He is best known as the guitarist and frontman of the rock band the Goo Goo Dolls, of which he is a founding member and with whom he has recorded ten studio albums. ==Early and personal life== Rzeznik was born in Buffalo, New York, the youngest and only son of five children of Edith (née Pomeroy) and Joseph Rzeznik, a bar proprietor and postal clerk.〔http://www.enotes.com/contemporary-musicians/goo-goo-dolls-biography〕 Both of Rzeznik's parents were musicians, playing the clarinet and flute. Rzeznik had a strict Catholic upbringing in Buffalo's working-class East Side Polish neighborhood and attended Corpus Christi Grammar School. Rzeznik's father died on February 2, 1981 from a diabetic coma at the age of fifty-three, when Rzeznik was fifteen years old. On October 26, 1982, his mother died from a sudden heart attack in the family's living room at the age of fifty-one. Having lost both of his parents, he was brought up by his four older sisters Phyllis, Fran, Gladys, and Kate. He paid for his own apartment using Social Security Survivor Benefit checks. It was during this period and while attending McKinley Vocational High School that Rzeznik began playing the guitar. Rzeznik briefly attended Buffalo State College, dropping out after his first year. All four of Rzeznik's grandparents were born in Poland; the original pronunciation of his last name is Rzeźnik (:ˈʐɛʑɲik), Polish for "butcher".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=English Polish Dictionary )〕 Rzeznik met former model Laurie Farinacci in 1990, married her in 1993 and in 2003 they were divorced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/GiveUpForever/bio.html )〕 He started dating Melina Gallo in 2005 and married her in Malibu, California on July 26, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Rzeznik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
