From www.weezer.com :

well, its been a long time coming, but from 'on high', we have a tentative release date for BOTH "Video Capture Device" (the Weezer DVD), AND The Blue Album Deluxe Edition: March 23, 2004. (Now, "tentative" means they have put them on their release schedule, and this date is subject to revision. But - if the release date is in fact changed, it won't be changed by much.)

Thats right, The DVD and the Deluxe Blue Album are coming out on the same day. As previously reported here, the DVD will have over 3 hours of videos, mini-documentaries, live footage, and behind the scenes action dating from 1991-2002, and will have optional band member commentary on many of the DVD's selections. The Deluxe Blue Album will be a 2 disc set that includes the blue album and a disc with all the b-sides and a selection of rare and very rare tracks, plus a big fat booklet with lots of stuff to read and tons of pix, many never before seen.

In the coming weeks/months, the release date will be confirmed and youll see the cover art for the dvd. At the moment, the DVD's final assembly and production session is slated for the beginning of February. As more info becomes known it will appear on this news page. Thanks to all the fans for your support and patience on these projects!





I dont know if anyone other than me has been following this, but this DVD has been in works for years, hopefully it ends up being decent.

Also, for those of you who didnt know: Weezer have been in the studio the last few months with Rick Rubin working on a new album. This is the first time they've had a 'big name' producer on an album.

:ohmy:

Is it sad that I actually knew they went to that show before you even typed anything about it??
 
Seriously?? How funny! Tenacious D was with them, since they opened up for Weezer in St. Louis the following evening. Jack Black made like 50 beer runs, haha.

You know, a few weeks back I was lamenting the fact that I really need some new Weez music. Then I realized how spoiled we are with the last two albums coming out so quickly.

I still want more =w=...guess I'm just a greedy girl!! :wink:

Weezer would be such a kick-ass opening act for U2. Maybe their albums will come out around the same time.

I agree, but I'm sure most U2 fans would hate it. (It seems like no matter who the opening act is, half of them will always complain)
 
it's cos 90% of u2 fans seem to compare every other band to u2...you CAN like other music!!

:rolleyes:
 
:der: so finally weezer has an album longer than 45 minutes?
