In my alternative reality version of the present Weezer are a really cool band from the 90s who went out on a high after recording Pinkerton. Sadly, in the real world, they’ve recorded four forgettable albums since Pinkerton. Or maybe five. I don’t know.
This cover of Radiohead’s Paranoid Android from the cool 90s band Weezer is pretty awesome.
Here’s some vintage Weezer.

Weezer must have one of the strangest working band dynamic in the world.

Yep, Weezer were one of the greats at the top of their game. Pinkerton is easily in my all time top 10 albums. Goes to show that a person (Rivers) can’t be amazingly creative and cool forever.
Funny that you put two Blue Album songs up. I reckon their best film clip, which strangely came on teh Windows 95 installation CD, is Buddy Holly (also fro Blue Album).
(In the Radiohead cover) Who’s playing drums? Pretty sure that’s Pat (drummer) playing guitar.
Call me a purist, but River is at his best when he’s doing his own stuff. His voice just didn’t hack the range of PA.
