I somehow doubt that's the longest GH:WT marathon. Only a few weeks ago a group of my friends held a 3-day-long Rock Band marathon to raise money for charity.

Haha, that game makes my eyes water after playing for even a short amount of time. Imagine 10 hours haha.
I thought the World Record would be album purchases or something surprising. Still, pretty awesome for a band to hit up so many world records in only one video!

luislasports :
haha ..i was in the shooting of this video.. there are about 5 other records they tried breaking,but didnt qualify as an actual record, such as brian bell playing a song with the band using the worlds longest amp cable..that thing was long!!!! it stretched across the whole parking lot!

Oh okay, I hadn't seen it yet. More than anything I'd really just like the song to be on the radio, and I'm pretty sure it isn't on any stations I listen to in Indy. It's probably too long, or maybe even too awesome.

They apparently made it then, though I would suspect that the records dude wouldn't have been paying all that much attention.

# Largest Game of Dodgeball (50 people on each team, 100 total)

Wow. I think my friends and I should try to break that record. I'm not bashing Weezer or anything, but someone should try to do an even more ridiculous thing like at least 100 ppl on each team!

This trick wouldn't be any cheaper than smashing your instruments at the end of a show or lighting your guitar on fire?

No, this is too creative to be that kind of a typical musician gimmick (+5 to anyone who gets my reference)

and sorry for double post, but yes humans do need to keep a record of these things because; A) we are retards and B) we have a short collective memory (not many of us live to see 100 and can go "oh i remember when Weezer broke 5 world records in their video back in 2008" lol)

the guitar hero one is probably only a record because it just came out. I'm sure some jerks have played for 36 hours straight on rock band or another guitar hero. the dodge ball sounds low, in grade 6 I was in a game that had at least 80 people in it. I'd hate to think my school set a lame record and didn't know it. lol

Also, I like Weezer, maybe not as much as the "old" Weezer. They're talented musicians who definitely have the ability to write great songs. It's just they're not moving in the direction I would like them to.
