ALL | ALT REPORT | CLASSIC
Rivers Cuomo
HUGE TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT

Guys, usually I don't 'report' tour dates and stuff, but I think this tour is gonna be one that we remember for a long time.

What if I told u 2 of the biggest rocknroll bands of all time were going on tour?
What if I told u that u could experience some of the most influential music of all time for just the price of 1 ticket?
What if I gave u a clue, and said =w182= ?
Would u be able to guess

MTHRFCKNG WEEZER

AND MTHRFCKNG BLINK 182
are fucking going on tour

Holy fucking shit. I am a 34 year old alt, so I have been around for a while. I know a lot of tweens only know about these bands' recent stuff, but cmon yall. You can't deny that this is serious shit. Like if you told me 15 years ago when I was a kid growing up in SoCAl that these bands would be selling out huge amphitheatres, I would have told u 2 shoot more heroine in2 my veins.  Who woulda thought these bands would become rock gods?  Do you realize how influential these bands are?  They revolutionized everything.

This is fucking huge. I was fucking sad that Blink 182 broke up, but I think now they realize that 'all the small things' are important, and u should just chill out and be bros.

I'm gonna see all of my favourite songs. Rivers Cuomo is seriously a rock god and a genius. Did u know he went to Harvard? The guy can seriously take a shit, and it's a masterfully written pop song.

I am seriously fucking pumped yall.

(There is also an opening band called the Fall Out Boys.  I think they are a local band or something.)

Steve Aoki joins Weezer / Weezer joins the Steve Aokis


Not sure what is going down in this picture, just saw it on the twitter, so u can basically assume whatever explanation u want. It seems like Rivers Cuomo, the 'frontman songstress' of Weezer is abt to get in some sort of rocket ship, but then popular California electro nightlife DJ Steve Aoki is like 'bro, cmon....let's vibe out... Can I go 2 space with u and bring my Ableton Serato computer 2 play for aliens?"

Then Weezer bro is all like "aw hell naw... I'm going to the moon to play rock n roll. Can u play guitar?"

Then Aoki is like "Nah bro. I'm an effing DJ--that's what I do. Trust me. Let me spin live with ur band. I can add a fresh element to the band that you guys have been missing 4 a long time."

Then Rivers is like "Hmmm... Is that rlly gonna work."

Aoki responds with a dead serious voice, "Have u heard of Crazytown? How about Limp Bizkit. Kid Rock during his early phase. How about effing Linkin Park. If we utilize modern technology we can become some of the greatest modern artists of all time, like the Lincoln Parks."

Anyways, then they get on the space shuttle, and chill for a while as it blasts off. People watch on TV and they are like 'whoa."

But then some dude comes on the radio and is like "Houston.... We have a problem...."

A meteor is heading towards Earth, so they want them to try to land on it, and drop an atomic bomb on it.

They land on the comet, and set down the bomb, and Aoki is tweeting like "Uhh... What did I get myself in2."

Rivers is like, "It's gonna be okay. They will name public elementary schools after us."

They put the bomb down on the asteroid, but the timer isn't working. Some1 is going to have to stay behind.

They play paper rock scissors and Aoki loses because he picked paper, but Rivers picked scissors.

Aoki sits on the comet as the space ship takes off to Earth. He pressed the bomb.

"Boom!" it explodes the comet. Aoki some how finds a jet pack and escapes off the comet, then chills thru the atmosphere and lands in a pool in Vegas.

Rivers is all like "Sick."

Then they are both like, "Our band is more relevant than Linkin Park. We saved the effing world. Always believe in the power of music. Always believe in the power of rock n roll."

Was Armageddon the #1 movie abt a comet hitting Earth and gauging human reaction
Is Steve Aoki a national hero?
Did Steve Aoki save the world?
Who shoulda stayed on the meteor?
What's the difference between a comet, meteor, and an asteroid?

SWEET COLLAB?: Steve Aoki invites Rivers Cuomo to sing “Hash Pipe” while he DJs
</embed>

For some reason, Steve Aoki and Rivers Cuomo threw down some 'collab.' Not sure if they have an mp3 coming out together soon, or if they are just on the same mainstream record label or something. N e ways, Rivers Cuomo came out to sing a song while Steve Aoki DJed. It seems like the electro teens filming this vid 'lost their shit' when this modern karaoke sesh started.

They seem like chill bros, just chilling, throwing down a collab that shows they are 'dynamic performers' and ultimately open to 'new markets.' Aoki wants to open for Weezer, and Rivers Cuomo wants to 'feel cool' by reaching out to electro California teens.

Here is another crappy 'fan vid', but then the song "Hash Pipe" starts playing, and Riversbro sings over it.

Do yall feel like u missed 'history' by not being there?

Is Rivers Cuomo 'leaving Weezer'?
Is having a DJ more cost effective than touring with a band?
Will Steve Aoki collab with more indie giants?
Is Steve Aoki 'the most successful DJ of our generation'?
Is Weezer 'indie', 'old skewl indie', or 'mainstream as eff'?
Do u wish u got to witness a once in a lifetime collab?
Are they authentic bros or was this just 'a business decision'?

Should Steve Aoki invite the guy from MGMT to karaoke with him in 2k16?
