@CJS925 Not necessarily, it depends on the part you're playing. For instance, most weezer basslines are simple so multi-tasking bass and singing would be easy.. But if you're talking about a band like Red Hot Chili Peppers, it would be impossible.
Just cuz it's an easy song to play and sing, he still has to memorize every chord, every time to switch cords, and every lyric, plus guitar solos to every song the band plays which is a lot to say te least
@kotevich hate to shit on you, rivers is a genius and what not weezer is my favorite band by far, but playing a simple 4 chord progression and singing isn't too much of a task... anyone whos been playing guitar for a while can do it in their sleep.
agreed plus it would kind of make the band more fair since rivers is singer, songwriter and lead guitarist he is the only one seen as important, but if brian became lead guitarist/keyboards/backing vocalist he would be seenas more important
I saw Weezer last week in San Diego and Brian did a lot more of the leads. Heck, even Pat got off the drums and played some songs, including the leads for 'Undone'. Rivers spent a lot of time without a guitar in hand, and for 'My Name is Jonas' everyone except Rivers took turns singing different parts. They definitely mixed it up a bit.
but make believe is much better than maladroit?! i liked there first 3 cds, and 5, maladroit was kinda weak, red album is garbage, angel and the one and pork and beans saved it from being complete garbage
i've gotta agree with you on that. They played with (in the same time) bands like Nirvana, Green Day, Coldplay. All very successful bands. So awesome.

i hope you know that bass is harder to play and sing than guitar by far. that's why there's so many guitar playing frontmen and not bassist frontmen.

But that's not the point. Anyone can learn and play any song.
But NOT everyone could put these chords in this order/with the emotion/play them like that/ etc.
