      I remember back when Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was just worn out on the radio being two or three times on the way to school and on the way back from school everyday for over a couple of months I'm pretty sure and that's being very lenient with the time! I never understood why this song didn't get no where near that much airtime it was way better, and it was cool of Matt and Synyster to help out by being in the song because they had already started getting quite a bit of recognition by that time along with the fact that they made that song what it was with their parts without taking all the shine away from GC which earns them more respect from me!

  • @xdudeawesomeness
    @xdudeawesomeness 8 лет назад +185

    You can tell how skilled of musicians M. Shadows and Synyster Gates are because of how they didn't just show off the whole time. They could have easily stolen the show, but they adapted to the genre and the band and killed it with simplicity, especially on Syn's part. He could've just swept arpeggios that whole time, but he just gave a simple, melodic solo.

    • @CallsignSlate
      @CallsignSlate 8 лет назад +14

      Yeah I realized that. I was expecting a typical a7x style solo from syn but he went with a more melodic approach

    • @mcorp4268
      @mcorp4268 8 лет назад +11

      He made the solo simple because from what I can tell, Good Charlotte aren't really a technical band instrumentally.

      +CallsignSlate - Many of Syn's solos with A7X are melodic, even some of the more technical ones. He usually doesn't just try to show off (for example sweeping during a ballad would be showing off), and he just does what fits the song the best.

    • @Crystalvampire66

  • @nevadacampbell4859
    @nevadacampbell4859 10 лет назад +11

    I think that this is a great collaboration because that Shadows' lyrics send it over the top, and Synyster Gates has a amazing closeout solo that still has his signature, touché boys!

    HALFWAY THRU 2024 AND I'M STILL SCREAMING EVERY SINGLE WORD TO THIS SONG SOBER TODAY IN MY 30's.. When it first came out I was living in my car so strung out on Heroin and prescription opiates that I lost everything and everyone in my young life then,..I wooly drive to this abandon bridge every night.. And just scream 'LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON,I WAS OUT ON MY OWN NOW IM TRYIN TO FIND MY WAY BACK HOME.. BAPTISED IN THE RIVER.. I'M DELIVERED"...
    I finally seen the vision of my life.. And I delivered myself through that fire.. Sober 9 yrs thanks to amazing songs like this That kept me fighting... NEVER GIVE UP MY FRIENDS.. NO MATTER HOW DARK THE PATH BECOMES.. TRUST THAT IF U KEEP WALKING.. YOU'LL FIND THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY,!

      This came out before I got sober in 2009. I sought God for 10 years, and found Christ in 2019. The lyrics to this song didn't hit me until today.
      So amazing to hear that God restored you. I pray you're living an amazing life for Him, and continuously finding comfort in His love for you. We're truly the blessed ones.

    I remember listening to this when I was 8 the song melody and tone caught me and when I got older I really understood the lyrics.
    "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA" *is him comparing the modern city to a place of wickidness*.
    "Footsteps that were next to me have gone their seperate ways" *When he embarked on his path to God people who he though would be by his side no matter the reasoning have abandoned him and he is on this journey alone.*
    "Baptized in the River on my own" *He says that even if there is no Baptist he will do it alone he will do it himself.*

    • @threearrows2248
      @threearrows2248 3 месяца назад

      God baptizes us by changing our hearts. I think the lyrics mean he wants to turn away from the wickedness of the people around him, but he's the only one he knows turning away from it. He's running back to the Lord and away from what he thought he wanted in the world.

    For anybody wondering: This song isn't about Christianity or religion at all. It's just using it as a metaphor. The song is about living in L.A. trying to make it big in the industry and how it's not always as great and glamorized as it looks but once you're in, it's tough to get out.
