Someone else on Reddit pointed out that Rivers might be ashamed of that era because he was in an out of character place at the time & was a total control freak. Meditation is what helped him humble up big time.
@@flamingcabbage8359 He was in the early years of the band when their original bassist (Matt Sharp) operated more as the band's frontman due to Rivers being extremely shy. He's come out of his shell a lot more in recent years (and he kind of has to because 90% of the material in Weezer is written by him).
The Oasis story is hilarious. Oasis were a brilliant band & full of personality which is sadly lacking these days. Anyone want to listen to it it’s about 5mins 13 secs into this video.
