Weezer: Difference between revisions

Also around this time, Rivers became very interested in what fans had to say about Weezer.  To Rivers, the fans on Weezer boards acted the same as a record producer, but their insight was often better.  They knew Weezer better, they were not motivated by money, and they were easy to talk to.  Setting up a message board, Rivers began corresponding with fans, first through Karl, and eventually on his own under the username "Ace" (a reference to [[Ace Frehley]]).  During a given day, Weezer would go into the studio, record all new songs, post them online for fans to download and critique, then the next day they would take the advice into consideration and attempt new lyrics, bridges, arrangements, etc.  Eventually, relationships between Rivers and the fans grew less and less friendly.  Rivers, angered with the fans attacking his new songs and loving only his old ones, wrote the song "[[Space Rock]]", which chronicles the relationship he had with his fans.  Still, Rivers and Weezer did indeed take the advice of the fans.  Even the album's name, ''[[Maladroit]]'', was a fan suggestion.
