Cobain was mentioned by name in the original draft for the lyrics to "[[Susanne]]" ("Even Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose/When I call, you put them all on hold."), but upon Cobain's April 1994 death, the line was altered. This can be heard on Rivers' original demo of the song, recorded in January 1994, and later released on ''[[Alone III: The Pinkerton Years 1994-1997|Alone III]]'' in 2011. When the song was brought back into the band's setlists in 2010, the original lyric mentioning Cobain was restored. | Cobain was mentioned by name in the original draft for the lyrics to "[[Susanne]]" ("Even Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose/When I call, you put them all on hold."), but upon Cobain's April 1994 death, the line was altered.

Cuomo also noted Nirvana's influence on Weezer's [[1996]] album ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in a 1997 Guitar World interview, stating, "I don't know that we were modeling ''Pinkerton'' on anything in particular, but we really like some of the stuff Steve Albini has done, like the Pixies' ''Surfer Rosa'' [Elektra, 1988] or Nirvana's ''In Utero'' [DGC, 1993]." | |||
Under the pseudonym [[Goat Punishment]], Weezer performed a six-song set of Nirvana covers in 1999 ("Mr. Moustache", "Aneurysm", "Breed", "Dive", "Swap Meet", and "Blew"). Cuomo was known to have been studying Cobain's compositions (as well as those by Green Day and [[Oasis]]) during Weezer's hiatus from 1997 to 2000. | Under the pseudonym [[Goat Punishment]], Weezer performed a six-song set of Nirvana covers in 1999 ("Mr. Moustache", "Aneurysm", "Breed", "Dive", "Swap Meet", and "Blew").
