More reasons to love weezer

Somewhere between "Hash Pipe" and "Dope Nose" Weezer got hooked. It started during the recording sessions for Maladroit and "it's gotten stupider ever since," to put it in their own words. It has consumed countless hours of their time and has in many ways shaped Weezer into the band they are today. More mellow. More honest. More content.

"I don't know how it happened," says drummer Pat Wilson. "Somehow foosball has just become immensely important to our day."

"We spend hours on the foosball table every day, and we just totally mellow out," singer Rivers Cuomo adds. "We play it very seriously, but there's no, like, negative sense of competition. We just bond over the foosball table."
