Cropper on leaving Weezer However, in an interview with Olivier FLAGEUL, Cropper showed no regret in leaving Weezer, even before they became rock superstars. When asked if he ever would want to officially return to the band, Cropper replied: "No, because they paid me for what I did on that record just like if I was in the band, and on top of that, I didn't have to hang out with those guys anymore and we weren't really friends anymore and I was sleeping with Rivers' girlfriend when I left the band. So it was like I could stay and be with a bunch of guys that I hated and wanted dead or go out on my own and do my own thing and still make the money and still do the girl. So I don't regret it at all; I mean, maybe a little bit in that I could have, you know, been a bigger rock star and been really, really rich or something, but, you know, I got to be with my family. I have a 5 year old daughter with my wife Amy who sings and co-writes with me in Chopper One and I don't regret missing out on Weezer stuff because it was always very difficult to work with those guys; they're very particular. It was very stressful and I was glad when it was over; it was a relief. I am also glad to hear that they may be breaking up." But recently, Cropper has stated that he did not mean to be offensive, but he was angry at the time of the interview and says that Weezer were 'dicks'.
