Weezer Deny They're Recording New Album

Weezer have denied rumours that they're recording a new album.

It had been previously reported that the band were to head into the studio next month, but guitarist Brian Bell has now claimed that "someone jumped the gun".

"We're still going to focus on promoting the 'Red' album, and when we have the songs and the time feels right, we'll record [again]," he told spinner.com.

Weezer released their last, self-titled album, nicknamed "The Red Album", on June 30.

Bell also revealed he was planning to put out an album by his side project The Relationship, but had no definite release date.

"It would be kind of silly to put a timeline on a record that we felt wasn't ready," he said.

Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

shame

Man they just came out with one. Give them some time, ffs.

Checked.

No position posts people.

They need to take some time and make a CD that gets back to their former glory. Red is better than Make Believe, but neither touch any of their previous albums

Geez, for real. I agree with Brian Bell. Not much else to say other than to let them do their thing.

I much preferred Red to Green, actually.

Anyway, they only just came out with an album, I'd be pretty surprised if they were recording again already, or at least with anything other than preliminary ideas and demos.

Plus, they need to come to the UK first.

I don't understand how anyone could think that they would be back in the studio yet...

I suppose their tour was VERY short, and it does end at the end of the month. BUT we all know Weezer throws curveballs all the time...hiatus here, solo project there. Rivers is an awesome musician, but sometimes I hate how unpredictable he is with his decision making.

But I have to say, I saw them in Rosemont/Chicago on the 2nd, and it was an amazing show, every band member had time to shine...literally every member sang at least 2 songs entirely, they really have a cohesive element that allows them to do whatever and make it sound great.

Ummm....from the last Weezer article...titled "Weezer plan next album" :

"Drummer Pat Wilson tells Billboard.com that the quartet plans to start recording the follow-up to this year's "Weezer" (aka "The Red Album") in early November. "

I don't mind either way but this hopping back and forth gets really annoying, the same with the Led Zeppelin reunion news.

[i_am_metalhead]

Just a couple years ago they denied that they were recording the red album. They claimed that they were finished as a band for the time being.

I'm sure Rivers has something up his sleeve as we speak! That man is always up to something crazy.

And Chinese Democracy news!

if they decide to record soon, i hope the stuff they have is worth releasing.

im also excited about Brian's solo project.

[TheMarsClyro]

wooo more Weezer news! Well kind of...

I'd like more Weezer, as long as it's good.

Checked.

[clasp]

They'll be in the studio recording. It just means they might not finish the album in one session.

[Captain Cool]

Im sure when Weezerpedia interviewed Karl Koch he gave the impression that it was true they were soon to start recording again.

[kennyvspenny]

mother****ing aces!

[RUSTDOGG666]

Take your time guys no rush here.

[cocky_rooster]

come on and kick me

[paddypadman]

He said they have new material that its just not ready yet.. "It would be kind of silly to put a timeline on a record that we felt wasn't ready" or was that about his side project?

[The Spoon]

Aw, i was kinda excited but i guess i should have known.

[leftover]

Pinkerton for the win. red was bad, rlllly bad, no offense if you enjoyed it...

I think weezer died after green or maldadroit, past two albums kinda made me stop listening to them

[Soozy]

Half of Red's songs are good, so I was hoping the rumors were true.

But man, I saw them live a couple weeks back and they still put on a hell of a show

[snazzyness]

Come on weezer! New album please. Some of red was a return to form, pork and beans, greatest man and a few others were quality.

[MetalHead73]

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is easily one of the top 5 songs Weezer has ever made, in my opinion. I don't see how people can listen to that song and thing the album sucks. Dreamin', Heart Songs, and Automatic are also amazing.

[radioplay]

aren't they supposed to break up first?

I thought the Red Album was awful. 5 good songs, 5 atrocious ones,but it was still better than Make Believe. Pinkerton and Maladroit are 2 great albums, and the Blue album is one of the best albums ive ever heard.

[jay3213]

They better make a new one!!! or i will chop their balls off!!!!!

[xBLITZKRIEGx]

it'd be nice if we could get a pinkerton 2.0 but i dont think rivers has it in him anymore.

i didn't even buy the red album after being disappointed with the last three albums.

[Cilla Black]

On an interview with K Rock he said that Weezer were going to start recording in the next month

[E_squared]

I haven't bought the red album yet. But the two singles were absolutely killer.

[killer455]

Only Weezer can pull off 2 self-titled releases!

[stevezy]

seems as though Pat and Brian are in two different bands...we need Rivers to come forward and clarify, afterall he is Weezer.

[Sloofus]

Do you want to destroy my sweaterrrrr!

[ViciousKillgasm]

The Biggest new of the day.. is that a band is NOT recording a new album at the moment? Hmm..

[Sexbo]

Why is there a Dream Theater picture on the main page? o_O
