This really hammers in how little people liked Pinkerton at the time lol look at that crowd

Back in 1996 the world was not ready to receive Pinkerton, a masterpiece filled with vulnerable and creepy moments that stands as many people's favorite album.

Matt Sharp has the best falsetto in the game.

The line is a reference to a wrestling match featuring New Jack and Johnny Grunge. I think it was ECW.

[@commentmanwhoeatsgahbage3022]

The actual album has very little production/work on it, which probably explains why it's so similar. Though I do feel like this is much more raw in instrumental versus the album version.

Well since this song was on Pinkerton, and no one really liked Pinkerton at that time. So I guess no one really liked the song

[@SuperBalders]

+Minty Python have you ever been to a festival in germany? even when i was young, i was not able to run and jump the entire day. And.... just having a look at there mere of the shirts telling me it's a lot of punk rock fans there. And Weezer is great, no doubt, but you'd better save your energy for your fav bands. and listen to the nice music of the other bands aswell. How lame are you, just comenting and not going wild yourself? ;)

[@joshislazy]

+SuperBalders Weezer was the closing band that festival

[@SuperBalders]

+Josh Acosta can't believe it! there's still sunlight! :D oh and btw: i've checked the setlist. Weezer were 5th of 9 bands playing that first day of two.

[@joshislazy]

SuperBalders Really? Well, that explains a lot. The Surf Wax America vid had me thinking they were the closer because of the horizontal text that resembled credits.

[@sirmang9032]

Listening to a recent live performance of this song and comparing it to 1996 shows you just how much the band lost when Matt left. Most of the energy of the band came from him. Makes me wonder how Weezer would be if he had never left.

[@kevinswift8654]

eh well you also can't compare them recently becoming famous and playing to huge fucking crowds in their 20s, after recently writing these songs, to them playing them 20+ years later... I mean, I love Matt but I think you're missing something very important as to why the recent performances, well, suck. Weezer are human, that's why we love them, and in this video you caught them in a very raw and exciting moment. Those moments don't last forever.

[@runnersdialzero1244]

Compare just about any live band who were young in 1996 compares to how they perform 23 years later and you'll probably hear a drastic difference. It doesn't have much to do with Matt, he doesn't deserve nearly as much as credit as he gets.

[@wuandondo4832]

While Matt did provide cool falsetto voices that were iconic and recognized as classic Weezer, he’s really kind of just left as that. I think it’s more of Pinkerton’s failure that changed the band to go to other things.

[@SpookyLukeyD]

@@runnersdialzero1244 100% this. People just want what they can't have, they can't have him so they put him on a pedestal.
