Back in 1999, VH1 aired a 45-minute documentary about the Goo Goo Dolls. I’m sure a lot of fans have already watched this material. It was easily streamable online for a few years before it disappeared from the world wide web. It recently resurfaced on YouTube.

Another very rare audio material, unearthed from the depths on the worldwide web. Today I want to share with you a 3-song cassette sampler titled “La Di Da”, and performed by a band called Sex Maggot. Who were they? They were the Goo Goo Dolls, before they changed their name to the actual one. If I remember correctly, Sex Maggot was later converted into Sex Maggots, a name that was then dropped for Goo Goo Dolls when they released their first album back in 1987.
This cassette was recorded in 1985, and features the original members (John, Robby, and former drummer George Tutuska). In it, we find three songs. The overall recording quality is quite good for its time, I’m surprised to say. The first one is “Sex Maggot“, which ended up being included in their sophomore release “Jed”. The other two might be covers. I am not sure, as I did not recognize them. If you do, please reach out to me so I can give them proper credit.
Enjoy this piece of history by watching the video below, which was originally posted here. Download links are provided as well.
MTV 120 Minutes short promo for “Superstar Car Wash”
Here is a very rare clip featuring the band doing a short promo video for their album “Superstar Car Wash”. This was shot on February 21st, 1993. They also make a brief introduction to their video for “There You Are“.
This is quite cool and extremely hard-to-find material which I recently discovered on YouTube. Originally posted here. The band cracks a few jokes, and we also get to see former drummer George Tutuska in a not-so-happy mood.
Enjoy it. Download links are also available below.
Laughing (Music Video)
Officially, the first music video the Goo Goo Dolls ever released was the one for the song “There You Are“. In reality, there were at least two others (that I know of) which were recorded but not released to the media. The oldest one was for “No Way Out“. Nothing is known about it. I remember reading somewhere that it was recorded by John’s then girlfriend Laurie Kwasnik, the one who also helped him get into College to study to become a repairman, specifically a plumber. Laurie Kwasnik, along the years, has become a very successful filmmaker. She has an IMDB page too, located here.
