Weezer Urged To Split Up By Online Campaign

October 6, 2010
Weezer Urged To Split Up By Online CampaignA campaign has been started calling for Weezer to split up.

The campaign, organised by Seattle resident James Burns, is offering $10million for the band to call it a day.

Burns said he was not a Weezer fan, but was “tired” of his friends being “disappointed” by their recent releases.

“Every year, Rivers Cuomo swears that he’s changed, and that their new album is the best thing that he’s done since 'Pinkerton', and what happens?” he said.

“Another pile of crap like 'Beverly Hills' or 'I’m Your Daddy'.”

The petition, entitled 'We will offer Weezer $10 million to break up', wants all 852,000 people who bought 'Pinkerton' to donate $12 to reach their campaign.
