If I had my way, I'd probably put the This is Such a Pity chorus as a counter-melody to the Tell Me What You Did chorus. If Rivers ever hears enough fan love for this version of the song, I'd love to see him and the band do a pseudo-mashup of those two versions.
...or you know hed probably re-use it for a track on some spongebob movie or a track which takes parts of Crazy Train... Those 2 exemples are why I don't think Rivers should leave the demos as they are haha...
@Nome Cognome personally i think red is one of their best works, especially featuring deluxe tracks (mostly the 4 main deluxe tracks and their cover of the weight because i love the og song)
You tweakin rubin made this album the shit. Maladroit and green album were let downs but make belive at least brings some good blue album and pinkerton type songs
honestly i prefer this version than "this is such a pity", this gives a vibe much more similar to pinkerton and feels more personal than the finished product
i just love the demos so much more. i think it's because its not "clean" and produced that much. but hearing their demos gives me so much comfort edit: now thinking of it, probably because weezer was the first band i loved. so im just going to have unintentional comfort with them. idk.
@@alexmott507 Actually I did buy that one back in 2016. I liked Summer Elaine and Drunk Dory but not enough to "break the curse" at the time. Thank you for suggesting the EPs.
I like this. First time hearing it. There isn't a Weezer song i don't like, i love them all. The guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, all of them are superb.
Gonna be honest, I prefer this song over what was released on make believe by a longshot. I know Make Believe is a make or a break album for most people, but as someone who is getting into Weezer 20 years too late, these are just my opinions. The chorus is so much more satisfying, with the guitars coming in and Rivers' melody over the top of the chords really works in my opinion. I also prefer the lyrics, as I found the ones in the final song to be a teensy bit cheesy. I know you could probably say the same about the lyrics in here, but I think they're just that tiny bit more interesting. The general vibe of this song just feels so much better to me. I wish this would be released on Spotify and/or just recorded in better quality. It's such a good sounding song, and I wish it had been released in some form alongside the final cut. The Solo and breakdown is so good, and I've found myself listening to this on repeat all day. I will admit, my opinion is biased due to my love for distortion on guitars, and my gravitation to songs with more oomph to them, but I do think my point still stands. This sounds way more like classic Weezer than most of Make Believe. I have seen people say that the sound is a lot more like something out of Pinkerton and I agree. I've seen people say that Make Believe is like a cross between the Green album and Pinkerton, for better and for worse, and I agree that it did change some of the songs. This one is actually a great example. In the pre-chorus you can kind of hear the tug between the two albums, before reaching the chorus which sounds very Pinkerton. This is described way better in MarcButEvil's "Make Believe - How One Album Ruined Weezer's Reputation" at the 21:14 minute mark. It's actually a really good video to look into if you're not very informed on Weezer's decline. In the end, I think this song is an absolute straight banger, and I wish it was released to something like Spotify, even with some other Demos or bonus tracks. Just my two cents though, feel free to disagree. :)
I love following the song writing process and discovering the changes that were made as songs were being demoed! “She Who is Militant” turning into “This is Such a Pity” is one of the biggest leaps I’ve seen... I never even associated these songs with one another.
Are we talking about the same This Is Such a Pity? Where the hell is the overexaggerated 80's aesthetic?! There's a reason this is my 4th favorite Weezer song!!!
The pre-chorus is like the green album sound and the Pinkerton sound fighting for control of the song, with Pinkerton winning in the chorus. Shame this version Wasn’t on Make Believe. MarcButEvil described it perfectly
It still follows the chord progressions of This Is Such A Pity. And for the notes in the chorus it's just the melody in the studio demo, except only playing the first two strings. Just more distortion
@@JaysonCarmona I get ya, no disrespect meant. I just find "This is Such a Pity" to be better arranged, have a higher quality solo, and have a better chorus melody.
@@MichaelDermotMusic i like this version more just cus the guitars sound more distorted but the vocal melodies on the chorus in the make believe version are so much better
I can't believe MB got shafted so hard, could have been one of the best albums of all time if the critical reception of Pinkerton at the time made Rivers absolutely horrified at the idea of trying to reproduce that sound.
I feel like MarcButEvil described this song really well with the conflict of green and Pinkerton fighting
I agree
Which video did he talk about it? I wanna watch it
@@obikenobi9775the one where he talked about make believe
He’s in the room with us…
@@coreevI was shocked when I saw his comment had less likes than mine at first
raw sounding weezer is when weezer sounds best
=W=
i love your videos
Exact;y
thanks for bringing attention to the demos, they're so much better than what we actually got
=w=
=w=
I honestly like more this version than the final version; it really feels like a Pinkerton Song
Most of their demos are like this, Rivers is stil writing these bangers and then they just fuck them up in the studio somehow
If I had my way, I'd probably put the This is Such a Pity chorus as a counter-melody to the Tell Me What You Did chorus. If Rivers ever hears enough fan love for this version of the song, I'd love to see him and the band do a pseudo-mashup of those two versions.
...or you know hed probably re-use it for a track on some spongebob movie or a track which takes parts of Crazy Train... Those 2 exemples are why I don't think Rivers should leave the demos as they are haha...
this is actually an amazing track. If it was released as the official "This is such a pity" it might've been one of the best songs by weezer.
someone build a time machine to go back to 2004 and stop rick rubin producing weezer
nah cuz rick rubin helped rivers a lot even if mb sucked i would prefer rivers mental health is good over a good album
@@pinkeo64 that's true, at least the guy took the extra step and helped rivers tremendously
@@pinkeo64 this is why make believe is the best weezer album
@Nome Cognome personally i think red is one of their best works, especially featuring deluxe tracks (mostly the 4 main deluxe tracks and their cover of the weight because i love the og song)

Indeed...
I like the final product but this good asf
Such a pity that they scrapped 'All I Wanna Do'
you could say that
this is such a pity
i just love the demos so much more. i think it's because its not "clean" and produced that much. but hearing their demos gives me so much comfort
edit: now thinking of it, probably because weezer was the first band i loved. so im just going to have unintentional comfort with them. idk.
i feel the exact same
same man weezer is how i discovered my love for music
Same dude. Blue album came out a month before I was born. They were my first band too. Been listening to them since their start!
If i had a Weezer cover band, I would only play this version. =w=
PS: This is the first pro-Weezer vibe I've had since 2009. This demo is that good.
Hell my band rarely plays covers... but if we pick Weezer, it's gonna be this song.
If you haven't liked Weezer in a while, you should check out The White Album and their Summer / Autumn EPs from this year, they're outstanding
@@alexmott507 Actually I did buy that one back in 2016. I liked Summer Elaine and Drunk Dory but not enough to "break the curse" at the time. Thank you for suggesting the EPs.
words cant describe how much i love 2:24
I cry with that part
I like this demo a lot. At first the verses threw me off, but I kinda dig them now. The choruses are reallll good
I like this. First time hearing it. There isn't a Weezer song i don't like, i love them all. The guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, all of them are superb.
“Where’s my sex”
omg this chorus is a million times better
Nope don't think so
Come on!!
@@nickrichards2986 Delusion. Convince yourself
I liked This is just a pity a lot but this whole song is so much fucking better lol
THE CHORUS FITS WAY BETTER
This song makes me get naked and dance while eating peanut butter!!!!
Listen to it every night!!!!!
This is excellent
this sounds kind of like blue almost
Very awesome

Yeah I came here because of that video. This demo is fire ngl. Absolute bop.
Hell yeah :)
@@cboisandlin9601 same here
Dude… fuckin chill😂😂😂😂😂
This is better then the release they should’ve went with this
guess "she who is militant" turned into this is such a pity? weird process
Yep, and its all documented in half a million demos.
@@lazrpo little more exaggeration, it’s more like 6 lol
@@Imdone13Gaming lol there's legitimately 6 versions of She Who Is Militant alone, iirc. Rivers REALLY wanted this song to work!
I love following the song writing process and discovering the changes that were made as songs were being demoed! “She Who is Militant” turning into “This is Such a Pity” is one of the biggest leaps I’ve seen... I never even associated these songs with one another.
Both songs are so vastly different I wish both could've been released. Kind of like Since You Came Around/Hawaii and Jacked up.
so gooooooddd
I love both versions
Thank God I'm not the only one 😭 everyone's dragging This is Such a Pity but I honestly love both so much
i luv weezer too.
Wtf this is way better. God damn it they always make classic Weezer shit then scrap it
I like thew raw sound of this demo.
Are we talking about the same This Is Such a Pity?
Where the hell is the overexaggerated 80's aesthetic?! There's a reason this is my 4th favorite Weezer song!!!
🔥🔥🔥
The chorus is soooo much better on this version!!!!!
The pre-chorus is like the green album sound and the Pinkerton sound fighting for control of the song, with Pinkerton winning in the chorus. Shame this version Wasn’t on Make Believe. MarcButEvil described it perfectly
This sounds better than this is such a pity
Can’t believe they changed the lyrics. This is such a pity.
the verses are a bit rough but the chorus gives off strong blue album vibes
Dude this stuff is so 90's and pinkertonish
This song is fucking amazing
cannot believe they released this is such a pity over this version’s layout. absolutely insane
For real bro
In an alternative universe, I hope to believe that Ric Ocasek worked on Make Believe.
“How did things get so bad” indeed
That was jarring going into the chorus.
i need a tissue for my nose
WHAT IS GOING ONNN
I'm trying to make a cover for this song but can't find guitar tabs on the internet, might be tough to do it.
It still follows the chord progressions of This Is Such A Pity. And for the notes in the chorus it's just the melody in the studio demo, except only playing the first two strings. Just more distortion
The opening chords play, to me at least, sound like A5 to B5. power chords if you're unfamiliar w chords names
I think Rivers was going through an identity crisis when he threw this version out
I feel like the pitty is way better but a fully completed and produced version of this would still be really good regardless
=w=
This is tremendously better than the album version
Most of their demos are, it's weird.
This feels so Pinkerton
anyone got tabs for this version? lol. The guitars are so much better than in the studio version
Vodka, that's what he needs
Much better than what was released
@@MichaelDermotMusic to each his own. Make believe sounded too pop.
@@JaysonCarmona I get ya, no disrespect meant. I just find "This is Such a Pity" to be better arranged, have a higher quality solo, and have a better chorus melody.
@@MichaelDermotMusic ya this is such a pity is waaay better this is a good start but it’s missing the umph and spice that the final version has
@@MichaelDermotMusic i like this version more just cus the guitars sound more distorted but the vocal melodies on the chorus in the make believe version are so much better
Exactly with this is such a pity it's way too popy and overproduced also this sounds like something from Pinkerton
anyone know what alone album this is on?
It’s on make believe but this version of the song never god published
@@Logannnnnnnnnnn i realized. I kept looking around and found the demo. Thank you though
This is wayyyy better. Has a little Pinkerton in it too.
Very Pinkerton sounding.
Hold me
Havent heard the original. Not the biggest Weezer head. But this is amazing how come this is not a proper song
the chrous is clean it feels like a beat switch
🫶
This sound better than release
3:13
This song is way better then this is such a pity

FR AND BADASS NAME
@@Sizl._.l 😎
God this song got neutered
At least the final name was accurate, it is such a pity that this song got gutted
the style of make believe being changed from this hurts me so much :(
Should’ve stuck with normal guitar instead of 80s synth
This Is Such A Pity is so much better
I like the rawness of this recording though
No
@@Dalva2050 Yes
Wow this is such a pity feels like such a downgrade next to this
Damn this is way better than anything weezer has put out since pinkerton
