The group even covered Wheatus' ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ during a momentous Saturday evening set on the Apollo Stage.
After the intensity of the Big Four the previous evening,
and a day of rain so devilish at one point it could have only been beckoned by Beelzebub himself, Sonisphere needed a bit
of cheering up.
And Weezer
delivered it, the sun coming out and blazing by the time they'd finished ‘Sweater Song’.
A karaoke
cover of Radiohead's ‘Paranoid Android’ almost killed the mood and Rivers Cuomo asking for the skies to
rain open did not go down well with a sodden crowd.
But It only took the first few "ooh-oohs" of ‘Buddy
Holly’ to forget the misfortunate cover, all of Weezer
finishing the song on Patrick Wilson's drumkit.
