I love the Goo Goo Dolls. However, the reason I am giving this 1 star is because all the music videos are not on here which is pure laziness. What's missing you ask? Better Days and Give a little bit. Two music videos I like. Why would this happen? It makes no sense. I hate when there is a release where its not complete. Also, on their website there was listed a full live performance. What happened? It was taken down and when I got the DVD it only had six tracks from Red Rocks? They could have easily fit the entire concert with all the music videos. This could have been a fantastic release. Their live cd from a few years ago was great, so I expected more from this release. Very disappointed certain music videos were left off and the entire concert wasn't put on here when it could have fitted. We expect more Goo Goo Dolls!

Average music, great video collection September 10, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

Goo Goo Dolls released most of their hits on "Greatest Hits: Vol. 1," leaving the not quite so great hits for "Vol. 2," with some 80s cover songs and a demo of "Iris." The collection of videos on disc two is incredible, but after a while, I got tired of all the Goo Goo.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Goo Goo Dolls. Even if radio stations don't play their really great hits ("Black Balloon") as much as they really should, the Goo Goo Dolls are a very good pop rock band. However, if anyone can imagine how nauseated they were with hearing "Iris" twenty million times on the station, they have yet to listen to the overdose of dramatic pop on "Vol. 2." All the Goo Goo Dolls' videos are on disc two, so everyone can now get their daily music video fix of John Rzeznik with this double-disc album.

And if that wasn't enough, the Goo Goo Dolls even added a video of five songs from their concert at Red Rocks, Colorado. And they also snuck in a performance of "Slide" in there as well. This is an excellent collection of goodies and treats from the band.

But be warned, do not try to listen to all the videos in one day. Believe me, I tried, and by the end, I didn't want to hear anymore of those pop hooks again.

But the Goo Goo Dolls are still a very good band. One especially good reason to get this album is for the obscure song from the "Batman and Robin" soundtrack, "Lazy Eye." This is the Goo Goo Dolls at their best, with the loudest and edgiest performance that would even make Billy Corgan proud.

And the Goo Goo Dolls play some great smashing punk renditions of 80s songs, such as "Slave Girl" by the Lime Spiders and "Don't Change" by INXS.

So even though I got tired of it, the Goo Goo Dolls' fans will snatch this collection from music stores (or amazon) immediately. And I just can't resist watching the video of "Black Balloon" over and over again.

Greatest Hits Vol. 11 ? August 31, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a collection of unreleased,demos,B-sides,soundtracks, and fan favorites.
This Collection is great. Unlike volume 1 which is just their top 40 hits. It has tracks from all their releases. "Torn Apart", "No Way Out", "I'm Awake Now" and "String of Lies" are my goo songs on this record.
Their version of Tom Petty's "American Girl" is great too.
Then you got the DVD which has all their music videos and a live performance.
Since the Goo Goo Dolls are past their prime they should focus on reissuing and remastering their old records, since their first 3 records have bad sound and all almost impossible to find.

great dvd not so hot cd August 25, 2008
3 out of 8 found this review helpful

the dvd is a great history of the goo with so many great songs,however, the cd is on the weak side.the song selection is fair at best, instead of containing some of the album tracks that got a decent amount of attention . who ever complied this disc didnt do there homework . HATE THIS PLACE good song from dizzy but worth of being on a hit collection?STOP THE WORLD superstar car wash days again, ok but all the other great songs on that disc to choose from why this?then its LONG WAY DOWN first song that i would have picked.ALL EYES ON ME great tune but why us a half wit live version.LAZY EYE from one of those batman movies, yes not on anything else good track.this demo of IRIS is horrid, if they wanted to include this song they should have used the original acoustic version used in the city of angels movie. i could go on but the selections are not worth going through.the covers they included are good but there are better songs that could have been used NAKED, that was like a hit.LUCKY STAR,WE ARE THE NORMAL,THERE YOU ARE,FALLIN DOWN,the real version of NAME
not that crappy redo on GREATEST HITS 1.something like TWO DAYS IN FEBURARY the song selection is just weak.

History of the Goos music with Amazing DVD tracks August 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This CD/DVD is a must have collection for all Goo fans! The CD has great rarities, including the demo version of Iris, giving the opportunity to hear the transformation of the song from first recording to the monster hit version. This is a chance to hear the history of the Goo Goo Dolls and to take a listen back through time. The DVD has all the music videos, as well as some live performances from Red Rocks last year, and is again an opportunity to view the musical transformation of one of Americas best loved bands. Awesome is the best way to describe this CD/DVD collection. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
