My favorite part of Weezer is the fact that they all look like that uncle we have who is kind of lame but kicks ass at music and happens to be in Weezer.
I have that same uncle but he's super lame and is OK at music and happens to be in a really shitty original music project that is going nowhere. OK wait, I'm actually talking about myself.
At least during the bridge he plays the guitar solo the same as on the record, sometimes improvising makes some people think it sounds better, but that lick is so legendary it should always be played the same.
Shane Vogel who John or Josh? John for the most part almost always played a different solo than what was on the record during live performances and most of them were great, Josh tries to also but always seems to just stick with studio versions.
His opening to this song was crazy. People there probably have no idea how crazy technically he got. Anyways this was a great over all version. Feel like the crowd kinda sucked. Usually the crowd sings thr whole song with him
Dude I could not agree more. The bridge and solo are fucking phenomenally genius considering this song was written by four 22 year old star wars nerds. I've jammed out to the album so much I'd almost be disappointed if I didnt hear the sa.e thing love. Especially with that godlike tone he has for that solo in this video.
If you look at the sponsoring at the beginning it has Guitar Hero Live. This was probably filmed for it and they figured they should upload the actual live version of it to RUclips
When i listen to the videoclip i just do it to listen to that final riff... this man, this band, this song... jesus... this concert also! 45 years of age and still rocking! :D
At no point was rivers ever lame. They've been"anti cool" when you stop worrying about who thinks your cool. You get to be yourself and free to chase your potential
I dunno dude, they ALL look very similar to the way they looked 20 years ago! Its pretty incredible. If I didn't know any better I would have a difficult time deciding if this performance was a year ago or 20...
Rivers’ voice really hasn’t changed much since Blue Album, and if it has, it’s just been for the better. He is the most consistent rock singer with age I think I’ve ever seen.
Mario Martines that's kinda what I said. He's good at doing what the band needs him to do, and maybe he's got some extra skill but I think for the most part he's you're average player and sometimes that's a good thing.
nothing makes me happier than hearing an awesome crowd. brings happy tears to my eyes. this is why music brings us all together. also my bandmate has that guitar strap with the lightning bolt.
dude im only half way through high school (im aussie so yr 7 to 12) and played this just the other day with a band. My ears are still rigning from the drummer, could barely hear when i tried for solo stuff but dude the feeling it gives u is insane. Yep. I said it. i said it is so
One of the greatest live bands to ever play a crowd. If you haven’t seen them live and you’re a fan, PLEASE do. It’s a treat beyond words. An experience you’ll never forget.
And still kicks ass till this day, look at the crowd mixed with the young and the old Great taste in music will always live within and will never be played out
Which is crazy because all us 1992 babies who were too young to know this song still scream it at the top of our lungs in the bar.... august 2019. Weezer is for all rhe generations. Its crazy.... they're never gone!
yeah Alright Somebody's Heine' Is crowdin' my icebox Somebody's cold one Is givin' me chills Guess I'll just close my eyes Oh yeah Alright Feels good Inside Flip on the telly Wrestle with Jimmy Something is bubbling Behind my back The bottle is ready to blow Say it ain't so Your drug is a heart breaker Say it ain't so My love is a life taker I can't confront you I never could do That which might hurt you So try and be cool When I say This way is a water slide away from me That takes you further every day So be cool Say it ain't so Your drug is a heart breaker Say it ain't so My love is a life taker Dear daddy I write you in spite of years of silence You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Say it ain't so Your drug is a heart breaker Say it ain't so My love is a life taker
This was one of the last songs they played when I saw them live. I love them so much. And I feel special being one of the only kids in my town who listens to them. They are amazing!
Oh my gosh..I swear these guys do not get enough credit for how good they are and the fact that they sound better live then on the cd which takes raw talent. These older bands didn't have help making them sound good like these newbies do.
I'm a firm believer in playing the song the way it was recorded with very little deviation, and also playing it and presenting yourself as if no one has ever seen you or the song before. This seems to have done that. Awesome.
They sound almost like the studio recording even after 21 years! I like this version more than the studio version but the studio is 100/100, this one is 101/10 Also, "Goodnight Humans!" - Rivers Cuomo
This song is amazing.i love you guys so much. I listen to everything you do. I was super pumped to send this link and lyrics to my ex that did me wrong habitually. Haven't heard back from her yet. I love you and thank you
I read an old interview with rivers. He said after their blue album became well received, critics said bring more of the raw honesty so Pinkerton was the result. Critics were dissatisfied with that album, so rivers said fuck 'em, pop music only from here on.
SETLIST:
0:24 - Say It Ain't So
1:24 - Wrestle With Jimmy
1:27 - Say It Ain't So resumes
PLEASE
LMAO
Hahahaaa
Boo
Ooo. Mr. 3-seconds over here.
The King of the Nerds! Rock on brother!
Yeah Monkeyboo, good taste in music
I see.
The offspring’s lead singer has a PhD in microbiology, so I would beg to differ.
@@brotatochip7001 virology
king of nerds would be Milo Aukerman, Descendents, molecular biologist
My favorite part of Weezer is the fact that they all look like that uncle we have who is kind of lame but kicks ass at music and happens to be in Weezer.
Right on bro! Rock on!!
well fucking put bro lol
I have that same uncle but he's super lame and is OK at music and happens to be in a really shitty original music project that is going nowhere. OK wait, I'm actually talking about myself.
♫ Evolved Tracks ♫ - Listening Evolved my uncle looks like rivers and he plays
I've had exactly 0 uncles who fit that description.
basically Rivers' aesthetic went from nerdy highschool kid to quirky college professor
Seem's he'd be reasonable to play against in a game of Monopoly, not hogging Park Place and all the Railroads.
Rivers went to my high school. EO Smith
yeah
Doesn’t he have a PHd in literature?
AleisterMeowley from Harvard no less.
At least during the bridge he plays the guitar solo the same as on the record, sometimes improvising makes some people think it sounds better, but that lick is so legendary it should always be played the same.
Shane Vogel who John or Josh? John for the most part almost always played a different solo than what was on the record during live performances and most of them were great, Josh tries to also but always seems to just stick with studio versions.
John also did an improv in scar tissue live.
His opening to this song was crazy. People there probably have no idea how crazy technically he got. Anyways this was a great over all version. Feel like the crowd kinda sucked. Usually the crowd sings thr whole song with him

@@rhuttonaa247 the reaction from Scott at the opening is priceless
These camera angles are straight out of guitar hero 😂
OML
Same tech prod for both...
If you look at the sponsoring at the beginning it has Guitar Hero Live. This was probably filmed for it and they figured they should upload the actual live version of it to RUclips
oh shit i have to play that some day
can confirm they used this for guitar hero live
this is so fucking sick. just hearing that first riff, i felt what the audience was feeling.
EXACTLY
Gabby King wym by Sick???????? wtf is that
TheCompton1963 like really good ?? lol
Gabby King oh oh...this new talk is new to me...maybe im just old....34 :(
When i listen to the videoclip i just do it to listen to that final riff... this man, this band, this song... jesus... this concert also! 45 years of age and still rocking! :D
I just realised, rivers went from being one of the lamest 20 year olds to being one of the coolest 40 year olds and he didn't even change
SprinkleBomb Rivers was always cool dude
At no point was rivers ever lame. They've been"anti cool" when you stop worrying about who thinks your cool. You get to be yourself and free to chase your potential
Now 50
for a 45 year old dude Rivers dont look a day older back in 1995. He still looks like the poster boy for the dorky 90's teen. Thats a compliment btw.
sadly. i think his aging is a little bit visible
I dunno dude, they ALL look very similar to the way they looked 20 years ago! Its pretty incredible. If I didn't know any better I would have a difficult time deciding if this performance was a year ago or 20...
of course it is, but he doesnt look ALMOST 50
sure he does...idve guessed late 40's...your concept of age is off mine used to be too
his guitar keeps him young that's why😌
I've never seen a man play a distorted guitar calmer than Rivers
Noel Gallagher. He hardly moved, an inch
Quite possibly theeee COOLEST nerd to ever walk the Earth!
What about Mc Lovin and Michael Cera?
Jessica M Donald Glover is up there too!
nicely put
@@TheSlipke I heard my Michael Cera is a asshole on set but I dont know man.
*Nerds cmon :( what about Matt and Brian
Rivers’ voice really hasn’t changed much since Blue Album, and if it has, it’s just been for the better. He is the most consistent rock singer with age I think I’ve ever seen.
@Novagats ever hear Ann Wilson sing in Heart?
@@mattlemmons6647 *Freddie Mercury and Weird Al have entered the chat.*
Compared to the album, he's pretty pitchy here. Still a decent performance though
In the same league as Robert Smith
The shadow from Rivers' glasses looks like really angry eyebrows.
hahahahhaha i feel the same hahaha
I remember Billy from power rangers use to do that all the time and I used to LOVE IT
thks, i thought i was crazy hahaa
One of the first things i noticed too! 😬
It kinda reminds me a klingon
I actually think this is one of the best songs ever written. Even though every part is independently simple, as a whole it's a beautiful masterpiece.
Rivers is actually an amazing guitar player
Tommy Yanovich he's good for what the band needs and I think that's really all that matters. You just gotta serve the song
Hoshi Studios no hes just that good
Mario Martines that's kinda what I said. He's good at doing what the band needs him to do, and maybe he's got some extra skill but I think for the most part he's you're average player and sometimes that's a good thing.
Hoshi Studios nah dude he's good. You should here him shred in the glam metal band he used to be apart of when he was a kid. It's called avant garde
I think hes extremely underrated
Here in 2020 and I don’t understand why Weezer is so underrated. My lord they’re so good!
God there it is again. That word used by casuals. Underrated. Stop it. You have to have lived under a rock musically not to rate Weezer.
@@Chris-wq3pe These newgens are ruining my OG collective :/
angry eye brow lighting
Benn Ibbetson I was hoping someone else would see it too 😂
+Steve Aguayo lol me too
I actually thought when I first saw that either he had drawn on eyebrows, or had some condition.
Or jack nicholson
Benn Ibbetson ikr 😂
nothing makes me happier than hearing an awesome crowd. brings happy tears to my eyes. this is why music brings us all together. also my bandmate has that guitar strap with the lightning bolt.
That Intro was majestic
it sounds like their make belive track "Freak me out"
That last "say it ain't so" falsetto is legendary.
Weezer is literally the reason why I started a band
What's your band?
same!!!
Same
Me too
Same
The most covered song by high school garage bands in the early 2000's.
All The Small Things anyone?
As a bass player. A novice have this down in a day. Fun to play.
What's my age again?
Played dammit on live TV here in nz when I was in high school :)
dude im only half way through high school (im aussie so yr 7 to 12) and played this just the other day with a band. My ears are still rigning from the drummer, could barely hear when i tried for solo stuff but dude the feeling it gives u is insane. Yep. I said it. i said it is so
0:22 that smile from Scott (the bass guy)
you know it's going down
=w=
I must admit: the sound and vocals are so clear. Congratulations quite an amazing live performance.
Thank you to the engineers 😊
i just love playing this song on my guitar with my headphones on
me too
I like playing it on my bass guitar
And me in my drums
So... A new band?
Hey I'll play lead if you play rhythm haha
One of the greatest live bands to ever play a crowd. If you haven’t seen them live and you’re a fan, PLEASE do. It’s a treat beyond words. An experience you’ll never forget.
Dude! Saw them in aus last weekend, incredible.
Yesss, those three years of Japanese paid off, I can read the stickers on Rivers' guitar.
do you know the 虎馬 joke?
No... e_e I can read the kanji but I don't get it.
the joke is tora-uma, in other word "trauma" :-)
there is a tiger sitting on a horse.
OH, wow, thank you for explaining that for me. Never woulda figured that out. ;P
OtterTot what's it say
The great thing about this performance is: effortlessly delivered, yet hits really hard.
As he begins to play the guitar a big grin came on my face.. This is music that will last for decades..
I love Weezer! They sound just as good, if not better live, as they do on vinyl/cd. Solid band!!!
Rivers with the cheeky intro. This band is so good.
His guitar looks like a nerds laptop. And yes I am a proud nerd..
This song came out 24 years ago...
APodbayDoor how old does that make you feel?
And still kicks ass till this day, look at the crowd mixed with the young and the old
Great taste in music will always live within and will never be played out
I'm 12
I’m 11
Which is crazy because all us 1992 babies who were too young to know this song still scream it at the top of our lungs in the bar.... august 2019. Weezer is for all rhe generations. Its crazy.... they're never gone!
Johnny Knoxville is a good singer
Unknown Reject -- LOL oh shit I was just saying the singer looks like a cross between Johnny Knoxville and Stephen Colbert
Don't you mean Fred Armisen?
wanted write the same than i scrolled down !
Unknown Reject I thought that was Johnny Knoxville
I thought the same lol
Man, brings me back. The 90's had the best music in my opinion. Love this tune.😎😎😎
playing this song for 25 years really has Rivers SHREDDING his guitar parts
0:10 when I discovered guitar for the first time
For a bunch of 50 year old men, their looking rather good for their age. (My dad is 51 and he looks about 60)
Scott is the only one that is over 47.
Ben Kalik
Pat is only 47. Look it up.
No alcohol, no drugs that's the reason
Your dad says thanks.....🤪🤓😎
*Men in their mid 40's. None of them are quite fifty yet.
I can't get over how chill they look while sounding this badass.
Still my favorite Weezer song by far and the song that made me fall in love with them.
I love the background guitar sound during the verses so much in this version
yeah
Alright
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes
Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside
Flip on the telly
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a water slide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
Dear daddy
I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
One of the best riffs of all time
This was one of the last songs they played when I saw them live. I love them so much. And I feel special being one of the only kids in my town who listens to them. They are amazing!

I'm a firm believer in playing the song the way it was recorded with very little deviation, and also playing it and presenting yourself as if no one has ever seen you or the song before. This seems to have done that. Awesome.
I saw them in concert 10 years ago. I remember being more excited for Fall Out Boy but Weezer was waaaay better live
Scott's smile on 0:23 is everything
love a crowd with no cellphones even tho it was mandatory not to have phones out. They still got the full effect of the song with no distractions
Fuck this was my first Weezer song. I'm gonna cry.
Catyclept same
The ENTIRE Blue album was epic from start to finish.
Catyclept same
I legit cried, and I'm not even ashamed about it.
I cried thru the whole performance unlocked memories and life. I hope you were able to release those tears on positive vibe
The bassist enjoyment smile after the first River's riff made my day :D
Perfect! Most underrated songwriter of his generation, greatest song!
One of the best bands of all time. This song is genius and full of pure raw emotion.
They sound amazing live
Those riffs just gave me some of the best goosebumps ever
The perfect song doesn't exi--
say it ain'tso, it does exist!
the intro is so nice!!! Rivers rock!!
1:03 why is Rivers so mad!?
My favorite comment!
Someone’s cold one was giving him chills!!
Lmao
This brings me back. I cried for some reason after he said "goodnight humans." It was so cute. ♥
Such an amazing band. Unreal talent even to this day
Weezer is so incredible live 💛
カッコいい❤ しかも指弾き！
こんな難しい曲を歌いながら演奏するなんてスゴい！応援しています！
weezer is one of the most band of all time
So cool to go back in time. We saw so many great bands form their styles on the backside of hard grunge and punk
might be one of the best Weezer solos ever
Wish I was there
"Goodnight humans"
@@oneimage84 That wasn't an insult.
That was the cherry on top for me. What a great exit!
I thought he said cubans XDDD
Such a great band. They can do anything... and do it very well.
These guys defined my high school years.I will always love “Weezer”.🤘
eternamente una cancion para la eternidad
3:31 and on is just NUTS 🔥🔥🔥
thank god no phones for this concert love how weezer feels about it
Having the chords on the upbeat makes this song feel so laid back, and then the chorus just hits like a freight train
OMG...WEEZER rules! My Trader Joe's was playing their Buddy Holly a few months ago...a few of us customers were almost dancing in the aisles!
I saw weezer in 2001 ,they brought down the house ,the entire arena was rocking out.love you guys.🎸🎸🎸
They sound almost like the studio recording even after 21 years!
I like this version more than the studio version but the studio is 100/100, this one is 101/10
Also,
"Goodnight Humans!"
- Rivers Cuomo
Crazy funk levels, and that voice 🤯. Awesome song 😍
I love this song. It’s such a pleasure to play it on the guitar.
Perfect performance
They still sound great to me
Best summer songs in one's lifetime
0:23 Scott's smile is priceless
Big bang theory, before Big Bang theory. The 90s was a great time to be alive. Such good music back then.!
Why am I seeing this video almost five time a day?
Because it's awesome, say it ain't so.
Love the solo
i doubt it but i hope someday i get to see them live. i love weezer so much
Such a simple yet beautiful solo
2:04 They changed the letter D to the letter W on the Diezel Amp, so now they‘re using a „Wiezel“ Amp, lol
lmao just noticed it, nice
I love the way he starts off with the slide
band of geeks.awesome!
This song means too much to me. I love it above all others. Thanks
Im playing this with my middle school band and I’m silently singing the harmonies 😂
This is such a bop ♥️
This song is amazing.i love you guys so much. I listen to everything you do. I was super pumped to send this link and lyrics to my ex that did me wrong habitually. Haven't heard back from her yet. I love you and thank you
1:03
I 100% thought that the shadow of his glasses were his eyebrows
kumanon kawaii😍
=w= weezer forever
ruven samaraweera it looks like Waylon Jennings mixed with Van Halen
Listening to this song for 500th time it cannot get old
i really want them to play some pinkerton songs live
eggsBenedict We all do
eggsBenedict but sadly, they never will bc rivers hates the album
They played El Scorcho live, and The Good Life
They played the entire album live a few years back.
I read an old interview with rivers. He said after their blue album became well received, critics said bring more of the raw honesty so Pinkerton was the result. Critics were dissatisfied with that album, so rivers said fuck 'em, pop music only from here on.
this song is so awesome. I love it.
i was today years old when i found out the lead singer of weezer is stephen colbert
Not even close, bruh.
???
Hahahahaha
True tho
Melissa Ferrell it’s a joke Karen
Beautiful, beautiful!!!
