Weezer - Brain Stew (Cover) Live (AOL SESSIONS 2009)

[TheUsername135792468]

Green Day's version is better sorry

[clab077]

OH SH*T. I FOUND WALDO!

[gonza019]

zafa pro mejor es la de green day <3 :)

[MyKnappster]

I found wally/waldo

[LilBlanards]

this is actually fantastic

[callmejitters]

I'm just not used to hearing the lyrics as anything other than "No rest for Khlav Kalash in my mind"

[darkcjdm]

@callmejitterswtf is khlav kalash?

[callmejitters]

@darkcjdm Hahah, it's like a ball of meat on a stick. I heard someone say it on The Simpson's.

[darkcjdm]

@callmejitters ahahah rlly? thats too funny

[HETSoHz]

If I just heard the audio and someone told me it was the dresden dolls I would believe them.

[BeaNXIII]

@HETSoHz Holy shit...you are right...! LOL...the voice is spot on too.

[zachy7777]

Oh no they have piano instead of a guitar! This automatically sucks, how dare they try something different!

[Blaze1289]

@zachy7777 This is a Weezer video, you forgot to say "HURR HURR RECORD ANOTHER BLUE ALBUM".

[QualityOfTheBeard]

@Blaze1289 I'd rather they record another Pinkerton. THAT is their great album.

[Blaze1289]

@QualityOfTheBeard I don't think Rivers is lonely, broken, and depressed enough to record another Pinkerton. I'm happy with what they're making now, anyway.

[MrMiamiheatfan136]

Awful

[nolandoification]

green day is way way way way way better.............piano needs to go and needs some guitar and more drums and wat is that at the end he was a zombie 1 word.......RETARD

[manateegirl1]

I think a part of me just died a little. They tried to do it their own way, which I appreciate, but they took the essence of the song and threw it away. B for effort.

[Gaarasgirlfriend1000]

ummm.....no. just no. green day kicks these guys asses.

[blueprintsymphonic]

fucking hilarious



[silverskittles50]

Why the hell isn't Patrick on drums?

[Blaze1289]

@silverskittles50 Because Pat prefers to play guitar.

[silverskittles50]

@Blaze1289 I know he prefers guitar but he should at least have been on drums, there shouldn't be someone else playing them

[SAINTJIMMYROTTEN]

WTF THIS IS 100% CRAP IT SOUNDS FUCKING SAD AND I HATE WEEZER ANYWAY I ...I THIS IS JUST HORRIBLE

[joosdude4]

@SAINTJIMMYROTTEN ok cock sucker

[silverskittles50]

@SAINTJIMMYROTTEN if you hate weezer why are you even watching this? and why are you freaking out in all caps? if you're watching bands you hate perform on youtube and then commenting freaking out about how shitty you think it is, then you clearly have NO LIFE. we happen to love weezer, and if you have some criticism, its cool. but don't sit here and bash bands that you hate, do something better with your time

[SAINTJIMMYROTTEN]

@silverskittles50 hmm i dont have a life and i dont mind weezer but this is just bad

[artist3224]

he wares the same pajamas in his muisc video for my brain is working overtime

[aof36]

Radsauce.

[ilanaluf]

It's good but Green Day still much better.

Green Day rocks !!

[bodimen2]

WTF? :D

[manvswolfman]

ah, where's Jaded? that would have been amazing with the piano(if that's even possible)

[troll58712]

No, No, This doesn't work for me

[Thecodi55]

It's really a good cover but I can't help laughing! No disrespect intended cause it sounds really good-I like the piano in it especially. It's just funny to watch. Did Billie Joe really send him over the edge? Well, if I need cheering up in the future I'll know where to come.....

[TigerDriver1991]

Muhfuckah look like Waldo.

[kevinToad1]

rivers looks like he has a mental handicap...

[griinsly]

wow amazing ((: i know this song only from Green day and i love it. And i think this version is as good as the version from Gd, love it !!

[ThePooperRat64]

i knew it would take billy joe armstrong to make rivers swear multiple times in a song, and wear waldo's clothes at the same time

[MrHahachicken]

this cover improves the song so much imo

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

It may just be me but I found this cover really funny.....in a good way :)

[12west90]

This is so AWESOME. Green Day and Weezer are my two favorite bands

[orksarekool]

I like Rivers dance.

[O2DDarkChef]

it makes me sad seeing Rivers like this.

What the fuck? This isn't Weezer.

it can't be... D:

[krewesco]

Thats the first time i hear Rivers Curse!!!!

[LowriderSwag]

look who made waldo sexyy..yup :)

[xkilagramx]

Im the biggest Green Day fan but i really like this RESPECT!

[sammmpon]

Anyone else notice the drummer is wearing Rivers's jacket? Or is that just me being a complete trainspotter...

[RicoLen1]

Rivers looks like he's retarded. You almost want to clap for him and tell him he did a good job.

[jeffaugusta89]

@RicoLen1

hahahahahah so true

[RockerDudeVideos]

WEEZER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SUCH A GOOD SONG! Everyone is going to hate this, oh wait, THEY ALREADY HAVE! This version sucks like s**t!

[nintendude1993]

@RockerDudeVideos Green Day isn't that good, anyways. I think this is a decent cover to that Pop rock song, very unconventional and original.

[LynnWilde96]

@nintendude1993 ummm actually Green Day is Punk Rock, not Pop Rock LOL Billie would die if he read this haha he says pop is really poop xD, I'm just saying don't get mad if you read this ;). This is a beautiful cover btw :3

[SkullCowboy]

i found Waldo!

[TheMichaellink]

I'm a Green Day and Weezer fan... and I just want to know what the fuck Rivers has on.

[VFloresTalent]

this is sooooo boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Allraff]

I´m a green day fan too... and i think this version is quite good!

[fitzisfun55]

Yeah um what the fuck Is he wearing?

[joshcrates]

live pitch correction... *sigh*

[lazrpo]

@joshcrates Yup. AOL has enough of it to autotune the world itself.

[HoChiWaWa]

Wonder if those Pjs have a butt flap.

[BrianBellFan]

i like this version better then green days

Rivers is amazing

[shikamaru08804]

@BrianBellFan its good but im a die hard green day fan its definitly good though

[BrianBellFan]

@shikamaru08804 hahahaha same case here i LOVE weezer ! so that probaly has something to do with why we like the other bands version better hahah

[gmoneystyle85]

Like a few others have said, deff a odd choice of songs to sing in this fashion but at the same time, it's actually pretty good, the piano adds a different level to it

[freakinawesome153]

i wan one of those tracksuits that rivers doesn't wear because it's not weird enough :P

[ladywhatsername713]

i love the ending :D

[maalbe987]

I found Waldo!

[ilanaluf]

nice cover..

Green Day better.

[MelvinWren]

whos the piano?

[chrisslush]

whats with the piano? I mean even if they are trying to be creative they can try something else.

[TaekoBored]

Of course nothing beats the original, but in my opinion, it was pretty good. I mean, maybe not the BEST choice for a song to sing in that particular sort of genre they decided to sing it in, (cause the original is REALLY different), but other then that, I thought the piano interpretation was AMAZING, and vocals were really awesome too.

[MicrowaveWalrus]

this is epic

[phillipthedrummer]

OK,

I am a Huge fan of Weezer and Green Day

but I didn't really like this.

[ferdzrines954]

Rivers Cuomo is gawd. Love the red striped pajamas! hHAhhAHha

[MasterSlurpee]

NOT Green day shouldn't play the song like this. its a disgrace to all the green day fans alive.

[Yaybels]

Weezer must be pretty bored to do something like this. Sounds like Ben Folds messing around.

[DougMayhem]

why is River wearing his Where's Waldo pjs? haha

[KimsCS124]

gay

[1MoreRoundbrother]

meh. at best it's ok.

[XxMalwareRemoverXx]

amazing!

[DeadPantsHL2]

Mo' freaks and weirdos. (loved btw)

[thefistheserpent]

Hey, I found Waldo.

[ClassicsShow]

This is an AMAZING rendition of a great song. While the original is INCREDIBLY well-written, Billie chose an age-old chord progression (if you don't believe me, check out "Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4" or Zeppelin's "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"- they use the same one) The song NEEDED a cover like this to change it up.

[1MoreRoundbrother]

@ClassicsShow

AMAZING is really high praise. what makes it amazing as opposed to just ok.

[ClassicsShow]

@1MoreRoundbrother Rivers' voice, The unlikely instrumentation, overall interpertation and jazzy rewritten piano melody! Perhaps that was high praise, it's just really refreshing to see a quality performance of a fresh arrangement of a rather overdone number. Idk, just my opinion :P

[flutesrockok]

I need one of those outfits, I really do.

[Dangeresque300]

Here's a fun activity to keep all the trolls occupied: Go through all of the comments for this video and see how many times Waldo is mentioned. If you think that, at any point, you missed one, start all over again and repeat the process until you either finish, die or get bored with it.

[Theginger22790]

@Dangeresque300 Only once lol.

[SuperMegabar]

Ok why has nobody questioned this... WHAT THE FUCK IS RIVERS WEARING!!

[Ricefries]

haha isn't Weezers drummer Jason whites (Lead guitarist for Greenday) cousin?

[framjam44]

i found waldo's pajamas

[LetsStartWildFires]

I get it now! He's in the onesie because he was trying to sleep, but he can't! So he sang this song.

[thelegion69]

why is he in a onesie?

"quick, wake up! we need to go do AOL sessions!"

"oh sh!t, no time to change, i'll perform in this. to the weezer mobile!"

we all know that's EXACTLY how it went down

[USNanchor]

Josh Freese is an awesome drummer!! BTW Jason Freese (brother) tours with Green Day on keyboards/Sax/backing vocals.

[traindude95]

@USNanchor jason freese is the one with green day, his brother josh is with weezer

[Keopro]

Once the drums picked up, it was great.

[TheSmagann]

lol

[johnrjmoore]

lmfao i think he's making fun of it hahaha

[jzapletal9]

terrible shit

[PersonManThingKid]

Stop stealing gd's songs!

[mdog123451]

@PersonManThingKid Its called a cover dumb shit.

[shelbynichole2012]

woah <3

[barbocovers]

Where's Waldo ??

[PRoJ3CTify]

This is fuckin awesome.

[trc95]

Rivers looks like Waldo lmao.

[athingnamedid]

simply beautiful.

[suppegecko]

punk is punk and no one can change that and punk is what green day plays and thats not punk !

[RoRoJovi]

@suppegecko Well it's just a cover, and they can do it however they want.

[spreepin]

The whole thing seems kinda nerdy :D

[unbornhero90]

he sounds like a robot.. That's so awesome

[JamieT96]

Haha, what the fuck.

[Spinkmask]

Interesting cover of one of Green Day's best songs - not sure if I like it, but better than making a facsimile of the original!

If you are going to cover a song and make it sound like the original people already have that version - it is called the original!

[panther2598]

I found Waldo!

[DrFunkenstein211]

Needs more cello.

[MrGasson]

epic jimmy-jams

[MykeMetyll]

God forbid Green Day fans let Rivers be Rivers.

[naleja63]

APESTA!

[pozdude3543]

wow. rivers cussed. thats a first

[odetochin123]

@pozdude3543 Wait, what?

[cynopt]

Wow, Green Day fans are apparently really uptight these days. And I say this as a Green Day AND Weezer fan since the 90s...

[crashnueve]

Weezer always does the best Green Day covers.

[intangibledc]

at first i thought it was terrible, then it got a bit heavier and i began to enjoy it.

the outfit kinda sorta reminds me of Maynards from Tool, when he sings Sober live. which is an amazing performance

[wnxwidow]

Not bad but jesus where's the spirit green day put into this mindblowing song?

I bet his face DOES actually feel numb... PUT SOME PYROTECHNICS IN THAT JOINT AND TEAR IT APPART! Make Billie Joe proud!

[lollerskates101LOL]

meh lame



[padreteresso]

AWESOME!!!

[urma1234567]

@EnergiserBunny804 Im a huge green day fan and I personally love this cover. But you can't say that this spans beyond any other kinds of music that green day fans like because green day are just as good as weezer. In fact my musical interest spans from Heavy Metal To hard dubsteb drum and bass. I think it's unfair that you traet green day fans as if they are idiots because with an honours degree in music, I can say that is untrue.

Weezer and GD ftw!

[globe5525]

so goooooooodoodoooooood

[slebano4244]

i found waldo.

[tie2009]

Love it, seriously, this cover is amazing.

[cyanidebiscuit]

Awesome cover

[CupidsRejects]

I don't dilly like this cover but the piano part is cool

[chidori211]

I'm a Green Day fan and I love both versions

[greendepent]

Kick ass. Different and great as the original :)

[EnergizerBunny804]

Wow, why are so many people acting like fucking retards, I'm sorry if the level of musicianship in this version is a little bit beyond the musical taste of Green Day fans.

[KimsCS124]

WORST BULLSHIT EVER!!! IT SUCKS FUCKING ASS!! U HAVE DESTROYED THE SONG!

[MrRezeew]

better than the original. Billie Joe's voice is annoying, Rivers's isn't.

[alkalinenofx]

Josh Fresse! best drummer ever

[NKeepoo]

@alkalinenofx Yes he is besides taylor hawkins or dave grohl.

[TheFlipanator]

Now THAT'S the Rivers Cuomo I know and love. Sick jam(mies).

[annthuhknee]

very cool!

[CpmProductions1]

See the piano guy! NO LIE HE IS MY MUSIC TEACHER AT SHADY HILL

[WeRageALot]

Haha I love this. Weezer is the shit. They should cover a metallica song :p

[30inventionman]

this is acually pretty good, the guy in waldo suit is very talented

[DiegoStollberg1]

muito loco !!!!!!!!!!! bom pra caraio

[Mumumurilo]

Awesome cover, love Green Day. But where's Brian, Pat and Scott?

[dongsun24ify]

@oOoCodyProductions

Haha you're a fucking idiot

[TheNoExeptions]

Souands like this could come from Charlie Brown.Thumbs up if you agree. And SUBSCRIBE ALL YOU GREEN DAY LOVERS :D

[emarone1]

bald spot at 3:17

[thebesianvein]

@sweetsoriano yes. yes you do!

[cpotatoes]

omg I just brain stewed all over the place...

[rebirthovan]

they shredded with the piano xD

[Cappilover]

Seriously GD +weezer? = BEST MIX <3

[darthmoop]

@PurpleBears14

U obviously don't see the humor in this video. And don't you ever fucking mention that awful Neversingever band ON ANY WEEZER VIDEO EVER! That little douche from Nevershoutnever doesn't even deserve to be known by anyone.

[dongsun24ify]

Its a good cover. Thats my opinion. They can use whatever instrument they want to sound it like their own style. Whats the fucking point of covering a song by trying to sound EXACTLY like the orginal?

Its all opinions people, live with it.

[luchdim13]

@dongsun24ify FINALLY someone with a brain!

[WillCP08]

Anyone else think he sounds like David Tennant at 2:39 ?

[kaw37]

sounds good to me...

[MyWhiteFair]

Green Day ♥

[a1exthegenius]

My ears feel like their going to bleed...

[GreenDayBestDay]

This Suck The Piano WTF

[OrangePossum]

@GreenDayBestDay You Suck The Piano FTW

[GreenDayBestDay]

@OrangePossum Fuck The Piano wheres the Guitar Stupid

[SuicydeProductions]

This sucks!

[TFReviews1]

I enjoy this version for being unique, but it certainly is no replacement for the Green Day version

[yuriken123]

WHAT THE FUCK?... OH MY GOD

[NickGuitarMalfara13]

the fuck

[WillCP08]

The piano part might have sounded better if he had left the percussion to the drummer, but still a fantastic cover.

[9127yt]

It better than green day version, i think, pretty good,

[flyingcamel5]

made the song :D...apart from the piano :P Rivers still has it

[RobloxDarthSpeedy]

The part where it would sound heavy in the Green Day version in this sounded like the Halo 3 soundtrack mixed with the peanuts music it was mind boggling in a bad way...

[kingdavidtrialruns]

THERES WALDO!!

[kingdavidtrialruns]

Thumbs up if you heard silent hill music

(or if you think thumbs up comments are gay)

[souprcheff]

@kingdavidtrialruns If I think thumbs up comments are gay, why I give it a thumbs up...? You don't make any sense.

[kingdavidtrialruns]

@souprcheff you see that's exactly why it makes sense. You're just in denial

[a1exthegenius]

The greenday song is so much better than this crap

[RudyDaily]

Love the piano
