Fan goes up on stage to play Name with The Goo Goo Dolls (O2 Brixton Academy London)

[@michaelhofer9149]

This is why I’m still a big Dolls fan! John Rzeznik is just that fucking cool!

[@LadyPlatinumiiys]

Yeah you did awesome !

[@bradcrawford1998]

I agree 1 MILLLION percent. Johhny is a BAD ASS CHILL COOL DUDE. INCREDIBLE musical ability, voice is so BEAUTIFUL, writing skills off the charts. Goo Goo Dolls should be the the R&R HOF in my fuckin opinion 😤

[@dcchicken75]

Dude, that was fucking AWESOME!!! That was your "8 Mile Lose Yourself Moment" and you nailed it!!!!! Memory for your whole life!!!!! Good job for having the BALLS to ask and also the skills to play it!!

[@jasonnoyesjn]

More like his Rockstar moment (Mark Wahlberg)

[@jetz328]

This made my soul smile. Great job!

[@lilitheavenly6862]

same 🥺🥺🥺

[@lisamarascio5773]

Well done my NY friends. I'll never forget this one!

[@MathildeRue]

All stars on that stage

[@angelahood5176]

Full body chills

[@Chris-um5ls]

Generous of John to give you this once in a lifetime moment. Good job keeping it real, Jake.

[@user-vv7og1gt7t]

This was an incredible concert and the guy who performed did a great job, so nice of Johnny to let him play

[@SavedInANanosecond.]

My son's name is Jake and that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

your son IS Jake,, or your son is ALSO named Jake??

[@Mrssavagegeese]

I love when bands share their stage and make someone’s LIFE! Great job Jake!

[@PASSIVEPIPE]

Wow, you can see how nervous he was until Johnny started singing with him and putting the mic close enough so he could sing into it. That’s when he really started letting loose and enjoying the moment! So glad Jake was able to perform, would’ve done a much better job than I!

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

What an incredible memory for this guy. Lifetime memory. He did great obviously. I think a lot of people are missing how incredibly generous it was for John Rzreznik and the rest of the band to give him the spotlight. A strange fan in the stands. Just an incredible moment all around. This is why music exists.

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

strange, as in unorthodox, DEF not as in weird-- cause MOST decent musicians would absolutely LOVE to do this.. ** john happens to be a super grateful musician and has does this at least twice that I've seen! hopefully he does it for more cause im hoping he does it when i see them next time!!!!! heck,, im learning the song exactly for the possibility ow!

[@drugstocowboy]

this is why i love goo goo dolls. they don't let fame get to their head and they are always grounded.

[@karenbogle]

This is fucking amazing moments like these should be forever be treasured.

[@tspfl9073]

12 out of 10. So cool of the band to hang it out there & not just do the normal thing but instead interact with the audience. Great energy.

[@allaccessshogun]

He definitely told everyone your name . A name that people will never forget after that night ! You go JAKE !

[@oceans_of_color]

I don't think I could play guitar in front of Johnny, his antics are too much 😂 What a joyful video!

[@lymtyler7087]

Now old fans become more fans yet. What a light and nice vibe.

[@evansinclair1999]

This is single handedly one of the best things I’ve seen I’ve dreamed of playing that with them amazing guts you had there man

[@botanipath]

John was so delightful in letting you play - it made the concert so earthy and even more fun!

[@lensquires8466]

Jake, That was Awesome! You blew Johnny's mind - He was really worried about having the song messed up, but you blew him and the audience and all of us who watch you away! Thank you for the work you put into learning that song and really pushing to get on stage to do it! Teared me up watching you!🙂 🙏 ❤

[@jasonl3686]

That’s awesome! This is what keeps bands relevant over time, simply staying connected with fans new and old alike.

[@CCR-ew6ke]

That was awesome, it's one thing to play for Johnny to sing and it being only one instrument. But with the whole band and to have timing right, for the first time playing WITH the band. Truly a once in a life time moment.

[@anthonylove821]

Jake, that was one of the coolest moments to see a fan ask to come on stage to play one of goo goo dolls most popular songs and nail it. Just to see the audience cheering for you gave me chills down my spine. It’s not everyday someone can get up on stage like that. Treasure it forever. Even though it’s from a while ago I was still cheering u on. Keep rocking man!!!!

[@bradcrawford1998]

Damn Jake was good at this shit. Johnny Reznick is so FUCKIN Cool. I love this video, what a moment. I've NEVER seen a band let a fan come up and play the lead guitar on a song of this magnitude. BEAUTIFUL moment. Way to go Jake. Love the GGD's. So AWESOME 🙂

[@codacreator6162]

Dave Grohl has a thing for audience participation, too. Pretty incredible.

[@kustomhooligans]

Green day has been letting fans play Billie's guitar since I saw them in 1997, they still do almost every show to this day

[@surfingawaveoflife]

Bly Joel did too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqW9n6OkpK16nbs

[@dennyluster3089]

What an opportunity of a lifetime! I have never seen this happen at a concert before. You did an outstanding job, Jake! Kudos to you for being brave enough to do this!

[@empoweredbygod]

I have watched this video now a few times and i just love it sooooo sooooo much!!! Outstanding Jake!! You really held your own... impressive!! God Bless Always!!

[@reginaj3116]

Jake, I completely believe it was the best day of your life, and you lived up to it! I'm just grinning ear to ear. Good job man.

[@AgeofReason]

Seeing all the guys back him up in the corner was really beautiful to see, they were cheering him on. They gave it all up to him. They trusted him and he carried his weight. What an awesome moment. Let's carry our weights for everyone!

[@derekcollins2343]

I was there with my daughter and this video is part of the special moment we shared for her birthday, you nailed by the way.

[@collegesports-usa]

Smiles.... so many Smiles!!! Smiling Is Good For The Soul... Thank you Jake... For The Smiles!!

[@rcampbell4967]

I grinned ear to ear watching that. Great job! I couldn't imagine what a blast that must have been!

[@allaccessshogun]

What a honor . One off the dream bucketlist

[@poetsdreamsatc]

It’s 2022...I’m not sure how this video was on my recommendation list but I’M SO GLAD IT WAS! Jake you were amazing! I love this video so much and is now on my favorite play list. Well done dude. Well done. 👏😘

[@frankiechan9651]

That has got to be the dream (and maybe the nightmare) of many guitar player around - get on stage with your idol and play with them. Having had a look at Iris - I know John loves very non-standard tunings and most people modify the songs to play in something approaching standard. When he voiced concern that you might not be able to play his guitar - then you played a few chords and you could see his face change to awe. YOU NAILED IT. I had the most massive grin on my face through this whole video - my cheeks actually hurt.

[@lylesylliboy598]

-NOTE-Jake and Dan are 2 different people. Both phenomenonal guitarists

[@charleshilding3595]

they must be twins

[@KathyW2200]

WOW! You did great, Jake! Good for you for going for it, and good for them for being so cool about it. 👏

[@Runninlejit]

Legendary brother. what a memory. pumped for you still.

[@deutsche_lyrik]

One memory you'll never forget and will tell your children 🙃 Awesome👌🏻🙏🏻

[@likab52bmr]

That was amazing. Buffalo's own goo goo dolls have always been a class act.

[@brianscott9969]

In a jacked up world music has a way of feeding our souls and making our ❤ smile!!! Kick @ss job Jake!!! Very cool of JR & the band to give it a go🎸

[@swccbakersfieldca2076]

He should have given you the guitar on stage. You killed it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@sarawydock4470]

[@thomasvega8247]

[@jessicalara75]

I couldn't love this more. John was in the moment and you are one talented and lucky dude.

[@bodhithebodhisattva4106]

I worked so hard to learn that tuning and how to play that song hoping for a moment just like that! So fucking awesome you got that moment. Well done brother!!

[@JoeSmith-ug9hu]

What an awesome experience to have had.. I couldn't even imagine how awesome this would be.

[@k8teep]

[@mr.jazzbodkelsey58]

You shot that!! Congrats on a great memory, from California! 💣💥🎶

[@infowazz]

GGD started off as a punk band in Buffalo, NY. Not a big fan base. I remember seeing their name spray painted under a bridge. Years later they had a hit song. Then another.......and another. It wasn't punk music but it was good. Great success story!!!

[@kimberlyfrankel79]

Jake, you did such a good job playing Name! Congratulations dude U ROCK!!!

[@keithurbane1817]

That's amazing!! Go Jake! And thank you, GGD, for giving Jake a shot.

[@markkoop6593]

Awesome Jake! Great playing (and singing)! I agree with other comments that John. He seemed a bit nervous at first about how you'd play it, but gradually relaxed.

Perfect in its imperfection
