Super-Chrono
Super-Chrono is the name of an extensively detailed chronology of Weezer's band history and a collection of current updates written by Karl Koch. Its first incarnation, simply titled "Chronology", was made available on weezer.net in late 1998. In 2002 the old "Chronology" was completely redesigned, updated and finally retitled "Super-Chrono" for a new release on the band's official website weezer.com. From then until 2005, when weezer.com transferred to Geffen's servers and the Make Believe era design, the Super-Chrono was accessible via the info section of the site.
Overview
Up to three different categories are used on each page:
- "Karl's Corner": all original news posts from weezer.com written by Karl Koch. Everything is presented exactly as it originally was (no editing, corrections etc.).
- "Historic Events": all original Super-Chrono articles from weezer.com written by Karl Koch. Also included are "Today in Weezer history" posts from the band's official social media accounts. Additions, corrections etc., have and will me bade by Karl Koch only.
- "Weezer concerts": all Weezer concerts (in some cases 'Goat Punishment' or 'Rivers Cuomo concerts'). Unlike the two categories above, the concert pages are all user created.
