Around this time, it was announced that Weezer would be playing a New Year's Eve show with Blink 182. In addition, the once-thought free Yahoo! Outloud Tour was now a corporately sponsored tour. What followed was an intense debate of "did Weezer sell out?" Each day, Karl received several angry emails from fans. Sometimes, emails were posted in Karl's Corner. Despite Weezer's early '90s fame (which most fans claimed to be around for), most of these emails called Weezer a sell out for trying to receive radio play, MTV play, and touring with major bands. Karl wrote, "Letters like that raise a good point, but I feel that they assume too much." In fact, it was later revealed that Blink 182 specifically asked Weezer to open their show, as they are fans of the band. | Around this time, it was announced that Weezer would be playing a New Year's Eve show with Blink 182.
