Rivers Cuomo -periscope 03-04-18 - Pink Triangle, Magic, Champagne, Falling for you, Religion, Today

[@tonyhall3365]

one of the most under rated guitarists of his entire generation

[@smokesgtp]

He is a very decent technical player.

[@gavingrant8254]

and your favorite soccer team is the most overrated

[@burnstjamp]

Blue and Pinkerton are two of the most popular and acclaimed albums of the 90's, and even the subsequent, less popular albums make tons of money and had either plenty of radio play or very high review scores. He isn't unpopular and he definitely isn't "Underrated"

[@pinkrtn]

@@burnstjamp nowadays people downplay the band in general because "it's weezer"

[@jewell898]

Man pink triangles progressions are still some of the absolute best

[@paulyplatinum127]

especially the stuff after the second chorus

[@fmcjake1836]

So nobody gonna talk about how beautiful the pink triangle solo is on piano?

[@uruseifuzzbox]

He has written some of the greatest songs of my generation and he is just a normal, down to earth bloke. How cool is that?

[@samieeryelillarasan2249]

did u go into his room and read his diary?

[@No-hb9is]

@@samieeryelillarasan2249 he probably did with his pinkerton diaries

[@SnackGodd]

[@Sliver90]

How did you forgot to mention he plays "In The Garage" solo part, but you including "Perfect Situation"

[@edwardkent4184]

Thanks for the inside look Rivers. I'm a huge fan of you and Weezer. I saw you guy's in Napa at the Silverado Resort, two day's before the big fire. It was my first time. I'm a 64 year old rocker and think you're talent as one of America's great song writers is under appreciated. It's hard for me to get excited about new music, so I wait with great anticipation when I hear about new stuff from you and Weezer. Thank you.

[@trDewy]

Edward Kent will ya still need me, will ya still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

[@telepathos]

I truly wish he would let those fingers fly around the fret board more during his solos. I think if you're a fan, you probably know that he can really shred. Please Rivers, more fiery solos. You're good enough that they won't end up sound like metal. I love the fast picking on Dope Nose, and that doesn't sound metal; it just sounds like a great rock song. Heck, throw some tapping in there too. Orianthi is pretty good at putting that stuff in pop songs in a way that doesn't sound metal.

[@sillyrabbit190]

telepathos Sir you predicted Van Weezer

[@andrewunknown111]

Thoughts on Van Weezer

[@jasminahilpalin23]

Falling for you is perfection. Rivers, your voice is amazing.

[@samcarey2001]

Was NOT expecting him to sing B.O.B.’s verse in Magic lmaooooo

[@trDewy]

Rivers is an artistic genius!

[@donufro]

It would be nice to hear more flavorful guitar work like this on future albums

[@darioramonetti1483]

He is an absolute god playing guitar. So underated

[@matthewmains2462]

He played a bit of "Perfect Situation" before "Pink Triangle," too.

[@Dartrook]

when?

[@Ahposnosetio]

Macho champángne supernova was mágico

[@edscorcho8228]

Okay have all the time stamps You need 0:00 - 3:12 Rivers being a cutie

[@davemckay4359]

Fascinating

[@Sharkistas]

RIVERSSSSSSSSS I love the real, rawness.

[@hkhjg1734]

you know you’re a professional when you pick up a .6 pick but know you need that extra .13 to make it a .73
