Question: "Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money...etc...: Isn't that all a bit sexist? - 'Vicious Sidney', Croydon."

Paul Thomas (bass): I don't think so, it's more about superficiality than it is about being sexist. It's about girls who act a certain way and boys who act a certain way.

Billy Martin (guitar): I think it's a funny song about funny people. It is what it is.

Benji Madden (guitar): I would say it absolutely is - how are we gonna piss anbody off if we're not sexist?

Joel Madden (vocals): I'd say, if you were grouping yourself in with the girls we're singing about and it's offending you, then that's a good thing.

Chris Wilson (drums): How the hell is it sexist, if it's referring to both sexes? Unless we have a hermaphrodite that's upset, then it doesn't make sense."

Question: "Benji once said that Good Charlotte don't have any boundaries: if that's so, why does the band stick to doing generic mall-punk? - Michael Curran, Tranmere."

Paul: Shut the f**k up! Generic mall-punk is in our blood

 and it's the only thing we know how to produce!

Billy: I don't really think of myself as looking punk, but I love the mall. So, y'know...

Benji: We are generic mall-punks. That's it.

Joel: We make generic mall-punk music to start up such topics of conversation with idiots like the person who asked that.

Chris: Take this dick and treat it like a toothpick.

Question: "You were threatening to have a scrap with that Scouse indie band The Coral because they called you a boy band with spikes: which part of that comment rang false for you? - Davina Warnock, Teignmouth."

Billy: I've never heard of The Coral.

Paul: I love scuba-diving, that's all I know about coral."

Question: "Why won't you let your drummer be a proper part of the band? Is he just along for the cash? - Tony Turpentine, South London."

Paul: I think he's just along for the cash. But, he's one of us now.

Billy: Chris is a part of the band, and that's why he's here doing this with us right now.

Joel: I would answer that by saying, have you read any of our more recent interviews, dipshit?

Chris: I'm here for the bling-bling. The millions and millions of pounds! No, of course I'm not.

Question: "Benji has the silliest haircut in rock: discuss - The Cornflake Girl, Ilford."

Benji: I am the silliest guy in rock. What can I say? I'm silly.

Joel: Who uses the word 'silly'? That's my answer.

Chris: A lot of people have weird hair, does it really matter?

Billy: I think Benji has the coolest hair in rock.

Question: "Joel has helped out Simple Plan and Benji has worked with Mest: are you guys on a mission to flood the world with the shittiest punk rock bands around? - Joe Strummer's Revolving Coffin, Westway."

Benji: We absolutely are.

Joel: They're absolutely right, whoever asked this. Completely right.

Paul: Yeah, they definitely have a future in A&R.

Billy: I personally just bought the Mest record and I think it's absolutely amazing.

Question: "Do you guys have to mention your Made clothing line in every interview? That makes you look like businessmen rather than musicians - Sean Gerrard, Waterford."

Paul: I don't have a clothing company.

Joel: Yeah, what's he talking about? I don't even know what Made clothing is.

Question: "Do you think that you could have picked a more wussy band name? - The Pieman, Coventry."

Benji: Hey, our band name is better than our first album cover.

Joel: I don't think we could have picked a wussier name. I think he's absolutely right. What were we thinking? I'm a Kerrang! reader myself, so I know where they're coming from.

Paul: Who asked? The 'Pie Man'?

Billy: Could that be a more wussy band name?

Chris: We're changing our name to the Eye-Socket Gougers.

Question: "You and your fans are always moaning about Joel and Benji getting all the attention: but they presented a show on MTC together, so what do you expect? - Emie Saunders, Kilmarnock."

Paul: He's right! You guys are f**ked-up!

Billy: Yeah, you guys are mean to us!

Question: "You make a big deal of being a 'real punk band' on the liner notes of your album. But you have absolutely nothing important to say - which makes you a pop band. Discuss - Paul Strannery, Downpatrick."

Paul: Cool.

Billy: If you don't think the lyrics are important, then I'd rather you not listen to our CD.

Benji: Well said, Billy, well said. I'd like to further that by saying, by even listening to your question, we're all a little stupider.

Question: "Everyone tells me there are identical twins in the band: which two are they then? - Gillian Holmes, Leicester."

Paul: Benji and Joel.

Billy: Really, Paul? I thought it was you and Chris this whole time. Holy shit.

Benji: You mean, it's not Billy and Paul?

Joel: I think it's Benji and Chris.

Chris: It's actually triplets, it's me Joel and Benji.
