Biography

Many people remember the ‘80s as a decade when pop culture seemed to be ruled by Madonna’s latest fashion statement, Duran Duran’s early boy band appeal, and the apparently endless list of hair metal bands that, even at the time, seemed impossible to tell apart.

However, there was something else going on in the ‘80’s that was a quiet continuation of the alternative scene that broke in England in… Read more in Amazon's Goo Goo Dolls Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The orchestral-pop hit "Iris" (from the soundtrack to City of Angels) proved the Goo Goo Dolls were no one-hit wonder with 1995's "Name." One listen to "Slide," the crafty, yearning second track off their sixth release, suggests the streak continues for Buffalo's finest. Not surprisingly, aspects that make the aforementioned songs memorable--warm, acoustic stylings; strings; heartrending hooks--also make Dizzy come alive elsewhere. Ultimately, the effort documents the band's continued migration from indie rock toward the mainstream. Thus, while "Slide" and the reprise of the wondrous "Iris" might shine for weeks (or even years) of repeated listens, attempts to keep alive the group's power-trio past often have a been-there/done-that feel. --Neal Weiss

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Goo Listener, January 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dizzy Up the Girl (Audio CD)
I first heard of The Goo Goo Dolls on the radio with their songs "Name", "Iris", "Slide" and "Black Balloon". I am not one to run out and buy the latest and greatest CD's. I pick my collection out very carefully. The week before Christmas 99, I saw John Rzeznik host VH1's "The List" and he seemed really cool. So the Sunday before Christmas, I bought "Dizzy Up The Girl". I couldn't wait to hear it. The first song, "Dizzy", played and I thought, oh know, what did I buy, but then I listened and heard the lyrics to all of the songs. Nothing else has been in my CD player since. I don't even listen to the radio while in my car, just this CD for three weeks straight. I haven't listened to a band like this since the Eagles back in the early 80's.

John Rzeznik, your songs inspire me in ways that words can't describe. You write from your heart and soul and that's what writing should be all about. My favorite is "Acoustic #3". This is my only CD where I don't skip one song. I love them all.

Thank you, Johnny, Robby and Mike for making such great music and for sharing it with the rest of the world.

I definitely recommend this CD for any music lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this CD, January 3, 2000
This review is from: Dizzy Up the Girl (Audio CD)
Wow. I have to say, I became a fan of Goo Goo Dolls with Iris. I'd heard Name on the radio when it came out but didn't think anything more of it. Then I heard Iris. It is such a beautiful song that captures the movie perfectly--I never got tired of hearing it. This is my first Goo Goo Dolls CD purchase and I love it. I'd give it 5 stars but for the fact that Robbie's songs are not my cup of tea (sorry). It's interesting, though, to hear how different his style is from John's. I bought Hold Me Up and it's just not a sound that I enjoy.

So what if they've gone mainstream with DUTG! I am one of millions who wouldn't have heard their music otherwise and might not have given them a second listen. I'm looking forward to their next record because it's very clear their sound is evolving (as it should) and I look forward to where they're going next, though I think I'm going to buy A Boy Named Goo. Some of my favorite songs include Dizzy, Black Balloon, and the unbelievably sad Acoustic #3. I don't know from where in his heart John was writing that one but I wanted to put my arms around him and hug him. It's a wonderful song and if you don't buy the CD, you'll never get to hear it. I think we've all been in that place from which it was written. You're a great songwriter, John.

5.0 out of 5 stars dreamaway, December 26, 1999
This review is from: Dizzy Up the Girl (Audio CD)
If John's voice and lyrics didn't completely captivate you on previous goo albums, give them the second chance that they deserve! With their new drummer Mike in tow, John and Robby have again produced an album full of feeling and great passion. If you already own other CDs by this group, this is a must-have-you can see the way that they have changed as a band since A Boy Named Goo. Not only are the words more "deep" unforgetable theme from that movie "City of Angels"; "Black Balloon", and "Slide", all three of which everyone has heard about twenty million times on the radio! Other great songs on this album are "Amigone"(even though Robby's voice will nevre compare to John's) and "Bullet Proof", reminicent of days with many guitars. On a softer note, "Acoustic #3" is a beautiful song. THIS IS AN AWESOME ALBUM WITH GREAT SONGS!

This is one of the few albums that i can play over and over by any artist. i don't find robby's voice obnoxious, and actually like it. you have to give him credit, going from the lead singer to basically a back-up, with john the center of attention all the time (understandibly). and not to mention mike, the drummer, who many people still refer to as 'george'...

This cd is a great effort from john, robby, and mike. they have come a long way from the sex maggots. john writes great lyrics that actually mean something, he and robby sing their hearts out. and mike plays the drums, a very important part that people rarely notice, but without him, they would sink.

Play this cd straight through once. then listen to the songs that you liked. then go back and listen to the songs you thought you hated. you will really be suprised how much you may have misjudged these guys thefirst time around.
