Weezer Cover Metallica And Play The Hits During Coachella Set Following Arrest Of Bassist’s Wife

Despite the recent police incident that led to bassist Scott Shriner‘s wife facing attempted murder charges, Weezer still delivered a high-energy performance at Coachella on Saturday afternoon (April 12). The band thrilled the crowd with classic hits like “Say It Ain’t So” and “Beverly Hills,” before surprising the crowd with a cover of Metallica‘s “Enter Sandman.” While Weezer’s 45-minute afternoon set was well-received by their die-hard fans, the performance was overshadowed by the controversial arrest of Jillian Lauren Shriner, who was booked for attempted murder last week following a shootout with police in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Weezer’s Coachella appearance kicks off a series of festival engagements for the band, featuring scheduled sets at Glastonbury, Soundside Festival, and When We Were Young festivals, as well as an upcoming European tour.
