[Raku]

They were offered 10 million dollars to break up.

Do you think these guys can pull together the money to make this happen?

[Nic]

I saw this the other day and lol'd.

[Emil]

Haha, good luck with that.

[Max]

Hahaha they're pretty rubbish anyway. Sorry!

[sumfan4]

Let's do this to Sum 41 if their new album is crap.

lol


....but seriously Weezer needs to break up

[Jenna]

Wow, that's harsh. I don't even listen 2 Weezer, but if ppl are OFFERING u money 2 QUIT, than u must suck pretty bad. If that were me i would be really bummed, but i wouldn't quit playing music if i really love 2 do it just cause some ppl don't like it

[Simon]

Haha, that's pretty funny. That reminds me of a recent Sum 41 tweet..
We should launch a fundraiser for the assassination of Deryck Whibley! Should be an easy job if sitting down behind a drumset can already put him in a wheel chair for months. He would be the first person ever to be assassinated by a drum stool, lol.

[Mr-David-Blues]

I wonder if this can be done for all other old bands that totaly suck....

[Bobbyjames]

take the money, have a holiday then start another band called Weezing and play Weezer covers. simple.

[Jeremy Kill]

[Nic]

[Bobbyjames]

[Billy41]

I think this is fucking dumb.. Let Weezer make the music they want to make, there's so many bands that suck but they gotta keep trying.

I don't know what is worse out of this whole spectacle

A) The man who started this fail of a fundraiser
or
B) Weezer fans threatening to kill him when they know this thing will never happen.

I could see (A) being picked because people should respect other's tastes. Music is like food, I might like Chinese food, you might not. I like Gob, you might not like them. Should that mean you should raise money to get rid of Chinese food and Gob? No you shouldn't, because other people like them.

However, I could see (B) being picked because you could tell it was never going to work. For one the money raised isn't even close to what the goal is. Also by the way the drummer acted, I doubt the band will break up. These people need to calm down and realize Weezer is going no where. unless Weezer gets into a fight that makes them stop being friends, or they get too old to play their instruments.

[Simon]

You realize it was a joke, right? This guy just expressed his opinion in a provocative/satirical way to get some attention and thanks to all those idiots who responded and got upset, it worked.

[Peterr]

Weezer sucks either way.
