Many of Weezer's contemporaries have also performed at the Whisky frequently over the years, including That Dog, Ozma, and the pre-Weezer outfit The Dum Dums.
Writing for the LA Times in March 1994, journalist Lorraine Ali described the Whiskey as "the grand old Los Angeles rock club." Ali went on to call it "a fixture since the ‘60s that has played host over the years to everyone from Led Zeppelin to Elvis Costello to Smashing Pumpkins... If you want to hear something new, yet sample the history and tradition of Los Angeles rock, the Whisky is where you go. The club is every bit as indestructible as rock ‘n’ roll itself."
"Pick U Up" (also known as "Pick You Up") is a song by singer-songwriter Adam Lambert from his 2009 debut album For Your Entertainment. The song was co-written by Lambert with Rivers Cuomo and Greg Wells. Cuomo rewrote the song in Japanese in the early 2010's with the aid of musician Scott Murphy, re-titling it "Kimi to futari de" (君と二人で, "Alone with You") and including it on the duo's eponymous debut album. Cuomo and Murphy performed the song at multiple shows in Japan, as well as during the second Weezer Cruise.
Cuomo commented on his collaboration with Lambert in an interview with MTV, saying Lambert "came up with a few ideas for it for himself, took the melody in a different place, suggested some lyric changes, and before you knew it, I was writing a song with Adam Lambert."
"Pick U Up" was originally in contention for Weezer's 2009 album Raditude, then again for the 2010 record Hurley.
Featured quote: Scott Shriner on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas; June 2008.
"Last tour I was into Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I would be in the back lounge playing late and all the sirens in the game kept giving people in the bunks nightmares about the bus getting pulled over or being in a high speed chase. I have a hard time sleeping on the bus so I play video games often. There is a new GTA coming out man which I excited about."
