I have days were I want to hear head banging songs and this was one of Robby Takac's best head banging songs. I agree GGD went soft and they aren't really playing rock anymore and I sadly miss it.
@ccaggd1 yeah, i knew that. i think i heard/read that somewhere a while ago. didnt he actually like encourage Johnny to sing or something like that? im glad he did cause Johnny's amazing, they both are. thank goodness for Robby! haha :D i love GGD! <3
A lot of people talk terrible about Robbie, but I like his style. Its a nice offset from Jon's. Besides, he's got all sorts of charities he is involved in and is a good person. Doesn't that account for something?
@dannyd1572 He is awsome and i started to like his songs, only problem is his voice is just annoying, liek he is a good singer, but his voice itself doesn't sound that good, whereas johnnys is just like fucking heavenly when he says anything.
@SDCDIABLO LOL Yeah, his voice really doesn't fit the whole scheme of the band. His voice and style and just about everything is totally different than Johnny's.
Robby used to write good songs. Since gutterflower I don't really like his writing and singing. He stopped rockin'. They should listen to some old punk stuff and get in touch with their roots
@ZackCells Sorry, but I disagree. You can't say that any band should should '"go back to their roots"; it's natural for musicians to want to progress and experiment with new sounds. Artists wouldn't get anywhere if they were restricted to remaking the same record over and over. If you don't like new GGD stuff then that's fine, don't listen to it - I just don't think you can justify saying they need to "listen to old punk stuff" when this is how they've chosen they want their band to sound now.

while i like robby's spunk and animation, he has one of the crappiest singing voices known to man. i like "listen", "strange love," "slave girl", and maybe a song or two else of his, but he really isn't that great as a vocalist.
His voice is indeed different!! It's original, and i think it rocks!!!! His songs are really cool...like Burnin Up!!! Its awesome..it's like two different styles fot the same band....both killer in It's way!
dude go listen to the first record(1987), jed and hold me up his robbys voice is amazing on the old records back when they were a true garage band and ruled!
This is one of the few Robby songs I do like and I must say he preforms it very well. He's very animated on stage and I do love that aspect of him. Go Robby :D
Robby belted it out! "Like a NEEDLE through my heart". Someone needs to kick this band in the ass. They're a rock band, not some boring AOR act. They need to be reminded of this, what they need is an injection of life. Throw the drummer out, and get someone more violent to handle the kit. John needs to get divorced again, and Robby needs to speak up about not wanting to play "Iris" every day of his life, it's his band too, jeez.
Where I would love that, the fact of the matter is they grew out of their style and made a new one, it happens to every band that sticks around for a while. I agree with you though, they would be a lot more interesting if they started playing basic 3 piece stuff again.
Love this song so much! but I must admit this live version is not good as the studio take.

Robbie is so crazy in a good way :) so entertaining to watch and such an unique voice! He should get more attention.
His voice is so in tune but i prefer to listen to \John singing but i dont think his voice would suit this song or any of the thers Robbie sings.

Totally totally agree with you - dump the awful ballads of late and get back to the basics that got them into music in the first place!

I totally disagree with everything you said. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I tend to like the band the way they are. To each his own.
