Yes, that's the point. Even though he sounds mediocre in live, the studio recordings are not subject for artificial tuning of the vocalist's voice either
He doesnt use many vocal effects in the studio, thats apparent, but have you ever heard of Chris Cornell or Layne Stayley? Ann Wilson? These are singers far above him, who also sound just like the record. Weezer is honestly a thing all their own in my opinion. He has a Kurt Cobain thing going on, where he really isn't the best singer or guitarist, but he can write some amazing songs.
I don't know why people hate on the other version of the song. At the end where Brian and Scott sing "Perfect situation..." while Rivers is singing the "Oh" parts makes the song a whole lot better, in my opinion.
Right now this is my favorite song ever. I love Weezer and I'm waiting for them to play either in Milwaukee or somewhere close to me. Hint hint....come and play more in Wisconsin guys!!!
What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain. There's the pitch, slow and straight. All I have to do is swing and I'm the hero, but I'm the zero. Hungry nights, once again Now it's getting unbelievable. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can't get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. I just pass through... singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Get your hands off the girl, Can't you see that she belongs to me? And I don't appreciate this excess company. Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander... Can you blame her? singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Tell me there's a logic out there. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Tell me there's some hope for me. I don't wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth. [solo] Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
by far one of my favorite bands... i love them live...always on with the vocals and what not. they wont record what they cant reproduce live. Rivers is always spot on.
this song will never get old 2 me...honestly i hopeu guys believe me but I'm going through so much drama and heartbreak and when i listenend 2 this song he just spoke 2 me and made me smile again 2 the point where i want 2 move 4ward and not feel bad any longer...rivers cuomo is one human being i wana meet one day! weezer and foo fighters and hoobastank are my idols (and nirvana and incubus of course) lol
It’s hilarious how Pat messes up right at the start lol but good recovery. This original version is 100x better than the newer one they replaced it with too
To be fair (and I'm a huge Weezer fan), a lot of Weezer songs are very easy to play (mainly power chords) and aren't hard to pick up. However, I think that's why he's so greatly underrated... he can really shred (as seen in concerts), but he just seems not to as much on the albums.
@ATLB505 I know how you feel dude, I'm in Band and six months ago we marched the parade in my hometown of San Antonio, TX. The cutest girl ever who's in Color Guard talks to me and I completely freeze up like every nerd does. Then I begin making conversation, and to this day we are an ever so happy couple. :) So don't worry. your time will come. I'm sure of it.
ฝรั่ง spell like 'Fa-rang'. It is a thai word to call white caucasian people who have different looks from asian and this word was from when Portuguese step inside the country and thai people just couldn't pronounce "Foreigner". So it went from foreigner to fa-rang.
@bucknutz021891 Every last Rolling Stones tour has been the best selling tour. And I feel like Van Halens tour was more anticipated/selling. So...yeah. If Weezer broke up for 5 years and came back, it'd be just as anticipated, I feel like. But I feel like they're equals.
