This is actually amazing. I love O Girlfriend as is and this just makes it even better. I really wish the bridges in Green songs had unique melodies instead of just being the vocal line :(
you know what would be cool? a proper studio version of Pacific sunset. its one of weezer's best demos and although it got used in run raven run i think it still isn't pacific sunset.
When I first heard this song back in 2001 I thought it was in the style of Pinkerton. Remember that by 2001, Weezer knew that Pinkerton had a cult following by then. It is sort of a reminder that they are capable of that style, but not going to dedicate an album theme to it. The Pinkerton style did live on in tracks in further albums, much like in "O Girlfriend"
So do you re-record all of the music yourself and just place in the vocal? Just curious since people use AI for stuff I was wondering whether or not you actually recorded it. Very nice either way.
@@razrentals8897 thanks! The vocals are mostly original. I used pitch correction to alter melodies or create harmonies. Occasional AI is used for backing vocals. I do all the instrumentals myself.
@@clarkegregory954 I've had a lot of requests for tabs, but I don't have a lot of time for it. I think Logic can export traditional sheet music if that helps?
O girlfriend is genuinely such a good song I always find my self talking about it allot.
clicked faster than i could type pinkerton in the search box
average pinkerton fan’s account
@@weezerbutfreaky i feel attacked-
This just needs Pinkerton-style vocals and it will be great
Green meets Pinkerton? More like, my finger meets like button 👍🏻
@@srwordsussecuaces6374 lol
Green is so underrated... "O Girlfriend" is so beautiful... Masterpiece
I totally agree!! Like o girlfriend is one of my favorite songs ever the green album is so good 😢
Perfect situation is a must have
Always thought Perfect Situation was written in a similar style to Pinkerton
i like how you kept the motif in the green album where all the solos were just the vocal melodies. Very transformative!
There's a few live versions where Rivers absolutely rips that guitar solo.
@@HenryNooney the version from Canada is the best one, not a great recording quality though.
2:01 - 2:36 was absolutely phenomenal. Fantastic job!

ive been dreaming of something like this ever since i heard the last toronto performance of this song from 22 years ago
i listen to that specific version more than i do the original
@@cosmicthrillseekers I only heard that version recently because someone recommended it to me (possibly you?). Hope I got it right!
Link?

This song means a lot to me and so does Pinkerton. Thank you. I still miss her.
I was waiting for the meter change and guitar freakouts. Was not disappointed
O girlfriend is the most Pinkerton song on Green tbh, this is a perfect fit. The way this version sounds takes my mind to The Rentals tho.
holy moly this is awesome
Yeah man, i really think i've got one here
@@gordoalcuadrado1338 yeah but now just what am i supposed to do
@@NoobSims16 sure! I was thinking the same, you know, i have a number of irrational fears that (and call me crazy) i want to share with you
i love this so so much
me too it's awesome hahaha i love wheezer
Love love love that guitar solo and transition back to the vocals!
What a surprise that the one song with personal lyrics is the best track on the record with no personal lyrics
everytime i listen to one of your arrangements, at some point i forget that its not just actually weezer - incredible work as per usual 😭😭😭
Really liked your section out of the solo and then into the slow down part. Very cool.
i’ve BEEN waiting for this
absolutely beautiful
you know what would be cool? a proper studio version of Pacific sunset. its one of weezer's best demos and although it got used in run raven run i think it still isn't pacific sunset.
You should check out Granola’s version. I think that’s pretty much how it would’ve sounded had it been on the white album.
so beautiful i feel like i am going to cry
This is just great, the perfect mix of sticking to O Girlfriend as it is but also adding just the right amount of that sweet sweet Pinkerton sound
2:05 Weezer riff intensifies
❤❤❤ Beautiful ❤❤❤
I am so happy that you made this, I love O Girlfriend

This sounds sick! Would love a haunt you every day version with more inspiration from the demo but still some elements of the studio version!
can’t wait
u cooked as always
keep up the amazing work :3
would love to see this with Smile. My favorite Green song that i feel lacks a little.... oomf.
this is sickkkk esp that last bit
such wizardry
This just perfect.
always amazin! luv it
Wow. this is SOOOO good
Amazing

Okay, @turkeyisawesome.

YEAHHHHH PEAK!!!!
It's soooooo gooooddd
🔥🔥🔥
2:14 OO WEE OO
Always thought this had Pinkerton energy
Yo what the fr*p this is awesomenessauce
This rules. Would love to hear your Pinkerton take on hash pipe
@@83645 that should be a tough one! The original is really cool the way it is and pretty unique. Maybe one day 🤔
this has GOTTA sound good!!! :))
PINKERTON DETECTIVE AGENCY
La girlz would be sick
Can you do a Pinkerton version of Pinkerton?
sounds better tha the original honestly. Keep making these I love it
This is sick, what software did you use for drums? I’m trying to make Weezered 2 (Weezerification) next year haha.
EZ Drummer 3, with a limiter cranked on the room mics. What is Weezered 2? I'll check it out!
we need buddy holly styled in pinkerton
Was that Buddy holly in the solo?
DO BEVERLY HILLS, PORK AND BEANS, AND PERFECT SITUATION PLS

MORE PINKERTON STYLE RECORDINGS LET'S GOOO
Do you have an upload schedule? I’d like to know when I should get excited for this stuff.
@@PlanetWeezer around once a month, hopefully! Alternating between studio songs and obscure demos
@@AlmostWeezer Ok thanks!!!
You should do you wanna be from the black room
What drum VST are you using on this? Ive been trying to get a pinkerton-ish drum tone.
@@ryfkiherdi EZ Drummer 3. I experimented with different snares and kicks to get something similar to Pinkerton and compressed the room mics hard
@@AlmostWeezer Your sound from the guitars to the drums to the mix is absolutely incredible. Well done!
was that the lick at like 2:14
@@lenajk2004 the buddy holiday lead? I honestly wasn't thinking that when I recorded it but it does sort of sound like it.
@@AlmostWeezer as bob ross once said, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
Weekend woman would be amazing in this style, such a deep song held back by being poppy
yes please do weekend woman, the weekend girl demo is so good
Weekend Woman is a perfect song.
Would you ever post a tab of this anywhere? I would learn this in a heartbeat
@@clarkegregory954 I've had a lot of requests for tabs, but I don't have a lot of time for it. I think Logic can export traditional sheet music if that helps?
@@AlmostWeezer Gotcha
Does the strat in the image not have a bridge pickup what the hell am I looking at.
@@kkarhiiv95 not a real Weezer recording, not a real strat. Pretty straightforward
Other weezer songs that would benefit from the Pinkerton treatment:
Cheistmas song
Haunt you every day

Where's my sex?
