On Thursday, Weezer fans got an opportunity to ask Rivers Cuomo anything they wanted.
Cuomo participated in the always-fun section of Reddit called "AMA" (Ask Me Anything), in which users can lob questions at a celebrity subject, who decides what he or she wants to answer.
We've compiled the greatest hits from Thursday's (somewhat boring) session. Cuomo's answers are in bold.
Do you have any special pre-show ritual you have to do before you go on anywhere? Or any rituals specific to do for a particular city or region?
Scott [Shriner] and I have to play frisbee for at least 10 minutes before every show. It helps warm up our hands, concentrate our minds, and get us in our own little world.
What's the craziest thing a fan has ever sent you?
Twice I've gotten fan mail at my house for Brandon Boyd, the singer of Incubus. Two different houses even.
What is your favorite hobby when you're not making music?
Going to Shakespeare plays.
Rivers, what do you think when you look back at yourself in the 90's?
We rule.
Hi Rivers! Would the band consider a camp instead of a cruise for 2016? :)
How about both?
Hi rivers! I met you on the cruise and you were super shy, as was I.... You are a huge role model to me, and I totally respect your work and your personality. But my question is, what is going through your mind when you meet us? Is it being overwhelmed? Annoyance? Happiness? Hope to meet you again in Atlanta! -Mariah
I usually like to hear what you're excited about right now in your life. Whether it's a book, a movie, another band, or some new hobby. Teach me something. Tell me something I don't already know.
Hi Rivers! Have you ever thought to turn EWBAITE or SFTBH into a live Broadway musical like Green Day did with American Iidot?
Honestly I'm 100% satisfied creatively artistically physically mentally and emotionally, playing these EWBAITE shows. They have been the greatest musical experience of my life. I haven't had any need to think of future steps at the moment.
Weezer dropped Everything Will Be Alright In The End in October, a record that, in many ways, returned the band to their '90s sound.
