The Rentals - Waiting

[cinnamonspiderbones]

a mini korg.

[jamison693]

Can anyone suggest a decent synthesizer, similae to the one in this video at 0.31 for around the $1000 (£500) mark. Thanks.

[gotthejedigroove]

get a moog buddy.

[soilwork88]

i have a micro korg they are pretty good if your just starting out you can get a diffrent range of sounds for the price and you can do alot with it check it out

[jamison693]

Could you say get a sound similar to the riff played by the synth in this vid. It's just i'm really trying to go for that sort of "normal" sound that you'd hear in a poprock song, and not a sort of dancey, 80's Van Halen sound. Or am i being too picky? lol

Thanks

[soilwork88]

erm no your not being picky really. With The micro korg you can get it to sound like you want it to sound they have preset sounds and you can modify them, do what ever you want with them. It also has a vocoder a mod wheel and a pitch shifting wheel and knobs that you can turn to put delay etc etc on your sound if your a beginner i would recommend it because it is good value for money. Check out some videos on you tube tht will show u the sounds it makes

[jamison693]

Yeah i had a look at a few, but most of the poeple are just demonstrating their abilities to either play weird and obscure sounds, or "Jump" by Van Halen.

But thanks a lot buddy.

[soilwork88]

ok fair enough well id consider it because they are cheap and very good and most probably have the sound your looking for. i dunt no what sound your trying to describe but If your looking for the enter shikari kind of sound then you will easily find that because enter shikari use the micro korg i dunno well good luck with finding a suitable synth give us a shout i u need help

[SkeltonKid]

This is definitely a moog in this song, but you can get the same results with a Korg R3, which is like the microkorg but has bigger keys. They run about 5-600 dollars.

[peterson82]

i <3 petra haden

[Wes561]

2:24 it gets me every time lol

[YouXKneekXIT]

The RenTALLS are awesome! MOOG is love people hehe.

[beewcar]

hey maya rudolph!

[Cloudburst]

hells yeah!

[KyleBrock13]

lol same here i usually hate synth and moogs but i think its my overwhelming love of matt sharp thats makes this music awesome

[Roosendaal21]

NERDS!!!

[ddifulco]

These harmonies would sound complete with Cuomo.

[scottaus18]

cherielynn westrich is AMAZING.

[ddifulco]

agreed... where is she now?

[scottaus18]

apparently, she's hosting some truck show on spike tv haha

[FxxkingUp]

I think I have a huge crush on Matt Sharp.

[SleepwalkCapsules420]

this is awesome! the rentals are so cool!!!

[Doozanopia]

This song is awesome. The video is really awesome, too.

[JJJJJS]

This is AWESOME better than weezer's new albums :O

[coreygreenlol]

rentals are awesome

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

i wonder if that line about barbershop harmony was a jabb at Rivers Cuomo

[seurat2]

This has one of my favorite moments from any video ever, when Petra lands the bike, takes off her helmet, shakes her head and calmly plays her few bars of music. Makes me smile every time. Great song.

[cockatiel7]

after listening to "the return" 10001 times, it hit me.....every good album has a hook. For instance, just imagine aerosmith with ray tabano, instead of brad whitford, or danzig without glenn. Not to mention,Black Flag without Henry. Point being is thay cherie westrich's powerful, yet charming and sunny voice MADE the return of the rentals. If you don'y believe me, move on is a very nice song with rachel, but it would have been a sweet, tearjerking song with cherie.

[MicDollaBIll]

black flag was good without henry...but it was much less hardcore

[JJKId93]

Holy shit... lol i didnt know that was her amazing

[dddevin69]

that is Maya Rudolph in green on the keyboards...from SNL

[myunclesnephew]

damn! I sold this CD to my friend for 5 bucks about 10 years ago....I forgot this song was so good

[Twincest]

the chick in the green shirt IS maya rudolph... she was a keyboadist for the rentals briefly

[pazgivenchy]

haha no way

[Twincest]

yes.. im quite serious

[Alanalicious]

that chick in the green shirt kinda looks like maya rudolf

[zenitram2112]

Anyone remember when Weezer used to have backyard get togethers around 94 and 95ish? Those were some good times. Too bad they had to get all stupid. I'm guessing Matt was the backbone after all

[bradattax]

You're dumb. Matt had very little to do with Weezer's sound. However, Matt is a great musician. The REntals own, and continue to own. Matt's even said it himself that he contributed VERY LITTLE to Weezer while he was there.

BTW, Rachel Haden is the most attractive woman of all time. I met her a couple of years ago and was MIND BLOWN.

[gerardaven]

Agreed, it's just a coincidence Weezer sucks without Matt in the band.

[MonBC]

yes, that's 23 year-old Maya Rudolph (green shirt) on keyboard and vocals, way before her SNL stint!

[PunkMartyr]

I hope this band gets big they seem underrated

[TheFuriousFist]

Patrick Wilson was also in The Rentals?

[Cleeana]

which one of the band members are in Weezer?

[scaredweepel]

Matt Sharp used to be the bass player - he's on the first 2 Weezer albums! Blue and Pinkerton - Now the this is his band! The main vocals and front man!

[idontknough]

Yup. Weezer went downhill after Matt Sharp left.

[cgreen1010]

Right on!

[JJKId93]

Patrick "Pat" Wilson was there if you look closely at Friends of P video

[Pauleyh2]

yes a new album a double disc actually

[miscbws]

THAILAND '97!!!!!!!!!

[JScribbler]

Maya Rudolph!

[SmileOnADog]

I saw that too. I forgot she played with them. Was she in the band proper or just like the drummer for the B-52's?

[ani10881]

Whoa! I don't why that's a surprise to me, but it is! She's listed as providing vocals for the two songs on Seven More Minutes, but wasn't actually in the band.

[mjs3888]

She WAS in the band as a touring member. They claim her as a former Rental.

[noodles787554]

She was in the band for awhile, but left at some point in one of their tours :) I think she's only on the Return of the Rentals CD..but I could be wrong.

[Blomstrom]

I saw them in florida last summer and they rocked the shit!

[ArmpitNoises]

Weezer was never the same after Matt left.

I love The Rentals. They are rumored to be realeasing a new album some time in '08.

[savemankind]

so true

[idontknough]

Yup yup yup. they just released their EP. Check out "little bit of you" its one of their new singles.

[insectovoir]

god this sounds like weezer and ozma did a dance like no one was watchin'... sheesh

[thewenzels]

The Rentals ROCK! Mykel and Carli rocked too! Glad I found this on youtube!

[loftyspiedher]

god!!!!i fucking love the rentals!!!!!!!!!!!

and to think i almost forgot about them

tisk tisk

[NPchannel]

ahahaha i love how matt falls from the sky and starts singing with all the dust..

great band

[thodal2000]

god i thought i was the only person on the planet that like this band

[rogerclerk]

AMEN to that, with the capital letters!

[vlix5]

Why does Maya Rudolph appear in the beginning of the clip?  Weirdness. Early "acting" gig?

[mramplific]

cuz before she was on snl she was in the rentals!!

[sonofsam70]

Cool stuff!!! Makes me miss my past life.

[cockatiel7]

petra haden @ the age of 23 is downright adorable. "that dog" proved that. but cherilynn is goddess!

the rentals ARE NOT DEAD by the way.

[evolve991]

always loved this song,never saw the video. my wife flipped a car just like that one,she denies she was driving like that.....riiight

[lajuanamarrana]

superb!

more links to this kind of music!

regards from Spain

[trinklest]

why have i never heard of them before? life sucks.

[tylerdurden1221]

This song is about 12 years old. the cd is great. The singer is the bassist from Weezer.

[Balzzac]

they actually kind of remind me of blink 182 except with girl singers and a violin and a keyboard lol but other then that :P

[athenaofstarlite]

dude, it's a viola.

[Balzzac]

meh all in the same catagory

[athenaofstarlite]

I resent that.

VIOLA POWER!!!!

[weezerfreak942]

blink 182 sucks

[Balzzac]

well there broken up now so that dosent matter

[panchadls]

oooooooh que buen video. es la mezcla perfecta entre weezer y belle and sebastian, jaja los amo.

[xmxkx1]

what a jam! nice roman coppola joint to boot...

[sptaz]

Prior to joining SNL, Rudolph was briefly a keyboardist and backing singer for the band The Rentals. She sang backing vocals for "Barcelona" and "My Head Is In The Sun," both from the album Seven More Minutes. She recently recorded some tracks with The Rentals frontman Matt Sharp (most notably a cover of Tegan and Sara's "Not Tonight").

[grungegopher]

I haven't seen this video or heard this song in atleast 10 years. I had totally forgotten about it, but it's a great song.

[mamothscratchings]

i just had the same thing haPPEN.....kool

[thewinterbottom]

apparently SNL cast member Maya Rudolph was in the band, is she the girl in green? (0:08 to be specifically)

confirm/deny?

[daftpunker27]

yep..that would be her

[millerman1983]

Yeah, it's a shame they'll never be the same. That whole era of music was awesome. I'm a hardcore Weezer fan, but these guys still rock my socks. Matt Sharp kicks butt.

[lunastar22]

I love this song...wonder if they ever released anymore stuff. Oh well..they still rock!

[evilrainbow]

...

the album "seven more minutes",

and they're back together, and they're recording a new album, and they're on tour?

[tinman1er]

hardly back together, more like assembled with new parts. no mya and no cherie. and cherie was really the charming part of their music :(

[dietspritezero]

i wonder if the band does their own stunts...

[x0xninjax0x]

why did weezer let go of their bassist? i mean like wtf.

[Carvel27]

I love the Rentals!

[RnpFTW]

These kids happenin!
