  • If anyone's interested I have this on video from a concert one year ago on my page.

  • If anyone's interested I have an updated version of this on my page.

  • the weezals:)

  • Awesome(:

  • weezer song

  • New Weezer is new Weezer, and The Rentals are The Rentals. Both are good... but neither are as good as Weezer was with Matt Sharp.

    Oh, and if you listen to the music you can tell it's got Matt written all over it, and the lyrics are very much in Rivers' style. No way is it solely either of theirs.

    Man it sucks that they couldn't get more than two albums out before parting ways.

  • @Tchekov006 according to rivers cuomo, weezer abandoned this type of sound because matt sharp "stole" it for his other band, the rentals. that's why black hole was never released.

  • @Tchekov006: I couldn't agree more... it's been like 17-18 years and Blue, Pinkerteron, The Rentals and & More minutes are still in my rotation

  • I appreciate Matts playing but i hate how he attacks the strings, It pisses me off for some reason.

  • This is a weezer song!

  • He looks like he's dressed up as Rivers circa 95'

  • classic

  • matt sharp if u see this, we need to hang out!

  • @lickapotato I am inviting myself to come along.

  • @hannahbanana2633 alright its a party than!

  • My fav b-side!

  • @iluvpinkerton ME TOO!!!!!

  • perfect speed, yo.

  • So, Matt has taken the Rivers look and added some inches? Interesting

  • wow, this is SLOW.

  • The bassist looks and acts like Artie, the Strongest Man in the Universe.

  • That's matt sharp. He's just weird.

  • bahahaha! very perceptive

  • That's 1 of my hero's Matt Sharp he is weird which is why i love him

  • This is a weezer song. It was written by Rivers Cuomo and a member of the Rentals, Rachel Haden made a guest appearance and sung it. This song was written right before the release of Pinkerton. It wasnt until years later that the Rentals covered it.

  • Is this a weezer song or a rentals?

  • rivers wrote this....if you listen to the weezer version, his voice comes in for the last 30 or so seconds...

  • I didn't know Rivers was in the rentals!

  • he's not. the rentals is Matt Sharp's band, the original bassist of weezer, he left after pinkerton to form the rentals and in my opinion weezer was never the same

  • Weezer was never the same because of the commercial failure of pinkerton. Rivers tried to write more personal songs and everyone disregarded it. Recently Weezer has been coming out with better stuff (i.e. the red album).

  • Yet you have to say that Pinkterton was one hell of an album. Commercial or not.

  • No doubt. Pinkerton was the greatest album Weezer has ever done, but like I said Rivers is somewhat of an odd shy guy and I think he got crushed after the failure. Critics are no judge of music, what other conclusion could one come up with when they say the Jonas Brothers are good?

  • You just spoke the thoughts of all the true die-hard fans of Weezer.

  • I think you misunderstood. Pinkerton was not a commercial album, it was a commercial failure.. it is everything that is not-commercial. Now the album is slowly edging closer to reaching platinum, the album was ahead of its time. But since the album flopped, Rivers won't make personal songs and makes generic pop songs. Red Album has two good songs, the rest shows everything that is wrong with Weezer today. Now they are a commercial success.

  • I believe I said it was a commercial failure, not a commercial album. You could have saved yourself a lot of time reading what I wrote. Instead you just regurgitated everything I already said.

  • Not you. DaFozz repled to you and said (its one hell of an album) commercial or not.

  • Ah, sorry man. It is hard to tell. Thanks for agreeing with me though.

  • I don't know man, Pinkerton is by far my favorite Weezer album. You may be right about it not selling well but that's just cause people are dumb.

  • I agree, man. The same thing happened with Arrested Development. That was the cleverest sitcom that was ever written. But people are dumb and it got canceled.

  • so true.

  • What are you referring to? Can't find the original comment.

  • AWESOME.

  • who write this song?? I bet this written by river cuomo from weezer, cuz I can feel it the way his typical song..is this song appear on the rental's album?? pls tell me

  • Rivers wrote the song for his abandoned "Songs From The Black Hole" album, and the song was recorded for the album mentioned and was left off of Pinkerton when they put 4 of the SFTBH songs on it. However, This song was released with the release of the "The Good Life" single.

  • @lazrpo1nt3r  Dude, listen to the song. Rivers probably helped, but it's Matt Sharps.

  • @glassfrehley This song is most definitely Rivers's. I can listen to this song as many times as I want and you can argue it all you want, but this song was written solely by Rivers for the abandoned Songs From The Black Hole rock opera (that was only written by Rivers.) Hell, on the Weezer DVD "Video Capture Device," there is a snippet of Weezer playing a full band rendition of the song with Rivers singing during the Pinkerton sessions.

    Face it, Rivers wrote this song by himself.

  • like lazrpo1nt3r says. one thing to add is that rachel haden (the girl singing in the vid) is the same one from the recorded version of this song.

  • is that matt wearing the glasses

  • Yep, just like he did on David Letterman.

  • My first child is going to be conceived to this song.

  • Awkward

  • message me for my number, we should get coffee :D

  • WAIT, YOU'RE A MAN

  • Christmas in July w/ Ryen Slegr.

    haha. no one notices that Ryen plays deck the halls at the end "jamming" part. that kook!

  • best weezer song ever

  • I love this song.

  • Did rivers write this? or someone else?

  • yea rivers wrote it to be on some cd called black hole (just before pinkerton) or so i read on another video.

  • shit playa! this was gonna be on black hole. fuck, its an awesome song.

  • Rivers. and it was intended for Songs From The Black Hole. It was supposed to be a parallel of his new rock star life. It was scrapped and instead we got Pinkerton. It has today not yet been released because 1. Geffen will not allow him to(unless he leaves them after A70 and 2. Sharp released ROTR which borrowed much sound from SFTBH and Rivers didnt want it to seem like he copied Matt.

    yup

  • Dayme, sounds like it could all be resolved with a hug and some love, not to mention the scrubs.

  • rivers wrote it

  • *applauds thehazeisgod*

  • This is such a good song!*****

  • this is one of my favourite weezer songs :)

  • The fact that the Rentals resurrected this on their tour, to me is really monumental. I own the good life ep and this is one of my favorite weezer songs.

  • =w= forever

  • He's actually the humblest, nicest "rockstar" I've ever met. Maybe he's a dick behind the scenes, but he sure shows his fans sincere appreciation.

  • this isn't weexer with velcro?

  • The original was credited to Weezer w/ Rachel Haden (the chick singing up there) on vocals. Velcro did a cover of the song for a Weezer tribute CD.

  • nice weezer song

  • haha i love the synthesizer so much XD great song, thx for sharing! :)

    knowledge pwn3d...

    thank you,,im finally being recognized for something..look out world..im on my way..and i bite..

    =swoop=

  • One of the best Weezer's melody

  • awesome vocals

  • at the end it looked like there was about to be some sorta bass-off

  • Nah...that's just because they had to switch instruments back going into Friends Of P. Better to keep the crowd pumped up than stop and switch (which they do many times during the show)

  • i love weezah b-sides

  • Sorry I meant Gb, B, E, A

  • God, that's a great song. Love the rentals. ( I know it's a weezer song)

  • actually, she sang it for weezer.

  • Anyone know the chords to this song?

  • i think this is rachel haden

  • one of my fav songs!! =w= + rentals = superb!

  • Any idea why they don't include Summer Girl in their set? They seemed to play a good majority of their songs and even a cover or two. Maybe because the girl who co-wrote it is no longer in the group?

  • Just wish they'd do SFTBH.

    =W=

  • This is a very beautiful song very sweet with a very nice melody...in a word...Sensational!!!Thanks Weezer, thanks Rentals!

  • This is one of my favorite songs ever. Thanks for posting it!

  • I was at this show!!!!!

  • as much as this song is amazing, and as much as i love the rentals, watching matt sharp prance around the stage in the end kinda ruined it for me lol.

  • Matt's always been like that...

  • great quality video/song

  • thanks!!  :-)

  • this song means so much to me :')

  • Thanks!
