Weezer Add Jam To Their Pork & Beans*
There should be some kind of guide book for all bands, that at some point in their career, they should arrange a massive jam of their songs with a bunch of fans, all carrying their own instruments, in what looks like a school music room. Whether they also choose do to this wearing a T-shirt which has a radioactive half-life of 50 years is really by the by.
*OK, so it's not 'Pork & Beans', it is, of course, 'Say It Ain't So'.
This is what Weezer have been up to recently. They're off around the States (sadly nowhere near here) on their Hootenanny Tour, and all of their concerts involve a massive audience participation, which is halfway between a campfire singalong and the .
It's such a lovely idea, don't you think? Something I am sure would catch on if only more bands would give it a go. Sadly I suspect they will consider it to be Weezer's exclusive property as an concept, and Weezer probably won't bother to ever do it again, because that would be repeating themselves, which 'true artists' never do...
So, y'know, enjoy it while you can!
Here's the band explaining the whole thing, and also giving important musical tips for anyone hoping to rock in a Weezer style.
Bassoons at the ready! Fifes akimbo! Bagpipes ho! Let's ROCK THIS MOTHER!

Instead of getting everybody else to tune down half a step, why don't they just tune normally like everyone else, huh...huh?
Selfish ;)
