Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 37

I am also in the group where Beverly Hills was my first real exposure in 5th grade or so, but I didn't really start listening to them for a while after that. I pieced together the Blue album over the years from things like My Name Is Jonas on guitar hero, a friend in high school playing the Sweater Song, and obviously Buddy Holly and Say It Aint So just being huge songs. And I knew some of the other bigger songs, but other than that it wasn't until they played Riot Fest in like 2014 that I started actively listening, so I'm pretty late to the party.

 

I think I was in 6th grade and I gave my aunt an overdraft fee to buy Pork and Beans on iTunes. Kinda forgot about them after that. When I was starting 9th grade they played at the local fair and a bunch of my friends were going so I went with them. Rivers barely played guitar at all and I think they debuted Memories there. 2 months later and I was a Pinkerton stan haha.

 

Weezer: 'Our fans don't seem to age out. We must be doing something right'

"He communicates daily with a few-hundred Weezer diehards, who form a sort of focus group; in 2022, he wants to release four seasonal albums, each with corresponding theme (“Happy, chill, stress-free for spring, lots of Elliott Smith-style loss and sadness for winter, and maybe fall could be dance-rock, like Franz Ferdinand”)."

oh.. my God. Please be good.

 

Yep my very first exposure to them was also Beverly Hills when I was around 10 lol... definitely didn't really get into them until a few years later though. My first time seeing them was very similar to when @ComedownMachine saw them I'm pretty sure, it was actually a free show where I live for a surfing event, and it was around Raditude/Hurley era.

 

Elliott Smith-style Weezer songs? yes please, immediately, thanks

 

i did not ask for everyone’s age

Also got it with the green album

 

Wait I can't believe I forgot, I actually got Hurley not long after it came out, mostly because I loved Lost and I liked a few of their songs, so I figured why not. So that was technically my first full Weezer album, but I only ended up listening to it a couple times. I did always love Memories though, it's still one of my top songs of theirs.

 

Hash Pipe came out towards the end of my Sophmore year in high school and that's when I finally decided to get on the Weezer train. I had heard the Blue singles and loved the Buddy Holly video when it came out when I was like 10, but I never dove deeper until Green was about to release (1994 me was apparently too into Dookie to give any other rock album a chance).

 

i was listening to Crab when the towers fell

 

Born in 95, I think Beverly Hills was the first Weezer song I ever remember hearing

 

cool

 

Growing up I only listened to Christian music and oldies, and when I was in 6th grade I discovered 3 albums that changed my life.

Blue, Bleed American and Dookie

 

Meep meep

It's not 'Pinkerton.' But Weezer's Rivers Cuomo gets pretty emo on 'OK Human'

 

July 30 I’ll be 34

 

2021 is truly a wild year for Weezer
two new albums
25 year anniversary for Pinkerton
20 year anniversary for Green

holy shit

 

Mexican Fender is so good.

 

man i really hope the vax can go wide soon. i’m sure it won’t this year. but it’d be rad to see them in a big dumb field with all these milestones happening

 

I just want Weezer in the big dumb field to play all of Van Weezer, Green, and Pinkerton

I need a 3 hour set of the weeeez man

 

It's impossible to be optimistic, but at least Biden is trying to buy enough doses for it be widespread by summer. Of course there are a thousand things that have to go right for everything to happen that way, but it's more planning than we've ever had

 

I'm far more worried about the amount of people who refuse to take the vaccine than the amount of doses that will be available in the coming months.

 

Yeah that really is a huge problem that's gonna fuck a lot up.

 

to be fair they could play all 3 of those in a 90 minute set too haha
