Goo Goo Dolls

[CityandColour]

Anyone for the Goo-Goo's?

Some of my favorites:
Here Is Gone
Slide
It's Over
Iris
Black Balloon
Big Machine
Sympathy
Truth is a Whisper

[Corner Kid]

Havent listened to them in a long time, but they used to be my favorite band... I think they define the Pop-Rock sound of the 90s... Their chord structures and vocals are a big influence on me. Iris is one of the best Pop Ballads of all-time in my opinion... my favorites:

All Eyes on Me
Iris
Name
Black Balloon
Acoustic #3

[fifi]

I love them!!!

black balloon is my favourite ggd song ;) :P

[badali]

Black Balloon is awesome, I also like Slide, City of Angels & Truth is a Whisper ;)

[fifi]

I've only heard dizzy up the girl but I listened to it too much and the c.d got ruined :embarrased: :rolleyes:

[el_scorcho]

Goodness I love em :blush: Slide is just the most romantic song ever and I love Iris and Black Balloon and alll the others and woo :P

[CityandColour]

:D

Wow, I've never thought of any GGD's songs, romantic...

:stunned:

[el_scorcho]

I think Slide is... "put your arms around me, what you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful...oh babe do you wanna get married and run away" :lol: doesn't get anymore romantic than that

[CityandColour]

Lol, now maybe if it was a slower song then I would think that.

;)

[el_scorcho]

:) Yeah it all depends...I also think Iris is romantic. :blush:

[CityandColour]

Aw, I think Iris is sad.

:( :cry:

[ChelRaquel]

Yes! I love the goo goo dolls! They were my first real concert. After I started getting into Radiohead, I thought the goo goo dolls were, at times, repeditive and standard... but not everybody can be as insane as Radiohead and I still love the dolls as much as ever... and Coldplay is my favorite over Radiohead...

[badali]

I'm listening to slide now :smug:

"I wanna wake up where you are ... "

[Majson]

i love iris, such a class song

[el_scorcho]

I think Jon Rzeznik (spelling?) is the coolest ever. :cool:

[Corner Kid]

I hate how people say that Goo Goo Dolls sold out when they mellowed out. It was their decision to take a new direction. Plus, they didnt think that a song like "Name" would be so huge, it was a personal favorite of theirs so they put it on the album, and they were shocked when it made the charts.

[Soufiane]

I downloaded the album " Let love in " and i really loved their songs ! theyr're great !

I love the Goo Goo Dolls! My favorite is "Without You Here"

It has the best lyrics, hands down. I have no idea why it wasnt a single.

When John Rzeznik thanked the Taft Theatre crowd for sticking with the Goo Goo Dolls for the last 12 years, it didn’t mean he’s bad at math or that he’s necessarily trying to appear younger than he is. The band has actually been around since the mid-‘80s, but Rzeznik knows his current audience came aboard in 1995 when radio picked up the Goo Goo Dolls’ ballad “Name.”

Prior to ’95, the Buffalo band had a modest following on the college circuit and a sound best described as a second-rate version of their punk-rock heroes the Replacements. At the Taft Saturday night, it was a decisively 1995-and-after Goo Goo Dolls concert, from the radio-ready pop-rock delivered by the band to the very young, very female sold-out crowd.

The Goo Goo Dolls blazed through 16 songs in a one-hour set, and the crowd was familiar with and approving of just about every selection. Rzeznik is a machine that produces hit hooky ballads and mid-tempo rock, all very similar in their sound, and all sort of sappy in their sentiments about girls. There wasn’t a woman in the house not singing along to the Hallmark-card lyrical moments of the megahits “Slide” (“I wanna wake up where you are…”) and “Iris” (“You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be…”).

Rzeznik, the band’s primary lead vocalist and guitarist, was the night’s star even when he wasn’t singing lead. The Goo Goo Dolls, officially a trio with bassist Robby Takac and drummer Mike Malinin rounding out the lineup, were augmented by sidemen Brad Fernquist (guitar) and Korel Tunador (keyboards, guitar and saxophone).

Takac sang lead three times, which was at least two times too many. His selections, especially “Tucked Away” and “January Friend,” were models of the Goo Goo Dolls’ pre-“Name” power-pop days, but just because they were faster and louder than Rzeznik’s songs didn’t make them better. Takac’s bass-pounding, stage-sprinting act is always tiresome, and when he steps to the microphone it’s too much to take. The audience turned its attention to Rzeznik, who wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary to steal the spotlight from his over-singing bandmate.

Might Rzeznik let Takac sing lead to make himself appear that much better? Whatever the case, Keith Richards never gets more that a couple chances to front the Stones in concert, and he’s actually enjoyable to watch.

It comes down to the fact that the show works best as a love-song sing-along, and if Rzeznik didn’t have enough of them in his catalog before, he added a ringer in the form of the Supertramp cover “Give a Little Bit.” The song appears on the band’s most recent album, “Let Love In,” and the Goo Goo Dolls broke it out for their encore, complete with a sax solo by Tunador.

Augustana warmed up for the Goo Goo Dolls with a 40-minute set that closed with “Boston,” a current radio hit for the San Diego band. The band’s music is the sort of piano-laden soft-rock that has become popular thanks to Coldplay, and as for the band’s other obvious inspiration, melancholy-mannered singer Dan Layus is a set of dreadlock hair extensions away from a Counting Crows copyright suit.
