George Tutuska (born February 27, 1965 in Buffalo, NY) is an American musician, best known as the former drummer of the alternative rock band Goo Goo Dolls. He grew up in South Buffalo with four sisters. He attended Medaille College in Buffalo, and was studying to become an English teacher. That was also where he met Robby Takac and formed the Sex Maggots (later named Goo Goo Dolls) with one of Takac’s friends, John Rzeznik. Along with being the drummer for the band for nearly 10 years, Tutuska was a primary lyricist for all five albums he contributed to. In this article, John Rzeznik explains that he wrote (or perhaps co-wrote) the lyrics to “James Dean” and “Road To Salinas”; both songs are from the Goo Goo Dolls’ second record, “Jed” released in 1989. Also, according to these articles; Tutuska and Rzeznik wrote “You Know What I Mean” together. Off the same record, Hold Me Up, released in 1990, Tutuska penned “There You Are”, the Goo Goo Dolls' first single, about his girlfriend, whom he had just broken up with at the time. Later on in his career with the Goo Goo Dolls, he wrote “Already There” with Robby for their fourth studio album “Superstar Car Wash” released in 1993. He also completely wrote the song “Stand Alone” which was only featured on the promotional version of the fifth studio album the Dolls released, A Boy Named Goo.
