Behind the Scenes from Japan Tour

[Spoken Word]

Rivers: That's some food from [...] if you're feeling brave.

Scott: Oh yeah, what's that, like Bondox? (?)

Rivers: Cheese stake.

Japanese person: [...]

Japanese translator: He really loved the show.

Weezer: Oh!

Translator: You must be really happy with the ways, when, or...

Weezer: Yeah!

Brian: Yeah, it was a great night.

Rivers: Do you think there's any possibility a fan would've put poison in this cheese stake?

Translator: Umm... Does it taste poisonous?

Rivers: Tastes great, but–

Translator: Hahaha

Brian: I think, I think none, I think there's zero chance. I mean, I left my wallet on the train, and, uh, I was actually off the train, and somebody came out, somebody got my wallet. Everyone's so honest, and, uh, and, you know, will not steal from you. So I doubt they'll kill you.

Translator: That means... We're very happy that you finished the tour in Japan. And this is your last destination, right?

Rivers: Yeah, yeah. I'm really happy about that, too. Just, couldn't pick a better place and...

Translator: So what is Japan to you like?

Patrick: I think it's the most advanced ever environment I've ever played in. It's amazing that such giant cities can be so efficient and clean and, everybody's very polite–

Rivers (probably): It's safe

Patrick: ...And safe. I mean, you know...

Rivers: I feel like a lot of unconditional love and support here. Looking out at the audience, it kinda feels like, uh, bunch of our little brothers and sisters. And they just love us, and look up to us. And, uh, and gives, gives me a lot of confidence.

Translator: You also performed with The Pixies in July. How was it like to play with The Pixies?

Patrick: It's cool...

Translator: Hahaha

Rivers: Yeah, it reminded me of, of our, of the early days of this band, when we were first playing together. When we would listen to their records. I thought about Matt Sharp a lot. And just how inspiring The Pixies were, not just on Weezer, but on so many bands on our generation. They were a real influence.

Translator: Between you, please pick one album that really changed your life.

Rivers: Wow.

Scott: I guess I'll say, uh, "Electric Ladyland" by Jimmi Hendrix.

Translator: Jimmi Hendrix, yeah.

Scott: The first time I ever heard it as a kid, it kinda really scared me, some of the sounds on it. I was really young, like way to young to be really listening to it. But I kinda grew up with it, and it kinda came in more and more and... Really, yeah, really, just turned me out on a huge direction.

Brian: I had a moment of, just, “This is, this is”, I don't know, “the greatest thing in the world”, when I first heard Metallica's "The Four Horsemen".

Translator: When?

Brian: It could've been the state of mind that I was in, but I was like “This is where it's at”.

Patrick: I had "The Pleasure Principle" by Gary Newman. When it came out, I was very young. And I think that's probably the only album, that's... I think I like it more now than I did then. Uh...

Rivers: I was probably seven when I heard “This Is Rock 'N' Roll Over", and, uh, that's the first time I heard heavy rock music. And it just drove me crazy. Thank you.

Translator: Okay

Weezer: Okay

Scott: Very nice to meet you.

Patrick: Thank you, for real.

Rivers: Thank you.

Scott: No, it's great. Check these fans are really cool, bringing presents. Some girl brought me socks yesterday, little tiny socks

Someone off camera: Yeah?

Scott: Yeah! Made a little car. Love Japan! Make food... Love Japan.
