Live on Conan.

[@monkeyliver1986]

rip mikey. good bass player

[@randyrazor6780]

Mikey was a smooth bass player. Gone too soon. Rest In Peace

[@Rei_Ezequias]

Ele morreu?

[@gabeaddisonmusic]

Seth Belfort why would you disrespect someone who is dead 🤦‍♂️that’s messed up man

[@alexanderdeiss7910]

@Seth BelfortYou're a joke !!!!

[@flippertheslid3642]

What happened to him, how did he die, was he the original bass player??? Thanks in advance to whoever that could inform me.

[@SeanSMST]

The sound engineer on this did incredibly, the mix sounds lush and clear.

[@randyrazor6780]

Rest In Peace Mikey Welsh

[@joaovictor3312]

rivers looks so hip here pun intended

[@langdonalger9219]

Johnny DeCastro he looks hip hip

[@TheBlackMambaa248]

Conan looks the same 20 years later. The man doesn’t age.

[@quandaledingle1179]

Rivers doesn’t age either

[@SpaceTravel1776]

First off, Conan does look old these days. Also, Rivers has hair implants (he was going bald, which you can see in some past videos). These stars are always presented in great lighting with makeup, but when you see them in person in non-media situations, they look every day of their age.

[@MintyFreshTurds]

Ahh, yes he does, look at his neck.

[@katepriest9257]

My son was born the same day this album came out, which was shortly before 9/11 happened, and this will always remind me of that weird no man’s land between childhood and adulthood. 😭

[@riffage1999]

That maraca player really stole the show back there, couldn’t take my eyes off him

[@richardloma8648]

It looks like Atom Willard from against me

[@SpaceTravel1776]

Crazy to see the genius drumming talent of Atom Willard relegated to shaking maracas for an entire song.

[@MrButterInaCan]

Didn't even realize that was him. What was bro doing there?

[@FatadayKorngor]

@@MrButterInaCanhe was Pat’s drum tech during the Green Album tour

[@monkeyliver1986]

These guys should be in the rock n roll hall of fame

[@gabeaddisonmusic]

I agree

[@liampalmer3962]

Eh

[@tannerteevsb8963]

They don’t have enough hit songs

[@PrematureMailbox]

@@tannerteevsb8963 They have like 20 are you kidding me

[@Ozma2]

@@PrematureMailbox I say this as the biggest Weezer fan possible: the average person wouldn't know more than Buddy Holly, Island in the Sun and Beverly Hills AT MOST.

[@lou5368]

the fact that this song existed long long long way before I came across it just makes me think how much I missed on it. Just like a lot of great songs before.

[@legochickenguy4938]

RIP Mikey Welsh

[@lmeda5569]

This is My favorite version of this beautiful song

[@DeeckyRizzo]

Rock bands playing live, with imperfections but REAL. I fucking miss that! People like you and me, not beautiful "chosen" models that sell a perfect life on social media and "music".

[@Kranax2017]

Same here man, same here. 😞

[@kuudereplus]

i keep watching mikey's performances of this song. there's so many flourishes missing from the newer performances: the bass's half start and slide into the verse at the beginning, the riff and walk back into the verse from the chorus. the bass even has a thicker, nicer feel in the mix here. idk. it's a lot of little things

[@electricboogaloo8142]

This is a really good performance

[@george474747]

Rivers has such a beautiful tone to his voice... So clear. Expresses a kind of honest vulnerability that gives the song real power.

[@soyboy2238]

Rivers couldn't get the pedals right.

[@jareposting]

Mikey looks so fucking cool here.

[@ObiWanKenobi]

Fun fact: this was Mikey’s (the bassist) last performance as a member of Weezer Edit: Actually I was wrong. Here is his actual last performance as a Weezer member kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqnaeGShgbmGfrM

[@toadfrommario943]

Bro

[@michaelgraham9774]

Mikey couldn't handle the touring life

[@ObiWanKenobi]

Michael Graham he was a touring bassist before Weezer though

[@langdonalger9219]

This doesn’t seem like a “fun” fact

[@ipleasenothing]

I thought it was the tonight show appearance that was the last one like a month later

[@MadflowsA]

Wow they sound so good!

[@renperez5336]

[@MotoGPfan3987]

Thanks for putting this up. They look so young! Damn Pat with that killer fill at the end!

[@joaovictor3312]

specially conan hehe

[@SomeRandomHobo44]

how the hell is Rivers Cuomo 31 here. He looks like he's in his 20s

[@LetsTalkColdplay]

Excellent, fantastic, perfection. What a great song.

[@waycnf7229]

WE LOVE YOU MIKEY

[@martinarellano9292]

i miss this sound of weezer is great job

[@fernandoramirez8297]

Can someone remind me why we make fun of Weezer. These guys are so wholesome

[@Cowboy_kidd]

You just sorta do

[@Thea-un4xr]

They need to bring back the maracas guy lol

[@rohan750]

haha that's atom willard

[@jimmyjohns6516]

And the gimmie gimmie girl

[@dstacyify]

Unlikely now lol. That's Atom Willard and he's an extremely talented drummer in his own right. He's drummed in bands like Rocket from the Crypt, The Offspring, Angels & Airwaves, and Social Distortion throughout his career.

Good job Weezer

[@virtuallyunknownn]

rivers almost looks shell shocked after conan shook his hand

[@lordsubl1me]

missed the overdrive effect there rivers

[@EthanHGray]

This band looks like Bill Gates, Ashton Kutcher, and Dwight Schrute hired a bass player and an alternative percussion player and played a show on Conan

[@bvddyboi]

U just know the drummer was sitting there like wtf????? Where’s my Stars and Stripes

[@stfuimtrynawatchanime9257]

The reason Rivers sounds so unsure about his singing is because at this time, he was extremely depressed after Pinkerton had failed and had been rated awful. But he did recover, to go make many more albums and make millions of more dollars. Weezer forever ✌🤘

[@Akash-tm4fh]

Yeah that makes sense. Love Pinkerton. It's thier best album in my opinion

[@thelostworlds3]

Blue and Pinkerton forever, sure. The rest….. well.

[@buttmanjenkins3972]

They look like a bunch of accountants who started a garage band

Great to see that they are back with the lead soundtrack for Keanu Reeves' new movie, "Bill and Ted Face the Music". Beginning of the End. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3anoqhlKqDhsk
