Going To Weezer?

[N-E-B]

I think The Flatliners are opening for them and I love them so I may check it out. Haven't seen how much tickets are yet, and The Flatliners come here pretty often so if it's too expensive I'll probably just skip if.

Bad Habit is the only one I'll give you. The rest were lousy.

I saw Weezer live as well, and I echo Table's comment. No chemistry, no reason to listen there instead of at home.

I think Weezer vastly improved their live performances after their early years. I missed the show at the Corral around 2002ish? But everyone at school said it was like they were keeping the performance at a sound level that wouldn't offend a librarian in case there was one there.

They also had shirts back then that proudly said "Rock Music: If it's too loud, turn it down". So...

Weezer is still probably my favourite band. Blue album is still by far their best but I've liked at least a few songs off every one. Their latest, the White album, was really good too and the one before was pretty decent. Hoping to get tickets soon.

What's the deal with this show again? It's some sort of Cjay92 party or something? I thought I heard it wasn't a regular show.

"Goddamn you half Japanese girls/Do it to me every time" might be the best opening line to a song ever. I like Pinkerton more than the Blue Album because it shows you what a dork Rivers is. I don't really like any of the other albums though.

[jayswin]

Haha yeah, pink triangle is great for lyrics, too.

When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place, everyone's a little queer
Oh, can't she be a little straight?
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian, I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind but married in my mind's no good

[Senator Clay Davis]

It's gotta be one of the most quotable albums ever really. Prime Rivers could really write.

Pinkerton is one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. Saw weezer about 15 years ago and they were great, but I guess a lot can change in that amount of time, although I heard they did an awesome cover of paranoid android at xfest a few years ago, so there's that.

I remember when Pinkerton came out I think I was in grade 9 and thought it sucked.

Then once I got to university I'm pretty sure once a week we would have a drunken singalong to that album. So many great songs on there with fun lyrics to belt-out when you have been drinking with friends. Brings me back to my younger days...I don't wanna be an old man anymore

Say it ain't so is still my favourite Weezer song though and still the best song to drunk sing.

Pinkerton was edgier and not as radio friendly as Blue or Green which is why it's the hidden gem in their discography.

Last time I saw them, they did a MGMT (Kids) and Lady Gaga (Pokerface) medley.

One of my favourite bands back in the day. Yup that was like 15 years ago at the Dome. One of the best concerts I ever went to. Blue album was the best! Definitely going to this one.

[TheFlamesVan]

Well this is awesome! I've had them stuck in my head since Mary Tyler Moore passed away.

[undercoverbrother]

Damn, now I have to go under the stairs to dig out my Weezer Cd's.

I watched that on Youtube and I enjoyed it!

Anyone else remember how when Windows 95 first came out, the install CD came with the Buddy Holly music video. I remember thinking it was so cool that you could watch something like that on your computer.

Windows 95 really was a big deal in it's time.
