I saw their new video the other day and noticed that they have a giant W with 2 wings much like the original VH logo and then they light on fire like VH's did in the old days.
Anyone else notice this?
is it a rip off or a tribute?'Old Van Halen, when I was in it-classic Van Halen-makes you wanna drink, dance and screw, right? And the new Van Halen encourages you to drink milk, drive a Nissan and have a relationship.' - David Lee Roth.

I saw that and thought the same thing too. Sounds like a ripoff to me. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Hey Weezer are my boys! I love Weezer. They have alot of respect for Van Halen and are huge metalheads. It does look like the =VH=, but they are different. I think they are giving props.
What's with these homies dissin' my girl.
Where do they got a front."There's a time and place for everything- for everyone."

Here's a visual aid of the logo (without flames) for anyone who hasn't seen it before:

Yeah I saw that too. It's definitely more of an acknowledgement than a rip off.

My roommate is the biggest Weezer fan. This topic came up a couple months ago. Purely a tribute. They love VH.
"You gotta do me a favor and let these (people) have a good time, alright? A little bit of (vulgar term for breast) and their hands in the air ain't gonna hurt anybody" - Nikki Sixx
"Van Halen is 'Get the fuck off the sidewalk if ya don't like our drivin' kinda music!" - David Lee Roth
"We get to the hotel, there's people partyin' in the parking lot, people gettin' down in the elevator, wow! I swear to God I had this one chick, this chick was poundin' on my door, she was kickin' and screamin' at my door 'til about 6:30 this morning. Finally, I just said, 'Fuck it!' and let her out of my room!" - David Lee Roth

Paul McCartney might want to look into this as well - looks a little like the ol' Wings logo, too!

Yeah, they've had that logo on T-Shirts & stuff from back as far as their first album. It's a tribute!

It's a tribute for sure. They even cover Hot for Teacher, and do a fine job!

Joe's upper register is GONE. He sounds find at the lower notes, but when he gets to the higher chorus like in Bringing on the Heartbreak, or the 2nd verse in Photograph, it's awful. I know...
