Rivers represents the incarnation of all people who are slightly disfunctional or awkward, he doesn't change for the fans or the time, he stays who he wants to be. And if thats is slightly awkward and human, then he's perfectly awesome to me.
Though i would say this is a bit too close to the original (in my opinion). Could`ve done more their own interpretation. Although great, it doesn`t really feel new.
Except the only person you see in this video in the band Weezer is Rivers Cuomo the lead singer. Hence him saying "Let's bring out the rest of the Weezer franchise" at the very end.
Benjamin Stahl Do you think Rivers would be the nerdy guy who knocks out his Highschool Bully for his future baby mama, or the type of nerdy guy to climb into a tree and be a pervy peeping tom?
I don't like Coldplay, but I love this cover. For some reason it makes me feel really nostalgic about old Weezer from the 1990s and when I was young and carefree. Freakin love Weezer.
i love how they have always done their own thing, meaning, they could have easily became a nostalgia act like everclear and what not. They went their own way
jordan blakeley Thats not freese. Freese is blonde and a lot older. Freese was the normal drummer for weezer for a part of time. Rivers wanted to be free on stage so pat took the guitar and freeze took the drums
I love rivers cuomo. i was born in 95' and had the wonderful opportunity to see him in cincinatti last year. I sang all the words to every song they played and could have cried
He always wanted to be a rockstar. A lot of us keep saying "pick up the guitar again, man!" but he really wants to enjoy connecting with the audience more because focusing on guitar takes a large part of your concentration. =w=
I love Weezer and forever will but i do miss Weezer being good, i havent yet listened to the Hurley album out of fear from my experience with Raditude that being said i love this video
I've seen Weezer a few times since the 90's for the blue lp tour, up til the tour after the teal lp was released. That teal album tour was amazing! They continuously sound great with age!
@topoyis - i know for the last two 2 two tours they had a Touring drummer with them. Patrick was pulling double duties of drums and guitar. They were all rocking the same outfits on stage for a few a while as well. I know they had Josh Freese (amazing drummer) out with em for a while, not sure if that's him or not though.
@McAdamskinsky Same here! At there concert in Boston, My Friend and I Were repeating all the messages off the "txt boards'. Everybody around hated us. Expect the friends next to us. We decided to do this because of awesome we felt for being there.
@tallperson1 IKR. I looove Weezer. I have (almost!!!!) all of their albums on my Ipod and the one(s) that aren't on my I have on CD. I love this song, and I love Rivers Cuomo's voice so I think it was perfect for them to cover this!!! ♥♥♥♥♥Weezer♥♥♥♥♥
@DominationUltimate They've actually written a song or two of their own. They made a whole album of songs called the Blue Album. You probably haven't heard of it because it is one of the best rock albums of the past 30 years.
lol I love this, been listening to this version on my ipod for a while, seeing it for the first time, the lyrics always got me wondering - pretty deep stuff , I love it how he reads the lyrics the performance nicely contrasts the pretentiousness of the lyrics:)
this kind of reminds me of a highschool talent show haha...all jokes aside this was pieced together greatly and rivers' vocals are great for the lyrics!!!
@geoprism930 I was replying to the people that have idea whatsoever and therefore attacked me. I was right though, in saying, Coldplay gets compensated. Also, of they don't get compensation they have to have permission. I did some research too
I'm so happy my little video gets so much attention. This was a super fun night and an Awesome show. Long Live Weezer. :)
checked out your website. You're hot lol :P
Wizard Venom Haha Thanks! Lol I just saw this comment. ☺
The toto Africa cover will push this songs into people's recommended lists thankfully the way it did to me
@@Tonisnightout how we can become friends?

He's reading these lyrics so it's basically karaoke. I've never seen anybody do karaoke this good.
I would pay to see Rivers and/or Weezer sing karaoke any day. And I hate karaoke, but Weezer...hey, what more to say?
@@rondohunter8966 yeah
It's just me or Weezer makes amazing covers???
+Frank Dam (Gaming) Not just you at all!
vaultec calling....yes
Though i would say this is a bit too close to the original (in my opinion). Could`ve done more their own interpretation. Although great, it doesn`t really feel new.
it's just you
africa!!!!!!!!!!!!
proper dad dance there
love it
Weezer is so popular and contemporary with those my age it's hard to believe how old the band is
Oh wow, a recent comment! I agree. They just get the teen dilemma in me, especially one as introvert as me, and it always amazes me.
God I love how into songs he’ll get with his dances and hand motions. It’s so great, dorky.
omg are they all wearing the same jacket they're such a dorky band i love them
Yesssss
glennahaha -- OH GOSH! I just saw that!!!! 😂🤣✨✨🐥
Triangle player letting the team down!

I always get the George McFly vibe from Rivers

The second one :)

This is where the Hurley deluxe track came from?
HE'S SUCH A NERD I WANT 10
+Cami Villegas They seem to like doing them. I love it.
Love how Weezer always seems like a regular band playing in a random bar but they are so awesome
What an amazing cover, you can tell he is singing from his heart and has so much passion. Go weezer (& coldplay)!
I almost died when I saw this. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands covered by another one of my favorite bands
i love how they have always done their own thing, meaning, they could have easily became a nostalgia act like everclear and what not. They went their own way
Rivers' hand motions are priceless, also who is on drums?
jordan blakeley Thats not freese. Freese is blonde and a lot older. Freese was the normal drummer for weezer for a part of time. Rivers wanted to be free on stage so pat took the guitar and freeze took the drums
+Detective Cactus Looks like Gavin from Rooster Teeth
F that, who's on chimes?

That girl in the background is totally checking rivers out 😂
Beautiful Song ...Beautiful Cover....Beautiful Band ....Life is Beautiful with WEEZER! 👊
3:55 "Gracias amigos" - "De nada" XD
holy shit Hectorlo is a Weezer fan confirmed??
XD
A really good song covered by a even more amazing band
I love rivers cuomo. i was born in 95' and had the wonderful opportunity to see him in cincinatti last year. I sang all the words to every song they played and could have cried

UA-cams recommendations putting in the work. This is amazing
Wow he didn't need the lyrics on a piece of paper for this
Yeah. Just the black stand he's reading from.
Ou8y2k2 LOL
3:14
How have I only seen this now. His voice works so well for this song, amazing. I hope to see Weezer on the east coast this year 🙏
He looks just like my Psychology teacher
No, your Physiology teacher looks like him.
TheGlowstoneGamers But they both look just like Buddy Holly.
That's nice of you to say
Lucky duck, if any of my teachers looked like Rivers i'd die. xD
Zeke McIlvain Lol I just read this and you win at the game of UA-cam
i love how weezer does so many covers
Love this, wish it was on the new album!
Love his fashion, too♡
Ahhh ~~ Rivers is so adorkable!!! I love that ❤️❤️✨✨❤️🐥
The fact he's reading lyrics makes him more adorable!
Love it! Thanks for posting
still love this video. Thank you
que bien les sale cada ves me gusta mas esta banda!
Such great vocals from Rivers here.
I love Weezer and forever will
but i do miss Weezer being good, i havent yet listened to the Hurley album out of fear from my experience with Raditude
that being said i love this video
one of those beautiful moments when the cover out-performs the original. long live Weezer!!
I'm in tears💔
I've seen Weezer a few times since the 90's for the blue lp tour, up til the tour after the teal lp was released. That teal album tour was amazing! They continuously sound great with age!
Seeing Weezer live for the first time next year 😊
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! Love Weezer!!!!!!!!
its nice to see one of my fav bands sing one of the songs of the great coldplay
I'll be straightforward: I like this version more than Coldplay's.
Same!!!!!
i cant wait to see them on june 2 2012!!!
the nerd part is what makes them cool they are themselves
I love how real weezer is and feels
Super cool
Beautiful
@topoyis - i know for the last two 2 two tours they had a Touring drummer with them. Patrick was pulling double duties of drums and guitar. They were all rocking the same outfits on stage for a few a while as well. I know they had Josh Freese (amazing drummer) out with em for a while, not sure if that's him or not though.
i love him
@timeflies91 yea Pat plays guitar on this album, but i thought they were touring with Josh Freese
love coldplay and weezer
this is the best quality of this video
Weezer without Pat on drums is just a Rivers solo act
Pat is on guitar, Brian is on piano, Scott is on bass. It’s a drummer to cover for Pat cause Pat is covering for Rivers
Not true.
But this needs more Josh Freese.
This is what musics about!! Fun!
This is the actual one in Hurley! Omg I love Rivers ♥
this guy is pitch-perfect without autotune
@McAdamskinsky Same here! At there concert in Boston, My Friend and I Were repeating all the messages off the "txt boards'. Everybody around hated us. Expect the friends next to us. We decided to do this because of awesome we felt for being there.

Amazing.
@tulocco they do that sometimes , but ive only seen it with that outfit . look up cant stop partying AOL sessions .
i just cried, this is way too good
Awesome !!
The girl playing the tubular bell is totally checking Rivers out lol
That awesome! I really like coldplay but that version is very good too!
Gonna see em in January!! With foo fighters!!! Woot!!!
@DominationUltimate They've actually written a song or two of their own. They made a whole album of songs called the Blue Album. You probably haven't heard of it because it is one of the best rock albums of the past 30 years.
he was wingin it
Wow, two things I love meshed together!
lol I love this, been listening to this version on my ipod for a while, seeing it for the first time, the lyrics always got me wondering - pretty deep stuff , I love it how he reads the lyrics the performance nicely contrasts the pretentiousness of the lyrics:)
He looks like a guy at a karaoke, he's the coolest
2:55 the "woooooaaah" started like half a second before the mic was near his mouth. Was he singing over the original song?
mate, it's the dude next to the guy who's recording.
didn't even think of that
Could be the drummer, too.
The Distinguished Wrestler are you dumb?
No, he was singing live. I was like a foot in front of his face.
this is awesome
I've never seen someone looks like the coolest person in the world while reading lyrics....until now.
*P*illars of sand, *P*illars of sand
amazing!
@Tuxiloo It almost looks like he's teasing Chris. Especially with the way he's performing it.
Great cover!
Such a good cover!!!! Plus, Rivers is fricken hilarious! hahaha
These Weezer Covers are...magical. Even the shittiest songs get some kind of sparkle when covered by Weezer. Thanks for that, guys!
This song in its original form truly is one of the shittiest songs ever known to man.
これはこれで好きだな。
So good
this kind of reminds me of a highschool talent show haha...all jokes aside this was pieced together greatly and rivers' vocals are great for the lyrics!!!
Weezer the international band. read for lyric viva la vida, the greatest song! kidding meee
bro she still liking comments after 12 years wow
The comments never stop! ❤🙃
give us a new album. your force is, your voice.
@TheSwordsman1995 this is more like a fun sing-a-long in the car. This isn't some serious cover. I think their ambitions were low.
gran cover
magical
me gusto como la canto ooo arriba coumo
this music is the inspiration of my life
awsome~
i swear he was drunk, but thats was still really amazing!
@geoprism930 I was replying to the people that have idea whatsoever and therefore attacked me. I was right though, in saying, Coldplay gets compensated. Also, of they don't get compensation they have to have permission. I did some research too
so love this guy ;p !!
The bagpipes sound amazing!
YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
this is so good! Aww look at there matching jackets :L xx
This is awesome
