On [[April 30]], [[2020]] the June [[2020]] issue of the magazine ''Guitar Player'' appeared online and confirmed "I Need Some of That" as a ''Van Weezer'' track:<blockquote>''Similar hard-rock references abound throughout Van Weezer, including the note-for-note cribbing of Randy Rhoads' iconic riff from Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" in "[[Blue Dream]]," the fist-pumping solo that highlights "She Needs Me" and the bombastic drum salvo that opens "I Need Some of That." which is itself a note-perfect re-creation of the beat that kicks off Quiet Riot's 1983 hesher anthem "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)."</blockquote>
Rivers Cuomo previously confirmed in a 2001 interview that seeing friends of his performing "Metal Health" by Quiet Riot during his 8th-grade graduation party inspired him to learn to play guitar [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys9Sl7V0L2Y&feature=youtu.be&t=1347].
