I always thought Mikey's exit from Weezer seemed a little shady, but whatever went down, he was hilarious, as seen in this interview. Glad I got the chance to meet him. RIP Mikey.
Mikey is my favourite bassist for Weezer. Scott comes second, then Matt. He WAS my favourite, but it was the fans that ruined it for me. The constant 'bring Matt back! he was the staple of the whole band!' and shit like that...he's not coming back.
I just love Mikey. He was so funny and completely integrated in the Weezer way to be. I love Weezer and I like Rivers way to compose but I'll never forget him for not wait until Mikey gets well...
@produccionesmiranejo Rivers didn't kick him out, Mikey had a brake down because of drugs and a series of brain disorders, he is no longer involved in music at all, and now he paints...sux
It's Fu Manchu's cover of "Godzilla", originally by Blue Oyster Cult. Mikey's singing a part of Fu's "Regal Begal" here too. Listen to that shit, it friggin rocks!
thats weird ive never auctually seen weezer has the kind of band that does drugs but now i know Rivers and Pat are clean but what about Scott and Bryan??
Rivers Cuomo has done drugs, he stopped around 2002. Theres this whole article about it when he was having sex w/ groupies (thats what the song 'tired of sex' is about) and doing drugs. He became Buddhist and beat himself up for his past behavior.
Please go back to middle school and learn to speak properly and maybe next time you attempt to criticize something you could be more constructive. You are the epitome of idiocracy.
it's funny I actually feel really lucky to have seen them play in 2000 with Mikey. It was a really energetic tight show, and green album doesn't suck that much despite the bland solos
the green album. he was in Weezer from 1998-2001. He replaced Matt Sharp when he left and sued the band in 1998(obviously) Mikey is on some B sides but the official album he is on is: The Green Album.
mike is cool i wish he was still rocking with weezer rhe new guy is good but mike had the personality and the pixies esque bass lines he was a fucking legend!
this interview always makes me laugh, RIP mikey
