How Weezer & The Blue Album Briefly Made Geekery Cool

Weezer were a revelation for 90s alternative rock. Heavy metal and comic books were how Rivers Cuomo was raised. Kiss and the X-Men were the Gods that he praised. And while Kurt Cobain also loved 70s Arena Rock and Marvel Comics, he never admitted to it in song. Devo and They Might Be Giants had set the groundwork, but Weezer proved definitively that nerds could indeed rock. As well as saving the hair metal guitar solo from obsolescence, on the band’s first album Cuomo wove tales of unravelling mental health, absent fathers and romances never attempted, told through the lens of personal minutiae and pop cultural obsession. Intimate and arena rock in equal measures, this is the story of how Weezer made The Blue Album. #weezer #alternative #MusicDocumentary Fact-checking by Chad Van Wagner. 00:00 Introduction 00:48 The Early Days of Rivers Cuomo in LA 07:24 The Creation of Say It Ain't So 13:35 Recording The Blue Album 20:03 Releasing The Blue Album 27:26 After The Blue Album Soundtrack Luar - Citrine (  / luarbeats  ) Jesse Gallagher - The Golden Present Luar - Anchor (  / luarbeats  ) You can also follow me here: Twitter:   / trashtheory   Facebook:   / trashtheoryyt   Or support me on Patreon:   / trashtheory   Rivers’ Edge by John D Luerssen, 2004, ECW Press “Rivers Cuomo Interview” Lÿndsey Parker, Porkchops & Applesauce, 1994 “Weezer sings about breakup” Fred Shuster, The Greenville News, Aug 1994 “Rivers Cuomo returns home with Weezer” Roger Catlin, Hartford Courant, Oct 1994 “Smells like teen spirit” Chip Midnight, MOO Magazine, Nov 1994 “Rock Candy” Jac Zinder, Spin Magazine, Jan 1995 “Weezer” Simon Witter, Sky, Feb 1995 “In the beginning was the nerd” Emma Forrest, The Independent, Mar 1995 “Revenge of the Weezer Nerds” Mim Udovich, Rolling Stone, Mar 1995 “Weezer: Nerds No More“ Paul Gobicheau, Boston Globe, Mar 1995 “Man of Steel” Tom Beaujour, Guitar World, Mar 1995 “It's not easy being Weezer“ Sam McDonald, Daily Press, Mar 1995 “Weirder by the Day“ Al Muzer, Aquarian Weekly, Apr 1995 “Weezer: The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth” Max Bell, Vox, Apr 1995 “Tourbus Tales: Weezer” Vox, May 1995 “As Funny as They Wanna Be : Who’s laughing now?” Steve Appleford, LA Times, May 1995 “Weezer's Uncomfortable Success” Clare Kleinedler, Addicted To Noise, Dec 1996 “Weezer's Uncomfortable Success, part 2: The Rivers Cuomo Interview” Clare Kleinedler, Addicted To Noise, Dec 1996 “Happy [cancelled] Days” David Daley, Alternative Press, Jan 1997 “Ol' Nerdy Bastard” Mark Lewman, RIP Magazine, Jan 1997 “Weezer: 50,000,000 Weezer Fans Can’t Be Wrong” Erik Himmelsbach, Request, May 2001 “Odd Man Out” Ian Winwood, Kerrang!, Jul 2001 “Tantrums.
