| Rivers [[Rolling Stone interview with Rivers Cuomo - June 26, 2008|told]] [[Rolling Stone]] magazine in 2008:
| |
| "I was working at Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard in the spring of '91, and another cashier, Harold, said, 'Hey, Rivers, I know something you might like. It's called Nirvana.' As soon as I heard 'Mom and Dad went to a show,' I immediately started dancing around. It was exactly how I felt, and they were putting it to music. It inspired me to do the same thing."

| Weezer performed "Sliver" live many times in 2008 during the [[Troublemaker Tour]]. During the show, Karl Koch would come out on stage prior to the encore, set up a record player, and play "[[Heart Songs]]". Cuomo would then come out and smash the record player at the point of the song that recalls hearing Nirvana for the first time. Scott and Pat would then come on stage, and play Nirvana's "Sliver" as a three-piece.
