Good Charlotte's Joel Madden Spills on His Aussie Rock Cravings!

Hey music fans! 🎸 Ever wondered which Aussie rock jam has Joel Madden from Good Charlotte wishing he'd penned it himself? Well, he's just dropped the deets, and it involves some killer tunes from down under!

In a recent chat on Triple M’s Homegrown with Matty O, Joel took us on a whirlwind tour of his favorite Aussie tracks. And guess what? Silverchair's 'Israel’s Son' snagged the top spot! 🥇 It’s that iconic anthem from their debut album Frogstomp that had everyone rocking out back in '95.

Joel couldn’t help but name-drop other Silverchair gems like “Tomorrow,” “Straight Lines,” “Slave,” and “Suicidal Dreams” as absolute bangers he'd love to have authored. He even gave a nod to Gotye’s mega-hit “Somebody That I Used to Know” and the classic tracks from Crowded House. But when push came to shove, “Israel’s Son” was his ultimate pick.

Joel's got mad respect for Daniel Johns, the brains behind Silverchair’s epic sound. He raved, “I’d love to talk to Daniel. He’s got great perspective, and he’s always been himself.” How cool would that convo be?!

Why’s all this Aussie love on Joel’s mind? Good Charlotte is getting ready to rock out on their upcoming Aussie tour! 🦘🎶 Joel shared his excitement about the tour and gave us a sneak peek into their new tunes from their eighth studio album. While chatting, he couldn’t resist hyping up Australia’s music scene, calling it an innovator always ahead of the curve.

Just a reminder, Good Charlotte has their own impressive Billboard track record, rocking multiple Top 10 albums, including The Chronicles of Life and Death and their 2002 breakout The Young and the Hopeless. Can’t wait to see what they bring live!

Stay tuned for more updates, and maybe queue up some Good Charlotte and Silverchair in honor of this epic music mashup! 🎧🤘
