"i am so glad that i had the chance to see the brosephs while they passed through. i skipped school to go to the autographing thing at hoodlums. well worth it. the guys were rad, and they were nice to all the raging fans taking their pictures and hounding them with posters and what not for signatures. the show was cool, they played various new songs such as island in the sun, crab, hash pipe, dont let go, knock down drag out, and a couple more. it was cool, but the crowd was quite disappointed that they didnt play a bit more considering the hoopla that the radio station created. the songs rocked (though i think there were only 8), the show was rad and i'm sop glad that i got to see them!" --david pearson

"my friends and I were subjected to a 20 minute set of Weezer with no opening bands. Despite the fact that the Edge promoted it as a "FREE" show at Rawhide in Scottsdale, Arizona, most people that I know and everyone else chanting "Bullsh*t", paid $8.50. I hope that Weezer knows that they have a very truthfully loyal fan basis and that this hurts them very much. I myself play and in a band and would never put my fans under money. If you weren't aware of the situation, I'm sorry you're music has been stolen by corporations, otherwise I hope you see the point of holding onto your fans before they ditch you for the newest craze. Please don't take this as angry, only slightly confused."

"this may be some sort of explanation for what went on tonight. You see phoenix got screwed out of the yahoo outloud tour and we were on the list and when we were scrapped off many people got angry, but when you announced this show everyone was excited and expected a show (doesn't matter if we paid). Many people didn't feel like we got a show. We got 5 or 6 songs and one song off the old album. I also believe that is why no one was really in to it. They didn't know the words, thats why they needed to play more songs off there old album. Well i know you guys are probably pissed but I hope we wont get scrapped from your next tour."

"I have read all the new info on the Weezer show in Phoenix. The EDGE radio station in phoenix did say that Weezer had promised a hour to a hour and a half show. I tried winning tickets from them and was unable to get them. I then called Rawhide who told me they were hoping to sell tickets at the door but they had to get the o.k. from the EDGE. Needless to say they did sell tickets and i did get to see the show. If I had known the band did not know and they were totally against the ticket selling I would have been loyal and not have gotten tickets. I am apologizing for the way the fans in Phoenix acted at the show and I want to say the show was awesome and they totally rocked the stage. Also I called the EDGE after the show, not knowing that it was a promotion show and asked what the deal was with the band only playing 6 songs and they said "F*ck Weezer. They promised us a hour and a half show. Thats just Weezer being rock stars. We'll never have them back again. They totally screwed us on the p.a. and the setup." ---Tyler DeBord

"My name is Richard and I was fortunate enough to win tickets through the edge's call in contest. I was reading on weezer.com that the edge had no clue to the selling of tickets at the front, I find that impossible considering one important fact. To get into rawhide you initially had to show the ticket you won through the edge, then you had to walk a half a mile inside this complex to a fenced off area where the show was being held. Once you came to this place, you had to show your ticket again to get into the doors. Oddly enough the edge people where at this second entrance checking the tickets so there is no way they couldn't have gotten word or seen what was going on. I still feel cheated by the edge and hope Rivers and the guys have learned from this experience never to deal with the edge again. They put on a kickass show dispite the edge being affiliated with it..." --R. Daniels
