<\/div>\n

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions have sometimes meant big reunions with long-lost band members (see R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Eagles, Heart, et al) \u2014 and other times, no big reunion at all (Kiss, Guns N\u2019 Roses). With this year marking the 25th anniversary of their debut (which we\u2019re celebrating with our just-published feature on their origin story<\/a> and more to come), Weezer<\/a> will be eligible for the next class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If and when they get inducted, founding bassist Matt Sharp<\/a>, who parted ways with the band after 1995\u2019s Pinkerton<\/em>, won\u2019t be interested in reuniting with Weezer onstage at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t imagine so,\u201d Sharp tells Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cI can\u2019t see music quite like that. I\u2019m grateful for any support given to me because I know it\u2019s a privilege. The idea of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems like\u2026 I can\u2019t quite get my head around what that is or what its purpose is. I don\u2019t really think of music in that competitive nature \u2014 how many three pointers did we make? But if something like that were to happen, it\u2019s their<\/em> moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weezer\u2019s current bassist, Scott Shriner<\/a>, has been in the band since 2001, and Sharp wants to defer to him. \u201cScott\u2019s been in the band many years longer than I was at this point,\u201d Sharp says. \u201cIt\u2019s been a minute. And I would want him to have his space and enjoy that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharp has an album in the can with his longtime project the Rentals<\/a>, this time assisted by Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and producer Dave Fridmann (who engineered part of Pinkerton<\/em>), which he hopes to put out in the near future. Sharp and Cuomo have long-since reconciled any differences between them, even playing onstage together in 2004; they  hung out together as recently as this summer.<\/p>\n
