Why cant every band be like these? What most musicians in the charts now if you can call them musicians write (get other people to write) is a load of shit compared to the GGD songs <3
does anybody have Name from the storytellers? i try to look it up at you tube but didn't find it! can somebody give me the link? LOVE LOVE LOVE GOO GOO GOO DOLLS!!!
@brodeurheaton Nah, they come from the 7 Mainstream artists whose songs are looped over and over again 24 hours a day on the radio. They call that jealousy.
SAD they aren't more popular but peeps like me from small towns in quiet parts of the country would never get a chance to see one of my Fav. bands...so that's great for us HICKS..haha
Me...brought up in the 60s. Love the music of that time. This music, by these guys, is really good. I really like listening to them. Special. Just a comment by and old dude about some music thats all.
@mwwells72 I grew up in the 90's and you just don't get this much feeling in music nowadays....I honestly...on my grandmother's grave...drive in silence on the road and just think 90% of the time...that's how bad music is now.....
@rangerovereleven the capo's on the second fret, I remember the first time I learned how to play this song on the guitar..i couldn't stop playing it, lol
Goo Goo Dolls are the best LIVE singers I have ever seen, most artists sing good on CD's and so. But, in LIVE they sound horrible. Unlike Goo Goo Dolls, CD's and LIVE are the exact same, <3 the song, <3 the band .. But my fav. song is Here is Gone.
I've seen over fifty people in concert and I kind of went to the goo goo doll knowing only a few songs by the end of the concert they were the best out of the concerts I'd been to. I was surprised needless to say I have bought alot of songs and I'm a huge fan. I did not realize how long they had been playing either.
If I had HIS voice, I'd be as famous as.....well, not him. I can't write songs like his. But I'd be happy with just an awesome voice like his. To have his voice AND his musical genius, that would be better than anything I can think of. RZEZNIK RULES!!
Always words with meaning and music that emulates and exonerates the feeling. These guys are brilliant. Always remind me of the The Cranberries for self-same reasons. Awesomes.
Sympathy..makes me think of love's end. The way it feels so bittersweet after moving on after a summer has ended. Love is so strong that it carries on. Have you ever seen how the seasons flow into one another? How fall comes right after summer? Sympathy.
I don't know why some people are saying the band isn't mainstream... They may not be so big right now, but did you live in a cave in the 90's? One of my favorites to listen to, especially when I'm feeling sad.
OMG!!!! I love his voice, and he's so hot!!!!!!!! OMG!!!! I just saw the Goo Goo Dolls in concert for the first time and had a great time. Thanks for posting this video!
@sianiix slide from the 7th fret to the 9th fret on the D string (4th string that has been tuned to C# for this song). Then strike it 4 times, pull down on the A string (5th) and slide to the 5th fret. That's it. :)
I think it's good that the Goo Goo Dolls aren't that mainstream because then everyone would listen to them and that "something" that they have would disappear and they'd become similar to every other bullcrap band that you hear on the radio these days. But that's just my opinion :-)
I really wish the Goo Goo Dolls were a little more mainstream because it's a waste that these crap artists like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus take all the spot light from the real and true musicians like the Goo Goo Dolls which is just one exmaple.
"And I was in love with all the things I tried to make you believe I was, and I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the things I wanted, and all the dark, and all the lies, were all the empty things disguised as me..."
so i know they play in a weird tuning but i learned this with the capo on the second fret like him but he is playing it different then me anyone know the tuning?
you should check out this new artist Andy Gruhin. he's like a new johnny reznick. Amazing stuff. search him on youtube or google. TRUST ME YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED!
