The End of Weezer?
Rivers Cuomo strongly suggested in a recent interview that his band Weezer may be a thing of the past.
According to the Harvard-educated singer, there hasn’t been much communication between him and the other band members recently, though there’s no bad blood.
“[T]he band is all back in Los Angeles, and I sometimes speak with Patrick, and I occasionally email with Brian and Scott, but we’ve never mentioned getting together,” the recently-married Cuomo told MTV News from his in-laws’ house in Japan. “And I’m not certain we’ll ever make a record again, unless it becomes really obvious to me that we need to do one.”
However, that doesn’t mean that Cuomo has given up on songwriter — apparently he’s been busily massing material without any particular release in mind.
“All this year I’ve been feeling pretty creative and excited, so I’ve been writing a lot,” Cuomo said. “I certainly don’t see them becoming Weezer songs, and I don’t really see the point of a solo career. So we’ll just have to see.”
