==Overview== | |||
"Galactus" was recorded by Rivers Cuomo to 8-track in the summer of [[1991]] while living at [[2914 Urban Ave.]] in West Los Angeles.<ref>[[Recording History - Page 2|Weezer Recording History - Page 2]]</ref> Cuomo purportedly later destroyed the master. The song's title is, presumably, inspired by the [[Wikipedia:Galactus|Marvel Comics character of the same name]]. Cuomo uploaded a [[:File:84-Galactus.jpg|scan]] of his original handwritten lyrics to [[riverscuomo.com|his personal website]] in the early 2000s. A 17-second partial clip from Cuomo's demo tape, ''[[The Yeastmaster]]'', was released in [[2020]] as part of the demo compilation ''[[Alone V: Before Weezer]]''. | |||
