Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 36

They’ll just add Van Halen solos to all their hits.

 

I saw them in 2002 at a venue that was big, but not massive (probably 1,000 people or so). They played like 6 songs off Pinkerton, closed with Only in Dreams, and played the Green songs with different solos that weren’t just the melody (it was pre Maladroit, so nothing off that). It was probably the best possible Weezer era, IMO.

 

how are there people older than me that post on line. does it feel this bad for yall too.

 

yea I’m 34 feelsbadman

 

Digging into the Green album after all the chatter about it in here. O Girlfriend is a fucking jam. Lotta great pop rock on this album, very consistent.

 

I think the smallest place I saw them was about 2000 people in 2001. Ozma and the get up kids opened.

 

33 here. Been here since 2003. Yikes.

 

I'm 34 (35 in July) and the Blue Album was my first CD as a kid. My older sister bought it for me for Christmas in 1994 since I liked The Sweater Song haha. It was my gateway into 90s alternative rock as a kid.

 

33 as of a few days ago, joined absolutepunk in 03ish

 

I signed up for Absolutepunk I think in 2012 after lurking around the site for a year or two.

Never spent any time in the forums there, just the homepage news articles. Chorus is waaaay cooler.

 

This is weirdly almost my exact scenario, except I’m going to be 35 in august and it was my older brother who bought me blue album haha

 

I first heard the blue album when I was in Jr High (1999-2000ish) at a youth group trip to San Fransisco with Habitat for Humanity. My friend had Blue on his portable cassette player and we hid under a table to hide from the church people and he played it for me.

Lucky for me, when I got into Blue, they were just about to release a new album (Green) and it was like I didn't have to wait. At the time, I didn't even know Pinkerton existed because it was the "weird album" that almost broke up the band or whatever, I wrote it off for a long time just thinking it sucked because people didn't like it.

 

July 31st for me so almost August haha crazy coincidence

 

Blue album came out in my freshman year of high school, same high school where Rivers was from. That's all I need to say about that haha

 

Blue album came out the year I was born. I became a Weezer fan because I heard Beverly Hills on the radio when I was 10 and I liked it so much my dad was like “you know, they have other albums” and burned me a copy of Blue

 

I remember my older brother showing me the music video for Buddy Holly on AOL telling me it was the coolest music video he’d seen in a long time...that was my intro

 

32 and since Jason posted a TOYPAJ teaser that had different clips than the blink site.

As for =w=, my cousin gave me the blue album for my bday in 01. Green was out but I didn't get to it til I bought it at the first time I saw them (Febish 02).

One thing weird to me is I was obsessed w 90s radio rock as it was happening and I don't for the life of me ever remember hearing BH/Undone/SIAS til my friend in middle school showed me them a few months before I actually got the CD. Maybe they were just out of rotation because Pinkerton had flopped by then. Champagne Supernova and Lilith Fair shit allll the time.

 

Had my mom buy Make Believe because I loved Beverly Hills. Didn't like that album much, but then loved the Red Album and Pork & Beans.

We still had a BMG music subscription, so my mom got me Blue, Pinkerton, Green, and Maladroit all in one go

 

Hell yeah, this is very close to my first exposure with them. I was in fifth grade when Make Believe came out and I remember being in the hospital and seeing the video for Beverly Hills on MTV. Next Christmas, my brother gave me the best gift I've ever gotten, a full CD case filled with burnt CDs that said "No matter what your friends say, these are the best CDs ever!!!" in sharpie. Inside were copies of Green and Make Believe along with albums by Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard...basically what led me to AP and this site.

I distinctly remember listening to Make Believe, Futures, and From Under the Cork Tree on repeat that winter. I was 11.

 

Got into Weezer in like 1999 when I heard Say It Ain't So on the radio. Blue was the most popular album at my middle school, but no one seemed to be aware that Pinkerton even existed. They put out Green when I was in the 8th grade, me and some friends wanted to take the subway to Time Square because they were doing a free performance outside the Virgin mega store, but my mom wouldnt let me go. Ended up catching them on the Maladroit tour a couple years later. Dashboard Confessional and Sparta opened. It was at that show that I actually heard Pinkerton songs for the first time, and was like "I MUST BUY THAT ALBUM!" I remember specifically it was when the breakdown happened in El Scorcho, and suddenly the platform Pat was playing on started rising into a 20 foot high "=W=." I got straight chills.

There's my Weezer origin spiel lol

 

I got the Blue album back in junior high, I think, because I loved "The Sweater Song" when I heard it on the radio. Probably in like 1998 or 1999. I honestly can't even remember. Also, it was the first and only Weezer album I've ever owned.

 

I heard them on the radio/MTV after Green but didn’t get really into them until like 5th grade or so. I remember I made a mix CD that included Weezer and random songs from the Goldmember soundtrack. I mislabeled Hash Pipe as “Hash Wipe” and got made fun of for it. In 04 when Blue Deluxe came out, I remember I had my mom drive me to Tower Records to buy their discography up until that point. They only had Pink and Maladroit, the two I’d never heard, so I grabbed them. I was supposed to volunteer as stage crew for Stations of the Cross (dumb Catholic school thing) but I forgot to go and got in trouble. I made up a lie about my grandmom being sick and it cost me a summer job.

 

I’m 36. I was 10 when the Blue Album came out, and my brother bought it. I listened to it that year or the next and they immediately opened my eyes and ears to what music could be. I didn’t know I loved music, but then Weezer showed me I did. Well. Them and my brother. Eventually I stole that CD from him.

 

Grandpa checking in. I got into them when undone first came out. Pinkerton was probably the first album I bought the day it came out.

 

Goddamn it I’ll be 36 in August.
