| Back to page 1 With The Chronicles of Life and Death, Good Charlotte have indeed crafted something special - an impressively emotional and creative work that affirms the band's intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity while also furthering their unique connection with their steadfast following. "I've always looked at Outkast as a group that I wanted to model Good Charlotte after," Madden says. "They're comfortable being themselves and they've never been afraid to take their music wherever they want to go. People are always lumping us in with the whole pop-punk thing. Well, if we're going to be a pop-punk band, then I want us to be the Outkast of pop-punk. "The fact is, we're so happy with where we're at," he concludes. "We can take Good Charlotte wherever we want to go and I'm comfortable that our fans are going to grow with us. As long as we're being honest - that's all our fans want, and we're definitely going to continue doing that. Just being ourselves, being honest, doing what we do."
