I’d say they always had a unique sound and I liked a lot of the garage punk also. He wound up the strings randomly on Name and Iris and all the other hits to give them that beautiful open ringing, but if you listened to We Are the Normal off Superstar Car Wash in ‘93…I mean bands don’t make that kind of song
When I moved to the United States in 1999 I was a 13 year old teen. I would listen to the radio or watch MTV, and loved the Goo Goo Dolls. I wanted to know what they lyrics said, and I can attribute these lyrics to one of the reasons I was driven to learn English. I can look back at those times, with me and my notebook and dictionary, sitting in my room. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls.
Kids now days will never really understand what really good music is. The 90’s was where it was at. Rap was real gangsters trying to get outta the hood, rockers were singing about something that touched your soul, country was something anyone could listen to and relate and pop made you and your friends sing along but pretend you never heard the song. Good times
@@glhmedic But times are different now. In the 90s - anything could be mainstream and out there. Now only pop can be mainstream. A band like Goo Goo Dolls would never be big today because the shift.
@@glhmedicyou could say this. Just take a moment to think about 2000’s music has really fallen off in the 2000’s. The 90’s was the last good decade for music all around. When country and pop are fighting for #1 spot in the 90’s it was crazy that does not happen today. Michael Jackson, U2 and Garth brooks were going back and forth to get the top billboard spot. Then so many good bands and music out then. What has 2000’s brought us? Not much. 80’a had some Fun stuff too but maybe not like the 90’s. 70’s alright too. So 70’s-90’s best music we have ever had
I remember the first time I heard this song on local radio and I had a realization that they would become HUGE and boy did they ever. One of the finest rocks bands ever!!!
Yep they were literally what I call "bro punk" with dumb songs and unsuccessful albums. Its worth checking out to anyone because it's shocking how different they used to be. The bassist did the singing (shouting?) and Rzeznik was an 80s style guitarist. Then idk what happened to them, but they became excellent songwriters and Rzeznik turned out to be an extraordinary singer. This band's history is the strongest example that any band can turn out to be great, regardless of their start
I remember when this song first hit the radio, I'm still listening to it and playing this on my guitar to this day, great tune. Long live 90's music ✌️💙🎄⛄
They were supposed to play in alfred NY that night and we got bumped by one day....this is the first I've seen of that performance....other than the original airing, they flew back east the next day and played the SHIT out of Alfred University. Johnny came out wearing an OJ Simpson jersey that he wound up throwing in the crowd right to me. I have the jersey framed on my wall and the memory of both the tonight show, then the fucking AMAZING show they put on for us as thanks for the wait!!!!
Proud to born in 80 and had a chance to live until now and miss the 90 era ,where music is all about our peacefully life and the world at that era we'll miss all the great people on that era that has passed by, hope this world will be a better place and we'll live in peace and harmony
I first heard the Goo Goo Dolls when their album Let Love In came out in 2006. I was in 5th grade and had just returned from our family vacation in Mexico. I remember hearing this and feeling nostalgic. I was crushing on my first crush also at the time. 16 years later at 26, I saw them for the first time with my friends at the Greek Theatre. I love their songs. It brings me back to my childhood
Johnny always struggled with getting his guitar loud enough on a live set. Definitely not his fault tho it's just weird how it kept happening through the years.
Love it! My brothers from Buffalo. I never saw this. I remember the first time I heard Name in King Sooper, I started crying. They worked so so so hard to get there! Caught them in a club in Denver in 95, in 96 it was RED FUCKING ROCKS....we were able to see them each time, my ex had worked w them. I am so proud of what they have done. So proud....Check out the Superstar Carwash album live video at New World Records in Buffalo, my favorite Goos, maybe better than July 4th show which is epic. I also love the Goos in Alaska, so lovely.
If you've listened to the different recordings of this song on YT, this one sounds really different. Not their best. You can tell they felt rushed or nervous on Late Shows like Leno and Lettermen. The Sound FX recording from '95 is stripped down, bare bones and sounds the best IMO.
It's always crazy to me how these bands just seem to fall into obscurity and irrelevancy even when they haven't broken up. I know trends come and go, but, damn, have they even put out an album in the last 20 years that was even close to this stuff they were putting out at their peak?
Google is free, you can look up their discography, they've put out multiple albums and have toured consistently for the past 22 years. They did not fade into obscurity at all.
@@AK-jw7rx When was the last time they had a hit single on the radio then? When was the last time they played at an awards show? When was the last time they won an award?

As soon as any Goo Goo Dolls song comes on, I’m instantly transported back to 1996, and then I remember it’s 2022 and I shed a tear.
u got it right
Part of that is just growing up. I get he other part.
I will shed tears too is im 26 years older.
Is that why 😢😢😢😢😢…… oh that rift just tugs at my soul
One of the greatest songs ever. A lyrical masterpiece.
Very underrated 90's band. Fantastic voice, great songwriting and a refreshing sound in the contrast of the grunge era.
You should check out their earlier stuff. They were total garage punk. But of course this is the sound that made them hit big
@@danielschnapp6737True but they also grew up and it shows. Name was one of their most personal songs

They have been releasing music and touring regularly for the past 20 + years. They're not just a 90s band
@@AK-jw7rx They experienced their greatest commercial success in the 90’s and definitely have the 90’s sound.

thats epic
That was a good inspiration
How has this been 25 years? Be that as it may, this song has aged incredibly well.

One of the most underrated bands. Fantastic lyrics, fantastic sound.
I want to go back. I want to fix all the mistakes I've made as a kid. I miss the 90s.
The mistakes you made in the past are the lessons you learned for today. Every day is an opportunity to be better than yesterday

Love the goo goo dolls! God I wish it was 1996 again!
Damn. Same. I was ten years old and finishing off my final year of elementary school. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat ;v;
I had hair long like his in 1996.
Radio may be tired of late but this song will never be.
Johnny's voice sounds just like studio live. I enjoy how much fun the bassist was having
Robby Takac. He's always like that !
This is my all time favourite song. The live version just goes to prove why you should see a band live not just listen to their radio versions.
Johnny's rocking the hair again in 2021. Unbelievable
A many guitar strings were broken trying to learn this song
It's wild to watch them knowing they went from punk rockers to the kings of 90's power ballads
They still have that punk rock energy

Music was real back then
I was 2 years old when they performed this. I feel like I was there 😂
What a great guitar progression and the most rudimentary bass line of all time
96 was my first year out the service, drove cross country to this song and many other classics from the time! Great memories!
Cool. His voice is flawless live.
Such a great video, thanks for posting. Jay always had them on the show. Jimmy Fallon sucks for never having them on 👎
Miss Jay on the Tonight Show
I remember when this song first hit the radio, I'm still listening to it and playing this on my guitar to this day, great tune. Long live 90's music ✌️💙🎄⛄

Carson....I guess I'm dating myself......Friggin' Leno!
A band who understands dynamics well
Best version 😊
Kids nowdays need ecstasy to feel their music
johns hair, his voice. love them but especially this performance 🤍
I had that same hair in the 90s. Now I have very long dreadlocks.
A very special era that I was blessed to be a part of
Proud to born in 80 and had a chance to live until now and miss the 90 era ,where music is all about our peacefully life and the world at that era we'll miss all the great people on that era that has passed by, hope this world will be a better place and we'll live in peace and harmony

This song is so meaningful, I wont tell your name 👍🏼
The mighty 90's
JUST WOW
Guitars are way too low in the mix, lol... great performance nonetheless. Love this song.
Johnny always struggled with getting his guitar loud enough on a live set. Definitely not his fault tho it's just weird how it kept happening through the years.
BAM! That's how it's done folks!
Still Awesome
Now we’re grown up orphans that never knew their names! We don’t belong to no one that’s a shame. And I won’t tell no one you’re name.
Pam & Tommy
Awesome and Goo-reat quality 🎼🎸🤎
So good

90's per sempre ⭐!
Can it be 1996 again. Please.
This is really a good song
i love you
the strand of hair though

nice
They need the sound guy to fix his guitar so you can hear it!
I have a guitar tuned just to play this song ❤️
Well, at least we know now Trevor Lawrence has good taste in music.
Mean People Suck.
That sticker was everywhere in the 90s it's iconic
Always loved this band, but is it just me or does John like Cilian Murphy from Peaky Blinders?
Weird Leno said the name of the album wrong.
Trevor Lawrence
How about 15 years ago 🤔
Thanks for uploading this! Can you please upload Madeline Kahn's appereance? Release date: August 24, 1993 - Episode 287. Thanks!!!
I dont think I have that one recoreded, but if I have and find it I will do. I still got more than 400 vhs-tapes to go through...
@@RollingRockvideos Thanks!
Do you have their performance of Iris on Jay leno?
Just Name and Long Way Down from Jay Leno this far.
Leave it to Jay to not know the album name... no pun intended
He said the album name, a Boy Named Goo
@AK-jw7rx he said "A boy called goo"

Who’s the other dude on guitar?
Bass tone is pretty horrible. Probably not his fault. He comes in late at 1:22. Definitely his fault.
I hear that yeah.
The song that signalled the decline into easy listening - great song though! Their career never recovered once ballads waved $$$$ in front of them
I do not like this band. But this song reminds me of being 7 years old. Nostalgia is a weird thing.
i like goo goo dolls. but this translation from the album was lame
Only a hack like Leno could screw up the name of an album that is an obvious pun
Oh now I hear it. He's dyslexic btw (Jay). Or maybe they wrote it wrong in the cue cards
Okay sure-that makes him a hack
