Speaker | Quote | Source | Date | MISC | Used |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rivers Cuomo | "I don't think what I do is original at all. It's more out of faithfulness to my adolescent dreams that I'm still doing this." | Rolling Stone article - November 3, 1994 | November 3, 1994 | No | |
Rivers Cuomo | "In our senior year, that close group of metal head friends I mentioned got together and said, “Lets play a sport, Dammit. It's been four years and we haven't done anything.” So we formed a lacrosse team. None of us had ever played lacrosse before, of course, so it was a disaster. We only got to play two games and they were against like junior varsity teams or whatever, and they killed us. It was really awful, but it was a lot of fun." | Guitar World interview with Rivers Cuomo - March 1995 | March 1995 | In response to the question "I gather you didn't play sports." | No |
Rivers Cuomo | I was still in school on May 10, when the record came out. I brought it to class and said, ”Look everybody.” They were all like, ”Yeah, cool, whatever.” I was at community college in Los Angeles. I'd finish up my two years and was going to transfer to U.C. Berkeley, but I got a record deal. | Guitar World interview with Rivers Cuomo - March 1995 | March 1995 | In response to question "In our last interview [Tune Ups Dec. 94] you said that you stayed in college right up until you recorded Weezer. | No |
Rivers Cuomo | "[The Blue Album] was mixed to sound best incredibly loud, where as most records [at the time were] meant to sound good at a low volume, like if you just hear them casually on the radio or something. Our record sounds like crap if you have it low." | Guitar World interview with Rivers Cuomo - March 1995 | March 1995 | In response to question "Were all your tracks recorded with one amp?" | No |
Matt Sharp | "One day nobody wants to hear you and then when you turn around you are on the radio and the clubs are jammed," Sharp said. "There is always something weird going on. We recently played Pittsburgh and the entire crowd started chanting 'Brian Bell! Brian Bell!' I can't understand our popularity, but I'm glad it's happening.' | The Plain Dealer interview with Matt Sharp - December 2, 1994 | December 2, 1994 | No | |
Pat Wilson | Well, when we were shopping our demo, it seemed like Geffen was the only people that were really, uh, interested in us, so we just went with them because we had no, like, indie rock pretensions, or like, y'know "no, we can't do that, we have to sign to Epitaph" or anything. So, after we recorded it, it took about six months for the record to come out so we were all just starving, so that was a terrible buildup for me. And they just put us on the road after that, | BBC Radio 1 interview with Patrick Wilson - July 1995 | July 1995 | No | |
Brian Bell and Emma Forrest | "Brian? Do you have any eyebrows?"
"No." "Why not?" "I shaved them off last night. I wanted to see what I would look like without them." |
The Independent interview with Brian Bell - March 3, 1995 | March 3, 1995 | No | |
Scott Shriner | "Yes, I saw them play at club Lingerie before they got signed. A friend of mine said, “There’s this band, they’re heavy and super melodic and super trippy and you have to go see them.” And I saw them and they were great. I barely remember what they look like, [but] they looked like nobody else at the time, that’s for sure. [At that time] I was all messed up in the funk-metal thing that was going on, like the Chili Peppers, Fishbone, In Living Color and 24-7 Spies, that was a big scene, and there was a big rap-rock scene too. I was not hooked up in the glam scene at that time. I’ve gone through a lot of different phases and it has ended up benefiting me in some way. Christ, in ’84 I was listening to Duran-Duran and Ultravox and I recovered from that." | Toledo City Paper interview with Scott Shriner - September 12, 2002 | September 12, 2002 | No | |
Karl Koch | "There was almost another easter egg, called "The Madness of Stoner" - it was footage I shot at our apartment (on Stoner Ave.) in 1991, even before Weezer. First I had to edit it down because Wilson was singing all these cover songs and we couldn't have that in there, which killed half the funny parts. Then the whole thing was axed for being just "too freaking weird". Which it definitely was, I guess. There was loud thigh slapping, ballet dancing, ice cream trucks, pseudo-mystical claptrap, mild nudity... " | FunkDiggityFresh.com interview with Karl Koch - June 14, 2004 | June 14, 2004 | In response to the question "Have a favorite band moment? Something that wasn't on the DVD? " | No |
Mikey Welsh | "I think that the artist (I'm only speaking for myself here), should be completely removed from the process. The only thing that matters to me is the work. It should always be powerful enough to speak or scream at people. The artist shouldn’t have to stand there at the opening, explaining things to people." | Rock Salt Plum Review interview with Mikey Welsh - Spring 2007 | Spring 2007 | In response to the question "We’ve spoken about your inclination to let your art speak for itself, as opposed to explaining the intention or concept behind it. You give each painting a provocative, ambiguous title and then stand back and allow people to extrapolate meaning for themselves. I like this noncomittal, noninterventionist stance. The more the art speaks for itself, the more possibilities it offers. It can mean many things to many people. Why did you take this approach? " | No |
Rivers Cuomo | "One day he said, 'You’ve got to meet my friend Winky Smiles.'
I went over to his apartment on Gordon and saw first thing as I entered a large grown man lying in a heaping pile of filth and garbage. He looked up. 'Hey Man.' It was Pat Wilson. 'Hey.'" |
Rivers Cuomo Myspace blog post - October 26, 2005 | October 26, 2005 | While recounting his history with Pat Finn | No |
Blantiss Fliangshemp | "I m n ethereal presence u cannot d nigh.
I live in your computer. I m an nerd. your songs are made by computer, and then you give them up to the entropy of THE CyBERWEB !!! DUHN DUHN DUHN !" |
Amorphous Records "Untitled Decree" | September 29, 2004 | No | |
Jason Cropper | "Beverly Hills is so ingenious. Like the lyrics….’It’s something you’re born into, and I just don’t belong’. It’s what everybody is feeling, but nobody had thought it or articulated it in a song. It’s just genius I think. The social commentary alone is just very overlooked in rock critic intelligentsia. I don’t think they’re really operating on the same level that Rivers is in terms of art. It’s a statement. And it’s a kick-ass jam too." | Weezercord interview | September 18, 2020 | Weezercord Live 9/18/20 | No |
Karl Koch | "[R]ivers wanted it raw. that plus his Japanese thing added up to a record that less people would like (i.e. 'buy'), but those that did seemed to like it more than 'blue'. he was simultaneously not giving a crap if it did well and totally assuming that it would be enormous. this is a paradox that in fact seems to sum up rivers's psyche at the time. and maybe still does for all i know." | alt.music.weezer message | September 11, 1999 | No |
