Goo Goo Dolls Hit The Road, Build Hometown Studio
 
January 17, 2007, 11:20 AM ET
 
Chuck Taylor, N.Y.
 
Twenty years since the release of their first album, the Goo Goo Dolls continue to rev on all cylinders. The band's latest tour in support of 10th album, "Let Love In," launched Dec. 5 and blankets the United States through March.
 
Frontman Johnny Rzeznik tells Billboard.com the trio will then head to the United Kingdom and Ireland, followed by a shed tour back in the States through the summer.
 
The Goos are also building a record studio in their hometown of Buffalo, N.Y. "We're never going to make a dime out of it, but the city has never had a proper recording studio and it's something we want to do," Rzeznik says. "It's completely a not-for-profit thing for friends and family and some local talent that we want to help out. If we were trying to go into the studio business, we'd be killed and disillusioned."
 
In December, the group earned the distinction as the biggest act in the history of Billboard's adult top 40 chart, with 12 top 10 hits, including the recent "Let Love In." Its first was "Name" in 1995, followed by the No. 1s "Iris" and "Slide" in 1998.
 
On the road, Rzeznik says he is all about sharing those well-known titles with fans. "I've seen bands who almost get resentful of their hits; they look at success with contempt. It's a very artsy thing to do. F*ck that," he says. "I say, be grateful that you have the hits, because most people would give their left nut to have even one. Play your ass off and prove yourself every night that you have the chance."

Nothing to say in particular.  I just feel the need to comment as the token WOG Buffalonian.  Yay for Goos in Buffalo!

They won't tour with anyone.  They will release another song from DUTG, become wildly popular again, and sell out the amphitheatres on their own.  The setlist will be so long there just isn't time for another act.  The IM will get its ass in gear and give away the first 4 rows.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm trying the positive route this year.

Ha ha.  I said gear, like the gear of a machine, the inner part of a machine even.
 
Anyways, if you're not part of my optimism, I'm going to have to ask you to not mock my positive thoughts.  We just can't have another 2006.

It's funny the thread title in the replies is "... Build Hometown Stu".  And I was like, who is Stu?  *You know you've been working to hard when ...* Cheesy

Gears, nuts, screws...all inner parts of the machine.  
I liken myself to one of the bolts.

Didn't Robby Takac start up that there "Good Charamel" studio not too many years ago? Am I the only one who's really confused by this whole comment/idea/debacle? Tongue
 
 
Not to move on from the topic of faulty machinery of course... Wink
