The End of The Game

"The End of the Game" is a rock track by Weezer, released on September 10, 2019, as the lead single from their fifteenth studio album, Van Weezer (2021). The song signals a heavier, guitar-driven direction for the band, making it a rewarding piece for electric guitar players to explore. Its energetic riffs and straightforward rock structure offer a solid entry point for guitarists looking to study modern power-pop and hard rock techniques.

  • Released in 2019, the track was the first glimpse of Weezer's Van Weezer album, which leaned heavily into hard rock guitar tones.
  • Weezer performed the song live on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the same day it was released in September 2019.
  • The official music video starred members of American rock band Cherry Glazerr, though they do not play on the recording itself.

Brian Bell's primary rhythm instrument, its bright single-coil pickups add sparkle and cutting presence that contrasts with Rivers Cuomo's humbuckers, creating Weezer's signature two-guitar width.

Rivers Cuomo's core studio guitar, its stock PAF humbuckers deliver warm, medium-output tone that responds to pick dynamics and keeps palm-muted chugs defined without muddiness.

Cuomo's most iconic guitar, the SG's bright, punchy humbuckers cut through at high gain while maintaining definition, essential to Weezer's thick, midrange-forward crunch tone.

The heart of Weezer's tone, Cuomo cranks this amp for natural tube saturation that delivers warm, compressed crunch without fizz, pushing mids for that signature bark.

Used for heavier Weezer tones, this amp adds aggressive low-end heft and tighter gain response when the band needs more saturation beyond the JCM800's natural warmth.
