I was so eager to get these videos onto Youtube that I saved Dan the trouble and uploaded the videos myself. My channel has almost 5500 subscribers, so people who may not be familiar with this fansite will discover this lost footage too.

Are you sure that Apparitions performance is from the 98 MMVAs? Because Rich is performing with the band, and I thought he didn't join the band till 99. Also, there's footage from the 98 MMVAs from the Much More Music bio which shows Geoff still with the band.

Can you give any details on what that was about?

Big move by Matt. I'm thinking that he did this because he has problems with certain comments on his social media pages. If that is the reason, I think this action is completely unnecessary. If he doesn't want to see or he doesn't want people close to him to see certain comments, he can disable commenting on those SM pages. Getting rid of those SM pages completely does a great disservice to himself and his fans. It's a disservice to himself because by having no SM accounts, it makes it harder for himself to promote his music, merchandise and concerts, which means potentially less money for him. And it's a disservice to his fans because we can't read his intelligent and thoughtful comments and writings that we love so much. He doesn't have to post them if he doesn't want to, but that's no reason to get rid of those SM pages. Plus, Matt is making it harder for his fans to connect with him beyond the music. He's distancing himself from his fans, and that's not a smart move when his whole career is based on him having fans and people buying his music, merchandise and concert tickets. I know he got into this business to make music and not to be a celebrity, but sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it too. If he wants to continue to make a decent living making music, he needs to embrace things that he may not like. If he doesn't want to do that, he can try to make a living doing something else, and we all strongly hope he doesn't do that. Does anyone else wanna comment on this?

Mod edit: Full concert listings are available at https://www.nearfantastica.com/concerts/ SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Matt is playing at The Moose and Goose in Thorold, Ontario on June 28th. What's strange is that they haven't announced the show on Matt's website or social media yet. I found out about the show through a friend.

Thanks for the tip! I live near where the festival's gonna be so I'm definitely going to that show. They were going to announce the whole lineup on the 25th but it's fun to know before others. I wonder if I had something to do with Matt's booking at that festival. The festival tweeted asking what bands we wanted to see at the festival, and I tweeted back a list of bands that included Matt.

Hey, just saw this comment. I don't post these things as if I found them from somewhere other than your site. All I'm saying is that I found them. I guess I should give more credit as to where I got these things. If I haven't said it yet, thank you very much for your site. As an MG superfan, I really appreciate all the great stuff you've made accessible through your site. And by the way, I did mention your site as the source of the MGB MMM Bio I uploaded to Youtube in the comment section of the YT video.

For anyone who has never listened to this great interview or wants to listen to it again, here it is.

He actually responded to people in the audience requesting songs? In my experience of attending Matt's shows he's just ignored them. Nice to see him explain why he doesn't play Indestructible. That explanation makes sense, but I think he doesn't want to play it for the same reason he doesn't wanna play Rico, because he thinks it's a bad song.

Was Turner animus to Matt? He didn't seem to be animus when he addressed Matt's comments about OLP on Much. OLP was asked about Matt's comments and Turner seemed to not take Matt's comments seriously and made fun of the situation. I don't know if he's said anything other than that though.

Was at the Hamilton show last night. I was hoping that I was going to see Indestructible. I know Matt hates that song and hasn't played it in 10 years, but when I asked Matt during Raine and his Twitter AMA in January if he'd ever play it again, Raine responded saying "I'll do Indestructible if Matt won't". I was excited by that because I actually thought he was being serious, but I guess he wasn't. I was also hoping that Matt would play Tripoli (which I've never seen him play live) because I recall him mentioning that song as one of the songs he'd play on this tour, but he didn't play that song either. He even dedicated a song from Audio of Being to OLP drummer Jason Pierce because "he likes that album so much", but he played Advertising on Police Cars. Still enjoyed the show though.

Exactly. Also found Matt's OHNM interview with Alan Cross there. What a great site that is for a Matt Good superfan. And thanks for showing the link to that audio clip.

Also, what I was really surprised to see was that MGB covered the song "Uncle Fucka" from the South Park movie. I would love to see a clip of that.

In addition to finding that MGB Much More Music Bio, I also found a bunch of MGB setlists from 1998 to 2001. I added them all to setlist.fm, so if there's an MGB show you attended and you wanna see if the setlist for that show is on there, check em out. It's also interesting to just see which songs they frequently played, seldom played and never played. They apparently never played Middle Class Gangsters, The Inescapable Us, and Going All The Way.

I found the MGB MuchMore Music Bio from 2001 and uploaded it to Youtube. The whole Bio hasn't been available on Youtube since like 2009. For those of you who want to watch it, here it is: I needed to edit the video a bit to avoid showing too much MGB music video footage (especially from the Apparitions video). The Bio includes Matt and members of Our Lady Peace talking about Matt's comments about OLP, which is really interesting to watch considering the band is now doing a whole tour together.

I doubt that OLP and Matt will rotate who goes on first and who closes. I'm betting that OLP will close all shows. No offense to Matt, but OLP is the bigger band.

By biggest regret as an MG fan is being born in 1993 and therefore not being able to see Matthew Good Band live.

20 years ago today, Matthew Good Band released Underdogs, which still today is one of my favourite albums, not just from Matt, but from any artist. The album went on to sell over 200,000 copies (however, it still hasn't received a Double Platinum certification yet). To celebrate the album, I thought I'd ask all the fans on The Bored what they think about the album. What are your favourite songs from the album? Also, in the chance that Matt reads this, I'd like to ask him what he thinks of this album 20 years later and if he'd ever be willing to play more songs from this album live. I was too young to see MGB perform songs from this album in the 90s so I'd love to hear some songs from this album live. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7epfunGutqnx8y-_8NbOn2sothYCJDvh

I'm curious as to how much airplay Matt's new singles in recent years have received. Where I live, there's 3 radio stations that would possibly play Matt's songs; CFNY-FM and CIND-FM in Toronto, and CJXY-FM in Hamilton. The last new single of Matt's that received consistent airplay on CFNY was Zero Orchestra. I never once heard CFNY play Had It Coming or All You Sons and Daughters. Sad to see that such a popular station as CFNY has ignored the new music of one of Canada's great alternative rock artists. I heard Had It Coming twice on CJXY when it was released, and one of those times was because I called and requested it. CIND seems like Matt's best shot for his new singles to get radio airplay in the area where I live. I remember they consistently played Had It Coming and Arrows of Desire when they were first released. So now Matt has released two new songs, Bad Guys Win and Decades. In my opinion, both of these songs are radio friendly and I believe these station's listeners would enjoy them. However, I have yet to hear these songs played on any of the stations I mentioned. Can anyone tell me if these songs are getting airplay on the radio stations in their local areas? Did Had It Coming and All You Sons and Daughters receive airplay? I'm very curious and I'd appreciate any information anyone would be willing to share on this topic.

Why does everyone here dislike No Liars? It's probably my favourite track from Chaotic Neutral, but that's because I'm a sucker for catchy songs (I also love Rico and Anti-Pop). Also, if you go on Spotify you'll see that No Liars is the second most popular song from the album, only behind All You Sons and Daughters, so many of the album's listeners on Spotify share my likening to the song. So what's so bad about No Liars?
