  Original Goo Goo Dolls Drummer Can't Let It Slide : Rolling Stone
Tutuska said he'd previously told band management he wouldn't tour behind the album unless Rzeznik agreed to split royalties evenly among the three members, a practice Tutuska claims the band had engaged in since the release of their 1987 self-titled debut.
Though Tutuska still receives royalty checks from that album and the previous four albums, he still feels shortchanged by the perception he was merely a third wheel among the trio.
While Tutuska concedes "no matter what I say, it can come across as sour grapes," he has been busy juggling two careers: one as the drummer of the quintet Bobo and another as the co-owner of a home improvement company in Buffalo.

That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.
It was eventually released as a single nationwide, and went Top Five late in the year; platinum sales for the album followed close behind.
Unfortunately, drummer Tutuska was no longer around to enjoy the band's success; prior to the album's release, he'd been sacked and replaced by drummer Mike Malinin.

That shows up in your work." But just because the band members are growing up doesn't mean their new record has to sound grown-up.
Anchored by Tutuska's Neanderthal clubbing, the Goos reverberate like chain saws with a beat.
The Goo Goo Dolls, in fact, are a throwback to the glory days of postpunk heroes like the Replacements and Husker Du -- bands that would wear their hearts on their sleeves if only their shirts weren't ripped to shreds.
