Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, New York, by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik, bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Tutuska played drums with the Goo Goo Dolls from 1985 to 1994, and parted ways from the band after non-payment disputes with long-time friend John Rzeznik. Michael Theodore Malinin replaced Tutuska as the third member of the Band and drummer from December 1994 until December 27, 2013 (but not made an official member until 1998). The Goo Goo Dolls are renowned for their biggest hit single, "Iris", released in 1998 for the Warner Bros. film, The City of Angels, which stayed on top of Billboard Hot 100 Airplay charts for a record-breaking 18 weeks and spent 4 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Songs chart. The song was nominated for three Grammy
