I love this version so much; it's sweet! However, on the studio version, I wish they would've put a guitar solo where Kenny G's first solo was. When Weezer plays live, they add solos to the new stuff (Memories, Hang On), but I wish they would put those solos in the original recordings as well.
@LithgowlovesBJ look at fucking cool guy mc coolerson over here name dropping jazz people...how can you call two people sellouts who you dont know personally and definitely cant play better than? ah yes you're a douche
@assiduously I love matt Sharp but Rivers wrote Pinkerton all by himself.
Every song had no involvement from anyone else in the writing. So Im not so sure they would just up and go back to that style if Matt sharp were back.
when kenny g comes into the video, it always makes me think of that part of blades of glory, where will ferrel's all "it's called improvisation! even your precious kenny g does it!" :) i love this video
@boberthavok True. But, it's just a preference thing. I perfer him on the drums, I admit, it is cool that he plays that guitar, but not full time. I think Rivers is a great great great guitarist, and Im not used to him jumping around without one, it's just not the same to me. So, its just an opinion thing with me.
Yea, people need to get out of the 90's. It's 2010 folks. I do agree that some of the album they've put out aren't exactly some of their strongest work. Times a changing. I didn't like the change of bassist when Scott showed up, just because I was judging him against the fact that he was in the back up band for V-Ice when he came out with that awful mess of an album called "Hard to Swallow" That's what it was, hard to swallow.
As for this particular video. The band and Kenny G sound great. He rocks the solo. Better than any guitar solo the band could have done there. Don't judge it before you hear it.
Always saddens me to see people get on these boards and rip Weezer for not being the band they were in 1995. I don't get it. I listen to these CD's that supposedly suck and I hear good music. I like their willingness to change and adapt. I like how they aren't afraid to experiment. They still sound great but some of you are so reluctant to accept anything that isn't Blue or Pinkerton you don't even give them a chance.
Man. The autotune kills it. Didn't like Green Album. Hated Make Believe. Red Album was a step in the right direction, and then they fell over with Raditude. They can't seem to deliver anymore. I think I might just give up on new Weezer releases. All they do is hurt me.
O_O Why the HELL did Rivers want to stop playing guitar live. Can't be so he can jump up and down showing his stomach looking like an excited eight year old.
Kick out Pat! I'm a huge Weezer fan but he adds nothing on guitar and Rivers needs to play. In addition, I think Josh Freese is a much better drummer.
Neither does that fucking drummer. Ok, I love weezer...but if Pats not on drums I am just not very Happy. Rivers need to play guitar, THAT IS WEEZER. Either way, Raditude fucking kicks ass. Weezer is the best band of all time.
awesome song!! (l) - although i reckon they could have made this video better with a little more involvement of Kenny G (the same as Can't Stop Partying with Chamillionaire)
Damm....this is not a live performance, its for beiing watch at tv, i want a fuckin quality listening, Do you understand i want to watch and listen it in HD so it need that fuckin auto tune that you always talk about
The only members that ever changed were the bass players(Rivers had nothing to do with it). I guess you could argue about the guitarist as well but he's been there since the first album.
@ONIONKNIGHTScolonP na buddy, the band blew after the second album, its debateable about the green album, how the hell do you know if he kicked anyone out?
Better than Blink 182? o.O That's like saying better than whacking yourself in the nuts with a claw hammer....Blink 182 are gayer than Spongebob giving Barney a rimjob.
First time Kenny G played on a rock song since Steve Miller Band's "I Want to Make the World Turn Around" almost 25 years ago. He was on that tune, he wasn't playing soprano saxophone he was playing tenor saxophone and did very well I must add.
@crazedcanadian2001 Rivers and him came to an agreement: Rivers wanted to be more free on stage so he didnt wanna play guitar unless he had to. Pat said he would play the guitar, so now Pat plays most of the guitar parts that Rivers would usually play, which means he cant play the drums (hence why they hired Josh Freese).
i highly disagree. i played sax for 7 years. he's a very talented musician. And if your missing his feeling, listen to his xmas albums. its all there =] i agree with you on lil wayne though
Anyone else notice that you can't hear Brian's guitar at all?
