I can’t believe my life has degraded to the point that I’m watching the lead singer of Weezer read out of his diary for 40 minutes and loving every second of it
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert You said you never heard of them How cool is that? So I went on a cruise And read my own diary to a crowed of people.
I love the way when rivers reads through certain sections, he reminisces on these moments and just takes a small moment of pause As memories flood back.
What got me was how eloquently he spoke; how accurately he could convey his emotions and his every thought to those people, something I couldn’t even possibly imagine ever being able to do. Other than that, pretty cool video.
i know i really liked it and ive loved rivers for years. a geeky frail little guy who got teased without mercy who became a sex symbol rocker. far from the rejection he faced growing up by girls
20:05 - 27:50 This. This right here is one of the best pieces of journal writing I have ever had the fortune of stumbling across. If anyone questions whether or not Rivers Cuomo is a genius, I will simply point them to this segment right here. The writing is so raw, honest, and captivating, I can't believe it was all written in one stroke of the pen. I've been taking a creative nonfiction class over the past couple of months, and this journal entry is an incredible example of creative nonfiction and I guarantee you that wasn't even Rivers' intention. You can feel Rivers' thoughts whirring during this segment, and everything about it just screams intelligent, insightful, and oh so honest. Amazing work, Rivers. I may not have been able to buy this book, but I'm so glad I can experience this entry here.
@@carmynconnerley11 It's a really rare book called The Pinkerton Diaries! I looked for months to find a copy before finally landing one for, like, 300 bucks. They're not cheap anymore (maybe they never were, since they only made so many copies), but I got lucky. I hope you're able to find a copy somewhere!
I remember seeing them in Buffalo and he had the leg braces on...and it was outside no lights no smoke no bs. And a tech held him up to the keyboard and gave him his guitar and they went in to jamie and ended w in dreams...
Not only is it his gift of melody and song structures that make Rivers a brilliant musician but also the fact he can recognize these traits in others players. I always said as a guy that grew in the 1990’s that if you wanna be a great guitarist their was a handful of dudes to listen to in the 90’s. 1)Noel Gallagher-Oasis 2)Kurt Cobain-Nirvana 3)Frank Black/Joey Santiago-the Pixies 4)Dave Grohl-FooFighters. Last but not least, the most important, our kid 5)Rivers Cuomo-weezer. So when he talks about learning oasis I’m positive he’s 100 on that because they are one of the most prolific rock n roll bands of the 90’s/2000’s!!! In conclusion rock on Rivers, rock on Noel!!!!
I like weezer a lot but seriously whaaaat the shiiit???? On a cruise? Like dude we're in the middle of the Caribbean! Lets get drunk, go to the club, then quietly listen to Rivers Cuomo read his depressing diary... This shit is weeeeeird

This is proof that your life quality as increased
lmao girl in the crowd at the beginning..."Aww hunny"
“If you see a tear fall, don’t worry bout me y’all. This is what it’s like on top.”
I just watched rivers cuomo read from his diary for 40 minutes and loved every minute of it
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that? So I went on a cruise
And read my own diary to a crowed of people.
It's like being in River's head and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm going to crawl up in a ball now.
You can tell how hard it was for him to read the Mykel and Carli's death entries
timestamp?
@@scr1pted_0 32:35
@@KasperHatesLife thankyou
@@scr1pted_0 no problem.
I love rivers talking
It's so calming
he just speaks honestly
his writing is even better
Mykel and Carli is such a sad story. R.I.P because from what I've heard they were the first real fans they have.
I could watch this man speak for hours!
What an honest, endearing, intelligent human.
I love the way when rivers reads through certain sections, he reminisces on these moments and just takes a small moment of pause As memories flood back.
After hearing how many people laughed at that double bass and whammy bar tricks bit. I wonder how many musicians were in that crowd😂❤
It's crazy that the fourteen year old girls he was talking about at the beginning would be 42 now
Rivers on da weezer cruise
What will he do?
He do be reading his journal for an audience doe
@@ColetteNicoll what the-

I felt horrible after he read the entry about Mykel and Carli. What a shame, they sounded like wonderful people.

Damn I wish she filmed the questions too
this feels like a UA-cam analog horror found footage video

July 23rd. I am tired. But i am making music and listening to rivers cuomo read his diary. I am weird.
Material Issue OMG havent heard that band name in FOREVER
What's self indulgent about reading your diary to an audience? lol
I WANTED TO HEAR THE QUESTIONS!!!
DAMN! I had eleven minutes left and I accidentally closed the tab! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!
I love this guy
that's what makes it great
This is cool.
Rivers hangs out with Carl....... Carl Weezer

Holy sh*t...
So sad:(
15:20
as much as i love the band and like this,i find this stuff to be very self indulgent and bizzare. i do like it though
Why is this interesting
Will Weezer ever attempt another (dope-ass) stab at opera?
k.
well, this dude take English in Harvard, so yeah lol
Hell = watching Rivers Cuomo recite his diary on a "Weezer Cruise" ship
No.
Yep.
No. I wish he read more of it.
I like weezer a lot but seriously whaaaat the shiiit???? On a cruise? Like dude we're in the middle of the Caribbean! Lets get drunk, go to the club, then quietly listen to Rivers Cuomo read his depressing diary... This shit is weeeeeird
It's like a chick reading his diary to other chicks
