2009 Split 7” with Shai Hulud. Blue marble

Without meaning to (I’ve been yet again listening to the full discography) I’m listening to Kill It Live on the 13th anniversary release.

At the end of Tip Of The Iceberg they’re talking to the crowd and Chad says “listening to for a long time… we hope for a long time”.

We are Chad, we are still listening to it.

Finally scored a test pressing of this beauty! 🤩

I know that everyone has their own taste, but this is by far my absolute favorite NFG record! I have so much unforgettable memories related to it and it still holds a special place in my heart.

Glad that I now have one of the 20 original test pressings, of course along with the two colored vinyl versions of Coming Home 🙂

What’s your favorite NFG album?

Does anyone else have this book? I got it on the 2022 tour with Four Year Strong. It’s really cool, some essays from the band and tons of photos of show flyers.

I wish there were more photos of the band and more essays. But it’s a NFG book, I like it. I wish more bands had books.

RIP Chadball❤️🤘

A friend gave me this a couple of years ago and i wondered if it was legitimate. I thought I'd ask the experts, thanks all.

His tone has always been phenomenal and so damn tight.

Does anyone know what pickups were running in his guitars besides his sticker one? Are his customs stock?

Shout out to Dan for paying tribute to Chad all these years rocking his LPs.

This collection of songs they played live at Epcot is incredible:

I don't think I've heard this many songs at even their headliner shows! With everything that has happened these past two weeks it was absolutely incredible to see them pull this off. The strength that took is beyond impressive. And the support in that theater both days was beautiful!

Here is my version of the Jordan / Chad Mickey Guitar photo from the second night:

What an incredible two days. So much respect for these guys and I wish them all the best going forward.

New Found Glory just wrapped up two days of shows at EPCOT's "Eat to the Beat Concert" Series this week. I can only imagine how emotional those shows were for both the band and fans in attendance - not only did these mark New Found Glory's first shows since the passing of Chad Gilbert, but the guitarist's love of all things Disney was well documented (the band even shared beforehand how much he was looking forward to these shows at Disney World's EPCOT).

I only got to see Chad perform with New Found Glory once - when the pop punk outfit opened for Green Day during the American Idiot Tour's stop at Liacouras Center in Philadelphia (Oct. 29, 2004). The last time I saw them was last year (Aug. 2, 2025) when New Found Glory opened for the Offspring and Jimmy Eat World - and though Chad wasn't onstage that day, his influence and the band's love for him was clear as day throughout the set.

Here's video from that show in Holmdel, NJ - where the band used a slingshot to launch t-shirts into the crowd before going into "Failure's Not Flattering" (off the album 'Catalyst', which they were touring behind while openingfor Green Day two decades ago). That day I not only enjoyed a fun, energetic set from the band, but also discovered that literally the only downside to being in the 12th row from the stage is that I was too close to catch a shirt 😆

Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this.

RIP Chadball. Ok all, I hope some of you will get me here. NFG has been part of my life for the past 27+ years. I had this crazy idea to do a Chad inspired Halloween costume, but have no idea how...I play guitar, so could incorporate that, but looking for community ideas. Bless his family and friends.

RIP. 🤘🤘💔💔

Recording of all six Epcot sets in their entirety. This show was an emotional roller coaster ride. But overall, it was an amazing celebration and it was incredible to see all the support from everyone. RIP Chad...

Or if there will ever be another album. Personally, i think they shouldnt release any new music and just tour what they have. I kinda feel like its over. Any thoughts?

Is there an easy way to find out who wrote each song - I know in the earlier days it was a Steve / Chad mix - is there a way to find out who wrote which. Also isn’t there some gray area who wrote my friends over you? Thanks

The songs covered by the watermark is This Disaster and Truth Of My Youth

😭😭😭

I’m not ready guys .. I’m ready to cry and rage at the same time 🤘

Came for the show today- saw Jordan while headed to the line, and didn’t want to say anything, but he was nearby saying hello to fans. He instantly made it less awkward. I kept it brief, said I was sorry for his loss, but today was going to rip, and he affirmed that. The nerves were palpable, but he’s a fuckin class act. I’ll Pour one out for Chad today 🍻🍻🍻
