{{Quote|The show in Wichita totally rocked! I am convinced that Bingo Arenas are very cool. | |||
A local wichita band opened, and they were pretty cool. Then, Weezer | |||
played for probably an hour and a half. AN HOUR AND A HALF!!! They | |||
Played all but three of the songs on their 2 albums, plus a couple | |||
b-sides. Towards the end of the show, they even set up for acoustic, | |||
and did Butterfly and susanne. That completely rocked!! | |||
After the show, I hung around for a while with a friend and met Rivers. | |||
He was being very, very fan appreciative. It was probably close to an | |||
hour after the show was over before we went around to the tour bus, and | |||
he was still out talking to people and signing things. | |||
While I was talking to him I decided to ask a few questions, you know, | |||
since he's so cool. I asked him when "Pink Triangle" was coming out, | |||
and he said that he had no idea. Then, right away, he said, "Actually, | |||
I don't know if it even will come out." I was way bummed about that, | |||
but I think it's going to. It has to. | |||
After that, someone (might have been me) asked him what it was like | |||
touring with No Doubt and if they were nice people. Right away, he | |||
said, "Oh, they're nice people, even nicer than us." I was surprised by | |||
this, but then he said "but it's all an act." I thought that was so | |||
cool. Rivers knockin' No Doubt kicked ass!! | |||
I also asked him what music he was listening to on the tour bus, and he | |||
said Dr. Octagon and something else that I can't remember. | |||
The concert in wichita kicked total ass!! Matt was being all crazy, as | |||
was Rivers. The funniest thing happened at the end of the show. The | |||
crowd had gotten it's little rest from the acoustic set, and Weezer | |||
finished off the show with Surf Wax America. At the end, after all of | |||
it, they just started making noise. Rivers started rubbing his guitar | |||
against the mic stand to make noise. Then he reached it out into the | |||
crowd for them to make noise. Weezer's roadie, Karl, apparently didn't | |||
like this, because he ran out on the stage and started trying to grab | |||
the guitar away from Rivers. When Rivers noticed Karl, he just chucked | |||
the guitar out into the crowd. It was so cool! | |||
I asked Rivers about this after the show, and he said that Karl was just | |||
pissed because he had to fix the guitar if anything happened to it. It | |||
was hilarious. | |||
The show in Kansas City was pretty cool, too, but No Doubt totally | |||
sucked, and 1 1/2 hours kicks 45 minutes' ass every time. There was | |||
pretty good support for Weezer at the K.C. show, though, and they | |||
actually sold out of a few Weezer shirts.|Austin Gill|[[Weezer-Rules mailing list]], [[June 14]], [[1997]]}} | |||
