  • this is like that nirvana interview

  • I miss mikey

  • loling my ass off

    

  • What's the craziest thing that might happen? I don't know, probably a mental breakdown caused by undiagnosed bipolar disorder and drug use.

  • 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.

  • so do they do drugs or not?

  • Comment removed

  • Mikey looks really different here, then again the only time I've really seen him was on the cover of the Green album.

  • @ptansani where is Mikey now?

  • @ericmsandoval dont know

  • @ericmsandoval

    he had a nervous breakdown caused by drug use, and left the band after several suicide attempts via drug overdose

  • Mikey was one the funniest members of Weezer. He's hilarious in the interviews in the Weezer Vault DVD.

    "Who the /fuck/ let me grow this moustache?"

  • "Why can't we have a Weezer happy meal at McDonald's or something?" lol That's clever promotion ideas that doesn't exist anymore in 2010.

  • FU MAN CHU MUSTACHE!

  • That was amazing! Thanks for sharing.

  • Comment removed

  • I had a fuckin' fu manchu mustache and found my closet full of Hawaiian shirts.. XD

  • What song starts at 3:10?

  • 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??

  • WRONG! lol

  • ahahaha, these guys kick arse!

  • Surely Rivers hasn't done drugs? I like his image as the clean innocent self-loathing geek:p

  • 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.

  • he was buddhist his whole life. Right?

  • hehehehe flute shop. XD

  • "I'm gonna buy a '68 Camaro when I get home" That made me laugh for some reason.

  • I'm just gonna say, that I've been a die-hard Weezer fan since I was young! Most kick-ass band I know!

  • 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.

  • let's get some fritos

  • welsh wasnt in weezer very long. like i saw weezer in sept 2000 and his replacement scott was already in the band

  • Scott joined in 2002, bro.

  • No, fall 2001.

  • Ah yes, you're right, thanks.

  • No problem :)

  • I got a bitchin' Camaro

  • lucky

  • 1:10 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • haha mikey is not going to do any thing crazy, like try to kill himself teehee

  • what the hell is mikey talking about at the beginning

  • Toast, Mikey was talking about how bands can be good without wearing odd costumes, or making funny noises in their songs.

    I think he might have been knocking Beck a little, there.

  • I WANT A WEEZER HAPPY MEAL!!!

  • oh hell yea that would be sweet McWeeze the golden upside down arches lol

  • 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

  • i can see why they got rid of mikey. he is a dic.

  • wow..that was.....AWSOME!

  • rap metal? wow, i was waaaay off.

  • What was the song that was played right after Iron Man?

  • I was wondering the same thing, haha.

  • Cities On Flame With Rock N' Roll by Blue Oyster Cult

  • lol thats wrong

  • actually it's godzilla

  • I like scott, he's pretty funny too

  • What albums did Mikey record on? I think it's green era...? Help me out here

  • 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.

  • why did he sue?

  • hey scotts alright, but hes just kinda weird, and looks like a tropical bird

  • lol I never realized how fun Mikey was

    =W= for life!

  • haha 'bitchin' camaro'. dead milkmen are awesome XD

  • Apparently Robert Sledge was a contender to replace Mikey. That would have made life worth living, all over again...

  • They also had a chance to get Matt back again.

    But of course, they didn't.

  • "brian might open a flute shop or something" is one of my favourite =w= quotes ever.

  • hahaha stoners

  • Mikey's hella funny

  • god mikely is hilarious they should have keeped him scott is a dick

  • 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!

  • sooooo funny!

    i love weezer!

  • mikey welsh, i met him last night. GREAT ART SHOW!

  • "that was..it was...we're so good!, lets go get some fritos!"

  • mikey is the besttttttttttttttttt

  • HAHAH PAT! "I can't smoke pot anymore...I wish I could..."

  • Mikey was really cool, he fit weezer perfectly.

  • could not have been said better

  • Brain's my favorite too. only i didn't consider it a diss. he's my favorite BECAUSE he "might open a flute shop or something" lol

    but anyway, thanks for uploading this!
