@@Abby-dc6is it's not sexism. Rivers had just gone through an intense surgery on his leg and was depressed due to the pain it cause him. He locked himself away for over a year and pinkerton's lyrics are a product of his mindset at the time. This was a man in his prime unable to do anything, meet women, rock out etc. Pinkerton isn't sexist, it's a deep exploration into a broken man's mind
@@Petmyhead Yeah, I never noticed anything bad in Pinkerton besides rivers seeming a lot sadder. Thank you for giving me for info. I'm still getting into Pinkerton.
Bro the song the world has turned and left me here is the oldest Weezer song. He wrote it before he was in the band...also Jason Cropper wrote a lot of what’s on the Blue album, look him up
I don't get the criticism towards his lyrics in Pinkerton everyone has rude unfiltered thoughts and prejudice towards things it just weirds everyone out because rivers is the only one who can shine light and face the prejudices and bad thoughts within himself and acknowledge them
Patrick Wilson caught a frisbee during Beverly Hills without missing a beat at a show in St. Augustine, Florida. It was awesome and one of the coolest things to have witnessed in person. Look up the video, epic!
2:50 I like how they didn't insult the Monkees like most would, they just mentioned that the Monkees were thought of as manufactured (they were, but they gained complete control by "Headquarters", their 3rd album). Also, this comparison between Weezer and the Monkees is more apt than one may think. Rivers went to E. O. Smith High School in Storrs, CT, the same high school that Monkee Peter Tork went to. Plus, Rivers wrote a song for the Monkees 2016 album, and said that they were an influence and inspiration to him in the notes for it.
Wow, I’ve been a Weezer fan since the 90’s, but you just taught me something I didn’t know. I am from Willimantic, CT and my mom worked at E.O. Smith! I had no idea Rivers ever lived in the area. I did know about Peter Tork, because incidentally, my mom met him before the Monkees blew up and had a huge crush on him, and then met him again a few years later when they were on tour and he recognized her from Storrs.
Why doesn’t anyone ever mention Rivers not wearing his glasses and NOT looking like Buddy Holly ONLY in the Buddy Holly video? Ok, it’s obvious irony, but I’ve never ever heard any ever mention it.
So true! It’s so annoying to be looking at weezer content and they start shitting on weezer, like if you hate them so much stop interacting with stuff involving them.
So he didn’t get his nickname bc of asthma. That is false. Rivers says in an interview himself that the name weezer was a nickname his dad gave him when he was little, like 4 years old. His dad got it from the little rascals and told rivers he called him that because weezer was the cool one in the show…
Their lack of previous independent releases and fast rise to fame was called the "your first album was the blue album, and the first 3 singles anyone ever heard were the sweater song, buddy holly, and say it ain't so' ... so no shit you got huge" rise to fame.. so there's that.
Bottom right, Bryn Mutch, my highwchool librarian. I have heard so many stories from him bro. Avant Garde low key was really ass but he killed it in drums. I don’t know how to time stamp but the photo is where rivers is top left in his high school band
In what world is Pinkerton offensive and sexist? Even in anything done after that, the lyrics are admitting fault and failure with women, not blaming them. Why does everything need to be ruined with "allegations?" So you can't write about an ex-girlfriend because it's "sexist?" That is suppression.
You got the Weezer part wrong. His dad named him after one of the little rascals, he said he thought Weezer was the coolest. Rivers said this on a Conan interview himself.
can we get a video about how pat wilson stopped playing drums for a little. I always wondered why he started playing guitar and then why he went back to the drums when EWBAITE came out
I remember reading a comment on some weeper video about 9 years ago that said something like: “I like to pretend that the real Weezer died in a plane crash in 1996 after Pinkerton and the only way you can see whatever it is that’s pretending to be them now is through a special pair of sunglasses.” I thought that was hilarious. Because the drop off after that album has been major. I did like Everything Will Be Alright In The End though.
There is so much false information and blatant lies in this video, it’s insane. Clearly no research was done for this video and it was just shat out for money...
When a non fan starts the video and they bring up the name Weezer and you think to yourself that weezer sounded to you like the sound people with asthma make during an attack immediately....haha
@@mangocup5322 weezer fans often have this sorta self deprecating humor and a lot of them hate the new stuff so they make jokes hating on weezer because of the type of humor they have.
Whoops! We pointed to the wrong guy in the photo of Avant Garde. Sorry about that!
Boy.
Human be humans bro. No problem.
Hey guys. The Nirvana single is Sliver not Silver.
Haha, I scrolled to the comments to see if anyone else noticed.
Same lol
Another fun fact: Before Weezer, there was Weeze. True story.
Matthew Bittenbender well that’s just from a song
Beyblade Passion it’s joke. Thought it was obvious. Oh well.
this is sort of unrealated but perfect situation is the best song on make believe
@@woodpancakes5266 ok
No there was Kurt cobin
I don't care what they say about us anyway. I don't care about that.
What's with these homies dissin' my girl
What did I ever do to these guys dudududulu
Woohoo and you know I’m yours
@@SuperKarat woohoo and ik you're mine

Lol imagine being offended by weezer
I haven't even noticed sexism at all in pinkerton?? If anyone could point examples to me I'd be blown away

@@Abby-dc6is the fact that the album is from his soul makes it weezer's best in my opinion. He poured everything into it.
@G00SE That song is about him falling in love with a girl at Harvard, only to find out she's a lesbian. Nothing about that song is sexist.
Dawg
1:17 Thats Rivers in the middle.
Ahahahaha
I didn't make it that far.
Yeah I saw that too
I was never a huge fan until I worked as crew member for a couple of their shows and ran spot lights for them. They are great live. Now I'm a fan
That is amazing
9:00 dosent taylor swift do the same thing to males in the lyrics of her songs that are directed to her ex's etc?
Damn, really just put Rivers down the entire video.
They're definitely one of the quirkiest bands out there.
I wouldn't go that far lol
I cringed so hard when he said “silver” instead of sliver
Ranchz amd this channel is called “grunge”, yet it never talks/makes a video about any of the grunge bands/pays respect and recognition.
fr

his only writing credit is for the flatpicking intro to my name is jonas tho
Can you like not talk like this? Can you go 10 seconds without comparing them to another band?
5:50 and 6:45
he's got posters on his wall... His favorite rock group kiss... HES GOT ACE FREHLEY HES GOT PETER CRISS
I don't get the criticism towards his lyrics in Pinkerton everyone has rude unfiltered thoughts and prejudice towards things it just weirds everyone out because rivers is the only one who can shine light and face the prejudices and bad thoughts within himself and acknowledge them
Can somebody please tell me where the sexist lyrics are on Pinkerton. I’ve been trying to find them for years.
By their definition of "sexist", most of the Beatles' catalog would be deemed very misogynistic.
I enjoy Weezer very much.
I can understand disliking a band, but offering them $10 million to breakup? Live and let live people lol
Alternative title: Compare weezer to other bands and put down rivers with nonsense for 11 minutes
Wasnt a big fan of weezer but after seeing them live at hellamega tour that changed. Thought they would be boring. It was amazing. I loved it
same here
I like how when it showed rivers old metal band they pointed an arrow at the wrong guy

The last weezer concert I went to the pixies opened for them so
Same!
WOW
Both great bands imo
Pixies are a real band & =w= is a joke that’s not funny so
@@DennisMHenderson bro this was 2 years ago. I don’t think people should take your opinion on relevancy and taste
Why doesn’t anyone ever mention Rivers not wearing his glasses and NOT looking like Buddy Holly ONLY in the Buddy Holly video? Ok, it’s obvious irony, but I’ve never ever heard any ever mention it.
Blue Album is perfection, it gives me such a good nostalgic feeling :)
It hit that 90s rock sweet spot. Say it ain’t so and buddy Holly are just legendary song and production
People who actively hate Weezer are waaaay more cringier than Weezer.
So true! It’s so annoying to be looking at weezer content and they start shitting on weezer, like if you hate them so much stop interacting with stuff involving them.
5:28 it’s actually Sliver
channel never makes a vid about any grunge bands yet it’s called “grunge”
he called Nirvana's song sliver, "silver"

Yall pointed to the wrong dude in the avant garde picture. the guy next to the arrow is rivers. Its like yall didnt even look.
Thanks for repeating yourself numerous times, and for telling us what we already knew, basically just quoted rolling stone
Blue album & Pinkerton with Matt sharp are the best and also the return of the rentals!
Their lack of previous independent releases and fast rise to fame was called the "your first album was the blue album, and the first 3 singles anyone ever heard were the sweater song, buddy holly, and say it ain't so' ... so no shit you got huge" rise to fame.. so there's that.
Memories, make us want to go back there, back there.

It's Sliver not Silver (Nirvana song)
You can’t be serious with this video
r u the real Weezer irony 👉👈
yo i follow u on insta
They took their car to work , I took my board 🛹
Bro rivers doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.
You forgot to mention frontman Kurt Cobain
In what world is Pinkerton offensive and sexist? Even in anything done after that, the lyrics are admitting fault and failure with women, not blaming them. Why does everything need to be ruined with "allegations?" So you can't write about an ex-girlfriend because it's "sexist?" That is suppression.
Fun fact, Rivers did NOT use a big Muff or any pedals in Blue
You got the Weezer part wrong. His dad named him after one of the little rascals, he said he thought Weezer was the coolest. Rivers said this on a Conan interview himself.
Buddy holly had the hook of the decade
Was sad to see his Dee Dee Ramone haircut go away 😝
can we get a video about how pat wilson stopped playing drums for a little. I always wondered why he started playing guitar and then why he went back to the drums when EWBAITE came out
ONLY IN DREAMS is a song that's very dear to me.
Didn't like buddy Holly the tune say it ain't so made me a fan now I literally love everything they do yes even the black album
i love how in the avant garde photo, the arrow isn’t even pointing at rivers lmao
Yeah I was like that not Rivers! You’d think they’d know that!
I like weezer usually, relatable to many, and many great singles
People get weezer and wheatus muddled up which is annoying as they are two different bands
5:43 plus rivers is the secret reincarnation of Kurt Cobain
I remember reading a comment on some weeper video about 9 years ago that said something like:

Love well more than love WEEZER. ALL THE BAND. MY CHILDHOOD MAN. CRAZY 😜
Silver, eh? I'm a Sliver gal myself.
SMH. Hire new editors. JC.
this is perhaps the worst video i’ve ever seen
Weezer is Weezer, there is no secret.
Pinkerton is their emo album. Emo music is known to being a bit misogynistic. It was the mid-90s. It's still their best album though.
Dom Menace 226 My favorite album of theirs and it always has been
*I'm just a teenage dirt bag.......*
*Oh wait*
Two really good albums: blue album and Pinkerton
pinkerton is a work of genius
the song is called SLIVER😂
I’m here because their concert I was supposed be going to got canceled
Comparing weezer to the pixies is like comparing gold to dog shit, pixies are trash
You didn't mention Weird Al Yankovic playing Rivers in the song Africa by Toto.
Are we gonna talk about how they showed a clip of Weird Al dressed as Rivers in their music video for Africa? Lol
~Europa Luna~
Ghosts
Weapons
Slave to the King.
There is so much false information and blatant lies in this video, it’s insane. Clearly no research was done for this video and it was just shat out for money...
Facts
Thank god I'm not the only one who has accidentally called the Nirvana song Silver instead of Sliver
Looking forward to Hello Mega in Toronto (hopefully) in August.
Corona says nope.
@@jerotoro2021 ah well, maybe it gets to be the 61st birthday present next year instead of the 60th this year.
Homeboy said, "Silver". Ouch...
so what is the untold truth about Weezer?
Wow Grunge....do better. This was a waste of time.
When a non fan starts the video and they bring up the name Weezer and you think to yourself that weezer sounded to you like the sound people with asthma make during an attack immediately....haha
I'm the only one who doesn't like Pinkerton because of its mean-spirited, immature, and sexist lyrics
Not a single mention of Matt Sharp
It’s SLIVER not SILVER by Nirvana
The only track anyone knows of Weezer is Teenage Dirt Bag! And they didn’t even do that! Utter crap.
kurt still gettin the posers with sliver
You really dropped the ball at the end there.
No one thinks Rivers' lyrics are misogynistic.
That’s a original sipa sipa crochet hacky sack 🙃🤓
5:24sLiver SLIVER NOT SILVER (as a nirvana song i am screming)
the kings of virginity
It's Sliver not Silver
You call your channel grunge but you don’t know that nirvana song is actually called sLiver not silver. SMH
5:25 SLIVER*
Fun fact: Every Weezer fan hates Weezer.
?
im confused did i miss smthn
@@mangocup5322 weezer fans often have this sorta self deprecating humor and a lot of them hate the new stuff so they make jokes hating on weezer because of the type of humor they have.
Which story about the band name is true?
I was expecting sliver, then silver came out
Is Cuomo related to the former NY Governor?
50 % of comments. It’s sliver man not silver
The lead singer reminds me of Rick Moraines
Cant believe what they've turned into. At least they aren't as bad as green day got but man it's just not the same
Ha! This sucks!!
What is the song playing in the background throughout the video?
Emily Grauf it’s just a random non copyrighted song from UA-cam song
Nailed the "Woha"
Dude Rivers is an angle, your grasping at straws😂
angel..... and no, Rivers is not an angel
The less I know about this band...the better.
