These three guys had no idea what they were in for, and neither did they care, because all they wanted to do was make music. Today, two of those three guys are still making music in that same band, and the third was replaced by someone who wanted to make music with that band. After over a decade of music playing, they still do it for the music.

It took them a while to get to the mainstream success, which is not actually what they intended to do, but they're punk rock fans started labelling the band "sell-outs". This was the point at which things were sort of breaking apart. John wasn't getting along with George, the drummer. Robby was basically the communication line between the two. It became so severe that John couldn't take anymore. He quit the Goo Goo Dolls.

But one day, their manager called. He asked John to write a song for the movie "City of Angels". He was determined to write this. In fact, he wouldn't stop until he was done. In one hour, he created a haunting ballad that would rule the airwaves for the next year, and later would be nominated for 3 Grammy’s. The name of this song was "Iris". This is where that band still stands today, and they still have the same dream of being rock stars. Only now, it's not a dream.
