Good Charlotte Fans Join Them In 'The River'

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Sony Records) - GOOD CHARLOTTE launched www.beintheriver.com on Friday, February 9. The site allows fans to personalize the video for "The River," the first single off their fourth studio album GOOD MORNING REVIVAL, set for release March 27 on Epic/Daylight. Users will be able to create their own customized version of the video by uploading up to ten personal photos which will be incorporated onto huge screens in the background. Fans can then watch the video, send it to their friends, use the link that is generated to post their personalized video on social networking sites and get a co-directing credit on their video.

Rockers GOOD CHARLOTTE-JOEL MADDEN (vocals), BENJI MADDEN (guitar), BILLY MARTIN (guitar) and PAUL THOMAS (bass)-brought longtime friends and fellow musicians M. Shadows and Synyster Gates (of Avenged Sevenfold) into the mix to collaborate on "The River," which marks the first time GOOD CHARLOTTE has officially collaborated with another artist on an album. The song is an impassioned rocker about sin and redemption that traverses the dark side of Los Angeles.
For the video, GOOD CHARLOTTE joined forces again with director Marc Webb (Good Charlotte's "Festival Song," A.F.I.'s "Love Like Winter," My Chemical Romance's "Helena") and shot on location in Los Angeles. The video-which includes an appearance from M. Shadows and Synyster Gates-features GOOD CHARLOTTE performing alongside the concrete L.A. river bank that runs through the city, contrasted with classic images of the beauty and history of Los Angeles and in a huge warehouse with scenes of various people and places that make up the landscape of Los Angeles flashing in the background.
