Some fans seem to just refuse to be satisfied until Weezer goes back to the Blue Album sound. Which is pointless...Rivers is not going to be writing the same style songs and same type of lyrics he wrote 15 years ago. It'd be ridiculous to expect that of him, you know? Oh well, I'm glad to find other fans that appreciate the new albums as well! :o)
I remember listening to this song about 1 r 2 years ago while taking the shuttle with a bunch of people that I really can't get along with at work, listening to this really put me at ease.
Yeah, it definitely is! It really sucks that a lot of people put down Weezer's newer stuff. I love all of their albums and I don't think the new albums are less in quality by any means, I think they're just a different musical direction, but at the core, it's still Weezer.
I know, I'm completely obsessed, it sounds so good! Everyone is so happy Rivers shaved the stache, it's funny. The mustache amused me, and it's sentiment was sweet, so it grew on me and I actually didn't mind it. I will say that I do prefer him without it though, I kind of forgot how young he looks! lol He looks amazing in those videos, but I also miss the glasses. Definitely go with the stickers on the guitar, even if the Guitar Center guy gives you a weird look, it's totally cool and badass.
I completely agree! I've been trying to urge everyone to buy the mp3s off of Amazon. You can't beat the price, and they sound so good with the vocal harmonies!
Thanks, you too! And yes, I'm sure that's exactly what everyone will be saying. And then they'll be disappointed. Rivers is 38 now, he's grown as a person and as a musician, so his songwriting style is different now, and as you said, has evolved. People just don't get it. By the way, have you seen Rivers' new stereogum videos? Someone posted them on youtube...they're amazing!
I love this song and I love this band, It's a unique take on a song I love so much that it never gets old compared to other traditional christmas songs. Powerful stuff. I even hum this one in the summer times :)
You know those moments in the movies, when the main character realizes the true meaning of Christmas? I think I just had one of those moments, whilst listening to this tune. =w=
Wow to cool! Great version! And a smart disclaimer too in the info box, I probably would have never heard this if you didn't post, I don't own an iphone or ipod. So Thank You
if i was playing wow i would say weezer= iwin button. they could sing anything and make it sound like this and be awesome. this style is so taken for granted now. nerdcore ftw
Yay a fellow Red Album fan!! haha I think it's really great, fun stuff. I think all of their albums are fantastic in their own way, I don't get why so many people bitch about post-Pinkerton Weezer, you know? Oh well.
I think this rendition is wonderful... just as powerful as any other. Merry Christmas :) To the kids asking for tabs and chords... figure it out. You can do it. :)
the as tall as lions version is great, this is good, but Caliver is excellent!!! Just put up a new song called "In Memory" Check it outttt ua-cam.com/video/3j9IahpRHB0/v-deo.html

This song helped me through a difficult time in my life.
Beautiful music, thanks
Excellent version!
this is one of my favorite songs of all time, and this version is one of the finest and most emotionally affecting of any i've heard. bravo ween.
It hits the most for me at "fall on your knees, o hear the angels voice.
This song is perfectly fit for Weezer. It really brings the Christmas spirit to me too.
Rivers's fat suit.... Priceless.
13ish years later, im here. waiting for christmas so I can listen to these songs accordingly :,)

No idea why I love this song so much but it bring tears to my eyes every time!
I have heard this sang classically, and then in German, and now as this...
I don't think I could love Weezer anymore and then I hear this. Beautiful

I heard Weezer's version of O Holy Night on Raising Hope. I had never heard their version before. Awesome cover!
I completely agree! I've been trying to urge everyone to buy the mp3s off of Amazon. You can't beat the price, and they sound so good with the vocal harmonies!
I was thinking that, too. And they didn't do any crazy yelling either. It's actually very enjoyable!
Very nice! O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. I've many good versions and I am pleasantly surprised at the coolness of this rock rendition.
Thanks, you too! And yes, I'm sure that's exactly what everyone will be saying. And then they'll be disappointed. Rivers is 38 now, he's grown as a person and as a musician, so his songwriting style is different now, and as you said, has evolved. People just don't get it.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who actually loves the Red Album. lol Glad you guys are enjoying these carols though!
Wow, this song gave me chills as it should have.
Beautiful cover.
Yeah, I love the balance between keeping it traditional, yet making it completely their own.
You know those moments in the movies, when the main character realizes the true meaning of Christmas? I think I just had one of those moments, whilst listening to this tune. =w=
@iGerome I was trying to remember where I had heard their version of the song before yes now I remember I heard it first from that show too!
Wow to cool! Great version! And a smart disclaimer too in the info box, I probably would have never heard this if you didn't post, I don't own an iphone or ipod. So Thank You
if i was playing wow i would say weezer= iwin button. they could sing anything and make it sound like this and be awesome. this style is so taken for granted now. nerdcore ftw

Love this... AWESOME!! Thanks!

Nerdcore...wow, never thought about it that way. Cool! That's geekster! LOL
