GOO GOO DOLLS Talks The Feeling of Being On Stage, Their Greatest Hit and Nowadays life

[@georgegriffith7263]

Robbie is just as important as Jonny and Johnny knew it !

[@jgillettejukebox]

I used to talk to those guys all the time back n the day at my sales job in LA. They would come in all the time. Super cool every time. They deserve their success. The odds were against them.

[@daynak3904]

That's rad

[@shannonomalley9584]

I go under one of their music videos and SO many people are always criticizing them for changing, then I see videos like this where they continue to defend themselves and also just...not give a shit. I appreciate and respect that so much. Even if my personal opinion towards each of their releases varies, I love these guys. Keep going

[@robvoyles]

@sage And you are so much better?....

[@thedappercook]

@sage LOL, I guess you have already lost then. Sit down brother. Sit down.

[@thedappercook]

@sage Hahahaahahaha, I guess you voted Trump or Kanye too. Youre too far gone to be saved brother. I wish you nothing but happiness, shake that bittnerness and envy and put some of your own original tunes up on your channel. Sit back down!

[@thedappercook]

@sage you've gone awfully quiet. Lesson learned I take it. Don't be a fuck wit in a public space. Especially on a subject you know nothing about nor have had any success in the field of. If you make comments in a public space like this expect to be fucked by others in response. When you post your first song and make your first million dollars then you can write the BS you first commented otherwise sit back down and stay in bed. Lesson learned let's move on brother, have a good weekend!

Johnny is so insightful. Full of wisdom and depth. That translates to his writings.

[@dinocracchiolo1006]

It is extremely rare to have , loyalty, humility, honesty , humor, ability to write , and sing,songs with such meaning and depth that will always transcend time, Love you!

[@byromtaylor6482]

Iris is the song that reminds me of me - one of the greatest songs ever made the performance in Buffalo in the rain was probably the best rock performance of all time

[@justinpaskell7262]

Iris is my all time favourite song. Amazing feeling everytime I hear it.

[@jasonpettit9984]

this is why I love this band, because they care about us

[@karasgarlata7775]

Robbie songs are really good. Underrated. I wish he would have had a single.

[@justanotherperson584]

All balls and no brain..... men. These guys have a great friendship. They kept it real. No pressure guys, you will receive and it will just flow out.

[@davva360]

Saw the Goo Goo Dolls in Jacksonville FL a couple of months ago. They were awesome. Would highly recommend going to see them if you get a chance.

[@trashpanda9615]

It’s funny because most people don’t remember the U2 song on that soundtrack or movie but they’ll say Iris is the first song they remember

[@catzska]

Whatever music you put out I am happy to listen to and excited about. I have been a fan since way back. And to all the haters. I do not believe John has had plastic surgery it's called maturing and getting older. I think Robby and John look great.

[@bls5160]

I agree! That's why I deleted any rude comment about that - so for anyone not seeing rude comment, it was me!

[@longsnapper5381]

I take a lot of heat from my band members for liking this band but I do. Johnny passed on ditching Robbie early on and they have soared and crashed TOGETHER. That's what a band should be.Here they are doing an interview and this chick couldn't care less what Robbie has to say but Johnny has him there. You want me? Robbie comes too. No exceptions. That's some cool shit.

[@robvoyles]

thats the way it should be between brothers in life and music even if you are not brothers from the same mother.

[@blueberrymarf]

It’s lovely

[@bugzyc1093]

I saw these guys when i was 17 or 16 now im 36 i have every album i did take something away from the concert im totally in love with them. Johns voice

[@britainjasmine5811]

I really find him to be an exquisite creature.

[@John231984]

I always had a lot of respect for them. Album was after Gutterflower it did start to get a little to soft for me. But that doesnt' change all the other albums. When Miracle pill came out, they were doing a singing in the town over, where you got take a photo with them. For 20 bucks, we all got a couple of songs, the album, them singing it and to shake their hand. It was pretty neat.

[@matthewnielsen4891]

Robbie's speaking voice is the same as his singing voice.

[@Robyn-by6qt]

You reckon!? He employs a hybrid english/irish/slight Scottish lilt when he sings as opposed to his speaking voice...in my opinion.

[@shizzle7642]

These gentlemen always rise above these interviewers who ask pathetic questions and don’t know squat about band, their music or care what their saying!! Seen same questions asked thousand time over the years, nothing fun or enjoyable about it for them. Go Goo’s!!💜💜

[@wendyhope6410]

Love these guys! Their music is amazing! They have the best interviews!

[@RA-hs6ry]

i adored him after what he said at the end...im not gonna quote it but i was eager for him to say that sentence specifically and when he did i was like yeah man

[@stephaniemcbroom9615]

I love them have from the start I will support and listen to them as long as I live...love love love. One of the best.

[@dantedescalzi2076]

What an honest interview. They both are genuine in their answers combined with a bit of wit and comedy. I have been a fan for a long time and they continue to connect with me. Thank you for your art and music. If I can offer some advice to just wish the interviewer also asked questions to Robby and extended the mic more fully when Robby is trying to chime in while answering a question.

[@daynak3904]

Enlightening interview, looks so sad for a second about missing beer. That's like missing your best friend or fav guitar. Great questions & funny yet serious answers 💜🏝️

[@duffbaker9554]

@6:15 I totally identify what he's saying there. I know some guys who are in their 50's and 60's are still playing their 'punk' music in their 'punk' bands with the same posture in basically the same dives and never really progressed beyond that. Never tried anything new or different and it's just so boring (and sad, really). But in their minds they're still 'punk' which is all that matters to them.

[@jimmymarino8870]

Come back to England Johnny, I missed your concert cause I was in the hospital. I met you at rock city Nottingham Feb 2021 Jimmy from Maryland

[@bls5160]

Can't wait to see you guys next weekend at Merriweather. Have seen you twice before and you always put on an amazing show! Love love you Johnny!

Watched them at Shepherd’s Bush Empire (2004?). Was absolutely epic. My then gf didn’t know who they were, but when she heard the tunes she said “oh, it’s these guys, I love these songs”. A great night, so glad I saw them live, along with pearl jam that was my bucket list for live gigs 👍🏻😇

[@dcaudio1]

Goo Goo dolls always seems to be having fun when they perform...i will say that Mike on drums made the entire band feel better...more energy. The guy that plays now plays well enough but you just don’t get a sense of enjoyment from him...he seems to be just doing his job and off to the next one. Mike Manlinin always played with enjoyment.

Funnily enough I actually saw the goo goo dolls in concert in Summer 2003. They were actually headlining with Lisa Marie Presley at the Iowa State Fair. It’s one of my most precious memories especially now. They both kicked ass! And they had margaritas the size of the heads after the show, lol. Mom and I were standing our dumb asses in the alley and by chance the tour bus was right there. I’m sure Lisa saw our ugly mugs waving in the windows like morons, lol.♥️

good interview. I appreciate bands taking chances with music styles, or not worrying about styles. Too many bands are scared of losing their original fans and will not stray from the formula. Not a fan of nostalgia acts.

Well. He probably looks better with all that plastic shit in his face than he would without. Age is a bitch. I mean, he still looks like shit, just in a different way. There's no way to fix age. Once you hit late 40's/50's, you're shot.

True. He’d look good with natural older look. He looks fine but yeah his face looks made. Maybe he needed to fix some flaws ? Oh well. He’s happy and successful. And he’s bringing joy.So good for him.

[@jeremyn6825]

The man did drugs back in the day and that's bound to catch up to you. As successful band and doing live shows you have to maintain a certain look to continue to get those shows. Don't blame him, blame the music industry for forcing these kids to keep a certain look. It's pathetic but what do you do? Move on bro and just enjoy the music they put out. Bet they'd be the shit to just chill with and bs.

He has vitiligo, a disease that affects skin tone. He maybe had something done years ago; but he smoked/drank/rocked out. Also, the face of alcoholics changes quite a bit over the years. I am so happy he was able to heal from that disease.

Leave the face alone , men that age naturally look soooo much better without man scaping , stupid plucked eyebrows, facelifts injectables, fillers , botox, lips augmented, silly preened hair styles n covering grey hair !
