Weezer may not be a metal band, but the group drew inspiration from 80s hair metal in their new single. Now, the musicians have performed this track, "The End of the Game," on Jimmy Kimmel .
The song will be on their upcoming album, Van Weeze, which is only expected to be released in May of next year. Vocalist Rivers Cuomo spoke about the new work. “It’s kind of like the Blue Album but with more riffs,” he said. “Metal riffs, hard rock riffs. But it’s still pretty catchy pop rock.”
He further explained where the idea for an album with more guitars came from. “At our shows, we noticed that in recent years the audience went wild when I did a solo, a tapping, or a whammy. The audience loves that kind of thing. So we started doing more and more. And suddenly we were shredding the guitar throughout the entire show. So we needed to make an album in that style.”
