Bell then joined [[Weezer]] in 1993 during the recording of ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]'', replacing [[Jason Cropper]]. Since then he has remained a member of Weezer. Besides doing backup vocals and playing rhythm guitar and lead guitar on the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' classics "[[El Scorcho]]" and "[[Why Bother?]]", as well as on [[Van Weezer]], Bell takes on many of the multi-instrumental duties during live shows. When songs call for the use of a keyboard or harmonica, Bell often plays them. | Bell then joined [[Weezer]] in 1993 during the recording of ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]'', replacing [[Jason Cropper]].
