Weezer's summer tour kicks off with a recreation of the "Buddy Holly" video
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Sure, it was Weezer’s “Undone (The Sweater Song)“ that piqued our ears nearly 25 years ago, but it was their buoyant nerd anthem “Buddy Holly” that birthed a new generation of alternative pop-rock. And while we can all agree that the band’s latest output is nothing if not spotty (Everything Will Be Alright In the End owns, though), Rivers Cuomo and company have spent the better part of this century embracing their past. Their live shows are almost always heavy on Blue Album and Pinkerton cuts, and, on its current trek, the band is recreating its iconic “Buddy Holly” video, which was made to look like it appeared on an episode of bygone sitcom Happy Days.
