  • Haste the Day does an amazing cover of this song, But it's still nothing to the original lol

  • Twister.. enough said!

  • thumbs up if you think the goo goo dolls should have their own radio station playing their songs and many other amazing rock bands :D classics that never get old

  • amazing song...singer sounds like corey hart

  • I had forgotten how great GGD was/are. This older stuff is still awesome. They should be blasting this older stuff on the radio.

  • FJ -ERS THUMB UP :)

  • PLUS 1

  • this song fucking rocks, plain and simple.

  • this rocks!!

  • I learned this song as the Haste The Day version

  • 716 in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!.............­..!!

  • the video made my head hurt ):

    

  • man they rocked way back when.......!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this song was featured in the "TWISTER" Motion Picture Soundtrack

  • I listen to this song at least once a week!

  • goo goo dolls are a hit band this song started it

  • the ONE Goo Goo Dolls album with the BEST. SOUND. EVER.

    A BOY NAMED GOO - INSTANT CLASSIC!

  • I love the line where he's like "Long way down"

  • i love the line in the middle that goes "is there nothing left to feel? is it pain that makes you real? cut me off before it kills me"

  • @jimilutionary101 My hood too, me and johnny graduated from the same High School McKinley High School

  • @rkofan1993 tha 716 homay!!...its all about Hertel tho

  • the sounds of the 90's were just that of pure magic !!!

  • Wow...back when the Goo Goo Dolls used to be good. Brings back memories...

  • @MrRoboto81 used to be good??What'dya mean??

    

  • the goos prove they can rock when they want here. One of the best evolved bands of all time.

  • well we can thank the goo goo dolls for doing their part in the 90's

  • I think this video was foreshadowing the fact that a girl was about to get dizzy because of them.

  • @DizzyedUpGirl No, I don't think that's the case. The song was placed on the Twister Soundtrack. I think the effect was made to be "twister-like."

  • they are the second Lemonheads.even not bad.

  • great song but the music video would give someone a seizure

  • yeah.... and the video gives you a feeling of vertigo

  • yeah.... and the video gives you a feeling of vertigo

  • That is a very powerful song!

  • My mom watched this video...she fainted at the first camera switch....dammit awesome video

  • The Goos used to have a lot more punkish and heavier stuff in their early days. Their sound has changed since the Dizzy Up The Girl album, but nonetheless they're still good. I like both old school and today Goo Goo Dolls.

  • I'm dizzy o.o

  • I personally prefer Haste The Day's cover of this song, but this is still very good.

  • TWISTER!

  • @JAKE076

    no

  • I seen the Detroit Red Wings use this song when they came on the ice for warmups. It was so bad ass watching them skate to this song.

  • bad ass song,,one of their best

    

  • @JEFEREX

    What other good ones did they have? I mean really good ones... don't just start naming songs.

  • Put the rest of the Goo Goo Dolls music videos back on YouTube, feel free to come by and check it out,

    - Chad

  • @Sain117 you suck :)

  • goo goo dolls or U2?

  • @jamaicanhemp Goo Goo Dolls, obviously :]

  • Yeah, that's definately how'd I'd describe John. UGLY.

    Are you serious? Quit commentating on the appearance of men, queer.

  • lol, why dont you go check out the comments to some of Rzeznik's interviews, and see what the chicks there think. but yes their songs are cool...very cool.

  • catchy beat

  • fave band ever

    and i know over 8897543 bands

  • this is a great band and song...

  • This song may be the best song from goo goo dolls EVER

  • Haha sarcasm from Ramni, thats my boy!

  • you are right... Haste the Day really sound better...only when you turn off the annoying drums and voice of the singer it's a pretty good cover :D

  • i totally agree...all the way man. wait..hold on...i just remebered im not a metrosexual emo or faggot...nevermind...have a nice day.

  • It only sounds better faster because you can't play along with it at this tempo, like all kiddies trying to play guitar... a faster tempo is easier for people who can't count music properly.

  • this band is awesome because at this point in their career, they sounded like a combo of both nirvana and the gin blossoms, if that makes sense

  • It does, and indeed

  • Your'e absoultely right.

  • @monarch243 - Hmm... how do you figure?

  • @monarch243 In what way are they a combination of both Nirvana, and Gin Blossoms?

  • @monarch243 Like, sensitive douchebags that still knew how to rock? Now they're just sensitive douchebags...

  • Haste the Day is a pretty cool band, and they did a pretty cool cover. But this one is just set in stone. Its not easy to make an amazing song better. They didn't do bad at all, but the original won't be beat by any of the bands today.

  • go check out the band Monday Rose!!

    incredible!

  • Oh yeah, by the way.

    I like Haste the Day and all.... but they don't have SHIT on this.

    When it comes to this song, FUCK Haste the Day right up their stupid asses.

  • You're all fucking stupid. Shut the fuck up.

  • fetisov, your the only bloody wanker i see on the page... what have you written?.....exactly...nothing you fuckin loser!!!!

  • i love this band!

  • haste the day's verse is way better ;s

  • Nice song. The video is gonna give me epilepsy though.

  • haste the day fucking sucks..bunch of wankers who can't write a decent song themselves.

  • theyve written plenty of songs

  • Well fetisov02, maybe you have written any better? If none, then stop using your brain to write nonsense using the keyboard because apparently, only crap comes out.

  • ok loser thanks for the advice...now go watch some more haste the day videos! their so great! never heard of them!!!

  • i prefer haste the days version too, but this one is good too =D

  • (: i'll not comment the video, but the song is gr8.^^

  • my eyes hurt after this video,haha

  • Almost human but I'll never be the same.  that's deep.

  • WTF you cant find any real goo goo dolls videos anymore wtf?

    Try finding black baloon or broadway, they are gone. WTF?

  • Actually I just saw the black balloon video :)

  • it sucks, doesnt it? go find an amv for it. amv's r weird, but if it gets the song, then alls forgiven

  • the haste the day version SUCKS!

  • Haste the day > Goo Goo Dolls

  • lmfao haste the day?

    wow.

  • Kurt Cobain Lite.

  • love♥ this song...but I think Haste the Day did wayyy better.

  • oh yeah haste the day version blows this 1 out of the water & into space ^^ but you gota give it to the goo goo dolls 4 composing a great song!

  • Fuck off scenemo boy.

  • when ever i hear this song it makes wanna tear shit up

  • wtf?haste the day play it to!

  • the haste the day version is a cover of this one

  • whenever i hear this song i picture the boards ripping up from that bridge in the movie twister when the F1 is coming at them.

  • i do 2 love teh movie "Twsiter

  • This song is fricken sweet, i just get up and start jumping and dancin around

  • lol freak!

  • Is it just me, or did John look much better back then? I don't want to say the years haven't been good to him, because he doesn't look old. He just looked...cleaner, I guess. Does anyone agree with me? And his hair! I just want to run my fingers through it!

  • duh,how can someone possibly be older looking in their younger years

  • This is the first time I've heard this song, but I love it! The lead singer (dont' know his name) is melt-your-panties beautiful.

  • your comment made me laugh! hahaha! his name is Johnny Rzeznik and he's 43! lol! x

  • Hate the Day's version is crap compared to this. The original is so much better.

  • I wouldn't use the term 'crap' haha... but I certainly like the original MUCH, much better than Hate the Day's version. Certainly much more enjoyable, at least to me...

    To each their own. =)

  • these r some ugly fuckers but great song

  • love the movie twister good movie

  • haste the day's verson is much better

  • Yeah I agree

  • agree

  • I disagree, but that's probably because I think the bands of the 21st century are kinda empty, just my opinion ^^

  • nope.

  • Plus, I forgot to mention....all that switching (the pieces where it looks chopped together, for anyone who hasn't studied TV/Video Production) makes my head spin! Wow! *gets dizzy*

  • whoa!you're absolutey right!..

  • happy birthday john rzeznik

  • Is it? I second that, then.

  • The drummer is greatttttttttttttttt..........­...

  • to me personally haste the day did a much better job but this version is still good

  • Love this song. Love them. Their music is brill

  • Slide and Iris aren't the best, agreed. Iris, in particular.

    Me, I'd have to say Sympathy is, though.

  • the lead singer jonny R. used to live 4 doors down from me,i was to young t remember him but i do know this is the song that put his band on the map

  • actually no it's not...this song never got it's recognition imo..."name" was the song that really got them known.

  • yea idk i just know thats what my dad told me. thanks for the info super i have no life goo fan!!

  • i think he looks like gavin rossdale in that vid

  • great song love it but this video just gave me a seizure luckily i didnt swallow my tongue

  • reminds me of twister :)

  • terrible background screamer for the LOSS

  • you know what i hate? is when girls are like "i love the goo!" and you ask them there fav songs by them and they say "slide and iris". ill admit i love the songs and i feel a little dead inside when i listen to it but damn theres better songs then slide and iris by the goo. chirst. what happened to the early 90s goo, superstar carwash and a boy named goo are there best albums.

  • THANKYOU.

    Gosh. Slide & Iris, while they are quite amazing,

    are rather over-rated,

    and not Goo's best songs by far !

    Finally someone agrees with me :]

  • What happened tp early 90s music. Shit sound horrible these days. OPEN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH WHEN YOU SING YOU JAGGOFF.

  • couldnt agree more

  • I TOTALLY AGREE. These "singers" out here nowadays? Such bullshit! They lipsynch, or write lyrics that don't matter, or just generally can't sing for SHIT.

  • Exactly! Or their shitty voices are totally OVER-PRODUCED in the studio! Studios refine vocals entirely too much these days...I like I few off notes or a little bit of roughness...gives the song some personality!

  • LOL....personality doesn't matter nowadays....it's basically "Shut up, sing it perfectly, or else!"

  • exactly!! i mean, look at Britney Spears. also Paris Hilton and the chicks from the hills are producing their own CDs because they are hot and rich and famous...not because they have personality, or even sing for that matter.

  • love this song so much

  • While gorgeous, John's spinning head makes me dizzy. . .

    Round n' round it goes, where the head stops. . .

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • no matter who's version you like better, goo goo dolls are the one who wrote it and it's fucking great. end of story.

  • I listened to this song over and over on my twister soundtrack.

  • Goo Goo Dolls long way down greatest rock song ever.

  • Haste the Day should have never touched this song. It's untouchable.

  • yea right, HTD did an awesome song! dont hate

  • Did they fuck! The Guys voice from Haste the day sounds ridiculous and he's ginger!!

  • haste the day is a shit band..stfu

  • fuck you narb

  • I love this song:)

    Great!

  • It's very good,you can actually hear all the instruments.The Goo Goo dolls were the shit back in the day when music was worth listening too.The music now a day's will never be like that of there era.Its OK tho because music is a cycle and i think the music of that era will come back eventually!

  • really great!! I like Goo Goo Dolls..

    great song..

  • i like haste the day version. its faster and suites the guitars. but as they say, the originals are the best.

  • the labelers would run out of tape with this band and goo goo may not go down in history and neither will the 1990s but i lived through that shit and goo helped

  • video makes me kinda dizzy, i prefer HTD's version to this. just think its more upbeat- and nice video :)

  • Agreed the song is really powerful but GGD's version is like there playing while trying to walk through quicksand it needs to be quicker.

    For everyone who likes this song try Haste the Day, their version is sweet

  • I agree with both of you. And I disagree with pretty much everything cujo said.

  • hast the days version sux

  • Ive seen the htd version and dont like it.how can you say its sweet they do a lot of screaming.the backgrounds was awful,i think i heard donald duck quack quack there.but anyway it depends on our preferred genre and doesnt mean others are not welcome to dislike it.

  • all im saying is that the song needs more energy GGD sound like somethings holding them back. HTD may not be perfect but def has more energy

    tsall im sayn

  • I Love love this song.

  • so this is the org. and htd did a cover for it?

  • do the Goo Goo Dolls originaly sing this song? i cant really remember

  • yes

  • HTD does a good cover of this song,but I still prefer the original. Main reason is,HTD's singer is just monotone through the whole song,and doesn't do a good job of getting accross the emotion and desperation of the song. Musically,I like it,but vocally,it's not even close,especially when HTD throws in the worst screaming I've ever heard for no reason in particular.

  • Goo Goo Dolls > Haste The Day.

    ANYTIME.

    And I listen to way more metal than alternative rock.

  • I like both the HTD's and GGD's version of this song, but on a cloudy day this one might put me to sleep. HTD's makes me sing to it, it's not so slow.

  • twister was an awesome movie (:

  • i love it

  • i like this song...i love the HASTE THE DAY version much much much more

  • Loving the song, hating the video, man, that type of stuff gives me a head-ache.

  • Haste The Day Long Way Down check it out

  • Great song and great band! My all time fav! But I don't care for the editing---it seriously gave me a headache! sorry!

  • awesome song...love the goos

  • I remember when I was there- but now I truly understand is it our shadows that truly make us real- youth love it but let go gracefully my friends- never be the same; but made it kinda. 1Love Buffalo! Is it the pain that makes us pure? Nothing left to say- Never be the same.

  • Whatever happen to them?

  • still going now!

  • god its horrible u can barly see them u mad it to fast ugh
