  • I love the album, and I love the song. Phenomenal performance by the Goo Goo Dolls as always, and as always another fantastic written song from Johnny.

  • Why do people even try comparing the Goo with today's mainstream artists? Bieber, Cyrus, etc. can't even compare to the Goo Goo Dolls and their talent. I'm so glad they're still making music!

  • How patriotic !! Come on Goo Goo dolls give the boys in Iraq a free show.

  • Never get sick of these guys. pure talent, keep rockin' Johnny

  • The Goo Goo Dolls still have rockin' music.

  • perfect song for another perfect album

  • s2 Maravilhosamente perfeito !

  • I think I will definitely be able to get into this more than the latest stuff they've put out. Can't wait for the new record now!

  • I'm still feeling this song...It's very cool...Come talk about this and all things Goo related at Lucky Star proboards....Just search those words and you'll be there...

  • That Oh, Oh, Oh part is pretty unique for the GGD's, I can imagine some B-3 organ in there...

  • Yes, John and Robby write all of their own music and John has written/co-written with other artists too (ie. recently David Cook) Trying to compare the classic style and music of Goo to Miley Cyrus is like comparing an expensive wine to Boones Farm.

  • I wouldn't admit that I wrote David Cooks music...

  • John spends a certain amount of time bitching that the ggds are a rock and roll band, but people only ever pay attention to the few "love ballads". I just hope that John puts his money where his mouth is and makes sure that the new album ("Something for the Rest of Us"?) rocks HARD.

  • it would be nice if it came out for christmas

  • both of the new songs are amazing! can't wait to hear the rest of the songs from the album!

    aheyrma just read my thoughts, that's exactly what i think.

  • Any legit goo goo fan would call it like it is and accept that LLI was junk compared to there previous material...

    It cant hold a candle beside a boy named goo, SSCW, Dizzy, Gutter and even the old school 80's albums for that matter. The album was as dull as a plastic knife. This at least some edge!

    Which is why hearing this track offers new hope and hopefully returns the goos to there great form!!

  • thats an ingnorant statemant. music is subject. to say that one type of music is better than an other is like saying the red is better than blue. some people like it, and some people dont. your never gonna have a unanimous opinion on music. I also think that any legit goo goo dolls fan would would appreciate all thier music in at least some shape or form

    btw this songs great

  • Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

    However, music absolutely can be judged to some degree objectively.

    Some music is better than others.

    Its just that not everyone is going to recognize that say superstar car wash and a boy named goo are better albums than LLI.

    Goo Goo Dolls are a great great band and i would never slag them. But not all goo goo doll songs are equal.

    Example. The song Name is without question better than anything on LLI.

    Fact.

  • again, you can not claim that name is better than anything on let love in as a fact. If it was fact, it would need 100% consensus. Personally i think better days is their best song. however i can not claim that as a fact obviously because you disagree. music can be critcized to a point where opinion is not inter-related. You can say that the SSCW and ABNG have longer and more complex solo's, guitar riffs, etc... but it would be ignorant to say that the music sounds better

  • Actually, i can make that claim. Any music critic, fan, or otherwise first time listener can tell you that their success, both critical and commercial, has come from their earlier work. ABNG is a platinum selling album--that requires consensus. What you're telling me here is that ANY music, ie) hilary duff, can be seen as better than something produced by a legit artist because subjectively speaking, there will always be SOMEONE who likes it better than something produced by a real artist.

  • Thats actually exactly what im saying. Even though i would disagree that someone like hilary duff would come even close to how good the goos are and i dont see how anyone would disagree, they still do. According to your logic SSCW was junk BECAUSE it wasnt a platinum selling album. If what you say is true, Miley cyrus makes the best music these days. i would even bet she goes on to sell way more records and make way more money than the goo goo dolls. Does that make her music better?

  • Whoa

    The intent of what I wrote was to make the point that miley cyrus and other similiar junk is terrible and cannot be compared to a legit artist such as the Goos.

    It was your logic that said music is like comparing red and blue and that its all about opinion.

    Popular opinion is that Miley cyrus etc... = Good. When in FACT it is BAD.

    I brought up commercial success in respect to ABNG as just one of many reasons why its better then LLI.

    Also SSCW is legendary. You put words in my mouth.

  • so what makes miley cyrus in fact bad?  is it because its not what you like? What criteria do you base your logic on what is good and bad and is this criteria universal or is it YOUR criteria? again i dont personally believe miley cyrus is even in the same stratosphere of the goo goo dolls, but thats just me.

    btw good disscussion

  • I just think that a FACT does not require 100% universal consensus. That is impossible. Even the laws of society(s) do not have 100% consensus, even evolution does not have 100% consensus. Yet = still fact.

    Personal taste is subjective. But some music is superior to others.

    The song 'Name' does not need 100% consensus to justify why its better than anything on LLI.

    Its better on so many levels, not just technically and commercially but also in terms of its longevity, its impact/influence.

  • The defintion of a fact is that it does need 100% universal consensus, it can have 0 doubt. evolution has a lot of evidence, but has not been proven. i am arguing that better days is better than name. The majority of people would most likely say iris is better. I believe better days has just as much longevity and has had MUCH more impact/influence on me. I could even go as far as to say that it changed my life. music is 100% subjective. Its impact/influence is determined by the listener.

  • Comment removed

  • what makes Miley Cyrus bad is the fact that she doesn't write or produce any of her own music, if she even makes ANY music at all. Any real "artist" will make/write their own music/lyrics. I have trouble beleiving that the Goos album with Let Love In and Better Days (the album name escapes me sorry) was actually their writing. It didn't sound original, it sounded like ever other pop song on the radio...no offense to people that liked that music, but seriously

  • Actually the goo goo dolls write 100% of their own music, unless they do a cover, and miley cyrus does write some of her own music too.

  • You go ahead and keep thinking that about Miley Cyrus, and I'll just keep hearing laughter in my head...deal?

    And I really TRULY do HOPE that the Johnny Rzeznik would not allow ANYONE else to write his music...

    Also do you know ANYTHING about record labels...i'm not trying to bash your intelligence of the music industry...but seriously...

  • ABNG, DUTG, and Gutterflower are examples of ORIGINAL writing. Along with their late 80s stuff...I don't really care all too much for their punky stuff...don't hate it, just not my cup of tea

  • honestly, i would include Superstar car Wash in this list. This album shows a better GGD, a band starting to show some grow ya know

  • @GUTTERFRIEND

    I can see where you're coming from on that.

    Naked was on that album right?

  • no, it was on a boy named goo

  • THAT'S Right, I was thinking about Cuz You're Gone, my mistake.

  • i agree thats why id say im a legit fan, i can HONESTLY say i love all their music, the following is my response to the past 5 comments, music should be loved, not judged, you either like it or you dont, (the exception are COVER songs, they are fair game for all critique ,since its not a bands original work) thank you and good night

  • i would say im a legit fan, i own EVERY CD theyve released ,and ive loved everything since goo goo dolls released" livin in a hut" and i gladly love their let love in album, its perfectly fine to not like let love in, this type of soft rock does not appeal to everyone. In the end it is all subective,

    the goo goo dolls give a COMMANDING ENTRANCE on all of their albums starting from a boy named goo. but please dont bash them if you love the goo goo dolls,

  • @mellanbee19 I completely agree with you. The last album I got from them was Dizzy Up The Girl which was great! It had rockin' songs on it like Dizzy, Amigone, etc. All the song were great. A Boy Named Goo and Superstar Carwash are awesome as well and rock more. Never listened to any earlier material though. Just think how big of a hit "We Are The Normal" would be if it were released today.

  • HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE HIT!

    i must listen to it now. :\

  • Wow! lets hope this is a sign of a return to form after recent years awfulness, and that terrible Let Love In album - what were they thinking! And as for "un-musicians don't understand" that some berk wrote, what a plonker! Welcome back Goo's - can't wait for the new album!

  • Put it this way...I cannot wait until the new album is out in Feb xD

  • to say that a goo goo dolls song is disappointing goes against every law of nature. J Rez is incapable of making bad music. Thus, it is not the fault of the goo if someone does not like a song, but rather the fault of those persons ears for not being capable of hearing the beauty of the goo

  • Wow. It's like reliving my favorite years. It's so much like Jed, or SCW... original all over again. After Let Love In, this is going to set everything in order.

    Excuse me while I squeal with joy.

  • Alright alright alright!

    This is so much better then anything on Let love in... The goos are so much better than that disappointing album...

  • It was not a disappointment!!! It was something they had to do to get out of their system all that junk and start fresh!

    Un-musicans just don't understand! :'(

  • YEAH ROCK OUT

  • i hate that damn amway sign. ggd would never have a sponsers name onstage at one of their own concerts

  • @tovangar2 haha yea that shit sticks out like a sore thumb...

  • gardensaladsynthesis, I'll say, that stupid ice shows showing no rzezpect. i knew there was a reason i never bought anything amway: a lifetime pre-boycott just to protest this instance of their pathetic lack of class. You got ggd there you dont need your name. nothin trumps the goo.

  • Wow, is Johnny channeling Paul? The song, voice, even the way he moves...

  • Sweeeeet.

    I love my username even more now.

  • great song, it sounds like they are getting closer to their older sound again. Can't wait for the new album

  • THIS FUCKING ROCKS

  • YES! finally they make good music again. I lost my hope with Let Love In. Finally some energy

  • LOVE IT! Watch the camera man bouncing around too. He was getting into it (I was sitting right behind him) LOL

  • im so anxious for the new album!!!

  • This song freakin ROCKS!!! They still got it!! =)

  • Sounds like this album is going back a few years...not much of let love in...very exciting!

  • This one's pretty Good! I can't wait anymore!!

    awesome song - can i say it, without offending anyone, but i think the goo goo dolls are back baby!! lol, dont get me wrong, i adore everything they have ever done, but i do prefer this type of stuff from them!!! love it!! thank you sooooo much man!

  • 10-10-2009. He ain't blue. He's only 42. Happy Birhtday, Mike Malinin. Maybe you can come perform in my area sometime. Columbia, SC and/or Augusta, GA. Think about it. Peace out.

  • song needs more edge

  • Zac6230: The studio version of the song is actually a little rougher from what the fansite exclusive video showed. The guitars have more of a crunch and the bass is more prominent. Should sound amazing on the disc, though it's still solid live.

  • I hope so as a fan for 15 years i hope they get more edge in their sound, its going a bit too polished me thinks

  • how do you know? have you heard the studio version?

    x

  • yes, blackwacky... how is it you have heard the studio version? Would love to know....

  • It was such a great show! I'm so glad I was able to be there! What great new songs!

  • amazing.!<33

  • Thanks for posting this! I was there last night too. I loved it!!! They are such an awesome band!

  • i'm not so sure about this one....

  • im feeling the same way, it's not like them at all, sounds like another song. But i guess it'll grow on me after awhile when i buy the album lol

  • This sounds a lot like 19th nervous breakdown by the rolling stones, check it out. Great song though. The 'oh oh' bit reminds of the bit from U2's vertigo.

  • thank you!!!

    sounds like a mix of GGD/U2/Bon jovi
