The blue album is one of the best alternative rock albums of all time.

@Micah_4D Год назад

💯Thank Matt Sharp. 😇

@Redsdelight Год назад

Absolutely. One of 3 albums that I can listen to each song without skipping any. Its a masterpiece of an album.

@phenom5817 Год назад

In no particular order - Weezer: Blue Album; Live: Throwing Copper; Nirvana: In Utero; Stone Temple Pilots: Core; Pearl Jam: 10

Agreed! But for real I never thought sweater song sounded like Welcome Home Sanitarium. Have to listen again back to back

Metallica's busy making their next album that'll come out in 2036.

The cover I didn't imagine I needed to hear. If Metallica won't do it Jim Breuer does a great James Hetfield impression.

Rivers is a metalhead at heart. Metalheart perhaps?

@bannedtwice7767 Год назад

Rivers is a master at writing catchy ass songs.

@jessperson9750 Год назад

Conan makes a good point- you never hear anyone say "Hey that kinda sounds like Weezer" about any other band. Incredibly Unique- never sounds like anybody else.

I wish Rivers recorded a serious folky indie CD. It has so much potential.

@MediaPastimes Год назад

Rivers Cuomo was the sole inspiration behind my decision to start playing guitar, I saw him in the music video for "Hash Pipe" - and thought "I look like a nerd, he looks like a nerd, but he absolutely shreds and looks so badass! I want to be like him!!!" Still playing, and I still think of Rivers every time I see a beige or green stratocaster.

Since listening to this episode, I'll never unhear the Metallica nod in "The Sweater Song."

@gdoubleyou3159 Год назад

Another thing you can't unhear is the strong Kurt Cobain vibe on their original album, especially Say It Ain't so.

True. I play them both...had never made a connection...but now the similarity is all I hear!!

@LedaSBotelho Год назад

The Blue Album is so iconic. What was said is absolutely true. You don't hear anything similar to Weezer's sound. Gotta give it up to Rivers.

@WileECoyoder Год назад

"Sanitarium" might be the perfect Metallica song to have inspired another, considering Metallica had lifted concepts for that song from 2-3 others (chiefly "Rainbow Warrior" by Bleak House and "Tom Sawyer").

@providentpathfinders219 Год назад

Electric Ballroom, Tempe AZ. First time I saw them live. Back when they were doing smaller shows still.

@joem5903 Год назад

Billy Gibbons and Moving Sidewalks did that to Jimi. the first show whee they opened for him in Texas. They didn't have enough original tunes yet to fill up a 30 minute set, so they played Purple Haze. Jimi was supposedly amused.

@Jan-se1nd 8 месяцев назад

Weezer was such a huge part of my early teen years. It always makes me happy to think of those times with my friends, transitioning from very much being a child to a teen -- suddenly being 15 and going to parties and getting drunk with good friends while listening to the Blue Album.

One of my favorite songs from Weezer. That riff is epic, but Rivers nails a triple for me at least. Lots of hooks.

The Blue Album is the only CD 💿 I’ve bought three times: 1. When I was in high school and bought a shitty scratched up used disc from a dipshit friend on a lark, only to discover what an absolute gem the album is. 2. I finally bought a proper new retail CD. 3. They released the Deluxe Edition 2-disc set and I had to buy that too. It’s definitely worth it.
