"Mi chiamo Rivers Cuomo. Ho 32 anni canto e suona la chitarra nei Weezer..." "Sono cresciuto in varie cittadine di campagna nel connecticut completamente lontano da qualcosa che potesse essere minimamente "cool". A 18 anni mi sono rotto e sono partito per Los Angelse per diventare una rock star. Presto ho capito che era una cosa idiota e ho abbandonato il mio progetto. Allo stesso tempo vengo mollato dalla mia ragazza. Ero veramente triste e ho iniziato a scrivere canzoni. LA maggior parte di esse facevano cagare ma a questo ero abituato perche ho sempre avuto problemi ad esprimere direttamente i miei sentimenti. E visto che a nessuno realmente interesa, e perchè qualsiasi cosa concreta è impossibile da descrivere chiaramente. ho iniziato a scrivere musica ancora e ancora per esprimermi al meglio"

"raised in tennessee, little brian knew he wanted to be a rock star at an early age. lucky enough to catch and elvis (presley, that is) concert at the age of four, he wanted nothing else but to be a hounddog. studying "geetar" pickin' on tv from such fine eastern tennessee programs as "the barneyloo and buster show" and, of course, "hee haw," little brian learned how to pick 'n' grin on a ukelele his grandma won at a bingo game. brian's dad, a wacky absent-minded professor and ex-college dj, turned him onto cool music he had from the 50's and 60's. so, armed with his first turntable, a fisher price lo-fi stereo system, little brian managed to scratch and destroy most of dad's valuable 45's. as brian grew older, he began to feel isolated and out-of-place with the other reindeer. while the "normal" tennessee boys were out hunting possum, chewing tobacco and making up fish stories, he preferred to stay home and watch billy mumy movies. ah, movies, music and show biz. Why was it all based in one glorious place -- los angeles? so, just like the clampetts, brian packed up my bags and moved to yucca St., hollywired (cause everyone he met at first was on crystal meth.) not at all like the movies."



name: Patrick Wilson


birthday: february 1, 1969
sign: aquarius
hometown: buffalo, new york
status: married
spare time: works on his one-man-band the special goodness
"my name is patrick wilson and i play drums for weezer. as i write this on a friday morning, i'm listening to our cd. it's a good feeling, but very strange. four years ago i was a guy with a bad haircut from buffalo, new york. the music scene there is lame, consisting largely of cover bands and bad metal. it seems that musicians in small towns have a gunslinger attitude that is also faintly bitter. some of them just have attitude. i decided to quit my day job and move to los angeles with my new friend pat finn (pat is responsible for us knowing each other.) after many growing pains, weezer was formed. since then, i've tried to understand what it means to be in a band. all i know about music is instinctual or from a record; i haven't witnessed much live music. as far as i can tell, being in a band can be just as important as any other occupation -- and so far, it's far more rewarding. we recorded this with ric ocasek and chris shaw at electric lady in n.y. i loved the experience and feel honored to have worked with them. the record sounds the way it does because the drums aren't the loudest thing in the mix. some how, phil collins' style of recording has taken over, and we didn't want that. the only effects used are fuzz bass on "in the garage" and a little compression here and there. Certainly not as much as they put on ringo. our live show is different from the record in terms of sheer power, so c'mon out when we roll through yer town. thanks for listening."



name: Mikey Welsh


birthday: april 20, 1971
sign: taurus
hometown: syracuse, new york
status: single
spare time: see below
"i was born on april 20, 1971 in syracuse, new york. i have hazel eyes and dark brown hair. some of the bands i listen to are: the cow, flaming lips, unsane, slint, chet baker, drive like jehu...um, what else? oh, some bands i've played and toured with are: juliana hatfield, chevy heston, jocobono, heretix...i have tattoos all over my arms - that's one of my occasional hobbies. i also enjoy eating sushi, going out for cocktails with my friends, movies, sleeping late, cigarettes, girls, shopping (shoes, clothes, etc.)i'm sure you're getting the picture here."



My name is Matt Sharp and I play bass in Weezer. This is the first band I have been in and the first album I've played on (The "Blue" album), both of which means a lot to me. I also sang the falsetto vocals on the record, which is probably most easily recognized on "Say It Ain't So." (These were, oddly enough, the first notes I sang in front of anyone). The falsetto stuff is pretty much on all of the tunes except for "In the Garage" and "Holiday." Singing can be pretty rewarding even when you're not that good at it. For me, it filled a gap in my life that was there until the band started. I'm not exactly sure what we four have in common, but I do consider Pat, Brian and Rivers to be good people and good friends that I am glad to be associated with. Also, the opportunity to work with people as talented as Ric and Chris was an experience and an honor that will be with me forever. If I had to make a list of music I care about and have been listening to lately, the things that come to mind first are: the last three Talk Talk albums, old Gary Numan records, the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, and all of That Dog [sic] songs I could get from Tony and Rachel. I hope when people listen to these ten songs, they will enjoy them as I have enjoyed some of the music I just mentioned, Besides that, I think my story is just not that interesting and I should probably stop.



Jason Cropper 

Fu un membro base del gruppo alle prime armi. suonava la chitarra a custica e in qualche canzone faceva cori. Ha lasciato la band durante la registrazione del Blue Album per prendersi cura della moglie incinta. Possiamo trovare la sua presenza nelle chi tarre di "My Name Is Jonas" e nella prima versione di Jamie. Ora suona in una band chiamata "Chopper One"



Scott Schriner 

In questo momento sta sostituendo Mikey Welschs (che si è ricoverato in una clinica) come bassista dei Weezer.
