Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon (Video)

[Ginaginashow]

I Love the Goo Goo Dolls. Their songs and music are the shit!

[BranTheManENow]

I haven't listened to Goo Goo Dolls for a while. Glad I stumbled upon them randomly in the past couple weeks.

[iamapeanut207]

If you're looking for good new music, try Skillet, Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Paramore, Flyleaf, Tenth Avenue North, Evanescence, or the Fray. :)

[valtonwilson]

@iamapeanut207 No my friend, all sept paramore are shit.

[iamapeanut207]

@valtonwilson Dude are you deaf? How could you not like Skillet?... Well Paramore is good. :)

[B4rC0d3666]

@iamapeanut207 NICKELBACK! lmfao!

[iamapeanut207]

@B4rC0d3666 :(

Don't like nickelback?

Is there anyone that likes all the bands I recommended.

Anyone?

[B4rC0d3666]

@iamapeanut207 Yo. I just wanted to thank you! I stumbled upon "make it stop" by Rise Against. sorry. I don't like nickelback.. anymore! I use to. anyway. peace peanut.

[BranTheManENow]

@iamapeanut207 I like all those bands expect for Nickelback, not a big fan, lol, but other stuff what you listed is good.

[FiDominate]

why does this only have 347656 views? this song should have over 10millions such a good song

[PandaNigg]

Theres still some good music in our generation.... you just have to search really hard.

[jaydub0101]

@MarkySaintLaurent wow you are truly a douche.

[ImTheBiscuitJunkie]

:D !

[droche321l]

Talented, sings from the heart, music surrrounds and enchants.



[23christopherp]

[libralove1388]

[lovealways1008]

@libralove1388 Me too! Love the 90s, everything was so much better! Music, tv shows, toys... 

[libralove1388]

@lovealways1008 so true those were the days

[babymuppet123]

[keithryan1025]

Fuckin heroin

[MiniMarshmalow139]

tipe in blackblloon same artist

[jessicapanky]

Linndo ' !!

[russbear31]

I've always loved this song and all of the Goo Goo Doll's music. They had some amazing hits during the '90s. I wish someone would make more music like this today. There's too much (c)rap on the radio.

[conebassman]

lol there's a woman trapped in a giant condom at 0.45 seconds in!!

[111177fb]

Great music and clever lyrics.



[0600904]

I wish I heard this stuff on the radio more often!

[Ashmista]

@Elliiieeyy Not the only one :P

[cheryl070]

legendary.

[JordexAndCo]

Black Balloon is still one of the best songs they've ever done in my opinion :)

[bizzyd69]

this is like one of the best songs so is their song iris

[jgraham0987]

Heres your thumbs up for 90s C : I love GGD the songs are real and the last generation of true music! keep playing guys and stop by florida sometime

[barkpeeler2000]

john rzeznik is gorgeous but i wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole

[TheNemmit]

Johnny Rzeznik truly has a gift. It's one thing to be a great musician, but to be able to write lyrics as beautiful, unique, and gripping as these and The Goo Goo Doll's other songs? That's amazing.

[youwantthisfire]

boys like girls Martin Johnson in 12 years.

[TheFirstImpression0]

I know most of you probably won't read this or even care to what I'm about to say.

I'm in a band and our dream is to one day become famous and do what we love: write music and peform for our fans. I mean isn't that what life is about? Doing what you love to do? If you guys can, it would be a TREMENDOUS help to us. Check out our original song "More Than You Know" on our channel and comment and rate. Also "like" our page on facebook if you really like us :)) you won't be dissappointed :))

[MegadethDM7]

This reminds me of the days when they used to play music on MTV...

[DemonPrince1538]

[AlexRhymeheart]

@FireMoviesNL

No its from 1998

[KANNON07]

@cheezitcereal I've seen this comment before, do you put up this comment every now and than? Keep it up, because I'm a 90's kid myself, what a great decade to have lived through. If you keep posting this I'll have no choice but to keep clicking the thumbs up and keep replying. From Paul, High School graduate of '07 have a great day.

[euphoriatea]

[LovelyDays1000]

[Xediion]

[tumblebubbles1]

I just got back from their concert! Michelle Branch and Parachute opened for them. I've been listening to them all night and I still can't get enough of their songs.

[jmccarthyXXX]

@tumblebubbles1 yeah, i went too :D, it was the shit, Michelle was pretty good, but when they played "Slide" i was like "YES!!!"

[jw6926]

@tumblebubbles1

omg i envy u so much :(

[lcpstoopidass]

satan has 6 youtube accounts

[kathylu002]

Six people don't know what good music is. Stop listening to rap, and let real music take you awayyyyyyyy~!

[VivaNewVegas]

i should try blowing a bubble with cigarette smoke, could be cool.  Then flash freeze the bubble!

[12jacksonn]

vAO ESCUTA XUXA Q VCS GANHAM MAIS KKKKKKKKKKK

[12jacksonn]

[SabAndDebbie]

[ajax1324]

good only 5 dislikes they should fly away on their black baloons

[Avlis28]

Sou apaixonado por essa Banda e em pcirncipal por essa música...me lembra o tempo em que eu era feliz e não sabia.

[ashwinroyan]

baby's black balloon makes her fly

[original387]

John is sooo effin' gorgeous ommmg :)

[001GenLee]

When i first heard this song on the radio, i thought he was saying, " I almost fell into the hole in your eye. " LOL Which in a way, does make sense, because when a guy falls in love with a girl, they look into the pupil part and of course, looks like a small black hole, so, it could connect with falling in love somehow...I almost fell into that hole in your eye/life. ...because if there's attraction there, then that's where a new life for a couple could start..spark turns into fire..

[EmmaEnvyRawr]

Same guitar in every video, it is a shmexxi guitar though

[TheMarckell]

love all every single of thier song love goo goo dolls sooo much!

[Angel102685]

I love this song. The lyrics, music video, and the melody are just beautiful. I swear whenever I hear Black Balloon being played somewhere, I just cannot help it, but sing-a-long to it because it is such a beautiful song, and it is kind of difficult not to.

[SAVEINNJdotcom]

Why does this video not have 1,000,000 views?

[asdfgghhjg]

enogh with the ads YOUTUBE!

[daveinchi1975]

Great Band, Excellent under-rated songs, unfortunate choice of band name!

[teslafan11]

[DrPHDFlopper]

[theshadow4717]

[xoXLeah14]

[TheTyDub]

[ailsha96]

90s... i miss you!

[PuntYourHorse1818]

@ailsha96 Amen, brother.

[MasterPphilonius]

You peeps must be on the drugs, its not about drug abuse, its about a woman who left him because she thought she was out of his league..........its simple

[davidwantland]

@MasterPphilonius

Songs are different things to different people, and I really like your interpretation of it.

But for the sake of clarification, I have heard it the other way in interviews with the band.

[wrfrock]

@MasterPphilonius

YUP!!

[rilesrox]

@MasterPphilonius

"This song, according to the band's frontman Johnny Rzeznik, is about a woman with a heroin addiction and how her lover is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that it is about "seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad." Speculation as to the song's subject has included bassist Robby Takac's ex-wife (who overdosed on heroin)."

[TheYueqian]

@rilesrox thanks for sharing

[NovemberCanSmile]

This song is so beautiful. It has a very special place in my heart. Anyone who thinks otherwise is with the trolls. Can't we just enjoy music anymore, without the bullshit commentary and petty arguments, and unnecessary Justin Bieber references? Grow up.

[DeathMazhine]

this is nice bro

[MommyBird10]

oh this music makes if feel REAL good to Reminess...:)...such a simpler time was the 90's...i miss that...

[davytyler]

i pray to this song sometimes, when i feel empty, Hannah i miss u :'(

[piperjolien]

one of my fav...song!!

[Jazziefreddie]

Beautiful video !

[SyphonFilter899]

The intro O.O..... is awesome.

[Brandon31328]

brings u back

[rockynanach]

great rock ballads

[screwston0707]

i LOVE this song.......

[ShortStackFangirl]

...is he wearing pearls??

[KIDSHOTTCHICK]

@ShortStackFangirl No, he is wearing one of those '90s guy necklaces made from the big silver plastic ball things. It would be awesome if he WAS though!

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@KIDSHOTTCHICK SISSIES=GOO GOO DOLLS

[ohthatweirdgirl]

@KINGARTHUR3341 You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Go back to your Justin Bieber. :]

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl Justin who???? Bitch, I like van halen, metallica, led zeppelin, black sabbath, ozzy with randy, judas priest, deep purple, iron maiden, collective soul , queen, rainbow, dio, yngwie malmteen, doors , nuclear assualt, megadeth, concerto moon, kreator, slayer, red hot chilli peppers, sandpeople, ufo, alice cooper, tupac, destruction, paul mccartney, the beatles, hendrix, sting, lynard skynard, foghat, 38 special, yes, motorhead

[ohthatweirdgirl]

@KINGARTHUR3341 All I said was that you didn't know what you were talking about because you said that the goo goo dolls were sissies. They're definitely not, but judging from your bands, IDK why you even looked up this video because it is way out of your genre range. BTW.. you're music isn't as unique as you think, more than half those bands are mainstream (or terrible). and for someone who thinks GGD are sissies, you listen to fucking Sting... LOL.

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl Who said these bands were unique?? (I mentioned them because they are a good representation of their genre dummy). Mainstream or underground is irrelevant. Please pay attention. Ohh did you notice I also said sandpeople and nuclear assualt because you seem to be missing the point of why I said sting. Where is your ability to think critically LOL.

[ohthatweirdgirl]

@KINGARTHUR3341 again, all I said was that you think Goo Goo Dolls are sissies when you listen to softer music... duh. I'm literally just repeating what you said.

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl how dense can you be? I obviously do not like the goo goo dolls by my comment. Like I said, read between the lines dummy.

[ohthatweirdgirl]

@KINGARTHUR3341 I like how you're calling me dumb, but you're the one that goes out of your way to look up and comment on music videos that you don't like. You're clearly not wanted here then, so kindly fuck off :]

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl what a bitch lol

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl And please read through the lines when people say things. Coming to a bold conclusion when you are not even paying attention.

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@ohthatweirdgirl pantera, steppenwolf , cream, ect...and a whole bunch of underground and known music you dont even know or heard of. What makes you think i dont know what i am talking about?

[7r0113r]

@KINGARTHUR3341 mad?

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@7r0113r yeah can you tell?

[cammack07]

@KINGARTHUR3341 HIPSTER ALERT

[KINGARTHUR3341]

@cammack07 IM SO DARK AND MEAN MOTHERFUCKER, ILL PULL YOUR GUTS OUT OF YOUR FUCKEN ASS HOLE............... AND THEN WRAP THEM AROUND YOUR......... GOD ....DAMMMM.....NECK

[SteamRacer]

A true masterpiece, I must say.

[jstine25]

Only 100k Views? Wow....what the hell is wrong with people.

[J0lker]

@jstine25 don't pretend you don't know :D they all are on Lady Gaga's vevo all the time

[jdcool038]

@jstine25 there's only a "low" number of views because youtube is a new internet concept. when this song came out, youtube and views didnt exist. thats why all the new songs get millions of views in a week and the older songs have to catch up. people have to re-discover these songs on youtube.

[MegadethDM7]

@jstine25 If youtube would of been this big in the 90's it would be in the millions no doubt

[Bobby8458]

this band is just freaking amzing in my eyes

[Belterize]

This song is on par with iris. I just don't know which one is better!

[culleky07]

I'll become, what you became to me. Amazing

[MrDarwinrules]

That's a mighty fine picken and a singing!

[brandonhSd]

Man I love this song... but I can't stand the lead singer's douche-bag haircut...

[xoXLeah14]

they have some pretty good new songs, but their old music is unbeatable 

[XsingleXkittykatX]

I must admit I think this is my fav Goo Goo Dolls song <3

[daveNbusterz1210]

@XsingleXkittykatX i luv this song but i like iris and better days too so freaking good

[XsingleXkittykatX]

@daveNbusterz1210 I like many of their songs but this one is my favourite...Iris and Better Days are wonderful but Iris is waaaay too common and a bit overly played. I hardly ever hear this song. It gives me a tingly feeling in the tummy ^-^

[Bansheeeyes78]

Rzeznik has the best voice, hair and style! Have been a fan of Goo's since 1995's "A Boy Named Goo" album. So many great memories with their music.Cheers to the awesome 90's! :)

[isabellabliss]
