Thank you weezer.com for a ton of info! Quick Stats: Name: Scott Shriner Birthday: 7/11/65 Sign: Cancer Hometown(s): Toledo, OH/Los Angeles, CA Marital Status: Single In His Spare Time: Video games, movies, naps For Weezer He: Plays bass, backing vocals Click here for more Scott stats! By me: Scott was born on July 11th, 1965. That would make him 37 years old for those of you with math issues. Don't feel bad- math is Satan! Anyway- He was born in Toledo, Ohio. Scott came to LA in the 90's and played in quite a few bands. He was sort of a temporary 4th man when Mikey was in the in and out phase. When Mikey did leave in 2001, Scott was there to stay! By weezer.com: "Rivers got my number thru a mutual contact, but I didn't know about it. So when he called me I thought it was a practical joke! 'Yeah right, you're Rivers Cuomo, uh huh'. But it sort of dawned on me: this guy's being too serious to be making a joke!" Everyone hit it off really well, and the 3 'veteran' weezer men felt a rapidly growing kinship with the very experienced and professional Scott. When Mikey's absence became a permanent thing, Scott was asked to stay with Weezer and he accepted the offer with a big smile. He brings a bit of the hard rock to the band, having played in some pretty heavy bands in the past. When asked who his favorite bands are, he immediately says "Led Zeppelin", and ponders a bit before adding "Humble Pie- but only the Peter Frampton years!" However, lurking inside this rock machine is an extremely talented and multifaceted bass player, whose wide experience has made him a very quick study to the Weezer style! Scott is a guy who has a firm grasp on reality and takes his music very seriously, but who is also extremely friendly and very funny. Welcome to Weezer, Scott! "I feel that my sole mission in life is to bring the rock to the people. And I really mean that. People need to have rock brought to them. The rock saved my life as a kid, and I'll do anything for rock, bro!" |
