Hall About Pop: Good Charlotte set for its ‘Revival'

Since Nicole Ritchie's pregnancy confession on "Good Morning America," Joel Madden has become known as a daddy-to-be, yet for his band, Good Charlotte, this month means much bigger things. The guys are on Justin Timberlake's "FutureSex/ LoveSounds" tour, their first tour in almost three years. They started their run with Justin this past Monday and will be on the bill Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena. The pairing of rock and R&B seems a little strange, so just how did Good Charlotte go from rock show headliner to Justin's opening act?

In 2002, Good Charlotte broke into the pop charts with a fun, upbeat rock sound. Their album "The Young and the Hopeless" featured four hits and eventually sold more than 3 million copies. But like every underground band that hits it big, fans began to accuse them of selling out. So when it came time to hit the studio again, Good Charlotte wanted to try something different. Their 2004 album, "The Chronicles of Life and Death," featured strings and more mature lyrics, and got them mixed reviews and very few radio hits. They did tour behind the album with Simple Plan and Relient K, but when the tour wrapped, the band was ready for a break.
