_Kyle_ Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 well I wouldn't want him to quit the boards again because we weren't being pro blink 182 enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 He cries about Feldmann all the time, to the point of making Weasel memes about him. You should get along just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he made a website with a picture of his face with duct tape over it or something like that and said he couldn't talk about what happened, clearly implying it was shady af. He use to be on either MSN Messenger or AIM back in the day and would talk to fans. I talked to him a few times but every time you would bring up AVA he would always say "He can't talk about it" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Huh, has to be an NDA then. Most people after 10 years have gone by would say something. He has no personal loyalty to Tom, in fact, seem to dislike him. So there is no incentive, other than Tom could take his ass to court over it. But clearly if you have to sign an NDA, then obviously its something. Tom is fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I know Weezer legally couldn't talk about why their bass player Mikey suddenly left the band. I think once he finally died, they said something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 there was definately something very sketchy going on with ryan leaving. i'm glad he did, he seems like a great guy but was a terrible fit for AVA. and matt's a super cool dude. will we ever get full disclosure about everything that happend? what a great movie that would be! maybe i just don't know a lot of others bands history as well but damn, those dudes are weird as fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also the era where RC was supposedly suing his bandmates for playing the wrong notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think he had a mental breakdown, brought on by the touring/ quick success/ and drug issues. I think he just like freaked out and ended up in a mental hospital mid tour. I didn't hear about that RC lawsuit but it doesn't shock me, he is another oddball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this was pre-Make Believe that he was a complete tool to his band-mates. I think Welsh was a good fit in terms of looks and attitude (reminded a bit of like Matt to be honest), but he burned out quick. They even filmed a new Island In The Sun's video with a completely new concept, etc after he left. Which is probably why they only had two videos from that album if you don't count the tour version of Photograph. I figure after Matt left, nobody was around to call Rivers on his shit, and thus he would be so despondent to everyone, not even make eye contact with them, etc. I was heavy into them during the 2000-2005 era and I was rather shocked at how dysfunctional they kind of were, and seemingly weird Rivers was. Like The Get Up Kids toured with them and never met Rivers. They weren't just some goofy 20 year old nerds who liked indie rock and metal, which is how I assumed they were from interviews and music videos.

Then I met them and saw Pinkerton live and I felt the only direction left to go with them was down, so I kind of just closed the book on it. Rivers is definitely bizarre, he seems to have many different phases. His constant appearance changes seem to reflect his constant personality changes. For example he once said he'd never wear his glasses again because he said it was a gimmick. Then a year later and he was wearing them again. I think the 2000-2003 era was like a shut in phase for him. Where he didn't associate with anyone and was an arrogant asshole. Then he did a complete reversal and agreed to all kinds of meet and greets, cruises, Pinkerton album tours. Probably getting married had something to do with it. But these days I have heard he is reverting back to how he was during 2000-2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth a read because I think Rivers got a lot better after this time and figured himself out better. I actually think the 00s Weezer is pretty alright, but I just haven't been really into them since Hurley, and that was after they gimmicked themselves to death. I do still consider the 90s their peak and pretty much enjoyable from top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be a reason to not hire someone in the first place. More than likely the guy just didn't meld and they clashed musically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Value Boy Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 An AVA orgy sounds like the worst thing ever, those poor poor girls. Can just imagine it now, David Kennedy is as bad at sex as he is at guitar and spends all night trying to find a clitorus while Atom Willard watches on and nervously and knocks one out in the corner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
