Released in [[1996]], the song is known for its abrasive sound. In this song, Weezer lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] sings of meaningless groupie sex encounters, reciting his list of conquests and wondering why true love eludes him. Along with [[My Name Is Jonas]], the song has been a staple of Weezer's live shows, and it was consistently used at the very beginning of concerts. | ||
Beginning with a bit of feedback, heavy drums begin the song after a cymbal count-in. Keyboards and lead guitar (in unison) are joined by a bass line, followed by vocals. The main guitar riff doesn't even come into the picture until after the first chorus. Appropriately, "Tired of Sex" features one of Cuomo' most incendiary guitar solos. He would later hint in a guitar magazine interview that the solo was ripped off; he said it was essentially an amalgam of multiple solos by Scorpions lead guitarist Matthias Jabs. The song has a false ending, then kicks back in after a famous bass double-take by former bassist [[Matt Sharp]], for a few more repetitions of the main riff. | Beginning with a bit of feedback, heavy drums begin the song after a cymbal count-in.
