"Love Explosion" | "Love Explosion", under its original title, "Do You Want Me to Stay?", is first known to have been demoed by the band during [[SnS Demos|sessions at Sage & Sound Studios]] in Hollywood from [[August 29]] to [[September 8]], [[2001]]. The song was thereafter performed live at Weezer concerts beginning on [[September 12]] and remaining in live set lists through November. Rough mixes of the song were recorded at [[Steakhouse Demos|Steakhouse Studios]] throughout late October of that year. The band (under the name "[[Goat Punishment]]") also performed the song at [[Weezer concert: 10/24/2001 - Los Angeles, CA|a concert at The Knitting Factory in Los Angeles]], which was filmed for the HBO television series ''Reverb'' (though the song was broadcast). The song continued to be demoed [[Cello Demos|during sessions at Cello Studios]] in early November, and was included on a set of demos from this period jokingly referred to by the band as "[[The Black Album (2001)|The Black Album]]". The song is not known to have been attempted again until the following January, during the [[Maladroit Demos|''Maladroit'' sessions]] at [[Cello Studios]], where it was re-titled "Love Explosion". The song, during these sessions, initially featured wholly rewritten lyrics and was among over 100 in-progress ''Maladroit'' demos released to fans on [[weezer.com]], with the final demo released having been recorded [[January 12]]th. The song was not heard by fans again until its appearance on the final album, where it featured again-revised lyrics more similar to that of the initial "Sage & Sound" demo. | ||
In a [[Football365.com interview with Karl Koch - September 21, 2009|fan-interview]] with [[Karl Koch]] in [[2009]], Koch stated that Weezer drummer [[Pat Wilson]] considered "Love Explosion" to be the worst Weezer song, to which Koch added, "I think [I'm] with him on that." | |||
