Title: Q & A: Talking with Johnny Rzeznik

Q & A: Talking with Johnny Rzeznik

The Goo Goo Dolls' front man is a judge on the new Fox reality show The Next Great American Band. The Goos' new album, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1, is out on Nov. 13.

How big an accomplishment is the Greatest Hits CD for you and the band?

It's a shocking thing for us because we didn't realize we had 12 Top 10 hits. We sort of looked up a few months ago and thought, Wow, it's been 12 years. We've done pretty well for ourselves.

What inspires your writing?

I have this morbid fascination with being completely alienated from everybody, and a lot of the time I really do feel that way.

Why did you decide to participate in The Next Great American Band?

They told me that I could give my honest opinion, and it's real bands who get to play original music, which is really important. It's nice to see bands you could see at a bar finally get a chance.

How do you respond when people tell you that you look like Jon Bon Jovi?

I say I had the haircut before he did. There are worse people they could say I look like. They could say I look like Meatloaf.

What's your favorite Goo Goo Dolls song?

[Laughs.] That's like asking a mother who her favorite kid is. She knows, but she ain't telling.

It is completely acceptable to not want to look like Meatloaf. :D

(I grew up on Meatloaf. Some kids' parents are Beatles fans. Some are Rolling Stones fans. And some parents... are Meatloaf fans. I can sing the entire Bat Out of Hell album without even trying. Thanks, Mom.)

can't blame my parents for that one. my love of The Loaf is all my doing. I Would Do Anything For Love came out when i was in the 6th grade and it was on. Bat 1 and 2 are the best, that thing he did with Cher not so cool, new album was blah, but Rocky Horror Picture Show was da bomb. . . ;D
