Weezer is a band with a sprawling complex history. From the Blue album, to Pinkerton, to the Green album, to Maladroit, to Make Believe, to the Red album, to Raditude, to Hurley, to Everything Will Be Alright in the End, to the White album, to Pacific Daydream, to the Teal album, to the Black album, to OK Human, to Van Weezer, to SZNZ. With lots of Weezer cruises, and TV pilots in-between. Basically, there's a lot of ground to cover. But I've never discussed Weezer's origins in depth. So i'm doing that now.

I hope that small indie band does good with their label. Plus that Jason cropper kid looks confident I hope he has a long career in the band.
Yeah I hope the bassist won't change 2/3 times
I hope that small indie band makes a album with a dog on the cover.
@@blutagg63 and an album with hurley on the cover
i hope their 2nd bassist doesnt od
@@blutagg63maybe they could call it park life or something. Maybe call their band blur cuz the photos back then weren’t clear
Now you can just copy and paste this video as the intro to the five hour long full Weezer history documentary you make before ending the channel
Oh my god!! its the guy who said Aeroplane Over the Sea was Overrated!!
@@femboygaminggay oh wait, my bad, he said it was overrated

Babe wake up. Marcbutevil uploaded

as if I would have a babe to tell to wake up. I'm a Weezer fan
@@sammiller8925 same :,(
@@sammiller8925 true, original comment needs to take his schizo meds
too real
I’m pretty sure Rivers debunked that he had asthma a long time ago. His dad called him Weezer because of the Little Rascals character, because he was “the cool one.”
And the biggest influence on Rivers when he first started writing was The Velvet Underground. Nirvana’s “Sliver” inspired the nerdy nostalgia of those songs, and Sebadoh inspired the earnestness.
Rivers is Kurt Cobain
@@thirdlegstalliano Kurt was taller.
@@boonehthen there’s Krist 😂. Funny enough I’m starting a rock band and our drummer is that tall 😂
that's crazy, my grandpa also calls me that for the same reason
I am crying rivers of tears 😭
Weezer was there all along next to adam and eve they were a creation of god
And like god created lucifer, so too, did he create Weezer
I met these guys. Was in a recording studio in Kennsington Market, recording a piece on lap steel. The owner of the studio had found me busking and invited me to come down and record. In return i made him a logo for his biz. So it was the hottest most humid day, the air conditioning wasn’t working so there was sweat running off of my face and dripping down onto the guitar, like a river. So these two guys from Weezer walked in for some reason and we had a short chat. They said they liked my sound. I said it would sound better if i was not underwater or something to that effect. I had no idea who they even were at the time and didn’t know for years who weezer where. They were called Weezer at the time; they had a rehearsal space exactly in the building on Queen’s Quay where my ex girlfriend, Alice, was putting on fashion shows and such and there were big parties there. That part, about Alice is rather a long strange story. She was too beautiuful for her own good and literally every guy wanted her. Anyway…carry on, thx for making this video :)
Wait wut like in Toronto?
@@MichelleB022 Yes, the studio was in Kensington Market, don’t recall the name of it or the name of the engineer who owned and operated it.
Sounds like bs, lol. You've never had a girlfriend, unless you want me to count that cpr practice dummy or your imaginary lady friend from Prague or whatever.
Another great video, Marc. I really appreciate you mentioning how big of an influence KISS was for Rivers. Surprisingly, few people talk about it.
Weeeeyooo you look jist like Buddy Holly
I'm a death metal fan but I'll always have love for the green album, and the blue album
Pinkerton tho?
me too man
I had no idea it was a Sloan show that gave Weezer a bit of A&R profile. My first and only Weezer show featured Sloan as the opener. They definitely complement each other.
So you are telling me that weezer didn’t start from River’s ex being the lead singer of the band and leaving then making Cuomo become the frontman ?
Okay, that's the next April Fools video:
Whoa oh, whoa oh, it’s a perfect situation
I honestly believed that
Surprised it's not an April Fools vid, but it's a pleasant surprise, this is nice!
That ending gave me chills and Weezes
I remember Zoom, lol. They would be flying around Sunset Strip on their skates, peppering the cars and poles with their flyers, and they wore these Dana Strum hairstyle wigs, and just towels on. The band wasnt bad, yet not great, Rivers was like a cross between KK Downing (his hero)of Judas Priest and Paul Gilbert on guitar. Great times in 89.
Literally the fastest I've ever opened a notif
Awesome video. I saw their tour with the Pixies a couple years ago and heard how Rivers talked about his admiration for them.
We need a weezer biopic
Great video Marc. Honestly, I was expecting for a video like this one for awhile. You did a very good research and as always I learned a lot about Weezer.
Ok but can we talk about River´s long beautiful hair? I mean..
wake up babe, new MarcButEvil video is out
the pete best joke killed me as a beatles fan
My favorite comment gets pinned next Saturday
Oh boy!
Because I’m one of those people who didn’t come to this channel as a Weezer fan, I spent half the video thinking this must be an April Fools joke. This is next level anti-prank writing. I respect that.
I don’t make frequent videos, but the style, writing, delivery, and humor made this channel one of the models I was emulating when I did. Keep it up.
I don't understand, how would this be a joke
@@yeetiminguspro3438 well as of writing it says this was uploaded 2 weeks ago, so even I wasn't sure. I like Weezer but don't know anything about them, so this video could've had me fooled
It's unfortunate that Blue released a month after Rivers' (and Weezer in general) inspiration died
Lost it at the Pete Best comment. Love your videos and snark as always, Marc. Keep it up, dude.
Wait, i thought the next video was about Hurley?
A human rights violation occurred. You are not allowed to speak about this.
That would be a waste
I didn't know they made an album called Unlikely Origins. Interesting dive.
This is such a great channel. Thank you very much, very cool
Sloan are my favorite band it’s so cool that they were a catalyst in the story
I love this video. I enjoyed the way you explain it. Funny and simple. Great vid Marc
Wild upload date to upload a great video on Weezer's origins
*seal voice* harr harr harr
Another great video from marcbutevil
Love your videos man! Fresh and new. 😀🎸❤️🤘
Great video! I liked also the way you tell the story. Pretty fun. 😊 cheers❤
Just watching this for the first time. I really adore the use of Caravan at 7:26. I was watching whiplash only a few days ago so the music instantly caught me. Love it! And not to forget that the video is fantastic.
I feel like this was released on April 1st, because for those that don't know the history, all of this sounds so ridiculous that it honestly sounds made up.
best channel on youtube
Great vid by a good channel, ❤, keep it up❤❤❤
Great video. A lot of info I had no idea about
Love the video! thanks!
Great stuff, would love to hear about why Jason Cropper left to join His wife in chopper one (the song punk named Josh is cool) and how Brian even joined, how and why Matt left for the rentals (love em) . Mikey’s intro and exit ( mental breakdown) and Scott’s finally rockin the bass for em. Just loved ur video was sad when it was over.
Imagine if Weezer covered the entire 1965 Beach Boys album, "Summer Days (and summer nights!!)" at this point in their career. Every song sounds like it could be a weezer song with just some added distortion and River's voice. It would be a cool and unexpected follow up to the SZNZ eps.
Pavement was a big influence in the indie scene and many have described Weezer as a Pavement for the mainstream.
Rivers sure is a funny guy
Thank you Marcus
Putting The Wasteland at the end was a really good touch
3:30 I think this should be addressed right now, for your improper use of the word “Geek”. A “Geek” was the person who bite the heads of the chickens at the carnival. (Someone you wouldn’t want to be around) and somehow during the 80’s it became a synonym for nerd. You think when Classy Freddie Blassie called people a “Pencil Neck Geek” he was referring to a nerd?
Excellent. I learned that Rivers Cuomo has the fastest growing hair of any rock star. Ever.
Seeing the Beatles in Rishikesh, Help, and a picture of the decca audition gave me a mild heart attack.
What are your opinions on the songs from Raditude Deluxe and Hurley Deluxe and Also the red album deluxe?
Excellent video! Long live Weezer!
saw them at the Marque(sp?)London in the 90s.killed it
why pat wilson starin at me like that
Damn dude why you gotta startle me with Matt sharp like that
Shit, try watching this in a dark room and having Matt sharp show up so quickly in your face with that murderous grin
Hey, You finally figured out how to end the video!!!
What is the song playing at the very end, please?
We saw Weezer earlier this year, and the next night they were opening for kiss. It sound like a dream come true for Rivers
I can't believe rivers cuomo is real
He isn't. This is all a dream. You need to wake up.
Tee_hee
Kitchen Tape baby , thats what i been Wating, thats what's all about
Goodbye Hurley 😢
Learning that Rivers Cuomo came from what is basically a hippie cult upbringing kinda makes sense considering how open-minded is now
I mean after you've been there, you've seen everything
Bro is a major wheezers fan
please do a documentary on tony molina or ozma
I love the persona music at 4:25
This is a River’s video. Not a Weezer video. Half way in still Rivers. When you do a video about a history, make it about everybody. Intensely. He’s the most famous in the band we know most of this stuff. What about the other guys?
It's Weezin' Time
Good stuff
Appreciate it
Are you a Dark Souls player? Because that Dexterity jab was mint 😂
Do one on Matt Sharp and The Rentals!
you forgot rivers two long lost siblings, fire cuomo and air cuomo
4:00 “you may think the nerdiness is off topic” same band that made “In The Garage”, dude nerdiness IS the topic
"ING-VEY" Malmsteen. Yeah.
But yeah great video.
Thank god, now I don't have to read the rolling stone
leaves went by james and a common nickname for that is jimmy and in say it aint so, the lyrics "wrestle with jimmy" appear in the start. potential reference to his childhood? idk im no weezer expert
Okay marc
need pinkerton vid
the waste land goes fucking hard.
It just started playing in my head when I wrote the last line, it’s just that cool.
What’s the song at the end of the video? It goes hard
I’m assuming rivers had hemihypertrophy, that’s what I have, the entire right side of my body is larger than the other.
“ever heard of pete best” brooo
Hey.. It's almost a year since the last album.. Has Rivers lost it!?
Father time- best song by rivers by far
what is the guitar playing at around minute 11
5:17 Yngwie is usually pronounced “Ing-Vay”
Epic vocal fry dude
I don't know, in contrast, how to phrase it but one of my obscure humourous habits is to "full throated scream" in response to a provocation and then ask "is that a fry scream?"
Funny how Sloan played into this...they re a great fkn band...
Adore Sloan
Yeah but did you guys see Garfield in the representation of classical music?
What's up with the Kirby soundtrack?
I miss brian
I miss Pinkerton
The status quo(mo)
Wow Rivers is left-footed but plays guitar right handed, how unusual
Wheeze
I ditched Weezer after Pinkerton but I still listen to the Rentals. Mmmmmmm Moog.
5:50 Rivers' Monk is based.
Damn my favorite metal song by weezer is this is such a pity, gonna tell my metalhead friends!
I really like Weezer
I thought this was an April fools joke but I got happier and happier as I started to realize it wasn’t.
i love weezer
nice pic of iron maiden
You've cleaned up, found jesus. Things are good also I care
