Weezer may have pushed back the release of their 80s hard rock-inspired album, Van Weezer, due to the coronavirus, but they’ve still been giving us plenty of guitar-heavy music to sink our teeth into in the meantime.
Last week it was the anthemic Van Weezer track Hero, complete with a video in which front man Rivers Cuomo wields a none-more-pointy Guild X-88 Flying Star electric guitar while co-guitarist Brian Bell rips some ‘80s-approved triplets on a Les Paul.
Now, the band has appeared on a new episode of the Simpsons as a cover act named Sailor’s Delight – the house band on a romantic cruise taken by Homer and Marge. https://www.guitarworld.com/news/watch-an-animated-weezer-shred-the-simpsons-theme-song
