wow. he sure is fat now. when your golden years are behind you it must be really hard to sluff out there with all that flab and blown vocal chords singing the same old crap every night.

it's like watching Marlon Brando playing Good, wearing a toupee.

i dunno which is sadder, his baldness or his obesity. the guys in his band all look 900 years old too, culled from craigslist toronto and slapping down the covertunes...

seems his new record sounds like his usual list of cliches with a liberal helping of him ripping off his own pop culture based mediocrity...singing about television and revenge...boo hoo.

he shoulda called the record " Tour Time For Tubby " .

did i mention how obese and sweaty he looks? like he's covered in the grease of his own failure...

Moo i say MOO!!!

here is his latest musical offerings..allthgough that is an insult to the term 'musical"..
more like goats being strangled to death in a bagpipe.

Yo suckingalemon, I'm really happy that you posted this photo and Imma let you finish, but this is a way better photo about meanies.

hate? hmm...i dunno about that. he's a windbag and his music is dated and lame.

you don't have to be "full of hate" to see that.

the fact that he has become an obese loser pretending to be a bald english professor makes it even worse. his career started cleaning the toilets right after beautiful midnight and then he just started whiiiiinnnniiinggg...

no wonder he is divorced? who wants a broke assed washout with man tits staring at you naked from the bathroom as he picks hair out of his comb? "wanna hear my new song? its called 'The Gravy Goats of Pompous High Part Deux...'it's about war!"

that's hot.

but you guys just keep on givin the mad props to him here at "Good Canadian Taste Monthly"..

I'd have to actually care to hate the guy instead of just finding his sweaty posturing extremely hilarious. there is nothing better tho than watching a guy plink away on an acoustic with his gunt trying desperately to pop out over his belt in a failed attempt to escape being attached to a failure like that....

but yeah..those 50 year old gunslingers in his band are pretty funny looking too. i guess "Coconuts" in Sudbury is short a cover band for the month he is on tour too...

you guys must be too busy writing your glowing "60 seconds to Mars" retrospective to get in here and defend Mr. Human Rights and his gravy problem.

I understand you are just voicing your opinion (although you are extremely rude) but voice it somewhere else, you know, somewhere where someone actually cares.  If you don't like him or his music then why bother replying to this article if you're just going to be a bitch? Not to mention you sound ridiculously insane. Sorry honey but at least Mr. Good has more fans than you will ever have. Much love cuntrag.

k219, i find your reply to be funny as i own a lot of fans. i bought them all for 25 cents a piece from a bankrupt fan factory so..you could be wrong. but to address the point you so eloquently made, he does have a lot of fat people who like him.

like you perhaps? perhaps you are balding as well?

this here thing you just typed into is a COMMENTS page...

this is where people leave comments about what they think. i also don't think it is rude pointing out that matt good is a fat bald guy with aged losers in his band who got dumped by his stripper/waitress wife because his career slumped and he looks like a strained oatmeal in a twelve man plaid tent... thats not rude.... but really, go have another tub of Hagen Das and tell yourself you are beautiful... baldy...

To begin with, I do not understand where you are getting the idea that Mr. Good is so everweight and bald, I have to wonder if you are living in a fun house with warped mirrors for walls. This would explain a lot I would imagine considering you must be a clown or a freakshow who lives in a run-down county fair, judging by your rhetoric and logic. However, now I feel bad for insulting the clowns and such folk.

To begin with, physical appearance has no effect on his musical talents and vision of what he wishes to portray on his album, or any other album. Nor does the age of the fellow musicians he chooses to play with have an affect on the musical capabilities; if there is one, I would have to say it would be a chance for more practice and experience to hone their music and be more professional. If they are 50 as you say, I would assume that many of these musicians have been playing their instruments for as many years as many of the 'big hit' artists that are played on repeat on corporate radio stations have been walking on this planet.

To say that Mr. Good'sbeen cleaning toilets since Beautiful Midnight just goes to show how little you must actually know about him. Considering he's been very busy, and has also been quite successful in his endeavours. Hospital Music debuted at #1 in Canadian charts, which is just as successful as Beautiful Midnight. Perhaps more so considering minimal advertising was used to sell the album. This is something he considers to be a great accomplishment due to the more mature nature of the album, unlike Beautiful Midnight which appealed to many drunken teenagers moshing to Load Me Up; something that Mr. Good never really wanted of his music.

The whining that you mention is him exercising his right as a democratic citizen and is providing a voice for those who are not able to be heard on their own. He provides logical arguments and writes them for those who want to read them, if you do not like it, do not read it. Everyone's entitled to political activism, and dissent is a natural and healthy aspect of our democracy. He is in pursuit of goals that he thinks will provide some good in the world. To insult that is just a disgrace upon the whole structure of our society.

This, of course, is more than I can say for you who seems to be 'whiiiiinnniiiing' over some fat bald guy and the fact that he released tour dates for his up and coming record. You've run out of things to say so you attack his personal love life? Something you have no right, let alone probably no knowledge of? That is pathetic in my opinion. It appears that you are the whiner, Jenni. I don't even understand how you think what you're saying isn't rude? You are blatantly attacking him! Where do you come off saying you aren't?

I recommend you stop your whining and instead of wasting time on a subject you clearly have no taste for, use it and do something positive.

wow, i didn't read that. too long. sure like reading love letters. so what does this have to do with him being bald, obese and having to play theatre gigs when he can't fill stadiums anymore? OH YOU LOVE HIM!

i guess his posting the details of his love life, divorce and drug abuse on his boring website makes his life all that more of a personal and private affair for him (no pun intended).

i like the bit where hhe talks about getting in the shower with his mom...mmmmm..hot. that needs to be a video where he just pops pills with his mom while drinkin beer in the shower...HAWT!

everyone misses the thinly veiled racist rants about service industry folks and cab drivers in and around vancouver from his former wife and BLOGGER QUEEN..i mean a guy with such high moral fiber paying for a blog for a woman like her to ramble on about her sense of entitlement...oh man..thats one smart and talented guy.

she's hitting the hockey players now, guys with real international careers and real bank accounts that don't live in a seniors tract out in the burbs...

i guess you seem to think his details are more private than he does, being that e posts everything from "stool day 254: soft. canceled show because my nipples hurt. what a hard world. call the whambulance" and things of that type...

but you snuggle up to your plastic disc tonight and convince yourself what a genius he is...better yet, get a sack of molding yams and some Valtrex and it'll be just like any other night with your hero...

I recommend you stop your whining and instead of wasting time on a subject you clearly have no brain for, use it and do something positive like keep posting your internet fanboy infatuations on craigslist where you can meet more people of your ilk.. you sound fat and bald too. you can say one thing tho, his obese and balding fan contingent sure can write good love letters...

Oh yes, you called it. Infact, he pays me to blow him every night. I'm hungry for his chub. I can never get my fill, I even snuggle with his dogs when he's not around so I might be able to sneak in a sniff of his balding hair.

Yes, I am a fan, but the reason why I defend him is not because I like his music, or agree with his political views in some cases, but because he is a human being who is being attacked for no apparent reason.

The fact that you refuse to acknowledge anything I wrote just goes to show how little fact you base your argument on. Instead, you choose to assume I am also fat and bald. Where you clearly are not, as the thumbnail avatar you have clearly shows you are a smoking hot blonde with large breasts. I mean, there's no question that you couldn't have grabbed that from some internet website and claimed as your own. And because of your picture you obviously possess the moral highground. Anyone deemed sexy in popular culture must be right.

No, you are a sad person, who lives in a sad, small world. I will no longer comment on this discussion after this because it is clear that you are the Queen on the Universe, and I am a lowly balding man in love with a washed-out, lame, fat artist. I would applaud you if only my bulge didn't prevent me from actually being capable of allowing my hands to come in contact with each other.

You are hysterical.
I really wish I could stop laughing at that comment.
First of all, I'm 5'1 and less than 115 lbs. I would LOVE to have a tub of Hagen Das because unlike you, I won't gain one fucking pound over it and judging by your profile picture (if that is indeed you), you are just another dumb bitch with insecurities who thinks they're the shit because they have long blonde hair and big tits. CONGRADULATIONS SKANKASAURUS.
And in case you haven't realized, because you do seem to be quite handicapped, pretty much everyone in this "COMMENTS" page disagrees with you.  Again, post your pointless comments where someone actually gives a shit.  Or better yet, go prostitute another corner for money slutbag. Fortunately enough, this will be my last reply, as you comments make me feel like less intelligent of a human being.

XOXOXOX

I applaud you Over Zenith. Hahaha you're much too correct.

I guess on th plus side we now know what Rich Priske is up to since departing. But seriously, those comments are either from someone who knew Good or is incredibly mentally ill. Not that those two things are mutually exclusive... Those comments are slanderous at best and should probably just be deleted. How embarrassing for this site.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

"someone who knew Good"?

hmm, a quick trip over to his blog or any of his message boards can fill you in on all that data pretty quick. 

Matt is the "mentally ill" one remember? the guy who likes to drink beer in the shower with his mom while popping pills? and you should brush up on your knowledge of "slander" fanboy.

how embarrassing are you..suggesting that Rich Priske might have the time or ability to type anything with regards to middle aged obesity or baldness..

You wanna be my friend at Facebook? I met Matthew Good backstage once.  He's the worst asshole I've ever been introduced to in my life.  Like acid on a sunburn --or salt in a wound. I can't believe people are still dumb enough to buy his music.  I just consider the money I wasted on him to be a donation to mental heath in Canada, if nothing else.  I hate that cunt with a passion. His ex-wife was smart to get out while she could.  I feel sorry for anyone that gets anywhere near him.  He's a psycho. By the way, I cut & pasted some of your juicier replies and put them in my online diary.  They're like Chicken Soup.  Thanks
