Wheather you're a fan of Weezer or not

You have to admit this is a pretty cool idea. They invite fans to try out on youtube for a "hootenany" held in 4 cities (Seattle, Portland, SF, and LA). The fans are all brought to the room with whatever instrument they tried out with (some odd ones too) and they all get to play along and sing along to weezer songs and a few covers, all of which are being recorded.

What other bands are doing that type of thing with their fans?

Check out the videos of the sessions below. Pretty cool.

  1. I had a blast checking out the Hootenanny videos - thanks for posting this info! I also came accross a YouTube user while I was surfing that you should check out. She plays the ukulele. Check out her cover of Weezer's Keep Fishin, and many other great songs! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/jaaaaaaa
