With the release of Dizzy Up the Girl in 1998, Goo Goo Dolls completed the transition from indie favorites to mainstream rock monsters.

But the success of Boy paled in comparison to Dizzy, which spawned four hits, including radio favorite Iris.

“I remember thinking if you’re not careful with what you use, it will sound dated in 10 years. For my first album, I used a Rockman, which makes me cringe now”: Goo Goo Dolls’ John Rzeznik on the legacy of Iris, Dizzy Up the Girl and those weird tunings
