Rivers Cuomo - Say It Ain't So - Live in San Francisco

Rivers Cuomo - Say It Ain't So - San Francisco, Live, 5-9-18, 1st row, Bottom of the Hill. Rivers: Come on guys, somebody talk! lol Crystal Light is my Jam! lol
Other Tidbits:
An evening with Rivers Cuomo. Karl leaked it to the fans that there was a special guest planned, and it turned out to be Jason Cropper, Weezer's original guitarist!
After the show, Rivers talked with some of the fans and took pictures, which was nice.
Rivers: Could you turn up my monitors, please? The crowd is singing very loud… so it’s… hard to hear this lol
You guys nailed the solo! (to ‘Say It Ain't So’)
Tomorrow is May 10th… the date The Blue Album came out.
Rivers (before ‘Basket Case’): I went to see Billie Joe's new band the other night (The Longshot). They were supposed to play tonight, right down the road, but they cancelled… So I guess I feel kind of silly for learning one of their songs... lol
Rivers: Should we talk a bit or keep going? I’m not good at reading the crowd… :P
Fan: What’s Suzanne’s brownie recipe? (referencing the lyrics to Weezer’s song ‘Suzanne’)
Rivers: Suzanne? Oh, jeez… Suzanne was a secretary of our A&R guy at Geffen Records. And she made us brownies… And they were just regular brownies… they weren’t… maybe she made special brownies for one of the other bands at Geffen Records… Not for Weezer! lol
Fan: Who’s the special guest tonight?
Rivers: Who told you that?
Fan: Karl did.
Rivers: He did? Fu*ker! You guys got to be patient… lol There shall be a special guest tonight… if you all behave. :P
Fan: Is it Billie Joe?
Rivers: No, it's not Billie Joe... But if anyone knows him, call him up and bring him down!

Im sure he's used to it by now . looked like it anyway

[@haamishmcgarry]

Id be like "everyone pls STFU" Why the fuck they pay to go see Cumo if they were just gonna sing it themselves 😂

Not necessarily. Maynard from Tool isn’t too keen about it.
