Karl's Corner - 09/22/2001

...pre-show, Pat and I did some important calisthenics, namely cruising down the long indoor pedestrian ramps that worm throughout Cobo Hall on skateboards, and bringing along the videocamera to document the craziness. Pat's "luge-style" won the day. After the 'Island: behind the scenes' Clip #3 is up, the "Cobo Challenge" skate video is next!
:::"While my dreams didn't come true of a Weezer & fans hacky sack tournament (which it is probably better that way since I royally suck), the Detroit show completely kicked ass!!! Even a couple of my friends who :::I dragged along agreed that the show was amazing, and couldn't stop expressing to me how amazing they thought it was. The floor was...rather painful though. After the first song, I was already completely :::squashed and couldn't move, and had to tip my head backwards just to gasp for air. It's pretty sad when your chant for an encore is something like this, "Weezer, Weezer, Wee..*hack, cough, gasp, random :::profanity*..kill me now!!" People were asking to be lifted up to crowd surf just so they could get the hell out. Sure, it's stupid, and I don't know if some people truly realize how stupid it is, but what :::exactly can you do to stop it? You can't narrow it down to one person. Anyway, after the end of the show and encore, along with a "KISS Farewell Tour" type of bow and exit the stage, I clumsily made my way to :::the back of the arena, drenched in my own (and probably many other's) sweat, where I noticed Karl in the sound booth, so I walked over, shook his hand, and for lack of energy or anything better to say, said, :::"No hacky sack today, ey?" (EY??? I don't know why it was "ey.") He just kinda chuckled I guess, and I don't know if he really even realized what I was talking about, but oh well. So I went & bought a jacket, :::and headed home. Very fittingly, seems it's illegal to drive with one headlight and a tail light out, not to mention turning on to a one way street going the wrong direction (ouch), so we all got pulled over on :::a late night Taco Bell run. Luckily, the guy was cool and let us off. All in all, the Detroit show was completely awesome along with the whole day & night. Even got to meet a pretty cool girl that was walking :::around asking people if they were in a band, and writing them down to come and perform in Detroit for some show. Gave her a ticket for free since I had an extra. Hope it got good use. SWEETNESS WEEZER, :::SWEETNESS AND COMPLETE MUSICAL BLISS!!! Thanks for an awesome show, and come back SOON!!!"-Justin

...MB '05 Tour: Day 95: Travel to Curitiba, Brazil
So today is all about travel. Travel travel travel. In fact, so much travel that it doesnt even fit in one day - we arent even going to arrive in Curitiba untill 10 Am tomorrow, 9/23! (Which, come to think of it, is probably when I'll finally get to post this story. Ain't no internet at 35,000 feet! ...well, there is on a few flights now, but not this one.)
Fortunately, we had a few hours free in Mexico City before we went to the airport this afternoon, so there was a little more walking around and exploring before the endless parade of vans, lines, passports, planes, and going bananas set in. Goodbye Mexico, you were awesome!
Large size picture link: . ('The plane seemed a little breezy up there, but we managed!')
...Next monday 9/26 - Weezer live on the Jimmy Kimmel show!
...German Mtv contest here - vote for weezer! The winning band will have a live performance broadcast on German Mtv! (might be the Hard Rock performance, I'm guessing). note - looks like this contest is closed to non-Euro peeps.

...I've been home for a few days now, and things have been eerily quiet. I've recieved no news at all regarding the producer problem, the recording dates, or anything really....very odd...
However, I was sorting out my stuff from getting off the fall tour and ran across a bit of info I had forgot to post a few days ago...some preliminary tour info for February. While 98 percent of the details are still missing or unknown to me , I can say that the following cities are being seriously considered for stops on the next US tour in February (in no order because we wont know that for months): Austin, Dallas, Miami, New York, L.A., Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. Of course, more dates (and a hell of a lot more info) will be posted here when I know it, which probably wont be for a long time. But thats the latest, hot off the press.
...also, i re-posted the "Cains Cement Autograph" mpeg, i dont know why it disappeared like that, but its back. More goodies to come.

...today = day off in Toronto. jes' chillin'...
...For those who have been demanding some info on the Mikey situation, I have this, and I'm sorry if its not what you wanted to hear, but it's quite literally "all I got":
Whats going on between Mikey and Weezer is a private matter, (as it has been since day 1) and there will be no further announcements, news or speculation in this space unless and until everyone involved is ready to make any statements on the matter. I'm sorry it has to be this way, and I know how concerned some of the fans have gotten over this, but at this point you can at the very least rest assured that Mikey is safe. When there is more news on this, it will be here. In the
meantime, the band will continue to rock out with Scott on bass, and the success of the recent shows has shown that he can weild the bass with the best of them.

500px|09/23/08 Troublemaker Tour Show 6: Lowell, MA - Tsongas Arena 
After 3 days of preparing the tour at Tsongas Arena out in Lowell, today the rubber hit the road, with Angels And Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club showing up to add their stuff to the Troublemaker Tour mix. Tokyo Police Club are from Toronto and have a very cool sound, hard to pinpoint but maybe "post-modern rock"?. Whatever they were doing, many who had never heard them before were really impressed. Angels And Airwaves include ex-Blink 182 man Tom DeLonge and our old Weez & TSG buddy Atom Willard, and they bring an almost theatrical style of rock, anthemic and atmospheric at the same time, which has earned them an army of devoted fans.
Everybody worked hard to get things right tonight. Considering how many things can go wrong on a first night, the whole show went off pretty much without a hitch. At least no major hitches anyway! Kudos to the crews for really juggling some major tech challenges in record time to make everything happen, and congrats to the bands for a great start to the tour!
One of the challenges today was an unexpected eye injury to Brian Bell, which forced him to wear dark glasses to avoid the bright lights on stage, and which restricted his movements during the show (as he couldnt see well enough to safely move around). He is expected to continue playing the shows and to make a full recovery soon, and he thanks his well wishers.
Scott the lighting man says THANK YOU to the hundreds who submitted video clips for our show. As it turns out, due to the nature of the gear he's using, he is able to use your clips directly, with no need to get the master files from you guys. There were many many cool ones and he's having fun trying different stuff out in the show. So you'll just have to come to the show to see what's being used! And you are welcome to add more to the pile for the duration of the tour!

***UPDATE 9/25 - The 9/21 Roxy secret show video is NOW UP HERE, on Guitar Hero 5 Fridays on Yahoo! Music - check it out!***
...Well, you may have already noticed evidence of this elsewhere online, and it is official: "Raditude"'s release date has been moved ahead one week to November 3rd. There is a very specific timetable laid out for album releases and if any element misses a deadline even by a few hours, it throws the whole shebang ahead to the next week. Rarely does every little thing go exactly as planned, so here we are with a new release date. It happens. The good news is everything is looking solid from this point to the finish line.
...waiting on official word about the online presentation of the live secret show filmed at the Roxy on 9/21, presented by Guitar Hero 5 / Yahoo Music. Expecting it very soon. 
...coming up shortly - video shoot!
***Special announcement - Shriner Big Rock Alert!
Scott is playing and singing in a special show this coming Saturday night (9/26) with an "all star band" including such luminaries as Duff McKagan from Gn'R and Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction. This rock show, taking place at The Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd, is a benefit show for Scott Ford, a good friend of Scott's who is battling cancer. Tickets available from The Roxy. Onstage time is 11:30 pm. Support is Jason Heath and the Greedy Souls and there will be an auction of special items including a guitar from Gibson that will be signed by all the artists performing. All proceeds go to help Scott Ford's medical bills.

The Lion And The Witch: out now!
...The good news and the bad. Today, The Lion And The Witch is now officially released in stores. The live set was recorded live in Japan at various venues on the World Cup Tour. The performances capture the band with the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. Our art person Francesca Restrepo put together an outstanding individually numbered, baby gatefold package. Unfortunately, the bad news is, we received our copies of the cd last week only to discover that about 30 seconds were missing. #%+*!!! Somewhere in the time after we approved the master reference cd, 30 seconds were chopped off the end of 'Holiday'. Now, before you get your panties all bunched up, let it be known that the whole song of Holiday is on there. The missing part is the post song dialogue, or, as we now refer to it as, the “Zendai, California Grammy acceptance speech”. So, later this week, we will post the whole version in full mp3-omatic sound for your downloading pleasure, on our audio-video page.
the fans report!
"...Tonight my friend Mark and I took the ferry from Plattsburgh NY where we drove to Burlington, VT to pick up our reserved copies of the EP at midnight! I also saw the import singles so I grabbed them also! There were only like 10 of us who bought the EP at midnight, but it was a good time hanging out at the store a couple hours early and talking with other Weezer fans who for some reason don't like the Green Album (bless their hearts). It was a good time, thanks guys." ---Dan Rock from Plattsburgh, NY.
"...just a heads up on the new hampshire EP action...the local bull moose music in portsmouth nh had a special 12.01 opening for the new EP, and there was a small but loyal crowd of us waiting for it. me and some friends sat outside for 45 minutes discussing issues of the weez. there were about 10 of us kids, and one older guy who couldn't stop talking about how much he loved weezer. he loved frank zappa, and he was telling us how weezer is the only band out there today that really brings the rock! weezer is for all ages! rock!" -jonathan t., barrington NH
"...this is the url to my under construction web site dedicated to the summer ep "the lion and the witch"." Included in his site is a registry to gather as many individual EP numbers as possible. 
Keep Fishin' US cd single: also out today!
This US cd single is the first commercial weezer single in the USA since the "Hash Pipe"/"I Do" 7-inch in 2001. This is a CD only release, containing the radio version of "Keep Fishin'" and the Franklin Mint electro version of "Keep Fishin'" [exclusive to this release!]. There are apparently less than 10,000 copies produced, and from what we understand, they will mostly be turning up in the Boston MA, Houston TX, and Detroit MI areas. we do NOT have a list of retailers for this one! So if you spot it, drop us a line and let us know where you found it.

...summer recording session, day 51. Today the band worked on an additional song. The song was originally worked up into a very solid demo by Rivers in the period preceeding the current recording sessions. The guys wanted to hear how the song sounded if they played it as a band, so they recorded their parts along with Rivers' demo vocals and guitar parts that were already there. The plan is to do this same process for one more song tomorrow, then work for a few days on overdubs for these 2 songs and any other overdubs they deem necessery on the main set of 12 songs. While the main 12 songs are very close to completion (and may be in some cases truly completed) there is no way of knowing this for sure until everyone has had the chance to try everything they think may elevate the tracks. Of course that includes Rivers, who is now away at school for the semester. While everyone agrees that most of the tracks are very close, it may turn out that additional work will be needed. The upshot of all this is that the album probably wont be truly finished until after the holidays, which means it likely won't see release until spring '05, given the several months the record label requires to prepare for an album's release. The cool part is that everything on the album has had (and will have had) ample time to be the best it can be - no rushing or cutting corners.

500px|09/24/08 Troublemaker Tour Show 7: New York City - Madison Square Garden 
Headlining at Madison Square Garden is pretty much every band's dream, and after 15 years, Weezer achieved it tonight. While it's true that many bands can say theyve played the Garden (including Weezer, as far back as 1994), headlining the joint is a tricker task. Scott told the crowd that it was his and every musicians dream come true to do what Weezer did tonight, and speaking personally it was darn cool to see it happen and think about just how far things have come - tho the obstacles have been many. 
Special guest appearences during tonights set included Tom and Atom from Angels and Airwaves, Jackknife Lee (producer of "Pork And Beans" and "Troublemaker"), and of course the massive Hootenanny gang of NYC area fans who came up and blew the Garden away with their unearthly sounds! A deep and sincere thank you to all.
Also in the house tonight was Chris Shaw, the legendary engineer of the Blue Album. Nice to see you again Chris!

UPDATED - =rwa= news here - remember the philly show is being broadcasted tonight on philly in y100 and on the internet via y100's website. it's 9:16 est pm right now and they're saying it should be happening very soon.
...The Tweeter Center is an all seated outdoor "shed" venue, which prevents any crowdsurfing and moshing. But did that stop anyone from having a great time? Apparently not! These folks were stoked! Everyone was standing and dancing, fists pumping, weez symbols flashing...a very cool atmosphere, despite the random heavy rains that soaked the grounds during the day. The one thing that made it a bummer for some attendees was a huge accident on the I-95 that held up traffic for 3 hours. Because of this, some folks missed up to half the weezer set...
:::"Last night was crazy. At first, I was worried it would be rainy, cold
:::and plagued with thunderstorms as the weather report said. But none of the
:::above would rival the mighty =w= !
:::The Start was pretty good! My friend and I were sorta rocking out to it,
:::then they came on with their awesome cover of Nirvana's "Breed". It kicked
:::@$$ and everyone started rocking out in the grundge manner, banging heads
:::and singing along. That was great! I figured the Nirvana fans backstage
:::(a.k.a. Rivers) must have been totally pumped by that. I know I was! After
:::the Start was finished their set, they started getting ready for Weezer, and
:::the crowd sort of filled in. My friend and I chatted about whether or not to
:::get the Start cd and eventually did.
:::When the lights went down, the crowd went up and so did a wall of sound,
:::thundering towards the stage. Weezer came out and the cheers were deafening.
:::The show was great, and my friend screamed the first lyrics of "In the
:::Garage" as the song started, revelling in Weezer's D&D lyrics. After the
:::third song there was an apparent change in the song lists, which Rivers
:::smiled over and made a funny comment about. Then more great songs! The
:::balloon that was hurled on stage during the set was great! Pat aptly threw
:::it back and made a comment, but the applause for him was too great for me to
:::hear what he had said.
:::Scott was surprisingly great. Don't get me wrong, I still want Mikey
:::back, but he rocked like a true weezer. He was really good on 'Hash Pipe',
:::especially when he did a punked out jump!
:::...Anyway, Weezer rocks hard, and may they come back soon
:::for another show!" --Emily
...on a different note, Rivers was unsuccessful in locating a good video game for his computer. We decided on something called "Baldur's Gate", but found that you cant download it, and out at the Tweeter Center we had limited access to any malls, so the quest will have to continue in Philadelphia...
...MuchMusicUSA is running a "viewer made video" contest and the artist for this month is
weezer. Viewers are being asked to make their own 'island in the sun' video. The
winning video will be shown on MuchMusic! At this website, locate the "videolab/videogallery" area you can view the videos. Currently there are 252
video clips for weezer!
