Weezer whips out a wonderful workout By TRAVIS HAY SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER Take one part Foo Fighters. add one part Weezer and you get Foozer, an alt-rock spectacle that rocked KeyArena Wednesday night. At first glance, the bill seems like a pairing of opposites, but the two bands contrasted one another well, one providing melodic rock with pop sensibilities and the other bringing an aural assault of screams and grinding guitars with a full-on metal mentality. Weezer's set was unlike previous performances by the band. What made it so different and delightful was that eccentric frontman Rivers Cuomo seemed to be enjoying himself. Rumors have been circulating that this is the group's last tour, which could have spurred Cuomo's excitability on stage. If it was the last time the kings of geek rock play Seattle, they went out on a high note. Cuomo declared it "new wave time" before beginning "Don't Let Go," and playfully announced his intention to rock before "Dope Nose." It was great to see him finally embrace his inner rock star, striking poses while hopping and bouncing as he played guitar. In a fun turn of events, each member of the band took a turn singing while Cuomo played guitar, drums or keys. Like every Weezer show, the highlights came in the form of classics such as "Undone," "Surfwax America," "El Scorcho" and other songs from the group's first two records. When the band's trademark giant lit-up "W" logo was unveiled during "Buddy Holly," confetti doused the crowd, making for a great way to exit the stage after a fantastic set. . |
