Weezer - My Name Is Jonas (The Kitchen Tape)

- On May 10, 1994, DGC Records released “Weezer”, the self-titled debut album by Weezer. The story has been told and re-told many times, but the crux of it was that no one thought it would do very well, even though all the band and the band’s small inner circle felt they’d made a really good album. The assumption was that people would say “who?” and laugh at the audacity of a new band putting out a debut album on a major label, with no fan base, no single out, nothing.
And… that’s exactly what happened! For a while anyway. 90 copies sold the first week (just who were the 45 people we didn’t know who had bought it knowing nothing about the contents?), and a steady trickle after that, as we drove around in our van playing such illustrious gigs as opening up for a screening of “Rollerball”, playing an actual battle of the bands (and not winning), and playing for less than 0 paying customers (it’s unclear how we got to “-2 sold”, but that’s what the promoter said…)
Finally, after a few months, 107 The End in Seattle started playing “Undone”. Before that only a handful of college stations were even dabbling with the record. Things escalated quickly after that. KROQ Los Angeles added Undone, Undone got a video which MTV played, opening for Lush, lines of kids at the shows, switching from van to bus to keep up with the schedule, opening for Live, Buddy Holly video… and so on - and on, and on!
What else is there to say but thank you for the decades of love and support from all the fans, colleagues, friends and family?
Well, there is something else to say, in fact!
The Blue Album was Weezer‘s first album of course, but it wasn’t their first attempt at making an album. Check out this recording of "My Name Is Jonas" from what became known as "The Kitchen Tape", recorded in the summer of 1992 at our home/rehearsal space in West LA. Most of the self produced Kitchen Tape songs have never been officially released, including this song. Happy 30th birthday to the Blue Album! We’re working on a special release to celebrate, but more on that soon. For now, enjoy this, give the blue album a spin today, and we’ll see you on the Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour this fall. #bluealbum #voyagetotheblueplanet #karlscorner

You KNOW its the Kitchen Tapes with that distinct drum sound
I thought the garbage disposal in the background said kitchen tape
Yeah
Kitchen Drums
(literal kitchen drums. that's why it's called the kitchen tape)
Demo drums
*Tape
I JUST WEEZERED ALL OVER THE PLACE THIS IS GOOD
Pause ⏸️😂😂😂😂😂😂.

We need a complete release of the remastered kitchen tape
Agreed!
the whole thing is out there and sounds about as good as this.
@@runnersdialzero1244I meant a proper release, Physical and preferably on streaming as well
There's a fan made remaster on youtube ua-cam.com/video/Hd8-TyPnKlU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=jeff9000
THIS!
YES BLUE ALBUM SUPER DELUXE🎉🎉🎉🎉
30 years of blue album and it still hits just as hard ESPECIALLY those raw vocals this year is a blessing for us Weezer fans man ! =w=
Not only do I thoroughly enjoy Weezer's music, but I really respect them just as regular guys. They've always been appreciative of their fans, even putting them in their videos. I could go on and on, but Weezer fan know what I'm talking about.
Here, Here!
For real bro, proud to be a Weezer fan
One of the best albums of all time. Certified hood classic, 10/10.
The 1st concert I ever went to was Weezer, right after the video for the sweater song came out. The played the blue album all the way through. Still 1 of my favorite concert experiences ever. The whole setup wad exactly like it was on the inside cd cover. Shotout orange amps
The only hood this would be a classic would be a gated community
@@SqueakyMcSqueaksyou'd be surprised
Congrats Weezer people. I clearly remember driving to Belgium in ‘94 for holidays with my wife and 1 year old daughter and Undone coming on the radio. I made my wife write down title and band. Back in Holland i immediately bought the album. It took 25 years or so to finally see them live in Amsterdam, together with my daughter. It’s crazy and awesome how Weezer has always - sometimes less, sometimes more - been part of our lives. Love you!
(Also Mykel and Carli 🥲)
It doesn't matter where you were in the world. When you heard this for the first time in the car....
OFFICALLY RELEASED KITCHEN TAPES 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No way his name was Weezer all along this changes everything
I love the lack of restraint from Rivers vocals in this. Shows he had the same excitement I do when I sing along in my car 😅
this is the embodiment of what Weezer is about, The true nerdy garage rock that they stand for
"my name is weezer..." and the rest is history
=w=
happy 30th blue album. thanks for changing the world rivers and company!!! 💙
ugh this is such a good take the drums are so crispy and rivers has that rawness in his voice. it sounds even better cus it's officially uploaded on here hahaha
Got me weezin in the AM
This song reminds me of simpler times, being a little kid and listening to blue album with my dad. I’m so excited to see my first Weezer concert later this year! One of the first bands I ever listened to
Being born a month after blue album released, i have these same memories. Cool to see someone else with a similar childhood
THE WAY I STARTED BAWLING MY EYES OUT ,, I LOVE WEEZER . HOPEFULLY SEEING IN GLASGOW 🙏🙏
WOOO SEE YOU THEREEE
PAIGGeeEE
@@notrivers_ OHEMGEE HAII
YESSS HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY BLUE ALBUM!!! =w=
30 years guys (can we just appreciate how weezer never fails to fill us with their good songs 😊)
I moved to LA in the summer of 1993 and bought this album (CD) sometime in the summer of '94 at the Tower Records on Sunset. Great memories.
Absolute favorite album of all-time. I had only heard Undone when I bought the CD and from the first track it was exceptional. I fell in love and have been following ever since 1994.
Happy Birthday, Blue Album!
At release time I just called it self-titled as I had no idea color was going to be such a prominent differentiator.
Excited for Blue Superdeluxe, I hope it contains the full Kitchen Tapes on vinyl
That would especially be cool!
I will buy that immediately
Yes, exactly!
I distinctly remember the first time I heard Undone on the radio when I was 14. It caught my attention. After that, I always waited to hear it come on again. Soon Surf Wax America and Say It Ain't So started playing too, and I was hooked. The Blue Album was one of the first CDs I ever bought and I've never looked back. Through all the Weezer songs and albums I've loved since then, The Blue Album still brings back some really great feelings every single time I listen to it. Thank you, Weezer.
That opening riff just gets me every time
i believe I bought a "Radio Promo" cd from a record store in a basement in Omaha right before or right after it came out. Cost me $2. And i only bought it cuz i saw in the liner notes, (that I read as it was unwrapped and open) that they recorded at Electric Lady Studios in NYC. Being a big Hendrix fan, I thought I could take a chance with my 2 bucks. Couldn't believe how amazing it was. I forced anyone who would listen to borrow it. Made quite a few fans before the Undone video came out - In Omaha, anyway. thank you guys for the music. lifelong fan here.
I had no idea y'all opened for Lush. Thanks for the reminder; I just found the "Ladykillers" video for the first time. Underrated song for sure.
Even as a demo, you can tell that this song was something special. Happy 30th anniversary Blue Album!
YEAH 30 YEARS AND STILL MAKING GREAT MUSIC!!!
Thanks for posting this I love it. I am so glad you guys stuck through those first months. And, thank you to DGC for taking a chance with you. Weezer Rocks!
This song is great. I can't believe it was never released. You should re-record it and release it as a single.
i hate myself for not being able to go to the tour :(
Amazing reverse birthday present weezer thank you
Happy 30th birthday Blue Album!
This is an amazing mix. Such a good sound for a demo recording, but still delivers the energy.
im so in love with the little "my name is weezer"
YOOO!! THIS IS A BANGA 💯💯💯
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 THE BLUE ALBUM !!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARYYY
30 YEARS AND STILL A BANGER !!
they played around LA for a while before the release and it was obvious they were going to be huge
biblical
WE BE MAKIN IT TO THE BLUE PLANET WITH THIS ONE 🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
KITCHEN TAPES!!!!!!
Happy 30 blue album!!!!
THANKS FOR ALL YOU'VE SHOWN US 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This makes me so nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born yet and that's saying something.
Holy smoke! This may seem sacrilege to some, but I just about prefer this early run-through of "Jonas" to the relatively more polished studio version that opens up the Blue album proper. To my ears anyway, it possesses a rawness that almost foreshadows what was to come later with "Pinkerton". Hoping More of the Kitchen Tape sessions will be included with the Super Deluxe 30th anniversary edition once its done and ready to drop!
It's pretty cool sounding, I agree. I think I still love the triumphant feel of the album version, but this is great.
30th anni deluxe needs Thief and Colmusheen badly!!!
I didn't expect to be crying to Weezer this morning 😊❤🎉 classic
KITCHEN TAPES OFFICIAL RELEASE PLEEEEEASE
More dates please! St. Louis, cough cough.
Happy 30th years! And so on part continues played in overseas. I clearly remember WEEZER came on MTV in Japan. =W=
Across the sea
Early birthday gift much appreciated Boys. Thank you from the bottom of my Gen X Heart! No matter how old I get, the blue album brings me back to my youth💙
The good ol days of being 0-4 yrs old 😭 Nothing takes me back like Weezer
And i’m carrying the wheel
This is full of angst and raw.
Oh my goodness this dropping is the most random surprise ever but it has just made my day
The drums are so good in this.
30 YEARS TO THE BLUE ALBUM!!!
A couple years ago some girl in my class insisted the teacher play buddy holly for the class, and since then I’ve listened to nothing but Weezer! This band is insane and just perfect for me! Hope to see y’all in Toronto!
Nice "story", but unfortunately is false. Only virgin white boys listen to weezer
We live in a world where weezer officially releaased this
happy 30th anniversary weezer!
I really wheezed when I saw this… I wheeze for weezer man 😎
Happy 30th anniversary everyone 😫
Dang its been 3 months since i stumbled on weezer
Thank you for this masterpiece ❤
Not just the drums,the vocals are different and and the guitar isnt tweaked yet but its got that great Weezer energy
I’ve only ever been to two concerts “alone” in my life. Weezer at the boathouse for the Pinkerton album and collective souls for their sophomore album tour. I’ll never forgot weezer, always been a fan and always will be.
Please release all the kitchen tapes.

Happy birthday blue 💙💙💙💙. I have favorite albums and then there are albums like Blue that go beyond just being favorites. It's part of my life in a way very few collections of sounds could ever be. It's ever-present. It floats in the air with molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
'My name is.... Weezer....."🗣🗣 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it, hoping to hear more of the kitchen tape in the near future.
So sick. This album meant so much to me growing up…and still does. Was listening to only in dreams omwh today
Happy 30 years
Thank you 🙏🏼 for it all. I have always needed these songs ❤ please come back to New Zealand 😊 and play.
if super deluxe is real i gotta cop it
This is a great version! Love the roughness, the vocal performance, the looseness of it all.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE KITCHEN WITH THIS ONE
Still my favorite song ❤
I LOVE THISS did jason cropper played in this demo??
I LOVE YOU WEEZER
I guess this means we’re getting another blue deluxe 😭 I wanted ewbaite
