Two months ago, Weezer released a cover of Toto’s 1982 hit Africa, and now that band is doing a cover of Hash Pipe.
On Monday, Toto began their 40th-anniversary tour in Vancouver, and they debuted their take on the 2001 song. Why this one out of all of Weezer’s hits? Guitarist Steve Lukather explained, “We figured since we were smoking hash since before they were born, that’s the one we should do.” But then again, three out of four of them were alive at the same time as Buddy Holly, so they could have gone with that too.
Either way both covers are totally bitchin’! Time for Jimmy Kimmel to have them on the show and do a Rock Battle with both tunes to see whose take is better. How awesome would that be?
