After many shows with [[Homie]], Rivers continued his "songwriting machine", recording more demos than ever before, which eventually led to the reformation of Weezer. With all of his new material, all of Weezer recorded demos and headed right into the Warped tour, and which would eventually lead up to the Summer Songs of 2000 tour (or Ss2K for short). In an interview with Yahoo!, Rivers stated if they weren't on the tour he would "still be in my room wanting to play music."After the tour was over, Rivers had build a new home-studio, which he and the band used to record [[The Christmas CD]] (after which Rivers had his braces removed) and what would become [[The Green Album]]. | After many shows with [[Homie]], Rivers continued his "songwriting machine", recording more demos than ever before, which eventually led to the reformation of Weezer.
