Weezerpedia's featured quote is a monthly showcase of a quote from our bibliography. Weezerpedia currently has hundreds of interviews, record reviews, articles, and more, and our editors work together each month to select one that sheds light on the bands/topics we cover, highlights or "platforms" a band we want to support, etc. We have similar pages for featured songs, featured videos, featured articles, and featured images. Weezerpedia:Featured list is being put on hiatus for a spell.

Current featured quote

Featured quote: Rivers Cuomo interviewed on metal, alternative music, and songwriting; July 1994.

"It started out innocently enough with KISS, Twisted Sister and Motley Crue," [Cuomo] says. "Then I got into Metallica and Slayer. After a while, though, it just seemed like all the cool new bands were alternative. Metal got old and stale... As I got older, I also started questioning some of the lyrics - what is Bruce Dickinson singing about and how does it apply to my life?"

Lyrics have come to mean a lot to Cuomo, who is currently writing songs for Weezer's second album. Before they head back to the studio, however, they're hitting the road. They will open for Lush at the Odeon this Wednesday, July 27.

"I just want to write songs that honestly express how I feel and make them sound really good on a format that you can listen to in your home," he says. "I promise I'll never make an album unless I have at least 10 great songs."
