I think "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" was more inspired by Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" than anything Mr. Bungle did, but I also doubt he would've done it if Green Day hadn't done "Jesus of Suburbia".

That's probably true. I still think it's a horrible song. But it's definitely interesting, something I can't say for any Weezer song I've heard since some of Maladroit.

Also, Green album is HORRIBLE! I know a lot of people tend to say "hmm, it's not that bad...." But I think it might be their worst (though Hash Pipe rules), and that's saying a lot. Every song sounds EXACTLY THE SAME (aside from Hash Pipe). I mean, what an amazingly horrible record -- OHHH, A GUITAR SOLO THAT FOLLOWS THE VERSE MELODY IDENTICALLY ON EVERY SINGLE SONG. I mean, and that was their 3rd album, and they've done, like, 8 or 9 now?! I mean, jesus!.. I think Maladroit was their last grasp.. like, okay, now that we're selling a billion albums a second again, let's try one more somewhat creative album (and, no, it's not THAT creative, but it's leagues more interesting than Green). It failed so that's why they've done more absolute garbage.

Anyway, even though I like a few of their songs (espcially Pinkerton........'s b-sides.. Devotion, especially!), Weezer have always been something of a joke band. Epic songs about sweaters, Happy Days "appearances", their stupid album covers, etc. For some reason, people took it all seriously and Rivers was called "the daddy of emo" (which is wrong) and "the greatest songwriter in the world" (because he can string together power chords in an uninteresting fashion?). I think they pretty much are still the same band, but their lyrics are just a little bit more embarassing. Or maybe their fans just grew up?

Green Album
Maladroit
Red Album

^those are albums I LIKE. I don't love them. But they have at least half-of an album of songs I think are good. So yeah.

Pretty sure Rivers Cuomo is a musical troll with an undeserved Bob Dylan complex

if you can honestly say that "The Good Life" or "Say It Ain't So" aren't amazingly written songs, then you may already be dead.

I'd take Rivers Cuomo over Bob Dylan any day. Aside from Blonde on Blonde, I consider Dylan to be massively overrated.

It's not that he's awful. Far from it actually. He's just totally not my style.

Ha!

I just don't see what's so great about him. I can see how some people might like it, but Blonde on Blonde is the only album of his that I've heard, that hasn't bored me beyond tears.

Surely I can't be the only one?

Seriously though, I don't give a toss if someone dislikes Dylan.....but have you really dug into Blood On The Tracks, Highway 61, and some others?

No, and I honestly would never be curious enough to do so.

I'm sure he was considered groundbreaking in the 60's, but that was 30 years before I was born, and I just can't relate to his boring music. I just don't see his material holding up as well as opposed to that of his peers from the same decade, like the Beach Boys, Velvet Underground, or Strawberry Alarm Clock! Now those are some great acts!

This post is absolutely epic and immortal. In a certain way.
