Karl's Corner - 09/14/2010 (b)

The band and contest winners arrived around 8:30 AM at 98.7's HQ, high atop the Hollywood Tower on Franklin Ave in LA. The Hollywood Tower is one of the beautiful 20s-30's era "castle like" old school high rises scattered throughout Hollywood, and the 98.7 offices up top are super stylish and cool. Cooler still is the outdoor rooftop penthouse deck, where the "Breakfast With Weezer" on-air interview and Q+A with the fans took place, hosted by DJ's Darren and Kennedy, who of course goes way back with the band, having first famously interviewed them in 1994 for Mtv's Alternative Nation show.
A fun time was had by all, with breakfast provided by Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, and beverages provided by Jarritos. Mmmmm. After the interview and questions from the audience, the band took group photos with all the winners before everyone parted ways and melted into the Hollywood sun. Personally, I went down to Amoeba and picked up a good luck copy of 'Hurley'.

2012/09/14 Rama, Ontario, Canada: Rama Casino: Entertainment Centre
...After a few weeks in rock limbo, Weezer has reassembled like a Voltron 200 watt full stack, this time in the pastoral Chippewas of Rama First Nation land near Rama, Ontario, Canada, On the shores of Lake Couchiching, not far from Lake Simcoe. Up here its all about the great outdoors, but they built a very impressive indoor structure, the Rama Casino, which is where the rock takes place in these parts. So we are oddly surrounded by lakes, birds, corn, and clean air, but also baccarat tables and poker chips galore. Whatever - to inject weezer into Northern Ontario, you go where the rock calls. Which is how it should be.

2013/09/14 Show: Thackerville, OK: Winstar Casino
After yesterdays sold out show in Concho, we packed up the gear and the guys and the rock, and took it down to Thackerville, a small town just North of the Texas border. Because casinos are not allowed in Texas, they put one here to attract the people up from Dallas, about 90 minutes away (or less if you aren't concerned with speed limits). So tonight's show should be a good one, as we hear tell the show is just about sold out. So thank you for coming out to the hinterlands to share in the rock with us!
We last played here almost 2 years ago, and it was right as the guys walked off the stage that we learned the awful news about Mikey Welsh's passing. Its hard to believe its coming up on 2 years since that terrible day, and everyone misses Mikey very much. But life, and rock as weve come to learn keeps moving on, and so onward the weez goes...

...Today the tour resumed, regaining a small semblance of normalcy as the trucks were unloaded, the stage set up, the lights rigged up, and the guitars tuned up once again. after going just "1 for 3" in the tour so far due to the horrible attacks over on the East coast, the guys were ready to rock some fears and worries away!
...Today's line up was different than it will be for the rest of the tour: substituting for Cold was L.A.'s Ozma, who also opened back in February and March on the Outloud Tour. It was great to see those guys (and gals) again, and the mini-reunion was a great birthday gift for both myself and Ozma's Daniel, who, as it turns out, shares my birthday. No wonder we keep finishing each others sentences....just kidding. First, the Start rocked things out in a sort of aggro nu-wave style, though their funny little dog did not join them onstage as I'd hoped. then Ozma came up and did their thing to the delight of what was clearly a crowd that contained a good deal of Ozma devotees!
...Ozma (doing their thing)...
...And finally, weezer delivered a smokin' set, that gained some rave reviews from all sides- I gotta agree, it was really an exceptional show! Everyone was full of energy, smiles all around, Scott was looking a lot more relaxed and confident, and the mood was one of celebration and strength! I think this show was really what everyone needed after the horrific news of late and the frustrating and saddening show cancellations. Even a little guitar mix up didnt seem to faze Rivers, who took it in stride and seemed to really enjoy himself up there.

we got more tabs, and we got more links! More revisions and additions to come...
...out in L.A. new rehearsals officially started today. Rivers jammed with Scott on "Turn Me Round" plus some other brand new songs including a wild new Scott jamb. At this stage, 5th album rehearsals are all about getting loose and trying everything, no holds barred and no rules, just to see what comes out of it. Seatbelts fastened everyone?
...and thanks for all the b-day wishes! you guys rule!

...summer recording session, day 44. Today was Rivers' last day of recording, and he did another pile of vocal work, narrowly completing what he needed to do before shipping off for his upcoming fall semester at school. Later, after a mini goodbye session at a local coffeesop, Rivers went home to finish packing up and Scott returned to the studio to do some work on a bass part.

Karl's Corner - 09/15/2010

We arrived at the NBC Studios about 10:30 AM, and the band was soon on the stage area of the Tonight Show set, running through "Memories" many times as the sound techs and lighting techs got everything squared away. Then it was time for lunch at the fabulous NBC Commissary, where terrific treats and tiny tater tots were toted to our tables and tasted. After that it was time for "Camera Rehearsal", where the band went back to the stage and played the song more times while the Tonight Show camera people sorted out the moves they were going to make as the band performed later.
Then there was a bit of downtime before the band was called into wardrobe and makeup to put the finishing touches on their styles for their date with TV destiny.
Then it was time for the pre-show warm up where the audience filters in as Jay's comedians and assistants warm the crowd up and lay things down. About this time I made my way to the audience so as to see the show in person and not backstage on a tv in the Green Room. So I sacrificed potential hang-out time with affable Ben Affleck for the good of the weez. But some others were not able to restrain themselves, being fully Ben Affleckted. I found myself sitting next to Rivers' mother and step-father, who expressed concern that they were placed too close to the stage and might thus distract Rivers. I assured them that Rivers has a whole new ball game these days, and not to worry about distracting him.
The show went fine, and when Weezer came on they were tight and solid and it sounded rad. Many many weezer fans made it into the studio audience, so the whooping and yelling was great. My only complaint was that upon seeing the show on TV later, I noticed the cameramen either missed, or the editors deliberately chose other shots, of the parts where Rivers jumped high off the drum riser and where he ran over and hugged Jay in mid-song while singing! That was the funniest part of the whole thing to me, and the TV audience was unable to see it. Ah well. Guess that was one toke over the line for the Tonight Show.
Thanks to the weezer gang for my b-day cake and the serenade of 'Happy Birthday' in the dressing room! That was very sweet.
Today we saw the Hurley vinyl LP for the first time in person. It was a limited green vinyl edition, and it looked great!

2012/09/15 Baltimore, MD: Inner Harbor: Charm City Music Festival
...After an all night drive thru the rolling misty mountains of Western new York and Pennsylvania, we pulled into Baltimore in the late morning, affording a few hours for chilling before heading down to the Charm City Music Festival, in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Today's show is a festival featuring Jah Works, The All Mighty Senators who I remember were already rocking Baltimore in my late 80s MICA days, old DGC labelmates from the 90s Southern Culture On The Skids, Stephen Marley, and the ever ebullient Flogging Molly, before Weezer takes the stage tonight. We haven't played Baltimore very many times, so this is a treat, especially since nearly everyone in the band is a fan of John Waters, "Diner" and "The Wire".

I write this from Las Vegas where we are stopped for a few hours to let the bus driver sleep. We are headed to tomorrows show in Clovis (Fresno) CA, on a marathon drive from Denver. The guys are catching up on their craps games, and in Rivers's case, mixing new songs that were recorded live on tour. ...The last two shows were a study in contrasts: In Albuquerque, we were given just about every possible technical difficulty, not to mention other random obstacles, and the guys triumphed in the end. In Denver, everything ran like clockwork...(and the guys triumphed in the end!)
...In Albuquerque, the El Rey Theater was in pretty bad shape, and it was the power system that proved to be the weak link. As the guys got into the section of new songs, the entire P.A. (club's speaker system) cut out entirely. While Pat did a crazed 70's style drum solo to keep everyones spirits up, the inept sound company did their pathetic best to get things up and running.
Finally things were back online.... for a song and a half. In the middle of "Superstar", the power cut in and out several times, prompting the guys to take a mid-set "power safety break" and wait for things to be fixed.
The fans were mellow at first, expecting a 5 minute delay. Unfortunately, it was determined that a whole new mixing board had to be installed, pushing the delay closer to 50 minutes! Our lighting guy, Dan, sprayed the hot irritated crowd down with water, as the rest of us waited,, crossing out fingers that the problem would be solved. Finally, things were back on track, (Mikey playing in his underwear notwithstanding) and the set was completed. After waiting so long for a weezer show, the Albuquerque fans were not to be denied!
...The Denver show was much much smoother and simply rocked hard from beginning to end. The Ogden Theater provided a nice "arena" for all the fans to sing along at the top of their lungs. It was nice to have the show go off without a hitch.
...A lot of people have been asking about the KROQ Kevin and Bean Breakfast show that weezer was supposed to be doing soon... Well, after getting the runaround for several weeks, we have learned that weezer has been "pre-empted" in favor of some other band! The band is extremely disappointed about all this, as they were really looking forward to giving the fans that kind of an intimate and interactive live performance. Stay tuned for new information on this as soon as we have it. And in the meantime, come to the Clovis show if you can, and show the world which band's got the best fans!
...weezer in print: short but sweet articles on the band have appeared recently in:
Entertainment Weekly (With Richard from Survivor on the cover)
Alternative Press (With Papa Roach on the cover)
...and are mentioned in The latest Wizard (with Angelica Joile on the cover), as part of the "top 100 celebrity comic book freinds", for having X-men characters in "In The Garage"

...We had hoped that one of the two postponed shows could have been made up today, but apparently the business details couldn't be worked out and/or the venues weren't available. I don't know what the chances are of immediate make-up dates at this point. All I know is somehow I ended up in Vegas for another day with Rivers who had some business meetings to take care of. There was some time to kill, so we hit the links for an extremely random 9 holes of golf. Everything from 1-under-par miracles to 13 shot disasters. And so it goes out here under the hot desert sun. We plan on leaving shortly, to cruise to Salt Lake to catch up with the rest of the band and crew who rolled into SLC this morning after an all night drive.
...Viva Las Vegas...

...Salt Lake City! The crowd response at this little shindig was amazing! The roar was so loud when the lights went down, and the "jumping up and down" was large-scale and impressive. It looked like everyone in the whole arena was standing up for the encore too!
...today marked 2 cool reunions of sorts, stemming from the fact that there are some Salt Lake weezer ties. Number one was that Brian's sister came and paid us a visit backstage. Number two was a major part of the Allan family (Mykel and Carli's family) came to join us in the rock celebration. It was wonderful to see everyone again!
...early in the weezer set, a huge rush of people in the assigned seating sections rushed the floor to try and join those who were in the standing section. This looked really scary, as people were getting pushed and shoved, and running down the stairs at top speed in the dark is NOT safe. A lot of folks did make it to the floor, but it is a miracle that no one was seriously hurt. At least I didn't hear anything about injuries, but it wouldnt have suprised me if someone had been trampled. Anyway, it didnt look like a very cool way to go about it, and I would strongly recommend against this kind of tomfoolery at future shows...I was seriously scared for people. Security guards came up to the various access points and eventually staunched the flow of people, but by the end of the night the crowd on the floor was a lot fuller than when it started. I'm glad they got to rock out where they wanted to, but
...tonight seemed to be the night of bras and panties being tossed up on stage from the audience. At one point both Brian and Rivers had several lacy underthings hanging from their nightstands. And the mysterious age-old tradition of rock continues!
...I met and talked with some of the guys in Cold today, and they were really nice people! We discussed the fact that they are not getting the warmest welcome from the weezer fans so far on this tour. Interestingly, they mentioned how that when they were opening up for Marilyn Manson earlier this year, they had an even harder time, due to the Manson fans being utterly devoted only to M.M. to the point of (literally) trying to cast evil spells on Cold! We kicked around the idea that some weezer fans are indeed open to different styles of music, but many are finding Cold beyond their "range" of taste, and choose to use the concert as the place to defend their taste. We also discussed how it was in fact Rivers who invited them out, as he digs some of their songs a lot. I guess we've opened a new can of worms on this one. I just hope that the fans at our shows at least show some courtesy, even if they arent willing to give Cold a chance.
...and in case you were sleeping, theres a new video treat for you over in the audio video section, and Dan has a pile of new news items up on the RWA news page (link at top right, next to my banner)
