The Weezer Cruise: Rivers Cuomo Shows Us His Underwear
My best friend and I recently found ourselves boarding the Weezer Cruise. The red eye from L.A. took us to Miami, where we departed for a five-days-at-sea music carnival, featuring Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, the Antlers, Ozma, and, yes, Weezer. Our shipmates ...

    Hell, I’d do him.

    God, in those shorts, I’m not surprised.

    Yeah, isn’t Rivers looking a little Florida-retiree there? I also heard he has a super-big East Asian Lady fetish. Maybe he’s saving up for his trip to Japan.

  4. Like when he went to Harvard and dressed like the Unabomber and had no friends. He claims fellow students would walk by wearing Weezer t-shirts and he wanted to talk to them, but was shy. Uh, sure Rivers.

  5. I am a big weezer fan but WTF is with the Beverly Hills single, I watched “the making of” on mtv2 for the video and the song is not great.

    It reminds me of how The Offspring actually had ok music but then those bastards came out with pretty fly for a white guy and probably peaked and will never sell more albums again

    but it’s just like easy cheese, someone may buy more of it, but they know it’s shit and people get tired of shit

  6. Maybe he’s tired of having sex, so tired.

    Everything that is wrong with Rolling stone can be summed up by the three names at the top of this cover. Jack Johnson, Larry the Cable Guy, and 50 Cent.

    curmudgeonly? yes, but correct nonetheless.

  8. AlexDS  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    Amen Rancho, I was thinking the same. Rolling Stone is as “with it” as Reader’s Digest. But at least RD has jokes.

  9. Brian  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    I think Rivers got tired of wearing suits. Remember when he wore suits? Boy, he must’ve gotten a ton of poon tang with those suits.

    I remember reading about how this cat would send some douche roadie out in the crowd of kiddies holding a sign that said something like, “Have sex with Rivers – Follow me.” Rock n Roll, bitch.

  10. Trede  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    Rivers can do me any day.

  11. Dion  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    I’m so pissed off at =W= for becoming tools with that Beverly Hills ditty. Rivers Cuomo was so much better when he was depressed and living in a completely black room singing about being in love with lesbians over this crap. Too bad for the youngins who don’t know better and think Weezer is a band who’s first single is Hash Pipe.

  12. the one example where i prefer the emo version.

  13. Guess I gotta go somewhere else for the Eva Longoria pics. Doubleviking.com, perhaps?

  14. charlie  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    how about a little leak action. hah.

  15. Karen  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    i agree. there’s something really sleazy about rivers. and that would be just fine if he didn’t try to come off as the sensitive artist type.

  16. cashew  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    man, that BEVERLY HILLS song sucks ass

  17. puinsai  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    I would personally like to congratulate Weezer on their future induction into the “100 Lamest Bands Of All-Time” category at VH1.

  18. It says somewhere in the article Weezer wants to lose fans, at least that’s what I Felt it was hinting at so maybe releasing a crappy single has something to do with that. Also I’m sure the record companies (especially geffen) has a huge say in what LP track is released as a single. Has anyone hear actually heard the whole album? That might be the only bad song, who knows. Other than that though It’s hard to believe some of Rivers’ little experiments like locking himself in a closet for two weeks.

  19. Shaka Zuluu  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    Hi, my name is River or something and I’m an indy fag, nerd or whatever. I have single-handedly set the X and Y chromosome combo back a about a century. My testosterone levels are nill. Look at me, look at me ! I am an art fag! On the cover of a corporate monolith. And fuck me and my lame ass music while your at it.

    Shaka Out.

  20. weezer_bummed  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    I’ve read the Weezer updates. I’ve read some of Rivers’ blog. I’ve heard the whole saga. I loved the Blue album. How fun and awesome was that at the time? Pinkerton was good too. I even warmed up to Green. But to find out that we have been waiting years for… this bull shit? Beverly Hills? That’s where he wants to be? That is his spiritual revelation? Good lord I need a drink.

  21. Billy K  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    Wow. They’re IRONIC.

    Hey, look everybody…Weezer is IRONIC. Come on, shout it with me.

    I know because the one guy is dressed like a retiree. See? His black socks are pulled up, and he’s wearing them with SHORTS. (guffaw!)

    And the other guy is dressed like Miami Vices, or whatever that 80s show was called. (snort!)

    God, this band was over about the time everybody finished listening to Pinkerton. Maybe that’s why they took such a long vacation between records. They knew they were done.

    “Weezer…Billy Joel for the Emo Generation.”

    Bah!

  22. coco bananarama  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    which weezer dude stole nick valensi’s girlfriend?

  23. coco bananarama  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    well if he hasn’t had it for 2 years, i wouldn’t say he’s full of shit, i’d say he’s full of something else entirely!

  24. The song is a bit of a let down considering the amount of time waiting. The lyrics seem incredibly contrived because at this point he has the money to live in Beverly Hills so there is no point in reminiscing.

    But I’m going to wait for the whole album.

    Also to the people flipping out over this one song- you’re the douches because its completely obvious you were waiting to pounce on this shit before it even came out. Wait till the album and then honestly think about it.

    Oh and shaka you’re the fag.

  25. westcoast.  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    i think weezer was just far too much of an integral part of my early teen years for me to hate them completely, regardless of how disappointing this single is (tongue-in-cheek humor, i get it, rivs–it’s not funny). i’ve still got hopes the remainder of “make believe” will be good though…

    as for cuomo being full of shit, i’ve met the guy a couple of times out in random places in LA. he really is that fucking weird/shy/fuckedup/MALADROIT(ohshit).

    …and he’s not as short as he looks.

  26. robb  |   Posted on Apr 22nd, 2005

    I grew up on the Blue album and Pinkerton but I loved Maladroit. That was some good shit.

  27. Oh my god WHO CARES WHAT HE’S WEARING. Did the Pope die and make you people the judge of who’s worthy and who isn’t? “He’s a poser, they’re such sellouts BLAH DE BLAH BLAH.” Listen to it if you like it, rock something else if you don’t. But being down on someone for what they look like of the cover of craptastic ROLLING STONE is so small I just bent down and peeled it off the bottom of my white Grandma loafer, dudes.

  28. “Full of shit”, the greatest attribute a rock star can have. Rock on.

  29. dallapozza  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    dude, those are some ugly shorts!

  30. Andie  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    Whatever, Rivers ia soOo Fuckin’ hot…

  31. andie  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    Oops.. I meant Rivers IS so Fuckin’ hot..

  32. http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1V1HKXWBDRLFT3B72L32I98T3W

    ^bootleg of make believe minus the final two songs of the album.

    this new album is pretty great, guys. It’ll definitely be relavent long after Green and Maladroit become completely obsolete (as if they haven’t already).

  33. relevant? hah.

  34. relavent? hah.

  35. coco bananarama  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    you were right the first time

  36. what i don’t get is why everyone is acting so suddenly surprised now that they suck?

    didn’t anyone hear the green album and malashite?

  37. Roxie  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    The guy hasn’t had sex in 2 years because he is a DOUCHEBAG riding on an accidental second album cult hit.

  38. allen  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    you know at this point who fucking cares.

    i have observed this interesting trend where people discuss and get dissapointed in weezer for being such a douche of a band because they used to be such little indie darlings. why can’t people just let it go. yeah at one time they made some good albums. but as far as i am concerned their recent work (last 3 albums) were pop trash and nothing more….face it kids…they are gone FOREVER !!! So put away the kleenex there is no reason to cry a river over rivers. as a good songwriter he has been dead for years.

    p.s rivers if you are reading this let’s get some of that messiah action going…i know you can come rise again baby, i am holding out hope

  39. i’m glad weezer is putting out the music they want to. they dont owe shit to anyone and rivers is gonna write the songs he wants to write.

    i like that and i personally am sick and tired of people whining about how their songs suck, or whatnot. blow me.

    i’ve been a fan SINCE THE DAY BLUE ALBUM HIT RADIO and i have enjoyed every fucking album they’ve come out with.

    people whined about pinkerton, then they loved it. i know weezer won’t let any criticism get to them, especially after the crap they musta gotten for last albums, and for pinkerton at first.

    people are so goddamn selfish. hah.

    i’d like to see any one of you little douchebags write songs like rivers. and if you can, why arent you?

    i’m gonna love the new album.

    beverly hills is funny, its different, and its IRONIC, you braindead fuckers. hah. geezus christ god forbid someone tries to express himself in an amusing way.

    yeah since buddy holly and the sweater song were SO fuckin deep and complex.

  40. It’s interesting – nay, amazing – to me that anyone could take Weezer seriously at all. They are, and always have been, a gag band; it’s just that the gag changes periodically. Cuomo is like a little kid playing dress-up with musical styles, only the styles he chooses are pathetic in and of themselves.

    And really, the whole hipster-post-modern-irony thing is unutterably old and lame.

  41. weezer has such a huge fan base that they’ll never really go away. and i heard some clips from the album on that making the video show, they sounded a lot better than bev hills FYI

  42. Devin  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    Hey guys you’re a few days late on dissing the new weezer material- the album leaked and it’s definitely their best work since (gasp) Pinkerton. Vocals remind me of blue but a little more polished and some of the guitar is straight out of pinkerton.

  43. yeah WHERE IS THAT FUCKING LEAK haha

  44. The Free Music Master  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005

    i am currently uploading the album on yousendit.

    i will post the link soon

  45. The Free Music Master  |   Posted on Apr 23rd, 2005
  46. I’m sorry, you’re not really a free music master.

    Just go on viptorrents. You’ll find it there, and probably at MUCH faster speeds. Color me unimpressed.

    The album, as a whole, is not representative of what you hear in Beverly Hills – its a lot better.

  47. The Free Music Master  |   Posted on Apr 24th, 2005

    just another ungrateful sterogum fuck. you people have terrible attitudes as of late

  48. The Free Music Master  |   Posted on Apr 24th, 2005

    http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3NC9ISEZ22NAE2UV5KW6A80GVV

    another link for you guys to kill… yeah, hows that for unimpressive ben?

  49. look, it’s great that you’re sharing it, but calling yourself the “free music master” is pretty ridiculous since anyone with half a brain can find it on a torrent service (considering they’re ALL sharing it now).

  50. Rex Karz  |   Posted on Apr 25th, 2005

    My favorite comment so far is “I’m gonna love the new album”

  51. sarah  |   Posted on Apr 25th, 2005

    Oh, they are sooo weird, black socks, tatoos, purple and plaid, Rob Lowes’ stylist.

  52. new_weezer_album  |   Posted on Apr 26th, 2005

    You can get a torrent for the new album from http://www.torrentspy.com and it’s legit. I’m half way through it and thankfully the other songs are better than Beverly Hills.

  53. u can get the new album off limewire it is the best work since pinkerton

  54. and rivers cuomo is a musical genius

  55. even if beverly hills sucks

  56. rick rubin described it as having a “steve miller vibe” wow

  57. at least they’re getting better since that green album came out…i miss pinkerton but i’m happy with the direction that they’re going in their music

  58. oh and by the way, “hold me” rocks. can’t wait until may 10 so i can buy the album.
