fuck...I love rivers strangely exaggerated confidence during the red album era, I think it's because of the mustache. It can do that to people. Now he is without a satche, and he is back to his normal self. the power of the mustache temporarily altered him.
If you even have kids that can understand the difference, good for you *Edit: I don't recall making this comment whatsoever, and definitely not 1 month ago like it says.
Strange, goofy, awkward........ yet this is one of the band's best songs. I don't care what anyone says, amongst all the crap they put out in these later years, they made a god damn anthem.
Genuinely the best live petformance of a song ever. The high five at the end with the confused woman is the best. Couldn't have cared less about this award show but I'd just walked in my house after getting off a plane and turned on the TV just in time to see this.

Rivers is the most underrated singer song writer of his time. Pinkerton proved it, weezse are one the one of the most important bands of their time and of the past 40 years. (Period) x
ed porloto are you really that ignorant to call this "weezer's bohemian rhapsody"? is a rock opera, the who did it way before queen, a quick one while he's away
This is a weezer song that slipped under my radar. I heard it for the first time at the amazing show they did with the Flaming Lips at Jones Beach. It was the highlight of the show for me. It's one of those songs that doesn't know when to end without being annoying.
This song is risk taking at it's finest, an homage perhaps, but a classic in it's own right. It might not go down as one of the "greatest" Weezer songs but it certainly presents a good argument for why Weezer will go down as the greatest and longest lasting bands of this generation.
i revisit this video every few years, and it gets better each time. kudos to the sound mixers that night, able to capture the vocals of each member perfectly
They were going to, and actually reunited with Spike Jonze to direct it, but the label wouldn’t let them because the single didn’t perform as well as P&B and Troublemaker
I have been listening to this song for years but I have never seen this until today. This is one of my favorite "car ride" songs because I really get into it. Like crazy get into it as if it's some theatrical performance. When I saw the way Rivers performed this, I totally got it. It's a goofy fun song with multiple speeds. How can one not react in such a way?!
Have loved this song. The song and rhetorical spirituality of the song (the variations on the shaker hymn) take on a new perspective after being able to see a video of his biological father performing a Christian sermon. It almost appears he feigns his father's mannerisms in the performance.

very accurate. red album era rivers was doin drugs i think, based on "can't stop partying". really interesting era of weezer tho.
the stache is back boys
This comment section is making me crease
He has the stache again, y'hear?
Yeah
I love seeing a 41 year old man with a mustache rapping
Brandon Brown I read that as something else lol
Arlo KILpatrick it really makes sense both ways
Rivers Cuomo
So kanye in 2019
He wasn't 41 then, no way
Yes, Rivers is weird as shit in this video. But whatever he has to do to sound that good is fine by me. Incredible.
Understatement of the century....
Rivers is the greatest man that ever lived because that weirdness is his PERSONA in the band. And he's amazing for doing such a great job at it.
High fiving that choir lady like he's the Greatest man that ever lived
Im gonna tell my kids this was bohemian rhapsody
LMAO😂😂😂
Same
If you even have kids that can understand the difference, good for you

Parenting 101...always change the narritive
Anytime I feel I need a confidence booster I just manifest 2008 Rivers
I'm going to do this from now on, thanks
3 instruments, perfect back vocals... Brian, you are THE MAN.
I don't know what Rivers is on but I want some.
torkahn808 "I gotta get me some"
mustache
He's on meditation, he's been doing it for years
1:18 I can't believe how beautifully River sings this part. It's not "almost perfect", it's literally perfect. Gosh...
eargasm
Cuz it's pre-recorded.... This is not live
@@noahwolfe5300 are u kidding, this is live
@@nclsrfn It's a live recording, but they're not performing it live. Pay attention and you'll see
@@noahwolfe5300 wdym? It’s a live performance

Preach it my dude
100%
Since the first time i heard this song i always thought of it as an anthem, its one of those songs that strums something in the spirit
this is basically their bohemian rhapsody
Amen brother
I love Weezer and I love this song and it was done wonderfully live BUT Rivers just seems so awkward without his guitar on stage.
True, but I actually love that about him. He's embracing bring a rock star but it's so goofy looking. I wouldn't want it any other way.
It just reminds me of what would happen if Tommy Pickles were trapped in a grown man's body.

underrated comment
masterpiece
This! Made the title of the song more sense to me.
who the hell are the weezers???
thanks bro
Rivers is the most underrated singer song writer of his time. Pinkerton proved it, weezse are one the one of the most important bands of their time and of the past 40 years. (Period) x
Sometimes I watch this just to see Brian do the Nirvana section *smitten*
+Matt Good Maattt! I love your Weezer covers
+Michael Cera Fans I like Michael Cera tooo!! Bit cheeky, but you seen my cover of this song? Thanks for checking out my stuff :)
Yeah, I have! And yes, Michael Cera is amazing! Fun fact: His favorite album is Pinkerton!
Thanks :) I knew Weezer were a favourite of his, certainly.
+Matt Good I pulled off my left headphone so that I got no Scott, just Brian. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
God his voice
Rivers looked creepy walking around like that lol
Rivers looking like a human teapot
Oh yeah definetly weezers bohemian rhapsody
so weird i was thinking the SAME THING.
ed porloto are you really that ignorant to call this "weezer's bohemian rhapsody"? is a rock opera, the who did it way before queen, a quick one while he's away
+Cali shake they didn't say it was as good as Queen's or Who's, they just said it's Weezer's Bohemian Rhapsody. Sort of like every band has an anthem.
except it sucks
Jamieson Dean I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm
Took me a long time to appreciate this. One day i just wanted to listen weezer doing something different, and, here it is.
This is a weezer song that slipped under my radar. I heard it for the first time at the amazing show they did with the Flaming Lips at Jones Beach. It was the highlight of the show for me. It's one of those songs that doesn't know when to end without being annoying.
Weezer can seriously pull off anything they want and do it perfectly. Seriously these guys can play anything and sound great.
I can't stop partying
Ginormously underrated!
@@steve_bal4 The acoustic version of it is great. Emotive and sad.
@@workingtitle7049 that song is fire.
@@simonharwood8488 all versions are good
This song is risk taking at it's finest, an homage perhaps, but a classic in it's own right. It might not go down as one of the "greatest" Weezer songs but it certainly presents a good argument for why Weezer will go down as the greatest and longest lasting bands of this generation.
Yep. Weezer absolutely belongs in the conversation for best bands of this generation. They should be in the Rock and Roll HOF eventually.
This is incredible, but also so funny. Brian is an incredible vocalist.
I love how the credits roll over the end of the song.
the fact that this is at the game awards just makes it 10x better
i revisit this video every few years, and it gets better each time. kudos to the sound mixers that night, able to capture the vocals of each member perfectly

I just finished my Bachelor thesis.
This feels SO good right now!
Good for you man

@@tyde4610 yea
@@PeeboGlimp nice i follow you
Rivers drumming along to Pat gives me life
I love when he slips into Blue era vocals at 3:03
RIVERS RAP!!!
I thought I would never hears Rivers say what he did at 4:07
At 1:18 Rivers hits the notes better than the actual release. TBH he kills it the entire time sheeesh.
this performance was so polished and perfect. I personally think that this version should have been on the album instead of the studio version
Something so great about a chorus of women singing that they're all the greatest man that ever lived
This is probably the best version of the vocals for this song.
Imagine writing this song. Releasing it as a single. Then not making a video for it. What gives?
There is a video, tho it's not very good at all
@@inkoinfinity2 what did you just say,
@@Pablo-dh7di I was mistaken
@@inkoinfinity2 better
They were going to, and actually reunited with Spike Jonze to direct it, but the label wouldn’t let them because the single didn’t perform as well as P&B and Troublemaker
this is my favorite weezer song that's not a single!
This is chaotic good
Rivers looks like he doesn't know what to do without his guitar. It always sounds better when he plays
Rivers Cuomo is such an interesting specimen of a human being. Nothing about him can be interpreted as boring.
4:07 anyone who watched the rock critic’s review came for this moment.
Ya got me lol
That's why I'm here too.
ASLB247 yep XD
His Falsetto Oh God Is His Falsetto Beautiful
This is one of the most absolute baddass performances I've seen.
Some how I feel this song is a tribute to Freddie Mercury. Maybe Jesus?
Yeah, I always thought the same thing, there's gotta be some connection to Freddie.

fantastic performance !!!!!!!!!! goose bumps
absolutely love how scott has to help rivers in the rap section. matt could never
Saw weezer last night at Jakarta! Definitely the greatest concert I've ever been to!
gw telat lahir :'|
Greatest Weezer performance of all time possibly. Great song and rivers rarely seen without a guitar! 😮 ❤❤❤❤
What a fucking performance. like it's the spike video game awards 😂 yall didn't have to bless us this hard

At some points they sound like Pinkerton era weezer
i dont see it in this song, but they sorta have a Pinkerton tone is certain songs of The White Album
When Brian is belting out in the Nirvana section of the song, it kinda sounds like pinkerton
what white album song sounds like pinkerton?
@@user-mh5gm4uv4s do you wanna get high? sounds straight from pinkerton. the feedback, falsetto backing vocals, and the crunchy guitars.
Thank you, my favorite version of this song. I watched it when it originally aired. Love watching whenever I wants. XO
Man this sounds great for a live concert... He's definitely not lip singing cuz at the beginning you can tell his voice somewhat faded when he moved the mic away from his mouth
I think I might be beginning to unironically like the red album
4:05
OMG they even do the choir Aaahhh part at the end😍😍😍😂😂😂😂
Frickin Burt Reynolds and his choir band
This should have over a million views by now. What a shame..
2:30 I love Brian
He really is The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.
Scott is just perfect here
4:56 Rivers high fives the choral singer! lmao
This is a FREAKING MASTERPIECE.
wow! best performance of this song EVER!!
In a way its like QUEEN-bohemian rhapsody
Felipe Ramirez Its cause its so many different types of music jammed into one its awesome!
ElezyerArts it is an awesome song
Felipe Ramirez the mustache is the same xD
Felipe Ramirez Good call Garth, good call!
+Felipe Ramirez HHAHHAHAHAHA!
no. smashing a bunch of styles randomly together doesn't get you Bo-rap. Bo-rap is amazing because it's sincere in what it does, and it follows a logical progression. This is disjointed non-sense
My God! This was amazing!
Incredible song and performance
2:32 When the set 8 kid in the class starts headbanging
The song's chorus sums quite well up what the 'stache is saying through the whole video!
if rivers did this today he would be accused of mocking people with disability
One of the greatest T.V performances Like EVER . . . Totally Love Weezer
I remember seeing this happen live. Crazy.
4:08 I'm on the floor laughing my ass off
loroporoto why did he say it like that HA
that raised the hairs on back of my neck
Gracias por tanto Alex. tqm mi niño.
The piano solo! AHHH
Holy shit that was one of the most amazing things ever
amazing performance!
This is still legendary
uhhhh.... that was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Perfection!
Favorite song of ALL TIME!!! Where's the music video!
are you sure it's Rivers and not Jim Carey?
That high five was amazing
this should have 1 billion views
The crowd looks way too calm and quiet for a song of this much energy D:
2:33 I love Rivers, lol
Scott Shriner really wanted to be the lead singer for a second there
That choir is badass
Weezer's Bohemian Rhapsody
love weezer forever!
Amazing live
That was a ride
When i first saw this i was like what the hell? But now i love it.
