Reeves once played bass for the band Weezer in its early stage. He is also an avid follower of ice hockey, American football, surfing, table tennis and soccer. He enjoys riding his numerous motorcycles and coined the term “demon ride” to describe riding fast with the headlights off, at night. Reeves can wax poetic about such rides: “This girl was just the most rockin’ girl in the world you could have on the back of a bike because she was…fearless. One night, it was like 12:30, at the time I was practicing doing wheelies, and she said, ‘let’s go!’ So we went on the freeway and it was just magic. She would grab me - she had these really great breasts and really long hair - and we had no helmets and no goggles and we were going like a hundred and thirty miles an hour on five lanes of freeway, with not a soul in sight. And this incredible cloudless moon just hangin’ there…I’ve had some of the best times of my life on a motorcycle.” Not all demon rides were so happy. On one such ride in 1988, Reeves crashed near Topanga Canyon and broke several ribbands ruptured his spleen. He has had an abdominal scar ever since.

Reeves is a hockey player, a prolific reader with an outstanding memory–he showed up for the production of Hamlet having memorized the entire play–and a lover of Shakespeare. He’s left-handed, but plays the bass guitar right-handed. He loves punk bands such as The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Joy Division. He has a taste for Indie Rock and is a fan of They Might Be Giants and Crooked Fingers, besides as Mary J Blige and R&B legends Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding.

In a 1992 December 31 party show, Reeves completed on bass for punk band The Vandals while bassist Joe Escalante was at a wedding. He began playing the bass with rock group Dogstar, which has now gone “into hibernation.” Reeves also had a part in New York thrash metal band Anthrax’s “Safe Home” music video. More recently, he played bass in a band called Becky with former Dogstar drummer Rob Mailhouse, guitarist Paulie Kosta and singer Rebecca Lord. In early 2005, he announced that he was leaving the band and his musical career permanently
