When we caught up with the pair before their gig at Manchester’s O2 Apollo at the end of 2017, we were keen to pick the pair’s brains about the way they work together as guitar players, and also about the unique and iconic guitars they were strapping on for that evening’s show. It’s quite a departure from a sound that fans would associate with the band, but it speaks to the way the pair’s guitar relationship has developed over time. The record, which was released at the tail end of last year, has some of the most unusual guitar work seen during the band’s 24-year existence, with layered acoustic guitars, lo-fi blues-rock licks and retro slapback all in evidence in hitherto unseen quantities. The complimentary differences between the pair’s guitar styles are clearly in evidence on Weezer’s latest album, Pacific Daydream. Rivers’ three stage guitars – his trusty Warmoth S-types ‘Mei’ and ‘Satsuki’, and his Gibson SG, ‘Courtney’ The flipside of the Weezer guitar coin is Brian Bell – Weezer’s second guitarist is a perfect foil to his band leader, holding the whole thing together with sensitive guitar parts and perfectly judged vocal harmonies. The embodiment of an awkward musical genius, Weezer’s bespectacled frontman isn’t just a wonderful songwriter with a knack for a catchy pop hook – he’s also a guitarist who grew up worshipping at the altar of 80s heavy metal, and he rarely wastes an opportunity to demonstrate that he can shred a neoclassical solo with the best of them. But none of those wannabes had Rivers Cuomo. But while the basic Weezer recipe is a beautifully simple blend of classic chord progressions and singalong choruses, the band have endured when dozens of imitators have fallen by the wayside, chalking off 11 studio albums in the process.
