What the headline says, really. Hurley‘s glory-days cut “Memories,” the one with the Jackass-themed video, was what Rivers and band delivered to Jay Leno’s late night television program, which is a thing that still exists and is doing better than I care to think about. More happily, and true to their promotion of “Memories,” the band’s label Epitaph has confirmed the “Blinkerton” tour with this statement:
This winter (November/December), Weezer will launch a multi-city U.S. tour, dubbed by fans as the “Blinkerton Tour.” The band will play two shows in each market-on the first night Weezer will play the Blue Album in its entirety, and the second night they will play Pinkerton in its entirety.
Awesome. Also on the posi end of the spectrum is this tweet from Male Bonding: “RT @TimeOutMusic Male Bonding recently went into the studio with Weezer’s River Cuomo. WOW>” So that’s happening, too. You are updated on Weezer now! After you watch this YouTube embed containing the performance of “Memories” for Jay Leno’s late night television program, and also peruse the subsequent list of all the high-profile YouTube channels Weezer “invaded” as part of their YouTube takeover day, which is a promotional activity they recently engaged in. Much as I love Rivers, he’s never met a promotional idea, or a meme, he didn’t fall in love with. Enjoy.

Weezer is so bad, it actually depresses me.
Not a big Weezer fan, but I would like to see the Blue Album or Pinkerton performed live.
“blinkerton tour” sounds good, but i hope they also play a second set, otherwise you’re just getting a 40 min. show
And he has the lyrics written on his arm…it just keeps getting worse.
But is Rivers going to be playing guitar or is he going to be running around like an idiot and making gang signs like he’s been doing? That would make or break the deal for me.
This is down-right embarrassing. How old are these guys? Why is he looking at his watch? Why is the drummer playing guitar? Why does the bass player always look like tool? WOW WHY DO I EVEN WATCH THIS!!!!!!
he’s not looking at his watch, he’s reading lyrics off his arm.
which is probably worse.
yeah let’s all go to the blinkerton tour and make weezer richer so they can keep making shitty music
I have never commented before but I ge4t so sick about peole who sook about weezer. Yeah I think their first two albums were genius and I even bought ‘meet the deedles’ soundtrack. But who cares.Sure I haven’t bought an albums since pinkerton but who cares. Theres so many bands out there to like. Why be stuck in the past hating a band that doesn’t play what you want. Give up
i hope Matt Sharp is some how involved…kilt dude just isn’t cutting it….
and does Rivers stage presence remind anyone else of that fundraiser dude who did “public assemblies” in your middles school gym?
Poor Weezer…I want weird, i want to go to Harvard and quit playing music Rivers back…I saw them at Bonnaroo and was embarrassed for those guys…at least now they are trying to do the “cool” thing and play only the blue album and pinkerton on this new tour, but is it too late? Maybe they should have thought of this before cheesing up Bonnaroo…
Isn’t that one time mini-solo the riff from Rilo Kiley’s “Moneymaker”?
