I can't imagine what weezer with Mikey would've been. Like if he didn't have to leave. He definitely brought a different feel to the group and he is a really awesome bassist. Scott does good don't get me wrong but it's more a personality thing
Mikey seemed so nice and awesome! I feel if he was still around they would have had a different sound but if Matt was still there they would just pump out hit after hit!
I've been a Weezer fan for a long time now, and I used to share that sentiment, but you realize eventually that it's all Rivers. Matt being there or not really doesn't make a difference with respect to the music, though he was a kickass dude and was far more than some background bass player (he yearned to be a frontman, hence the Rentals). RIP Mikey
Blue is weezers best in my opinion and Matt would have kept Rivers on check meaning no Ratitude. Also Rivers would have done songs from the black hole if Matt hadn't used that sound on The rentals. Matt easily also had the best charisma in the band. He also personified geek chic. Pinkerton is great btw but especially hailed because of its cult legend status. Blues songs are just as good and some even better
Jack Johnson the thing you are missing is that Matt acted like a filter, in that, if Rivers had wanted to move in the more modern poppy Weezer direction Matt would have said no and opposed it. That’s why he was fired, because he would voice opinions. Pat said when the green album came out that he was only staying for the money, because he didn’t like the musical direction. It’s obvious that Pat and Beff and Scott just go with whatever Rivers wants, for the paycheck. Matt wouldn’t have, that’s the value of Matt. But Rivers decided to take complete control instead.
If you'd never seen/heard of Weezer before this video, you'd be forgiven for thinking Mikey was the frontman...
tommykl this is such a true comment. Best one so far
Very charismatic.
Yeah, it's a real shame he's gone now. Rest in peace Mikey.
And Rivers is just a bass player, who recently joined a band
Rivers said three words in this entire interview
Rivers feels very uncomfy

I would agree but you’re a furry

I know right Matt fucked almost everything up by leaving
Mikey was the coolest member of Weezer
I think it’s because both he and Sharp looked the most disinterested
@@Fakename70 Mikey didn’t look disinterested
mikey was hilarious omg

Damn Mikey really be lookin like Syd Barrett here. And he also landed in the ward and ditched music for art.
