The abandoned space opera we all know and love was originally actually conceived to be about a bar called "The Black Hole". Remnants from this era were documented in [[The Pinkerton Diaries]]. | The abandoned space opera we all know and love was originally actually conceived to be about a bar called "The Black Hole".

===[[Homie|Unreleased 'Homie' album]]=== | |||
Rivers Cuomo apparently recorded an entire album of material as [[Homie]] at Fort Apache Studios with Drew Parsons on bass and Fred Eltringham on drums in the fall of 1997. | |||
===Abandoned Third Album Efforts=== | |||
Following Rivers' return to Los Angeles in early 1998, the band hired [[Mikey Welsh]] to take over bass duties for the recently departed [[Matt Sharp]]. Weezer spent the spring and summer developing and demoing more than 20 songs that Rivers had written since the fall of 1997, with the intent to finish an album by the end of the year. Weezer recorded a session at Mouse House Studios for their cover of [[Velouria]], which also resulted in laying down tracks for [[Everyone]] and [[Trampoline]]. Much of this material was described as simple, riff-oriented, aggressive rock. Unable to settle on a direction, Weezer never moved out of the demo making process and [[Pat Wilson]], fed up with the lack of progress, left LA. Rivers, Brian and Mikey played two cover shows as [[Goat Punishment]] before Rivers decided to isolate himself to focus on songwriting. | |||

Had many, many, many | Had many, many, many different songs initially in the running. Had things gone a little differently in the studio, The Green Album could've actually been completely different in terms of what songs we have vs. don't than it is today. | ||
Rivers allegedly had several different colors of the same picture, and it was originally intended to be the White Album, but he thought green stood out the most, and so we have The Green Album. | Rivers allegedly had several different colors of the same picture, and it was originally intended to be the White Album, but he thought green stood out the most, and so we have The Green Album. | ||
