Rivers Cuomo Was Scared

Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the rock band Weezer, has released a solo set of at-home demos called Alone and Alone II. The CDs feature demo versions of songs from Weezer’s albums, as well as a few original songs and outtakes not heard before.
In March 2008, Cuomo asked fans to submit song ideas via a collaborative project on YouTube called “Let’s Write A Sawng.” The project featured YouTube videos of Cuomo walking fans through his process of songwriting as he worked with submissions from fans.
