Who is Goo Goo Dolls
Let Love In (2005–2007)[edit] In 2006, the Goo Goo Dolls marked their 20th anniversary with their new album Let Love In, which included the studio recording of "Give a Little Bit" as well as other top 10 radio singles "Better Days", "Stay with You", and "Let Love In". With their third consecutive single ("Let Love In") from the album, the Goo Goo Dolls hit a record 12 top 10 hits in Adult Top 40 history; upon the release of "Before It's Too Late", that total increased to 13.[citation needed] Goo Goo Dolls performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 8, 2007, and at The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 22, 2007.[28] On June 27, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls performed to a sold-out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The entire concert was released as a DVD on the limited edition version of their 2008 release, Vol.2.[citation needed] Though the album has not (as of 2007) been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), various music sites have asserted that it has gone gold.[29] Greatest hits albums (2007–2008)[edit] The band performing "Slide" in 2007 On November 13, 2007, the Goo Goo Dolls released a greatest hits album entitled Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles, which includes a new version of "Name" recorded and mixed by Paul David Hager, and a remix of "Feel the Silence" by Michael Brauer.[30] The band performed "Better Days" and "Stay With You" at the halftime of the Detroit Lions' 2007 Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field, which focused on the United Way and the NFL's commitment to youth health and fitness.[31] Something for the Rest of Us (2008–2010)[edit] The Goo Goo Dolls announced recording sessions for a new album, on their official website, unrelated to their Volume Two in 2008.[32] In addition, the band performed as part of the O2 Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park in the summer of 2008.[33] Something for the Rest of Us was released on August 31, 2010.[34][better source needed] While the album was full of the pop-rock that has sustained the band for decades, lead singer/guitarist Rzeznik's songwriting took on a more somber, serious tone.[35] Something for the Rest of Us included the single "Home", which extended the band's record to 14 top ten hits at the Hot AC radio format (more than any other artist in the history of that format).[36] The band performed a live mini-concert at the Apple Store in Manhattan, New York on December 2, 2010.[37] Later career (2010–present)[edit] Magnetic and Malinin's departure (2010–2015)[edit] The album Magnetic was released on June 11, 2013[38] and debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. On July 19, 2013, the band released the second single off of Magnetic, "Come to Me".[39] In December 2013, Mike Malinin announced his departure from the band.[40] In November 2014, Malinin sued the band for wrongful termination, claiming that he was fired after requesting paternity leave.[41][42] The Goo Goo Dolls contributed to the soundtrack of the broadway musical Finding Neverland in 2015. The soundtrack, released June 9, 2015, contained the song "If the World Turned Upside Down".[43] Boxes, 20th anniversary of A Boy Named Goo and touring (2015–2017)[edit] The band spent the majority of 2015 in the studio writing and recording their eleventh studio album, Boxes, at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington. The album was released on May 6, 2016.[citation needed] The Goo Goo Dolls celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of A Boy Named Goo by releasing a special edition of the album on November 27, 2015.[44][45] Goo Goo Dolls released an exclusive vinyl box set for Record Store Day on April 22, 2017, entitled Pick Pockets, Petty Thieves, and Tiny Victories (1987–1995).[46][better source needed] You Should Be Happy, Miracle Pill, and Christmas album (2017–2021)[edit] On May 12, 2017, Goo Goo Dolls released a five-song EP entitled You Should Be Happy. In support of the EP, the band toured throughout the summer of 2017 on the "Long Way Home" tour with Phillip Phillips.[47] With 2018 marking the 20th anniversary of Dizzy Up the Girl, the band embarked on a commemorative tour where they performed the album in its entirety. Also in 2018, the band released two live albums: The Audience is This Way in June, and The Audience is That Way in November.[citation needed] At the beginning of 2019, the Goo Goo Dolls announced that they were working on a twelfth studio album. On record store day (April 13, 2019), a vinyl box limited to 1000 copies under the name Topography was released.[citation needed] On August 24, 2020, the band announced its first Christmas album: It's Christmas All Over, which was released on October 30. Later that year, Rzeznik sat down with Atwood Magazine to discuss the band's 35th anniversary.[25] In May 2021, the band announced that Rarities, a double compilation featuring rare and unheard songs spanning from 1995 to 2007, would be released on June 25, 2021.[48] Chaos in Bloom (2022–present)[edit] In a June 2021 interview published on YouTube, singer John Rzeznik revealed that the band was working on their 14th studio album, which would be released sometime in 2022. When asked about how the album differs from the band's previous work, Rzeznik claimed that the band had decided to approach both writing and recording in an alternative way. Specifically, the band used earlier forms of production which they utilized prior to the digital era in the music industry.[49][50] In a November 2021 Spin interview, Rzeznik stated that he produced most of the album himself. He added that the album would sound more experimental than the band's past releases, hinting that he did not believe it would receive much radio airplay.[51] It was later confirmed that the album was entirely produced by Rzeznik.[52] On June 27, 2022, the band officially announced on their Facebook page the title of their new album, Chaos in Bloom, as well as the first single off it, "Yeah, I Like You". The latter premiered on July 1, 2022.[53] In February 2023, Goo Goo Dolls announced their North America tour.[54] Band members[edit] .mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}} Current members John Rzeznik – guitar (1986–present), lead and backing vocals (1990–present), backing and lead vocals (1986–1990), keyboards (2008–2010) Robby Takac – bass (1986–present), backing and lead vocals (1990–present), lead and backing vocals (1986–1990), guitar (2016) Current touring musicians Brad Fernquist – guitar, mandolin, backing vocals (2006–present) Craig Macintyre – drums, percussion (2014–present) Jim McGorman – keyboards, guitar, backing vocals (2018–present) Former members George Tutuska – drums, percussion (1986–1995), vocals (1990) Mike Malinin – drums, percussion (1995–2013) Former touring musicians Lance Diamond – guest vocals (1986–2014; died 2015) Nathan December – guitar, mandolin, backing vocals (1998–2000) Dave Schulz – keyboards, backing vocals (1998–2000) Jason Freese – keyboards, accordion, saxophone, backing vocals (2001–2004) Greg Suran – guitar, mandolin, percussion, backing vocals (2002–2006) Paul Gordon – keyboards, backing vocals (2004–2006; died 2016) Korel Tunador – keyboards, guitar, saxophone, backing vocals (2006–2009, 2009–2018) Scott Eric Olivier – keyboards, guitar, backing vocals (2009) Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. – drums, percussion (2013–2014) Timeline[edit] Discography[edit] .mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}Main article: Goo Goo Dolls discography Studio albums Goo Goo Dolls (1987)[55] Jed (1989) Hold Me Up (1990) Superstar Car Wash (1993) A Boy Named Goo (1995) Dizzy Up the Girl (1998) Gutterflower (2002) Let Love In (2006) Something for the Rest of Us (2010) Magnetic (2013) Boxes (2016) Miracle Pill (2019) It's Christmas All Over (2020) Chaos in Bloom (2022) Accolades, awards, and nominations[edit] "Iris", the band's 1998 hit single, enjoyed critical acclaim. At the 41st Grammy Awards, "Iris" received nominations for "Record of the Year" and "Pop Performance by a Duo or Group". The song also garnered John Rzeznik a "Song of the Year" nomination.[56] The song was ranked at number 39 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest pop songs.[57] In October 2012, "Iris" was ranked number one on Billboard's "Top 100 Pop Songs 1992–2012" chart, which ranked the top songs of the first 20 years of the Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs chart. The list also featured the Goo Goo Dolls' hits "Slide", ranking at number nine, and "Name" at number 24. The Goo Goo Dolls are the only musicians to have three songs on the list, two breaking the top 10 and all three falling within the top 25. They are also the only musicians that have back to back singles (Iris, 1998 and Slide, 1999) featured on the list.[58] Billboard Music Awards[edit] .mw-parser-output .awards-table td:last-child{text-align:center} Year Nominee / work Award Result 1995 "Name" Top Modern Rock Track Nominated 1998 "Iris" Top Hot 100 Airplay Track Nominated Top Adult Top 40 Track Nominated Themselves Top Adult Top 40 Artist Nominated 1999 Won Top Hot Top 40 Artist Won Top Hot 100 Singles Artist Nominated Top Hot 100 Singles Artist – Duo/Group Nominated "Slide" Top Hot 100 Airplay Track Nominated Top Hot Top 40 Track Won Top Adult Top 40 Track Won Other awards[edit] Year Awards Work Category Result 1998 Grammy Awards "Iris" Song of the Year (John Rzeznik) Nominated Record of the Year Nominated Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals Nominated MTV Video Music Awards Best Video from a Film Nominated Billboard Music Video Awards Pop Clip of the Year Nominated 1999 MTV Movie Awards Best Song from a Movie Nominated Radio Music Awards Song of the Year – Adult Hit Radio Won Online Music Awards Themselves Favorite Rock Group[59] Nominated Teen Choice Awards Choice Music Group Nominated 2000 Choice Music: Rock Group Nominated Radio Music Awards Artist of the Year – Alternative/Pop Radio Won ASCAP Pop Awards "Slide" Song of the Year Won Grammy Awards "Black Balloon" Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals Nominated 2001 ASCAP Pop Awards Most Performed Songs Won "Slide" Won 2003 "Here Is Gone" Won 2005 Radio Music Awards Themselves Artist of the Year – Adult Hit Radio Won "Give a Little Bit" Song of the Year – Adult Hit Radio Nominated 2007 ASCAP Pop Awards "Better Days" Most Performed Song Won 2008 The Average Lives of Students Music Awards Themselves Excellence Award Won Songwriters Hall of Fame John Rzeznik Hal David Starlight Award Won 2013 Guitar Center RockWalk Hall of Fame Themselves RockWalk Hall of Fame Won References[edit] .mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman} ^ .mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}"Goo Goo Dolls: The Cavalier Daily article".
