1985年主唱兼吉他手John Rzeznik与玩重金属乐的表哥Robby Takac找来前鼓手George Tutuska，于美国纽约州水牛城组成了三人摇滚团体Goo Goo Dolls。成军15年以来发行过6张专辑，虽然前4年的摸索期所发行的两张专辑并未让他们尝到成名的滋味，却使得Goo Goo Dolls那种多元流行的摇滚乐风在乐坛中留下良好的印象，而1991年的第三张专辑「Hold Me Up」终于让他们渐露头角，在另类摇滚乐领域内小有名气。接着主唱兼吉他手并且负责词曲创作的John Rzeznik力图改变风格，于1993年发行了第四张专辑「Superstar Carwash」，风评与销售却地狱般的糟糕。遭受天大打击的Goo Goo Dolls重新思考在1995年推出反省作「A Boy Named Goo」，才扳回一成赢得许多摇滚电台的高度播放与支持。但随着成功而来的不是喜悦却是冲突与痛苦，首先因为前鼓手George Tutuska个人兼差太多而被两兄弟开除，虽然新的鼓手Mike Malinin很快地就为乐团代来心的音乐生命力，可是跟随成功而来的压力，使得George Tutuska写作的灵感窒碍不前。 　　此时所幸电影"天使之城(City Of Angels)"邀请他们为其原声带写作歌曲，这才解决了他们事业的危机。所谱写演唱的「Iris」一曲，不仅为他们赢得1999年第41届葛莱美音乐奖"年度唱片""最佳流行演唱团体""年度歌曲"等三项大奖提名，将Goo Goo Dolls的乐坛声望与作品销售数字提携至顶端外，「Iris」一曲的制作人也是"Dizzy Up The Girl"此专辑的制作Rob Cavallo更以此获得"年度最佳制作"大奖。 　　对于自1987年便已发表其首张同名专辑的Goo Goo Dolls而言，"Dizzy Up The Gril"其实已是Goo Goo Doll的第六张专辑，但却是他们于1996年以"A Boy Named Goo"专辑(1995发行)首次在主流乐坛绽放光芒之后，令人期待近三年之久后于1998年9月发行的首张全新专辑。Goo Goo Dolls在此辑中的表现，很明显地又比前作成熟进步不少，圆融地将各种不同性格--强硬中带着温柔、侵略中又带有技巧，毫无间隙地凝聚成一首首精彩之作。因此，你可以在辑中同时听到铿锵有力的吉他节奏与悠扬的小提琴旋律共存的抒情曲「Black Balloon」、活泼有力的流行曲「January Friend」，以及充满爆发力又不失优雅的摇滚曲「Bullet Proof」。此辑不仅已在美国创下首批销售达50万张金唱片纪录，发行至今亦已累积销售近2百万张。此亚洲版除了收录「Iris」(#9)这首为电影所创的畅销名曲，及Billboard流行榜#8名、Adult Top 40榜#3名单曲「Slide」外，还额外收录其"A Boy Named Goo"专辑中的流行榜#5名、Modern Rock榜4周冠军曲「Name」... 偷懒？谁？好吧，我承认。还是这个乐队。。。别拿板砖拍我 至少音乐是不多滴 试听：Sympathy - Goo Goo Dolls 试听：Before It's Too Late (Sam And Mikaela's Theme) - Goo Goo Dolls 试听：Stay With You - Goo Goo Dolls ================================================================== 歌词：Goo Goo Dolls - Sympathy Stranger than your sympathy And this is my apology I killed myself from the inside out And all my fears have pushed you out And I wished for things that I don't need (All I wanted) And what I chased won't set me free (All I wanted) And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees Oh, yeah Everything's all wrong, yeah Everything's all wrong, yeah Where the hell did I think I was? And stranger than your sympathy Take these things, so I don't feel I'm killing myself from the inside out And now my head's been filled with doubt We're taught to lead the life you choose (All I wanted) You know your love's run out on you (All I wanted) And you can't see when all your dreams aren't coming true Oh, yeah It's easy to forget, yeah When you choke on the regrets, yeah Who the hell did I think I was? And stranger than your sympathy And all these thoughts you stole from me And I'm not sure where I belong And no where's home and no more wrong And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was And I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me Mmm, yeah Stranger than your sympathy Stranger than your sympathy Mmm hmmm mmm
