Johnny Rzeznik of Goo Goo Dolls, Avril Lavigne - Iris (Live from Fashion Rocks 2004)

Avril Lavigne invited Johnny Rzeznik from Goo Goo Dolls to perform "Iris" together at "Fashion Rocks" on September 26th, 2004

To follow Avril ...

This song and Avril's "I'm With You" would actually make an epic mashup.

Incredible nostalgia here!! Can’t believe this was 17 years ago. That was such a fun era of music and a better time.

[Peterstarzynskitech]

One thing about Avril Lavigne is that when she sings other people's songs, she doesn't try to sound like them. She does it as if she made the song. Love that.

[roldirevan]

Goo Goo Dolls are such a criminally underrated band. <3

[Pirhett]

This was great but nothing will ever touch the performance in the rain on Fourth of July 2004. That was magical.

[hawktalon]

I didn't think that Avril Lavigne and Johnny Rzenik's voices would work so well together. I'm happy that they do.

[slayN]

There is something about this song that it never gets old

[MikeMcD-smds]

Ok, massive respect for Avril Lavigne, she didn't try try to over sing the song. That is class!!!

[Bobreel]

I’ve seen Johnny perform Iris with other female artists but none of them can touch the magic performed between him & Avril, imo. Perfection right here & so beautifully done.

[mrjamfy]

To this day one of the most beautiful songs ever!

[rifgarasheed]

when u think about it “i’m with you” and “iris” are very similar if you sing these side by side:
“i’m standing on the bridge, i’m waiting in the dark” + “and i’d give up forever to touch you, cause i know that u feel me somehow”
“it’s a damn cold night” + “and i don’t want the world to see me”.
plus the violins in the background!

[angeliquehernandez]

I became aware of this duet, right here, this second... love it and appreciate it.

[ericl]

2004 seems like a lifetime ago.... but this song and performance will live on even when we are all gone. This is perfection...

[edmilsonfernandes]

This should have been released officially. It's so good. I can't listen to Goo Goo Dolls version alone anymore. I always need the one with Avril.

[wewereher]

She has a very angelic pop punk voice 🤘🤘 And she can reach high notessss

[huskerchad]

No bells and whistles with Avril’s voice. She belts it out straight forward. Love it. She is tiny!!!

[angelgruberphoto]

Avril’s voice is from another planet! Incredible!

[prettybird]

The lyrics, the meaning behind the lyrics (angel + love from the soundtrack City of Angels), the music and Avril and Johnny's voice all collide to make this song a most memorable one for me. It sends tears down my face - it's that impactful.

[onlyawesomely]

Two legends! This was the greatest duet of its time!

[Baseball]

I've spent some time listening to cover after cover and this rendition with Avril is easily the best I can find - what an absolute treasure.
