It's actually a very good rendition.

I was quite impressed with it as well.

Fuck Weezer these days. They haven't made a decent album since Maladroit. More importantly, fuck Rivers Cuomo.

Collaborating with Lil Wayne, doing Rock Band commercials with Taylor Swift and writing songs for Katy Perry and Adam Lambert. Seriously. What the fuck.  

They haven't made a decent album since Pinkerton, IMO.

And bravo for Rivers writing songs for Katy Perry and Adam Lambert. That's cash money in his pocket either by royalties or a fat check. Not to mention that's respect, someone respects him well enough to hire him to write a song for 2 of the top 40 artists. Not too shabby in my book.

Now the Lil' Wayne collaboration... that's pure marketing. Though it soils the image we all hold dear of Weezer. At least for me. They're no longer the scrawny nerds playing the poppy alternative that I grew to love... they're a brand of product now.

That video devilinside posted....

My pants are wet.  ;D

I instantly thought suicide. I hope Deftones start playing say it ain't so again....

sing blue silver

yes i also kind of instantly jumped to the conclusion of it being planned but he was tweeting about how excited he was to go see weezer the next day on the day of his death and was planning a vacation and such. hard to say at this point. as far as i knew he was off drugs but i guess we'll get some clarification once they determine the cause of death.

Really creepy, wow.

Katy Perry and Adam Lambert huh..? Why can't they at least write for someone talented?

Well...RIP...and yes that is really creepy.

The funny thing is if you were a vocalist that got commissioned to work with Katy Perry and was offered 500,000 dollars to do it plus a portion of every song sold... Well, really, do I need to finish this sentence?  Get over it.

What's the point in quoting a 2 year old post?

skinnypuppy

I did not notice it was two years old. You win this round, sir.

Sooo, onto newer things...what's your fave Weezer album of all time?

sing blue silver

pinkerton (including the "songs from the black hole" stuff)

that era was just a massive burst of creativity. i really respected rivers for taking such a chance writing honest, crushing music after the success of the mostly positive vibes that filled the blue album.

Maladroit is underrated
