Weezer!

[knox]

So are there any Weezer fans here? I know that I love Weezer; they're one of my favorite bands. They have an album coming out in the spring, with March 21 being the release date for their first single. I am, without a doubt, looking forward to it.

Pinkerton is my favorite, followed closely by the Blue Album. The other two aren't as good, but I enjoy them. I think Maladroit's slightly better than the Green Album, but that's debatable.

 

[Aardvark747]

Not a huge fan myself. Tho I dont like the way Gwen Stefani has nicked the 'tune' from the Hash Pipe verse.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I know three of their songs

but I like all three.

 

[all_i_want]

i know two actually.. a little respect (erasure song though...) and teenage dirtbag. theyre ok, but i cant really imagine myself buying one of their albums

Weezer rock! The green album - just got it for Christmas and it is a-rockin'. The blue album is equally entertaining with humorous lyrics and the catchiest tunes that roll around your head for days. Maladroit has its moments but doesn't live up to these other two. Definitely purchase the green and the blue.

I love Weezer They rock

 

[Rono]

I do like Weezer.

I am a HUGE Weezer fan. Pinkerton is also my favorite, followed by "blue", Maladroit, and the "green" album. Can't wait for them to tour again!!!!!!

 

[Rivers Cuomo]

Yes yes, my beautiful children. Tell me how great I am! Come on, keep it coming!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Rivers! We missed you!

Ahem, while I do prefer the blue album and Pinkerton, the green album is a great great great pop rock album and Maladroit is nearly full of brilliant songs, though it seems more like a collection of singles than an album. Also, Weezer puts on a great concert. I saw them on the Enlightenment tour, in which they created a nearly-random setlist every night. So each show was more or less completely different. Album 5 this year!

You're thinking of Wheatus. Anyway, I'm a middle-of-the-line fan of Weezer. I do like Say It Ain't So a lot.

Go get yourself Pinkerton.

As fake and lame as this may sound, I almost think I like all of their albums equally. They all have something to offer in my opinion. That being said, I think the Green album is my fav.

I've seen Weezer twice in concert, both times were extremely entertaining and fun. Good times

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I like all their albums. I like their image. I think Rivers has a great voice. Hope the album is good. Though I don't know if Rick Rubin is still working with them, I do hope Rivers and company are feeling inspired enough to have written some interesting songs....

When I think I've found a good old fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place
Everyone's a little queer
Why can't she be a little straight?

I love this line.

[Saracene]

Can't say I'm a huge fan, but I quite like the Blue album.

 

[learn2kneel]

weezer is great, they are what got me into indie music. Pinkerton and Blue are my favorites. love the buddy holly video too, its the first thing i saw from them.

Lately I have had a bit of falling out with Wezer, especially since I have been waiting since my sophmore year in High School for the new album

Do any of u Weezer fans see the resembelence between a bit of the way Gwen Stafani sung in her latest song, and the way the guy from Weezer sings in 'Hash Pipe'?

Everytime I hear this song of hers, it just sound to me that she's ripped it straight from that song, which isn't that unlikely, given the music she makes in No Doubt, she probably does listen to Weezer from time to time.

I was expecting a third self-titled release... the turqouise album

 

[Edgeman]

Have any of you seend the Dvd? If not, and you're a Weezer fan...you should have this.

God, I remember seeing them in Boston touring for the blue album. I think the show was at Avalon, which was a pretty small place. Those were the days. They even had the flashing "W" lights on the stage back then, and if my memory serves correctly, they came out to the theme from the TV show "Magnum P.I." That was a hoot.

Then in 1997 I spotted Rivers during his long sabbatical at two CONSECUTIVE night Pavement shows in Boston, at the Middle East. He was staring at them like they were gods. One listen to El Scorcho off Pinkerton and you can hear the influence.

While I wasn't bowled over by the last two albums, they both had a decent amount of good material on them. I wasn't disappointed as I really didn't expect them to top the first two anyway.

my friend had a CD's worth of unreleased material from last year; I wonder how much of it made this new album. They have TONS of outtakes if you're a curious fan...

I like how she is ripping off the singer of Missing Persons.
