Matt Sharp and Rivers Cuomo - Mrs Young (Live) video free download

I just might cry.

Everyone wishes they'd make more music together. That's why the music of early Weezer was so brilliant, Rivers+Matt together.

Michael Carlo

I remember reading the liner notes on the blue album and Pat and Brian had co-writing credits on a song or two. That's how you collect significant royalties, you need writing/co-writing. I was surprised to see, because Matt's influence on the band seemed obvious, that on Blue and Pink he didn't have any writing credit. I'm guessing that he was making less money than everyone else in the band, so he departed. Then again, Pinkerton was a flop when it first came out, so who knows what differences between them that may have caused artistically.

AHHHHHH why can't he be in Weezer again

Is that Pork and Beans chord progression?

everyone needs to stop saying Weezer isn't good anymore cause I just recently saw them live and they still have it. Scott isn't as good as Matt but Scott is all right and has a different sound. Some of their newer songs are good and they're coming out with a new album which might have some really good songs on it. Not everything can be the blue album, pinkerton, or sound just like them. Weezer is still Weezer.

I understand the urge to want to look for a reason that Weezer sucks now. And it's easy to pick Matt as a scapegoat because he went on to make some decent records himself, and because Scott is absolutely terrible. But the reality is that Weezer just sucks now because Rivers decided to be a real life troll, jettison his "old, out of touch fans," and try to court fame and make meta-statements about pop culture instead of write good songs.

ROTR (and probably Seven More Minutes also) are better than anything post-Pinkerton, but what he's is saying is that Matt Sharp never wrote anything on Blue or Pinkerton. Matt contributed his falsetto, and maybe the fuzz bass, but he never claimed to have written anything on those records until his lawsuit. Matt even credits Rivers with giving him the courage to write his own stuff.

Nah, theres a guy who says that at 1:53

Why are people going on about Matt and Rivers as if they where ever a partnership? They could've been the American Lennon/McCartney(maybe stretching it a bit) if they learned to write together but sadly that never happened.

Return of the rentals is better than any post pinkerton =w= but it would sound better sung by weezer. Weezer had a sound AND amazing songs. Think Soundgarden, no Nirvana. Take away their sound or songwriting. Think Nirvana with Meatloaf singing instead of Cobain. Rivers leading for Raskal Flats (or some other shitty country band). Would they be successful? YES, they're all talented. Would they be mentioned in the same sentance as the beatles when someone summed up 20th century music? No.

greenplastikme

No it's not. Separate they are shit. Nobody gives a flying fuck about weezer now... they're a moderately successful pop band. Years ago they were something amazing... a cult following, huge commercial success and critical acclaim... now they're what? Touring with the band that wrote crap like stacy's mom? Wait... did weezer put out stacy's mom? They suck now. It's like when you take a key ingredient out of a recipe ... ever have fucking suger cookies without the suger? They're horrible.

Bring back Matt Sharp and the Weezer we loved!

weezer without sharp isnt weezer...i only own two weezer albums and its gonna stay that way til matt comes back

alexfnsmith11

wow,dont wanna sound like a queer or nuthin'...but im about to cry

Eric Smith

The Green Album and Maladroit are genius. Matt did add a nice quirky touch to =W= but he wasn't as instrumental in the sound as he gets credit for. Rivers got really weird after the reception Pinkerton received after it's release and that had more to do with the music than Matt's departure.

Daniel Neal

thesoftsquid... its obvious that you have never played in a band. It would be my dream come true to see Matt and Rivers and Pat and Brian play together again. The music those four made together was the better than either incarnations have made separately since then. Even if they played in a room to no one but themselves. They have a connection a chemistry that is undeniable... Its NOT the same without them TOGETHER... Whether its the Rentals or Weezer. I miss them playing together.

It's funny how Matt and Rivers have such a similar relationship as David Gilmour and Roger Waters.

@pollywolly67 I always thought Matt was the creative talent behind the band in the Blue album and Pinkerton, I really hope he gets some satisfaction from people starting to notice that the band hasn't been the same since he left.
