One of the biggest crimes this band committed was letting most of this song be a demo. I'm happy that it was still in run Raven run, but the whole song would have been the best ending to the white album. Literally white would've been a 10/10 with this song.
It’s not, it’s going to be from the third rehearsal they ever rehearsed as a band. On the official Weezer youtube they released Undone from the same rehearsal as a teaser. (by the way, i just find it so awesome that their third rehearsal EVER, recorded 3 days after they formed, was recorded and is being released!
I think about 50 of the views are just from me discovering this today. This is everything I love in music. How the hell did this not get on the album? It’s better than anything else on there. Need to find a way to get a download. 😊
My Lord, Pinkerton coulda been chock full of weird stuff and all kinds of avant garde music mixed in with many other songs besides the ones that made the final album; and it woulda been MEGA….or _MORE_ mega than it was. It coulda been a double album and double the masterpiece. But, no, even the single album masterpiece that it was/still is was slammed by critics and a certain part of the fan base and wound up hurting poor wittle wivaz (that was a tough one to spell the way I heard it, Lol) cwomo and his delicate fee fees. Therefore, he never tried to write a meaningful song with grownup lyrics ever again. But I do love Green, Maladroit (which I like, but the SS2K leftovers lost their balls. That album would’ve benefited from Ric Ocasek or maybe even Matt’s Seven More Minutes producer who also produced Pinkerton would’ve been so much better if songs like Slob and Burnt Jamb were as gritty and heavy as they were during the SS2K era) then Matt Sharp left and grew as a songwriter and a overall greater artist than Rivers could ever be after said feelings were hurt. Rivers broke the cardinal rule of being a tried and true, dedicated songwriter; He caved in and cared more what the stupid critics and a small portion of fans thought about Pinkerton and his heartfelt, masterpiece songs than he cares about the HUGE growth as a songwriter in theirs two years since Blue and Pinkerton. Rivers should have been so SOOOO proud of himself and how much he grew as a writer from Buddy Holly to Pink Triangle, Butterfly, The Good Life, Getchoo, El Scorcho, etc. etc. Let’s face it, Rivers’ decision cost him to lose sight of his damn integrity and he jeopardized his own talent all because he can’t handle criticism. He should have continued to hone his craft by working so damned hard as he had obviously been doing between the classic debut that was Blue and the astonishing maturity of Pinkerton. He could have been the next Brian Wilson with maybe a bit of a less dark Kurt Cobain thrown in there. But, the biggest shame, and for me, absolute tragedy in the Weezer story is, had Matt and Rivers put their egos aside, they could have been the 90s Lennon/McCartney. Not t saying as good, but just a 1990s and onward version of those two geniuses and main writers behind the Beatles. Just listen to My Head is in the Sun or Mrs. Young or Time Song. Matt and Rivers had something so eff’ing _special_ and not many people stop and think about it or realize it. Those 2 guys could have had several more absolute CLASSICS as a songwriting unit/partnership. Matt started growing as a writer and far surpassing Rivers within the blink of an eye upon leaving Weezer. So good for eff’ing him. Matt doesn’t give a sh!+ and that’s why his songs left Rivers in the damn dust very quickly after he left. They were so close to doing an album together in 2004-ish when Rivers blew us all away and joined Matt onstage during Matt’s acoustic tour. Oh, and to continue my fave Weez albums, after Maladroit, Make Believe was really good, just lacked solid choruses, EWBAITE was prettt good, and I F’ing LOVE the White album - although Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter should have been on the main album and not a bonus track. That to me, was the most Weez sounding Weez song since Green or possibly even earlier. It may be a little “too slick” for the 1st 2, but it has those trademark ballsy, crunchy guitars with those catchy AF OLD Weez vocal melodies that I fell in love with back in 1994. They had their own sound which which Pat’s drumming was a staple of and of course Matt’s love of beautiful moods and other synths as well as his falsetto and his and Brian’s overall backing vocals make me either wanna bust out those old albums or just sit and cry at the thought of how many more amazing albums they had left in them. Mikey brought his badass rock n roll / Jim Morrison rock star style attitude and heavy, Fu Manchu and Sabbath riffs to the band (and when I had the pleasure of meeting him and spending time with him when he turned up in The Kickovers, he personally told me that he wrote the breakdown part which leads into the chorus of Hash Pipe and he was beyond crushed he didn’t get credit to one of the biggest, most popular Weezer songs ever. I love Scott as well. He’s a super nice, sweetheart of a guy who, like me and Mikey, love “Stoner” rock and metal (I hate that term cause I don’t smoke, so I call it “Doom” metal mainly”). Scott brought that badass ‘tude with him as well. But, both bass players jointing long after the beginning of the band put them in a place where they have to watch what they say. Matt Sharp didn’t have to worry about that and he spoke up and let his thoughts be known much much more. And I know Pat, without a doubt, especially after writing so many songs with Rivers as well as Jason Cropper before they hooked up with Matt, took it personally when Rivers elbowed him to the side. Pat and Jason co-wrote Undone, Pat and Rivers wrote Surf Wax and another one or two. Matt was musical director and consultant on Pinkerton. Mikey influenced them to, at least for a little bit, to play heavier than ever before. Like I said, he personally told me he wrote the lead-in to the chorus of Hash Pipe as well as figured out a way to get from the chorus back to the main riff. MIKEY TOLD ME THIS. And with so much sadness and hurt in his voice. There is a reason why those early 3 of 4 albums were good. If only Rivers could have seen the MOUNTAIN of potential he and Matt had as a team, they would have never released garbage like the Red album, and those God awful two in a row stinkers that were Pacific Daydream and Black album. Ah, yes, and OK Human, if it had guitar, could have possibly been the best album they ever made since Green or in and around there. Still an album I’d buy for sure. Can Weezer: Embarrassment and a horrible, AWFUL “tribute” to the late, and without a doubt, one of the greatest musical geniuses since the dawn of rock n roll; Eddie Van Halen. Can Weezer, I’m sorry, but what an embarrassing, POS, mashups that was unbelievably written by the same friggin’ dude who wrote (with the others guys’ input; especially Matt and Pat) Blue, Pinkerton, and with Mikey Welsh’s (uncredited) help, Green. I wish Pat and Scott would just walk the F out on Rivers and quit going along with his HORRIBLE, F’ing pop nonsense. Then they may have a chance of waking Mr. Cuomo up by telling him, “We are sick and friggin tired of playing these HORRENDOUSLY, STUPID, F’KING HORRIBLE L, pop embarrassments, when we know damned well you could do so much better than this and with our goddamn help. We’ll come back to Weezer when you cut the sh!+ and start listening to us 3 and taking OUR damned advice instead of these outside writers (which is a direct slap 👋 j the face of Pat in particular!!!) and taking THEIR ADVICE on which songs are worthy of a Weezer album. That is up to US, the f’ing BAND, not some hired schmuck or 5. It’s OUR band too!!! We’ll tell you which songs are complete and utter SHITE and we will pitch in our ideas. Either we are allowed to pitch in like the old days with Matt or we, just like him, are G-O-N-E.” I am sorry, but when I see a once great rock band that I love, slide so far down the crapper, I get very upset, emotional and downright angry over it.

this sounds like a signal that weezer was going to make pinkerton back when there was only blue
For 45 seconds it’s like the greatest cover of all time. I wish they finished it
I hadn't listened to this track in 20 years

It’s not, it’s going to be from the third rehearsal they ever rehearsed as a band. On the official Weezer youtube they released Undone from the same rehearsal as a teaser. (by the way, i just find it so awesome that their third rehearsal EVER, recorded 3 days after they formed, was recorded and is being released!

summer songs 2000 is great :)
Sounds like one part in Tell me what you want
So relatable, I love you Rivers Cuomo
I sing this to my dog when he bites me and i have to put him on house arrest

This definitely isn’t better than everything else on ewbaite
@@notanotherjamesmurphy5574 way better than British are/ Clio/ Lonely girl For me.
I didnt know this version of the song was so different from the version with the intro (personally i like the ver. with intro more)
