confirmed: Weezer to Play NHL Winter Classic

[Phil]

Say it's so: Weezer will perform at the NHL Winter Classic.

 

The Grammy-winning Los Angeles rockers are set to take the stage at Notre Dame Stadium during the first intermission of the league's showcase New Year's Day event, which this time around features the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins on an outdoor rink.

 

As is customary, the teams will sport new sweaters for the special occasion, so surely Weezer ? comprised of Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner ? will break out "Undone (The Sweater Song)" during their set in South Bend, Indiana.

I dunno. I think this one's a good selection. They're a wildly popular band with plenty of hits.

This. And caters to audience.

[josh]

I agree with the 30 year old white guys.

[phillyb]

South Bend, Indiana...say it ain't so...maybe I'll go.

Good choice.

[Phil]

Let's get the opinions of more 30-ish white males, please.

[Future]

As a white male who is exactly 30...Wheezer sucks. What year is this? New Found Glory playing next year? Dashboard Confessional?

 

They are milquetoast enough that they won't offend anyone though.

[LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN]

Wheezer, Geezer, Freezer, Beezer; Yet another step-down for the hype crazy NHL.

Weezer has a #1 song on Billboard this year LOL. They are absolutely relevant.

[Dunny]

It's an improvement over Kid Rock or Snoop Dogg

Yea, covering a song that was released almost 40 years ago lol.

[Pete]

OK, still doesn't change the fact that they're relevant.

[Dunny]

It's an awful cover, too.

 

Just play the Blue album start to finish.

[Pete]

Nah it's great. You're just Canadian.

[Dunny]

Wow, you must really crank up Richard Marx when it comes on the radio, 90's dad.

[Pete]

I don't even know who that is, but Toto is the shit and so is Weezer.

 

Don't be bitchy cuz your country littered the world with Drake.

[Dunny]

Fair

[ThirtyONE]

Considering a large portion of the NHL's demographic is 30 year old males from the suburbs, I think it's a good call to have some music that people will actually want to hear. Unless you'd rather hear Five For Fighting again ("hey did you know they're hockey fans?!") or fucking Snoop Dog or Drake. I always thought the rap selections were just pandering to a demographic which the NHL doesn't have.

[Albatrosss]

I like Cher

[Dunny]

I vote Marty Robbins. I don't think he's alive, though.

[NY Chief]

I like Cher

 

I did, too as a kid. :-P Until she opened her lib mouth

That's interesting. Any actual data on the fan base demographic? I'd love to see that

Just my perception. It's expensive to play and attend so therefor the kids that become fans are generally a very specific type of demographic.
