Weezer's record-breaking 'Troublemaker' video

Tagged:

Weezer’s "Troublemaker" is an okay uptempo rocker, nothing special, but it must have been fun to shoot the video. The band drew a huge crowd to the shoot, held in August in an L.A. parking lot, and, with a monitor from Guinness on hand, proceeded to set several world records, including biggest game of dodgeball (100 players), largest air guitar ensemble (233 players), longest Guitar Hero World Tour marathon(10 hours, 12 minutes, and 54 seconds), most people riding on a skateboard (22), and biggest custard pie fight (120 people). It also looked like the band served up the world’s biggest tray of nachos (in the shape of Weezer’s flying-W logo) and found the world’s smallest drum kit for drummer Pat Wilson. The resulting clip, which premiered last night on Yahoo Music, is the most fun music video I’ve seen since…well, Weezer’s "Pork and Beans" clip five months ago. Enjoy.

    1) Such large amounts of food (especially the kind that requires industrial vats of cheese) is gross, whether or not a record’s being broken.
    2) Does River really have a neck tat? I miss his cardigan and thick-rimmed days.

    Can you sample a music video, because all I could think of when I was watching it was “Just Want You To Know” by the Backstreet Boys. Yeah – people in the parking lot outside the Forum.
    Liked the song, it was fun.

    Dude, they are in the parking lot at the Forum – that’s like 5 minutes from me! Wonder how people knew about this? Love this song and the dodgeball, agree with Dennis that that much food is a little squicky.

    God, you’re right–that is just like Backstreet’s tongue in cheek nod to 80′s bighair rock,Just Want You To Know! Fans, parking lot, beer-loads of fun.

    Hillarious. I’ve never seen the tat before and i just went to the concert in detroit. Btw, I think Rivers looks like a huge tool, but thats what makes it so funny.

    The Red Album is SO GOOD. I’m still not over it.
    Good stuff. Weezer really needed a solid record to put under their belts and they DID IT.
