In August 2000, the re-united Wezeer played at the Fuji Festival.
Cuomo was in depression, making his room entirely black. Nevertheless, the repetitions were no use, artists conflicted with each other - all resulted in Welsh’s departure to his native Portland. As Sharp did not re-unite Weezer, Welsh substituted him on drums. However, in February 1998, Cuomo changed his mind and came back to Los Angeles. In spite of the constantly shifting lineup, Mikey Welsh was the regular drummer for the group. Around the same time, Rivers Cuomo came back to his native Boston and began writing new songs after he gathered a new band. They began working over their side-projects: Sharp played with The Rentals Wilson labored with The Special Goodness, while Bryan Bell performed with his command Space Twins. In the summer of 1997, the musicians finished the support tour for Pinkerton and took a break. Some songs can be heard in different collections. Some of the songs entered the Pinkerton long-play in 1996, which is considered as one of the best albums by Weezer. Around the same time, Cuomo started writing the material that was supposed to be the bulk of the conceptual disc Songs From The Black Hole. In December 1994, the band made a pause in the tour to recreate. In 2004, Weezer re-released the disc as Weezer: Deluxe Edition.
The second song Buddy Holly, devoted to the popular artist, also became a rock hit. The track titled Undone - The Sweater Song became the hit that year, while the video for it was in heavy rotation on MTV.
During the recording process, guitarist Jason Cropper left the band, and Bryan Bell substituted him. In 1994, they finished their famous eponymous disc, also known as The Blue Album. Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp and Jason Cropper founded Weezer in 1992.
