GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:

" You Joined Tinder? "
Rivers : Yeah
" Your wife is cool about that? "
Rivers : Yeah
" Is it for research purposes only? "
Rivers : * Deep Breath *
Rivers : Yeah
You hear about the party after the show?
Yeah
Do you want a beer?
...Yeah.
@the only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need Yeah
Oh man it’s gonna be the best, I’m so stoked. Take it easy brah!
Um...I wanna go, but my friends don’t wanna go, can I get a ride?
Rivers looks like he just woke up. Just rolled out bed and went for the interview.
Turd Ferguson totally...but even so, still doesn’t look nearly 50!
"Shows his dedication"
Wait... he isn't?
He’s wearing a $6000 shirt
I clicked to hear his voice for the first time and ended up watching the entire video
same
EasilyAmused you hadn’t heard it in a song first?
its different
talking voice is sometimes really different from singing voice. For example Charlie Puth's voice
UnconventionalScribbler same :)
Rivers’ voice is so asmr
Rivers sings chill weezer songs to you while sleeping when
Rivers is 47... He could pass for 30 imo.
Chris he could pass for 27!
Ikr
Someone's going to say that he could pass for 14 next
He could pass for 14
Mid 20s. Tops. He just has that boyish charm.
Hearing him say he’s going to keep playing until he’s 60 just made my life
isnt that a few years from now 😩😩
Well that's just 10 more years
@@lovelar23 hey I’ll take what I can get lol we still got 10 years not bad!
He's full of sh*t. There's no reason =W= can't keep going for another 30 years. Look at the Stones. I'd be really surprised to see Weezer call it a day in 2030 (When Rivers is 60). He loves music. He loves Weezer. He loves playing with those guys. Not going to happen.
@@lovelar23 with Weezer that’s like 15 more albums so we good
Hard to believe this guy is 47
W L ikr
I remember at a concert in Chicago, Rivers ride past the crowd on a razor scooter.
That was the best first concert I could have had.
🙌🙌🙌🙌 This lol!
lol I was at that show too
He looks just like Buddy Holly lmao
Oh oh and you're mary tyler moore
ÁUß Code II i don’t care what they say about us anyways
@@drewh8027 bang bang knock on the door
@@tyde4610 another bang bang get down on the floor
@@oliviaratnour1959 oh no what do we do
He's voice is so soothing 🖤
He’s 47
@@boredomcomicc3895 ok
Rivers changed so much. He used to never laugh, smile or look at anyone. He used to just stare at the ground.
@@catsandpiano3072 I'm sure a lot of that had to do with age. In your mid 20s, you care a lot more about what people think, and your life is more centered around short term relationships. As he is now a 50+ year old a married man with a kid, I doubt he cares so much about what people think. He seems more mature and happy.
I'm sure the meditation has contributed to this too!
@@donbeck8835 ha try telling that to people in their mid 20s
@@ello_ello_ I'm in my late 20s
rivers is so cute i love him
I put this on as background for studying to, Rivers' voice is so calming and peaceful
That sideburns tho
I like weezer
we know you like them, mr. fantano
Dan party not very fond of Anthony fantano actually
I don’t like Weezer. I LOVE WEEZER
I also like Weezer
Only like?
Glad to see Rivers Cuomo giving principal skinner the chance to interview him
9 months later im dying lol
Rivers is the cutest 48-year-old man
Can’t believe this guy almost 50 years old! He hasn’t aged a single day!
Hes looking fitter, happier, and more productive
ayyy
"my creativity was drying out" *makes teal album*
lurERsaC I mean.... it’s just covers so......
It’s literally all covers of 80s songs
Yeah and it was god tier.
Creativity isn't always writing your own songs. If you listen, you can hear so much Weezer in there it's not even a cover.
I've always had this problem where I hear music in my head, but when I go to sing or transcribe it the music disappears. I was at the point that music was not fun anymore, it just caused stress and disappointment. I rarely picked up a guitar. I stumbled on this video because of a deep love for Rivers and =w=. I thought that it meditation could help in some areas of my life, not even considering it would help with songwriting. I meditated for 15 minutes before bed on Friday, and for 5 minutes of Saturday. Sunday I heard a song in my head like I normally do, but I never lost it. I have it recorded, and I cannot stop the lyrics from flowing. I'm not saying the problem is 100% solved, but at least there is hope. Thanks Dan and Rivers.
Great interview..... finally a host that lets his guests speak. Another thing I enjoyed was that he did NOT make the interview about himself like howard stern does. 👍
YOU'RE JOKING RIGHT?? Host kept on makin it about "his memories/experiences" THEN tried to blend River into topic conversation; listen close.
@@1badjesus Because that's how normal people have converstaion.
This is a great interview. So nice to see the undercurrent of sanity in both of these guys, and clearly due to meditation. As River stated, there's no need to be a buddhist when practicing meditation (especially vipassana mediation). It's more an art of living. Converting oneself from suffering to happiness.
Sounds like you've sat the course too.
Yeah agreed. The idea of suffering is part of core Buddhist teachings, but the benefits of meditation remain despite where they originate. And nobody seems to be judging. Be well!
this guy was so bummed to find out rivers wasnt a buddhist
feels like he is a huge Weezer fan and really wanted his idol to be part of something he's into lol
@@chimpobox they are both into the same thing... mindfulness/vipassana.
I've often suffered from anxiety, and drugs or alcohol seem like not the answer. Meditation may be a start. I'm not looking to make a hit record.
Hey You 96 try listening to some of Alan Watts if you haven't already
nature and genuine friendships toooooo
Prayer
Hey You 96, you really should really consider meditation. Even just the breathing exercises just make you so much more calmer, because more oxygen is getting into your brain and system. Many reasons why, but for me, life is too fast for our human mind that was based on an agricultural system, and meditation simply helps slow down and regulate your mind. Could never figure out why people lived in small poor communities around the world seemed so much happier than your average North American. Now I know why.
Vipassana is working great for me. I used to have panic attacks and was bad at socializing. Now I am equanimous in all sorts of situations.
Rivers Cuomo is the meaning of being a good boy. I love you, Rivers.
Nice interview. I really like Rivers Cuomo. He is a good roll model. I'm a fan of him and his music.
Doesn't it seem like all of Weezer is made up of regular guys who don't take themselves too seriously? They appear to be good dudes. I was saddened to find out that Pat lost his wife to cancer. I prayed for him.
29:56
i accidently paused the video here without noticing and thought Rivers was just taking ages to think of a response
that happens to me a lot with the videos and shows I watch but it usually buffers and I don't notice
I got uncomfortable watching that. but the fact that I do the same thing, I shouldn’t be speaking.
This is how you do a good interview. In almost every interview with Rivers he always seems extremely uncomfortable and that he wants to leave. The interviewer knows how to read a room and fit the tone of the person he’s interviewing.
this is probably the best rivers cuomo interview ever
It's great! I know this comment is from a year ago, but a few months ago Conan got Rivers on their podcast and it's also one of the best Rivers interviews. Long and recent.
I straight up fell asleep listening to this. Rivers’ voice is so nice and soothing it ain’t even funny
37:50 best response ever!
Now I want to join tinder, and start meditating... couldn’t love Rivers more.
Very down to earth.
Weezer music is my meditation 💓
River is the quiet highschool boyfriend who plays you rifflines if you give him hugs. Change my mind
Oh this is Rivers' house?!
I assumed it was a studio set.
I love his speaking voice
Same here
After the interviewer pointed out that Rivers was the “distasteful” image he was describing, Rivers reaction at 39:44 was so cute oml
I was coloring in this adult coloring book to calm me down while I was listening to this, and it was very insightful. I love seeing how my favorite musicians actually create their work.
I've listened to this particular episode more than twice now, and so happy to learn there's video!
Well he’s adorable, and I absolutely love the Black album
-His voice is so soothing ahhhhhhhh-
Okay I have never heard his voice and why is it so peaceful?
Rivers is so cool
I remember watching TV at the actual moment Dan Harris had that panic attack. I was having them all the time at that point in my life. Good to see he handled it well. For people who don’t have them, it’s like you are suddenly and without warning placed before a firing squad who are raising their rifles. Not fun. Meditation does help though.
BomChickyBowWow have you researched mineral deficiency
Mercola Wallach Clive de carle Dr Bergman on everything many others
I really enjoy his voice. Nice to hear him talk
"I have everything you ever made and I love all of it"
Red, Raditutde and Hurley even?
Robert Pond Red is a good album
Hurley has some okay songs aswell, Red isn't that bad. raditude is a fucking garbage fire
Reds concept is awesome only a couple of songs drag it down Hurley even though it doesn't have a concept I think is really good raditude well raditude is raditude
Red is okay, but Hurley is a really good album. People just hate it because it doesn't sound like they rock out from '94 -_-
I find raditude to be better if you replace the mixes of can't stop partying and love is the answer with the Coconut Teaser mix for CSP and the Laid back mix for LITA. They make the album feel more coherent and not ao disjointed. Because the album has some really good stuff on there, it just gets drowned in the poppiness and label intervention of a few songs
I just absolutely loved this video! Such an inspiration for me to meditate daily 2 hours! Thanks for sharing this💓
Really great! I've never seen Dan Harris before but he seemed like a very nice guy and you can tell he's a real Weezer fan. Good stuff!
yep sounds like his singing voice.
i would love for dan harris to do another interview with rivers. i really enjoyed listening to this
he's my idol.
Rivers is actually very shy in real life
Damn brendon urie wasn't kidding about his voice in the interview😕
His voice is so low and relaxing
Can relate😂my mom makes me speak up all time but thats actually how low i speak...
Imagine how chill his hippie meditating parents were. Good God - my dad was yelling psychopath. I wish I had parents like that. I wish rivers was my dad. I wish he was my friend.
Does Rivers remind anyone of a younger Dana Carvey?
Van PastorMan reminds me of Kurt Cobain
Yeah, he kind of reminds me of Kurt Cobain.
People are often reminded of Kurt by Rivers solely because of the glasses, which Kurt wore in a number of interviews and pictures mainly throughout 1992.
@van pastorman thanks alot now i cant unsee rivers as dana :)
@@nitaigauranga3849 Idk man… kinda reminds me more of Buddy Holly.
this is such a great interview !
nice intervieuw! 20 years ago i heard my first weezer song..and still listening. like their music...a lot!!!
I love him.
Worth watching, refreshed. I am also an old student of same tradition.
Much metta and be happy
I love this man
If you had told the 1994 me that I'd be talking to Rivers Cuomo, I'd have said, "Who the fuck is Rivers Cuomo?"
He's so cute! I saw Wezzer a few years ago and they were amazing!!!
You're pretty good as well😅
learning so much from this interview 💕
That interviewer would make me so uncomfortable. I can’t do eye contact lol
Going to the HELLAMEGA TOUR in Ireland next year. Wooooo
Yeah next year! Hahaha
I wish i can be like him
Same.
damn he is so adorable
Rivers is the man
maladroit is UNDERRATED > good point
Very interesting , nice to see this side of Rivers. Inspiring and would love to give some meditation a go.. happy to hear your wanting to make music for a while longer, enjoying the new black album cheers!
Omg can he be more perfect? I can connect with him in all levels ;)
He kinda looks like Patrick Stump here.
8:23 I thought he said "who learned how to meditate from a Monkey in Burma" XD
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I can’t figure out what he actually said omg that is so funny
I can see how some attribute the genesis of emo to Pinkerton, but I just don’t agree so much with that. Diary by Sunny Day Real Estate is arguably one of the first “emo” albums to be released despite it simply being alternative rock music, just like Weezer’s second record. Even more so, the band Rites of Spring is credited with pioneering the original emo sound back in the ‘70s.
It's because emo is in "waves." Some say Pinkerton was the start of inspiration for the 2nd wave, exclusively.
“Rivers, please mention Kurt, and that your his/and his your idol, again!..
Woah sideburns
I think I watch this every year
"most of our records get bad reviews"
Maladroit is actually possibly my favorite album... It's when I discovered Weezer in Junior High school. Thanks Rivers for the inspiration.
Amazing interview.
Amazing interview!!
Anyone else click on this video to hear Cuomo's real voice and admire his dashing sideburns
Rivers ❤️
Makes you feel better
“... so you can get MORE from ... uh ... subtler disturbances.” ~RC
Yeah. I’d buy a pencil from his cup. Maybe half a dozen. What a brilliant observation. If this shit can yield clarity like that? Hell, lemme pull up a chair. 🎟✌️
pork and beans but still he cared
Interesting interview with Rivers.
Mr. Cuomo is a white geek and I'm a brown geek.
He sounds like a chill ass kelso
His life as a rockstar has obviously affected him and his relationships. He even said he wouldn't even know if he'd be able to stay in a relationship cause he would be dissatisfied. Its obvious he has had a lot of relationships in his life. Gotta be careful when surrounded by lust cause you might end up ruining your chances to develop a real relationship
He looks like a younger Tom Kenny
Rivers sits weird. Looks very uncomfortable lol
He looks exactly like he looked in 1995.
Love Weezer
Strange he feels the Green album was a flop, for me (and I still buy every album including today's Teal album), I still think that was their best.
Ur objectively wrong
Yeah you’re horribly wrong. Awful album.
Their best? Wow. I dont hate album by any means but there is no way it's the best.
So Hash Pipe, Crab, Photograph, Island in the Sun, these are all awful? All top songs to my mind.
@@stanleyknif They aren't awful but they're quite generic and boring compared to Blue and Pinkerton, even compared to Maladroit. Green is a good album but Blue is what green desperately wants to be, and pinkerton just overall sounds better due to its more advanced instrumentation
“Let me correct you, I do not have a crazy schedule.”😝👍😎
watching this interview is very meditating to me..
Love Rivers
Fascinating. Really.
