Hello people. "Death To False Metal", due out on November 2! Same release day as Pinkerton Deluxe Edition!
Pre-order Death To False Metal and Pinkerton Deluxe here: http://shop.weezer.com/
Death To False Metal is a special album of weezer songs that were prepared for albums in the past but never quite fit in. They have been gathered and rehabilitated into an album all their own now. Death To False Metal is sort of like weezer's version of Rivers' "Alone" records. Its not a new studio album per se (for that, see 'Hurley'!), but it is something that weezer fans will dig. So check it out and enjoy!

2012/10/12 Austin, TX: Zilker Park: Austin City Limits Festival
We flew from L.A. to Austin, Texas last night and settled into town, enjoying a little downtime as the city ramped up for the festival, with every hotel booked solid and the bars and the restaurants packed. Today we fought the car and pedestrian traffic and made our way into the huge Zilker Park, taking van and golf cart deeper and deeper into a labyrinthine web of paths, roads and fenced off lanes that finally led us to our temporary HQ in the wilds behind the AMD Stage. This is our first time playing ACL and we are stoked to finally be here.

...while I'm out of L.A., Sheeny the Organized has agreed to send pix and reports my way to share with everyone. This is what she had to say about the last couple of days, as the band has re-started rehearsals...
:::10-11-2001
:::LA Rehearsals
:::"After a rare, much deserved few days off, the guys have regrouped from their various ports to start up rehearsals. The tour was a huge high for them and it was extremely disappointing not to continue on in Europe, but they are making the most of the time suddenly made available. The rehearsals started on Tuesday (10-9) and they played 5 new songs that day ("Smiths Jamb", "Space Rock", "As The Day Goes By", "It’s Nothing At All" and "High and Dry") and another new one tonight called "Slave".
:::Some of the songs are brand spanking new, written from when we got back to LA, and some are from right before we left on the Midget Tour. The titles at this point are still very new and bound to change, a lot of them already have since Tuesday.
:::There were some mind blowing shows on the tour and in these rehearsals one can see why, together as a band they are sounding really tight. It’s all coming together as a monster rocking sound and it’s pretty amazing to see it."

...MB '05 Tour: Day 116: Foozer/Wee Fighters 18: Philadelphia, PA - Wachovia Center
Some crunk, some trunk, but no junk. A dad in the house, plus 13,749 others! This was a BIG show. The Wachovia Center, the home of the Philadelphia Flyers and the 76'ers is massive and it was pretty much sold out tonight.
In the past weezer has played the Spectrum, an older facility right next door, but now that the Wachovia Center has been built, theres a new place for both the NHL and Foozer activity. Somehow Philadelphia decided to put all their sports complexes right next to each other. There's the Wachovia Center, plus Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies (on the site of the old Veterans Stadium), Lincoln Financial Hall, home of the Eagles, and the Spectrum, home of The Phantoms minor league hockey team, and some serious old locker room funk.
"This will always be The Spectrum to me." -Pat, moments before being informed that the Wachovia Center is not the same building as the Spectrum.
Tonight was a solid show on par with the tour so far, though the band reported mixed impressions on how it went. It was a case that happens sometimes on the road, where everyone's impressions of the same event are different. Comments both in person and online from the fans have been generally very stoked, so it just goes to show that you never can tell. In any event, tonight's show was an interesting set, which included the never before played in public "The Damage In Your Heart", which was a real treat to finally hear live. Also for the first time tonight the show opened with "Perfect Situation", now the new single from "Make Believe". This may or may not happen again in the future, but it was an interesting experiment.
Tonight there was another first, as Rivers's dad Frank was in attendance. He later reported that he loved the show and that it was "spectacular". How cool is that?
Thanks to 'Undone' helper Chris, doing it up proper! And props to Jeb Lewis (of TSG '03) in the hizzouse!
fan reaction (see the comment section for more and leave your own):
"...I just saw my very first concert. Weezer rocked! I'm glad weezer was my first, but at the same time distressed. Weezer may have raised the bar too high! Foo was good too, but weezer stole the show. I had a very nice friend take me tonight and we moved into the front, about 15 feet from the stage! It was an incredible experience! I've played classical guitar since age 6...weezer is my new rock guitar idol! Please tell the crew it was awesome!" ---Bryan S.D.

Good ol' San Jose. Good ol' San Jose State University. Good ol' San Jose State University Arena. The last time we (almost) played this place was a unique time in United States history - 9/11. No one had any idea what was going on, and in the severe uncertainty, the show was cancelled. Once it was apparent that civilization would go on, the show was made up later in the tour. This time around, there was no such drama. But plenty of the good righteous Rock n' Roll Drama.
Brian's band The Relationship opened the show with style and panache, their first of 3 special opening performances while the Troublemaker Tour swings thru L.A. (They play at 7 PM sharp people, so dont be dilly dallying!)
Special shout outs to Neil Young (the Weezer engineer of '00), and the Lakeshore Crew: Eric, Pauline, and Ron! Also Luis the Mosh Pit King. 
Here are some pix from tonight's show (click on them to see them bigger)
SPECIAL NOTE about the UPCOMING CALIFORNIA SHOWS:
For the San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego shows, Brian Bell's other band The Relationship will opening the show! But to see them, youll have to arrive early, because The Relationship will be playing at 7PM sharp! Its The Relationship, then Tokyo Police Club, then Angels And Airwaves, then Weezer. So no excuses, come to the show on time and get the full measure of Rock!
RIVERS NEEDS YOUR STICKERS! Rivers needs to decorate his drum kit (the one on the side of the stage, not Pat's in the middle), and he wants stickers to do it. Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars; now - er, wait - I mean, years ago, Rivers asked for stickers for his guitar, and hundreds of you tossed envelopes loaded with crazy stickers onstage for days - his Stratocasters were quickly plastered! Can we count on you guys to come thru again? However you can get them to us works - if you see me, pass em over - if youre close to the stage, toss em up! Just write "Stickers for Rivers" on the envelope! Thanks people!

2012/10/13 Valley Center, CA: Harrah's Rincon Casino: Open Sky Theater
A complicated travel day today, as we awoke early in Austin, went to the airport, flew to San Diego, got on a tour bus, and bussed an hour up to the Harrah's Rincon Casino in Valley Center for tonights show. After a few hours of chill time in the hotel, which is tucked into a remote valley deep in the mountains of the Rincon Indian Reservation, the sun has gone down and the Open Sky Theater is ready to supply the rock to the SoCal masses coming in from San Diego, L.A. and parts asunder and yon. Tonight the show is being opened by a band known as JJamz, a female fronted rock band which, from what we're hearing at soundcheck, sounds like a band with a melodic clean guitar oriented sound, almost like 80's college rock. Aint nothing wrong with that.
They say it's gonna get a little chilly up in the high desert tonight, but as always the rock and the roll shall keep up warm and toasty...

weezer Well, the #voyagetotheblueplanet tour reached its final stop, 10/12/24 @acrisurearena in Palm Desert, CA. 30 light years thru the galaxy with the nicest bunch of companions we could have hoped for, from our absolutely top notch crew, to the wonderful @flaminglips and @dinosaurjr families. And at every stop, an amazing sold out crowd of fans, singing along and going bananas! We really couldn’t have asked for a better tour - in fact, this was our best tour ever! After 30+ years on the road, we are so grateful to have reached new heights we could only have dreamed of back in the day. Thank you! #karlscorner

...Don't forget- Tomorrow (Monday 10-15) morning around 7:15 AM PST, Rivers will be on Seattle's 107.7 The End station, with an interview and some news. As far as I can tell, The End has a simulcast online, so if you don't live in Seattle and want to check it out, head on over to The End's Website ...you'll find a link to listen online, at the top left.
...got some reports that San Jose Tickets can be ordered on the phone! The number is 408-998-2277. I was asked to tell you that you should make sure to let them know that the show that you want tickets for "is at the events center, and NOT the compaq center".
...you may remember how several days ago it was discovered that the version of "Always" on the upcoming "Island In the Sun" import singles is in fact incorrect. Rivers has fortunately dug up the correct version (a good deal longer, at 2:48) but then realized that the mix wasn't right! So, on top of being the right length now, its also gotten a fresh facelift in the mix department. How do you get this version? Well it wont be on the Import singles as far as I know, but we have it here on Weezer.com! It will join our other media over in the "Audio Video" section soon, but I just had to post it up right away to spread the goodness... "correct" Always remix! [mp3]

-- letter o' the week! --
"The other day my friend and I had this big arguement over what kind of music you play. He said that you played punk and I said you played rock. Please email me back with the correct answer." ---Patrick O.
...well, last night's Jackass premiere b-b-q special on Mtv was pretty funny, and as the ads indicated, included a touch of the Weez. Rivers got a bit of screen time, with the Jackass dude finally asking him for a hug, and Rivers' priceless reply: "Im not quick to bond... I'll shake your hand!" Its really too bad there wasnt more weezer action, as they did interview both Rivers and Pat for at least 10 minutes back on that night, but none of that showed up in the special. Well, there was a lot of action to pick from that night, what with the random head shavings, lawn furnature destruction and wrestling matches. Anyway, the world at least got a peek at what we got to watch that night, and what everyone [over the age of 17 unless attending with a parent or guardian] will see as of October 25th! "Jackass" will always hold a special place in the hearts of Weezer, as the guys go way back with "Johnny Knoxville" and head writer/old man impersonator Spike Jonze, not to mention Loomis [the narrator/referee guy], who we used to hang with all the way back when he was the drummer for Wax.
...Jackass. Sure, its gross, crude and stupid, but as they said on the special, it just might be the funniest movie of all time!
--Weez/Jackass update 10/18:
Turns out some of the Rivers/pat interview footage IS being used, on a current Mtv News story. "I was laughing so hard i was crying" -Pat. Also, some more info and a video clip of this interview is located on Mtv.com. 
...some fan announcements + what not:
"...I'm hoping that SOMEONE sent you guys a picture of 6 freaks who wore green shirts that spelled "WEEZER" across them. This was way back on July 9th at Red Rocks. I've been trying to find anyone who took a picture (I was the "W") and get a copy of it from them. If you guys have a copy or know who might, I'd love to hear back from you. Thanks!" --- Jeff P. [we here at weezer.com never saw any such pic, so if anyone can help Jeff, drop him an email!]
...Weezerfest Cincinnati details:
Date: Saturday, October 19
Where: Newport on the Levee
When: 1:00 at the front gates (look for us holding up a flying w sign)
What: We're gonna either go to the aquarium or Gameworks, depending on what the majority would like to do, so bring cash!
Email littlegoob@lycos.com or purpleskyatdusk@hotmail.com for info, or PM wynd or elizabethann on the boards.
"...I bought Maladroit the day it came out and it was #236536, today i was at the mall in a music shop and i found Maladroit #000510, how awesome is that!? Pretty crazy how stuff works..." ---Hardcore Weez Fan Chasebo

Whats up Inglewooooooood! Tonight was the big bad L.A. show at the Forum. Its not the Great Western Forum anymore, but it is pretty great and certainly West of most other forums I can think of. A few months back the parking lot outside was the site of the filming of the Troublemaker video, and tonight the tour of the same name came back to SoCal to do some damage. And much damage was dealt, with mighty broadswords and arrows.
Brian's band The Relationship again opened the show, their second of 3 Cali show opening sets. Remember folks, they go on at 7 PM sharp so get there on time for a full rock experience!
Sticker people - yes we got all 3 sticker packets you tossed to the stage - the fedex one, the little red/yellow envelope and the other one too. Thanks people! Just what are we talking about you ask? Scroll down.
Shoutouts to EDDIE VAN HALEN who came to rock out to the weez - and was nearly ejected from weezer's dressing room by accident! Sorry about that Eddie, we do love you! Also props to the many L.A. area attendees, both well known and otherwise, including O, Adam O., Dave Rat, Johnny Knoxville, Tay Zonday, Shezbang, Johnny Lonely, Todd Sullivan, and uber-mosher Luis once again!

Yesterday, weezer attended the mighty premiere of "Jackass 3-D" at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. followed by a raucous afterparty across the street at the poolside lounge of the Roosevelt Hotel. Mucho mas fun was had by all. In attendance were all the Jackass regulars and pretty much anyone who had anything to do with them, a menagerie of famous and infamous types including Spike Jonze, Tony Hawk, Handsome Jack, and Ron Jeremy(!?!).
Weezer was invited not only because of their long standing friendship with Johnny Knoxville (aka P.J. as we knew him back in the day) and Spike, but also because of the collaboration of Jackass and Weezer on "Memories". In the closing credits of the film is a nice sequence showing early footage and pix of the Jackass guys, cut with recent footage of Jackass and Weezer in the recording studio together, doing the gang vocals for the 'Jackass version' of "Memories".
Jackass 3-D is just great! It opens tomorrow, Friday October 15! Go...
And check out this behind the scenes video from the Weezer+Jackass shoot for "Memories" on Myspace Music!
The Jackass Soundtrack album is available now, and it contains many good songs including the Jackass Version of Memories. Get it here.
Pre-order Death To False Metal and Pinkerton Deluxe here. The limited autograph package is almost sold out, act now!
Pre-Order Pinkerton Deluxe on iTunes here.

2011/10/14 Gulf Breeze, FL: Pensacola Beach: DeLuna Festival
Todays show is the opening day of the 3 day DeLuna Festival, which is a multi-stage event featuring a ton of bands including Jane's Addiction, The Shins, and Cake, amongst many many others. The scene is a sunny warm beach with nice breezes coming off the Gulf of Mexico, and music filling the air. Not bad!
Today is the last currently scheduled weezer show untill our Weezer Cruise launches in January. Thank you to all the fans who have come to all the shows this year so far, and to the cruise volunteers handing out flyers at the shows, and to the many who volunteered to pass out Cruise temp tattoos and wristbands at their hometown shows.

2012/10/14 Phoenix, AZ: Veterans Memorial Coliseum At Arizona State Fair
Its a dry sunny 91 degree mid-October day here in Arizona, the perfect day for a fair. We rolled into Phoenix this morning after an overnight bus ride from Valley Center. After a little downtime this morning at a hotel, we rolled into the fairgrounds, where we last played 2 years ago. The midway and grounds were as we remembered, huge, colorful and full of sights, sounds, and smells. Inside the venerable Veterans Memorial Coliseum, things are cooler, darker, and less odoriferous, but much much louder...

Memories (Live at Red Bull Studios)
Hey folks, we’ve gotten ahold of some cool video for you, its Weezer live in the studio performing “Memories”, for the Red Bull Sessions. There hasn’t been much footage released from the Hurley era, so this is a long overdue treat. This is the ‘5 member’ version of weezer with Josh Freese on drums and Pat Wilson providing guitar, and they are tight and strong here. Flanking the performance are some interviews with Rivers on the recording of Hurley and his songwriting.

Its late Sunday night as i write this, and the song has to be handed in tomorrow. And its not done yet. Its gonna be a long night....
