Dude, that was fucking AWESOME!!! That was your "8 Mile Lose Yourself Moment" and you nailed it!!!!! Memory for your whole life!!!!! Good job for having the BALLS to ask and also the skills to play it!!

This is why I’m still a big Dolls fan! John Rzeznik is just that fucking cool!

this is why i love goo goo dolls. they don't let fame get to their head and they are always grounded.

This was an incredible concert and the guy who performed did a great job, so nice of Johnny to let him play

This made my soul smile. Great job!

Generous of John to give you this once in a lifetime moment. Good job keeping it real, Jake.

I love when bands share their stage and make someone’s LIFE! Great job Jake!

This is fucking amazing moments like these should be forever be treasured.

Now old fans become more fans yet. What a light and nice vibe.

Jake, That was Awesome! You blew Johnny's mind - He was really worried about having the song messed up, but you blew him and the audience and all of us who watch you away! Thank you for the work you put into learning that song and really pushing to get on stage to do it! Teared me up watching you!🙂 🙏 ❤

I don't think I could play guitar in front of Johnny, his antics are too much 😂 What a joyful video!

John was so delightful in letting you play - it made the concert so earthy and even more fun!

Wow, you can see how nervous he was until Johnny started singing with him and putting the mic close enough so he could sing into it. That’s when he really started letting loose and enjoying the moment! So glad Jake was able to perform, would’ve done a much better job than I!

12 out of 10. So cool of the band to hang it out there & not just do the normal thing but instead interact with the audience. Great energy.

This is single handedly one of the best things I’ve seen I’ve dreamed of playing that with them amazing guts you had there man

What an incredible memory for this guy. Lifetime memory. He did great obviously. I think a lot of people are missing how incredibly generous it was for John Rzreznik and the rest of the band to give him the spotlight. A strange fan in the stands. Just an incredible moment all around. This is why music exists.

My son's name is Jake and that was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

That was amazing. Buffalo's own goo goo dolls have always been a class act.

He definitely told everyone your name . A name that people will never forget after that night ! You go JAKE !

I grinned ear to ear watching that. Great job! I couldn't imagine what a blast that must have been!

Damn Jake was good at this shit. Johnny Reznick is so FUCKIN Cool. I love this video, what a moment. I've NEVER seen a band let a fan come up and play the lead guitar on a song of this magnitude. BEAUTIFUL moment. Way to go Jake. Love the GGD's. So AWESOME 🙂

That’s awesome! This is what keeps bands relevant over time, simply staying connected with fans new and old alike.

What an opportunity of a lifetime! I have never seen this happen at a concert before. You did an outstanding job, Jake! Kudos to you for being brave enough to do this!

Jake, that was one of the coolest moments to see a fan ask to come on stage to play one of goo goo dolls most popular songs and nail it. Just to see the audience cheering for you gave me chills down my spine. It’s not everyday someone can get up on stage like that. Treasure it forever. Even though it’s from a while ago I was still cheering u on. Keep rocking man!!!!

Jake, I completely believe it was the best day of your life, and you lived up to it! I'm just grinning ear to ear. Good job man.

That was awesome, it's one thing to play for Johnny to sing and it being only one instrument. But with the whole band and to have timing right, for the first time playing WITH the band. Truly a once in a life time moment.

I was there with my daughter and this video is part of the special moment we shared for her birthday, you nailed by the way.

It’s 2022...I’m not sure how this video was on my recommendation list but I’M SO GLAD IT WAS! Jake you were amazing! I love this video so much and is now on my favorite play list. Well done dude. Well done. 👏😘

WOW! You did great, Jake! Good for you for going for it, and good for them for being so cool about it. 👏

I can't stop smiling!!! Awesome job man!! Thats a dream come true

Smiles.... so many Smiles!!! Smiling Is Good For The Soul... Thank you Jake... For The Smiles!!

Seeing all the guys back him up in the corner was really beautiful to see, they were cheering him on. They gave it all up to him. They trusted him and he carried his weight. What an awesome moment. Let's carry our weights for everyone!

-NOTE-Jake and Dan are 2 different people. Both phenomenonal guitarists

One memory you'll never forget and will tell your children 🙃 Awesome👌🏻🙏🏻

In a jacked up world music has a way of feeding our souls and making our ❤ smile!!! Kick @ss job Jake!!! Very cool of JR & the band to give it a go🎸

Legendary brother. what a memory. pumped for you still.

What a honor . One off the dream bucketlist

Brilliant, Jake! Bet your friends and family are loving every minute of this too. 🇨🇦

That has got to be the dream (and maybe the nightmare) of many guitar player around - get on stage with your idol and play with them. Having had a look at Iris - I know John loves very non-standard tunings and most people modify the songs to play in something approaching standard. When he voiced concern that you might not be able to play his guitar - then you played a few chords and you could see his face change to awe. YOU NAILED IT. I had the most massive grin on my face through this whole video - my cheeks actually hurt.

Amazing! Brought me to tears! ❤️❤️

He should have given you the guitar on stage. You killed it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

If anybody was wondering what kind of a guy Johnny is, check him out at 2:59 reaching out to turn up the volume on his guitar so the crowd could hear Jake better. 100% class.

Amazing, fantastic, good on you. The crowd loved it and so did I.

You are a good sport to do this, Johnny!! Bless you! You made this kids year!!

Just came across this and what a fab night that was for you. You did a brilliant job. Blew Johnny and the band and fans away! Loved it. Thanks for sharing👍❤️

Rock & Roll fantasy comes true! You did a great job even with Johnny all up in your business. 😊

Congratulations, that had to be a truly incredible experience! I envy you so much!! WELL DONE!!

Awesome job Jake! Love this! Johnny is such a good sport! As is the band. :)

Wow awesome job man, up on stage you killed it congratulations!!

Awww this was so sweeeet of Johnny. This fan played the guitar awesome! Wow!! Rock on guys !!

This brought such a big smile to my face. Its amazing to see people have their moment.

I couldn't love this more. John was in the moment and you are one talented and lucky dude.

Jake, beatifull man just beautifully done. Thanks for sharing, you made me smile. May your future be fulfilled with many great moments like these.

You did auesome Jake !! What an experience!!

I worked so hard to learn that tuning and how to play that song hoping for a moment just like that! So fucking awesome you got that moment. Well done brother!!
