Weezer Is Recording "SZNZ" In Real Time | Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend

[@VarynDEE33t]

I love how candidly Rivers mentions Dropbox as the inspiration behind SZNZ, not even realizing how hilarious it sounds to most other people. That’s just Rivers, the unintentional comedic genius 😂

[@dangercat9188]

Rivers really is a genius. I love his explanations for everything he does.

[@swisscheeseplease97]

He is such a cool guy. I’m glad Weezer is still going strong

[@Sliver90]

When Rivers said, "No one's ever said that". Well, that's kinda true. I've seen many hates toward these SZNZ idea things.. (still, obviously loves or compliments from people towards these SZNZ projects are more..) but again there are some weezer fans who always find things to complain about and some jerk reviewers who are always biased to give weezer bad reviews.

[@saulgoodman5814]

The concept is literally so cool! I hope it starts to get more recognition. I heard they’re gonna remaster it and release it all together as an album which will be awesome cause it will automatically transition

[@arliecarnagey1560]

the concept of the albums sounds amazing! i was talking about the rest of the episode.

[@grimpoteuthis1337]

I immediately went to listen to Autumn after River said it was dance rock. It’s so goddamn good, I love how Weezer is great at everything.

[@BaronVonBielski]

It’s absolutely not dance rock in any shape or form. There isn’t a single song worth dancing to on that album.

[@Riomojo]

I didn’t realize Conan’s podcast clips are posted around three weeks later. September 21st feels like ages ago

[@elishmuel1976]

I never heard of that incredible SZNZ concept and now I absolutely have to get the albums and go through that intended roller-coaster ride! Thanks for 20 years of amazing music!

[@jenniferdennis6465]

Sooooo good

[@saulgoodman5814]

They’re gonna remaster it and release it as a full album next year too so it can transition!

[@VarynDEE33t]

It’s been done by others a few times before. One that comes to mind is Jon Foreman’s (lead singer of Switchfoot) Four Seasons EPs, all of which are worth listening to btw.

[@roscoemuttley]

This guy is simply brilliant! The blue album is in my top records of all time.

[@johnrr5833]

Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) did this back in 2008. Great albums 👌.

[@markarchibald7816]

Thrice did the same with their elements 4 album project. I’m surprised people are seeing this as a whole new idea.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

He's talked about the folder thing before, years ago. It's really cool he still does that, obviously it works. All I'm getting from this is that he must have *hundreds* of songs in those folders that we're not hearing 😂

[@TheJohnny928]

SZNZ GREAT concept🖒🎶🎶🎶

[@muffindrawzz]

I was like "Where are the comments?" but i realized I was just that early

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

btw, can I just say how good Conan looks here? Haircut, looks fit, heallthy happy, not slovenly like in the next clip lmao he really dressed up for Rivers.

For the fans, get it other musicians, when you have a couple of decades under your belt, put out whatever, true fans will enjoy anything new.

[@Sliver90]

When Conan said, "You're gonna get sad". Rivers is sure is sad right now after releasing Winter

[@dponka56]

1:11 Yeah, the reason no one has ever said that is because Stephen King already wrote Different seasons wayyyyy back in 1982 with similar themes for seasons.

[@ArvisTatom]

Ever heard of Vivaldi?

[@dponka56]

@@ArvisTatom Yes. But thanks for the correction. My point was, its been done before.. Also now that you have pointed it out, it seems like an even more egregious omission from a musician saying he got the idea from dropbox...

[@ArvisTatom]

@@dponka56 Hence why he mentions Vivaldi as well...

[@dponka56]

@@ArvisTatom He did, my bad then. Thanks for the correction. And Apologies to those who got offended.

[@chan_martin]

Curious to hear River’s take on an Elliott Smith style for Winter

[@chan_martin]

I heard Winter and it just sounds like early Weezer.

[@Rockesb888]

Winter was SO good.

[@Snakefeel]

Thrice did this too. With elements instead of seasons

[@dannykent6190]

I love their take on selenium.

[@partydragon099]

[@JudgeDredd_]

There were so many jokes here in the beginning when he was explaining this album but Conan just disregarded it all hahahahaha

[@Kentucky81]

that pic I thought it was Johnny Knoxville lol

[@Geeksmithing]

Sona adds so much

[@ZahidH24]

Bruh I just saw the exact same comment made by three different people talking about the dropbox thing

[@MudSluggerBP]

An American saying Autumn instead of Fall😮

[@volutedmetal8543]

It was originally going to be named 'SZNZ: Fall' but Rivers changed it shortly before Spring released

[@treborretsnom6186]

Willie Nelson please to God call Conan, Conan... please to God call Willie, call Bob, call many more... insist 🔥

[@illuminatedsinger]

Long live Kurt Cobain

[@jocal9125]

not sure why summer is angry

[@volutedmetal8543]

If I remember correctly, Rivers mentioned tapping into the feeling of the sun making you uncomfortably hot and it making you irritable, of course among other more personal subject matter (and the historical ties with the Roman Republic that are mentioned multiple times throughout SZNZ: Summer). It probably is because he's written so many happy and sad summery songs, he probably thought it would be fun to make something angry themed around it

[@elvislives-gl4rv]

uh....mmm.....Vivaldi of course.

[@seanaugustinemarch1]

Some of the respect I lost for the band since Maladroit has been reclaimed after hearing Rivers speak a bit on his creative process.
