Pure rumor. Matt is (well, check Dan's Rentals Page for the latest) fully involved with the Rentals, and has no plans to do otherwise at this time. | Pure rumor.

I do apologize for all the confusion with the fan club in recent times, and plan on it being fully revamped and operational at the time of weezers third album. At such time, any and all instructions on what is available and how to get it will be either listed in the CD itself, posted on the RWA, or both. | I do apologize for all the confusion with the fan club in recent times, and plan on it being fully revamped and operational at the time of weezers third album.

No. Those special "homemade" tour CD's are sold out...... For now, the only way to ge this CD is to order the Japanese import (see below). Eventually, it should see a re-release as a domestic album, but not for some time. | No. Those special "homemade" tour CD's are sold out......

''Update!! thanks to Mark F., we have learned that the Special Goodness import CD is available from towerrecords.com . They ship it out reasonably quick and it costs $23.99, which is about 10$ cheaper than previously available sources.'' | ''Update!! thanks to Mark F., we have learned that the Special Goodness import CD is available from towerrecords.com .

'''''When is a new weezer album coming out? Whats going on with the band, anyway?''''' | |||
Despite some angry folks' insistance that I secretly know everything and am holding out, the info is a little slim here. I am, in fact, currently trying to get a hold of Rivers, who has been pretty darn quiet for the last several months. I used to get a call from him every so often, but this has just not been the case recently. If and when I can get in touch, I of course hope to gain some insights, which i would be happy to pass on the the RWA. | |||
The reason my news (and weezer news in general recently) has been so biased toward the "solo bands", is due to the fact that that's where the news is these days, like it or not.And to those telling me to "stick to weezer", I can only say, who else has been since 1991? | |||
To sum up what is known for sure: | |||
1) weezer is indeed still a band. | |||
2) weezer does intend to, and is in fact contracted to record and release a third full length album. | |||
3) As far as I know, the songs that were written and practiced together during 1998 have been rejected by rivers, who opted to write all new material. | |||
4) As far as I know, Rivers has been writing music by himself since spring 1999, and, while I heard several times that he was ready to show this new material to the rest of the band, this in fact did not happen, and I have heard no explanation of this to date. | |||
5) I am forced to conclude that Rivers is not yet ready to present the new material to the rest of the guys, but will do this once he is ready. | |||
6) Because of these uncertainties, it is unrealistic to make any exact prediction of when weezer will record and release a third album. | |||
7) In the meantime, Pat and Mikey are concentrating in full on the Special Goodness, and Brian continues to split his time between the Space Twins and Mephisto. | |||
8) Like I said above, if i get any update on this situation, it will be immediately forwarded to Anuj and Dan, as an RWA update. | |||
'''''I am trying to get all of weezers b-sides (singles, etc.), but they seem to be totally out of print. is there any way to get these? (besides mp3's and bootlegs)''''' | |||
A weezer fan has created an EXCELLENT website that he keeps updated, it lists where one can order such singles and actually have a good chance of getting them. Go to Making Noise and be enlightened! | |||
