Overview
Mikey Welsh: Everyone is on an album?
Tom Faix: Yeah.
Mikey: (Laughs)
- —2011 interview with Mikey Welsh[1]
"Everyone" was written by Rivers Cuomo in the summer of 1998 during Weezer's 1997-2000 hiatus. The song was recorded by Weezer with then-new bassist Mikey Welsh in August of 1998 at Mouse House Studios in Los Angeles, engineered by Rich Mouser (The same session that yielded the band's cover of "Velouria" by the Pixies, released in 1999).
"Everyone" went unreleased until it was reworked for the compilation album Death to False Metal, released in 2010. "[...]it was just too hardcore, heavy-metal to be on a Weezer record at the time." Cuomo told The A.V. Club in 2010,[2] "That’s why we set it aside. So I worked on that some more recently in the studio, and put some crazy vocal moments on it." Scott Shriner expressed a fondness of the track via Facebook comments upon the album's release.[citation needed] Karl Koch noted in a 2011 interview that Welsh was “partly responsible for the ultra heavy “Everyone”" and other 'Fu Manchu-like' songs of this period.” Welsh first learned of the release of "Everyone" in a July 2011 interview with the blog Square Cotton Candy.[1]
The Death to False Metal version of the song received additional overdubs, with a new guitar solo section as well as additional vocals. The bass track was redone by current Weezer bassist Scott Shriner to reflect the revised song structure. Cuomo released demos of the song as part of the digital compilation Alone VI: The Black Room in 2010.
