Drum boy

Creamy Goodness

i hope they play a lot from blue and pinkerton, and less from green and mala****e.

the support will be Matt Sharp solo acoustic*

*not true but i still hope

Stargal

I'm so stoked...:)

I'd say there's going to be a good bit from Make Believe, which could be a good or a bad thing... I'd be happy to see them get up there and play almost every song from Pinkerton tbh

It wasn't me!

YAYYYY!!!! Score. Been waiting for this for ages. I'd like to hear some stuff from the Green album, I thought it kicked ass.

John

Basq

Just heard the new single, 'Beverly Hills'.. not amazing but definantly different!

saw them in london in 01 and they only played one song from pinkerton, rivers seems to have something against the album so it's unlikely he'll play much off it unfortunately.

Creamy Goodness

yeh he hates it, well i wouldn't really say it like that but he poured his life and soul into that record and when it flopped upon release he was probably devastated. like anyone would be to be honest.

i was looking at some of the more recent weezer setlists (you have to go back to 2002) and there were something like the make up of this

blue: 6
pink: 6
green: 2
mala: 3

i'd be happy with that, if they don't play any from maladroit and substitute it with make believe

antifyre

About f*************** ********* ********'N time!

*goes away humming 'My Name is Jonas' with stoopid ass grin on face*

L.W

that makes me so happy

Stargal

I e-mailed someone in MCD and they said that there's no venue or date for the ticket sales confirmed yet...

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!

yup there's still no date it is likely to be the ambassador or the olympia though

rabbitinlights

The olympia would be amazing, seen the prodigy there and its a great venue. Id prefer a small venue, but i think they could fill the point.


S.

John

Yes I agree, my living room is an excellent location

Then rumour currently doing the rounds it that it'll be....

wait for it...

... VICAR STREET!!!

I really doubt this is true... did anyone hear of a confirmed venue?

Creamy Goodness

i also heard that it could be vicar street. i dunno though what's the capacity of vicar street?

penexpers

Depends if it's MCD or Aiken doing the promoting.

dregin

If you need a good laugh check the venue on this:

http://www.albumfive.com/tour.php

Basq

OH Dear God!!

I heard Eamonn Doran's mentioned alright.. but i presumed that was for an after-party or something! For fecks sake!

EDIT: According to the Weezer Bulletin Board at the official website, the AlbumFive venue is wrong. Started off as a joke! But i guess we'll see when the official announcement comes through!

EDIT 2: A mate of mine e-mailed the guy who run's that AlbumFive.com site a couple of days back asking him where he got that venue from. He replied that he e-mailed Aiken Promotions and that's what they replied with.

I still reckon the after-show party will be there with the gig in Vicar Street

Creamy Goodness

tbh i don't give a hoot where it is, as long as it's in dublin, or bray for a matter of a fact.

anywhere that's not the pale will be a bad idea (except bray of course).

Gileadi

hope its not in a smallish place like vicar st,if it is the demand for tickets is gonna be so much higher than the capacity

Zyox

I suppose you'd prefer it in the point?

Next to ANYWHERE in Bray of course, Vicar St would be an excellent venue for this gig.

Basq

[rant]
I seriously think Weezer have under-estimated their fan base in Ireland though.

I mean they'd definantly sell out the Olympia or the Ambassador. They'd probably even be close to selling out The Point. So why Vicar Street? Terrible venue for any band, in my opinion!

I do like Vicar Street. It's not a bad venue for simple acoustic acts / comedians but not for bands of this magnitude!
[/rant]

MrJoeSoap

I remember back in the olden days of boards there was a petition doing the rounds to bring weezer to Ireland.

I guess it worked, hehe.

Creamy Goodness

i hate for weezer to play the point, the point is such a horrible venue.

Andrew 83

I think Vicar Street would be great provided I managed to get a ticket! Any of Olympia, Ambassador, Vicar St as long as I've a ticket!

I just can't wait, they better get a move on and announce where soon!

Basq

Mate of mine e-mailed Aiken Promotions regarding the venue.. and they said nothing is confirmed yet.. but keep an eye on VicarStreet.com

What? Vicar Street is so much better than either the Ambassador or the Olympia. It's not even that much smaller, yet besides, the smaller the better, and the sound is usually fantastic. It's great when bands like this makes it to Vicar Street, even though my chances of actually going to this gig and liking the new album are slim.

And no, they'd never fill the Point to any successful degree.

Andrew 83

I don't know why people dislike Maladroit, I think it's a class album. Not as good as Pinkerton or Blue but great anyway.

Creamy Goodness

it's not that it's not good, it's just it's terrible when it's compared to the last work, and lets face it everyone compares albums to albums.

also when Rivers starting writing the green album and later on maladroit he had no connections with the songs the lyrics meant nothing to him.

the worst thing to ever happen to weezer was matt sharp leaving, he was Rivers' main man and if he didn't like what was happening he'd say it.

Andrew 83

Have to agree on Matt Sharp being the man, his solo stuff's alright too but not brilliant. What I miss most abot Matt in Weezer is the backing vocals, Scott's a good bassist but no voice!

Yeah I'd hold that Maladroit's a much better album than Green.

asp

I prefare Matt also. His solo stuff, and the stuff with The Rentals is actually quite good. Very Pinkerton-ish.
Aiken promotions have confirmed that Weezer are booked for June 7th, so I presume that its either Vicar Street or The RDS. My money is on Vicar Street. But the RDS would be cool. Unlikely, but cool

The Pinkerstons are also playing after the gig in Eamonn Dorans.. thats what the mix up is

dregin

The RDS (outdoor) is a worse venue than the point. The sound has always been terrible when I've been at gigs there. Do they have an indoor venue there?

Evil Sausage

It might have something to do with this:

http://www.budrising.ie/

Dont know how many of you guys made it to any of these shows last year, but they were all in small venues and they were all tremendous! It might have something to do with the delay in announcing where they are playing too!

And theres no way Weezer could fill the Point. Not a chance.

fanzhiyidan

i'd say i'd sell my soul to louis walsh...any chance there might be a presale of tickets for fans?

It wasn't me!

Is the venue confirmed yet and are tickets on sale?

asp

venue not officially announced yet, buts gonna be part of the Bud Rising Festival.
Vicar Street, i reckon

Evil Sausage

I dont know. Last year, Budrising put Ian Brown in the Village, The Charlatans in Whelans, Primal Scream in the RedBox and Kings of Leon in Temple Bar Music Centre! It might not be somewhere as big as Vicar St!

Twistedlilkitty

The Venue is going to be Vicar Street, Aiken are afraid they won't sell the tickets.
Good Venue not a great capacity.

Evil Sausage

Well if aiken are so scared of not selling tickets, does that not mean they could potentially move it to a smaller venue?! How are you so sure its going to be vicar street?!

I think s/he was saying that in relation to the RDS.

I'd be putting my money on Vicar Street too, since this is part of a tour and Weezer have never played a show here. Vicar Street is small enough though, the London Brixton Academy is four times the capacity and they're playing two nights at that venue.
