This Weezer & Kenny G Video Is Your Daddy
These days with Weezer it's all about the =w=TF, particularly when it comes to collaborations: yesterday we learned Rivers was doing a song with Adam Lambert while watched him pull Blair Waldorf on stage on Halloween at Hammerstein for "If You're Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To)." As previously reported, the band's Spinner session ushers in a whole new round of fun, first and foremost via the soprano sax of Kenny G. Who knows if Kenny G or even Weezer is in on the joke at this point, but the performance itself, and watching The G walk out with his curls and start laying out the offensively inoffensive sax licks over "I'm Your Daddy," is a guaranteed smile -- particularly when he and Rivers lock eyes and grin on "this ain't improbable," which seems to have become a credo for latter day Weezer. Also, Rivers and Kenny are ageless just like Keanu. Anyway there are two more for you, too: Instead of Leighton Meester on "If You're Wondering" this Spinner set brings Sara Bareilles, and it actually came out great (because Sarah actually can sing), along with Chamillionaire replacing Weezy on "I Can't Stop Partying," laying down a de novo verse which doesn't focus on the Weezer/Weezy wordplay similarity because Chamillionaire is a smart rapper, that's how he's made chamillions of dollars.

Speaking of dads, Raditude comes free with a purchase of the Weezer Snuggie. Watch their infomercial that would have been a lot funnier a year ago.

autotuned vox? srrsly?
Score = 0
What makes you think that? I know "autotune" is the buzzword of the moment but Rivers has always been able to sing spot-on when he really tries.
Most bands use some small form of pitch correction for maybe a 2-5% correction if they're playing shows every night but not many do the whole 80-100% correction like Black Eyed Peas or Miley Cyrus...
And wow, I know the site isn't completely saturating the internet right now but I had no idea so many hipsters that only like the "older stuff" were on here. NO BAND could EVER follow something like the Blue Album and not get criticized and compared to it for everything they do after it. It was and is epic, and it always will be. It's still current and still sounds as good as anything new that has come out in the last decade. Just let Weezer be who THEY are, not who YOU think they are. If you want put up a fuss and nitpick career moves, do it to someone that deserves it, like Nickelback...

For the love of all things, please stop covering this band the way you have for the past 5 years. They are old and boring.

Why must I come here everyday, only to see yet another post on one of the most disappointing bands of last 15 years??? Please stop dignifying this crap. We get it! Rivers is a embarrassing. Lets move on. How about some news on Vivian Girls?!? Lol.

Rivers looks more like Rick Moranis from Honey I Shrunk the Kids every day.

I think he looks more and more like Woody Allen every time i see a picture of him.

Not aging? Rivers has a bald spot. I feel like the constant coverage is a devil's due from having them in for the sessions thing.

I think the Weezer snuggie videos are more entertaining:

"Chamillionaire replacing Weezy on "I Can't Stop Partying," laying down a de novo verse which doesn't focus on the Weezer/Weezy wordplay similarity because Chamillionaire is a smart rapper, that's how he's made chamillions of dollars."
funny you should say that...since chamillionaire is giving a talk on entrepreneurship with quincy jones at STANFORD tomorrow. fucking crazy.
Score = 0
A few observations:
1) This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't Weezer. It's really not horrible music, it's just disapointing. I've been a hater ever since Matt left, but now I think I'm warming into a nice mushy "meh".
2) The camera man doesn't understand that Pat Wilson is a part of the band.
3) My wife walked in during "Can't Stop Partying" and said "I don't get it, they look like nerds." and it brought back so many memories of the old Weezer.
Score = 0
The fist bump between Rivers and Chamillionaire towards the end is epic!
Plus the three part harmony at the end of the song with Sarah Bareilles sounds good, along with the funky groove the song has. This album might produce a couple of fun songs for the live show, interspersed between Blue Album and Pinkerton classics.
Please stop hating on modern Weezer... they are clearly having fun, and at least their live show is still pretty entertaining

Rivers is starting to look a bit like an old lesbian.

Do Rivers and Chamillionaire have the same choreographer?

These are three of the BEST music videos I have ever seen. Is Weezer in the running for most entertaining live band on the planet? I THINK SO!

oh god dammit. This is messing up memories from so long ago. I realize a band has to change. With that said I wish they would change into zombies. Zombies can't write lame songs. Sorry Weezer. Your an old girlfriend that was hot in high school, but grew up to be fat.
