Weezers Pinkerton

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

Hold up: If there doesn't have to be a progression, as you concur, then why are you continuing to argue so stringently that there hasn't been one, as if it should still matter?

Because I have nothing else to do, I love Weezer, I'm sad I don't like their recent albums, and I like talking about music with people on this board.  Er, I thought I did.

That's not "back to square one"?

No.  I could explain it more, but I have a feeling it wouldn't matter either way.

Wow ... so it's ROCK MUSIC, then? (Who woulda thunk it?)

Rock, any healthy genre of music, doesn't have to adhere to strict standards.  When it does, you get boring music that sounds the same.  At least to me.  I like variety within a band's catalog.  Why settle for two cool parts of a song when you could have three?

Um, OK ...

Welcome to my world!

Why settle for two cool parts of a song when you could have three?

I dunno. Because excess isn't a virtue, maybe?

Because sometimes I'd rather hear Misirlou than Here Today.

Guys, if you're trying to "figure" out Rivers, seriously, study Dylan's career. It's a mini-version.
Just when EVERY Weezer fan gives up and stops buying their stuff, the "classic" Weezer album everyone wants will come out. Weezer people will proclaim "Rivers is back", then he'll go back to making everyone hate him.
It's a well, WELL trod path.

Discussing music is so fucking stupid.  Know why?  Because it's never about music.  f*** all of you.  Seriously.

[I. Spaceman]

Talk about some music that's worth discussing in such painful detail and I'll be happy to.
Like Pinkerton.

[Boxer Monkey]

Discussing music is so fodaing stupid.  Know why?  Because it's never about music.  foda all of you.  Seriously.

Damn. I guess I shouldn't have deleted my post about how I resent taking tissue to crybaby ass in the name of these Weezer threads ...

[Beckner]

I think you are all asshats. Seriously. And all of us are the stereotypical Weezer fan- bitch. If this isn't sefl fulfilling prophecy, I don't know what is.

I'm glad I spent the evening watching the hilarious drivel that is "Saving Silverman."


I think Rivers has made a deliberate point for each album to be and sound different from the last. That's in part where the Missing Years went... looking for the next sound and when he found it, it was *simpler* than the album before it. (*Simpler* in that there's no pretentious songs with "butterfly" metaphors or "Pink triangles" or "shaven heads" etc.)

And you can't relax long enough to listen to and enjoy "Maladroit" because it's simply fun and the production is great and the playing is great, shutup and go listen to your 47 takes of "Good Vibrations" for pleasure.

[DavidLeeRoth]

I hope you're right Ian.  As much as I like Make Believe the direction Rivers was taking right after the Pinkerton sessions was excellent.  I'm sure his chops on guitar and piano are more than up to the task to accomplish anything he wants musically these days.

Well and I was worried my kissoff had gone too far.

That's either the funniest thing you've ever done, or you're serious.

Any time I've tried talking about music with you in the past the response is, "I'm so glad I don't care about lyrics."  This is why people are being rude to you.

Exactly.

TOLD YOU!

Yep. And I still love ya, Aeij.

[Beckner]

Serious. And I was typing that while H was telling us (you guys, not me really) to "foda off."

[Boxer Monkey]

Gee, and I thought this had been a reasonably lucid, critical discussion *ABOUT MUSIC* until the "f*** yous" and "asshats" started flying.

I wouldn't wish "Saving Silverman" on my worst fucking enemy. (At least have the dignity to watch porn, you fucking loser.)

[I. Spaceman]

Beckner wa'nt calling u out, Box.

[Boxer Monkey]

I know! I shoulda added  or  or or  or  ...

[Chris D.]

Beckner wa'nt calling u out, Box.

"I think you all are asshats"?

[Boxer Monkey]

(I still recommend porn over "Saving Silverman," though.) (Dude, I'll fucking mail some to Baltimore ... )

[I. Spaceman]

Beckner wa'nt calling u out, Box.

"I think you all are asshats"?

I thought it was ironic commentary on the lack of progression in Rivers' lyrics.

[Beckner]

It was a jovial "asshat calling" posted before the "foda off" came about. Directed at all of us. Because what's the Weezer fan stereotype? This fucking lame damn thread!

[Boxer Monkey]

This fodaing lame damn thread!

[Hysterically] WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!

Well, that's why I asked if you were serious.  And I don't think this thread has had that much stereotypical Weezer stuff.  We've been talking more about our personalities than Rivers'.

[I. Spaceman]

We've been talking more about our personalities than Rivers'.

And that's what REAL music criticism is.

[Boxer Monkey]

Speak for yourself: If you re-read my posts, they're all about what an asshole Beckner is.
