Woo-hoo! Just got the setlist song poll in my email! :) Weezer cruise-goers, what non-Blue, non-Pinkerton songs do you want to hear live?

Permalink Reply by Gohi on December 7, 2011 at 6:07am Honestly, I'd love if the first night didn't have to be greatest hits. More rarities the better imo.
SS2K, Maladroit demos, Green and demos from that era, Hurley, Red album bonus tracks and of course Pinkerton/b-sides from that era and Blue.

i think its unlikely that weezer will play walt disney, lemonade, i was scared, my day is coming, ect or any of the other tracks that are really just rivers songs. those aren't weezer songs, they shouldn't be included in the poll. unless of course rivers is gonna bust out a solo set or something, which would be awesome. hint.
Permalink Reply by Bill on December 7, 2011 at 11:08am weezer has great songs that i've heard live a hundred times. but i gave those songs 1's because i'd rather hear some different stuff.
everythign got a 1 except for the following songs which i gave 10's to:
green: dont let go
maladroit: take control
make believe: this is such a pity
red: EGD, dreamin, GMTEL, pig, angel, sweeney
rad: cant stop partying, trippin, let it all hang out, don't want to let you go
hurley: trainwrecks, ruling me, smart girls, brave new world, time flies
dtfm: i gave 10 to everything.
it would shock surprise me if they play anything from dtfm. i don't believe it will happen. i think its most realistic that they will play 1 or 2 new songs from red that we've never heard live before. and honestly i think a performance of red front to back would be pretty damn cool

Permalink Reply by Daniel [bleed0range] on December 7, 2011 at 11:47am I do not agree. Essentially anything Weezer IS a Rivers song, with the latest stuff being a percentage of Rivers and random other writers outside of the band entirely (and the rare exception). Some of those Rivers demos are Weezer songs, we've just never heard them (like Superfriend which was erased with the full band recording). And I think if it were unlikely they were being played they wouldn't bother putting it into the poll. Recently they played Longtime Sunshine and Blast Off, so it's not at all out of the question.

Permalink Reply by Ali [mutantmanifesto] on December 7, 2011 at 2:58pm I agree with Bill, though I wouldn't mind hearing the songs. If Alone songs get included, why don't The Special Goodness or Relationship songs get included? Mind you, I would LOVE to hear fullband of some (most) of those tracks. I just found their inclusion a bit strange. Not complaining though, gave most a 10.
Also, Daniel, log out of my name before posting. I refuse to rally the troops to give Cold and Damp love.

Permalink Reply by kittens bieber (remix) on December 7, 2011 at 3:30pm i think, given all we know about weezer, that it makes perfect sense to include rivers cuomo's demo songs on the list but not songs from the special goodness or the relationship. as the primary songwriter for most of weezer's existence i would assume he viewed many of his home demos as possible weezer songs, that for one reason or another were never given the full band treatment. i don't think you can say the same thing for pat or brian's own songs.
