GOOD CHARLOTTE
with Billy Martin

Steph: State your name and what you do in the band.
Billy: I'm Billy and I play guitar.

Jess: If you were a piñata, what shape would you be and what would you be filled with?
Billy: I think I would be one of those little Mexican donkeys with candy. I like them.

Steph: Alright, if you were walking down the street and you came across an explosive camel reading a book about Steve, what would you do?
Billy: I'd ask who made the book about Steve. I'd want to know. I don't know. I'd probably grab the book and run.

Steph: What would you do if you were walking down the street and you came across a radioactive llama dancing a tango with Steve?
Billy: I don't understand these questions at all. These are crazy.
Steph: I don't know what I'd do. Probably run away and say that that's really weird.

Jess: Okay, explosive camels land the same day you inherit 5 million dollars and say they're going to blow up the earth. How old are you?
Billy: 21.

Steph: Who inspired you to play guitar the most?
Billy: Daniel Johns.

Jess: What's your favorite scene from Nightmare Before Christmas?
Billy: I think the very beginning when like all the ghosts come out of the cemetery and it's going through the whole town. I really just like the very beginning. It's very dramatic.

Jess: Who was your favorite band when you were younger… like… really younger?
Billy: How old is really younger?
Jess: Like, before Silverchair came out.
Billy: Uh, before Silverchair it was Nirvana, before Nirvana it was Metallica it was… I don't know. Actually, I think it went from New Kids On The Block, to Vanilla Ice, to Metallica, to White Zombie, to Nirvana, to Silverchair. That was my order when I was a kid.

Jess: When you were in high school did you get in trouble for anything big?
Billy: No. I've never got a detention ever. I was really quiet. I didn't really get in trouble in school.

Steph: What's your favorite tattoo?
Billy: Um… I don't know. I can't pick a favorite one really.
Steph: I like your Overflow one.
Billy: I like that one too because I got it for Steve and JD so it's pretty special. But then I got this one for GC and then I got all my family on there… I couldn't pick a favorite one.

Steph: Only on Thursdays?
Billy: Yeeeah. I'm gonna get that tattooed on me.
Steph: You should. Do you know how funny that would be?
Billy: It WOULD be funny, but I'm not gonna do that.

Steph: Do you have any last comments?
Billy: This was the weirdest interview I've ever done.
Steph: Is that a good thing?
Billy: Uh, I don't know.
Steph: I think it is.
Billy: I think it is too.
Steph: Because it's original, right?
Billy: Yeah. It's for the crazy gnomes website!
