Karl was with the band members well before Weezer's material was being written; once even driving the members of Weezer around California for early shows in his large van, Bessy. Karl is considered by many to be the number one authority on all things Weezer. In addition to running Weezer's website, Karl posts daily updates in his own news feature called [[Karl's Corner]]. His production credits include the band's DVD, [[Video Capture Device]] and videos for "[[Pink Triangle]]", "[[Photograph]]", "[[Slob]]", the music video for [[The Special Goodness]]' "[[Life Goes By]]" of which Weezer's [[Patrick Wilson|Pat Wilson]] is a member, and the video for "[[Blast Off!]]" from [[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]] by Weezer frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]]. Karl offers a unique and less biased opinion than the members of Weezer. He often posts on the [[Albumsix]] forums under the name [[Karlophone]]. | Karl was with the band members well before Weezer's material was being written; once even driving the members of Weezer around California for early shows in his large van, Bessy.
