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.
Despite what Pitchfork or anyone else says, Weezer was a GREAT band in the 90s and have had their moments ever since. I remain hopeful that they come out with another solid album - Hurley was pretty close.
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.
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!
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!
here are true rockers there are so many bands that play live there album sounds good than when they go live there singers and back up singers cant sing and there instruments dont sound good but not weezer they know how to sing and play they rock :p
I can understand your frustration. You gotta go to some of their real old stuff. Go look up the blue album they put out back in '96; I think. You can listen to that whole album without skipping a track and you will be satisfied. That's the best assortment of music Weezer has ever put out. I hope that helps!
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.
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?

@breakingfame For almost all of their performances that aren't gonna be televised on like tonight show the drummer plays guitar and the drummer from a perfect circle drums for them
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.
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 I'm sure it has nothing to do with that being the band image they've held onto for the last 20-something years...

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
fair enough hombre
Oh hai mark
Oh hi Mark

im obbsessed with pork and beans its my favourite song ever of all time

i hope the white album was what you were looking for when you commented this a decade ago
In just two years, you’ll get EWBAitE, then the White Album, and then OK Human. Don’t worry.
@@MuseBySecrecy lol so true bestie
@@MuseBySecrecy you'll also get two pop albums, and a glam album
Maladroit and ewbaite are as good as the first two albums
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.
perfect situation is so much more emotional than a lot of their other songs

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
Unbelievable opening..maybe one of the best of all-time in Perfect Situation.

they are all very much still friends dude

this is such a good performance of both songs. I want to see them so bad.
LOVE HOW WE CAN HEAR THE BASS AND PIANO REALLY WELL
I love it when he talks Japanese.
i like how how the lead singer guitar has a thai world saying "foreigner" lol , awesome live show :D
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
Bro, Scott is JACKED
Rivers is a beautiful person inside and out..... he’s got the looks and he is the best songwriter that came out of the 90s
Man they sound great live!
holy shit they sound fucking awesome live
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
I miss this era, such an awesome vibe
pork and beans sound is amazing, amazing performance
gotta love rivers speaking in japanese for the singalong. that's a devotion to your fans of all nationalities right there. (: classy guy.
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
piano is a fantastic addition to this already great song
Great back vocals ! :)
He's speaking awesome Japanese!! wow
This whole concert looked like so much fun lol
i listen perfect situation when i'm still in jjunior high school, never forget this song
FUCKING GOOSEBUMBS. Man, when he talked in Japanese, and then everyone was like whoaa.
Killed me.
Once you give a drummer a taste of power he always wants more...
I like that they got Pat playing rythem guitar, and doing backup vocals.
PORK AND BEANS THE BEAST SONG OF WEEZER !!!!
Dat bass.
i dont think ive ever seen a more real weezer than in this way. thanks so much for uploading
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.
I think all of their albums are great.
Scott looks jacked! Dude eats his Pork and Beans.
It's cool seeing Pat on guitar. I'm used to seeing him on the drums.
Memory remains...
two of my fav songs

filling out an application to work at the Excess Company, wish me luck
I think is the best version for perfect situation
Great performance of Perfect Situation.. that's how you do it
ya i started listening to them about that age.. nice to know that they havn't changed that much after like 10 albums
best weezer song evar!
Rivers is so lovely nerd 😂❤️
i love the stage and lights!!!!
Almost 10 years ago ! Geeky band for Freaky Geeky Elmo Japanese makes you shiver out vanilla yogurt.
what is this comment even saying
This is how I feel, bro. I haven't dislike ANY Weezer. Ever.
Awesome Doesn't Age.
Great audio and vídeo...
Congratulations...
Weezer since 1995!
:)
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
they are so good live..one of the best.
Rivers is awesome. And I love his bald spot, it rules. :)
HELP
isnt it sweet how he learned some of their phrases for them Rivers is a nice guy :)
i just got tickets to see them!!
dam this song brings back happy ass memories
Perfect live!
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
@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!
best guitar intro
here are true rockers there are so many bands that play live there album sounds good than when they go live there singers and back up singers cant sing and there instruments dont sound good but not weezer they know how to sing and play they rock :p
Without the beans you have the horizon

@supermel9 Hmm thats weird I have a movie from 2001 in bluray format....oh how we are getting f*%ed with.
Pork and Beans starts at 5:25
Josh Freeze on the drums :D
From 1994 tell now Weezer is the best
Simply Amazing
he is fucking awesome...
Weezer is great.. ..awesome live performance 👍
4:23 through 4:48
I love it
I like theese boy's song, whenever
🐷"Butasan"🐷
Weezer Is Just Weeze Without River's Legendary Guitar.
nice live performance

I really like Weezer now ❤
Weezer rule.
Love "Perfect Situation"
My 1st Weezer video & so far I 👍
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.
와 진짜 라이브 존나 잘해서 항상 말도 안나옴 위저는... 보컬 생긴건 라이브 못할거 같은데 개잘하는게 반전ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

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

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh

Yup. Josh Freese drums with them on tour

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.
