Paper Mag has posted new interview with Benji and Joel Madden about Cardiology.
PAPER featured Joel and Benji Madden on the cover of its L.A. Issue in the fall of 2008 — a time that Joel notes, when I recently met the twin brothers at a small recording studio off Sunset Boulevard, now feels like a lifetime away. Indeed, things have since changed quite a bit for the Maddens. These days, the brothers spend most of their time working on the new Good Charlotte album, Cardiology, and Joel has become a father. He and his longtime partner, Nicole Richie, have two children and are, according to several recent reports, engaged. After Joel spent a few minutes speaking on the phone to his two-year-old daughter, Harlow, the 31-year old twins sat down with PAPERMAG to discuss returning to music, having toddlers as best friends, and pursuing a possible second career as motivational speakers. It seems like the Madden brothers have grown up, and that’s only the beginning.
You began recording Cardiology at the end of last year, but then decided to scrap the whole thing and start over.
Benji Madden: That was really kind of an emotional roller coaster. I was kind of down for a while and kind of hating myself, going through self-esteem issues. I woke up one day and was like ‘Man, I gotta get my shit together.’ And that’s when the record started, and I really started being happy and taking care of myself. A lot of people do better music when they’re messed up, and depressed, but I think Good Charlotte makes feel-good music. We’re much better when we’re happy. I think the first producer we worked with took some of the wind out of my sails. I felt like it wasn’t right the whole time, but I was like “I gotta have faith, this guy is big-time.” And I should have listened to my gut.
Joel Madden: It made the record better, it made us work harder.
BM: It made me believe in myself, and it made me think ‘it doesn’t matter how many records this guy sold,’ that’s not what music is about for me. I told everyone we had to start over, and everyone felt it too. So we went back with Don [Gilmore], who made our first record and our last record. I just called him up and told him the whole trip I was on, and where my mind was at, and he was like, “This is the best I’ve ever heard you, we have to do a record together.”
JM: This record — we’re really proud of it and really excited for the first time in a long time.
