I love how down-to-Earth they all seem; the success has not gone to their heads. They still dress casual, dance around and have fun. They don't need to prove anything to anyone (which is kind of what Pork and Beans is about).
youtubkeeper Weezer's entire image is based on looking like a bunch of nerds. Their lyrics, their garage-band vibe, the fact that they dress like a bunch of high-schoolers... that's the entire point. You think it's all about them not being flashy? "Casual" *IS* their "flashy". It's their costume. It's their style. It's their "thing". Marilyn Manson paints his face and straps on a corset before he goes on stage... Rivers Cuomo ties his sneakers and throws on a hoodie.
+Kevin Walter Haha, OK, I see your point. I'll rephrase/clarify a little: I'm sure they've had pressure at times from record labels, managers, gig promoter, etc. to change, but they've kept the look and sound and done it the way they want. Other bands change (look and sound) when they gain commercial success and they end up losing their loyal fans. Rock on Weezer!
They sure make it seem that way but i think the major reason theve struggle is because the success if the blue album wasnt well known so fastly that made rivers felt pressured after the succes of the album they wouldnt had gone down the road they went in the 2000s
As someone who's seen them probably 10x live, over the last 20+ years, they are awesome live. But I really do think Rivers goes all out when he's in Japan.
RIvers is a very down to earth dude that genuinely cares about people. I was in the official video filmed in Downtown Los Angeles. Me and a friend could not get back home to Van Nuys that night. Rivers himself came out of his own pocket and gave us taxi fare all the way back home. I have nothing but the greatest respect for Rivers Cuomo.
As weird as Pat looks playing guitar, it's pretty wholesome to see him and Scott playing next to each other, considering they're the only members of Weezer who are still friends.
I posted that after reading a Rolling Stone cover story, then I realized it was from 2005 lol. The article quoted Rick Rubin saying that Weezer were the most dysfunctional band he'd ever worked with and that Scott and Pat were the only band members who even remotely liked each other. I highly doubt they're best friends, but I'm sure they get along better now. I suppose it's also kinda weird to ponder about that sort of thing but we
@@flamingcabbage8359 ...I just found and read that same Rolling Stone article from 2005 you mentioned. Very interesting. I had no idea there was so much tension among the band members back then. As someone who is "on the spectrum", I would not be surprised if Rivers was as well. We have a tendency to make others around us uncomfortable, even though its unintentional. I'm sure it would create schisms in a band atmosphere. Cuomo seemed to direct his focus on meditation in 2005, which is better than turning to drugs or other dangerous addictive outlets. I hope he has found the peace he has been searching for.
@@diamonddavemusic watch the interview of Rivers with Dan Harris for the 10% Percent Happier podcast. In that interview, Rivers admitted that by the time Make Believe was in production and that Rolling Stones interview came up, he and the rest of the band wasn’t in good terms, but that nowadays, all of them gets along just fine. Rivers in that interview acknowledged that mediation played a huge role in helping him grow as a person and becoming a better band mate.
@@jearauz ...Thanks for the reply and information. Yes, I've read that Rivers is married and now has 2 children. He seems to have found the peace he needed in his life. Good for him and his family! Rock on!
I wish I had been there. I wanna join the chorus of Perfect Situation. And as Japanese fan, I have an affinity for Rivers trying Japanese as hard as he can in MC.
He's from Massachusetts and I'd like to see you become as successful and popular as him. I doubt you could do all the things he can with his voice. You should hear The Greatest man That Ever Lived before you can judge his voice.
"On Weezer's 2009 tour supporting Blink 182, Josh Freese played drums for Weezer while Wilson played guitar for 90% of their set. Rivers Cuomo insisted that he wanted to be more interactive and mobile on stage, so Wilson took up his responsibility of guitar and only played drums on songs that didn't require multiple guitar parts" - Wiki article on Patrick Wilson.
@Trazosable That's not just another drummer It's Josh Freese on the drums... That guy is a legend! A Perfect Circle-The Vandals-Devo-GNR-and now Weezer. The best rock drummer hands down!
For some reason he’s been playing guitar for a while. I read it’s because Rivers doesn’t want to play while singing anymore but that could be bullshit.
How powerful do you think the distortion is on the pick-up Brian put in that acoustic? The choruses have a nice fuzz and I'm thinking it can't be mostly Pat.
What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain There's the pitch, slow and straight All I have to do is swing And I'm the hero But I'm the zero Hungry nights, once again Now it's getting unbelievable 'Cause I could not have it better But I just can't get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto I just pass through Singing Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa Singing Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa Get your hands off the girl Can't you see that she belongs to me? And I don't appreciate this excess company Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander Can you blame her? Singing Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa Singing Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa Tell me there's a logic out there Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come Tell me there's some hope for me I don't wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth, oh Oh ho, ho ho, oh ho whoa Singing Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa Singing Oh ho, whoa oh Whoa oh oh, whoa, whoa oh Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh (Perfect situation) Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh (Perfect situation) Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Perfect situation
When I saw them in September of 08, Scott sang. And he doesn't have a bad voice but this song is meant to be sung by Rivers, as are most of their tunes. I wish he'd play guitar more, so they can get back to the original line-up.
@@tapoutluke well i forgot what I was talking about 10 years ago but I think it wasn't these 2 songs specifically but for example: Buddy Holly is amazing, but Beverly Hills is meh.

Rivers doesn't get older, he's gets awesomer.
more awesomer*
I can't believe how good they sound live
=w= 4 life
They sound good live, but he sings lame.
As someone who's seen them probably 10x live, over the last 20+ years, they are awesome live. But I really do think Rivers goes all out when he's in Japan.
yep
watch live in tokyo 2005 on youtube
in some cases he sings arguably better than on the albums
It’s so amazing seeing them live honestly
Especially now since they’ve grown as a band and rivers has gotten better at singing and everything
@@wpleary2 he loves Japan
rivers has this awesome geeky vibe to him, it's great
It's not a vibe, he is geeky lol but it's awesome

You should check out Pinkerton
@@ClassyMustache09 pretty sure they had pinkerton in mind when they made this comment.
*other modern songs
Idk man, underdogs makes me cry like a bitch honestly if you ask me
Weezer is awesome live. I'll see them anytime!!
COVID-19: sorry mate
Never mind that this was posted in 2014 so that wasn't a problem
I wish I had been there. I wanna join the chorus of Perfect Situation.
And as Japanese fan, I have an affinity for Rivers trying Japanese as hard as he can in MC.
i like how how the lead singer guitar has a thai world saying "foreigner" lol , awesome live show :D
I love it when he talks Japanese.
this is such a good performance of both songs. I want to see them so bad.
Unbelievable opening..maybe one of the best of all-time in Perfect Situation.
4:10 was the most perfect part of the song when he went into the high pitch. Just like the studio version
Starting at about 4:04
wow his vocals have gotten so much better in the past few years
Raditude-Hurley era singing was not the best era for Rivers
Maybe I should play the lead guitar and pat should play the drums 🌝
Cam Car Maybe Pat should go back to drums
Yeah but pat was good on guitar also
XY4 joking or do you not get the reference?
Lol if you don’t it’s ok I’m glad to explain
Btw EWBAITE is probably one of my favorite albums that’s came out recently
No
holy shit they sound fucking awesome live

@supermel9 Hmm thats weird I have a movie from 2001 in bluray format....oh how we are getting f*%ed with.
He's speaking awesome Japanese!! wow
im obbsessed with pork and beans its my favourite song ever of all time
Man they sound great live!
piano is a fantastic addition to this already great song
Wondered where their drummer went then I saw him on guitar.
This said 'drummer' is Patrick Wilson
I think it's cool that Pat can just go grab a guitar and play lead for a few songs. Rivers should play drums and sing sometimes.
Ex-perfect circle drummer needed some extra cash.. lol
@@gerardcuomohopplongebouvie1311 Nope that's Josh Freese.
@@gerardcuomohopplongebouvie1311 nope
pork and beans sound is amazing, amazing performance
I like that they got Pat playing rythem guitar, and doing backup vocals.
WEEZER FOREVER
=W=
:) ROCK ON NERDS , GEEKS AND DORKS
WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO REALLY MATTER IN THIS WORLD
GAY
WE LOVE NOT HAVING SEX
Dat bass.
Once you give a drummer a taste of power he always wants more...
Great back vocals ! :)
This whole concert looked like so much fun lol
I think is the best version for perfect situation
Rivers is so lovely nerd 😂❤️
FUCKING GOOSEBUMBS. Man, when he talked in Japanese, and then everyone was like whoaa.
Killed me.
He's from Massachusetts and I'd like to see you become as successful and popular as him. I doubt you could do all the things he can with his voice. You should hear The Greatest man That Ever Lived before you can judge his voice.
Awesome Doesn't Age.
i just got tickets to see them!!
best weezer song evar!
gotta love rivers speaking in japanese for the singalong. that's a devotion to your fans of all nationalities right there. (: classy guy.
From 1994 tell now Weezer is the best
ya i started listening to them about that age.. nice to know that they havn't changed that much after like 10 albums
Almost 10 years ago ! Geeky band for Freaky Geeky Elmo Japanese makes you shiver out vanilla yogurt.
what is this comment even saying
i dont think ive ever seen a more real weezer than in this way. thanks so much for uploading
i love the stage and lights!!!!
dam this song brings back happy ass memories

Love Pink Floyd, love The wall (album), Love wish u were here (song), Love Comfortably Numb (song) and all of their other songs...
We all know that Pink Floyd best song is "I Can't Stop Partying" and their best albums is "Pacific Daydream"
@@emilioaladwhosintheinterne8421 help cant stop partying is actually so good thi
This is how I feel, bro. I haven't dislike ANY Weezer. Ever.
best guitar intro
they are so good live..one of the best.
Simply Amazing
Perfect live!
he is fucking awesome...
Great audio and vídeo...
Congratulations...
Weezer since 1995!
:)
2020 and nobody re-uploaded this videos of Fuji Rock in HD or HQ :(
Weezer is great.. ..awesome live performance 👍
@Trazosable
That's not just another drummer
It's Josh Freese on the drums...
That guy is a legend!
A Perfect Circle-The Vandals-Devo-GNR-and now Weezer.
The best rock drummer hands down!
Man, Rivers is awesome
Brian looks bored, Pat stole his swag.
nice live performance
guitar solo = epic
This was Important to me when it came out and it is still so relevant, I'm now 32. A great message about social conformity.
Weezer Is Just Weeze Without River's Legendary Guitar.

I didn’t know pat could play guitar
For some reason he’s been playing guitar for a while. I read it’s because Rivers doesn’t want to play while singing anymore but that could be bullshit.
07foxmulder He only did for a while in like 2009-2011 ish. He doesn’t anymore
He's apparently a better guitarist than Brian
“Maybe I could play the lead guitar and Pat could play the drums, take me back back to the shack”
great camera angles
They're coming to Jakarta, Indonesia 8th of Jan and im going... woooooooo
💜
How powerful do you think the distortion is on the pick-up Brian put in that acoustic? The choruses have a nice fuzz and I'm thinking it can't be mostly Pat.
The acoustic doesn't have any distortion
The acoustic does have distortion or even fuzz on it. Listen closely with headphones. The electric is panned right and the acousic left.
What's the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain
There's the pitch, slow and straight
All I have to do is swing
And I'm the hero
But I'm the zero
Hungry nights, once again
Now it's getting unbelievable
'Cause I could not have it better
But I just can't get no play
From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto
I just pass through
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Get your hands off the girl
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this excess company
Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander
Can you blame her?
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Tell me there's a logic out there
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come
Tell me there's some hope for me
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth, oh
Oh ho, ho ho, oh ho whoa

Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa, whoa oh

Mmmm the bass on the outro is orgasmic !

Rivers Cuomo = Rick Moranis... son iguales chabón !! Weezer, my favourite band !! Still waiting you guys in Buenos Aires !!
You can sell me a Weezer ticker just by this live performance.
they alternate for the fun of it......kinda wish more bands did that

Rivers in his forties yet manages to look this young
They should make a Pinkerton 2 or at least the Blue-er Album
i got raditude, kinda gave up on weezer's new stuff. And I bought/loved every single album before that.
