@irishbug14 nah i don't think that's weird. just because he's using the first person doesn't mean he's talking about himself, it's a song, not an autobiography. also i don't think his name is jonas
I loved this song from the moment I first heard the song play on the radio. I now consider "Troublemaker" one of my most favorite songs ever. "Cause I can't work a job-Like any other slob-Punchin in & punchin out-& suckin up to Bob. CLASSIC!
This video was made during the time of the release or advertisement of the red album... So Rivers probably hasn't rehearsed it enough times to drill it into his brain.
I don't blame him, those lyrics take a while to sink in.
love this song, this whole album is so cocky and i LOVE it haha, and someone said weezer stripped down owns, it really does, you can put any weezer song on acoustic and it sounds awesome
this is great. one of my favorite songs of the new album. they have such a keen ability to write catchy songs with such powerful lyrics. and go rivers \m/ rock the 'stache
Well not only are there a lot of lyrics inn the song, he's a musician who has learned plenty of songs over the years, not just lyrics but instrumentals, so i think that if he wants to read off a clipboard he can!
Yeah, this was almost right after the album came out, and they had barely started touring with these songs. I couldn't care less if he needed a clipboard, its still amazing.
@CodyT3212 Rock groups use teleprompters to remember their lyrics just like Obama-lamma-rama-rama-ding-dong. The teleprompter must be broken, thus the clipboard with lyrics.
Actually,I thought the liner notes in TRA Deluxe edition said that he had already wrote Troublemaker a WHILE back ago...Or I guess he might've just re-dug up the song so he probably forgot the lyrics within time then
I wish I could afford a cool sounding acoustic bass like that!
