Goo Goo Dolls Tickets in Phoenix
Known for big hits in the late 90’s, the Goo Goo Dolls will be playing here in Phoenix. The show will be at the Dodge Theater and you should be there. Here is some info in Harry for his wiki:
Founded in Buffalo, New York in 1986 by guitarist/vocalist Johnny Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, the Goo Goo Dolls initially consisted of the two founders and George Tutuska on drums. They were originally named The Sex Maggots, although that name kept that from playing concert venues. The band named themselves (the name was picked out from an ad in a True Detective magazine) at the request of a local club owner who refused to let them play otherwise. They were originally signed by the short-lived indie label Mercenary Records and they released their self-titled debut album in 1986. A little over a year later, a Los Angeles performance brought the band to the attention of Metal Blade Records, who would later distribute their first wide release.
In their early career, they were often dismissed by critics as derivative of The Replacements. (Rzeznik has stated on many occasions that Paul Westerberg is a major influence on his writing.) While they were embraced by college radio and the local punk scene (playing such venues as CBGB’s), especially after the release of their third album, Hold Me Up (1990), by this time, the Goo Goo Dolls had emerged with their own sound which incorporated elements of heavy metal, pop rock, and punk. In 1991, the song “I’m Awake Now” was recorded for the soundtrack of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, the video for which featured a cameo of Robert Englund in character as Freddy and was played on the major video channels of the time.
