I think there is a very subtle shift from the metal I grew up on to Weezer. I think the big shift was from a minor key to a major key. That made a huge difference in how it was perceived.

I never feel guilty about liking music.

If enough people out there want a physical product, I'll be happy to make one. I'd say about 10,000 people is "enough."

I find that I end up liking songs if I really have an idea of something I wat to write about-some problem in my life or something I want to work through; if I don't have something like that at the root of the song, then I think I end up not caring about it as much. I gravitate towards some kind of concept or idea or situation that I want to write about. Very often I have to write, rewrite and come at it from an opposite angle...and I end up writing the opposite song that I thought I was going to write.

I have no interest in emo. I'm all about rap metal.

I enjoy listening to the albums of my youth as much as ever.
