I would love to hear It's Over. That's probably my most favorite song on Gutterflower. Also, I would love to hear them play All Eyes On Me more often. I agree that Bullet Proof and Ain't That Unusual need to be played.

"All Eyes On Me"
"Domino"
"We Are The Normal"
"On The Lie"
"Stop The World"
"Flat Top"
"Only One"
"Ain't That Unusual"

I've never even been to a live concert... :'(...I'd be more than happy to hear them play any song live.

The one song I missed hearing live in Buffalo was "We Are The Normal".

I have this very vivid memory of the way that John sang it at the Paris in Vegas in August of 2003. �I cried. �It was beautiful. �So I would have to say that is one I really want to hear again live. �

But "Slide" is always a "live" favorite....it's just so damn sexy when he whistles.

And the energy of watching Robby sing live.....it's so infectious. �In Daytona, I pointed at him..he smiled and pointed back...then everyone else did. �Yeah....that made my day. �

Man....all of this talk is killing me and I can't go to Michigan. I pray everyday for a surprise show somewhere in Central Florida....maybe God will take pity of my Goo deprived little heart and hook me up. � :embarrass:

I have a couple of bootlegs where they play "Hate this Place" and I think John screws up the words every single time :D

I'll second or third or whatever for "Fallin' Down"

And I vote for "Another Second Time Around", which is waaay underrated live. I especially vote for the version where they do intros in the middle of it.

Can't I say ALL of them? :P :P
Heh, but if I HAVE to choose then I'd go for:

- Girl Right Next To Me
- Slave Girl
- Already There
- Lazy Eye
- Domino

And I know they always play "Slide", but it's been pretty much my all-time fave song for 6 years so I'd LOVE to hear it live. :rockin:

FORT MYERS, Fla. --- Johnny Damon looks like Jim Morrison, hangs out with members of the band Cake and even had AC/DC singer Brian Johnson perform at his wedding.

Lenny DiNardo has jammed with Juliana Hatfield and is getting guitar lessons from Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando. Theo Epstein is a Pearl Jam devotee and guitar enthusiast who jams at the Hot Stove, Cool Music concert every year. Tim Wakefield and Kevin Millar play guitar, too; James Taylor even visited the Red Sox� spring training camp a few days ago.

Then there�s Bronson Arroyo. He is such an accomplished guitar player and singer that he recently cut an entire album of cover songs with a backing band that included some of the top musicians in the rock world. The CD is due out in July, and he�ll headline a show at the Avalon Ballroom the following day.

The Boston Red Sox are often compared to rock stars for their rebellious attitude and massive popularity wherever they go. But it seems that many Sox players would just as soon actually be rock stars.

"It�s a totally different experience," said Arroyo, who has also performed at the Hot Stove, Cool Music show. "It�s a lot more nerve-wracking being on stage playing guitar than it is pitching at Fenway Park. I�m a lot more comfortable on the mound. It�s a totally different crowd. In baseball, the crowd is kind of waiting to see what you do, good or bad. On stage, they�re kind of going along with the vibe the whole time."

Arroyo is the foremost example of the Sox� rock �n roll leanings. He walked into the clubhouse yesterday sporting a Kurt Cobain T-shirt. He said prior to the team�s visit to the White House on Thursday that he�d rather meet Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler than President Bush. He�s so dedicated to playing guitar that recently, after arriving home at 2 a.m., he popped in a Goo Goo Dolls DVD and couldn�t go to sleep until learning a few songs.

But Arroyo insists that he�s not auditioning for a second career if this baseball thing doesn�t pan out.

"It�ll always be sort of a hobby," he insisted. "I love playing, I love singing and I wouldn�t mind being on stage whether it�s (before) 10 people or 10,000 people. But I just can�t take it that seriously. It�s something that�s just fun."

So much fun that, after impressing some music industry insiders with his vocal prowess at the Hot Stove, Cool Music show, Arroyo was invited to record a CD out in Los Angeles. Arroyo sang a dozen of his favorite songs, including "Black" by Pearl Jam, "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots and "Pardon Me" by Incubus, with a backing band that included John Cougar Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff. Damon, DiNardo and Kevin Youkilis recently recorded backing vocals for "Dirty Water" at a studio in Florida.

The CD, "Covering All the Bases," was produced by Loren Harriet, who produced the jazz guitar CD "The Journey Within" by Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams a few years ago. It�s slated for a July 12 release.

While Arroyo may be the most prominent musician on the team, DiNardo may be the biggest music fan. The left-handed reliever, who stuck around with the club all of last season as a Rule V draftee but will likely be ticketed for Pawtucket this season, is close friends with Dando and Hatfield, playing guitar for the latter at the Hot Stove, Cool Music show.

He�s been a fan of the Boston rock scene for years, even while growing up in Florida, and believes the interaction between rock stars and musicians has a lot to do with that music scene, coupled with the city�s passionate devotion to the Red Sox.

In fact, even though he pitched just 27 2/3 innings last season, DiNardo found that being a Red Sox has plenty of musical perks. He got to meet REM lead singer Michael Stipe backstage last fall, and though Stipe isn�t a big sports fan, he was a bit starstruck meeting a member of the Sox.

Damon�s musical leanings are well-known. He�s friendly with members of Cake, American Hi-Fi and Seven Dust, and last year he and Arroyo recorded backing vocals on a track on the latter band�s CD.

The long-haired center fielder surprised guests at his star-studded December wedding when Johnson, the scream machine from heavy metal legends AC/DC, popped onstage.

Ron Johnson, the new PawSox manager who skippered Damon in Double-A a decade ago, was at the wedding and was about to leave when Damon told him to stick around for the surprise.

"I told my wife we should hang around for a couple of minutes, we�ve got to see something," Johnson recalled. "Next thing I hear is, �Back in Black�! I was like, �Hey Johnny, nice call.�"

"He blew the house down," Damon said of the AC/DC frontman. "It was amazing."

All this musical talent in one clubhouse would seem to lend itself to some sort of band being formed by Sox players and staff. Nothing could be further from the truth, according to Arroyo.

"We�re so far from putting together something that�s good," the pitcher claimed. "If you put me, Lenny, Theo and Wake playing music together, we would sound like a bunch of cats in a tin can."

The truth is, I missed the following item because upon opening today�s NY Times, I never got past Ben Ratliff�s review of Sonic Youth at the Hiro Ballroom. Which, by the way, sounded like a hot show, but who do Endless Boogie and Chain Gang have to fuck to catch a break from the Times� Arts section?

From Jack Curry in Wednesday�s NY Times :

Bronson Arroyo popped a CD of his vocals into the stereo in the Boston Red Sox� weight room about two months ago, turned up the volume and waited anxiously for a reaction. This was Arroyo�s anonymous audition for his teammates.

No one noticed. No one asked Arroyo to change the disc. As his covers of Pearl Jam, Goo Goo Dolls and Stone Temple Pilots songs filled the room, the Red Sox were oblivious to the fact that one of their pitchers had done a slick job of morphing into Eddie Vedder, Johnny Rzeznik and Scott Weiland.

Arroyo watched his teammates lift weights, tease each other and even bop their heads to the music - his music - over the next hour. For Arroyo, the silence was as rewarding as getting a standing ovation at Fenway Park.

�If you listen to tunes that you�ve heard your whole life and nobody says anything, it usually sounds good or sounds similar to the people who sang them,� Arroyo said. �If it sounded really bad, I�m sure they would have said: �What is this? Get it off.� �

I don�t wanna burst Bronson�s bubble, but being able to mimmick the manly-moody-moanings of Vedder, Rzeznik & Weiland isn�t exactly covering a wide stylistic swath. I mean, why not throw Shannon Hoon in there as well. Whether or not Arroyo�s teammates were just being polite, I can�t say for sure, but for all of Sammy Sosa�s clubhouse sins, no one ever accused him of passing his own singing off as music.

Awww. You are killing me. I didn't get there til near the end of the sound check. I heard them talking a bit. Playing parts of songs. Then they did "Give a Little Bit". I was thrilled with THAT. LOL I can't think about how I missed "We Are the Normal". It was a great day though. Thanks for reminding me of the sound check. AND John's amusing shorts. LOL ;D

I'd love to hear "Disconnected" in concert. I would have put it on my list, but I wanted to keep my list to 5... otherwise it'd be about 30 songs long... with that included.

Heh, that would very very cool. I guess the problem is that the Goo's only have a certain amount of time to play for, and they have so many great songs - it must be getting harder and harder for them to choose which ones to play!! Someone had an idea a while ago (I can't remember when or who, sorry) that they should play over 2 nights - and one night play songs from ABNG and older, and the second night do DUTG and GF - I think that would be a good way of getting all the songs we wanna hear played!! ;)

"Naked"
"Long Way Down"
"Fallin Down"
"Disconnected"
"Slave Girl"

There are so many that they could sing, which they won't as much now and its hard to choose cos each one has its own feel to it for the fans, if someone told ask me which song i would prefer out of goo list its quite impossible.... it depends on mood and time and place.

I am liking the idea of the two day concert that would b awesome.. and could be better than LIB - a weekend festival dedicated to goo goo dolls. Haven't the goos already had goo goo dolls day in Buffalo??!! i think i missed that.
