For the thirty-fifth Weezer Song of the Day, I chose On the Edge, which is another summer songs of 2000 demo, which is still officially unreleased.
On the Edge by Weezer:
I have not seen On the Edge performed live, because according to Setlist.fm it has never been played live!
On the Edge is an demo song with tons of promise! I don't like the mix, but the music is golden! The lyrics are solid, but the vocals sound off to me. This one should be reworked into at least a b-side.
The guitars are genius especially the solos. I'd like to hear them higher in the mix along withe bass. I wonder why it's never been played live?
What do you guys think?

How would you change this demo?
Project Info:
So why did I create this blog? To document my Weezer Song Project. Over the next year, I am going to attempt to listen to every...EVERY Weezer song recorded. All the album tracks and b-sides will be easy, but there are some unreleased songs that may or not be accessible. Hopefully, the search (and destroy) will be fun to follow. At the moment, the list has 214 songs! My list includes You Gave Your Love to me Softly, Longtime Sunshine, Turn Me Round, Getting Up and Leaving, Waiting on You, and Back to the Shack. We learned early this year that a new Weezer record is on the way and we got to hear Back to the Shack twice on the Weezer Cruise II.
So here is the master list from Karl et al. on Weezerpedia!
I will soon publish my Google Doc Spreadsheet, which will document my progress.
Here is my Spotify playlist.

PLW Rater! It's not quite Leonard Maltin, but it will work.
1 - Go get a beer...It's still a Weezer song, but it's a good time to rent a beer
2 - Head Bobber...The song causes at least moderate movement
3 - Rock it out...Banging of the head and the arm is in the air \m/
4 - Undone...No choice but to jump around
