And that would be the first Weezer song I did not have to shut off.

Wow. Unless they mail it in like U2's been doing, that is going to be a friggin great show!

I really like the Mike Masse and Jeff Hall version that Gustofer posted. They did a hell of a job with the vocals.

I agree. It’s nice and all, but it sounds too similar to the original. I like the metal version.
