You’ve heard the songs.  You’ve seen the videos.  They do not do justice.  See these boys live!  Weezer opened for Blink 182 recently and absolutely rocked.  It rained like a mother at Shoreline Amphitheater and no one cared.  Beverly Hills, Pork and Beans, Say It Ain’t So, Buddy Holly, and yes, I Want You To had the crowd in a frenzy.

Oh yeah, Weezer rocks!

(UPDATE) Lady Gaga Tickets and “The Monster Ball” Tour Announced. Lady Gaga did not pick up Kanye’s dates as was speculated, but her tour does kick off about the same time. More here.

UPDATE) Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s North American tour canceled.

The “Fame Kills” tour has been killed.

We chronicled Kanye West’s antics on the MTV VMAs last week (Taylor Swift vs Beyonce and Kanye’s to Blame). Kanye attempted to make amends on the new Jay Leno Show, but the self-proclaimed “voice of this generation” is facing a continued public backlash. On Twitter, people are interrupting each other and call it being #Kanyed. It’s in fun, but the ongoing negative publicity can’t make for a good time to launch a tour.

But that’s just what Kanye did. The now cancelled Fame Kills Starring Kanye West and Lady Gaga was slated to kick off in Phoenix on November 10. Tickets are on sale now. Here is the list of concert dates and locations.

Two pieces of news from paulmccartney.com today. For starters, the ex-Beatle announced Paul McCartney concert tickets will go on pre-sale today for Piedmont Park in Atlanta on Saturday August 15th.

Secondly, and bigger news for the rest of the country, McCartney is now using the term “tour of the U.S.” It looks like the rest of the country can look forward to seeing the McCartney tour bus roll through a town near us.

No word yet on which additional towns McCartney plans to  tour. We’ll keep a close eye and share additional dates when they are available.
