Scott Shriner: Difference between revisions

In the summer of 2001, Shriner joined Weezer on a provisional basis. Following the departure of their second bassist, [[Mikey Welsh]], who left the band for health reasons, Shriner was made Weezer's full-time bassist. In his first show with the band, the August 2001 [[KROQ]] Inland Invasion, he was attacked by an ex-bandmate onstage, yet continued to play on as security guards pried the man off his back. He is Weezer's third bassist, yet he is the longest running bassist in Weezer history.

He has appeared on sixteen of Weezer's nineteen studio albums, ''[[Maladroit]]'', ''[[Make Believe]]'', ''[[Weezer (The Red Album) | The Red Album]]'', ''[[Raditude]]'', ''[[Hurley]]'', ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'', ''[[The White Album]]'', ''[[Pacific Daydream]]'', ''[[Weezer (The Teal Album)]]'', ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)]]'', ''[[OK Human]]'', ''[[Van Weezer]]'' and all four of the [[SZNZ]] records in 2022. On ''Red'', he co-wrote and sang lead vocals on "[[Cold Dark World]]," sang lead vocals on "[[King]]," a deluxe edition track, and sang most of the lead vocals on Weezer's cover of "[[The Weight]]" by The Band. In 2005, he sang lead vocals in concert on Weezer songs "[[In the Garage]]," "[[Dope Nose]]" and "[[Fall Together]]." In 2008, during the band's Hootenanny Tour, he sang lead vocals on a cover of "Creep" by Radiohead. He also played on the band's live EP ''[[The Lion and the Witch]]'' and countless b-sides and demos that can be found floating around the internet. He has also played shows with [[Patrick Wilson]]'s band [[The Special Goodness]].
