Add 'em to your lists!5/21/00 - Yesterday at the DC101 cookoff, the Goos were having shoes and other items thrown onto the stage and hitting them while they were performing. Halfway through Iris, they had had enough.
They dropped their instruments and walked off the stage enangered by the events which had taken place. Here's a review of a fan that attended:Yesterday at the Chili Cookout, I was waiting in like at 10 AM to get in,and get to the front of the stage. Although the Goo's didn't go on until 4,I got there and was crushed, trampled, and much more for the 5 hours untilRobby, John, and Mike took the stage. Unfortunately, some a.holes startedthrowing assorted items on stage, and got the Goo's mad.
After cutting like6 songs out of the setlist, right in the middle of Iris, a shoe was thrownonstage, and Johnny said 'goodnight' and the Goo's left the stage. I was sopissed because a handful of people ruined what will probably be my onlychance to see the Goo's up close like that. I would personally like toapoligize to the Goo Goo Dolls for the people who threw stuff.
The Goo's didthe right thing, looking out for themselves. People like that shouldn't evenbe allowed in to shows. I hope I get another chance to the the Goo's upclose, and not have it cut short from a.holes like that.We can only hope that the Goos realize that those weren't their real fans out there that evening and that the sequence of events that occurred last night won't have any lasting effects on them.Today I added Helena to the.

The difference is, they enjoy the mainstreaming of their music and respond with one of their catchiest sets of songs. There's nothing new on the record apart from their willingness to polish their music so it reaches the widest audience.
That will alienate whatever hardcore followers they have left, but that attitude will likely please anyone brought aboard with ' and 'Iris'.' Track listing All tracks are written by, except where noted. January Friend'2:465.' Bullet Proof'4:397.'
