I was fortunate enough to meet Rivers at USC in 2004 when he was supporting his bro Patrick Wilson at his side band's (The Special Goodness) show where my band at the time (Up Syndrome) opened for them. Rivers came up to me wearing a grey hoodie (hood up) and reminded ne a lot of Kurt Cobain. I had no idea there was some kind of conspiracy about the two, but anyway, he said he loved me and I said "thank you!" and walked away with my then girlfriend. Seconds later, I turned around and shouted "Rivers?!" He said "yeah" and I said "I love you too!" Definitely a humble spirit. I'd love to be his friend, but I'm thankful to have had at least that experience. I'll always love you, Rivers Cuomo!
True, but he was already in his late thirties by then. I’m 40 and I don’t think I would have been taking advantage of that had I been in his shoes, not at that age.
@@crispwhite9068 It's just the vibe he gives off. Watch Mulholland Drive you'll probably get what they mean. Blue Velvet is also great and so is Eraserhead if you like some weird shit
I admit when this song came out in 2005, I was 14 and had barely dipped my toes into 90s bands so I had no clue who Weezer was and what's worse is I thought Beverly Hills was their first hit. Shows how much I knew back then.

I discovered Weezer through memes (I'm young don't shoot me) but the more I dug about the more of a fan I became of their music and origin story. Rivers is an icon and I am a fan of him personally for everything he accomplished.
Same for me, too. I was 11 when I first listened to Beverly Hills, but the memes got me into learning more about the band and now Pinkerton is my favorite album of all time.
I remember when I went to UCONN in the 80s, there were a few kids who would walk around on campus sometimes, just talking. One of them really stuck with me, he was a skinny guy who walked hunched, in a shy manner. Turns out, that was Rivers Cuomo.
This is such a random comment. It's midnight and I'm strumming my guitar as I write this, but I have to say, Rivers Cuomo is my hero. I named my new guitar (PRS) 'Ace' after him. He inspired me to not only make music, but he taught me to enjoy it. You're the man, Rivers.
i love weezer and rivers. i love how he's such a rock star on stage, yet he's so nerdy, shy and awkward in person. makes him that much more attractive! all the best of luck to his wife and their kid. she is one very lucky girl! (:
This is a perfect situation for him, i mean there is no one else that could pull this off. He could live on an island in the sun, and live the good life across the sea, but instead he chooses to study here, and even be celibate! Guess he is tired of sex.
Ah yes, 2006, before the internet became as crazy as it is and celebrities could live just a bit more peacefully among us regulars. Those students were so lucky!
i wish i could meet him. I just discovered weezer and idk, i feel like i can relate to him... he seems so humble that maybe he will actually be grateful when i tell him how amazing he is...
I love rivers. That's why I love music. Music describes us, here he is a very shy and (somewhat lonely guy) and i think we could all relate to that. It lets us express ourselves & be who we want to be.:)
James Franco will be attending the same university as I am and even though he seems cool, I'd be so excited if there was a chance of bumping into Rivers....in my dorm! He's seems so sweet. I also saw Weezer perform recently and Rivers is so adorably awkward but quite silly on stage. They are still great live and played so many of their old goodies.
My personal opinion (not at all objective): Blue>Pinkerton>Maladroit>Green>Make Believe>Hurley>Red>>>>>>>>>>Raditude I'll have to wait a while to fit EWBAITE in there somewhere.
If you get accepted and can't afford to attend Harvard (as well as the other top Ivies, like Yale and, more than the others, Princeton) will generally pay as much as is needed.
Seems like a cool guy, and message never given up no matter how old you are, while following your dreams. ♥️ I have been in and out of school many times like him. I know how he feels.
I went to see Weezer in San Diego when they opened for No Doubt. As soon as Weezer finished , we left out to the tour busses. Never mind No Doubt. I didn't get to meet Rivers. But I got autograpghs from Brian and Pat. Ohh.. AndPetey X from Rocket from the Crypt was back there too!
I think maybe he meant as in before his vow of celibacy. During his period at Harvard, Rivers did have some sexual tendencies, and he wrote them down in Pinkerton

it's top 5 worst weezer songs, and it's still better than a lot of whole pop albums

pike ffs all the songs on blue album and pinkerton are there top 20 songs

That's Dan Harris doing the voiceover work. Years later he interviewed Rivers about mindfulness and meditation for ABC. Very much worth a watch!
Pinkerton is the shit. 12 years of total love for it. So underrated
I like River's I think it's never too late to learn and graduate even if you're a vocalist in a band

"Who's your dorm roommate, son?"
"Oh, it's just Rivers Cuomo."
Rivers is the definition of a legend.
What is the awkwardest body of water? Rivers. Rivers Cuomo.
What a strange interview.
Beverly Hills - probably the worst possible representation of Weezer music lol
the way he talks reminds me of Garth from Wayne's World
Perfect situation. Not sure if video version or album be there.

Very cool, wish it was the whole segment.
Im not gay but rivers kinda be lookin cute here
My personal opinion (not at all objective): Blue>Pinkerton>Maladroit>Green>Make Believe>Hurley>Red>>>>>>>>>>Raditude
I'll have to wait a while to fit EWBAITE in there somewhere.
If it wasn't for If You're Wondering If I Want You To, Raditude would be in my top ten worst albums ever.
so were do you put ewbaite
Maladroit is definitely top 3, good choice! I think Make Believe, especially the second half, is just awful though. A fraction ahead of Rad.
tommykl EWBAITE ranks low, for sure.
but EWBAITE is really fucking good
HE'S SO AWKWARD
WE ARE PERFECT
Did you know he has a net worth of $30 MILLION?!
Eric Bryan not really surprised he does, he’s pretty famous
Doesn't really matter lol. Anyone can hit it big these days. 30 million is a good amount, but far greater wealth exists.
If you get accepted and can't afford to attend Harvard (as well as the other top Ivies, like Yale and, more than the others, Princeton) will generally pay as much as is needed.

does anyone know where to find the rest of this?!
I can't believe he went to Harvard, my city is around the corner from it. He's awesome ^_^
"Hurley" is actually really good. Red, Raditude, Make Believe are all so-so.

“I’m old” - finishes glass of milk
I'm so crazy for him, it hurts!
1:43, I believe he's playing the "superfriend" reprise from songs from the black hole
I laughed out loud at the end. What a guy!
the transition between make believe and red
why does this feel like an interview by the onion
What does the woman say at the very end when he is asked about his vow of celibacy?
Pink Triangle, Mikel and Carli, Susanne, and more.
How is this not the basis for a cbs sitcom?
Rivers, Congratulations on finishing your degree..!! Hope to see you at Boston Calling next month..!!

“Trading pop hooks for books” nice
@senorjiveturkey Perfect Situation that's my favorite Weezer music vid ;D
Well you said "I'd go to Harvard if I had the money."
but it doesn't really have much to do with money.
"That is no average song"
Continues to play Beverly Hills.
Really cool man. lol i wonder how many "college flings" he had. cant be a rockstar at a campus without getting intimate with the ladies
Preston Shealy i know this is old, but do you know what celibacy means??

There's people who don't need even bother making a vow it just comes naturally.
Might be, just seemed short to me. Liked it anyways.
