Then on the 14th we’ll be out in the rugged backcountry of British Columbia, rocking the shores at the Rock The Shores festival! Hope to see you there!

...I've been digging through the overload of leftover tour email these last few days, and I found some pretty interesting fan accounts of their own experiences with the tour. Below you'll see the well written tale of Shannon, take a minute to read it and you'll be glad you did.
...I have learned that Yahoo! intends to make good on its pledge to make sure everyone who was due a special ticket and prize gets them. I will shortly be posting a special email address where, if you bought your ticket(s) online before Jan. 1 and DID NOT get the exclusive stuff that was coming to you (didnt come in the mail, didnt get it at the concert), you can explain your case to them and they will send you what you are owed. They have detailed records of who purchased what tickets and when, so they will be able to confirm people who are owed the goodies.
...I have also learned that Yahoo! is helping to fix some other mix ups as well, such as refunding some fans' auction money for a band meet and greet session that was canceled. Thanks to Yahoo for doing their best to make some wrong thing right!
...I am getting tons and tons of letters about upcoming shows. I DO NOT yet have the details, but they will be posted here and on the RWA news page the second everything is confirmed. Sorry to anyone who isn't sure if they should buy a ticket to a show that claims to feature weezer, that hasnt been posted here yet.
...also, everyone is asking about which songs from the recording sessions will be on the new album, and which will be b-sides or "goners". The sequence (album running order) is almost decided on but not quite yet, so again, you'll have to wait a little longer for this info. The same goes for the album cover. When things are finalized, there will be a lot more info here and all over the RWA.
...other issues that will be addressed pretty soon: the multimedia department (as in, when it will be back up in full), and the fanclub. In almost every aspect of weezer, from the album to the touring to the website, there is behind the scenes work going on in preparation for what looks like a pretty wild ride for 2001. Thanks for your patience while the details are sorted out....

...March 2002 Europe Tour Show #8: Birmingham Academy; Birmingham, England
Another insane show! The Birmingham people went certifiably bananas and put themselves on the same mad pedestal as the Manchester and Glasgow folk. Maybe its the smaller sizes of these venues, maybe its the pent up long wait for the band to get back here, or maybe its just that people in the UK love to freak out at shows... I guess it might be all 3! And the band are definitely also loving these shows and having a good time, with the wild crowds are keeping things very interesting for all. Tonight saw the first true appearance of Remy Zero on the tour, laryngitis cured and energy levels up where they should be. They got it in gear and delivered a great show.
first fan reaction wins the race: "...So yeah, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! me and friend waited well over an hour in the pit to get the best places possible, and it ended up being pretty scary due to all the people fainting, but we helped them out and stuck with it until both of us were right at in front of rivers at the barrier. i couldnt believe it, it didnt sink in it was real, after spending so much time reading all the tour updates and all the pictures, seeing the band in the flesh was something that i couldnt comprehend. The show rocked, "Modern Dukes" sounded great, as well as the rad new solos to the green Songs, but it all was incredible, not a dull second! Then afterwards, while walking on the way to the train station, a guy in a hat and big sunglasses walked past, then it hit me it was Brian and we just
ran to catch up with him, but thank God we did, we got stuff signed etc etc, but it was the best night of my
life-it still doesnt seem real..." -Tom

"Beverly Hills" (officially) world premieres TODAY at 5pm PST on KROQ-FM in Los Angeles! Be there! Today the promo cd single was shipped out to radio stations all over, so your local station should have the song as early as Tuesday 3/22. However the single is officially "added" the following Tuesday, 3/29, so stations that choose to play the song have the option of waiting till then to start, if they wish. Thanks in advance to fans requesting the song!
Meanwhile the "Beverly Hills" video is debuting on Mtv2 with an "All Day Premier" on Tuesday March 29th! Also on MTV2, the Beverly Hills "Make A Video" premieres on Wed, March 30th.
...NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES! Ticket info here. (sorry we dont have any presale passwords, etc. The presale info is apparently being regulated by certain radio stations in the cities where the shows are happening. What normally happens, however, is that the presales do NOT sell all the tickets, they are allocated some of the the tickets, with the rest going on sale on the normal day. So there are 2 'chances' to get tickets, at least, thats how its always worked in the past)
April 26 - Vancouver, BC - Commodore Ballroom
April 27 - Seattle, WA - Moore Theater
April 29 - San Francisco, CA - Warfield
April 30 - Indio, CA - Coachella Festival
May 3 - Minneapolis, MN - First Avenue
May 4 - Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom
May 5 - Detroit, MI - State Theater
May 6 - Toronto, ONT - Kool Haus
May 8 - Boston, MA - Avalon Ballroom
May 10 - Philadelphia, PA - Electric Factory
May 11 - New York, NY - Roseland Ballroom
May 12 - New York, NY - Roseland Ballroom
May 14 - Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle
...The website will be switching over to the new style sometime THIS WEEK, so there are 3 important points to stress:
1. The new site is NOT complete, and it will take several more months for all the content that is currently on weezer.com to be moved over. So when you see the new site, dont panic - there is plenty more to come. Everything thats currently on weezer.com will be on the new weezer.com - just not right away! Thanks for your patience and understanding.
2. The new site is in a state of flux - we are still working on finalizing things, so you may see features change and move around as stuff is tweaked. Also, there may just be times where certain pages are broken or messy. Again, your patience and understanding are appreciated!
3. As stated before, the new message board will NOT include the archived threads, as its a totally different system. Save what you need to save now! Also, many of your screenname accounts have been succesfully migrated over, but not all due to tech issues.

...March 2002 Europe Tour Show #9: Guildhall; Southampton, England
Perhaps the only venue in the world sharing the building with a police station and city hall. As it was Saturday, the workers were thankfully out of office, allowing unfettered rock and roll. Well, mostly unfettered- the Guildhall has a strict no crowdsurfing policy, meaning they eject people from the building as soon as they come over the barricade. The doors at the sides of the stage would ocassionally open as they booted the poor kids out, which also served to let in a big rush of cold night air- sort of refreshing, but also a kind of a rock buzzkill. The loud music, big lights and the hot air really go together in my opinion. Well, I suppose its better than it being so hot that kids pass out, like they were doing in Glasgow.
Anyway, the crowd continued the UK style of going bonkers, and singing along really loud! I think the fear of getting booted kept a slight lid on the insanity till the last song, when people started surfing in droves! Unfortunately Rivers's sore throat made an unwelcome return tonight, holding him back a wee bit. No rock was harmed in the making of this show, however!
After the show, the band got a cool backstage visit from bassist Mark from the Irish band Ash, who toured with weezer back in '96-'97. It was great to catch up a bit with him and trade info from afar.
first fan reaction wins the race: "...Congrats to the band on making the best night of my life. Being at the very
front, dead centre, from Tired Of Sex onwards, getting Scott's pick at the end, meeting Brian, and the band just putting on a brilliant show with a great setlist, made it an incredible experience. The long wait since buying tickets about September last year was well worth it..." --Simon

"Beverly Hills" in streaming media, click and listen!
Windows Media Player here, RealPlayer here
"Beverly Hills" is already getting love at KROQ-FM L.A. (though the new System Of A Down song beat it out in the top 5 at 9 on 3/22...can we hit the top tomorrow?), 94.7 Portland OR, Live 105 SF, 99X Atlanta, WEQX in VT, WRRV Poughkeepsie, and XM radio channel 47 'ETHEL'!
...getting many many questions about possible other tour dates not seen in the current confirmed tours. The basic answer for both North America and the rest of the world is "YES", more tour dates are currently being planned, and they will be announced when known. But there is no solid info as to where specifically the shows will be at this point, so your questions about your city or country cannot be answered at this point.

...March 2002 Europe Tour Show #10: Brixton Academy; London, England
So the weez train rolled into the Brixton Academy, just down the street from the very cool Brixton skatepark, capping off the European Tour with the 5th of what turned out to be 5 killer UK shows. Nearly 4000 fans packed into the Academy and went berzerk, which apparently is kinda unusual behavior for this venue. Members of several bands were in attendance tonight checking out the weez action, including Travis, Muse and Ash.
A heartly thank you to the fans, the crew and all the local help that made this all-too-breif tour such a success. But its not over yet! Now we head to Paris for a couple days of interviews and TV and radio appearences.
first 3 fan reactions win the race: "...And so, Brixton rocked. I just got back, my head is ringing, Only In Dreams ruled the world, and Rivers can't remember the words to Happy Together. And yet, through all of this, the band was amazing, tight as heck. Plus, Bass playing man? NONE MORE METAL!!! Awwww, my head hurts..." ---James
"...It's hard to believe someone when they say 'best show ever'. You instantly assume that perhaps they're still just a little too excited post show and are exaggerating the shows quality. But I can't stop myself from saying it anyway. Best show ever. As great as the =w= shows in London were last summer, this blew them away. Great set, great setlist, great crowd and a great performance..." ---Chris
"...I know I should really be in bed but I thought I'd let you guys know that this last uk show was fantastic!!!! Remy Zero were great and a really good warm up for what was to come!! I had a fantastic view of the stage (but why must taller people always find it necessary to stand in front of me??) and the lighting and sound were tip-top! I was a bit sad I didn't get to hear Keep Fishin' but the set list was great - a nice mix of old (Undone was superb!!), new (great versions of Dope Nose and Superstar) and still to come (Modern Dukes). So please come back to the uk more often as we need you!" ---Tim

...look for the May issue of Alternative Press featuring a Weezer cover story, on the stands soon! cover preview here.
...new Rolling Stone article here.
As revealed in that Rolling Stone article and in a recent press release from Geffen Records, 4 song titles from 'Make Believe' have now been made public: "Beverly Hills", "We Are All On Drugs", "This Is Such A Pity", and "Peace". The albums tracklist has not been finalized yet, as there are still several songs in the mixing phase, and the final tracklist depends on how the mixes turn out. (Because more songs went to mixing than will end up on the album, those that turn out best after getting mixed will make it in.) We hope to have the final track list in 2 weeks or less.
...The streaming 'Beverly Hills' files (below, in 3/23) have been pointed out to sound a bit different from whats getting played on the radio. As I understand it, the radio version (with the female vocals on 'gimmie gimme') is the same as the album version, and there isn't supposed to be another 'final' version. Therefore I conclude that the streams are of an incorrect earlier mix of the song. I am now trying to get them swapped out with the proper files. Sorry for the confusion.
...updated 'Radio Love List': "Beverly Hills" now playing on KROQ-FM L.A., 103.1 Indie LA/OC (with a wee dis in the Punk Rock Minute to boot), 94.7 Portland OR, Live 105 SF, 99X Atlanta, WEQX in VT, WRRV Poughkeepsie, and XM radio channel 47 'ETHEL', 101.7 wfnx Boston, 95.5 wbru Providence ("screamer of the week"), 102.3 KBXR in Columbia, MO (on "What's New for Dinner"), 89X in Detroit, 102.9 the Buzz Nashville TN, (???) Utah, 107.7 The End Seattle (#2 on "People's Choice Countdown"), Sirius Radio (Channel 21 Alt Nation), 102.1 Milwaukee, weqx 102.7 Upstate NY (#1 request 3/23!), 94.9 San Diego, 91.1 (91x) San Diego ("Weezer Wednesday" 3/23).

...well, the only tour related news I can definately confirm so far is that the Japan tour has been moved a bit, It should be starting about a week later. I'm not sure yet if all the shows were just moved or if some had to be cancelled or postponed. As soon as I know, you will too.
...I recieved a nice pile of more cool fan's tour stories, so many that I had to start a new page (long overdue anyway). click here to check out some very cool weezer tales!
...well weezer took Philly, but the same cannot be said of D.C.! Apparently D.C's WHFS also had one of those listener-voted 64 band "final 4" style challenges, and in the second round, weezer got taken out by none other than Limp Bizkit. D'oh!

Today was a travel day, we rode the Eurostar train thru the Chunnel to Paris France, for 2 days of interviews, photos shoots, and a TV appearence on something suspiciously called 'Hit Machine'. The last time the band was in Paris was last summer, for the show that has the distinction for being the hottest weezer show of all time, with a venue that had no windows, usable doors, ventilation or air conditioning, during one of the worst heat waves in Paris history. This time the weather is much much easier to handle, and Paris is as beautiful as ever.
Before heading to Paris, Rivers and Pat stopped by the BBC to do an interview with DJ Steve Lamaq for later broadcast. Pat characterized the interview as "...breif...and cordial."
...Rolling Stone sez (regarding the year 1995) "...The music scene was full of open possibilities that are now zipped tighter then Jessica Simpson's Lycra cat suit. Brit pop, trip-hop, drum-and-bass, indie rock and zines were exploding. Half-famous bands such as Elastica, Rancid, and Stereolab could get airplay without having to cover up their personalities. But today, after the disastrous Telecommunications Act of 1996, the phenomenon of half-famous bands has disappeared, and with it, so has cool rock on the radio. Unless you count that quintessential 1995 band, Weezer."
