I love old Weezer, its great. Some of River's solo stuff is decent as well. Honestly though this isn't a very good version of Don't Worry Baby. The song is a classic and he sang it poorly. I would have liked it if he had given it his own twist, but he didn't. Seriously, I'm a fan of his, but the truth is the truth. THIS IS NOT A GOOD VERSION OF THIS SONG.
Hey now wait a second,I really like and respect the talents of Weezer and Rivers.I REALLY do mean that!! But to compare him to BRIAN WILSON!!!! some of you need to get educated on the true GENIUS!!!!
As much as I love Rivers and look up to him as my musical idol, I really think he could've did a better job with this cover. It might just be me, but some of the vocals sound a little flat, and the guitars sound way too muddy.
are you kidding me ? weezer is a good band, and Rivers is a good song writer, but to compare him to brian wilson? pet sounds was crap? SMiLE? also crap? people have their own opinions but your comment is un-educated and very disrespectfull.
please don't listen to him, graffer...he gives weezer fans a bad name. we're really a nice group of people if you get to know us lol. brian wilson was an amazing songwriter.
I like the original because its so clean and pretty, and while I can appreciate the attempt by ol Rivers I'm not sure all the muddied up sounds do the song justice. The harmonies during the chorus arent bad though. I'm sure if I heard this version first I'd love it but you can't really top the original. Mr Cuomo is still a great.
I kinda like the muddied sound. I usually hate when covers sound just like the original. Kinda boring. Check out Billy Joel's cover of DWB. Pretty awesome! And Paul Simon's cover of Surfer Girl - sublime!
Aw, I just wrote you a nice response, but it disappeared. :( Oh well. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make the videos. My top three would probably be Purification of Water, I Don't Want to Let You Go, and My Day is Coming, but that's only because I have heard The Prettiest Girl... before (though I like the album version better). I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!
i had a dream i killed myself last night and this song was playing for some reason

Damn, this is a VERY good cover, both 2 legendary bands (even though its Rivers alone). Song is very reminiscent of Weezer's Blue Album I think...

@RenegadeMilkmen Considering the guitars were recorded with no amp or post-distortion tone settings, they sound pretty good.
