Personal Quote:

I always have this thing; if you write a really cool song, & then you put your leather pants on, you go out, and play, that's cool. That's playing with your image. If you put the leather pants on, & write a song to fit the pants, you're a total poser. You're being more conscious of your image than your craft, or whatever you want to call it, & you really have avoid that. See more »

Trivia:

The Goo Goo Dolls' song "Broadway" was written about Buffalo, John and Robby's hometown. See more »
