🤓 thats actually semi-false. They kicked him out because he accidentally got her girl pregnant and didn't know what to do with it. The girl starts being overtly attached with him and starts hanging out in the studio stealing his attention away from the recording sessions and just overall disrupting his work's quality. Im not sure if its true but he also starts drinking and shows up drunk in the studio.

Nirvana was a sardonic, cynical, depressive band with a tortured soul junkie as the lead who used jokes to cope with serious pain. That was "cool" and "rock and roll" to the core. It felt fresh and punk in 1991. Weezer were a bunch of geeks jacking the popular style with a corniness, which has been done by band class nerds every generation. The quality of the music was irrelevant, it was the image and delivery i'm referring to. The Blue Album sounds like a high school loser's diary, and the problems are all minor juvenile stuff on paper. It's not cool in art to be sad sometimes. It's cool to be tragically depressed (grunge, 2020s alternative), have a confident stoic outlook on real struggles (rap) or completely lacking neuroticism at all (hair metal, mid 2000s pop) in image. Depends on the times and type of music which.

I remember buying this album off the cover alone when it first came out. The tone of the album influenced a lot of my musical tastes in high school and college. I embraced Nirvana when all of my friends were stuck in hair metal’s imminent demise. But there was even something about Nirvana that just seemed too earnest. They and their fans seemed to take the band and music WAY too seriously. But Weezer defied this and at the same time never seemed like a novelty act to me. It disarmed the earnestness of the grunge scene with a truthful cheekiness and a wink. It was like the album was saying “Yes the ennui of youth is real but it is also fleeting along as is the desperation of hormone soaked young love and heartbreak.” The blue album captured that ontological lightness of my youth so perfectly. I bought every CD single with all of the B sides and even bought the soundtrack to the movie Angus for “You gave your love to me softly”. It’s in the b sides to the blue album where I finally understood what hooked me into this album. But it’s like the way of all things. No other Weezer album could live up to that first discovery of something new and different that spoke to me. A comedian once said “It’s hard to stay funny when you stop riding the bus.” I would say about Weezer it’s hard to stay awkward and desperate when you start being a rock star.

Back in the 80s, when I was a kid, my dad had developed a device that would automatically switch out the cartridges on our Nintendo NES console. There was nothing like it in existence at that time. It would automatically remove the current game cartridge, and insert the next game cartridge. It would also automatically blow on the contacts to make sure they were clean! He never went to market with this great invention, and I wish he would have. It would’ve been a real game changer.

As someone who has only ever heard memes and memes about Weezer and only actively listened to Buddy Holly ironically because of the memes, after watching this video I went and watched every video that you made about Weezer. Now I am doing a deep discography dive of Weezer and am actually enjoying it. Congratulations, you may have just created a new Weezer fan. Hard subscribe.

Rik knew how to make real, genuine rock music that was as accessible as the most poppy pop. Surprisingly harder than it seems, as the road is littered with the bodies of bands that knew how to rock but didn't have pop appeal, or strayed too far from rock and lost their authenticity. The Cars bridged the gap as seamlessly as anyone, and Weezer managed the same.

I love the choice of having them all do something different, but subtle, with their hands.

Very informative and enjoyable information!!!! ❤❤❤

I got to see weezer tour the blue album when i was 16 yrs old. It was the winter of '97 at the The brewery- Louisville, KY. Nerf herder opened. It was my first show. It was a small venue..much smaller than you'll ever see them play now. It was $20 general admission. No seats. And of course they were incredible. I gotta say nerf herder was pretty damn good too. The blue album is easily top 5 favorite albums of all time. And if i had to pick one album that defined my youth, it would have to be this one. At 16 I was strange mix of personality. The odd ball amongst outcast types. Not to be so cliche but i really was the quintessential old soul. In my 20s i discovered this type of stuff and it completely explained everything that befuddled me. But at the time, I didnt understand myself but i knew how i felt. I knew who i was. And i never hid from it. I was really really shy w girls so it was a super lonely time, until i discovered alcohol. But in a nutshell thats why i would pick this album as my youth album. Because of its honesty. It wasn't trying to be anything but true to itself. It wore its heart on its sleeve. A true rock n roll masterpiece that thought me what punk was before i encountered punk. Its embracing your true self. Its championing individualism. Part of my core essence. And thats why this album will always speak to me. ✌️

Blue album became blue album after green came out. Super similar cover just different color and self titled.

When I was 15 a good friend of mine who was dying from cancer gave me this album. The next day my family piled into our minivan to drive from Philly to the Jersey Shore. I listened to it front to back, while staring at the album insert, the whole car ride. It was the first time I ever experienced nostalgia from something I had never heard or seen before. They really did capture that perfect feeling of transition from childhood to teenager/adulthood. Weezer wanted to be the next Nirvana but I wanted to be the next Weezer.

I find it funny that depending on where you look, the shade of blue changes.

The album is luminous, without decay and without a trace of Nirvana's tortured souls. This was a new way of understanding pop that has marked a whole generation of current bands. This is one of the few perfect debuts in rock history, it took the Beatles three albums to achieve perfection, the Beach Boys eight.

I saw them as a annoying radio rock band but little did I know they have actual fans who argue over which album is the best. They still made Beverly Hills so I can’t respect them.
