Weezer i 2005

Bandet er ledet av vokalist/gitarist Rivers Cuomo og har gitt ut 13 musikkalbum og en DVD. Totalt har de solgt over 17 millioner album. Cropper sluttet før utgivelsen av det selvtitulerte blå debutalbumet (The Blue Album) i 1994. Han ble erstattet av Brian Bell. Etter det andre albumet Pinkerton (1996) sluttet bassist Matt Sharp for å konsentrere seg om sitt sideprosjekt The Rentals på heltid. Han ble erstattet av Mikey Welsh før innspillingen av det tredje albumet The Green Album. Welsh bidro ikke på flere album, og ble erstattet av Scott Shriner sommeren 2001. Siden det har Weezer vært uforandret.
