  • What is the point in this?

    They haven't made it their own, it's not bad, its just Paranoid Android with Rivers singing

    • its only a youtube video, just a band having fun

    • Because they can?

      As a mark of respect for a song they really like?

      Not a bad cover anyway.

  • Best comment...

    Oh man this was really? good!! He's no Jonny but I love how Rivers sings it.

    • Tbf

      Pat did completely shit all over it.

  • well i thought it was pretty cool

    probably won't listen to it again though

    CrispinAlexander | 27 May '11, 21:31 | X
  • This isn't Weezer trying to sound? like Radiohead. This is Weezer making a Radiohead song their own. Rivers doesn't need to sound like Thom Yorke, when he already sounds like Rivers Cuomo.

    • i.e. abysmal

  • bleh

    though Weezer have repeatedly punched me in the face over the years, this is kinda too faithful

    doesn't add anything, just sounds like paranoid android a bit with rivers cuomo singing

    Tiresias | 27 May '11, 21:49 | X
  • this is worse than anything green album onwards

    why cover the worst band ever

  • Weezer have always been shit.

    Wake up.

    • un

      first two albums 10/10, the vast majority of people into dis-esque music back in the day would have agreed, if you first heard them in their 2nd incarnation though fair enough its impossible to unhear those things and listen through untainted ears

      • agreed

        amazing albums. saw them a couple of times during the tour cycles of those first two albums. quality

  • Nah I'm old (ish)

    they never rocked my boat even the first time round.

    Stuzza | 28 May '11, 00:09 | X
  • It's a bit like Cuomo at a karaoke bar or something

    It's alright I guess

    Annoying_person | 28 May '11, 01:31 | X
  • A Weezer best of would anihalate a Radiohead best of

    but this song is basically karaoke albeit well done...

    SurfsUp | 28 May '11, 02:19 | X
  • It's not like Radiohead haven't done this kind of cover themselves:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtmS2ePSSdU

    I didn't particularly enjoy the Weezer one though.

    Icarus-Smicarus | 28 May '11, 04:10 | X
    • Thom Yorke shouldn't do covers... he tries to mimic the voice of whoever he's covering.

      wecancreate @Icarus-Smicarus | 28 May '11, 07:58 | X
      • Completely disagree

        That Ceremony cover is one of the best I've ever heard. Actually, The Smiths one is too!

        useded @wecancreate | 28 May '11, 11:56 | X
        • I agree, these are both really good covers.

          Especially Ceremony.

          maccaz91 @useded | 28 May '11, 12:05 | X
  • I wish weezer would get stuck in a well

    where'd THAT come from?

    theintl | 28 May '11, 12:28 | X
  • Really enjoyed the Neil Young covers he did

    Especially the ones from On The Beach.

    TheOctopus | 28 May '11, 15:45 | X
  • better than the original

    kilgore-trout | 28 May '11, 15:57 | X
  • i wish they'd do a cover of treefingers
