Weezer Asks Fans for Help

The band has been known for their connection to fans, but this is pushing that relationship one step further.  Fans now have the opportunity to finish a demo that’s been put on the Internet by the group.

Singer Rivers Cuomo, who was recently injured in a bus accident, said on Radio Weezer, "I wrote this tune, ‘Shusui.’  Now I want to write the lyrics.  Before I do that, I’d like somebody to produce a better demo of the music.  I’ll pay you $208."

The demo is available on the Indaba Music site.  Fans can access the demo and submit their own versions of the track, which seems to be a ballad.  Rivers Cuomo loves to work with the masses, and Weezer’s latest album, Ratitude, features a song with Lil Wayne.

Weezer recently cancelled the remaining shows of their promotional tour when Cuomo’s tour bus was involved in an accident.  The singer suffered several injuries, including a punctured lung.
