From Loudersound.
Weezer may be alt-rock geek heroes, but they’ve never hidden their love of 80s metal. And new single I Need Some Of That wears it proudly on its sleeve.
The latest track to be taken from upcoming album Van Weezer, it finds Rivers Cuomo and co nodding towards the great hard rock and hair metal bands of the past (although the lyric video features some decidedly Metallica-esque fonts).
Naturally, the Van Halen-inspired album title is a big reference to where the LA band are heading this time around. We’ll let Rivers himself explain: “We just noticed over the last few years there’d be these moments during the show where I’d accidentally bust out a few harmonics or a whammy bar dive or a little tapping just because I can’t control myself.
“And we noticed unlike in decades past, now the audience would go ballistic whenever they’d hear even a hint of that style. So I started doing it more and more. And soon I’m just like shredding through the whole show and we’re like,v‘Jeez, we should make an album like this.’”
Van Weezer will arrive May 7 via Crush Music/Atlantic Records.

WEEZER Pinkerton (2010 issue UK Deluxe Edition 36-track 2-CD album set - Few albums in rock history have enjoyed as complete a critical and popular turnaround as Weezer's 'Pinkerton'. Though tagged a disappointment upon its 1996 release, today'Pinkerton' is considered one of the most influential and important albums of that decade and beyond. This 2-disc edition adds colour to the band's musical journey with the original Weezer-produced album digitally remastered and expanded with25 Bonus Recordings including every official B-side and 16 previously unreleased recordings. Among the latter are the newly-discovered gem 'Tragic Girl', unreleased B-side 'I Swear It's True' and numerous live performances, particularly noteworthy given that the band rarely played 'Pinkerton' songs after the album tour. The 1996-1997 concert tracks were taken from the Reading Festival, radio station sessions in Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, and a lunchtime performance won in a contest by Shorecrest High School near Seattle. Although not sealed, the foldout digipack shows only the lightest wear and the discs look barely played)
