Watch Weezer Spoof Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City" in New Music Video
Weezer have tipped their collective hats (or, in this case, top hats) to Guns N' Roses in their new music video, "Feels Like Summer (Roses N' Weezer Version)." The video, which was shot last month at Goldenvoice’s new Arroyo Seco Weekend festival in Pasadena, California, was clearly inspired by GNR's iconic 1988 “Paradise City” video, much of which was shot at the '88 Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park. Be sure to check it out below.
By the way, we've also included the original GNR clip for reference. Below that, we've provided Weezer's upcoming tour dates. Enjoy!
