Say what you want about Weezer, and their fall off the earth of good music. Beverly Hills ring any bells? Their whole last album Make Believe. Which they tried to Make Believe that they still had something going for them. The 2nd half of their new Red Album, not counting the bonus tracks, flat out sucks. But when they can do something like this. To take a song and embellish the simplicity of it. So that it's simple yet complex at the same time. Even to come up with the idea of having this many people come together with a common interest to create something. That something being a cover of one of the greatest bands ever, Radiohead. What a risky and scary thing to do when Weezer seems to be on their way out... This shows not only a love for music but a loving bond between everyone who is playing in that room. They all had a part in making their own unique and differently creative version of a great song. Kudos Weezer. This is sure something special.

well, it's a lot better than prince's cover at coachella.. you just can't butcher a radiohead song. i couldn't respect myself as a musician after something like that (although it was hilarious).
weezer is a good band, make believe was stupid, but weezer is still a good band.
i haven't really listened to the red album, i've heard it's alright.. but i love them for the great music they've blessed everyone with in the past.
