    Weezer is doing a cover too? Wow why is creep the favorite, they should do something else, it would make them stand out more. I respect Weezer though.

    good to see rivers still identifies with ‘creep’, even if he is the greatest man who ever lived

  • El Scorcho

    I was listening to Pinkerton the other day and thought to myself how awesome Weezer used to be. Then I got really depressed because I remembered how god-awful they’ve become.

    This only fuels the fire…

    And Weezer continues its swift, ugly slide into mediocrity. Somebody please pull the curtain on this train wreck.

    eh, don’t give them flack. if they want alot of people to be able to jam with them, they have to choose songs that are catchy and easy to remember. like creep. though I guess they could have also choosen high and dry or karma police. those are pretty damn easy to play.

    I agree El Scorcho, Pinkerton was the last thing they made with any credit. Sad to see a good band go down the drain.

    i really like weezer – hate the losers who give em shit cos of how ‘they’ve changed’ etc. they’re one of the great american bands!

  • SubSickAlien

    Any band that still shows their face on MTV can burn in hell as far as I’m concerned.

  • weezer-bicurious

    I agree with most that old weezer (blue and pinkerton era) is quite superior to the rest . . . but there is a taste of the old weezer format in the new album . . . even in pork and beans
