We wouldn't have gotten Green, but we wouldn't have gotten Pinkerton 2. A very consistent theme with Rivers Cuomo is that he hates doing the same thing. Maladroit is the opposite of Green is the opposite of Pinkerton is the opposite of Blue. OK Human is the opposite of Van Weezer is the opposite of Black is the opposite of White. If Pinkerton had been more successful, we probably would have still gotten something like the Green sound, just played less safe and with more emotional lyrics.
@@TheRenegade... I'm glad someone shares my same take on Weezer. Rivers likes being weird with his songs and experiments a whole lot. No album is consistent with the last, and I find that awesome about them; it's an adventure along River's experiments.
I don't think so Rivers said that he didn't like the direction they were going by that time and he basically just did it out of depression. If Pinkerton was succesful the band would most likely have a break or just seize to exist
@@certifiedgoofer there are so many songs that would be fantastic and fun remade like this, I'm thinking it would be fun to hear their interpretation of "This is Such a Pity" from Make Believe.
@@Textile_Courtesan You can check out Tell Me What You Did. Its demo that got changed into This Is Such A Pity. It really feels like its from Pinkerton.
The story about this version is that Rivers spent his 1995 vacation on an island. He forgot all of his problems for a little bit and had the time of his life :) also there were japanese girls there
I'd put the vocals WAY lower in the mix to make it more accurate but the instrumental is on point. the solo goes criminally hard. also love that little superfriend synth before the second verse.
On one hand, I respect Rivers need to evolve as an artist. On the other I'd listen to way more Weezer if it sounded like this lol. This is fucking amazing! Just adding heavy guitars is one thing this is so much more than that!
Instant subscribe, Pinkerton phase is back baby (would love to hear Haunt You Everyday, Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter or even a remake of Superfriend in the near future)
Wow. Wait til Rivers hears this. Bet he'll dig it... So interested in how you made this! I think you could do an entire video series on just the creative process of your compositions. Well done!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 =w=
This kicks major ass but its just not pinkerton with those squeaky clean green vocals, pinkerton needs those raw vocals with brian singing background in the studio alongside rivers instead of dubbing him in in post
O Girlfriend could be good this style too. I had thought about doing it myself before. Good work! I love the guitar work. The drum mixing isn’t quite right but it works well enough. The actual Pinkerton drums don’t have that pumpy of compression. They are still compressed and quite distorted too, especially on certain tracks. But the cymbals don’t pump that extreme. I would be willing to do a mix of this to get it closer(I’m a mix engineer). Let me know.
Yeah, you could give the mix a shot. Drums are not my area of expertise, so I just cranked the limiter to make them sound big. It's effective but also sort of a cheap trick
if Pinkerton was more successful in 1996 maybe they would've continued in this style

@@wickedchild8501 Rivers and the gang just wanna have fun
maybe my mom would been a bigger Weezer fan
Perfect situation would go hard
i thought you were american
this guy gets it
@@spacelol6444 what
I thought I already told you that I'm no six foot, hot look, All-American man, but you keep insisting that I am American. When will you learn?
@@psxfoxhoundHe never gave up devotion to you being American.
Everything is Pinkerton
cool pfp
@@pyrobyte69 thanks man
Will there be Pinkerton versions of non-Weezer tracks?
true
We are Pinkerton
When you're depressed af but still wanna relax and have a good time.
Hahaha
That describes all of Weezer's music and maybe why I love it so much 😂
this is literally "the good life" but more catchy (?)
Now let’s hear the Pinkerton version of “Beverly Hills” and “Pork and Beans”
Please don't touch "Pork and Beans" that's just epic as is.
@@Textile_Courtesan i believe a pinkerton version could be very interesting though
also dementia
Blast Off is the Pinkerton Beverly Hills.
@@certifiedgoofer there are so many songs that would be fantastic and fun remade like this, I'm thinking it would be fun to hear their interpretation of "This is Such a Pity" from Make Believe.
@@Textile_Courtesan You can check out Tell Me What You Did. Its demo that got changed into This Is Such A Pity. It really feels like its from Pinkerton.
original ver sounds like a happy ending, this one feels like he's narrating what could've been
I think the original is also actually sad. I think it’s a fantasy of a sad man.
@@BullyMaguire4ever yeah it was originally called hide into the sun
The story about this version is that Rivers spent his 1995 vacation on an island. He forgot all of his problems for a little bit and had the time of his life :) also there were japanese girls there
of course there was
He he😂
“also there were japanese girls there” IM CRYITJHBG
only someone completely and totally obsessed with pinkerton could have made this. I commend you
r stubbornness
"Island in the Sun" is just the same chords as "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams."
so is no other one
fr
and it has the same chords as pink triangle
And Mykel and Carli
He's used this progression often. It's also been common in pop music for decades.
the superfriend melody sneaking its way in makes this so good
So glad you noticed! SFTBH lives on
@@AlmostWeezer the whole arrangement was top tier, really hope you make some more of these!
is that the intro guitar line?
@@TouringFunkBand1it’s at 1:03
Right as I read this comment that part started playing lol
Island in the Sun is already bittersweet to me for personal reasons.
This is probably the closest to what it sounds like in my head.
This makes the holiday feel far away, like Rivers wants to escape to that Island in the Sun but he’s stuck where he’s at.
holiday....... far away......... to stay............
@@maggiedubz On a holiday
I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER
SOMEONE SHOW THIS TO RIVERS
the greatest song that ever lived
Now, this is very Pinkerton style..
Although imagine how more Pinkerton it would be if it was tuned down half a step.
THIS ARRANGEMENT IS CRAZY I LOVE THIS
you understand cuomo's more aggressive writing style during this time so well, amazing work man :>
shame the vocals couldn't be re-done in a Pinkerton style because the instrumental is perfect
AI covers are pretty shaky sometimes, but I wonder if these vocals can be run through an AI of Rivers’ Pinkerton era voice to get it closer
@@mccarney4207perish
Would need to run Matt's falsetto into it through AI.
i wanna hear haunt you everyday in pinkerton style
just listen to the demo
@@evan_syyup
I mixed the demo and atudio version together i think
just listen to the demo.
I'd put the vocals WAY lower in the mix to make it more accurate but the instrumental is on point. the solo goes criminally hard. also love that little superfriend synth before the second verse.
1:40 - 1:50?
@@usernamesnamesnames what?
@@nspectorrHe’s asking if that’s where the Superfriend bit is.
I love weezer fans so fucking much lol thank u for all existing
didn’t realize i needed this today
This is awesome! I bet “This Is Such A Pity” would be amazing as a Pinkerton track
Yes PLEASE THIS IS A DREAM
Indeed
The demo is basically this
Bro cook so hard with this one!
On one hand, I respect Rivers need to evolve as an artist. On the other I'd listen to way more Weezer if it sounded like this lol. This is fucking amazing! Just adding heavy guitars is one thing this is so much more than that!
I've never really been a big fan of this song, but this version is actually pretty amazing. Just shows what a genius songwriter Rivers is
A darker, more abrasive version of paradise.
I adore this even more than the original song
It just feels so much more emotional and personal
This has no business going this hard. Makes me appreciate those Pinkerton guitar tones even more ✋🏼😪🎸
if this was on pinkerton, his vocals wouldn't be so gremlin-y
Song for this summer
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE THIS IS WONDERFUL
holy shit
also loving the brian backing vocals
fuck yeah!!! Dude more Pinkerton style the best era of weezer ever
this is simply incredible. everything sounds better in this style. expect more of this, great work!
this is such a good album translation, this version would fit so well on pinkerton, great work
Instant subscribe, Pinkerton phase is back baby
(would love to hear Haunt You Everyday, Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter or even a remake of Superfriend in the near future)
I have beena Weezer fan for like literally years. Like 2 almost and this is so good
Thanks for blessing us with your work dude, this is so epic!
everybody wants a chance to feel all alone
Wow. Wait til Rivers hears this. Bet he'll dig it... So interested in how you made this!
I think you could do an entire video series on just the creative process of your compositions. Well done!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
=w=
Agreed
im obsessed with this its so good
I really wish Weezer made more music that sounded like Pinkerton.
some parts of this makes this feel like a dsbm song, beautiful!
this is amazing, I think I'll listen to this version from now on
This kicks major ass but its just not pinkerton with those squeaky clean green vocals, pinkerton needs those raw vocals with brian singing background in the studio alongside rivers instead of dubbing him in in post
This is beyond amazing! I never would’ve thought I needed this! Great job! 💚💛🖤
we NEED an "only in dreams" pinkerton cover 🙏 amazing work by the way ‼
I would love to hear Slob in this style
I mean Slob is already pretty close to this, Maladroit is kinda like the little brother to Pinkerton nobody really listens to
This appears to be serial killer music, but I like it.
amazing work honestly i love what you did with the song
my favorite Weezer album and my favorite Weezer song, together at last
This version goes hard
Makes me wish the official version sounded more like this
Looks like I need to subscribe now
this whole channel is amazing, great job!!
I’m so glad I found this thank you I love it so much
this is perfection! Was half expecting a half time chorus tho 😆
This sounds legit amazing, I’m fascinated to hear what else you’ve got down the line
this is unfathomably based
Why are you so good at this?
amazing.
THIS IS SO COOL DUDE
how did you pull off the most weezer solo evcer this is talent
put the island in the sun 1999 demo vocals and my life is yours
That's a good idea! I was thinking of redoing this with the guitars tuned down anyway, and the demo vocals might match the vibe better
Fantastic
found my new favorite thing
I was just thinking this is now my absolute obsession
This is so awesome. I’m so happy this isn’t AI.
This makes no sense and it's amazing
Beautiful
So so beautiful omg
That solo! nice
God damn you nailed this.
this is incredible!
Holy guacamole! I love this.
THIS IS SO GOOD???
yo just checked out your stuff with gnarly horse and its tight as hell!! keep it up dude
@@cosmicthrillseekers thanks!!! I should probably do a shameless plug at some point on here
actually really good !!
Love it
THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE U
The solooooo ❤😝🤓
This is awesome!
this goes craaaaazy
Dude!!! I love this

@@AlmostWeezer what’s your email address so I could contact you?
@@AlmostWeezer I thought I replied but I don’t see my comment. How should I contact you to get the files to do a mix? Email?
@@AlmostWeezer hey man, let me know how to get those files, to do a mix of this?
@@BullyMaguire4ever you can email me at gnarlyhorseband@gmail.com
THIS IS GREAT WHAT THE HELL!?!?
Now we need Tired of Sex if it was on Green
this is phenomenal, fam
I think some of the songs from Make Believe would be perfect in this style, or maybe some of their demo versions like "Tell Me What You Did."
Haunt You Every Day would work great for sure. Make believe was pretty good, it just needed more attitude
this is actually so good
Now this is weezer
Toda la discografía debe de ser solo Pinkerton...
I LOVE PINKERTON 🙏
sounds like something off make believe honestly, really good (not like the party tracks more like hold me and haunt you everyday)
True, I mean Rivers did call Make Believe "A combination of the Green album and Pinkerton"
❤❤❤ Interesting. I like it ❤❤❤
this sounds so accurate what
WAIT PLEASE PUT THIS OH SPOTIFY WYF
Goddamn I wish this is what we got
Good job!
YOU HAVE TO DO BUDDY HOLLY
THIS IS SO COOL
Better than original.
Island In The Sun also uses the I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams bass line
This is so cool
