Wait, Weezer had to change Hash to Half right after a band called OPM played "Heaven is a Halfpipe" which is all about being a stoner and doing drugs. Makes sense.
This was like one of the last shows Mikey played before his mental health got out of whack. He was struggling bad even then. Then 10 years later he was found dead. Shits crazy
In regards to the comments about the "half pipe" stuff: its really all about censorship, even in the US. When this song came out it was constantly edited and the word "hash" was edited or bleeped out bc of the obvious drug references. any-who...yeah! great performance. Look at mikey welsh! he was so unbelievably sexy.
Why does it matter if he says hash instead of half? Censorship is absolutely pointless! It’s just a word at the end of the day nobody is going to die! We need to stop all this bollocks! Music should be left alone!
So true!! Plus it’s just drugs. If the public actually thinks that drugs mentioned in songs will influence somebody then they are out of their minds. I wish they could leave this song alone :/
THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE SONG OF THE RADIO , I WONDER IF WEEZER WERE REALLY PERFORMING THIS SONG LIVE? :) OR DO TOP OF THE POPS ONLY ALLOW BANDS TO PRETEND PLAY
I prefer the hard shit. Only cuz I got pushed in and had to learn that way. By hard that doesn’t mean literal. So don’t fuckin kick me. Kik me. That probably ain’t me tho. I’ll put money on it. I probably already did so I can’t. Call me. And deduce what you will with the drug shit. I think i started on coke. Call him. Her. Me. You know who to call. Burnt. Don’t worry. It will hurt so much better than that. It’s not good.

"Let's change 'hash' to 'half', this will OBVIOUSLY keep the little childrem away from drugs and Satan".
R.I.P mikey 🎸

I reallllly miss Mikey. They had so much energy during this time. Then it all disappeared and never look interested in playing anymore.
this performance was recorded shortly before he left the band
Pretend but the vocals are real. You should give nirvana a look when they were on top of the pops, funny.
drums are real, guitars and bass is an instrumental
Nah, the drums are 100% fake too. they sound exactly like the studio recording
R.I.P Mikey Welsh :(
RIP Mikey

Half pipe. Love it, considering it's "half" real. The lyrics are real, but you can definitely tell that they are not playing their instruments.
I knew that something was off. You could tell that there was an instrumental backing track, especially when Brian plays lmaoo
That's how things roll on this phony show.
Uh welcome to "most televised music performances since tv was invented"
@@madiqs7615 That's just how TOTP is lmao
First second and I already knew it wasn't real this is so obviously the album instrumental lol
Clearly not "eyes wide" in this version.
RIGHT?!?? I was looking for a comment that mentioned this but everyone's talking about the backing track 💀 I've got bigger fish to fry lmao
I live my 5 pixel pookies 🥰
You could definitely tell there was an instrumental backing track LMAO
I was thinking the same thing. Like, why is this live mix so full lmao
The guitars sound so layered.
That’s what this show, Top of the Pops, made the bands do. Mocked instruments, live vocals.
Brilliant ,Class !

The lyrics were nonsensical anyway lol. I think of "half-pipe" as in the ramps used in skateboarding/BMX/etc. so it doesn't completely ruin the song
"Half Pipe" ?
brian doesnt give a shit lol he just wants a paycheck
Fuck yeah

In the 80s you had to lip sync, not sure about the early 2000s.
Flying To Learn the vocals were real but the instruments no.
Sometimes the vocals were live and sometimes both the vocals and instruments were live.
You obviously didn't pay attention to anything written anywhere did you?
the leading vocals are live. the backing vocals and instruments aren't.
HALF PIPE!!???!!! Top of the Pops fail. But great performance of HASH Pipe. ;)
they seem to be playing to a backing track :(
half pipe.... xD
🤘🏻.
@TheCactusBoi Yeah... F**king censorship...
hahahahha half pipe
This is way better when they play their instruments.
Half pipe✅
Hash pipe❌
how bout censoring all war and violence references but leaving the smoke curling up from the pipe, mouth, and free mind........
They made him sing "half pipe" but "got my ass wide" is still there. Jokes on pop radio for but learning what the song was about prior! Haha

Half Pipe 😂
Tfw not even Mikey can save your, also I can't fucking hear him, I can't hear his vocals or his bass, the fuck
Meme Thief you can't hear bass on most weezer songs
Its pretty easy to hear on blue and Pinkerton, and it's ok on green, not so much Maladroit onward, but EWBAITE had decent bass
Meme Thief its just the tone that Scott uses, he makes the bass sound like the guitars
Meme Thief but yeah Matt Sharp was easy to hear, and Mikey was alright
that explains it
