I get surprised every time I watch Weezer perform Tired of Sex in the 06/21/2000 live show as if I haven't already seen that video before. BRO THEY'RE PLAYING THE SONG FROM PINKERTON !!! In the year 2000!!!

[MAY 2025] Songsterr Tab for Weezer's "Peace and Quiet" has been completed and uploaded, as per user request!

Via Weezerpedia, "Peace and Quiet" is a track from the Summer Songs of 2000 (SS2K) era which was performed live numerous times but never officially released. The recording that this tab was based on is one of their live versions—specifically, I believe it was the "extended" version described on Weezerpedia which features a duplicated second verse.

I find this track kind of interesting because, although it has the feel of a Maladroit (2002) track with its chugging chords, complex drumbeat, and lyrical content, it also does the thing from Green (2001) where the solo is is simply the vocal melody from the verses but played on guitar. I also really enjoy the dichotomy between the chugging/dissonant feel of the verses (and its complicated drumbeat) to the energetic, harmony-filled choruses (featuring a simpler, driving drumbeat with a snare hit on every beat).

[APR 2025] Songsterr Tab for Weezer's "On The Edge" has been completed and uploaded, as per user request!

"On The Edge" is the third track from Weezer's demo album Summer Songs of 2000, also known as SS2K. According to Weezerpedia, this collection from 2001 consists of songs that the band recorded and performed live in 2000 as part of their comeback tour, and the album has a gritty, high-octane feel that is perfectly encompassed by "On The Edge", in addition to "Superstar"—another track from the LP that I tabbed out previously. It also features hits that would be incorporated into their later albums like "Hash Pipe" from Green (2001) as well as "Dope Nose" and "Slob" from Maladroit (2002).

The recording of "On The Edge" had a pretty poor fidelity which made it hard at times to make out the bass and guitars, although—like with "Superstar"—this was made up for by the simple composition, which (from what I could tell) only consisted of two distorted guitars, a bass, drums, and vocals. I've made that point many times before for other tabs, but it is still nonetheless something I appreciate, since it is surprising how many instruments some of Weezer's later tracks incorporate, which make them quite a doozy to deconstruct.
