weezer - the most unbelievable thing I've seen an artist do

[Trauma-san]

Man, I was over on www.weezer.com, and I don't know if yall know much about weezer, but get this.

Rivers Cuomo is the lead singer and head writer of the band, and basically, he's a genius.  In the literal sense.  For instance, after their first album, he went to Harvard, and said he'd be walking down the hall, and see kids with Weezer shirts on, and they never even recognized him, lol.

anyways, get this.  He's been going on his message board, on weezer.com, and talking with the fans privately getting ideas for Weezer's next album.  Emailing them back and forth answering their questions, because he said he decided that hardcore fans aren't in it for money like a producer would be, and wouldn't care what the albums sold, so it'd be a good way to get criticism that's ONLY artistic.  

"One other thought: I went through a massive Oasis phase in 97-99. I bet Liam rubbed off on me. He's a very non-dynamic singer. Perhaps his influence wasn't a good thing. "

(answering people complaing about his voice sounding' different' on their last album)

"Do you think it's possible that the songs on Green are actually really good and that we just choked in the studio? I mean, not just me, but all four of us in Weezer. I feel like if we had managed to attack the songs with more conviction, people wouldn't have noticed the things like impersonal lyrics or repetitive song structures as much. But I could be wrong. "

Asking why they didn't like the last album as well.

He'd post like half-finished songs on the site, then ask people if they liked the direction, and if they did, he'd go finish them, or if they didn't, LOL he'd go change the song around, that's HILARIOUS, LOL.  

I think that's awesome that he keeps in touch with his fans like that.  He even gave out free tickets to half the people on the message boards, on the last album, he thanked them and called them 'co-producers', and posts videos of them in the studio, and all that stuff.  Nice guy.

[verbalassaulta]

Dam thats dope.  Like if I was making an album I would research to and make sure I was releasing shit that people wanted to hear and shit.  Thats a great idea, Weezer are cool, I think they done a song called Island In The Sun, I bumped that track.

[King Tech Quadafi]

i like weezer...not in the "ima buy their album" , but the "im not a big rock fan but i like em"

i luved Hash Pipe, and Buddy Holly, the video was hilarious

but yeah thats FUCKIN AMAZING that weezer does it, u think if snoop did that he would have a classic by now?

[Trauma-san]

Yeah, weezer is a very respectable band.


Snoop would probably misinterpret it, haha.

This dude's like "So, you think the chord structure is good going into the chorus? I like the Dm, but then the scale rising up into the IV chord I think brings the dynamics to a level of intensity that sounds great"

snoop'd be like "I"ll bet yall groovin' to that Stacy Adams sticky icky, holla at a dogg"

grr grr.... grr grr... SAY IT AIN't SOOOOOO- Oh Oh OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH My Love Is A LIFETAAAAAAAAAAAKEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[Suga Foot]

LOL

[Trauma-san]

I saw 'em live one time, ooh booy.  haha, it was awesome, in this little tiny club, everybody was singing all loud, everybody was drunk, yellin SAYYY IT AINNNT SOOOOOOOOOOOOO it was hilarious.  This dude next to me was about 450 pounds, yelling it, and dancing, LOL and then these two little girls jumped on stage, and the bassist chased them off stage (still playing bass) and dissapeared for about 5 minutes (STILL playing bass), and then got back on stage, haha.  Didn't miss a beat

[T-Dogg]

Ain't feelin Weezer much, but it's cool how they treat the fans like that. Although Buddy Holly was dope.

Oasis though... I dig their shit. Too bad Liam's havin' those fits all the time, they can't do new shit. And it just ain't the same with Noel doin' the lyrics.

[Trauma-san]

Yeah! I hope Liam gets his stuff together. Then again though they just released an album last year, so as long as they get in the studio sometime this year, we're all good!
