[@Paul-dw2cl]

in which way?

[@rawjaw1881]

Yeah definitely me too. The guitar he’s using here is my favorite. He eventually covered it with electrical tape. He accidentally dropped it or something and it became unplayable in 1998 I wanna say? Anyway the stickers one he uses now is a rebuilt version of that original Warmoth strat but sea foam green instead of sonic blue.

[@imgitai]

In that, he sucks now???😃 I hate how he’ll abandon playing the guitar part to just raise one hand in the air? The weezer in this video is the only weezer I like....

[@OTMJD]

I think, THINK, it might be to do with him being self-conscious that one of his legs was shorter than the other. Notice how when he's not singing, he steps away and constantly moves at an angle, as opposed to standing up straight? It's also why Matt moves over at the end, it's not just to use a different mic, it's to draw attention away from Rivers. If you watch their performance of Say It Ain't So on Letterman circa '95, Rivers has a leg brace on from an operation to correct the length. He's very self-consicous about, so again, Matt is doing a lot of exaggerated movements that he doesn't always do. I only conclude this because I don't think he started changing the way he held his guitar years later, I think it occured pretty much during the tenure of this 'original' (most well-known) line-up, pre-'97.

Even the simplest of songs require a great amount of effort. I love when people play chill/simple songs so well! Weezer is a great band despite what others say honestly.

Wow this sounds incredible, plus the 90s fits are just such a vibe

Blue album, one of the soundtracks album growing up. The nostalgic rush never misses every time i put on the album.

Can we go back to 94 now? One of the best years of my life. 😒

Weezer don’t need pre recorded tracks

As least back here they didn't. I'm pretty sure they do for Africa.

The gear, sound, etc sounded so much better back then. I hate how the modern gear/sound is for most 90s bands that are still around playing their songs.

[@EB-bl6cc]

I love how messy this playing, the vocals, everything is, it suits the song so well

[@danielhady3021]

I think it's all the digital processing that goes into making tracks sound tight and clean nowadays. I do appreciate the tone they've got here, real dirty and gritty sounding almost like classic rock or southern rock.

Caught a Weezer show last year and they still sounded fucking massive.

[@TRJ2241987]

Considering Rivers wrote every song on the entire album and they had already recorded it the year before, I can't help but feel that's just a note from NBC asking them not to use the word 'goddamn' and then Rivers says it and shrugs

This was when the internet was only being discovered, and before it took hold. This was before auoto tune, and pre-recorded "live performances". This was before beauty was rated higher than talent, and when beautifully talented people were gods.

[@syzl___]

What the actual fuck are you talking about? You think people didn't rate beauty above talent in the fucking 1990s? Are you a troll? And pre-recorded live performances on tv have been a thing since the 1940s.

[@TheGonnzzo]

flawless live performance.

[@Hatchcaptain]

This came out when I was around 30, and thinking Rock n’ Roll needed an overall. Between Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, and these guys, they set the tone for that much needed tune up that was that mid-90’s revival of sorts. Just this guy’s opinion, that’s all.... Ric Ocasek, stellar job...RIP.

[@user-ux3vw6mb4k]

Completely agree.

[@proggydreams9812]

In random little parts rivers sounds almost like Kurt cobain. Like at the part before the second chorus at 1:41

[@mikethemechanic7395]

I was 18 when this came out. I just went into the Army. That summer I was at a swim park with some friends and this song was playing. Everyone was stopped in their tracks just bobbing their heads to this song.
