\n\tKing Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard<\/a> brought out Max Weinberg as a surprise guest during their Friday (Aug. 21) show at Queens\u2019 Forest Hills Stadium, with the E Street Band<\/a> drummer filling in for his son, longtime band collaborator Jay Weinberg.<\/p>\n

\n\tGuitarist Joey Walker explained the swap to the crowd mid-set. \u201cIn continuing with the tradition that we started over the last year or so, where we get our friend Jay Weinberg to come out and play a song with us \u2014 it\u2019d be rude not to. But Jay\u2019s busy, he\u2019s down in Nashville, so Jay made a call: \u2018Alright, I\u2019m going to call dad.’\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMax Weinberg then joined the band onstage as a second drummer, playing alongside regular drummer Michael Cavanagh on an extended rendition of \u201cHot Water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe elder Weinberg\u2019s cameo continues a running bit between the Australian psych-rock band and Jay Weinberg, the former Slipknot drummer who has guested with King Gizzard periodically since first sitting in during a 2024 Nashville show. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe appeared again just a week earlier at the band\u2019s Field of Vision II festival in Colorado, playing on \u201cHell\u201d and hosting a solo drum clinic.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe guest spot came during the second of three King Gizzard shows at Forest Hills Stadium, part of a run marking the band\u2019s fourth consecutive year at the venue and its first time playing three nights there. The Aug. 20 and 21 dates were billed as rock shows, while the run closed Saturday (Aug. 22) with an all-electronic rave set. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe band then heads to Brooklyn\u2019s Under the K Bridge Park on Sunday (Aug. 23) for another rave show, before continuing to a run of Australian dates in October, including a stop at Sydney\u2019s Hordern Pavilion.<\/p>\n

\n\tKing Gizzard\u2019s Forest Hills stand comes amid a characteristically prolific stretch for the band, which released its latest album, Alien Metal, its 28th studio release, earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard brought out Max Weinberg as a surprise guest during their Friday (Aug.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[13379,5415,9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-327690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-genre-rock","tag-music-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
