[JULY 2024] Songsterr tab for Rivers Cuomo's "Lisa" has been completed and uploaded, as per user request!
"Lisa" is a demo that was released as part of Rivers' demo collection Alone III: The Pinkerton Years in 2011. In both lyrical content and composition, this track feels more like a Blue-era track akin to "Jamie" or "Susanne". However, its use of a talk box / vocoder effect during the solo reminds me of the Songs from the Black Hole demo "Blast Off", which makes me wonder if that partially influenced why some people thought "Lisa" was originally a part of SFTBH, according to Weezerpedia.
The lower audio fidelity of this track made it a bit harder to tab out, as it was sometimes hard to discern what each guitar was playing or what harmony Rivers was following with each vocal line. However, it was still fun to tackle, and I particularly like the key change during the solo and the somewhat calmer bridge section.
In the Alone III version of Susanne, you can hear the line "Even Izzy, Slash, and Axl Rose" was originally "Even Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose" The line was changed for the Blue Album version as Kurt had died very recently before the album released.
A glorious moment for Rivers on the day after his operation
