Weezer

[Dr Green Thumb]

Well what does everyone think?

Its probbly pretty unlikly but personlly i think it be pretty awsome.

Have they ever played glasto before?

If they did play where abouts on the bill do you think they will be?

[Jackmypie]

Other Stage headline me thinks.

[Bradders]

No chance of Other Stage headliner, no way at all. 3rd top or below on other, maybe. Or could headling John Peel.

[Dr Green Thumb]

I think they are big anoth to headline the other stage but if they did play, they wont.

I think john peel or the park.

Nope think they where third, think paramore where second.

[adustlandfairytale]

What?!

I'm pretty sure they were 2nd top from the main stage at Reading...

[Jackmypie]

Blink 182

Paramore

Weezer

[adustlandfairytale]

Okay but still, 3rd from top of the main stage = somewhere near the top of other stage.

[Vieuphoria]

Would be utterly incredible. Love the band, proper summer music. Proper festival act, really brilliant live act. Just great. Would be wonderful on the Pyramid mid way up somewhere.

[fuzzylogic]

Would be incredible if they brought the memories tour to Glastonbury. But it's highly unlikely since they apparently won't come to Europe as they lose money

But in an ideal world they would headline the park stage on Friday AND Saturday. Friday playing the blue album and Saturday playing Pinkerton.

Someone tell Emily to get this booked

[Bradders]

I forgot to mention that I'd love it if they played. I just can't see them higher than 3rd other or afternoon pyramid.

[4AssedMonkey]

JP or Park Headline slot would suit them IMO.

[Poliwhirl]

Would love to see Weezer at Glasto.

[she bangs the drums]

They put on one of the best festival performances I've ever seen at Leeds last year, they were really entertaining and sounded fantastic. It would be great for Glastonbury to have such a great live band play the festival.

[smytho15]

sad to say it all about the money me thinks

[brettredmayne]

were the best band at leeds this year, and I wasnt really a fan but I am now

[1mills]

Just thought to myself I don't know of of their songs or anything, as had read something comparing them to Pixies etc as cultish band.

Then also thought I only know one of their songs, but maybe I'm confusing them so best check.

Yup, Teenage Dirtbag is by Wheatus not Weezer

Edit- Appears I'm not the only one, just looked back at the Weezer Teenage Dirtbag seatch tab I'd done and there was this article.

The US indie kids said people repeatedly mistook the WHEATUS song as theirs, so now they've claimed it.

After belting the Loser soundtrack song out at Reading and Leeds, frontman RIVERS CUOMO said: "People have always asked us about our song Teenage Dirtbag.

"Sometimes I don't have the heart to embarrass and tell them it's not our song.

"So we just started playing it - and now it is our song."

I definitely think they'd be worthy Other Stage headliners. They were MASSIVE in the mid nineties and have retained a huge and loyal following.

a chance to post my fave picture my friend took at leeds

massive only because one of their songs was used to launch windoze95.

Really? Which one?

Buddy Holly

[smytho15]

Weezer are brilliant and would rock glasto

[Nickyboy]

Neil - Shocking thing to say that they are only big due to their Windows 95 tie in.

That 'Happy Days' video won tons and tons of awards even before Windows 95 came out. I remember it being the 'OK Go' video of its day.

I saw them at Glasto 95 on the Other Stage, mid afternoon, and thought they were ok.

They've been a bit of a 'one trick pony' over the years, but they have had a number of singalong anthems that I would happily mosh through......Pork and Beans, Hash Pipe, Islands in the Sun, Buddy Holly, Beverley Hills to name but 5.

I didn't realize they'd claimed Teenage Dirtbag - not surprizing really, as Wheatus nicked their sound lock, stock and barrel.

Although they've hardly been a major player in this country (hence the losing money posts), they've been quite influential in the States. You still hear lots of bands trying to emulate the savvy and nouse of their best songs.

Can't see them playing though, very sadly......
