*The Lion and the Witch (live; 2002)
*"Keep Fishin'" (UK Retail CD #1) (live)
*Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years (2020)
==Overview==
"Death and Destruction" was written by Rivers Cuomo in 2001 and initially demoed to Cuomo's handheld digital recorder. It was first recorded as a band during a recording session at Sage and Sound Recording in September of 2001 as an instrumental. This demo was released on weezer.com shortly thereafter. Weezer performed the song live in concert throughout November and December before the band entered Cello Studios to record Maladroit. The first known version of the song to include vocals was recorded on January 6, 2002, and featured an unused third verse which would be replaced with a guitar solo in later versions.
A live performance of the song recorded at a concert in Japan in May of 2002 was included on the live EP The Lion and the Witch, as well as on a "Keep Fishin'" single release in the UK. Weezer continued to play the song throughout 2005, only bringing it back as an instrumental on two occasions in 2012.

I can't say
That you love me
So I cry
And I'm hurting
Every time
That I call you
You find some 
Way to ditch me
So I learned to turn and look the other way
So I learned to turn and look the other way
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U

Death to False Metal Allmusic record review

Released as an accompaniment to the deluxe reissue of Pinkerton, Death to False Metal is not quite a new album, and not quite a rarities retrospective, either. It’s a collection of unreleased songs the band cut during their 15-year association with DGC, some dating back to the early days, some quite recent, but they’re all given a nice new sheen that makes it sound like a relatively close cousin to Hurley, the band’s indie debut that appeared just two months before this major-label swan song. Generally, the tunes lean closer to classic power pop than either the all-things-to-all-people Raditude, or the glassy modern rock of Make Believe, and in turn, it falls somewhere between the inspired lunacy of the former and the formalist pop of the latter. Apart from the occasional pop culture reference -- the anti-suburban conformity anthem “I’m a Robot” dates it as a ‘90s artifact, the Mac-vs-PC conceit of “Odd Couple” pegs it as a decade later -- this is music that Weezer could have released at any time after their 2001 comeback, and while it’s sonically a little more ragged than any one album, thereby betraying its origins as a compilation, song for song, it’s one of their better records of the ‘00s, as it consists of the best songs, not tunes that fit the sound of a project. It’s a wonder why a few of these cuts didn’t pop up before this, but as a collection of outtakes, they hold together better than some of the band’s proper albums.

Death to False Metal The Onion A.V. Club record review

On paper, it sounded promising: A month and a half after latest full-length (and first for Epitaph), Hurley, the band delivered Death To False Metal, a collection of rare songs recorded by modern-day Weezer. In other words: old songs by a new band, put out shortly after the new album, but on the same day as the deluxe Pinkerton reissue. On release day, the band would be a few weeks away from the so-called Blinkerton tour, and Weezer nostalgia would be as healthy as it has been in recent memory.
In execution, though, Death To False Metal is frustratingly hit-or-miss. For every anthem (the opener “Turning Up the Radio” is fist-pumping fun), there’s a heavy-handed dud (“I’m A Robot,” though rollicking, is lyrically embarrassing). For every solid rocker (the Nirvana-aping “Everyone”), there’s an unrewarding slow jam (“Losing My Mind”). False Metal consistently fails to find a groove. And then there’s the more obvious problem: These songs, created in the late ’90s or early ’00s, could just as easily be performed by a Weezer cover band after a time-lapse. Considering the circumstances, the straightforward Toni Braxton cover tacked onto the end of the record, and the goofy—even for Weezer—cover art, it’s hard to think of this collection as anything more than a few decent tracks padded with sub-par songs to fulfill a contract.
