Weezer ~ "Pumped Up Kicks" (Costa Mesa, CA)

[ceearr327]

this is on my ipod. they need to do a real recorded cover. now.

[WICKEDPONY81]

ba ba boosh

[TigersBloodWinning]

For some reason i like this version

[Duuude42]

Aww he's too cute reading the lyrics as he sings :)

[erikavandirty]

Man, you know you're cool when Weezer does a cover of one of your songs.

[goosegrouse1]

lots of bands cover other songs in their live shows. Obviously they like the song.....so whats with the hate? Just live and let live



[verveparty]

THIS WILL NEVER COMPETE WITH FOSTER THE PEOPLE"S VERSION....FSP IS A KICK ASS NEW BAND......

[antidepresserable]

weezer sounds better than foster the people

[daddybug101]

Foster the People now have arrived . . .

[cesarfreak]

you can tell it's a cover because he's reading the lyrics from a paper.

[CODlover2317]

at 00:04 the girl is doing the nazi arm thing haha idk what its called

[xbox9788]

I was there :D

[BlakEyedPeepz]

i reaaaally love the original version better..

[heathcol1]

love foster but this wasn't bad.  they should be flattered. i love weezer.

[blackfire053]

they try way to hard to stay mainstream. playing lady gaga n shit. they only cover the most stereotypical song possible at the time

[CoolSebbe431]

@blackfire053 How is Weezer mainstream?

[hungetkunstler]

@CoolSebbe431 How are they not?

[blackfire053]

@CoolSebbe431 they play whatever song is popular at the time. they covered fucking lady gaga for christ sake. 90's indie weezer is dead. now theres sell out weezer

[frostedkittenz]

@blackfire053 maybe they like songs that they hear and want to play them. doesn't make them shitty, just makes them people who like music.

[latinoheatJR619]

@frostedkittenz I'm pretty sure blackfire053 is correct actually. Weezer use to be a quality band (back in the day) but now have just become another sell out added to a huge list. I mean they were offered 10 million to split up by their own fans for christ sake!

[77gtfo]

@latinoheatJR619 Am I the only one who's see's the irony in your comment?

[VintageJamesT]

cool

[Bryzenn]

i wish i was him for these 3 minutes and 59 seconds 

[jimmysulivanfoREVer1]

great cover:)

[ChrisSketch]

I actually kinda love how he's reading from the lyric sheet. Its amazing how much it sounds like a song weezer would have put out way back during their height.

[GameCentralTactics]

i hate this noob for A)He reads the lyrics B) He thinks he's pro C)He's failing

Don't hate me it's my freakin opinion

[Bradrox101]

@GameCentralTactics That "Noob" your talking about is the singer for one of the most famous bands to ever walk the face of the earth. He IS PRO. And no, Your failing. (:

[zveena]

@Bradrox101 Not really,he is awesome,but wezeer is kind of underrated.

[Peetomail]

@GameCentralTactics Noob? that's rivers cuomo and has been making tunes since early ninties you tool you failed

[captainchu]

@GameCentralTactics you don't word it like an opinion, you should go to school :)

[DrPerki]

@GameCentralTactics I hate your freakin' opinion.

[rolo22090]

the fact that hes reading the lyrics of the paper makes it that much better..

[SalladHunter]

No...just...no

[SuperNeon96]

Thumbs up if you think this is better than the original.

[speedy365]

@SuperNeon96 that was the most idiotic comment i seen all day you fail, this cover sucked in my opinion..

[Hakapiks42]

Ser'sly, he couldn't even bother to learn the words!? This is a horrible cover by a horrible band!

[hbqw]

THAAT'S THE WAY IT SHUD BE SUNG! too bad about the braindead band though

[pher4992]

the band has gone downhill....

[alfredoking14]

maaan he did the lyric sheet thing when they covered this in calgary too

[pippa21336]

I... This is just... wow...

[YouDummy]

Fun to hear, but let these guys have their hits.

[420IronMaiden420]

this song is so annoying



[bordinco90]

They sounded better than the original in my opinion.

[rutabega234]

why is Pat on lead guitar and some random guy on drums???

[gidget22]

@rutabega234 Josh Freese is hardly random...

[yeboj]

@gidget22 i had no idea freese joined weezer.....

[raggabass]

@yeboj

He is also the touring drummer for DEVO..and when APC gets back on thr road he'll be there too.

[productionsts]

@rutabega234 VAI PÓ CARALHO

[raggabass]

@rutabega234

I ought to kick you upside you skull for a comment like that...

[hainesb09]

@rutabega234 lmao have you been living under a rock for the past 3 years?

[kmaher21785]

@rutabega234 they always switch up instruments in concert

[thisistheescapeplan]

@rutabega234 Josh is the touring drummer. Pat plays guitar when Rivers does his just singing thing

[ELECTRICHEADROOM]

@rutabega234 Cuz....Josh freese is best drummer on the planet.

[HideFromFacebook]

that's not Pat Wilson on drums...?

[edwardsolava]

When did Rivers get tattooed?

[apparentlymusical]

@edwardsolava a while ago



[gidget22]

@edwardsolava a lot of comments here say it's a sleeve

[jmfanclub]

@gidget22 My guess would be that it is. You can see the colour of the sleeve.

[Guitarist987]

@gidget22 It looks like a sleeve the arm with the tatto is a lot darker than his other arm

[widizgoud]

@gidget22 It is, can tell just by looking.

[Boobalaboo]

@gidget22 Still doesn't answer when he got his sleeve :P.

[gidget22]

@Boobalaboo Hmmm....ima guess he got it about 10 minutes before the show ;)

[theguywithraybans]

@edwardsolava Sleeve.

[MePotatoe92]

@edwardsolava Its a fake sleeve.

[hapjapify]

@edwardsolava looks fake

[Kittycatlurver25]

Both weezer and panic! at the disco had to read off lyric sheets while covering the song onstage. Bless them :`)

[gd1f]

Weezer always do amazing covers :)

[cpeen]

COOL

[thedrummerdude777]

Wow, they got Josh Freese on the drums. How fucking awesome is that?

[MattTheSasquatch]

I love when bands cover other bands' songs. It shows respect for the other bands.

[josephfrancoya]

better than the original

[Lerrad1469v0n2p0]

@josephfrancoya  dislike

[B4rC0d3666]

fantastic cover!

[tyadindaa]

and Foster The People played "Say It Ain't So" on their tour to Jakarta! ha

[killerjasondude]

I wish they would release a cover album....and he did Teenage Dirtbag in Atlanta and it FREAKING ROCKED!

[notredale123]

lol imagine if rivers actually knew the lyrics



[InstantRebirth]

Oh man this is awesome!!

[justinmtoth]

Utter and complete shit. Leave it to Weezer to fuck a good song up. He had to freaking read the lyrics from paper? Really?

[hungusmaximist0]

@justinmtoth Let's see you get up the stage and do better?

[TheDanDickson]

@justinmtoth you are honestly insane. he sings the melody fine, its clearly not an overly rehearsed cover but it sounds great. who cares if he read the lyrics

[RebeltubeStation]

fuck you Hipsters!... great cover Weezer!

[renatobo]

precisa de colinha?

[9shroom7]

love them! these guy took all of the indie out of this song XD

[Opulentastic]

i like this better

[AnarDiabo]

This is hilarious! he sounds like me when im trying to sing along to a song i don't know the lyrics to :p except not as cool

[cvrvids]

I love how he has the lyrics in hand

[KhriSchecter]

Cuomo Rivers.. get in my pants now.

[TrevorFurber]

98 people remember when Weezer was good.

[xOrangeTiger007x]

Don't ruin Foster the People's song!! Weezer - geez

[abcpranks34]

@xOrangeTiger007x GAY FAG

[terrymaness]

Foster the People must be so proud! Very nice cover.

[doctordoctordocism]

weezer is washed up. old news. *yawn*

[TurnerEckhardt]

Weezer hasn't been good in since Pinkerton. Go away already!

[lerinak]

this is when a joke on the bus turns into a fly by cover from a distant crew member's printer.

[ferdzrines954]

yeah!!

[nadoogger1]

one of my favorite shows at the pacific. gave him a highfive too

[Charlieparker5]

it would have been so sick to be in the crowd.

[mrspank35]

If SOPA becomes law, videos like this one are likely to die.  Bye bye YouTube.

[JourneyC8]

Great performance !! Can anyone check out my cover of Pumped Up Kicks please?

[o0chrislokinha0o]

Mark Foster told in an interview that he hang out with weezer and learned to play Say It Ain't So..

[Baseballplayinty]

@o0chrislokinha0o watch?v=TtVdifQJLJg&feature=re­lated

[o0chrislokinha0o]

@Baseballplayinty yes!

[lahaiemoves02]

Has Weezer turned into a cover band??? MGMT, Foster the People. Write something new boys.

[BlackHawkGaming]

Man, this made me happy! :D and yeah, to the top comments, Weezer covering you is a great honor lol. And I thought it was cool that he wrote the lyrics down, he doesn't care whether its memorized or not cuz why the hell would it matter XD

[breaker9]

is it bad that i like this version better than the origional

[gremlin2022]

Isn't that Jose Freese from A Perfect Circle on the drums? O_o

[OZOBIEUSA1]

Sorry, weezer sucks!

Dumb dance moves, and his voice is harsh!!!

[tfitz1134]

@OZOBIEUSA1 Not sure if troll....

[CamShaft200]

I saw foster the people a couple of days ago and they mentioned that Weezer did this and then covered 'Say It Ain't So'. In my opinion, both bands did the original songs justice.. I love both bands :)

[ThePJamz]

Rivers Cuomo is probably the only Harvard Graduate with a tattoo sleeve.

[Doctorzoidberg747]

They do so many awesome covers. Im a huge fan now lol. First Kids, Paranoid Android, and now this. Pure Awesome

[D3vinw]

Better than the original

[thescarletflag]

I was there :D

[NCcounTryBoy1985]

like both bands but wow dude they ruined the orignal.....Weez sold out along time ago! Foster Rocks!

[wondercast]

@NCcounTryBoy1985 The original wasn't that much better really.

[sujing0804]

yucks,this guy sucks

[Jon1203]

So lame; so weak. Didn't even learn the lyrics! Shameful disrespect for the real artists of this song.

[beep1234567891011]

@Jon1203 He reads his own lyrics from paper.

It's actually harder than you think to memorize lyrics when you're a singer/songwriter - you have a lot in your head.

Not to mention, he's remembering the verses partially, I guess.

[wondercast]

@Jon1203 They should be happy Weezer gave them the time and day.

[Calipygian2000]

Wow, when Weezer is covering YOU, you have done well for yourself.

[Legoman19892]

Is that a different drummer?

[heartshapedmilk]

@Legoman19892 yea really whats up with that!

[punkr41]

wuuuoouuuuu perfecto

[ReallyRandomRoska]

Woah.. if this was a Weezer song I might've liked it.

[foogirlie85]

yesyeyeyysyesysyssssss!!!!!!!!­!!!

[MrWiLLXDD]

SOOO FUCKING GREAT *--------*

[yanx9998]

please tell me why pat the drummer is playing guitar??? He really is a disgrace to everyone who has ever sat on the throne

[asthonbull]

me gusta mas esta version

[thegameplaychannel97]

Panic! at the Discos Cover was better

[billsihler]

i like weezer's version better

[peterwonaprize]

I think Rivers stopped playing guitar on stage, only so he could do the crotch-grab instead.

[Bellamione07]

No One can sing this except Mark Foster!!

[CPTNbumOut]

rivers make errrthang bettuh

[MrAnimeviewer2000]

@CPTNbumOut fuurrrrrrr shuuurrrrr

[AtheistTower]

lol reading the lyrics of a piece of paper.

[erincarnaudrey]

I'm not surprised he's reading it. He wrote too many songs to remember lyrics other than his own. He probably doesn't even remember all of his lyrics lol Great cover though, enjoyed it.

[TehProdigy5]

Weezer!! :)

[demilovatofan101ify]

All I have to say is "call it what you want!" - FTP -3

[lakeyshacoughlin]

Foster the People > Weezer. Although they performed the song well, I don't really give a shit about Weezer, so of course Foster the People would be greater.

[TheCrosbinaut]

@lakeyshacoughlin Listen to Weezer's first two albums, they're perfect. They're music now is nowhere as good as it used to be. And I find Foster The People to just be mindless pop music, there's nothing to take away from it, just catchy meaningless song after song.

[Imal00ter20]

@lakeyshacoughlin What an uneducated comment XD.

[DarknessDrawsCloser]

@lakeyshacoughlin Foster the People is Indie-pop crap. Weezer is real alternative. Weezer's farts sound better than Foster the People.

[DaTViperKid]

original is better but this was okay

[nayr3195]

foster the people may not be as good as weezer, but weezer can't whistle for shit

[austin78993]

wow they made it weezerish with out ruining the song. Although ive been frusterated with what they've been putting out lately, weezer is a fantastic band

[Noseguts]

Way better than original... the original is soo overated

[GotMyHeadphonesIn]

rivers is so cool.

[xKillerQueenXtine]

Weezer > FTP

ANY day of the week <3

[fatim736]

well



[froddd]

i love that he has to read the lyrics

[StephiiKaye11]

<3<3



[cjfast11]

remembering lyrics? no rivers doesnt have time for that shit,. like a boss

[Kriskazam]

@cjfast11 So would it be a bad thing that he remembred the lyrics?

[fragmenaetherium]

lol @ "outrun my bullet"

[MultiKoolaid96]

I like this song because Weezer transformed the originial quiet, almost slow alternative way that we are used to hearing this song from FTP, into a faster, harder, more rocky version of the song. They made it their own.

[TheBirdTweedy]

@MultiKoolaid96 no

[Hogshmet]

the lead singer is just being an asshole making it obvious he's reading lyrics off a sheet. he doesn't want to make it look like he knows an FTP song

[softlyspokensound]

@Hogshmet foster the people grew up listening to weezer not the other way around

[mcdonaldsman1975]

wow... he really sucks live.

[YoungFlutest]

FTW, yaya. Soz foster the peoples v.v

[penguin0430]

I like that Weezer did this song but the video isn't very good

[gidget22]

@penguin0430 Sorry dude, I was just an audience member with a camera, fighting to see past all the heads in my way...

[Jaychamp85]

@gidget22 Thank You!!! Great Audio and Video all things considered, must have been the best to see this live!!!

[gidget22]

@Jaychamp85 It was thanks...I'm just glad I get to share it :)

[Jaychamp85]

@gidget22 I Liked, Favorited, and Subscribed...think everyone should, and not just cuz of the song, based on what you said in the info shows me you're a true fan :D

[jabber8934]

@penguin0430 i like that you watched his video but your comment isnt very good. just saying... "thanks for posting this, it was interesting to see weezer do it" might have been better.

[tabber87]

@penguin0430 For a fan video the video and audio quality are surprisingly superb.

Get over your fucking self.

[coheedislame]

who does Josh Freese NOT play for

[charlessale]

@coheedislame Dunno

[tatiana7126]

looking at the lyrics..........fuck yea

i think weezer do it better than foster!
