"Piece | "Piece of the Pie" was recorded by Cuomo for ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'', a compilation of demos written in contention for what would eventually become ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|The Red Album]]''. The song was first mentioned by Cuomo to fans in [[2005]] at a Weezer concert, saying they'd play the song but it would be heavily passed around online before it was released {{Citation needed}}. The song was also later mentioned by Cuomo in December of that year during a Q&A session in Japan, wherein a Japanese fan asked each band member what their favorite Weezer song was, to which Cuomo replied, "I like a new song called 'Piece of the Pie'." The Q&A was filmed for the live concert/documentary ''[[Across the Sea: Live in Japan]]''. | ||
The song was partially heard by fans for the first time as a partial, impromptu acoustic rendition in a [[Ustream]] broadcast on [[August 27]], [[2011]] before [[Weezer concert: 08/27/2011 - Indio, CA|a show in Indio, California]]. Cuomo's original demo was played by [[Karl Koch]] to fans at a fan meetup in June [[2018]], from which a partial, secondhand recording was made and later shared among fans. That same year, the full lyrics for ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'' were obtained at a fan meetup and subsequently uploaded to [[Weezerpedia]] by user [[user:Okaybrazilian|Okaybrazilian]]. Cuomo's full demo would be released on [[November 22]], [[2020]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years]]''. | |||
