Man, seeing Brad smile so much at one of my favorite songs EVER was such a cool feeling. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it, and there's so much more awesome Weezer stuff to dive into, but this was a perfect choice to start with.
For real!!! I was loving that smile on his face!!
Hard to not smile when weezer is playing! Feel good music
Perfectly said Ninja Tony! Love seeing Brad light up like he did with this song. Weezer is one of my absolute favorites. Buddy Holly is a great way to follow up Say It Aint So!
Yeah when Brad cracks a smile you know it was a hit
Yup...that's how they get you! We all tune in to get Lex's unique take on things,but when a song we like gets Brad to smile or give a standing O to, well then you're subscribed!! 😁😅🤣😂🤪😃
Now I understand you, Brad. It’s not that you can’t catch a groove. You just need to hear a song more than once. That’s completely understandable because that happens to all of us at least some of the time.
He definitely likes the more chill stuff too!
For sure
And STOP PAUSING
That's how I felt about every Radiohead album, ever.
@@Rockford03 Brad and Lex know what they're doing. They can't stop pausing it would get blocked by RUclips and it's a reaction video they give their thoughts on the song as it progresses, if they waited until the end then they would lose train of thought trying to remember what they want to say at the end.
This entire album was a banger. Anything y'all wanna listen to from Weezer's blue album, I'm here for it.
Definitely Weezer's best album. I remember jamming to it when moving to west Texas for the first time.
@@stevenwilliams1805 definitely a good album, but I wouldn't say it's hugely better then Pinkerton. Both were always on high rotatation
It’s definitely one of the special albums of the 90s.
Let's push for a react to the world has turned!! I like these guys channel a lot. They'd get more props for being the 1st to do it. Skol weeezzaarghhh
@@Bobsyagod my money's on Pinkerton but blue is a close second.
The Sweater Song. One of their best
...pipe down ,Ayh!...Hash pipe is a good one too
Agreed!
@@raymo6795 Yep. They're gonna love that one too.
Hellz Yeah
110% :)
the best track Weezer ever did IMO
No contest imo
Buddy Holly. Personal young memories preference.
This and across the sea
Ive always loved In The Garage
I like Island in the sun better
This was one of the song my mother would request our band to play every band practice. As long as we played it she wouldn't care what ever else we play. Love you mom.
That’s an awesome story. Cool mom.
She was our number one fan. PVNS
Sorry for the confusion . Thumbs up
Wholesome
💪
A song I can tell Brad loves that is awesome!
After loosing my father and brother to alcohol abuse (liver failure and suicide respectively) this song is always a mix of emotions for me (as all art should be.) I still groove on the riff and love the power in the vocals (you can tell the artist has some experience with alcohol) but the memories still cut.
The “dear daddy” part is something else for sure
I’m sorry for your Dad and Brother.
Hope you're staying strong brotha, RIP to your Bro and Pops
If Nirvana and Beach Boys had a baby they would call it Weezer
Nirvana, Beach Boys and Queen....
Good one, perfect!
Perfect, and I'm stealing that so my friends think I'm cool. Ha ha
Perfect
and that's what you call early emo to a point.
Yeah, glad Brad liked it, I've always liked it.
@John Quinn not well known these days, always thought was a cool song. Little different than the other stuff from same era. Sheik is another good one I think
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 all of the first 4 albums rock. Sheik is one of my favs.
@@dylandenney3980 we played it out sometimes, seems we could get it down good sound in really small bars, bigger? Sounds kinda sparse, empty. We pick up tempo a bit too
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 yea it's not really the kinda song I could see working well in front of a big crowd.
One of the best timed solo's in all of rock history. Hits so good. Short and sweet. THAT is how a solo is supposed to work.
Brad is right! His voice is so kind and strong at the same time. No one can say that Weezer wrote bad songs.
Rivers voice is seriously underrated. When I first heard all the covers on the Teal Album I was blown away with how well he really could sing.
Undone ( Sweater Song ) Buddy Holly, by Weezer. They rock 🤘🎸🤘
This is a song that I felt was written directly for me. You ever have a song like that? My father was absent from my life in my adolescence. He finally started writing me when I was nine and we exchanged letters for a year. In the summer of 88, when I was ten, my Aunt arranged for us to speak on the phone (my mother was adamantly against it). We talked for about an hour, he told me to listen to my mother, we talked about sports, rock n roll, and all that good stuff. We also talked about maybe being able to meet each other as long as my mother was okay with it. One month later my step father was the one to tell me he had passed away from an apparent suicide. The only time I ever saw my father face to face was at his wake. This song hits me so hard in the feels. I love this song.
Nice to see Brad's clearly loving this one and Lex coming alive when the bass kicks in!
Love this song!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
As sad as this song is, it's hard not to just smile when listening to it. It's strange in that way, kinda like "Pumped up Kicks"
This entire album is a Banger!! They are a fantastic live act too, Weezer shows kick serious ass and leave you with a smile on your face
There is a live version of this you can find on youtube, where they absolutely crush it on Letterman 1995, Rivers completely goes off with the vocals
💯

They're a pretty good band. My daughter loves them. I dig how it's chill and then it smacks; reminds me of Nirvana in that sense
I would say pretty good is an understatement. Weeper is amazing.
@@jons3808 It's a matter of taste. I like them, just not one of my favorites
@@jons3808 *weeper*
@@benshafer5198 There are some really good songs on The Blue Album besides the popular ones like this, Undone, and Buddy Holly
I was in 8th grade when this album came out, and, it is one of the ONLY records I have kept in constant rotation for all 27 of those years. It's a BRILLIANT power pop album.
Same
Yo if you got an early press of Blue Album LP in anything close to VG- condition that puppy is worth $
I remember when buddy Holly came out when I was a kid and it was the first time I heard anything like it. It was my introduction to Weezer.
Buddy Holly was one of my favourite rockers. I loved the song, from the first time.
My favorite Weezer song! Glad you guys liked it.
Love this song.! You could tell he loves this song he was smiling the whole time.!
*_Weezers_* debut *_The blue album_* from 1994 is an influential classic! People struggle to define the genre of their sound, it's been called: alternative rock, power pop, pop rock, pop punk, emo, indie rock, emo pop, geek rock, melodic metal, and pop.
You forgot garage band pop rock. :)
Alternative power pop punk
Labels are for clothes, it's just banging music
Just call it Weezer rock
The song is about alcoholism. More specifically, the lead singer (Rivers Cuomo) wrote it about his father and stepfather. His father was an alcoholic, and his parents divorced because of it. One day after coming home from high school, Rivers found a beer bottle in the fridge, and panicked because he was afraid the same thing was going to happen with his stepfather. So the song is about that, but also about how having an alcoholic in the family makes you afraid that everyone else, including yourself, might become one, too.
Yooo, this song is about an alcoholic son of of dad who's also an alcoholic!
The guy singing it is in recovery but he keeps fixating on people around his fridge, someone opening a cold beer, then he turns on the tv and he can hear a champagne bubbling up ready to explode. Then in the chorus he's like "I can't believe it, say it ain't so, this booze will break hearts and my love for it will take my life". Then he says he could never confront this disease, so he better stay cool in that situation. Then he says that if he gets even one drink he'll lose everything. So be cool. (I think he's at a party or something?). He then addresses his dad that got clean and found Jesus and all this booze awakens something in him that came from his dad and also his alcoholic stepdad.
I've always interpreted a little bit differently - always from the kid's view. Like "wrestle with Jimmy" just sounds like something kids would do. But like his whole live as he's growing up he's always hiding from his dad's alcoholism ("guess I'll just close my eyes") and always worried the "bottle is ready to blow." And as he's growing up, the dad's increasing reliance on alcohol just increases the distance between them. ("This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day...")
Either way, heavy song. It sounds so fun the way Weezer does it but the lyrics tell a different story.
@@agooglyminotaur169 I think the wrestle with Jimmy line is referring to Jim Beam. He name dropped Heineken in the first verse so I always assumed he was doing the same in the second.
Not far off, but Rivers is saying:
The heine in the fridge- he opens the fridge and see's a beer. It's giving him chills bc his dad was an alcoholic and his new step dad...is drinking beer too. So he's freaking out that this new dad will be one too. So he closes his eyes to distract.
Flip on the tele, wrestle with jimmy- he's watching tv, playing around with his brother and his dad is watching them, while drinking, and Rivers feels like his dad is going to get drunk.
SAY IT AINT SO- he's like, please dont say this new dad is like my last dad.
Your drug is a heartbreaker, my love is a lifetaker- alcohol his dad drinks is hurting Rivers and Rivers feels that it's his fault both dads drink, now.
This way is a water slide away from me
That takes you further every day- Rivers is trying to tell his dad that drinking is a slippery slope that pushes then away from eachother.
Dear daddy, i write to....- he writes to his real dad who sobered up and found god.
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings, like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood- Rivers' stepdad, Steven, who drinks, reminds Rivers of when his real dad would drink, which Rivers is scared of because it reminds him of how bad his real father used to get. He's telling his dad, both your old drinking habit AND Steven's drinking is causing Rivers to drown in the flood of excessive alcohol.
All-in-all, this song is about Rivers trying to cope with both his father's drinking alcohol and it bringing bad memories back for him and he blames himself for both father's having to drink.
@@whodafeak I thought it was a reference to a condom at first since quite a bit of this song sounds pretty sexual, lol. Half of this song sounds like it's subtly talking about sex.
Cheers!
Brad found his jam! Weezer's Blue album is a banger.
Glad to see Brad enjoy a song! Good stuff!
It's about his dad drinking and leaving his mom and then later finding a beer in his step dad's fridge and thinking he was leaving them as well🥺
P.s. his stepdad kind of helped him to be a musician and would play with him when he was younger. He said that he never felt like he deserved to be on stage and that his step dad helped him find his confidence 💪
Definitely needs to react to Undone - The Sweater Song next. Classic Weezer! Then listen to the whole blue album front to back.
Brad your smile during this song made me smile. Weezer is in my top five bands ever. So psyched you guys did them. More Weezer.
The overall rhythm matches the tone of the lyrics too.
Everything is chill and lazy and cool, until suddenly it isn't. Then things calm down again, but they aren't really chill anymore.
This song was in the first Rock Band, and I can't hear it without being pulled back to that time in my young teen life when it came out. Good memories.
A beautiful Classic!!!
My Dad was born in 1950 and died in 1998. One of my best memories was him walking into my room and hearing Weezer's "Undone" The Sweater Song. That dude bought the Album! The only album in my life that I remember my dad buying.
These are a few of the songs I recommend that you two check out next
1. Buddy Holly
2. Island in the Sun
3. Undone (The Sweater Song)
4. Beverly Hills
And my name is jonas
All great pics
Across the sea is their best
Personally I like hash pipe
Te greatest man that ever lived?
Great track, and glad you like this one Brad. Weezer often get overlooked on reaction videos.
Never seen Brad enjoy a song so much! Love Weezer ❤
I recommend their song "Hash Pipe".
yea...think they'd love that one..it's awesome
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo!
Oh yes, absolutely!
"It's definitely a tall, dark and mysterious..." Yeah, I agree Lex.
Really nice reaction! Thanks! 😊
BTW. Weezer is fun to play on electrical guitars. We used to play their songs a lot on on instruments at our buddies garage growing up back in the days lol
One of my favourite songs! Been following you 2 for a while now, love the content! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Love Weezer!! Try "Undone (The Sweater Song)", “Buddy Holly” and "Pork and Beans”. …this song screams Brad, by the way.
All good choices and can I add to those, Island in the Sun (its my personal favorite).
Can't forget Hash Pipe!!! as the person mentioned above Island in the Sun is also a great choice
I saw them in concert a few years ago and EVERYBODY was singing along.
Weezer know how to grab you and take you along.
Saw them for the first time, alongside Pixies (2nd time for them). Great band, but 7 of the songs they did were covers. So many of their good songs would have been more welcome.
You guys gotta do more Weezer! I love this band. Try Hash Pipe, Perfect Situation and Buddy Holly
The entire album is a classic.
It’s great to see Brad gush over a song ☺️ sing it bro, sing it 🙌🏽
This is plain and simple an amazing rock song.
Man these guys were legends! Big during the '90s and '00s. College alternative rock.
Yeah yeah - Weezer is one of the all time best, and they are still making great stuff! My teenagers all love them -one of their favorites bands of all time!!
I truly LOVE weezer, unique band for everyone! I did so much coke at one of their gigs that i ended up on stage dancing and River just went with it...memories!! 🤟
One of the few songs I have never gotten sick of. Been lucky enough to see it live 3 times.
Absolutely love you guy's reactions on your faces! Kinda hurts my heart that you grew up missing SO much cool older music! Happy to see you guys grooving on this!
Glad you’re checking out Weezer. They have a pretty deep catalog, so you’re in for a nice musical journey with them.
SNL did a skit with Matt Damon in which Leslie Jones takes my side of this little discussion....... ruclips.net/video/ab5WvwfLuLM/видео.html
i would recommend listening to the sweater song by weezer, it was one of their more popular ones and it really brings out their song and vibe in that song
This song is so deep when you actually listen to it. “Like father, step father. The son is drowning in the flood!!!” Alcoholism is crazy
I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That drum fill before the last chorus is my favorite of all time. I play it every time I sit behind a kit.
They end their shows with this song usually, and it is crazy how the crowd gets into it and singing throughout the song. It’s great!
Hell fucking yeah Brad! This reaction made my day a little brighter ;)
Love Weezer. Saw them live, they are very entertaining.
Rock Music! This whole album is all killer, no filler.
It’s amazing.. beginning to end
The bridge part about the father has always hit a little too close to home for me.😄
Same
in the nineties, the depressed singer of weezer received a letter from japan. In the letter, a Japanese student wrote to him how depressing student life was and that she had feelings for him ... the singer of weezer then dedicated the song "across the sea" to her... I loved the song as a teenager. weezer have nourished my melancholia XD funfact: the singer is married to a Japanese woman ...
I am so grateful to "guitar hero" for bringing that amazing song to Brad ,never seen him in such a happy groove loved it!!!!!
“Rock Band” 😝😝😝
Alright I'm gonna say it, I actually get more enjoyment out of seeing Brad smile from a song because it rarely happens, he's a much harder bottle to crack!
Brad my man, if you enjoyed this then you'll really like "Island in the Sun" by these guys, just as chill.
"YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE" by NEW RADICALS is a most reaction someday! The whole vibe of this song is so uplifting and happy 😊😊
Yo I LOVE lex but I could hang with Brad all day and chill and talk deep shit. Hes chill as shit. Kudos man.
By far my favorite band. They were the first ones that were cool to be uncool, and they've been around forever. El Scorcho, the Sweater Song, Pink Triangle, Buddy Holly, so many songs
CD players in cars were kinda new when this came out. I had a new Sony in my '62 Chevy and this CD didn't come out for six months. Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤🔥🙌🏼 ℁
Weezer came out when i was in middle school and this has been my all time favorite song of theirs🔥
One of the best songs ever written
The singer from deftones, chino, once cited the singer from weezer, rivers cuomo, as his favorite singer. And there was a live recording of deftones covering this song in concert, in circulation. He did a scream or 2 in it. And they also covered a song from weezers next album pinkerton, el scorcho, in concert. Other great weezer songs are undone the sweater song, in the garage, my name is jonas, buddy holly, only in dreams, el scorcho, pink triangle, no other one, why bother?, across the sea, the good life, falling for you, getchoo and butterfly (almost every song on their 1st 2 albums are great). Since then a few that are good and a lot that are rather similar sounding and unspectacular. But the quality of their first 2 albums can hold up to pretty much any other band. You also might enjoy some later songs like hash pipe, island in the sun, Beverly hills, or pork and beans. I'm certainly forgetting and leaving something out
I saw Deftones cover the Sweater Song in Glasgow in the early 2000's. Pretty much the whole crowd joined in on the chorus. It was cool moment.
This whole album, Brad. One of a handful of perfect nineties rock greats.
I'm a musician and kind of a music snob, but Weezer and Queens Of The Stone Age are like guilty pleasures. Two completely different bands but love them both I dont know if you've ever reacted to QOTSA but all of their songs are great. One of my favorites is "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret".
Why guilty pleasures. I listen to everything.
Nothing about QOTSA should be considered a guilty pleasure. They’re all very talented and the songwriting has become more complex over the years but they’ve never lost their desert rock sound.
I really relate to this song cause I see my father and stepfather drowning in alcohol and it has really influenced me when I got older. him growing up as a kid with alcoholic father figures really show how alcohol is a real problem in some home lives. it ruined my parent's marriages and has affected my mom, sister, and me.
This is one of the albums with (still to this day) countless listens in my playlists. One of my all time favorites.
My man! I’m like waiting over here like through so many of y’all’s vids for something to hit home with you! Of all bands- WEEZER!!!!
This song is near and dear to me for personal reasons and I’m really glad you dig it… finally saw one that struck a cord in you! Powerful stuff.
Love this song i love Weezer and his nerdy style 🤘🏽
♥ this song!
Yeah!! A song Brad liked! Woooo
Brad, first time I watched a video of yours where you actually reacted! Usually you are very stoic. Glad to see you finally show some emotion!
El Scorcho by Weezer should definitely be on the to-do list.
I agree! Yes please!!
Brad loves Weezer, right on !
The California chill/rock vibe! Beverly Hills, Back to the Shack, LA Girlz and Island in the Sun are some other cool ones to add to the list!
This song. This album. I first heard it as a teen and it was an instant favourite.
Love playing this song on guitar. Great song
Brad, good to see you smile! Love y’all’s channel
They finally did it! This is one of my favorite CDs ever. The entire Blue Album is a banger and this might be the best song on it. Love it. Glad you enjoyed!
"Buddy Holly" and "Only in Dreams" are my top picks other than this one. "Only in Dreams" is a long one but the outro is one of the best.
Really great seeing Brad smiling from the getgo. And Weezer! Who'd a thunk it. Cool taste dude. I think you got a little punk love in ya
Love that you guys finally checked out Weezer ... try "Beverly Hills" for a different/and def fun vibe by them next!!
When I was 14 this was easily my favorite song. One of those time machine songs for me.
Weezer is such a cool band. I dig this! I like ‘the sweater song’. This was fun 🤩
My favorite Weezer track!
The Blue Album! Weezer! Alternative rock. 🎸
They were huge in the '90s and ' '00s. Still are. Like Foo Fighters. Yall need to listen to the band Everclear. Similar to them.
Listen to “Only in Dreams” and “My Name is Jonas”… hell, really any song off the blue album
Omg My Name is Jonas is my absolute faaaaave
Yes! Only in dreams
Brad, thanks for sharing one of your favorite songs with the Couch Gang! We get so used to seeing Lex have the emotional reactions and "feeling" the music--it's great to see one that gets you all smiles.
THERE you go. FINALLY you've arrived at the one of the if not THE most unforgettable rock song of the 90s. This song is a legend. The first two albums of Weezer are the "purest"ones. Those are when they still had Matt Sharp on bass. He is the reason why Weezer was the best version of themselves.
Yay! I love seeing Brad happy to listen to a song I like! Lex, of course, is always amazing! ... Great song, band!
As soon as the solo started Brad couldn`t resist anymore... 😁 I was 14 when this came out. I love the "Blue Album" and every song on it, it`s a part of my teenage years and brings up great and unforgettable memories. 🙂 Thank you for doing this, i love you guys. ♥ Cheers from Croatia
