bobbob1313 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That Shods tune may well have 'inspired' Hash Pipe, but that is in no way a direct ripoff. It reminded me immediately of the Peter Gunn Theme, and Hash Pipe has never done that. Can we change your little user name thing to "Weezer apologist"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Is your monkey shirt still alive? We had talked about this a while ago when I inquired if I could buy a new one because I think someone stole mine. Either that or it got lost at some point. I was very distraught...

Sir Stewart Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That's right! I forgot - I was just reminded recently of that venture when JUDE (or Jules) complained that his dryer ate the shirt like it was a paper towel. NP - The Blue Album Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wait, can we back up a second? The Blue album kicks ass because Ric Ocasek convinced them to play with the lead pickup instead of the rhythm pickup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 The tracklist for the album was posted over at weezer.com (where you can also listen to a stream of Pork and Beans). Because I'm also "homo for Cuomo", I'll be picking up the "Deluxe" edition with its four extra tracks. "Weezer" (2008) Tracklist is as follows: Regular Edition (CD; digital): 1. Troublemaker2. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)3. Pork and Beans4. Heart Songs5. Everybody Get Dangerous6. Dreamin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who knew that the difference between a bad record and a good one was the flick of a toggle switch. If only Jeff and the gang had known this, they might not have had those problems with Warners over YHF . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigideas Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 wow, so that's the actual cover? Brian Bell (i think that's the guitarist) looks really different from what i remember.he looks like K Fed with long hair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh Rich Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I heard "Pork and Beans" on the radio last night - thought it was good fun, but definitely Weezer by numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I really hope the music behind that cover isn't as awful as the cover itself, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. While I liked "Pork and Beans" initially, it's becoming less and less appealing. I like the chorus, but the rest is not so great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 It reminded my a lot of "Beverly Hills" that's for sure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I actually haven't heard Pork and Beans yet. To be honest, I like "Beverly Hills" a lot more than I probably should. I think it totally realizes how cheesy it is and relishes in it. Say what you want about Rivers, but he's a funny guy, and I think (hope?) that they think that song is as funny as I do.

lamradio Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 It reminded my a lot of "Beverly Hills" that's for sure... Yeah, the versus definitely remind me of Beverly Hills.. Plain and generic.. But boy the chorus makes up for it.. The guitar is so beefy and it just Rocks.. I like the tune a lot. But you make a good point Chompsky.. Weezer has had a cheesy song on every album.. Sweater song, El Scorcho, etc. etc.. I think they are trying to be funny, but it's just hard for me to stomach Beverly Hills.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it totally realizes how cheesy it is and relishes in it. Say what you want about Rivers, but he's a funny guy, and I think (hope?) that they think that song is as funny as I do. Actually from all indications (interviews and personal friend accounts) Rivers is a complete douchebag who deals only in douchebaggery. The song in general reminds me of Beverly Hills: utter junk that only gets worse on repeated listens. Sure, the early Weezer albums had some goofy songs mixed in with the more serious ones, but the line has become increasingly blurred and now it's just junk all around. I listened to Make Believe once (it took several tries) and that was way more than I should have. I have a feeling this album will be no different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Rivers seems out there, for sure, but I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to pick his brain for a while. He seems like he would be very interesting and engaging in a one on one situation, I think he just get's awkward when there is more attention on him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I met Rivers and Pat at a show back in 97.. Rivers was VERY drunk.. He hardly said a single word and didn't smile much.. He just seemed awkward and nervous.. Pat was really cool though.

bsr8j Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 It looks like some of the songs from the new album have made their way to the internet. I've haven't listened to any of them yet, but about half the album is available. See albumsix.com for more details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
