Yes, I found this song through GH, but I like it. Look at it this way, GH is really meant to open the younger generation up to music they haven't heard before. I had NEVER heard My Name is Jonas before GH, but now that I've outgrown GH I'm actually trying to learn guitar and I still listen to this song! XD So don't bash GH (just bash 30-something year olds that still play it... =_=)
Whats this Guitar Hero you speak of? I assume its some game that people who have no skill can feel good about themselves by playing this plastic guitar and play great songs which turns them to mainstream and all these nubs play it and assume their fans because they know 1 song?
I think this song would make more sense if Songs from the Black Hole was released right after Blue Album, since "Jonas" is the main character to the album's concept. Heh, but y'know, I'm fine with the Blue/Pinkerton-era. I'd still kill a man for an official release of SftBH, though.
actually, it's quite a simple song to play on guitar , good for people that have playing guitar for a good amount and want to feel like a badass. and i even learned the harmonica parts so i could feel like a mega badass.
@assainkiller52341 well the first time I heard this was nearly 15 years ago. Was feeling nostalgic tonight... One of my favorite weezer songs... go suck a dick if u came here from guitar hero... seriously, whatta douhe. Ur art teacher is prolly cool, but guitar hero is for shitty shit kids
I remember digging a ditch for this dude so I could get the money to buy the cassette when it came out. I ran through 3 cassettes and am on my second cd. Before I die I am going to listen to this freaking album so I will go in bliss.
weezer was on kroq this morning, and one of the guys talked about how his neighbors were like "hey weezer guy we'll play my name is jonas on rockband" or something like that, and they played expert level, and beat him. haha weezer makes my life so much better. x)
@darkblueaura8 i think pearl jam fits the description, and bush, and green day, and the sex pistols, and silverchair... it just kind of goes on and on
@supermonkeyman12 Pearl Jam comes close, my favorite PJ song is Even Flow which is their 2nd song on Ten. Green Days first song off their first album is 'At the Library' off of '39/smoothed out slappy hours', maybe that is your favorite I'm not going to judge, but seriously they have at least 40/50 songs better than that one.
@darkblueaura8 Pearl Jam is fucking epic... The whole album Ten is great, start to finish.. I actually think Once is my favorite song off that album XD
@darkblueaura8 well played sir, and i misunderstood, i thought u meant the debut album all together, but oh well it doesnt really matter, have a good day
LOL, i remeber i used to do this thing w/ my dad. this game was you'd hum a bit of a song & the other would try to guess the song. one day, i did this song. & i only did the part where he says "my name is jonas" .... it took HOURS for my dad to get it xDD
@polishpridemachine1 You do realize it is spelled Mickey and he did not join Weezer until 1998 when Matt Sharp left. This album was released in 1994. You are an insult to Weezer.
@CoolerItem So, if a guy who hasn't been in the band when this song was made he shouldn't be remembered when he dies? You are an insult to your parents.
@GravesGaming I never said anything about that, but in any situation you should spell the name right when you are remembering someone. Its like misspelling a gravemarker.
