A father steps in for a son in a wild psych-rock cameo.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard transformed their Queens residency into a family affair on Saturday night.
Just one week after Jay Weinberg, the former Slipknot drummer, graced their Colorado stage, the Australian psych-rockers found themselves scrambling for a replacement when Jay couldn’t make the New York date.
His solution? A phone call to his father.
As the Forest Hills Stadium crowd roared, the iconic Max Weinberg, renowned for his decades with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, emerged from the wings.
Flanked by the band’s own rhythm section, the elder Weinberg delivered a thunderous, extended assault on ‘Hot Water,’ turning a simple cameo into a legendary generational handoff.
The moment was a testament to the band’s chaotic spirit, seamlessly blending rock royalty with their own frenetic energy as they prepare to close out their stand and cross the river for a final Brooklyn showdown.
