Bro, you're actually insane. I love your work so much. I'm tryna get my shit together to get me and my mates to learn and play your pinkerton version of island in the sun
Nice work! I think "Perfect Situation" would be another great one from this album to do in the Pinkerton style. Maybe the demo "Tell Me What You Did" as well
I absolutely LOVE this. If I heard this exact version on a Weezer album in the 00's I would have cried. It has that same operatic, almost melodramatic sadness, reaching soaring melancholic heights, but backed with simple, sincere lyrics delivered with raw emotion. That guitar solo perfectly captures late 90's Weezer with the crisp, well-tuned polish of Green / Make Believe.
I love the "Make Believe" and the fact that so many people discount it as a good Weezer album tells me a lot about the fanbase. "Haunt You Everyday" did seem like a Pinkerton song when I first heard it. Weezer needs to hear this and hire you as a consulting producer or some sort of collaborator. Thank you again!
That's so nice to hear! I have been using this channel to procrastinate on writing original music. I'll have more time this summer to come up with some new Gnarly Horse tracks 🤙
i've always loved this song, but this little bit of extra grit genuinely might make this one of my favorite weezer songs post blue like ever - incredible work dude my god 😭
I loved both the demo's and the final version's intros and this has both of them and I love it! It's so good that it low key makes up for the usage of what it seems to be AI art for the cover 👀 (Please correct me if its not AI art)
Thanks! Yeah i gotta put up an image of something, so it's either a stock image of Weezer or AI art. I'd rather do the AI art then use someone else's preexisting images.
@@AlmostWeezer you could even just quickly slap something together with a photo editing software, I just think the Ai usage kinda sucks (AWESOME cover though)
@@AlmostWeezer A great way to find good images for these Weezer covers is to search for ancient historical art, specifically European and Japanese art really works for Weezer and helps avoid use of AI
Fantastic! Also I've had Haunt Me and all of Dumb Luck on repeat the past month. If anyone here likes these weezer covers, go check out the band who's doing them (Gnarly Horse)!
absolutely brilliant, you haven't missed with a single one of these covers. if i were to make a request i would love to hear on "When We Were Young" from around the ewbaite era. there's no official recordings or demos available but there is a cover from a band who got the chance to hear it at one of the ewbaite listening parties, Social Exclusion. i think that would be incredible in this style! and if i may ask what kind of equipment/plugins do you use to get your drum tone? it has that perfect rehearsal room sound that pinkerton nailed down.
Thank you!! That one is pretty cool. Id have to sing it myself and use AI, but the vocal range would be a stretch for me. Rivers has an incredible range. I use EZ Drummer 3. I got some good advice from one of my previous videos about the drum sound. The trick is to heavily compress the room mics to get that harsh sound. No reverb. I also flam out a lot of the snare hits, and put things slightly out of time. You don't want the kick, snare and hats perfectly in time with each other.
One of my favourite album closers! The original already sounded pretty "Pinkerton", I just wanted to try to give it a little more dirt.
Cant wait to hear it man, your work is amazing!
Bro, you're actually insane. I love your work so much. I'm tryna get my shit together to get me and my mates to learn and play your pinkerton version of island in the sun
Also the demo version of this was my favourite weezer track. So seeing this pop up on my feed just made my day. 🫶
That would be great! Send me a video if you ever make it happen 🤟
the oroginal did not sound anything like pinkerton whatsoever
vro i keep coming back to this sick
Nice work! I think "Perfect Situation" would be another great one from this album to do in the Pinkerton style. Maybe the demo "Tell Me What You Did" as well
A ton of people seem to want Perfect Situation, which I was not expecting. I'll get around to it eventually 🎸
This guy just churns out bangers

Worded so elegantly! I should get you to write my video descriptions 😁
out of all Make Believe I think this song is the closest to Pinkerton in terms of vibes. great cover man, keep it up

This is amazing!
Your guy's original stuff is great! Don't burn yourself out with covers, you have some real songwriting talent!
That's so nice to hear! I have been using this channel to procrastinate on writing original music. I'll have more time this summer to come up with some new Gnarly Horse tracks 🤙
We need to give this guy something in return for these at this point. He just never misses 🔥🔥🔥
Make believe if it was good
that solo before the last chorus comes in is so fucking perfect man youre doing gods work
this song always hits hard.
the chorus is so punchy when he yells "Haunt".
you managed to make one of the best weezer songs even better
dude this is pretty incredible
I like demo's vocals more but dang this is fire
Agreed the demo’s vocals especially at the end where the walking on my own is layered behind the so alone in love part.
i've always loved this song, but this little bit of extra grit genuinely might make this one of my favorite weezer songs post blue like ever - incredible work dude my god 😭
wow this is great
Instant subscribe! Can't wait to hear more from you.
This is amazing, if you have just instrumental i'd love to hear that also. I absolutely love the guitar work on this
This is so peak 🙏 Put this on Bandcamp or Spotify please
that chorus never make so much pain in my heart. Thanks man.
Solo was super creative, good take on the song :D
i love these
I just love this so much, you're a genius
Awesome as usual!! I'd love to hear sheila can do it someday, it would be nice to see it arranged like the other pinkerton era songs :)
I love the backing vocals!!!
one of my favorite songs, cant wait!

@@JayJrP this
yea so im gonna need u to do a breakdown on how u get this typa sound cus this is perfect
Guitars are all done with BIAS FX 2. I quadruple track the rhythms in the chorus. Drums are EZ Drummer 3.
@@AlmostWeezergod bless… what do u use for the synths?
@jarby_music Logic Pro plugin Alchemy. Start with 70s Analog Synth preset
@@AlmostWeezer may your crops be bountiful this season 🙏🙏
@@AlmostWeezer thank you so much! this is extremely helpful. :3
bro I've been waiting for this for ages.
Wow, this is just wow
This is absolutely insane dude!!!
happy new year, gnarly horse!
🥳
Absolutely incredible!
YESSSSS!!!!!
incredible
How do you keep making bangers my dude?
Fr bro these go an illegal amount of hard
You should produce Weezer's next album
Please do 1000 years and the Homie demos in the style of the blue album
This is seriously amazing
Really shows how much Rivers sounds like Kurt Cobain in this song
the beginning kinda sounds like heart shaped box for a second lol
FIRE
these covers are amazing! :)
what program do you use? and what plugins?
never mind-just found a comment where you mentioned exactly that.
Fantastic! Also I've had Haunt Me and all of Dumb Luck on repeat the past month. If anyone here likes these weezer covers, go check out the band who's doing them (Gnarly Horse)!
Thanks for checking out the originals!
@AlmostWeezer they got me through finals month, fantastic songs, looking forward to whatever you put out next :)

Could you give "Outta Here" a shot sometime? I think your pinkerton take on that song would sound great.
this is crazy
I really don't think haunt you every day would work as a song in pinkerton, this sounds good though
❤❤❤ Nice ❤❤❤
Very good work!
...
Trampoline?
Y'all should also rerecord superman
this sounds amazing. you should do something on ok human next
It's on the to do list!
🔥🔥🔥
How do you keep doing it?!
You should make weezer versions of other artists. I would love to see something from Igor be remade in that classic Pinkerton style!
you should rerecord ss2k tracks
It's been a while since I've heard those ones! Anything in particular?
@AlmostWeezer My Brain and the sister song/Your Sister
i hate the ai cover, good cover tho
