Why Weezer WHY!?
 

Not sure if this thread is in the right section or not..

i would like to get you guys opinion on the Band Weezer cause this band broke my heart
i had their first album which was great!
That whole album is good, you can even see traces of that Emo punk bands fad that were popular for a little while, Bands like Dashboard confessional, yellow card, All american rejects..

That type of whiny Emo singing, Rivers sang kinda like that. (Btw i hate all those bands i mentioned)

i loved that album though, at the time i thought they were like a Nirvana Pixies combination but yet with their own style.

their next album 'Pinkerton' was not bad, but nothing too memorable
their Next album was better, but it was more commercial and while the songs were catchy they were total people pleasers,, you could tell they wanted "Hits" not songs

their next album i didn't get BUT THEN THE NEXT ALBUM had 'Beverlly Hills"

it was then i decided "IM DONE WITH WEEZER!" :mad:

What the hell happened to them!?

I don't know, but they sure are not like what they were in the 90's/early 2000's.

But hey, can I tell you a fun fact? My friend played guitar on "Beverly Hills". :D

I never understood the big deal with Weezer even when they were in their "prime".

Did he now? lol

Your friend played guitar in that Album ?
Honestly they weren't a big deal, i just liked them.

but they peaked in their first album i think.

they were a good alternative to all those depressive grunge bands at the time

Wow it's almost 20 years I've hated this band now.

I feel old.

You haters, Island in the Sun was cool

They started playing music and released albums. That should never have happened.

I don't get the Emo connection. :rolleyes: I don't know who came first out of those bands. I thought Weezer took inspiration or could had from bands like the Buddy Holly and the Crickets, the Ramones or Shonen Knife or maybe other College Rock bands. But after looking it up Weezer was influence by the Pixies, Nirvana, Oasis, Sonic Youth etc. OK it wasn't the bands I thought,it didn't mention Buddy Holly as I expected, weird I don't know why I thought that they were influence by Buddy Holly. And it didn't mention Shonen Knife but they were an influence for Nirvana, maybe their is an influence of them filtered through Nirvana. And it didn't mention the Ramones, -doesn't matter because Johnny Ramone was boss, he influenced a lot of guitarist directly or indirectly.

Probably because they have a song named after him.

:pssst: are you kidding me?
