    weezer getchoo live in the studio for fan club... super cool version just for the fans... brian is calling me out... let me make it clear that they are recording this live... so no jumping around in the studio... they did this with no overdubs... just once through, and thats the reason for the not so active rivers... this is a very hard thing to do, and they played it very good... not many bands can do this...!!!

    He spilled his entire heart and soul into a record and was embarrassed when everyone hated it at first. He put all of his insecurities out there and it was critically bashed. Rivers called it a "Drunken mistake". I completely understand why he hates it. Then, when he finally got around to writing more music, he starting writing soulless pop because thats what sells apparently, after all pinkerton didn't, and blue was a pop album. Then, everyone called rivers out for having no soul to his music.

      @kevwox 4 роки тому +23

      I believe that people called out the soulless music because Weezer/Rivers was not being true to themselves. Rivers is definitely a guy who can write fantastic pop songs, but he’s also a guy with some emotional baggage that is very meaningful. Trying to cover that up with the Green Album seemed kinda fake. Pinkerton has the best of both worlds.

      +Amanda Lucia meh, it's too whiny and dark. When I first started listening to it I thought it was their best album but then one time I was listening to it in the car while driving my friends and they were like "wtf is this shit? early emo?" and it made me think. It made me realize just how whiny the singing and lyrics really are - I was so captivated by the music at first that I overlooked it - and REALLY hate whiny singing from men. Pretty much the only whiny Music I "like" is from Weezer and Muse... they can somehow pull it off, but it's a HUGE turn off from me in general.
      Largely because of that, the abrasive sound and lack of rockability I rate Pinkerton as their third best album after Blue and Green.

    • @pocketpigeons

      Amanda Lucia early emo?Dude I was in high school when Weezer came out and they ain't emo.emo is young men crying for sure ,but Weezer is generally happy...their guitarist died ...that may have caused some sadder songs but I just looked at this by chance.im not a hardcore Weezer fan ,but buddy holly and that if you want to destroy my sweater song are not emo.they go for the nerd" buddy holly "look...it's their shtick.
      I guess you'll be calling Roy Orbison emo next lol smh.
      Being dark or sad doesn't immediately make you emo.
      Typo O negitive has some of the the saddest songs in modern music...they are GOTHIC but they are also metal/ rock and similar to Weezer don't scream like they want to cut their wrists which seems to be the ultimate definition of emo BESIDES hardcore dual guitar and drumming.old school emo was really a version of hardcore that got out of hand and became the retarded trash it's evolved into today.

Spew less nonsense and go broaden your musical horizons. Inform yourself about good bands before you try to make a point or else someone will really shit all over you.

      Best record of all time in my opinion. I think Weezer just existed for a moment in time and then moved on. When you are writing songs about being a poor, loner, young adult in unrequited love, it doesn't help your song writing when you get rich, famous, old and married.

    They are interfaces, so that each player can control their own foldback (monitor) levels... Headphone interfaces... Nice ones too by the look of it... the studio in miami that joe bonamassa recorded the first black country communion album uses the same ones. I've not been to a studio that uses them but thats because im in a very small time band that thinks they're gonna make it big... just like 78% of todays "youth"

    @kristophertellez They aren't a lazy rock band anymore because for them, that's unprofessional. They grew up and are playing their song in a studio without trying to do fancy tricks and show off.

    No he's not, he has a point. When Weezer reunited, it was with the premise that Pinkerton was an embarrassing pile of shit. They didn't want to play songs from it live and they sure as hell didn't want to make anything with a similar style. They've finally warmed up to it, but it took them more than a decade and now Rivers is rich married man with no worries. They still make a good tune every now and then, but it's still sad to think what could've been.

    @kristophertellez I know what you mean, man. But they're not troubled 26 year olds anymore. Most rock bands lose their ballsiness when they get older. The exception to the rule still seems to be the Foo Fighters, but that's for a different discussion. As far as weez goes, I just wish their albums had more yelling and tons of noisy feedback; that's what makes Pinkerton roar so much!

    @youman1996 I didn't call them lazy, just bored. If this is "professional" weezer and they weren't "professional" back when blue/pinkerton and a great amount of b-sides and rarities were released that are the foundation of this bands career. Give me the unprofessional band back. The one that was creative, original, had some emotion and balls. Not the band that has "grown up" into their 40's and sing about shopping in the mall or trippin' down the freeway. I'll take unprofessional weezer then.

Basically, you just do your best not to F up..haha

    @kvnknrd It might sound like I'm being a defensive fuck, but my long standing theory is that it was SO critically bashed that he's almost ashamed to play them in public. He bared his soul and got essentially laughed at. Nowadays its obviously looked at much much different but maybe its like a big fuck you to the numerous people that shot it down when it was first released.

    I watched a video of this song from the memories tour and the emotion was there. It made me very happy. I'm going to see them on a pinkerton night and I absolutely can not wait until I hear this song live. I really hope Rivers keeps the emotion that I saw in that last video (not this one, lol- it was not there AT ALL in this one)- he almost seemed embarrassed to do it like he did on the album.

    The entire time I was watching this, I couldn't believe how dead sounding it was. Pinkerton was very emotional and this has none of that emotion in it. What's the point of playing anything in the studio if you're not trying to make it sound good?
    In their defense, they're probably tired as hell of playing Pinkerton stuff for everyone the past 10 years :-)
