Weezer (and fans) cover ‘Creep’

Posted on June 23rd, 2008.

In an earlier report, we told you about Weezer asking fans to bring over their instruments for the bands Hootenanny. The result is already available.

In Portland quite a number of Weezer fans joined the band playing Radiohead’s Creep. Here’s the video:

At least someone is playing it.

But I still think this will be played live by Radiohead before the year is over.

it sounds great but the percussion is proper n00bish - something tells me theyre playing percussion because they dont actually play an instrument.

That was actually cooler than I expected. Although I didn’t see any female guitar players for some reason.

Wonderful. And no Paul, there wasn’t an idiot making mistakes - only someone playing a guitar, having fun, and honoring a great band. Radiohead must be touched by this gesture.

I’d be interested to learn what made them choose to do this song. I mean, it’s a great song and everything. But with all due respect to Radiohead, it certainly is no “Imagine” or anything. Especially when the lyrics deal so strongly of self-loathing and despair.

It’s basically a song about someone with an inferiority complex.

It’s not really a song to be celebrated. As great as the lyrics might be.

[...] Something really unusual happened during the Hootenanny tour of Weezer in Portland. The band had asked the fans to bring their musical instruments and play/jam with them! Dozens of fans came and the band recorded a live cover of the popular Radiohead song, Creep. I don’t know if you find it usual! I found it really original! Violins, guitars, violas, percussions sets and more were there to give a special cover of Creep. Enjoy the video (many thanks to AtEase): [...]

really cool idea. is always neat when bands interact with fans, but i’m just so tired of weezer.
