weezer June 12, 2024: Glasgow, Scotland, at the @ovohydro arena! We had a blast! It was another night of power and glory, sharing the stage with @smashingpumpkins and @teen_mortgage and all the fans who packed in and sang along - thank you! Of immense historical importance, tonight @rivers_cuomo attempted to twerk, inspired by watching @dojacat the night before. Based on the results, it appears this was likely a one off. #karlscorner #twerkcorner

Well, folks, Its time to tour again... Unless I can get access to a laptop on the road, this will likely be my last entry for a while. Hopefully not. We shall see. Anyway, I wont be able to access my email for at least several weeks, if not longer. I'm trying to get hooked up for on the road web reporting direct to RWA. I hope I can.... anyway, if you can make it to a show, I'll see you there! Thanks again for all your kind comments and letters!!

And thanks to all the crew members who have been working tirelessly to make@these shows happen, and @smashingpumpkins and @teen_mortgage for sharing the stage with grace and power! One more to go tomorrow: Cardiff! #karlscorner

Karl's Corner - 06/15/2001

Wow! Today's show was super rocking! Everyone in the band had a good show and loved the setlist, which had 5 of the brand new songs included. One of these, "High Up Above", had never been played in front of an audience before! The Finnish crowd went BANANAS, cheering, singing along, and generally freaking out with the best of them, even during the brand new songs! Everyone agreed it was a good show. I think it was inevitable, because after almost a week of travel, interviews and lip-syncing, everyone was bursting with energy, and this was a nice full setlist to stretch out in, at last!
This festival takes place out in this forest in the middle of nowhere, and there were all kinds of other stages, as well as tons of booths and tents and stuff to do. It was best described as "a hippie Renaissance festival, only with cell phones". Rivers wandered around in the crowd for a while and reported a "Bacchanalian" scene, complete with "lots of humping and vomiting". Well, when the sun doesnt set till 11:30 PM, I guess its time to party.

...early next week the band reunites in Los Angeles, and jumps right back into work. First they will be shooting a new video, this time for "Keep Fishin'". I've gotten a sneak peek at the video plan, and all I can say is, this is the coolest idea for a video I've seen in LONG time! No lie!
After the video wraps up on Wednesday, the guys get back into the studio to work on new songs and old, in preparation for the recording of Album 5. Whether demos or full recordings (or just 2 weeks of intensive practice and writing) come out of this session remains to be seen. The plan is to devote a good deal of the fall to recording #5, so the guys want all the prep time they can get now, as summer will be mostly touring.
...at last we have the scoop on drummer Pat's The Special Goodness's opening dates on the upcoming Enlightenment Tour. The SG will be playing on the Second Stage for 6 shows: in Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix. No word yet on the exact Second Stage running order and details, everything will be on the Tour page when we have it.
...okay, its taken a long time, and for that an apology is due to all, but at last the "fanclub" page is up. [accessed from the "weezer fans" section of the site]. This page took so long because there was some re-thinking of how all the fan-organized stuff worked, and, as you'll see, theres now room for ALL the clubs, groups, online stuff, weezer gatherings, etc, and its designed to accomodate plenty of new additions! Take a look, and please, if you think something's missing, let us know and it will be added!
...theres a good deal more radio and chart action cropping up around the globe, an update will be up asap.

2012/06/15 Show Day: Las Vegas, NV: Mandalay Bay: The Beach Stage
On this hot dry Friday, Team Weezer has rendezvoused and even reconnoitered in Las Vegas, assembling from various locales via jets both large and small, to play the outdoor Beach Stage at the massive and fancy Mandalay Bay Resort/Casino ubersupermegaplex. Its a date with density, as heat, water, rock, roll, Rivers, Pat, Brian, Scott and a big pile of party people combine to make something greater than the sum of its parts, a weezer concert in the desert.

weezer Madison Wisconsin brought it! Out in a old soccer field, our toolbox of stage tricks a bit light tonight, but the Rock was bigger than ever and the crowd was 🍌!!! Thank you to @momma.band @modestmouse our tireless crew and everyone who came and rocked with us - especially @dietlite_evan who finally got to play the ”Buddy Holly lick” with the band! #karlscorner

weezer June 14, 2024 @cardiff_castle - we could think of no cooler way to end this run with @smashingpumpkins and @teen_mortgage than at a 1000 year old castle in a cold rain! Thats what rock is all about! All the elements were in place for “epic” and epic it was, thanks to the crowd who brought the century spanning energy! This was weezer’s first ever show in Wales, let’s make sure its not the last! NEXT… Voyage To The Blue Planet…. See you there? #karlscorner

Karl's Corner - 06/16/2001

Today was a loooong day. We assembled in the lobby in Finland at 5:30 AM, went to the Vassa Airport, got on a fight to Helsinki. Landed in Helsinki, switched to another flight to Stockholm, Sweden. Went to Stockholm and met out tourbus, at last. boarded the bus and then had a 4 hour drive to where the Hultsfred festival was happening. We get to the festival and it feels like November, very cold and raining. How do all those people in the audience survive these things? I guess "beer" could be an answer... Iggy Pop played before weezer, and once again was the living embodiment of all things loud and crazy. Good job Iggy!
Anyway the guys set wasn't till Midnight, so for several hours it was Swedish Press time. Nord(?) Mtv, ZTV (for which Pat and Mikey insisted i sit in with them), and several print interviews as well. Then off to catering, where there was some very curious pasta sauce going on, kind of bologna flavored. Firp...Anyway the festival was a tremendous sucess for the guys, once again the audience was loud and proud, and everyone had a great time on stage, playing a thundering weez-set as the rain poured down!
After the show we packed up and started the 8 hour overnight drive to Oslo, Norway... 
Category:Karl's Corner - June 2001
Karl's Corner - 06/17/2001

We pulled into Oslo about 11 AM, checked in, and after a good round of teeth brushing, etc., it was on to explore the city on this day off. Lots of wandering around and enjoying what we found to be a really cool city. It was Sunday so most shops were closed, so the activities involved sightseeing and eating. Deep breath... Tomorrow, we return to the rock.
...And hey, don't forget to always check the "RWA news" page too (click on the right side banner up at the top) Dan works hard to keep it chock full of handy info, such as links to interviews, heads-ups on new stuff throughout the site (seen the new shirts yet?), and all kinds of useful info that I don't have a chance to keep track of over here in the corner. 
Category:Karl's Corner - June 2001
Karl's Corner - 06/17/2002

...okay, tomorrow (Tuesday), the guys go to film the "performance" portions of the "Keep Fishin'" video. On Wednesday they go in again, to do the "storyline" parts. And Thursday they will be back in the studio, doing "pre-production" for album 5, which will likely include some recording...
...Maladroit Action: early "Keep Fishin'" activity!
Several stations have picked up "Keep Fishin'" in the wake of Los Angeles' KROQ 106.7 already frequent play. People have been reporting hearing the track (usually the new version, but ocassionally the album version where noted) on:
92.3 Krock NYC, 94.7 Chicago [debuted at #7 on the "online 9 at nine"], Y100 Philly [has had a 2 night reign as champion of the Cage Match! big ups to DJ Ben Harvey!], Seattle's 107.7 the end, 94.7 KNRK Portland OR (album?) [won the cockfight!], 95.5 wbru Providence RI, 104.3 KMBY Santa Cruz, CA (album), x102.3 The X in Fort Wayne, IN [is the new "Cage Match" Champion!], 105.1 KCCQ Ames, IA.["Vibe-Rater" song of the night], 103.9 the X in dayton ohio [on "Spin Cycle"].
...more radio action including continued "Dope Nose" support in radio and video, and international news coming tomorrow.
...random thing 1: I took another look at one of the Maladroit number registration pages, and it had really grown! over 1800 people have submitted their maladroit number to date, making for an interesting cross section of fans! I dont know why, its just cool to me.
...random thing #2: There's a new NBC series called "Dog Eat Dog", which today included a trivia game where contestants had to fill in the name that would link 2 "stars" together. For example "Ricky (blank) Lawrence" would be Martin. Finally the following came up: "Joan (blank) Cuomo". But did the guy know the answer which was so clear to every weezer fan? Nope!
...random thing #3: weezer is currently the featured artist on mp3.com.

Karl's Corner - 06/17/2008

Today was the Phoenix Hootenanny. About 200 fans, randomly selected by the Edge radio station joined the band at The American Legion Post 41. Were you there? Did you bring an instrument and play along? Tell your story! Add a comment to this news report! 
Here's a fan's video clip, hot off the press! 
Also, the Edge's webcam seems to have captured some pre-show set-up.
SPECIAL NOTE: As weezer emerges from spring training into regular season action, we suddenly have a member on injured reserve. For those keeping score, please scratch Patrick Wilson from tonights line up. The strong right hander tore up his knee up in that friendly basketball game with team mate Johnny Knoxville. The good news is that even though he is expected to be out until the Century City hootenany with Yahoo being taped June 23rd - he WILL in fact be rested up and ready for that one. After that performance, he then goes under the laser for minor knee surgery. A full recovery is expected before the fall playoffs when Weezer hits the road in Japan and the good ol' USA.
NEXT UP: Thursday 6/19: PORTLAND, OR! KNRK is handling it! Good luck!
See the band's instructional video clip (now on the homepage and media page, and our Youtube channel and our Myspace Video page), letting you know critical details about how to play the songs! Definitely watch this video, youll need it to know what key the songs are in and other musical details!! Remember, if you get in, be prepared to at least sing, and bring an instrument if you can play it! Anything!
songs to learn and sing: same as Phoenix: 
Pork and beans 
Island in the sun 
Say it aint so 
Creep by radiohead 
El scorcho 
Beverly hills

...Today's show was at the Rockefeller Music Hall, a 1300 person capacity club that was packed to the rafters with a sold out crowd. It was cool getting back to the "normal" club show after all the Hooptie gigs and big outdoor festivals, but at the same time the guys reported feeling a little weird, like those big festival stages were starting to feel kinda comfortable. Fortunatley this band seems to do well almost anywhere you set them down! The Oslo folks were obviously overdue for the Weez and chanted along with every song except the brand new ones, which they seemed to love at first listen.
...After the show, we grabbed some suspect falafel at one of the ubiquitous "kebab" places, and me and Beebe skated some sweet metal curbs across the street. Then we were off to Copenhagen, Denmark!
...if you haven't spotted it yet, theres a free mp3 posted over on the "audio video" section. Its the demo of "Burndt Jamb" from the band's 5/30 session in Washington DC! From weezer to you, enjoy!

...MB '05 Tour: Day 38: Fly home from Europe
Well, thats it for a short but very sweet visit to (some of) Europe. Thanks again to all the awesome fans who came out to the shows, support acts The Subways and Tegan And Sara, and to the crew for kicking ass. Today we woke up in Glasgow, went to the airport, and flew back to the states for 2 weeks of relative calm. sometime the week following this, the band and crew will reconvene in L.A. to do a production rehearsal, where the new lights and sound stuff will be tested (got some cool stuff lined up for the summer!), and the band will rehearse some more songs in order to beef up the setlist for the beefier shows...

...Congratulations to Rivers and Kyoko Cuomo!
The wedding was at a secluded beachfront cliff property in Paradise Cove, Malibu, and was attended by about 100 friends and family members. It was a fun day where many mini-reunions took place. For the first time in possibly, ever, the following folks were all in the same place: Rivers, Brian, Pat, Scott, Matt Sharp, Jason Cropper, Patrick Finn, Takashi Hasegawa, Justin Fisher, Adam Orth and Kevin Ridel. Not to mention the many family members from both sides of the Pacific ocean, and some special guests including Rick Rubin. Fine live string quartet music and delicious vegan fare capped off a most special day.
Large size picture link: . In this photo we see 6 of the 7 career spanning weezer members all in one spot: Matt, Brian, Pat, Rivers, Scott, and Jason. There it is, y'all.

We rolled into Copenhagen mid-morning, and discovered that the hotel was across the street from Pumpehuset ("Pump House"), the club. Nearby was a major pedestrian street market zone, so most of us got their stroll on and their snack on before getting down to the business of rock and roll. The guys did some interviews for the Denmark press after soundcheck, and foosball was enjoyed. Tonight's set again delivered plenty of the newest songs, which the Copenhagians (?) seemed to love! Of course, this was at the sacrifice of a few older songs, for which we heard several critiques, too. The guys experimented and did an unusual version of "Only in Dreams", playing only the buildup/freakout part after the vocals were done. A few in the audience seemed to scratch their heads, but most looked pretty stoked.

Today was the Portland Hootenanny, which was held at the beautiful Oaks Park amusement park in a building known as The Dance Hall. Rivers found some lifesize R2-D2's in a back room which were immediately purloined to add decor. As was an antique carnival camel. Then in came the peeps, carrying a dizzying array of instruments. The band (sans injured reserve Pat) had a blast, and the hootenanny sounded great! Great job from the Portland hootenanny class of '08! Post show the guys decided they had to take a spin around the go kart track convieniently located next to the Dance Hall.

Well, the new Pixar film "Cars 2" is out Friday June 24th, and as you may know by now, it features Weezer's new cover of the Cars' song "You Might Think". (official video above!) Because the Cars' leader Ric Ocasek produced both weezer's Blue and Green records and the band are huge fans of the Cars, covering the song felt like a perfect plan. More here on spinner.com.
Preview the Cars 2 Soundtrack (including Weezer's "You Might Think") on AOL Music here. And there is a Youtube player up that samples the soundtrack songs too, here.

We rolled on to Amsterdam instead of Dortmund today, to meet up with a replacement bus, and to enjoy a free day in Amsterdam too, of course! Lots of walking around, and a very cool visit to the Van Gogh Museum, which no one has ever had a chance to see before. Dinner was at a rad Japanese restaurant where the food is prepared right in front of you by a highly skilled chef. Kind of like a non-cheesy Benihana.
