Song Of The Day

This song has been featured before, but this is a fresh live performance that is quite outrageous. "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On a Shaker Hymn)" was performed live on Spike last night during their video game awards show by Weezer.

The vocals are great by all the band members (though I think the women's choir is a bit stiff throughout). Rivers Cuomo's strange cavorting about the stage is both crazed and inspired.

Gotta love the barefoot, white-suit wearing Cuomo, even if he isn't playing guitar.

The bald guy playing guitar in Rivers' place is Dave Kushner from Velvet Revolver. He and Weezer bassist Scott Shriner are apparently old friends.

Song of the Day - July 9, 2008

Today's update is a Weezer blitz. The song of the day is from Weezer's new self-titled release (also known as the Red Album). The featured track is "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On a Shaker Hymn), a nearly six minute epic that goes through what essentially amounts to ten different songs in one track. Also we've added a link to view the band's video for the monster hit single "Pork and Beans" which has been viewed in excess of 9 million times. In the coming weeks I'll have a review of the album which I shall try to make somewhat unbiased, but from the prospective of a huge fan.
