I just found this article, which says Ronan Keating received John's blessing to cover Iris. I wonder if John has heard the mess and if he thinks differently now...
http://www.thesundaymail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,19638036%2 55E5001182,00.html
One of the standout tracks that he didn't write is his rendition of a song associated with the Goo Goo Dolls, Iris. And that instantly catchy little ditty has been chosen as the first Bring You Home single – on the advice of no less an authority than Goo Goo Dolls leader Johnny Rzeznik.
"I was in New York one day doing a TV show with Johnny and I was telling him how much I loved their song Iris and that I was thinking of recording it," Keating says.
"He loved the idea and he enlightened me to the fact that Iris had never been released as a single. It had only ever been available as a tune on a soundtrack album, even though it was a massive radio hit around the world."

It could be worse, we could have gotten a techno remix. "BOOM BOOM BOOM and i dont want the world to see me BOOM BOOM BOOM WOOO WOOO"
Least someone with some talent did it. Just hope people dont think "Oh Iris I love that song that Ronan wrote"

That's what i was thinking, i hope people don't give him credict for it. Lol it's playing on the radio now as i'm writing this. What will bug me tho is that they're prolly gonna play his version more on the radio than the goo's one, they're version only gets played on a couple of radio stations and every so often. There's different ways this could go, i mean it might even help and boost the recognition the guys get in the UK. People might wanna look into who did the orginal, and look more into their music etc etc.

Ronan Keating is heading to Australia this week and will be performing on Sunrise this Friday. Sunrise is our version of the Today Show. I wonder if he will perform Iris ??

You know, I could have sworn I bought a single of "Iris"...a physical CD with B-sides and everything...and yet it was never a single?!! 
Well, anyway. I loathe Ronan's version of it, but hey, what can you do, he's recorded it now, and I'd be very surprised if it wasn't released here at some point. And it'll probably be a hit. Ugh. But then, I guess that would be better than it flopping in some ways, because it's still a damn fine song, even with Ronan screeching his way through it....

Haha Saz, you know what....i could have sworn i brought it too.....actually 2 in fact. It was re-released later on when city of angels was released on vhs. The first iris single had a cover of fleetwood mac's i don't wanna know and lazy eye, and then the re-released single, the acoustic version of iris. I remember the video repeatedly playing on MTV's brand new, and Zane Lowe saying that it was re-released.

How was Iris NOT a single? 
I've never heard this Ronan guy's cover of it, though it doesn't sound like I'm missing out on anything good. But I am getting curious...
And I highly doubt you'd have to worry about someone attributing the song to this guy. I'd think it's pretty impossible for someone not to have heard the original sometime between 1998 and now.
