Weezer aren't selling out! Watch their interview from Reading 2010. Rivers clearly says that they aren't sell outs! Also, to all Pinkerton haters-you guys would probably moan about it if they didn't make an album like Pinkerton! And to everyone else, in the course of nearly 20 years and different life changing events, Weezer had to change at some point.
Btw, to any Scott Shriner haters out there: FUCK OFF!!
If it's selling out I would do it. I can hardly pay my bills, and i hardly make money playing music. Selling out is a good thing. They can take care of their families and play music. Saw weezer in Houston TX back in 2005 i think. great show!
I dont get the Weezer "selling out" statement. They really havent changed much. Except the generation change. They can deversify their sound better than any band i can honestly think of. Bands who have sold out are bands like Linkin Park and Jimmy Eat World. Weezer are and always will be legends!! :D
i love the scene when he gets insane at 1.36. it sounds like he tries to rap and it looks hilarious when he starts moving like a nerd. :D i fuckin LOVE weezeeer
he threw it away and Brian found it. Pat suddenly decided to ignore the fact that he's one of the best drummers of all time and pretend The Special Goodness invaded Weezer, so he picked up a guitar out of his closet and said the only way he'dstay in Weezer was if he could play guitar on the next =W= tour, and Rivers thought, "Hey!, now i can really shine and try too look as if I can be cool with
just a microphone when really, I was born to write Blue Pink and Green songs with a guitar. ...they've sold out, their music now is nothing compared to what it used to be. They may have sold out, but as =W=, they could have done it in such a better way.
i luv wat u said n this message..cuz u r so write..if they wouldnt hav tried to shit on pinkerton they would hav been so much more bigger than they got
@daystilljersey No, Idiot. They've sold out. Their music is now written just to sustain airplay and keep the career aspect going. The music is not for the fans of the original albums that were great music to listen to. The radio crap they write now is pitiful. I say this as a true blue pink and green Weezer fan. They have sold out their originality entirely. You obviously don't know what it means to sell out so shut your pretentious face asshole. Have a nice day. :D
I love Weezer to the core. But I honestly have to agree, my mind just had a malfunction when I heard they were doing a song with Lil Wayne. You know...I know Weezer's pretty corny, but it just...was like...no. D:
@nyboy010101 youre just one of those typical gayass 'fans' that (regardless of which band youre talking about) just brags about how the first album was the best and the newer ones are shit. And then they act all high and mightly like they're better than others.
Well fuck you asshole, cause both their old and new work are great. Even the last two albums had songs that rate with the rest. And the old ones, well pinkerton was mostly crap, few good songs but the rest sucked.
@girlie347 There first albums were good but they are shit now lol but I mean I guess they haven't completly sold out... I mean now they have songs with rappers but I want you to was good not like the old weezer but better then their new shit
@nyboy010101 well, I think it's good that Rivers shys away from the actual music and concentrates on the lyrics. Seriously, some of their lyrics, especially on Pinkerton, were horrible
He has a distinct sound from other drummers. When you play an instrument and someone could tell who you are just by hearing the music that comes from you, that makes you great. He shows that even though he sticks to his little beats on the albums, he also throws in some very advanced fills and shows some very advanced technique.
@nyboy010101 wrong. rivers wanted to be able to move around more and put on more of a show, so for the past year they hired a new drummer so that pat could play rivers guitar part. they did it so rivers could have more fun with each show
@shaggyrogers1234 Just coz that may or not be what really happened doesn't make it right or a good thing. Rivers looks horrible without a guitar on stage. I have been a hardcore fan since blue up till maladroit. If Weezer wants to keep selling out and play only "highlight-setlists" at their shows whilst dressing up as panda bears and bugs for Yo Gabba Gabba, I will not pay for a ticket to see them. So if you disagree, that's cool, I'm in it for where it all began, not what they've become.
then why didn't they just hire a real guitarist and let patrick stay where he's needed? Cause you can obviously see patrick is struggling playing songs that I learned when I was 11.

Josh Freese on the drums... no surprise there.
That guy is a legend!
