A Weezer Concert Film Is Set For Release

If you missed Weezer performing live in the area, you kind of get a second chance.  A Weezer Concert Film is set for release!  It’s a stop on their Voyage To The Blue Planet Tour.  Now, I reviewed the show I went to, but I have to reiterate a few things.

First off, yes, Weezer plays the Blue Album (their debut) in its entirety.  And they knock it out of the park.  The guitar riffs, the harmonies, the slow build-ups.  It’s a sight to behold.  They also play a ton of fan favorites before getting into the Blue Album. 

Now, since you have a chance to see this concert streaming from your own home, I don’t want to ruin much.  I’ll just tell you that there’s a really cool story that takes place throughout the show.  Rivers Cuomo and the band head out on a space adventure. Let’s just say that throughout it, they go through other planets and galaxies and that’s where the “Other” songs come into play.

The concert footage was filmed at Boston’s TD Garden on September 10^th.  They’ve made it into a full-fledged concert film which you can stream either October 13^th or October 14^th.  The tour’s not over yet, but I think this is so cool for fans who passed on tickets but ae kicking themselves for not going.  I almost didn’t.  My wife and I thought it was pretty expensive and it was tough to get seats.  But after witnessing the whole show, I can tell you…..it was worth it!

I think even from home you’ll get a  great experience and be able to follow the story.  Plus, the sound will most likely be better as I’m sure it will come from the mixing board.

Even if you’re a passive Weezer fan I highly recommend this.  It’s a really fun experience!

We saw the Linkin Park countdown and then counted up. And now we are waiting for a Linkin Park special event on YouTube This Thursday.

The event will take place at 6pm EST on Youtube Thursday. More waiting , I know, but at least we know something is definitely coming. Or at least we think!

I was hoping that Linkin Park would be announcing either a tour with rotating vocalists or maybe even an album of new music starring guest vocalists throughout the album.  I thought that would be something really fun and not take away from Chester Bennington’s legacy.

A tour would be fun to see the rest of the band.  They are super talented and play so well live.  I thought it’d be cool to have a tour with revolving singers at different locations or something like that.  An album of new music would be tremendous as well, however instead of announcing one new singer, I thought they could just have different guests on each track.

What makes Linkin Park so special is their ability to craft songs that are all over the map sound and no two songs sound alike.  There’s always a unique spin and they could go from ballad to in-your-face, loud, and heavy guitars in a matter of minutes.  But of course, to me, the band was and always will be Chester Bennington.  His voice was so extraordinary.  He went from melodic, soft singing to near screams in just seconds.  And live, he always sounded flawless.

The Linkin Park sound couldn’t be defined.  It had elements of hip hop sure, but it was straight-up hard rock at moments - trippy, experimental tribal anthem the next.  You really got a good mix that was so interesting!

What a cool, interesting vibe. It's got a lot going on in this tune, with some cool drums and a relatable lyrical theme from Chester. Really cool stuff!

Such a dark sounding song.  Yet it's hopeful and intriguing, and emotional all at once.  A real masetrpiece.

This one pumps me up.  From the album that left fans divided "A Thousand Suns".  There's no denying that this song is filled with hope and passion in Chester's voice.

This is really a rare example of hip hop - metal.  It's got elements from both genres and is so angst ridden, that it fuels and pumps you up.  Such great screams towards the end!

A really nice ballad that just has a lot of heart and emotion.  Really a cool laid back vibe with a nice melodic hook!
