  • It’s been 30 years since Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik and bassist Robby Takac got together in their garage and formed the band. They say they did it to meet girls, but became so popular that they’ve been recording music since 1986, recently releasing their 11th studio album, “Boxes.”

    These guys don't have a bad song, one of my favorite bands of all time!

    They made more than 2 hits one year. They keep touring and creating new music! Those songs really grabbed my soul you never forget those ones.

    dont get why ppl are complaining - johnny is just doing his thing as a showman/musician - u say that they are singing songs from 90s and its bad - yea right, i can only imagine how dissapointed everybody would be if they went to ggd concert and they didnt sing iris - everybody would call them assholes then

      jealously will get you nowhere. if you can still sing that well at 50 i think its great (there is a few that cant do it and try) im 56 and cheering the lads success

      Believe me, have been to a GGD gig around 2007 and all they played was the soft rock and ballads, nothing at all from when they were a alternative rock band, good to see they now play some of their early - mid 90's stuff now.

    Life seems pretty easy, when it's from my easy chair! I came for The Replacements, and left an instant Goo Goo Dolls fanatic.

    I saw Goo Goo Dolls live three times. The worst time was on Queen Street East in Toronto, when they begged the audience to calm down. "Where is security?" The best time was on Yonge Street, north of Bloor, when they opened for The Replacements at The Opera House. Paul Westerburg and The Replacements were amazing. Goo Goo Dolls made me dance.

    Iris is probably my least favorite GooGoo's song... not only does it have a pretty boring melody line in the verse, then he goes ahead and REPEATS the same melody line in the chorus... so many great GooGoo songs and this one had to be the biggest hit... I'd be honored if some fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal cover of NAME on my channel in tribute to the masters. Real live acoustic with no karaoke tracks. Thanks and peace out.
