Stages of becoming a weezer fan
Stage 1: biggest Weezer hater
Stage 2: admitting that the blue album is good
Stage 3: weezer fan
Honestly I’ve been a fan of the majority of there albums when I first heard them
Too accurate
Give it a couple years and our brains will be so mush we will like raditude
Me who liked the album covers at first sight : Guess I'll never be a Weezer fan.
Step 4: Check out Pinkerton
Step 5: "Goddammit."
Now Aztrocist is dissing me???? Bro I thought you were better than that 😭😭😭 why does no one appreciate my awesome cover art? Also standing in front of colors is cool, cooler than Raditude haters will ever be. -Sidney, the Dog from Raditude
Hi dog from Raditude how have you been
hello mister raditude are you doing okay
I forgot I was subbed to you, you’re cool
@@tf2_engineer_real I’m doing good. I’m tired from last night’s party, but I’m still up and ready to do some mixing on Raditude 2: Still Partying. The Head from SZNZ really wants to adopt my nephew to help him cope with his seasonal depression. The Octopus from OK Human is directing xes own French noir flick for the holidays, starring me as the incredible lead role of Panicked Guard #2! And soon I’m gonna drop off my Christmas present on The Guy from Maladroit’s lawn, and it’ll be extra big and extra stinky this year. I’m also almost ready for my big Christmas party, the ultimate party of the century. That Lil’ Wayne mosh pit I had built in my backyard was expensive, so people better enjoy it!
@@thedogfromraditude5449 sounds awesome dog from Raditude, hope u have a happy holiday season
As a massive metalhead, I can confirm we have both the absolute best album covers out of all the music genres, but also the complete worst. (A lot of actual photos of dead bodies)
From mirror reaper to pissgrave 👍
British steel album cover is so ahead of its time
I love the master of puppets album cover
AFJA album cover is so good
@@JUSTICE971 but consider load and reload. Not bad albums, but blood and semen?
fun fact. iron maidens dance of deaths album cover was incomplete and was rushed to be made on the deadline. it was so bad the artist didnt even want credit for it
I heard it was just a rough sketch of what the design was supposed to be.
@@thedogfromraditude5449 i believe that the alternate artwork is the same as the one used except without all the bas cgi characters. It has been used and is pretty easy to find online
Looks like an iMVU chat room with all the awkward 3d furry avatars grinding on each other but... somehow worse.
Thank you for the explanation, I thought nobody in the studio had a problem with it and after all of their awesome covers they ended with this 😂 Even though the cover art is horrible, the album is great 😁
Lmao
I remember the time when rap album covers used to be just a lot of convoluted mess
you mean pen & pixel style covers? people still make those
those were awesome
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle
Chopper City in the Ghetto is actual eye cancer
BIG BEAR - DOIN' THANGS
The red Weezer cover literally looks like a THIS IS… Spotify playlist cover without the caption
RIGHT
I think the way Rivers looks in it is the funniest shit ever
God, the Beatles' infamous Butcher Cover for Yesterday And Today.
Fun fact, audiences back in the day found that delightful family photo of the Beatles having just slaughtered a dozen infants horrifying, for some reason. The publisher hastily pasted a new cover over their already printed stock featuring Paul sitting in a suitcase which the other guys are sitting on/around. If you can find an original printing of the album with the butcher cover underneath the suitcase cover, it's worth a *lot* of money.
The dolls are supposed to be slaughtered Vietnamese children, The Fabs' cheerful facial expressions and indictment of American indifference/cruelty. Clearly, it had to be destroyed.
I've got a real butcher cover
The producers apparently wanted the one with Paul in the suitcase to be the main cover at first. But the band apparently thought it looked too boring. So they took one of the photos they got from some experimental photographer the band had a photo shoot with and used that.
" for some reason "? Those were different innocent times back then
The but her cover was actually a part of a surreal triptych of images.
Don't forget Mayhem's "Dawn of the Black Heart," which is LITERALLY A PHOTO OF THE CORPSE OF A MEMBER OF THE BAND
can't believe he left this out
Technically, that's a bootleg, not an official album. Fucked up story behind it, though.
@@oakgreenoak What was it even? I looked it up, seems like a suicide.
@@scarecrww yeah, the singer (who, fittingly enough went by the stage name Dead) did a Kurt Cobain and when one of the other members found him, they took a picture of it and used it on a self-released bootleg of some of their live recordings.
Then a few years later one of the surviving members of the band kiIIed another member of the band and went to prison. But they're Norwegian so he served 15 years and kept making music while in prison, releasing it under the name Burzum.
There's a biopic about the band called "Lords of Chaos"
@@LonkinPork Thanks, what a fucked up band.
David Bowie's Reality has 'graphic design is my passion' energy
and The Next Day but it kind of slaps
it has elementary schooler attempt at drawing anime energy because wtf is that
9:00 Its funny he says that because indie rock album covers quite literally are low-res pictures of random things
I can't really say you're wrong when my favorite indie rock album is Summer in Abaddon by Pinback and it is literally just a photo of a storm drain (granted, with a person's shadow looming over it, but still)
Indie rock sucks
@@yourcommentisntfunnyv2709 i don't see how that is relevant to the conversation or why you felt the need to say that. care to explain yourself?
@@jonavanderpal it’s relevant
@@yourcommentisntfunnyv2709 "its relevant" *deletes the comment*
I always tease my partner for unironically liking Weezer, and I literally just showed this to him and pointed at the can of orange crush on his side of the table 😂
I am not a music person, but weezer is a name I recognize and remember liking a lot as a kid. I was drinking a can of orange crush at the moment that part came on. The call out was perfect, I can't even be mad.
Got his ass 😂
Dude, orange soda tastes good, weezer sounds good, I'm not afraid to say that I like weezer!
i mean weezer really isn’t the worst
i'm a Weezer fan and i do like orange soda (tho i am first and foremost a Mug root beer enjoyer)
7:10 "the second greatest tragedy of 2001"
I turned on timed comments js to make sure someone said this underated quote
@@gdchewiesame
Weezer's debut album cover is actually an homage to the 1980 album "Crazy Rhythms" by The Feelies which was an early alternative rock album that had widespread influence during the 80s and 90s
Edit: This has been corrected, the actual inspiration was a 1981 Beach Boys compilation album cover.
i thought rivers said it was an references to a photo of the beach boys?
Rivers has said multiple times that the blue album cover was not inspired the feelies
@@PROD.NIGHTCRAWLER777 my dreams say otherwise
@@thesquirtof8759 how are you always here bro😳
@@PROD.NIGHTCRAWLER777 I don't even know who you are
8:14 This one pisses me off because it originally had a much simpler cover that was a CD in white packaging. I know people hated that it was installed on their iphones by default, understandably-but because it was I listened to it and liked it, and I liked that original cover much more. And having this weird cover certainly didn’t helping people’s annoyance with it being installed automatically… it sucks because I think the album is actually pretty good, but because of the Apple situation people hate it even if they haven’t listened to it :/
Same
"Creed's 'Weathered', the second greatest tragedy of 2001."
MY GUY HAS NO REMORSE WHEN HE SAID THAT HOLY SHIT
LOL
I think that Weezer's Blue Album has a perfect album cover. The album purposely encapsulates what it's about. It's an album for nerds, outcasts, young people, but really, just any average person. You look at that cover and see these four young guys, and it all just makes sense. These are your typical four young men, and they've made a masterpiece that transcends all of that.
Plus it’s actually rivers childhood walls color
its criminal that you didnt mention a single viper album
this video is about bad album covers
yeah cuz they're good
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" is good. Yes, my dad is almost 64, but he shared it with me when I was a kid. I'd recommend listening to Simon and Garfunkel.
Number 1: Lilac Boy
Number 2: Graduation
i remember i searched up "weird album covers" once and one of them was just a shotgun suicide photo.
no joke actual gore
Dawn of the black hearts by Mayhem? ( even though that's a bootleg and not an actual album)
I heard the guy in that picture was Dead when they took it.
@@jotunbjorn I mean, yeah, that was his name
I just saw it and holy shit 😣
i just saw it and holy fucking shit
The Dance of Death one has an interesting story behind it, they hired an artist to make the cover and he showed the band an unfinished version of it, but they liked that so much they used it on the album instead of waiting for the guy to finish
I think I am officially a Swamp Dogg fan, that shit genuinely slaps.
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
Don't worry, we don't take it personally. Weezer fans hate Weezer, too.
Swamp Dogg actually got his name before Snoop Dogg, so it’s entirely possible Snoop was ripping off Swamp dogg with no one knowing
As the self described world biggest Weezer defender, I’m offended
What did we ever do to these Weezer haters.
@@joshshrum2764 That made them so violent
That album weezer diss weezed my weez
Metal Skool, also known as Metal Shop, is also known as Steel Panther, which is an incredible band, if you haven't listened to them, I highly recommend them, my personal favourite song of theirs is 'Gangbang At The Old Folks Home'
Reading that is a fcking trip
you should also mention that they make ironic glam metal, mocking the genre, whilst making the best music of the genre
If Love Fist from GTA Vice City gained sentience
Dude they’re on America’s Got Talent right now that’s so funny
The Pinkerton cover is really interesting. And OK human’s cover art is good too. And the talking heads one was good on the verge of Ok.
The thing I really hate about the Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water album cover is that Limp Bizkit was at least capable of making a neat looking album cover. Like, Significant Other is actually decently cool looking, but after that they decided they just wanted to make everyone physically gag at their new album cover.
Fr
It's fitting considering everyone was already physically gagging from listening to their music
@@GANONdork123 true
8:04 Its funny you should point out Ye's cover. If I remember correctly, the album cover is a picture of mountains Kanye took on the car drive he was taking to get to the listening party. For the album.
Which he ended up being 3 hours late to because the album wasn't finished.
The U2 album had me dead 💀 I remember my friends dad asking me how to delete it off of his phone 😂
U2 was good but yeah what were they thinking
the Weezer Green album looks funny to me cause it gives me that vibe that they trying to parody Blur in terms of appearance. so automatically a smash for me.
Weezer's blue album cover is capable of giving us Peezer and that makes me like it.
60s albums either have the coolest covers or so insanely horrible it’s amazing
That U2 album still automatically plays sometimes on my iPad, and I will hear It coming out my earphones when I least expect it. It’s truly a curse.
There is more people who have made distortions of the weezer cover than people who had listened to the album.
I've always loved that bridge over troubled water's cover makes it look like art garfunkel has a massive motorhead style moustache but it's just Paul Simon's hair
Surprised donda wasnt on here. Also, Creeds "my own prison" and "human clay" may look weird at first, but they fit the album well if you give them a good listen. "Weathered" i have no excuse for.
the blue album is a work of art
“The second greatest tragedy of 2001” 💀💀💀
no way he disrespected chocolate starfish and hot dog flavoured water
Iron maiden dance of death lore, the producer hired a guy off of an Iron Maiden forum to make the 3D figures for the album which he did and then refused to be credited on the album, the OG artwork actually is pretty sick IMO
2:22 Swamp Dogg used to work with Johnny Paycheck, of course he rocks
To be fair, Weezer realty did capture the right idea with Weezer (The Blue Album)'s cover, that blue is universally recognizable as weezer
And it *does* work for their other 5 self-titled albums
The Frivolous Five’s Sour Cream and Other Delights was a parody album of Herb Alpert’s Ladyfingers and Other Delights. The original is a beautiful album.
You mean "Whipped Cream &OD"
Dance Of Death is the perfect example of "Don't judge a book by its cover." I mean hell any album that has Paschendale on it is worth a listen
Very unfortunate that Primus' "Tales From the Punchbowl" wasn't featured. great vid Aztro :)
Okay maybe I’m insane but I looked it up and it goes kinda hard tho 😭
Bro wym,the cover is fucking fire
I love it, wdym? LMAOO
If listening to weezer is wrong I never wanna be right 💯 💯
"the second greatest tragedy of 2001"
the first, of course, being the death of dale earnhardt
i honestly love the Ye album cover, but good lord he could have done so much more with things like jesus is king, donda, etc. Kids see Ghosts is a really good one though
Mayhem’s “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” has one of the best album covers. It just fits the vibe so well and it looks fucking evil
Great editing and I agree with a lot of the stuff you said but that Simon and Garfunkel one is an L take man.
One of many L's in this video for sure. Guy comes off like he doesn't listen to anything pre-1995.
I Agree 100% absolutely amazing album by Simon and Garfunkel and personally I really love the cover, his take was not it
Dream theater's early albums slapped so hard, but the album covers were so crappy, especially awake.
I can see your point with I Can't Stop Partying lyrics but the music itself still sounds good and Island in the Sun is so good all-round
awesome video! now make a best album covers video and make sure to only mention Unwound's 2001 Seminal Masterpiece "Leaves Turn Inside You", Released By Kill Rock Stars and Matador Europe.
Bold claim
Did you not realize "Frivolous Five" album cover is a spoof? It's a pretty good one too.
matt sharp on the blue album looks like hes in a lot of pain and distress
0:27 I feel exposed
i unironically love The Miracle’s album cover because of the creature. They literally had to put brian on the side because his hair was too floof
If you know the context of the album the image makes total sense
@@JonnyInfinite wasnt it the first or one of the first queen albums to have all the songs credited under queen and not by the individual writers?
Old Pantera is so cursed, especially when you consider what they became
i remember going through my parents CDs when i was like 7 and coming across that Limp Bizkit cover. even seven year old me realised they were terrible after listening for a few minutes lol
ey tropical fuckstorm mention, nice one
also was that lightning orchestra in that collage at the end? extremely based, amazing psychedelic jazz-funk stuff
May I introduce you to literally any album cover by No Limit Records
3:46 Gustavo and brick the rat
5:56 Steel Panther! It’s a meme, I recommend listening if you’re into making fun of the whole LA hair metal stereotypes xD
7:09 "the second biggest tragedy of 2001" 💀
7:52 the can’t stop partying demos are the best tho.
fr, it shows how changing the instruments used can change the meaning of a song without changing any of the lyrics
In all honestly weezer’s music is good but wtf were they thinking with the album cover
Edit: nevermind its awesome
The simon and garfunkle cover is meant to show who tops who.
As a weezer fan, I actually drink crush orange.
Nice video! Thank god this video and this channel appeared in my home feed!
Dude I love Can't Stop Partying by Weezer off the 2009 studio album Raditude feat. Lil Wayne. It's a bop. And you just hate the Red Album because Rivers' mustache is so sexy... ohhh yeahhh
1:15 nope that’s the REM fans
we’ve got our
-spine
and we’ve got our
-orange crush
Ye
I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER I LOVE WEEZER
vicuna- nuclear rabbit is a cursed album cover. i found it in a peddler’s mall and was so confused that i took a picture of it to listen to later. i actually found the album on youtube and listened to it and was glad i didn’t buy it, not my style lol
5:48 i laughed so hard for like 3 minutes at that weird, thing
I Don't Know what's worse, these album covers or that fact that Not a single Pen & Pixel album cover is in this entire video
Aztro i listened to Cant Stop Partying by Weezer because of you and went down a rabbit hole to find out wtf was even up with the song to have been made. theres a stripped down demo ver by rivers cuomo that i really hate to admit actually kinda makes sense to me
Can't Stop Partying demo version being better than the final version is one of the few things that most of the Weezer fanbase can actually agree on
Slayer's _"Season on the Abyss"_ would make an excellent choice for a part 2.
7:57 holy shit I went and listened to it and now I feel like I need to file a restraining order
Goddamn that was bad
6:35 the only thing interesting about this album cover is how much this guy looks like a depressed gabe newell
bro dance gavin dance album covers are crazy cool. my favorite is instant gratification
I will forever be glad that my favorite vocaloid producer Utsu-P consistently has good illustrations on the covers of his albums after looking at these
He's a metal producer
bridge over troubled waters was literally my favorite album in middle school lol
the fact that you went over pablo honey but not the bends is KILLING me
7:10 The second greatest tragedy of 2001
bro im dead
I was waiting for Dance of Death lol
Basically, the story goes that the dude who made it showed the band what he had so far and they just slapped it on the album and called it a day. It was so embarrassing that he asked not to be credited. The album was great though, uncomfortable to listen to in public, but still great
Yeah, same. I was basically just waiting to see it, as I was fully expecting it to be there.
Dude really shown the dubstep Korn album in the intro man
7:13 No way bro said “2nd tragedy of 2001” 💀
I was waiting for all the album covers from viper lol those are true comedy gold
bro's got such good taste in music please do more videos on music
We need a part 2 of this 💯
My favorite album cover: "Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum," It's practically Blue Album, but trippy
As a Weezer fan, orange crush is one of my favorite sodas
Kinda weird how Radiohead went from whatever Pablo honey is to beautiful covers like kid A and in rainbows
He really pulled out the can't stop partying card
No one even likes that song, not even weezer fans💀
@@Jacob_Hingst i like that song, but i'm also the type of person whose idea of a good time is watching Godzilla vs Megalon, so i think i just have a taste for the "bad and cheesy" type of shit
Some weird or awkward album covers that come to mind for me are Van Morrison’s His Band and the Street Choir (that one just looks awkward but man it’s a good album), John Cougar Mellencamp’s Uh-HUH! (Something about it makes me so uncomfortable and it just does not fit the vibe of his music), AC/DC’s Powerage (by far their best album and worst album cover, it’s a shame really) and most greatest hits covers save from a certain few
Don’t ask me about best album covers though cause we’d be here for an awfully long time
Literally anything can be an album cover, prove me wrong.
I feel hurt personally because of that crush insult how dare u associate us with weezer
My joy with you mentioning shellac is immeasurable
