Weezer releases iTunes pass with Clash cover, more

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 6:00 PM (EDT)

Weezer has launched a new iTunes pass, which provides a subscription-style release of content from now and beyond the proper release of their new album, Raditude on November 3, 2009. The series kicks off with Weezer's cover of The Clash hit, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" and new content in weekly instalments until November 24th.

All in, the iTunes Pass includes a deluxe version of the band's new album Raditude plus exclusive additional tracks, live recordings, remixes, behind-the-scenes video footage and the music video for single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To."

Check it out (including a 30 second preview of the live Clash cover) here.

i dont know why these great bands are lowering themselves by covering weaker material.

yeah, the Clash totally sucked. Weezer 4-life!

acris (October 13, 2009)

the clash's shittiest songs fucking reign over any bullshit that weezer has put out

baldsteve (October 13, 2009)

Not true. The Clash made some supremely unlistenable songs

acris (October 13, 2009)

all of which are better than weezer's best songs

the_other_scott (October 13, 2009)

you're fucking crazy. weezer made two of the 90's best albums. blue album and pinkerton are both way better than cut the crap.

Canucker (October 13, 2009)

Cut the crap hardly even counts as a Clash album.

acris (October 13, 2009)

all weezer sucks. straight up.

the_other_scott (October 13, 2009)

it's rare that opinions can be factually wrong, but this is one of those cases.

Canucker (October 13, 2009)

Agreed, There are enough songs on Sandinsta! to make one good album, nevermind two.

miniblindbandit (October 13, 2009)

does one of those f's stand for facetious?

ffwoodycooks (October 13, 2009)

fyes

Patron (October 13, 2009)

Must be cover The Clash day.

655321 (October 13, 2009)

Not that I care about this, but an online-only deluxe version? that's lame

Lifebystereo (October 13, 2009)

fuck them for throwing yet another cover of this song onto the pile. It's not like the clash were some one-hit-wonder.

The release date has been delayed a week, to Nov. 3rd.

Babrook (October 13, 2009)

This is easily one of the worst Clash tunes. Why bother?

I don't know why they bothered, but I would say its a really good Clash song. I think it just has the unfortunes of being perhaps their biggest "hit" as well as the one song (besides Rock the Casbah) that people unfamiliar with the band know, leading them to think that the Clash were a one hit wonder.

Lifebystereo (October 13, 2009)

really? I think it's a great song, but not a great Clash song.

eran_zombis (October 13, 2009)

clever.

the_other_scott (October 13, 2009)

it's gonna hurt me. it's gonna kill when you desert me.

shrapnel (October 13, 2009)

The remixes sold me.

miniblindbandit (October 13, 2009)

seems kind of unimpressive live.

They look bored.

melissamt (October 13, 2009)

I'm curious to see what it will sound like. I'm not normally a fan of Clash covers with them being my all-time favorite band, but they may be able to pull it off.

nacho8675309 (October 13, 2009)

weezer's cool............ ................................... .....................i swear

14theroad (October 13, 2009)

The Clash are the new Springsteen.

nick_s (October 14, 2009)

No one should cover this song. It's like Paranoid, the original is great and no cover has ever come close.

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (October 14, 2009)

It'll be great to hear this, don't think anyone has covered it before?!
