blue crane he’s not the greatest guitar player and he will admit that . He’s used to get intimidated by the amazing musicians he’d have to play with in the studio , but he kind of learned he does his own thing and that’s cool enough. I REALLY agree with u on the songwriting tho! I remember the first time Name came on the radio. I was driving and had to pull over. It still hits me the same way!
I agree 100% things will never be that way again. From the music, movies, wrestling, renting videos. Very lucky to grow up in that time. Miss it daily.
I’m still listening to it… crying in bed as I listen to it as a 43 year old woman. So many emotions around this song. This year. This time in history. I ache for that. 💧💔
I was 12 when this aired and going through preteenage angst the words just spoke the truth. Fast forward I'm now 40 and the angst is gone but the words are still so deep it gives me chills. Goo Goo dolls are the most underrated band
Every song by them that has hit the radio, has been nothing short of perfect. I really can;t say that for most bands that I listen to. Goo Goo Dolls are the only ones that can make a song and make it stick in the mainstream world! Mainstream popularity sucks, but these guys just have that unexplainable zing.
So much nostalgia for the 90’s. I’m sure everyone feels that way for the decade they were growing up in from a child to a teen. Obviously the 90’s were not perfect by any means, but when you’re young and you’re oblivious to the evil of the world and even what’s going on past your couple blocks of your neighborhood, life is so good. When you get older, the longing for that feeling again that you will never have again sucks! But man I loved this band!!
I'd greatly appreciate it if some Goo Goo fans would view my acoustic piano & vocal tribute version of NAME, which you can find by clicking on my channel. Thanks and please pardon the self promo.
@@pattonloop6911 are you not very familiar with 90's music? heres a few Collective Soul - December Collective Soul - World I Know Toad The Wet Sprocket - Somethings Always Wrong Gin Blossoms - Found Out About You Counting Crows - Mr Jones
You'd be very hard pressed to find a band that can do a live performance this well today in any genre. I love music and there are many great songs but this is probably my favorite song of all time.
@@HarrisonHollersIt may be the sound of all the same-drone notes from Johnny’s guitar, per the unusual tuning. It rather has that extreme doubling effect.
An amazing song from the greatest musical era of all time. Everything was great in the 90's. I miss my teen years a lot listening to perfection like this
I heard this song on the movie angus in the theater 20+ years ago when I was a young teen. I'm teaching my kids how to play it on guitar and bass now. This song is simple to play but so amazing.
I just love this band, I remember when Name released. He is an amazing song writer and his guitar skills are mad! To me your songs are real....and I know you get it....they have always spoke to me.
3 piece band yet the sound is so solid! john’s distintive voice sounds a trademark of Goo. Goos music and lyrics are inspirational most likely in their latter albums. Rock and Roll music is dead when the Earth reached its millenium. 90’s was the last wave of best music and I considered the golden age of music in terms of varieties of genres. Mainstream, underground or commercial music it still great for the ears. long live the 90’s and Goo👌👌👌
MANY THANKS for posting this...because I remember watching this the evening it aired, and never forgot it as they dove into the EggNog! Great 90's memory from David Letterman.
This is your brain , this is your brain on eggnog , any questions ? :) but seriously best live performance iv'e seen of this song ! good memories of 1995 ....doesn't seem like 20 years ago, hearing it again brings u like right back to "95"....good times !!
I live in Buffalo and one day my older brother told me that the Goo Goo Dolls had a video on MTV.....a few days later I saw it and knew the song was going to be huge....Johnny and I had the same hair and I ran into him at the Hard Rock one day and accused him of stealing my look...
This is my favorite song of all time. When I'm on youtube looking for "Name" videos I usually come back to this version...maybe my favorite. Seen the Goos 15 times and their music has a way of getting to me (in a good way).
And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Get lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame But if you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell em your name Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there Did you get to be a star And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are You grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell em your name I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are come back down And I won't tell me your name
Thanks for the upload! If you haven't yet, please go see GGD live. You won't regret it. And check out their more recent releases. Side note: The "mean people suck" sticker is so 90s. Love it.
these guys were one live band! I love all of their music from the HMU-DUTG era, but this is one of my all-time favorites they need to play this on the radio more where I live. . .
Johnny Rzeznik is most underrated I think. His voice is great and he's a helluva good guitar player and songwriter. One of the best I think.
I agree but who is playing the main guitar in this though lol?
blue crane he’s not the greatest guitar player and he will admit that . He’s used to get intimidated by the amazing musicians he’d have to play with in the studio , but he kind of learned he does his own thing and that’s cool enough. I REALLY agree with u on the songwriting tho! I remember the first time Name came on the radio. I was driving and had to pull over. It still hits me the same way!
An underated band definitely, 1993-2002 they were one of the top five bands in the world undoubtedly
Underrated guitarist, the guitar parts he writes are fantastic
@@bendover9663 nooooooo.....top 20 yes but 5 no
This song gives me nostalgia.
that's the word i was looking for...
this is their best song...one of my favorites of all time
I miss the 90's everything from music to pro wrestling was amazing.
Fuck yeah
I agree 100% things will never be that way again. From the music, movies, wrestling, renting videos. Very lucky to grow up in that time. Miss it daily.
facts!
I hear ya! I was fortunate to be in junior high, high school, and college all throughout the 90s. An epic decade for all music genres!
@@swoopdaddy3143 Yeah! Was the last great decade for rock. 😩😩😩 Also miss my baggy jeans and flannel shirts!
scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far.
This still gets play almost everyday 2023 on my iPhone.
Still playing this almost every day in my car. On CD, though!
@@matti72033 me too. 💿
1995 wow. almost 25 years later, still an amazing song. Kind of makes me sad, was a favorite when I was younger. Shit I'm getting old
Dang I feel young 😂 cause I'm like one of the only 13 year olds here
Almost 30 now..
2024. I'm with you Eric... those 90's were the best. GGD were so great. Timeless.
@@bandmemberedits2131 You got good taste in music.
I’m still listening to it… crying in bed as I listen to it as a 43 year old woman. So many emotions around this song. This year. This time in history. I ache for that. 💧💔
One of the most chilled and soulful tracks, then they just go nuts at the end, love it
I was 12 when this aired and going through preteenage angst the words just spoke the truth. Fast forward I'm now 40 and the angst is gone but the words are still so deep it gives me chills. Goo Goo dolls are the most underrated band
Im 48 and I approve this. However, the songs now are so deep for so many more reasons for me.
@@trncejnkeyep 48
The warmth and crispnesss of the sound from his tuning of his guitar is unreal
Yep.
Every song by them that has hit the radio, has been nothing short of perfect. I really can;t say that for most bands that I listen to. Goo Goo Dolls are the only ones that can make a song and make it stick in the mainstream world! Mainstream popularity sucks, but these guys just have that unexplainable zing.
Desolate Soul Johnny R and all his million alternate tunings lol. I love it!
A great performance, and perfectly 90s with the ripped jeans and Letterman and the eggnog, haha.
The song is timeless!
Why when I come and listen to a 90's song on RUclips it makes me miss so much the great artist of the 90's. Only if we had a time machine!
We were spoiled, we didn't know we had it so good.
Masterpiece. I still remember hearing on the radio when I was a teenager & just falling in love with the words.
I was 8 years old when this aired. I've loved Goo Goo Dolls since.
"and don't it make it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?" one of the best pop lyrics of all time.
or...I think about you all the time, but I dont need the same.
The lyrics aren't pop

But man I loved this band!!
I grew up on this song.. Any decade any venue every performance it still hits home.... "Sure I think about ya all the time" Legend!!!
The days when jeans with holes in them were homemade. 90s nostalgia is running deep tonight.
Now you pay 100 bucks for pre cut ones.
@@seanmcmaster9484 WHAT???
Mitch Hedberg was truly versatile.
Lol!
The ending is hilariously priceless.
Easily their best song.
Iconic 90's song and a true performance of it.

need more music like this... whos got suggestions?
@@pattonloop6911 are you not very familiar with 90's music? heres a few
Collective Soul - December
Collective Soul - World I Know
Toad The Wet Sprocket - Somethings Always Wrong
Gin Blossoms - Found Out About You
Counting Crows - Mr Jones
My all time favourite song. The performance in Buffalo, 2004 is peerless.
its one of their best.. but not thee best goo goo dolls hit.. "slide", "sympathy", "iris", "black balloon" is their top hits
You'd be very hard pressed to find a band that can do a live performance this well today in any genre. I love music and there are many great songs but this is probably my favorite song of all time.
Yes, flawless on this live version.
Maybe not my favorite but in my top 10.
Is this live? Is there a second guitar playing?
@@HarrisonHollersIt may be the sound of all the same-drone notes from Johnny’s guitar, per the unusual tuning. It rather has that extreme doubling effect.
I love his voice. He's also very intelligent.
He's also so Good Looking! Ooo Lala
Hol up!
Was that Geena Davis at the beginning??
This band is underrated!! Saw them last night for the second time amazing live great songs!! Love them!
I love the guitar tuning in this
One of the coolest things to ever happen in 90s America: Seeing David and the Goo Goo Dolls together on TV.
An amazing song from the greatest musical era of all time. Everything was great in the 90's. I miss my teen years a lot listening to perfection like this
Hell yeah!
John and Robbie are a great team. Couldn't replace either one of them.
I heard this song on the movie angus in the theater 20+ years ago when I was a young teen. I'm teaching my kids how to play it on guitar and bass now. This song is simple to play but so amazing.
If you want a tuning that sounds like there's 2 guitars going on at once........the tuning for this song is the way to go
seriously..it sounds like a 12 string 😮
What's the tuning??
@@michaelritchie3689DAEAEE
I think the D String is tuned by like +40. It will definitely shorten your string's lifespan by a long mile.@@michaelritchie3689
@@michaelritchie3689DAEDEE
Early Johnny Rzeznik may be the sexiest man I have ever seen. lol
Timothy Donaghue ...it's a close second for me...
Timothy Donaghue he was actually 30 years old here believe it or not
As a straight man, even I have to agree lol.
Agree. I don't know what he has done til his face but I wish he hadn't. He was beautiful.
One of the most beautiful song I've heard in my life.
An iconic voice that hasn't aged a day
Damn near 20 years ago, still a great song. Wasn't one of my favorite bands but one of my all time favorites songs.
Almost 30 now, and it's still such a great song on a phenomenal album.
This is the song that really started it all for the goo goo dolls, still love it to this day!
He's amazing 😊🤩🤩🤩 his music and he's f. Ing Hot 🔥🔥🔥
I just love this band, I remember when Name released. He is an amazing song writer and his guitar skills are mad! To me your songs are real....and I know you get it....they have always spoke to me.
One of the best live performances of all time

long live the 90’s and Goo👌👌👌
My first reaction was, "Man, Rzeznik looks so young" but then it hit me that it was from 20 years ago :/
Gloveberg what’s even better was he was 30 here but he looked 20
Born in ‘65
@@Angie_bae he's only 29 years old... depends on what month the show aired this TV performance of the band
@@Angie_bae yes...his birthday was December 5, 1965
He’s got so much Botox in his face now I’m not sure how making that mistake is even possible😂😂
Watching this on new years eve in 2022. Just reminiscing how good the 90s were.
So nostalgic. I was 14 when I first this song back in the 90s. How time flies.
The chords, the first time I heard it, made me quiver. Now, years later, the lyrics are incredible!
Words don't properly describe how much I fucking love the sound of this song. Definition of timeless🔥👌
Something about that riff... cling cling clng clang... it sounds like my chilhood all over again. That guitar just rings
As a songwriter...his honest advice and reflection rings true as did in the past and into the future...thanks for your courage sir.
there are just as good live as on the cds. This band is the best. I love this song!
MANY THANKS for posting this...because I remember watching this the evening it aired, and never forgot it as they dove into the EggNog! Great 90's memory from David Letterman.
Letterman always had the best bands on first, before anyone else. Guy truly loved the music he had on the show.
PHYSICALLY SICK WITH NOSTALGIA 🖤😭
We love the Goo Goo Dolls!
I cant believe this kind of music became old , what a shame this world just went down the drains
Absolutely.
For a trio, I love the full sound from John’s guitar. Sounds like there should be 5 dudes.
Pure gold. Keep safe you all. 🔥
This is your brain , this is your brain on eggnog , any questions ? :) but seriously best live performance iv'e seen of this song ! good memories of 1995 ....doesn't seem like 20 years ago, hearing it again brings u like right back to "95"....good times !!
Still listening in 2015 🙌🏼

Jay Blue and 2017 too :)

Johnny is an underrated guitar player. Can't believe they jumped in eggnog

He's supposed to look like a vampire. When I talked to him.
very nice. one of my all time fav GGD song. the other one is long way down. can't believe after 20years, this song is still awesome.
love your profile pic and comment.
Love this song!! Never. Gets. Old.
I was in 6th grade when this song came out...
❤
This is my favorite song of all time. When I'm on youtube looking for "Name" videos I usually come back to this version...maybe my favorite. Seen the Goos 15 times and their music has a way of getting to me (in a good way).
Manchester 2020, listen to that one.
I love open tuning. It’s so awesome. Great song
I 🤍 this Song. Dreamy. Nostalgic. ✨🦋90’s☮️🕊️ I Love it so Much. Wholesome
Damn I miss the 90s
I love this song and am so thankful for this video - awesomeness
Ps. I think he has beautiful hair here.
YOU HELD THE MICH OUT TO ME IN THIS YEAR IN PORTLAND MAINE. THANK YOU ALWAYS. LOVE LOVE...
That freaking eggnog ending at the end is so wholesome lmboo
I have goosebumps
懐かしいです。今でも好きです。
How is John and Goo Goo dolls underrated? They have been nominated for 4 grammy awards.
His guitar sounds amazing!!
This song was the best Goo Goo Dolls song for many reasons
Bass player going HARD
Robbie was always awesome. Happy 4th.
I was 17 when this came out. It meant a lot then, means even more now.
Loved seeing this one great performance LOVE the Goo Goo Dolls seen many times live and kill it every time one of my favorite bands
What amazing music sounds like..
By far the best band ever!!!!
One of my Favvv Songs of ALL Time✨🤍
1995 was awesome!! i miss it so bad its sad :(
If you Younger then 20 and this is one of your favorite bands you one of the greats
Thanks for posting this. Funny as hell.
you're welcome. ^^
Funny?
+Karl the eggnog
Outstanding performance!
Beautiful song.
Best version! Better then the official video
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there did you get to be a star loveeeeee Name love my googoodolls!!! Googoodolls rock!!! Younguns!!!!
I remember Letterman at his best- with the hottest bands every night- his laugh is the best!!
Great music was made in the 90’s and early 2000’s
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell me your name
Who's the actress on set with Dave? Beetlejuice
