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.
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
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
@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!
@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!
Lisa Skaggs haha absolutely Lisa!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Have luvved these guys since their inception for their wit & intelligence not to mention unparalleled music 🎶 ♥️ 🎤 🎸 Funny thing is I had a dream where I was talking to John about adding a horn section 🎺 to a song we were writing together
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!!💜💜
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 👍🏻😇
@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.
U did leave a part of u in us,keep evolving,&Grow,didn't grow up listening 2 u that much but,only a little here& there,glad u made vedios now I'm visiting them, listening more again,I love your style.
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.
They get it..... DO NOT LOSE HALF YOUR AUDIENCE ....keep politics and music separate. Elvis got it... "HEY MAN I AM JUST AN ENTERTAINER". Save the music.....no political crap.
All the great and funny things they are talking about or all the great music they have put out and THATS all you can think of to say!?!? Somethings, sometimes just need to stay to yourself!!! Really dude!!!
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.
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 ! Women usually assume men like tgat have zero depth even if there actually really talented and smart . Natural works best . Eventually these dudes can morph into a living ken doll.
Brenda Harris Agreed. He’s such a handsome man. The facelift along with the additional nose job looks unnatural. If he didn’t want wrinkles, Botox woulda been a better option. In the video, “So Alive”, he still looks like Johnny Rzeznik.
Robbie is just as important as Jonny and Johnny knew it !
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.
"Robby" we have a lot of O's 😂😂 more then most bands😂😂😭😂😂 ONLY ROBBY CAN HIT THAT NOTE!!!😂😂😭😂😂 Love these guys!!!
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
Iris is my all time favourite song. Amazing feeling everytime I hear it.
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
So glad you didn't change the name!!! A name that will never be forgotten!!!
this is why I love this band, because they care about us
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
@sage And you are so much better?....
@sage LOL, I guess you have already lost then. Sit down brother. Sit down.
@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!

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.
YES,IM A FAN FOR LIFE BECAUSE HE TOOK UP FOR THE CHILDREN....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT....
I want to change the world and he wants to change his socks 😂😂😂😂😜 How can you NOT love these guys!!!💞💋💞
Lisa Skaggs haha absolutely Lisa!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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

thats the way it should be between brothers in life and music even if you are not brothers from the same mother.
It’s lovely
U r right Sir. Ty
Your band mates are imbeciles.
@@stuartbritain8529 I'm gonna let that one go LOL....
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
Robbie's speaking voice is the same as his singing voice.
You reckon!? He employs a hybrid english/irish/slight Scottish lilt when he sings as opposed to his speaking voice...in my opinion.
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.
Robbie songs are really good. Underrated. I wish he would have had a single.
I really find him to be an exquisite creature.
Johnny is so insightful. Full of wisdom and depth. That translates to his writings.
I remember trying to style my brother's hair to look like John's back when we were still in university hahaha!
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.

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

Love these guys, love everything they do! 🔥👏❤️😍🎸
Guys, love the music, love the lyrics. Excellent work. Thank you.
Goo Goo Dolls love your mix of songs .
Thank you 😊
A wonderful interview, thoughtful honest answers.
U did leave a part of u in us,keep evolving,&Grow,didn't grow up listening 2 u that much but,only a little here& there,glad u made vedios now I'm visiting them, listening more again,I love your style.
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!
Happy Birthday John Rzeznik! 53
John Rzeznik is one of my heroes. I wanted to be just like him. Tried to emulate everything about him. I wanted to be cool too
sage a cheater?
I cant totally disagree with you. The way the drummer left a few years back ( spend time with wife and baby) was odd.
Love them so much !!!
Love love!!
love 💘 Just it something of feeling. ,I can't help me or stop ,it's just seems coming natural to me !!!!!!
Candid lovely people...
Rock On
H.L.
The answer to the question bravo John ur a fucking legend
I have heard some of their songs..but really knew nothing of content or context.. John seems to be a solid citizen..good for him and the band!
Willingness To See The Adventure Through
Thank you for such an amazing interview! LOVE this guys!
Thank you, our pleasure!
Love this guys what?
great band
Johnny leave your eyebrows alone. You look great natural and I love your glasses, braking! ❤️❤️❤️
One of the most amazing voices in the biz. City of Angels was the best nick cage movie.
Love you so much! You have five good music?
I have an attention span on your music.
Your the best. My ex wife and I saw you in Alabama back in the 90's at a free concert, we were at the front stage....Love you guys....
Jimmy Marino hope you can create some new memories with a new woman at a goo goo dolls show soon sir
Maravilhoso 😍
lovely interview.
thanks bro.

I wanna hear a song with some had rockin' chords, riffs and solos!
wish I could interview them to here in uk
What he said about the world becoming Pavlovian.. it’s so true..
He stuck to his guns on the new album they talk about... Miracle Pill to the bone from the 5 songs he referred to.
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.
I meant to say I missed your concert in 2023
💕💕
Are you coming to northern California soon pleaee!!!!!!!!??
RIGA!!!! One of the greatest cities around!!!
Robbie's voice!
He looks like Mickey Rourke nowadays.
Lol
F you clowns. He can still sing and play. Who cares if he looks different.
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.
AgentMorgan2010 Aging sure ain’t for sissies. Lol
AgentMorgan2010 robbie looks fine! So thats bull shite mate!
They get it..... DO NOT LOSE HALF YOUR AUDIENCE ....keep politics and music separate. Elvis got it... "HEY MAN I AM JUST AN ENTERTAINER". Save the music.....no political crap.
I wish you could interview them
im going to interview them on October 5th this year! I'm so exited!!!!
Its all about Toxic yay , have fun , tell them twilight said hi lol 😆
Mykiea Mcafee okay lmao
me too
Johnny got a new tattoo on his hand I think...
wish I could get a signed poster
Does anybody know what happened to Johnny's face?
A not very flattering face lift
Rude comments about his looks aren’t necessary, his music is what matters the lyrics he writes are what matter.
Never mind his looks, how about the fact that he is a raging asshole?
Что у него с лицом?Такой был красава!
Starting to look like Michael Jackson
She is a rude interviewer to Robbie! When he talks pass the 🎤 mic to him!!!
Name is my all time favourite song.
Wonder if John includes abortion in his list of things we do to children.
Woman’s right to choose -shut up dude!
Bro, did you have plastic surgery? If you did you didn't need it....JIm
Jimmy Marino Thanks for the comment bro!
..yes he did,, looks like a face lift and tighter pull back
All the great and funny things they are talking about or all the great music they have put out and THATS all you can think of to say!?!? Somethings, sometimes just need to stay to yourself!!! Really dude!!!
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.
John Frankenstein Rzeznik.
They don’t seem like friends really
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 ! Women usually assume men like tgat have zero depth even if there actually really talented and smart . Natural works best . Eventually these dudes can morph into a living ken doll.
John looks a lot like Mickey Rourke here and that is not a good thing
Robbie Takac looks so thin these days. It's a bit jarring lol
He's only 53, why have plastic surgery at this point. My god that guy was a good looking dude.
Brenda Harris All those years of heavy drinking didn’t help!
Brenda Harris Agreed. He’s such a handsome man. The facelift along with the additional nose job looks unnatural. If he didn’t want wrinkles, Botox woulda been a better option. In the video, “So Alive”, he still looks like Johnny Rzeznik.
Johnny, you are a band. Quit talking about you.
Whats up with his plastic surgery though
I don't understand why people have this kind of plastic surgery. He looks like a doll. Perhaps........a Goo Goo Doll.....
