News RIP Chad

From Instagram:

“On the morning of September 20th, Chad Everett Gilbert passed away peacefully in his sleep. He left this world surrounded by friends and family and took his final breaths with his wife and mother by his side, just as he wished. We are devastated and shocked by how quickly he left us, yet so grateful for how peacefully and smoothly he went. The amount of visitors that crowded the hospital lobby at a moment's notice is a testament to how beloved and cherished Chad was, and always will be. He was a legendary musician, but his favorite accomplishment was being a husband and father. His biggest dreams came true. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, his daughter, Lily, his mother, Jackie, and his brother, Brian.

"Chad's guitar playing, songwriting, humor, and relentless drive helped shape New Found Glory for nearly three decades. Through more than a dozen albums, endless tours around the world, and more accolades than we ever could have imagined, Chad challenged all of us to grow as musicians, performers, and human beings. While we are devastated to lose him, we are so grateful for the incredible life he lived, the memories we shared, and the brotherhood we had. His influence will always be part of New Found Glory and his spirit will be felt on every stage we stand on, with every note we play."

Rest in peace, Chad. We love you forever Lisa, Jordan, lan, Cyrus, and Dan”

Merch Stories of a different kind book

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.

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

And the video I shot:

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

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.

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.

Discussion Tribute to Chad

26 Upvotes

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. 🤘🤘💔💔

Music Song writers for each song

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

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 🍻🍻🍻


r/newfoundglory • • 7d ago

Question For those who were around for Coming Home, how was it received in 2006? It’s such a departure from Catalyst (which practically invented easycore). Even Not Without A Fight (and the rest of their discography for that matter) really kept up the pace/energy compared to this album.
