Weezer

[Clunge]

Maladroit is easily my favourite Weezer album, followed by Blue and Red. Pinkerton is good too and then Green and Make Believe are pretty arse, Green less so than Make Believe.

[Velouria]

I always buck the Weezer fan trend in that I love Green and Maladroit, and am not a massive fan of Pinkerton.

[greg]

how can you lot not rate pinkerton as not only weezers best effort, but one of the best albums of all time?!!!

blue is on a par though for me, both are incredible.

it went rapidly down hill from there. a few good tracks on the red album though, and make believe is listenable if i forget they made two of the best albums ever.

[Clunge]

How can everyone dislike Maladroit?

Dope Nose, American Gigolo, Take Control, Burndt Jamb, Love Explosion and Keep Fishin'!

[Velouria]

How can everyone dislike Maladroit?

Dope Nose, American Gigolo, Take Control, Burndt Jamb, Love Explosion and Keep Fishin'!

Indeed, Maladroit has some brilliant stuff on it.

[Clunge]

Just finished my first exam, Dope Nose just came on.

The world feels good now :happy:.

[Burning_October]

Just wanted to update everyone on the 7th album:

- Rumored collabrations are: Dr. Dre, Aly & AJ, Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri (the guy that wrote "We Belong Together"), and Mark Hoppus.

- For touring at least, Pat is playing guitar and drums are taken over by Josh Freese. Rivers isn't playing guitar.

- Rivers got rid of the mustache (thank goodness).

- It will either be released in early summer or late fall (I think that they're designing the release around the Blink tour).

- A rumoured release date is July 14th.

- Rivers is forcing everyone to wear lab coats during recording, for some reason.

- The band are saying that the next album is gonna be exciting.

- Karl is involved with the album and says that it's his "Weezer dream project".

Also, Pinkerton Deluxe may be released on August 25th (:eek:), and Weezer are releasing their own brand of Snuggies and "Wuggies" (:LOL:). Also, some fans are putting together an 8-bit Weezer album, which should be neat.

muP9eH2p2PI

:LOL: love their clips!

[Clunge]

Oh gawd, those collaborations fill me with dread :(.

FFS, just fucking tour the fucking UK! KJABHJGiheajbafajsfaksf.

[Ghosty Ghost]

Just wanted to update everyone on the 7th album:

-It will suck balls, just like the last three.



:(

[Clunge]

Red had a few great songs, Troublemaker, The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived and Pork And Beans are up there with my favourite Weezer songs.

Make Believe was abysmal though :LOL:.

[Ghosty Ghost]

Troublemaker, really? I think that has the most embarrassing lyrics I've ever heard.

[Clunge]

I don't care about lyrics on the whole - it's got a good riff, catchy melody and is short and sweet. Reminds me of their earlier succinct choons :happy:.

[Ghosty Ghost]

Fair call, but I can't listen past anything that bad :facepalm:

[Milky Joe]

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is an incredible song. Any album with that on it, cannot be considered bad (maybe inconsistent, but not bad).

[Burning_October]

The deluxe tracks are where it's at with Red. Miss Sweeney, Pig, King, all beat out pretty much 70% of the actual album tracks.

[Clunge]

I thought the bonus tracks were absolutely laughably bad tbh :LOL:.

C-Sides at best.

[Bixer]

Wait, hang on, they're already planning to release the next album soon?

Didn't the red album JUST come out? They didn't even do any touring for it whatsoever

[Velouria]

I thought King was awesome, but the rest of the bonus tracks didn't really appeal.

I can't listen to Pig because it's so sad. :$ :LOL:

[Milky Joe]

"Nobody likes you, except for the losers" :happy:

[Burning_October]

King would've been better with Rivers on vocals, in my opinion. With Scott, it just sounds like Nickelback :LOL:.

Just wanted to say, for some reason, Rivers is giving the song "Love Is The Answer" to Sugar Ray, and it will appear on their next album. Love Is The Answer is one of the "fallen soldiers", which were tracks that were recorded for and originally put on Make Believe but were taken off due to last minute tracklist changes. We don't have any yet, but we have original demos of Save Me (the version we have is I Was Made For You) and Losing My Mind (the version we have is called My Brain). Both of those are fantastic, far better then most of MB could ever be.

Anyway, Love Is The Answer is very much sought by lots of Weezer fans because clips of it were played in the Making Of Make Believe thing that came with the CD. Apparently the band love it too. The fact that we're getting it for the first time through Sugar Ray is strange.

[mycorona135]

ill be seeing them live with blink 182 and taking back sunday in a couple months.

[MatthieuBelAmi]

The Greatest Man That Has Ever Lived = Weezer's Bohemian Rapsody.

Absolutely epic and one of the greatests tracks ever made.

[StateOfRegression]

woah, calm down man. I don't even think it's the best Weezer song (might be one of the best, but Across the Sea and Falling for You from Pinkerton dwarf it).

[Clunge]

Definitely one of my top 10.

Why does Maladroit gets so beef from Weezer fans? It's my favourite album of their's - American Gigolo, Dope Nose, Keep Fishin', Take Control, Burndt Jamb, Love Explosion - awesome songs!

[Ghosty Ghost]

If anyone still thinks they haven't gone to shit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7SyjKdwfkA

[Clunge]

Oh dearie me...

That was atrocious :stunned:.

However, I still maintain that even their most recent albums have a couple of cracking songs on them despite being buried under mountains of shite.

[Ghosty Ghost]

They were also treated to this cracker:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poLdlrKx3ls

[Clunge]

The lyrics are so so so bad :LOL:.

[StateOfRegression]

well so much for The Red Album.

[Libertine]

The music's pretty standard Weezer, it's fine.

But the lyrics... Jeeeeeeez.

I like the Red album a lot to be honest, not their best of course but I think it's underrated. This is shaping up to be quite bizarre though, I think Rivers must be feeling a bit old. What's the deal with Pat on guitar all the time as well?

[Libertine]

Oh here's another. Carrying on with the 'party' theme...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeYqruNgAck

[Burning_October]

Seriously, fuck this, i'm done with this band.

[Libertine]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzK1s_tTJ8k

First single. Better than the other dross we've heard so far!

[Clunge]

It still sounds abysmal though :(.

[Mushy]

Its Weezer, even if its bad I take it lightly, as I find them to be more of a fun band to listen to.

[Clunge]

And the new album title is... 'Raditude'.

Yup, this is going to be the worst album of 2009.

[kev]

And the new album title is... 'Raditude'.

[StateOfRegression]

that's just fucking ignorance....you obviously haven't heard of brokencyde.

And plus, who gives a fuck if the title sucks; it says NOTHING about the music. Radiohead could name their album "The Return of the Poopoo Fairy" and people would still be calling it the best music to come out in years. Titles mean absolutely nothing when it comes to the music.

[Clunge]

Have you heard the four new songs?

Have you listened to the dross that makes up 90% of their last three albums?

I'm sure ther will be a couple of good'uns on this album but I just can't get over what a horrific album title 'Raditude' is :LOL:.

[Ril]

omg i hope thats a joke :shock:

I hope it's true! It sounds totally rad! :D

Well I liked The Red Album, haven't gotten around to listening to Maladroit, and won't even bother with Make Believe.

[Clunge]

Red had a few great songs on it, despite piss-poor lyrics as one now expects from Weezer.

I'm sure many people will disagree with me but Maladroit is my favourite Weezer album, so many great songs :happy:.

[Ril]

I disagree! :LOL:

Always liked Pinkerton the most.

[teej212]

pinkerton was their second album though, not one of their last three. pinkerton is epic.

but oh boy, raditude...jeez:rolleyes:

[Max]

What a terrible title. :LOL:

[Ril]

I know, I was responding to Clunge. ;)

[StateOfRegression]

that I will agree with.

But I'm gonna go with the general consensus that Pinkerton is their finest work.

[StateOfRegression]

[Libertine]

No it's not.

Come onnnn. :LOL: It's retarded but I kind of like it.

[undercover_bombshell]

So this is the new album coming out? seriously??
ay ay ay!

Ah well. You're right, sounds like HalloWeezer should be a blast! Wonder what kind of antics they'll bust out.

[Libertine]

Leaked.

It's weird. But I'm trying to listening to it with an open mind and am actually quite enjoying it. :LOL: Can't Stop Partying is absurd, just sounds like Lady Gaga.

Let It All Hang Out is a monster of a tune though. :D

[Libertine]

Great video.

[james90]

The song isn't bad, but I'm not sure what I think of the video. Not sure whether to think it's cool or cheesy.

And I'm not really expecting it to be like the first two albums, though I think the red album was a lot better compared to the last few. The songs I've heard so far seem pretty good though.

+1 to all that.

[james90]

so the album is out now. listening to it now....some tracks are better than others i think, but the entire thing isn't too bad...it's a grower i think.

[kev]

i admit my initial hatred for the thing has subsisded somewhat, i think it marks a new low for weezer though. they're such a frustrating band to love.

[james90]

I don't really like it either - there are a few good songs I guess, but the red album was much better.

I wouldn't say this is a new low to be honest - there was make believe...I really didn't like any song on that album at all, but that's just me..

[Libertine]

It reminds me of Make Believe but better. Some of it is absurd, but I kind of love it. ;)

[Ghosty Ghost]

Heh, this short review off 75orless.com made me laugh:

The five stages to grieving the death of the Weezer you knew and loved.

Stage One: Denial (The Green Album... "This is just as good...right?").
Stage Two: Anger (Maladroit... "What the @#*! happened to Weezer?!?!?!!")
Stage Three: Bargaining (Make Believe... "This is Such a Pity is a good song. Maybe they can get good again!")
Stage Four: Depression (The Red Album... "If Pork and Beans is as good as it gets I'm going to stab myself in the head.")
Stage Five: Acceptance (Raditude... "Some of this is actually okay. Silly, but kinda fun.")

[liberty]

Heh, this short review off 75orless.com made me laugh:

:LOL: Brilliant!

I have yet to hear Raditude. I'm actually not quite sure if I want to... :erm:

[Clunge]

I still maintain Maladroit is a great album for the most part :phu:.

Dope Nose is miles better than any of Weezer's classic shorter songs.

[Riversweez]

For those that enjoy Weezer and Raditude:

I am lucky enough to be working on a campaign at work for Weezer and T-mobile CLIQ(I work for a marketing company). Part of the campaign is a contest being run through Facebook which allows people to vote on their preferred university that will host a Weezer concert.

For those interested in voting the site is here (http://youcastcorp.com/c/82/go/index.php?r=0).

Voting ends on November 30th and the current standings are:

1. Florida State University 9713 votes
2. University of Florida 7237 votes
3. Texas A&M University 7148 votes
4. University of California - Santa Barbara 6380 votes
5. Grand Valley State University 5364 votes

[All To No Avail]

This thread needs reviving!
I think Raditude is probably their worst album, songs like Can't Stop Partying make me vomit a little bit. Having said that, If You're Wondering and I'm Your Daddy are good :)
Will definitely be seeing them at Reading this year! :D

[Milky Joe]

I've been waiting for them to play Reading for ages. I expected them in 2008, then thought they were definite in 2009. I kind of didn't expect them as much this year ;)

[New Born Lee]

Hehe, I discovered Pinkerton couple of months ago and it shot straight into my top ten albums. :happy:

[Mushy]

I've been waiting for them to play Reading for ages. I expected them in 2008, then thought they were definite in 2009. I kind of didn't expect them as much this year ;)

As soon as Blink 182 were rumoured/leaked/confirmed-as.common-knowledge-without-being-confirmed, I had a guess that Weezer would play it. I knows its stupid logic, but after supporting them, it kinda makes a bit of sense. Plus Rivers saying they coming to Europe next summer helped fuel my suspicion. I just hope they don't support Blink in Europe, specifically Dublin. Although if they do, I will have to go. Much prefer them on their own...they'd sell nearly as big as Blink as it is. Also disgraceful that Paramore are above them.

Hehe, I discovered Pinkerton couple of months ago and it shot straight into my top ten albums. :happy:

Haha, I think it was Q mag that first reviewed it, gave it like 1/5, saying it was awful and people would be mad to buy it. Years later, reviewing albums of the decade, they re-reviewed it...with egg on their face. Gave it 5/5, up there with best of the decade. Think thats more accurate!

[Ghosty Ghost]

Oh to be young and listening to Pinkerton for the first time again :happy:

[All To No Avail]

I still maintain Maladroit is a great album for the most part :phu:.

Dope Nose is miles better than any of Weezer's classic shorter songs.

This is so true. Keep fishin', Burndt Jamb, Fall together are amazing as well. Probably my second favourite Weezer album behind Pinkerton! I have no idea why it's so ridiculously underrated!:mad:

[escapist]

I haven't listened to Weezer in AGES! I just got The Red Album and Raditude from the library today, and I'm borrowing the other 3 from my boyfriend. <3

[Clunge]

Raditude is so unbelievably shit :LOL:.

They've had their ups and down have Weezer, some excellent stuff, some dire stuff.

[Joseph.]

I like to think they broke up after Pinkerton :LOL:

Can't wait to see them at Bumbershoot this September, should be :awesome:, though I don't know much about their live show. Are the sets primarily New Songs With The Greatest Hits Attached?

[Llama of Time]

Never been a big fan, more just a casual fan. Mostly just knew the hits and like the blue album. But I'm seeing them at Voodoo so I watched some live performances and I'm now excited. They look like a ton of fun.

but I do plan to listen to pinkerton and the blue album and whatever else again before I go like i do with every band at these things :p

Then bare in mind that they barely play any of Pinkerton, despite it being their best album (imo). So don't listen to it unless you feel like being blown away, and then disappointed that they play 1 song tops off it (probably Why Bother or El Scorcho).

[Burning_October]

Can't wait to see them at Bumbershoot this September, should be :awesome:, though I don't know much about their live show. Are the sets primarily New Songs With The Greatest Hits Attached?

The setlists are basically:

Greatest Hits
A Couple Of Covers
A Couple Raditude Tracks
A Couple Blue Tracks
One Pinkerton Track

and some riffage that MAY be in the new album, but probably not.

Also, news for those who do not follow Weezer as obsessively as I do: new album out in the next couple months, it's either called Hurley or Heavy Mental. Apparently it's going to a more raw, rocking vibe. The band members have confirmed that it's definitely better then Raditude, AT THIS POINT. They are quick to point out that Raditude was originally a guitar focused album in the vein of b-side The Prettiest Girl In The Whole Wide World, before it suddenly changed, so no one knows. At this point, though, it should at least be a step up from the last album.

In some interesting news, Pat has started posting on the AllThingsWeezer forum, and is voicing his discontent over the band recently. Scott agrees, as does Brian. So basically Rivers is the only one who was happy with the whole Raditude era :LOL:.

[backwoodsjerm]

Weezer is one of the best bands of the 20th century. My wife likes them so well she almost threw my CD into the lake. I've, however found my new group in Muse. They Rock!!! I hope Weezer doesn't feel like yesterday's news.

[bagelsftw]

I saw Weezer in Williamsburg recently.
The only track they played from Pinkerton was El Scorcho. Damn, when was the last time they played Across the Sea? I would've loved to hear that! :LOL:
Not to be controversial or anything but the concert was soo much better than Muse live at MSG *hides*

Oh and

Only in Dreams > Everything :p

though I haven't ever listened to Pinkerton....

:pope::pope: Listen to it. Now. :LOL:

[Burning_October]

Weezer played Across The Sea I believe in 2008. They play it when they're in Japan. Not North America though.

[bluehealth11]

I like that album. Nice songs!

[Gigapoodle]

Ok ok, I'll give it a listen :p

[Gigapoodle]

So it ended up being Hurley. Hmmmmmm.

Album wise, they guys are just so inconsistent (bar the first two albums which are excellent). :erm:

The Green Album = poor
Maladroit = very good
Make Believe = awful
The Red Album = great
Raditude = just... bad

I'm expecting the next album to be a good one.

Awesome band, though, despite all the shit they have written.

[Burning_October]

The new single is out. And is fucking sucks.

[Gigapoodle]

What new single?

[Libertine]

I love Weezer and can't quite seem to help that no matter what they put out, but this new single is shit. Really shit. Stupid synths.

'Memories', it's called. Don't bother.

[sprocketeer]

I honestly gave up on Weezer after The Red Album. After Make Believe, I was sure they couldn't do any worse, but The Red Album proved me wrong. I'm actually too frightened to even listen to Raditude (which I hear is abysmal), much less this new upcoming album. I'm sure I'll hear this new single on the radio eventually, so I'll hold off on the pain until then.

That said, I try not to let any of this taint the greatness of their first few albums.

[Creeper McSexyPants]

are you going to the US Open? :D

Yeah, was there! Weezer was INCREDIBLE live! They may make hits and misses on records, but haven't lost their flare on stage!

I think Rivers covering Poker Face in a Lady GaGa wig was the best part after El Scorcho :awesome:

[Joseph.]

New Weezer song sucks, nothing new here.

[ninsp]

I really don't think it's half bad. I've given up on Weezer, on account of Red & Raditude, but really, at least it's nice to hear Weezer getting back to power pop and not that bullshit we've had since Make Believe.

Actually, Brian Bell came out and said that they're planning it, and that he really hopes it goes through. Granted, Weezer plans lots of things that dont turn out, but we'll see. Though with are luck it'll happen, but Rivers wont play guitar, will jump around on a trampoline, and mash a cover of Pokerface onto the end of Across The Sea.

[Milky Joe]

I'm skeptical that it will happen because of how seldom they play Pinkerton songs. But my god it would be amazing.

Am listening to The Blue Album again tonight.

Oh my. I always forget I love this album so much. So many tunes.

[Llama of Time]

This from Rivers, so now from two bandmates. And its not just Pinkerton...

“We have this really exciting idea to do a tour where we spend two nights in each city, and the first night, we play the entire Blue Album, and the second night, we play the entirety of Pinkerton. We’re just running it by promoters right now to see if there’s sufficient interest in the markets to do something like that, and if they’re on board, it’s gonna happen.”

Well, if they end up doing just America. I remain surprisingly calm, given that if I could ask any band to return to their roots (after Biffy Clyro) it would be Weezer.

Full album streaming

I'm listening now but only on second song

But I'm hearing positive stuff about it.

[Davinq]

Saw them last night. Pretty mediocre live really. :erm:

[Libertine]

It's decent. Nothing spectacular of course, but not bad. Really like Unspoken. I think a lot of people just need to accept that they're never going to do anything like Blue or Pinkerton again and just enjoy them for what they are. (I'm aware they have put out some shit though. :D)

[Llama of Time]

New album isn't bad. Not great, but not bad. Could have been much worse. I like it.

[Joseph.]

I'm ecstatic over it. Ruling Me is awesome, and Unspoken is just awesome.
I had no hope for Weezer :LOL:

[Milky Joe]

Saw them last night. Pretty mediocre live really. :erm:

Wha's wrong wit chu?!

[Llama of Time]

I like it. Its not perfect but its definitely a step in the right direction and has some really good songs.

Also everything ive seen from them live looks like a lot of fun. Doesnt look like a show that'd be like in my favorites ever, but something a lot of fun. Seeing them at a festival which is good because I don't know if I'd go to a headlining show for them (Well maybe for a Blue album/Pinkerton tour. And yeah im more of a casual fan of them not a huge fan)

[Joseph.]

So there are really only two songs I don't like all that much
Memories and the song after Where's My Sex?

[Davinq]

Blinkerton tour is a go. :awesome:

[Pig Man]

They really missed me with the latest album :noey:

[Max]

About to listen to Hurley. :)

[Milky Joe]

Blinkerton tour is a go. :awesome:

If this only happens in the US, Weezer suck.

[Ghosty Ghost]

If this only happens in the US, Weezer suck.
Quoted for mother fuckin truth.

[Milky Joe]

Lol, just realised I basically repeated what Max said last page ;)

[Pig Man]

Weezer, get out of YouTube. We get it, you guys want us to think you're geeks, and I did think that. However, now I've lost all respect for you.

[Burning_October]

Hey, the new Weezer album (yep, theres ANOTHER one, though it's kinda almost a compilation of unreleased outtakes...yeah it's weird) is streaming. It's better the Hurley! :D Still not amazing though. Has some really good stuff though: Turnin' Up The Radio is really fantastic pop, so is Trampoline. There's great moments in Blowing My Stack and The Odd Couple. And Unbreak My Heart is actually a really nice cover in my opinion. Still, though, not super fantastic or anything.

[Burning_October]

Pinkerton Deluxe has leaked :D.

[Joseph.]

The Pinkerton Reissue is great :happy:

[kev]

the longtime sunshine with the reprise outro is awesome. maybe a few too many versions of pink triangle and the good life

[hypermusic]

This amused me

[Lih]

Yes, Pinkerton is creepy - that's a major part of why it's so good - all the emotion put into it. That emotion is really quite creepy, but it's conveyed so well and the melodies are amazing. Now Rivers writes vague and meaningless lyrics to try and get a hit and it's just not the same.

[Wind Sorcerer]

The world has turned and leeeft me here. :happy:

[Lih]

The world has turned and leeeft me here. :happy:I think that's my favourite from the blue album, it just beats out Only In Dreams and Say It Ain't So.

[Wind Sorcerer]

The World Has Turned, Buddy Holly and Only In Dreams are probably my favourites.

[Lih]

The World Has Turned And Left Me Here
Only In Dreams
Say It Ain't So
Buddy Holly
Undone - The Sweater Song
My Name is Jonas
Holiday
No One Else
Surf Wax America
In The Garage

Only one I don't love would be In The Garage.

[hypermusic]

Across the sea is the best from pinkerton imo

[Joseph.]

Wish Weezer would have a longer Blue/Pinkerton tour. I'd love to hear the world has turned and left me here live. Hasn't been played since 97

"Rivers did not wear his glasses for the Blue Album set. He wore a blue shirt which looked just like the one on the cover of the Blue Album. He played guitar on every Blue Album song (he didn't play guitar on the first 10 songs). Pat Wilson played drums only on the Blue Album songs, except for Only in Dreams when he moved back to guitar and Josh Freese returned to drums. Rivers was silent between songs and stayed on stage during the Blue Album, which was the complete opposite of the way he was running around the audience during the first 10 songs."

Only if it gets further than the US :indiff:

There's pretty much zero chance of it coming to Australia but it's still exciting to see them do something right.

[Lih]

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/weezer/2010/gibson-amphitheatre-universal-city-ca-1bd2ad10.html
So they played Susanne, The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, You Gave Your Love To Me Softly and Only in Dreams in their 'greatest hits' set. Wow. This tour better come to the rest of the world (especially Australia!) even though there's no chance of that :(

[Clunge]

That second night set with Blue would be 'ossum :awesome:.

This is what I'm hoping for if they came to the UK

Memories
Troublemaker
The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
Dope Nose
Tired Of Sex
The Good Life
Pork & Beans
Island In The Sun
Hash Pipe
Beverly Hills
-----
My Name is Jonas
No One Else
The World Has Turned And Left Me Here
Buddy Holly
Undone/The Sweater Song
Surf Wax America
Say It Ain't So

Only In Dreams

Well, that's just ridonculous :LOL:

Tbh though, I'd rather have a few surprises in the set, and see them twice over the space of 2 days than see both albums in a row. But at the moment I'm just Dreamin' (no pun intended). I'm gonna see them at Sonisphere Festival when they play it, I just hope to fuck that they're still doing these albums and play a show before or after the festival.

i'd settle for that setlist :LOL:

I do have a horrible gut feeling that they will only come over here for Sonisphere though... :erm: like they did with Reading/Leeds last year.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!

There!

[Llama of Time]

I'm seeing them do a normal set at a festival in Houston, then the very next day they are playing Blue Album and Pinkerton in Austin and I cant go to those :( I get to see the normal set knowing what I could be getting.

I saw them do a normal set from across the field at Voodoo though (Sorry, I wasn't losing my front row spot for Muse) and it looked like a ton of fun, so I am excited to see them up close finally.

[Olly.]

Brixton here we come!

[dip]

Brixton weezer party YEAH

[hypermusic]

Wait about 5 years for weezer to come to the uk and then they choose the one week im on holiday...bastards.

[Milky Joe]

Got tickets :party:

Seetickets went down somehow :rolleyes: I knew it was bad for festivals and tickets for bands like Muse, but this was one show in an academy :noey:

On a seperate rant note, £40 is a lot, but I'd rather pay it to see Weezer than some of the bands I've seen for that amount.

£40 really? glad i didn't get up to buy tickets last week :p

I guess seetickets went down cause of the shear volume of people connecting, first proper Weezer show in years n all ;)

[Lih]

Wow.

[Milky Joe]

Damn! Brings a whole new meaning to the "Memories" tour :)

[kev]

oh my god. i hope that makes it to brixton

[Milky Joe]

oh my god. i hope that makes it to brixton

It's not fair how much I want them to do in Brixton! They could only get it done over 2 dates, like they're doing in America. Thankfully, I'll be seeing them at Sonisphere too, so looking for a completely different set both times.

[Llama of Time]

So when I saw them the weekend before last at a festival, they gave us a freaking awesome setlist.

They played 8 of the 10 songs on Blue Album, 2 songs from Pinkerton, 'Susanne', their cover of Paranoid Android, and they didn't play Beverly Hills. I call it a win. Plus they set off fireworks at the perfect moment during Buddy Holly, and it just was so perfect. Very great show.

Heres the setlist
http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/weezer/2011/eleanor-tinsley-park-houston-tx-23d32c43.html

Also they completely changed up the order, I had looked at setlists they'd been playing recently because I always do that, and they had changed it up quite a lot.

Wish I could have went to the Austin shows too, that would have been awesome (Though this festival as a whole was actually cheaper than just one of those Austin shows, and the festival was 2 days and had a ton more of awesome bands. So yeah)

[Milky Joe]

That's an awesome set; it just needs The Greatest Man That Ever Lived and it would have all my favourite post-Pinkerton songs :)

They did a 1 night memories date in Las Vegas but yeah Brixton isn't billed as part of that tour. I saw the 2 date thing in Chicago in January was awesome. I'm just hoping for Longtime Sunshine and no covers *fingers crossed*

[Muse are terrible]

Heres the setlist

If you ignore the existence of Perfect Situation and If You're Wondering :vomit: that is a pretty fucking awesome setlist. Though I wouldn't have minded seeing Memories and a few more Pinkerton songs on there.

[Lih]

Perfect Situation's definitely one of the better songs from Make Believe, though that's not saying much. It's infinitely better than say Beverly Hills or We Are All On Drugs.

Love perfection situation :happy:

I'm pretty speechless right now :D

Paranoid Android was fucking epic. Such a fun band and rivers is a legend as a frontman.

[Milky Joe]

That and The Greatest Man That Ever Lived :awesome:

I think my highlight was Tired of Sex, such a good song :D

[Olly.]

yeah greatest man is one of my favourites

[dip]

I'm taking all the credit for greatest man, as I asked that video guy for it.

What a fucking ace gig, me and frank got a pretty decent spot inside the front barrier where we could dance and jump like we do.

[randomparrot]

Really wish I'd got myself a ticket :(

[WutDaFucksy]

Would have if I had the monies, was quite a bit though :(

Yeah I was saving for my Reading Ticket at the time :(
