Bill & Ted Face the Music: Weezer's "Beginning of the End" on Video

It's becoming rarer you see music videos promote upcoming films nowadays, but Weezer aimed to remedy the lack of them lately with their latest single "Beginning of the End (Wyld Stallyns Edit)" for Orion's Bill & Ted Face the Music. The video starts in a traditional stage setting where the band sets up before the track starts. The video interludes the film with the band performing while transitioning between every concert cliché imaginable. This includes background changes, transitioning to their 80s/90s rocker personas with everyone donning mullets except for lead singer Rivers Cuomo, the dynamic lighting, and unapologetically having someone hold a wind machine against the musician to achieve maximum hair effect. To close out the video, the Wyld Stallyns, Bill (Alex Winter and Ted (Keanu Reeves) congratulate them on the most excellent performance, and in an eye-roll moment, Ted asks Cuomo if they know any Kiss songs before he obliges.

Weezer's "Beginning of the End" is from their latest album Van Weezer, which is slated for release in 2021. The Bill & Ted Face the Music soundtrack comes courtesy of 10K Projects and features other artists like Cold War Kids, Mastadon, the Stallyns themselves, but surprisingly not from one of the film's co-stars Kid Kudi.
