Moving Pictures The Return of Rivers Cuomo Feat. Hayley Williams
Posted by Seth Graves on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Narrowly escaping a Cliff Burton-esque fate last month, Rivers Cuomo and his Weezers played their first show since the accident at the University of Florida State University[1] last night. This occasion gets the obligatory Nashville name-drop, since Paramore's Hayley Williams joined them onstage for a rousing rendition of "Say It Ain't So." Her contributions aren't really audible in this video, but if it's that exciting to you, you're bound to catch it again this May when the two bands co-headline the Bamboozle fest in New Jersey.
Also, during the course of writing this, I realized how much more excited I am about the new Paramore record than I am a new Weezer record, despite the fact I won't actually buy or listen to either. So, take that for what it's worth, folks.

You all realize that this is greatest thing that's happened to me in music in, like, five years, right?
Thanks for giving a shout out to a band that's really doing something from Nashville, even though you don't like them. If you keep this up, people outside your friend circle might actually start reading this thing.
Big mistake in this article, though. The show was at Florida State University, not the University of Florida
Can anybody pin point the exact date when Weezer and Rivers Cuomo stopped trying to be respectable? I'd really like to know. Everything they do nowadays gets progressively more pathetic and desperate.
[Insert terrible, way too soon joke about the Weezer bus accident]
@weezinator nah. he's obviously well now. it's the perfect time to joke.
@anon you must have misunderstood. the only reason i won't be listening to Paramore's new album is because I don't need to. I blindly adore and praise any band from Nashville without question.
