Goo Goo Dolls - 2 - Big Machine - Live at Red Rocks

[@SAMCTB]

Lol, no. Johnny Rzeznik has never lip-synced in his entire life. They're real musicians, he sings live EVERY time.

[@chadhinson508]

nice explanation man.....johnny is still a beast!!!! he still sounds way better than most artists live in this performance. true talent right there

[@ajspice]

It depends on the concert and how fucked up he is. A buddy of mine from back in the day was a radio DJ and told Johnny was hammered before going out on stage. To be fair, it was an off season, holiday concert, so I don't think they were 100%. And they didn't perform Big Machine which bummed me out, because it's such a good opener.

[@michaelellison6098]

Was at he show, and it is definitely not lip synched. Also, the crowd was singing louder than band. LOL

[@YourAverageJo]

Not a single dislike. It's the Goo Goo fucking Dolls, what do you expect?

[@fogger00]

I wasn't planning to upload all the songs, but since I have been getting requests to upload certain songs, I will cut and upload all songs from the concert soon.

[@amctothemax]

woah! he's using a gibson instead of his half-caster this time on Big Machine! something new :P

[@Fyst67]

Goo Goo Dolls je vous aime !!

[@LeanThe3rd]

Moi aussi 🥰

[@nutimari]

this is a big band machine in the world!

[@mboxfan1226]

@bojanglesme its not lip sync....you can tell his voice is straining at parts and it doesnt sound exactly like the actual song. its sounds good though

[@Fyst67]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE♥

[@netisforporn666]

@netisforporn666 Let me just add one more thing. This isn't done because Johny can't do a set at normal range. It's because when you're on tour you're doing this night after night, sometimes only a day between breaks, and after a long time it wears on your vocals. So bands will often play their music live at a lower tuning than on the album in order to lower the stress levels the vocalist must endure.

[@pearlipop]

hahahhaa john is freakin amazing.

[@Parkmanpranks]

Great lyrics!

[@Zac6230]

6 feet is his celebrity height if you know what I mean

[@astang1072]

A lot of online lyrics have it wrong. He’s pretty clearly singing “I’m blind and waitin’ for you” both parts of the chorus, no “I’m lying…” And he’s pretty clearly saying “you’re all I’m not…”. Not “you're all or not..”

[@sadler57]

Awesome performance! He cant hit the high notes as good anymore but still sounds amazing. What do you think Johnny is motioning to at 2:14 ? Looks like he wants his vocals turned up or something??

[@ljg307]

Yea it must be a delay. If it was a tape it would sound better. Plus at the start of the song you can hear him coming up to the mic a second late.

[@leonardos5317]

They played here in São Paulo yesterday. ; )

[@Floydandsome]

just check out his "live in alaska" video you understand he is 6 feet lol

[@aleeraya2247]

What a tall dude 😳 thank you for telling about John's height

[@aleeraya2247]

I did saw their live performance of this song (Live in Alaska)

[@jakestein32]

He isn’t, I’m 6 feet and much taller than him

[@Floydandsome]

@@jakestein32 Maybe you are right afterall

[@letitbe978]

Underrated

[@paz21]

I just thought it was set lower to avoid copyright technicalities. Isn't that what they do to videos sometimes?

[@JeremysRants]

Love unrequited love songs lol. Nice change from drug songs they normally play.

[@loriketz2431]

❣

[@RyanDJGillian]

@mattbeermusic i noticed that too, maybe he just shouted at the mic or the back up vocalist filled in :/

[@Zac6230]

no way I stood up beside him and have the photos to prove it 5'10/.5

[@Floydandsome]

I've never seen him before lol I just google his height and watch his live video to guess you are right

[@MssEarthWaterAirFire]

damn, never once that his chewingum falls :D

[@Zac6230]

I am very 5'8 the top of my head was over his eyes, this was in a 2006 meet and greet

[@Floydandsome]

he is about 6 ft

[@AleeRaya12]

He is really 6 ft tall

[@Zac6230]

no that's was the back up guys voice ahead of john. John missed his cue

[@Zac6230]

no way he's 5 10. tops I stood right beside Im and Im 5'8

[@Floydandsome]

He is 183 cm i dont think he is short....

[@AleeRaya12]

It's not short because John Rzeznik stands at 1.83 meters which is equivalent to 6 ft

[@Zac6230]

no way is he 6ft

[@robcostido]

@bojanglesme There's the delay/echo on his John's vox....

[@emmanuelaudencialadolfo4914]

Hi u you u1uí,iiiZ7ty83667%+%%%

[@netisforporn666]

@embraceforever21 No. The entire song here is played at least a half-step down. Since the patented screech-y power that Jonny is known for is something that the human vocal only allows easily at certain ranges for a singer, what you're hearing that sounds so badly is just him singing at a range that doesn't express the best things about his vocal style. However, it IS easier to sing lower physically. That's why bands do this sort of thing for live shows. It lessens the vocal stress.

[@mattyMAN64]

do you have the vids of cuz your gone and slave girl?

[@Zac6230]

in real life he likey screwed up, they likely edited something in for the dvd, they can do things like that in post production

[@Zac6230]

they were in the 90's

[@Crazelord91]

Great song n I love how Johnny looks like a middle aged woman in a power suit

[@georgenunez9080]

1-12-2023!

[@mattbeermusic]

it's funny cause you can hear his voice perfectly for the first word yet it doesn't look like he got to the mic yet

[@DanielBrowne-dz7we]

GGDs should have been much bigger.

[@Claymation99]

Dude needs to get back to playing Strats

[@kaylaschulz7515]

Life end

[@Floydandsome]

maybe you are not just 5'8 lol

[@soundbounce123]

lol at start hes like shit wheres the mic!

[@robcostido]

@robcostido after watching it again....it's just plain bad editiing!

[@project10bball]

aw, wish he would have played it with that four string strat..not this gibson lol

[@ryde25]

he was trying to match it with his suite that's why

[@kaylaschulz7515]

Live pozen

[@Usedtobebillie]

Jhonny's voice in this concert was painful, no power, tired, hoarse, his voice is still beautiful but he lost a lot of his range due to his lack of care for his voice.

[@TheWinterfalls]

how does he started to sing even before reach the mic? lool 0:20

[@gsindelar1]

Song and performance: awesome. Jonny's suit: not awesome.

[@kaylaschulz7515]

Yes and no

[@MrMustard2U]

He clearly missed the first few words of the opening song, Yet it was loud as ever, Wonder if this concert was lip synched?

[@jbru9576]

Red Rocks was not a great concert for them

[@NickyPInICT]

Sorry guys. I don't want to believe it either, but 2:32 lip synch
