne Staley ... and (other) people we have lost to kind of hopeless situations. And this song is totally about hope."
The clip, which reportedly includes footage of real people who have lost sons, daughters and friends, young people who have attempted suicide, and pictures of people who did kill themselves, was made in collaboration with the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. 11/18 5:54 pm send feedback
