RARE-WEEZER - getchoo live in the studio for fan club... 

Haiden Gerstner Matt Sharp would still be in the band

@@ObiWanKenobi maybe not

Obi-Wan Kenobi Nah, Matt still probably would’ve left

Pinkerton is their best album ever!

Obi-Wan Kenobi he still would’ve left, he was sick of being a bassist. Pinkerton’s failure meant nothing in that retrospect

Lol

Bruh

Cause it’s not him 😜

That ain't matt sharp that's Scott shriner.

Asar the Wise r/Woooosh

I love weezer pop rock or not, people are just picky and can't enjoy damn music sometime

Blue, Pinkerton, EWBAITE and White are the only ones I would consider as "great records".

Blue album was Pop Rock

I believe that people called out the soulless music because Weezer/Rivers was not being true to themselves. Rivers is definitely a guy who can write fantastic pop songs, but he’s also a guy with some emotional baggage that is very meaningful. Trying to cover that up with the Green Album seemed kinda fake. Pinkerton has the best of both worlds.

Weird, I always thought it was well received. It was among me and my friends as teens anyway

I loved this album, the only criticism i have is that i felt it was too short. otherwise its the tits.

Yeah, It's simply amazing. This and the Blue Album are the best. Also, I was wrong, it came out in 96'. Didn't think it was THAT old! XD

Critics hated The Velvet Underground and nico when it first came out and now it's one of the most influential albums of all time. Just like Pinkerton ;)

You know what satisfies a craving for more Pinkerton? A good helping of Deluxe Edition. ;) wait.... No.... I just want more then..... Never mind.

ChanceBarberFilms you mean 1996

+Amanda Lucia meh, it's too whiny and dark. When I first started listening to it I thought it was their best album but then one time I was listening to it in the car while driving my friends and they were like "wtf is this shit? early emo?" and it made me think. It made me realize just how whiny the singing and lyrics really are - I was so captivated by the music at first that I overlooked it - and REALLY hate whiny singing from men. Pretty much the only whiny Music I "like" is from Weezer and Muse... they can somehow pull it off, but it's a HUGE turn off from me in general. Largely because of that, the abrasive sound and lack of rockability I rate Pinkerton as their third best album after Blue and Green.

It IS early emo, how did you not already know that? Written by a lonely college kid living in a dark room with a bum leg. The album is perfect, b-sides and all.

+Stephen Richards your friends are a bad influence

Amanda Lucia early emo?Dude I was in high school when Weezer came out and they ain't emo.emo is young men crying for sure ,but Weezer is generally happy...their guitarist died ...that may have caused some sadder songs but I just looked at this by chance.im not a hardcore Weezer fan ,but buddy holly and that if you want to destroy my sweater song are not emo.they go for the nerd" buddy holly "look...it's their shtick. I guess you'll be calling Roy Orbison emo next lol smh. Being dark or sad doesn't immediately make you emo. Typo O negitive has some of the the saddest songs in modern music...they are GOTHIC but they are also metal/ rock and similar to Weezer don't scream like they want to cut their wrists which seems to be the ultimate definition of emo BESIDES hardcore dual guitar and drumming.old school emo was really a version of hardcore that got out of hand and became the retarded trash it's evolved into today. That's your music lessons for today,goodbye children

Stephen Richards Wow you totally let others influence your personal tastes. You seem like another weak minded sheep. You only like weezer and muse. You are a radioslave. Go listen to more music before you go giving your shit opinion backed with little knowledge of what you're really talking about. "lack of rockability" what are you going on about? Spew less nonsense and go broaden your musical horizons. Inform yourself about good bands before you try to make a point or else someone will really shit all over you.

😂

I mean noone else....lmao

@@rob1973ablebruh 13 years ago ahaha. this is my current account, i posted the og comment

Looks like they both got Boss DS-2 pedals... sometimes nothin' beat a good ole Boss DS-1 or DS-2

Probably because they're tired

that's the way the demo sounds

ColdToiletSeats I know right! Another impersonating group of scumbags.

I might hear a person coming in and getting woodshed later on...

they should start a band or something

they're actually a banda called pinkerton

And they look just like buddy holly

sounds better

It sounds better in the sense that the recording is alot more clear. It sounds worse in the sense that these guys are not 25 anymore and lack the energy they had in 96.

@@marillionbonaparte no it definitely sounds better

@@morganfreeman2102 Rivers' vocals are far worse here, he sounds so tired.

As long as you put it in 1.25 speed

Best record of all time in my opinion. I think Weezer just existed for a moment in time and then moved on. When you are writing songs about being a poor, loner, young adult in unrequited love, it doesn't help your song writing when you get rich, famous, old and married.

I completely agree. This record came at just the right time for me...I can listen to the tracks now and have different emotional memories from each track....

exactly, me too.

The greatest underrated album of all time.

i always thought this was the weakest on the album (my favorite album too btw)

mcbillygoat ! And el scorcho

I guess you could call it a Perfect Situation.. Cringe

@@4ppletv376 this was so bad that he decided to disappear

That was for just that song. He has bigger pedal arrays in other performances.

All you really need to perform most any Pinkerton song on guitar is a good overdrive and something like a Boss DS-2 and stack that shit

So much energy....

@@gawrgurafan1257 vocals are super inspired too

Hey Annika

@@nnikaa3 hey

@@annika6790 what r u doing here

They do? I just hear open chords?

@@jasonsneed3731 Yeah man, too bad they aren't doing 50 solos instead... Moron.

SmileWilliam and now the white album and black album hype

JumpOffABridgeM8 pacific daydream looks meh

if only you knew about pacific dream 3 years ago. lol

Quin Rizer it’s terrible

Bumping for time travelers

it sounds like that one song from Maladroit

Kinda sounds like Somewhat Damaged by NIN

I know this post was from 10 yrs ago, but the riff you are talking about is the run-up to the ending...Sorry if this has been mentioned already...

Thats right except Soundgarden should have done it with Badmotorfinger...

That would've have been sweet

They did.

Weezer or Soundgarden?

***** Weezer. Check out the Memories tour.

I understand this was posted 3 years ago and you may not even see it but the reason Rivers was upset because Pinkerton was horribly received by fans and critics at the time of its release.

wrong. fans loved pinkerton from the start. It only got bad reviews for a brief period of time and by relatively few outlets.

@@hkhjg1734 It was rated the 2nd or 3rd worst album of 1996 by Rolling Stone readers... wouldn't consider that love

+Kyle Wagoner idk but its all about how you tune your snare! i have two of the exact same snares tuned differently and one sounds like this the other is a bit deeper.

To be clear, I have been intimately familiar with Weezer's work since the 90's, tyvm

I can't believe I hadnt heard this performance until today, its so good

Because, they're trying to nail all the technicalities. I mean damn, it sounds like the studio recording.

My thought exactly. The screams just dont feel the same

Keep in mind this is when they were rehearsing the entire album in order to start playing it live in late 2010. I'm thinking the focus here is on getting things right and working the details out rather than going ham with energy. It sounded a lot better when actually played live later on.
