Weezer -- Classic or Dud?

Honestly think Pacific Daydream is pretty excellent once you get past the first three songs. Sweet Mary is one their very best songs imo

i think "mexican fender" is fine too

America hits its limit?

I just learned that our Broadway shows have been cancelled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses.) I'm very sorry to be telling you this now after we've already invested so much time, thought, and emotion. Extra apologies to those of you who cleared schedules and made travel plans to be with us. Thanks to @Broadway Producer for all your hard work and great ideas. I loved where we were going and I hope we can find a way to resurrect our vision.

What's with these homies cancelling my show

ha

Lol

Dud. Your annoying younger sibling in band form.

I'm not a Weezer fan, but they could at least do a one-off show and film it for streaming release. Seems pretty reasonable in terms of preserving an endeavor and getting it to a wide audience.

v curious about what the "unbelievably high expenses" could be for a 6-night stand at a single venue

Have 26 often testing years of goodwill from two solitary albums finally starting to run dry?

xpost the world's biggest light-up "W."

America has spoken: "If you're wondering if I want you to...i don't want you to"

my friend wrote "nobody wants to see u cos you're a diddler" in response, who is she referring to? did Weezer get in some trouble?

honest question as I don't follow them anymore

Diddler sounds like it could have been another '90s alt-rock band.

I just did a cursory search and apparently they've been criticized for being misogynist, racist and homophobic, but I haven't turned up any specific accusations.

all that I knew about.

unless she's making fun of Rivers's guitar playing

Maybe she mixed Rivers up for someone else? There's already several other well-known alternative rockers with similar accusations leveled at them.

i just saw them play at a little 600 cap venue here. a secret warm up show for their upcoming "back to their roots!" tour thing. they totally sucked, complete dog shit. rivers' voice and guitar playing are still good, bryan is playing and singing great too. but no heart. they had no amps on stage, i guess they just play through rack units. this totally lessens the power of a rock band in a smaller venue. they play to click track and backing track so its hard to rock out. the times they had no click (only in dreams and paper face) then the ol magic was there. oh well.

they played new stuff off their szns eps and it was all proggy, thrashy, metal and very guitar heavy, but what's the point when it's so subdued by sticking to the click?

What's the point of playing to a click live unless you have a) backing tracks, or b) lots of visuals or idk pyro effects to sync up? Maybe they do once they move on to bigger venues, or maybe they just hate their drummer.

i think they do have backing tracks for some of the newer material lol

'no heart' is completely what i'd expect from them

listened to the white album yesterday. so perfectly suited toward the summer that i once again convinced myself it's my favorite weezer album

I heard Big Dipper's "Ron Klaus Wrecked His House" this past weekend and damn if it isn't "Undone" but seven years earlier and ~135,000,000 less spotify spins. Great song.

Agreed about the white album, I love that record
