Goo Goo Dolls
 
Does anyone here listen to Goo Goo Dolls??? I can safely safely that Iris is one of my all time favorite good listening songs. I havn't gotten the new album- yet...holding out for a possible present from my parents!!!

Like I said, anyone else???

SATX*APhi 05-06-2003 06:46 PM

I absolutely love their music!! It's just so clean sounding, can't really explain it. The guitar doesn't drown our the lyrics.

Schmeer 05-06-2003 06:55 PM

do you have their newer CD---Gutterflower?? I havn't gotten it yet...like I said...but if I don't get it as a gift soon, I will have to go and splurge.

BTW- Johnny Rzeznik is hot!!!

Schmeer, is it coincidence that "Iris" is your favorite song of the Goo Goo Dolls? ;) :D

FiReKraCkEr 05-06-2003 07:49 PM

Edit cause I just realized, I posted in the wrong forum...sorry!!

But I do absolutely love the Goo Goo Dolls!

*lol* Maybe it's fate!

It's so funny that you started this thread, Scheemer. I love the goo goo dolls and am destined to marry Johnny Rezeznik.

I think Iris has to be one of my favorite songs by them and gutterflower is awesome, though I like their first album better...

Anyways, Johnny R is auctioning off that superhot jacket he wore during the Superbowl in eBay. All of the band members autographed it an all....hmmm.... you guys should check it out:

I have their album A boy named Goo. I loved Name so much my aunt hid the cd because I played it so much

Jaggergirl 05-07-2003 03:22 PM

$1375 holy crap! :eek:

I wish I had that kind of money to burn on an autographed jacket. That is really sweet. I wonder if it'll end up in a hard rock cafe somehwere?

Does Buffalo, NY have a Hard Rock Cafe?

smiley21 05-07-2003 04:16 PM

'name' and 'iris' are two of the greatest songs of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMO

U.N. Jefferson 05-08-2003 06:50 PM

man that jacket is sweet... that thing would look a lot better on my wall then in some hard rock... i wonder if i could get a student loan to get that and then right it off as some sort of tax deduction..... or maybe just a grant for charity work...

Betarulz! 05-09-2003 04:38 AM

There was a time that Goo Goo Dolls was the "best band you;'ve never heard of" but that was in the "A Boy named goo" days...since then they ahave turned into lamer versions of the Gin Blossoms, singing very sappy, un creative songs. After that "City of Angles" song they turned in to one of the sappiest bands in the world...and I now refused to listen to any of theri music after "A Boy named goo".

DWAlphaGam 05-09-2003 09:24 AM

"Iris" is my and my boyfriend's song. We saw GGD open up for BonJovi a couple of months ago, and they were great! It was so cool seeing them play our song live and in person. :)

No, but there is one bout 30 minutes away at Niagara Falls. BTW, I saw Goo Goo Dolls at a bar for $5. Beat that everybody!!!!

U.N. Jefferson 05-09-2003 01:13 PM

ok, so i looked in to it... no dice on eihter the student loan, or the grant. (bs if you ask me) ..... so now i am thinking i will just get the unsigned version of the jacket.... i am pretty sure it cost less than $1,875 (which is what the jacket is going for right now btw)

sigirl 05-12-2003 12:01 PM

Sorry to hear that you're genious student loan/grant idea didn't work out... i was really hoping that it would come through for you.

The jacket's at $2000! Can you believe it? I talked to a few of my sisters, they're trying to raise money to put up on a bid for it some time tommorow...it would look so cool in our house...

Oh My Gosh.....definaately did not even put 2 and 2 together....a VERY weird conincidence.....


**running off to my music collection to see if another favorite song has something to do with blue**

Schmeer 05-12-2003 12:48 PM

whoa...so i just got back here after being absent for a bit...a little unexpected vacay for me....this auction thing does sound pretty cool. sadly, i cannot afford to do that, but still. very nice indeed. it makes the goo goo dolls that much more of a band whom i will listen to knowing that they are guys who will donate a jacket to a good cause- such as Levi's auctioning it off.

straightBOS 05-12-2003 01:09 PM

YAY! A Goo Thread!!!!
 
Love, the Goo Goo Dolls, got all of the recordings, even the first one when they were a punk band. Like the new stuff better though.

Love "Iris" and "Big Machine". Never saw them in concert though. Must put that on my schedule.

U.N. Jefferson 05-12-2003 06:29 PM

i bet they will be coming to somewhere near you soon BOS. I heard that they are playing in charlotte NC soon, so i bet they will play somewhere in Va. I hope so, i will be wearing my new jean jacket there, that is for sure.

sigirl 05-13-2003 10:41 AM

Iris and Name are my favorites by the Goos...i prefer their earlier stuff to their newer stuff.

Anyways...bc I couldn't personally afford to buy the jacket myself, I was going to buy one and then have the band sign it when i see them in concert this summer

BUT THEN

i come to find out, it's one of a kind...Levi's made this one especially for Johnny....

my life is over :(

Don't Fret....I am sure you can find something else to tide you over.....


There has got to be some other Goo 'stuff' out there

but I do have to admit...that jacket would have been very nice to have

thats cool about your house trying to get involved in something that big- our community service projects tended to be more locally oriented with car washes and hospital services, but helping out a big cause with Levi's and Goo Goo Dolls would have been cool!
