Featured Artist #26: Fall Out Boy

[Kif]

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy is:
Patrick Stump - Vocals, Guitar
Peter Wentz - Bass
Andrew Hurley - Drums
Joseph Trohman - Guitar

Fall Out Boy have quickly risen from playing garages and clubs in Chicago to places all around America and Europe. Their blend of beautifully crafted hooks, fast beats and tongue-in-cheek lyrics have gotten them to where they are now; a part of Island Records roster.

The band appeared on the scene no shorter than 4 years ago in 2001, when they made a 3 song demo. These 3 songs were enough to catch the eye of label Uprising Records, and in 2002, the band made a split EP with Project Rocket.

It wasnt until Janurary 2003 that the band made their first full length record, Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend. The 3 songs on the demos were redone, and put together with 6 more hard-hitting and raw pop-punk songs, including the now famous "Honorable Mention" and "Pretty In Punk".

Touring for this CD was quick, as major pop-punk label Fueled By Ramen Records were eager to sign the band. The label were allowed an advance from Island Records to let the band record their debut for FBR.

So in May 2003, 4 months after they recorded their first LP, Fall Out Boy headed to the studio again to record what some say is the best record of 2003. Take This To Your Grave was unleashed on the world May 6th, 2003. Jam-packed with 12 chirpy pop-punk anthems like "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?", "Saturday" and "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago" (An obvious play on their former choice of venue for the band), the album featured more polished sounds without losing the momentum the band prevously had.

The band played 280 gigs in 2003, supporting both records released that year. Of course, it wasn't just this that go them their fanbase they have now. Touring with bands like Less Than Jake, Rufio, All American Rejects, Yellowcard and more got them noticed, and the band just 2 years old headlined the Radiotakeover “Back to School Tour” in August and September.

And how did Fall Out Boy bring in the new year? They signed with major label Island Records. That's right, in one year, all this drama went on for the band, and they managed to get a deal with one of the biggest major labels in the world, sporting bands like cKy, Sum 41, Thrice and Thursday.

2004 saw Fall Out Boy in the studio again, this time recording an acoustic EP which was tenetively entitled My Heart Will Always Be On The B-Side Of My Tongue. 4 new acoustic songs (1 of these would later feature on their Island Records album debut) and 1 acoustic version of "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?", and a DVD included with the pack, left fans begging for more.

The band toured hard in 2004, heading across the pond to Europe and toured with huge bands such as Blink-182. The band also headlined the “Believers Never Die” tour over summer, quickly followed by a slot on the Warped Tour. It was at the end of the year the band headed back to the studio to record their first album in 2 years; From Under The Cork Tree.

The title came from when the band's tour van crashed, and apparently Patrick wrote a bunch of the songs on this album from under a cork tree while waiting for help. The album sounds completely perfect in sound quality, losing some of it's raw feel previous albums had. But this is quickly made up by the fact that FOB never lost their gift for making superb pop-punk songs. Newer riffs were tried out on this record, and Patrick's vocals sound tremendous. Songs like "Dance, Dance", the previously acoustic "Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner" and "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" really prove how matured Fall Out Boy are, yet how they never lost their touch with the music.

As if this wasn't enough, the band have decided to remaster their first 2 albums. TTTYG was remastered back in January, retitled Take This To Your Grave: The Director's Cut (And included 2 extra tracks. Roxanne, a Police cover, and a remix of Grand Theft Autum/Where Is Your Boy), and FOBEWYG was remastered last month in May, and retitled as Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Grlfriend: The 2nd Date Remix.

And as for the band, they are busy touring and promoting the new album. They have toured with FBR new kids on the block Gym Class Heroes and The Academy Is..., and have toured with Silverstein as well. The band have appeared on television sets all around the world on such programs like The Conan O' Brian Show and TRL (Beating off The White Stripes in the video chart). Hell, they recently took over KROCK2 radio for an hour and got to pick their own playlist. They decided to play the whole of their new album, something only the cockiest and funniest band could get away with!

It may have only taken 4 years for Fall Out Boy to get into iPods of pop-punk fans everywhere, but they were 4 long years filled with studio time, touring and promotions. They have never taken themselves too seriously, something I think has helped them get to where they are. Yet they have always expressed their hate for the decline of the pop-punk and "emo" scene, and have done their part to get kids to not follow the scene (One demo for the new album was called "I Like You A Whole Lot More Before You Were A ****ing Myspace Whore")

[cbmartinez]

Good FA, horrible band.

[Wow]

[RissaPoodle]

I hate you Chris.

But I adore Fall Out Boy.

[Fabz]

Never really got the chance to get into them....I have Take This To Your Grave on my computer....and I have only listen to it once, maybe I should give a listen.

[EarlyNovember187]

[eyeless_dk_]

[Kif]

[hey, you're not cory!]

Nicely done, Kifster! Fall Out Boy are the poo!

[cobert]

Good FA, horrible band.

Damn straight.

[daveblinkkid]

I really like the band my fav. Song Is Where is ur Boy.

[MILF Hunter]

The singer really needs to grow some testicles

[DepthsOfDreams555]

jus cause he has a high voice doesnt mean he doesnt have testicles people keep sayin that someone said that bout claudio from coheed in the coheed thread FOB are tight i really like em the new cd blew me away

[mattmcdizzle]

i read in a newspaper article while i was in chicago that they got the name "from under the cork tree" from some book, i forgot which one it was

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Unfortunately they've been added to the mainstafe of the Reading and Leeds festivals

[frmautumTOashes]

I downloaded some of their songs, but I haven't really listened to them enough to form an opinion. From what I heard though I don't like them much. The singers voice is annoying.

[young, loud and andrew]

Great FA. FOB has been one of my favorite bands for the past two years. My friend actually saw a few of the guys walking around downtown NYC yesterday. Too bad I was in a completely different part of the city.

Anyway, the new, "sugar, we're going down" fans are going to suck... but I guess we have to deal with it. Their set at Warped probably won't be that good either. But... I could be wrong.

[young, loud and andrew]

Fall Out Boy
headlined the Radiotakeover “Back to School Tour” in August and September.



Sorry for the double post but...

That tour was amazing. Also, I do interviews for //rto. Good deal.

[young, loud and andrew]

I downloaded some of their songs, but I haven't really listened to them enough to form an opinion. From what I heard though I don't like them much. The singers voice is annoying.

Fran's voice is terrible.

[Tjebby]

Dance Dance is my favorite song at the moment. Its just so catchy.

[Mellophobia_90]

great work kif :thumb:
lol but you didnt just copy all that from a website or something did you?

[Mellophobia_90]

The singer really needs to grow some testicles

have you ever stopped to think that maybe they just sound like that when they sing because it sounds good and people like it?

[Aramis]

The singer's voice is alright. . .it can be annoying at times; however I still enjoy their music. Their new album is good.

[SrV_FeN63'StRaT]

their song sugar were going down is awesome

[beavis_butthead]

their song sugar were going down is awesome
it is ok but gta/where is your boy is better

[hey, you're not cory!]

I got From Under the Cork Tree the other day and its awesome. These guys are almost one of my favorite bands, I was really wrong about them.

[Tjebby]

Take This To Your Grave is much better IMO. And My Heart Will Always Be The B-side To My Tongue, is amazing.

[hey, you're not cory!]

No way, From Under the Cork Tree takes everything good about Take This to Your Grave and makes it better, and then adds a bunch of other cool stuff.

[Kif]

I think that a lot of people prefer TTTYG because it was their breakthrough album and because it carries the raw feel along with the poppy riffs and typical FOB lyrics. FUTCT is a lot more polished and "quality-perfect", but you still get that FOB sense of pop-punk with it.

I like both equally I think, maybe leaning towards TTTYG a little more because it has some of my favourite FOB songs on it. Then again, so does FUTCT

[themandontgiveafuk2]

http://www.rebelforums.org

Go on it.

[Kif]

Stop advertising jackass!

[The Crowing]

"Tell That Mick.." would have to be the favorite for me.

[clearvision]

Nice FA...

i'm a sucker for this band, don't really know what thats all about, I'm not much of a pop-punk man.

Good work :)

[cobert]

I demand that all of you immediately download the Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy mash up. I cant remember the GCH cong, but the FOB song was where is your boy. Its a nice mix. Matter of fact, go download anything by GCH, theyre awesome.

[Kif]

Gym Class Heroes are amazing. I have a song by them and The Academy Is.. called "Naked Peekaboo" and it's so funny.

I sadly don't have that mash-up, allthough I would like it.

[cobert]

Gym Class Heroes are amazing.

Indeed. The song papercuts is hella ****. Then theres the song taxi driver, which names tons of well known indie and emo bands.

[TAND]

I saw them live with Streetlight, their singer was stoned. He was making faces at the crowd.

[at.the.carcass.of.god]

imo, every song on tttyg is really good, but on fuct, theyre are some absolutely amazing songs, and some simply good songs. but i really like both.

[Against Miik!]

They are number one on TRL. They are one of the few pop punk bands I like, and they have to be ruined by this. Its a sick world ill tell ya.

[TMA]

Honestly, I've only just started getting into to Fall Out Boy, but I have to say that I'm really liking it so far.
I'd blame it all on MTV, but I don't watch MTV. Except for Pimp My Ride... sh*ts addictive.

[cobert]

fuct



Kids these days...I mean, the language on this one!

[the skating drummer]

am i the only one who thinks fall out boy sucks

[the skating drummer]

Indeed. The song papercuts is hella ****. Then theres the song taxi driver, which names tons of well known indie and emo bands.

yeah taxi driver is awesome and makeout club is pretty good

[Drum Boy]

TSD no your not the only one, some other people said they hated them!

Do Fall Out Boy do a song called "Yule Shot Your Eye Out"???

[Drum Boy]

anyone?

[Tjebby]

Yes, they do.

[frmautumTOashes]

Fran's voice is terrible.

I like how his voice contrasts with Ben's. Plus he's got a sick scream. I'll admit about FOB, this one really annoying girl at my school loves them, and I think that kinda made me biased against them.

[Kif]

TSD no your not the only one, some other people said they hated them!

Do Fall Out Boy do a song called "Yule Shot Your Eye Out"???
Yeah, and it's awesome. It's like;

FOB tongue-in-cheek lyrics + acoustic guitar + Xmas theme and jingle bells

I'll post it up in a minute

[Drum Boy]

Yeah but what album is it on?

It's my fav. FOB song definitely!

[Kif]

It's not on any album, it's just a song they made for Christmas

[Drum Boy]

Oh, thats why i was wondering if it was one of theres! Yeah it rocks though!

[MCatalano]

yea i heard em for the first time a couple weeks ago, first song i heard was Dead On Arrival and i think that they're an awesome band

[Drum Boy]

Yeah there really great, i'm gonna get more of their stuff!

[HTLSM]

fall out boy sucks one nut.

[Drum Boy]

Why?

[isitzac]

ok, just because their lead singer has a high voice doesnt mean he has no balls, seriously. The man has a great voice, and if you think it sucks, its probably becauase he doesnt scream in every song. Good singing takes talent, screaming doesnt, thats what babies do because they havent developed the ability to talk. Not that i hate all screaming, the used and mcr have some good stuff, but singing well requires talent.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Screaming takes a huge amount of talent, hence how there are more bands with people that have good singers than bands that have good screamers.

The singing in bands such as Fallout Boy and coheed and Cambria is awful, IMO

[isitzac]

i never said the screaming in fob is good, i tend to skip over it because it isnt as good as screaming in other bands, maybe its just my opinion, but i do prefer singing to screaming.

[Kif]

Patrick doesn't scream at all, Andrew the drummer does.

I agree with James though; FOB's screaming does get on my nerves a lot. Screaming has no place in a band like this, and it just was never going to be pulled off well. And I wasn't aware there was screaming in Co&Ca?

There is, its very raspy singing tone in some songs and a full on scream in others. Listen towards the end of 'Hearshot Kid Disaster' and the second part of 'Junesong provision' (is it ALL!!). Mostly there was just screaming on second stage turbine blade, not alot was on IKSOSE.

[Kif]

Ahhh, I haven't listened to SSTB that much. I only remember it on IKSOSE:3 on "The Velorium Camper III: Al The Killer"

[cobert]

Ahhh, I haven't listened to SSTB that much. I only remember it on IKSOSE:3 on "The Velorium Camper III: Al The Killer"

And the interlude part from Three evils (Following you, across the interstate walking away!) could be considered screaming.

[Drum Boy]

Whoooo< Falln Our Boy!!!!!!!!!!! I Love Em!!!!!! I Only Have 5 Songs But I Love Em!!!!!!!!!

where would one find that mash up, sounds interesting

[cobert]

where would one find that mash up, sounds interesting

I downloaded it from limewire.

[rubberabbit]

sry, what does FA stand for?
i suppose its full autobio?

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Featured Artist

and i'm starting to like them :eek:

[Angry Balled Fists!]

OH NO

I love them now...

[Drum Boy]

Yes, ha ha, you have been enthrawled!

[Tjebby]

I think I was the same way that Dan is... I just thought they were so-so at first, now I am in love with them. Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner is a great song, and so is Dead On Arrival. I think Patricks voice is good, not annoying.

[isitzac]

Patrick has a great voice. Listen to 'Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner' or 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles... and you can tell right away.

[hey, you're not cory!]

I don't see how his voice is high pitched...like at all. In fact really he goes deep a lot, like in "Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner" like people have been saying. His voice isn't really high pitched at all.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

His voice is VERY high pitched on Take this to your grave

[hey, you're not cory!]

Its higher, but its not VERY high pitched. Its nothing compared to Rufio, Coheed and Cambira, Circa Survive, Anatomy of a Ghost, The All-American Rejects, Copeland, Saves the Day, Motion City Soundtrack and a ton of other bands. Its just another reason people use to talk **** about them cause they're on MTV and its not "cool" to like a band on MTV.

[Kif]

Listen to him on "Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying" on the last chorus, and he is still hitting the high notes at the end. Patrick's voice is powerful, and I think that's a reason people don't like him. People tend to have a problem with bands who can sing (The Used instantly come to mind), which I find a bit weird

[hey, you're not cory!]

I know that his voice can get high. I'm not saying that. He gets high in "Dance, Dance" and "Our Lawyers Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued". I'm just saying that his normal singing voice isn't particularly(sp?) high and I don't understand why people keep saying that.

And yes, he is an incredible singer.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

dam, i really love them now.

Oh well.

[Kif]

Fall Out Boy own me at the moment

414 plays from me I think

[Drum Boy]

Yeah i love them right now too but i don't have any of there albums! Ugh, have to order some!

[young, loud and andrew]

Patrick doesn't scream at all, Andrew the drummer does.



What? Know your shi.t, my man. Andy doesn't do any screaming, Pete does. Pete used to sing for Arma Angelus.

[young, loud and andrew]

People tend to have a problem with bands who can sing (The Used instantly come to mind), which I find a bit weird

I'm pretty sure it's because The Used f.ucking suck.

[Drum Boy]

I don't think they do, i like alot of their stuff!

[young, loud and andrew]

I don't think they do, i like alot of their stuff!

Thanks for sharing!

[hey, you're not cory!]

Oh........good one.

Cool beans.

[Drum Boy]

OMFG!!!!!!!!

You say Cool Beans! Where are you from? All my friends say that, i though we made it up! Lol!

[EmoMagnum]

I actually disliked FOB at first, after seeing the lyric "Ill be your best-kept secret and your biggest mistake/regret" I dl'd the song and listened to it, and it wasnt at all what I expected.

Then I heard "Sugar, We're going down." So I decided to give them another chance, and I downloaded a few more songs. Id have to say I like them alot now, after getting used to them. Their lyrics are Super-catchy, and make good phrases for the depressing people I know that like to garner attention with them.

If I see you type in color one more time... I'm gonna freak out.

Post in color I want to see Rissa freak. :p

Anyways people tell you not to post in color, becuase its annoying, and if everyone did it, it would be bad. It also is hard to read sometimes. And you have to be a member for 24 hours before making a new thread. What was your thread idea?

[RissaPoodle]

Lmao.. Why not type in color?

**edit**

Also, could someone help me out with not being able to post a new thread?

I suggest not making a new thread unless it's going to be amazing. Because you have a very low post count not many people will take your thread seriously.

[EmoMagnum]

Lol, The low post count=St00pid n00b theory. I just wanted to post my songs in the songwriting area. I wasnt planning on making any threads in here, I always just look around for abit before I start adding random threads to any board I join.

[Kif]

In that case it's the giant blue button which says "New Thread".

I don't mean that to sound like sarcasm if it does

[EmoMagnum]

Lol yea it does, but someone said I had to wait at least 24 hours before Im allowed to start new threads. So, Im waiting while browsing all of the topics..Theres alot of spam around here.

[Kif]

Haha, welcome to MX :thumb:

Yeah you have to wait 24 hours before making a thread, apparently that stops spamming from the newbies...

I suggest not making a new thread unless it's going to be amazing. Because you have a very low post count not many people will take your thread seriously.

Oh they are lyrics, I thought you had recorded a song

/me reads

[jakerc]

I don't mean to be a jerk and I know i'm new here, but wasn't the title of the new album gotten from the story of ferdinand the bull who only wanted to sit under the cork tree and smell flowers instead of fighting like all the other bulls?

[Kif]

No, it was from when the band's tour bus crashed on the road. Patrick apparently wrote a lot of the songs under a cork tree

[hey, you're not cory!]

I'm not saying that Alternative Press is the place to go for 100% correct information, but they said that the album was named after Ferdinand the Bull. Pete apparently has him tatooed on his arm.

[jakerc]

No, it was from when the band's tour bus crashed on the road. Patrick apparently wrote a lot of the songs under a cork tree

this is from www.falloutboyrock.com under the biography section:

When he was a little boy, Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz enjoyed reading “Curious George,” “Babar” and Richard Scarry books, but his favorite children’s book was “The Story of Ferdinand” by Munro Leaf. The story, about a giant bull who sits under a cork tree and smells flowers instead of getting into the ring and battling a bullfighter, was so inspirational to Wentz that he titled the band’s breakthrough record From Under the Cork Tree.

[drummerchick88]

Nope, I have never heard anything from then until now.

so i am guessing you like green day?? their awesome

[James_666]

I dislike FOB because I feel there lyrics are beating a dead horse (though better than most pop punk), and I think that the guitar, bass, and drumming is very boring, repetitive, and lacks inspiration.

But I am a rocker/metalhead just visiting other forums for the h e l l of it.

[Drum Boy]

Well that was kinda pointless, if it isn't your kind of music then your probably not going to like it! But i don't agree with you about the repetiveness!

[Gnarmageddon]

w00t. I'm going to see FOB today. :D

[Divine_Enemy]

Great FA. I don't think it could have been done better. I've been an FOB fan for a few years since I heard a little comp thing with them on it that I snagged outside of a concert. I haven't been able to see them live because when they come to Philly, it sells out so flippin fast that it's nuts. I have a ton of their live vids on my computer so it's like I've seen them live. They were on Fuse's 7th Avenue Drop a few weeks ago and that was awesome. If anyone saw that, they know how cool it was.

[Drum Boy]

Whats Fuse's 7th?

[Drum Boy]

Why was Kif banned?

Because I posted a see-thru boob shot of Jessica Alba, which apparently constitutes as a nude

They weren't that great. I didn't realize they were playing, so i got there about 3/4 of the way through their set. They kind of sucked. :-/

I see. Doesn't suprise me though.

[Drum Boy]

Why doesn't it surprise you? You expect them to perform badly live?

[Kif]

Honestly, I know they suck live. I've got severla live songs from them and Patrick's singing is quite bad. I think it's because in the studio he doesn't play and sing at the same time, so he focus' more on singing.

Doesn't make me not want to see them though

[Drum Boy]

Oh, well, thats kinda put me off! I'd still love to see them live, but to me, half the bands work is writing the songs and recording them, the other half is delivering a good performance! Ah well, not like they'll be coming here anytime soon!

[Tjebby]

It doesn't suprise me, becuase i wouldnt expect them to play cd quality. In the studio, they all focus on one thing... playing your instrument... minus patrick. When your on stage, you have to play for the crowd, so you focus on them. And besides, who hits all the notes every time.

[drummerchick88]

I LOVE FALL OUT BOY. I bought take this to your grave and listen to it every day its such a good cd and such a good band and whoever hasn't checked them out should

[MFAN3]

What's up guys…I just found this contest for Lazer Tag where you can win a trip to Warped Tour including hotel and everything; I was at warped tour in Pomona and it was really cool. You'll also have the opportunity to play Lazer Tag against Fall Out Boy which would be kinda crazy. Check it out: http://reg.hasbro.com/lazertag/wt05/Registration.aspx?linkID=lazertag140

[hey, you're not cory!]

I saw them at Warped yesterday and they were really good. I made my way really close which made the experience better. They had a lot of energy. You couldn't hear Patrick very well but they played well and all the stage antics made up for it. During "Saturday" the guy from Gym Class Heroes came out and screamed in it. It was "kewl".

[Drum Boy]

Wow, your so god **** lucky! Sounds cool, i like energy driven bands live!

Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy is:
Patrick Stump - Vocals, Guitar
Peter Wentz - Bass
Andrew Hurley - Drums
Joseph Trohman - Guitar

Fall Out Boy have quickly risen from playing garages and clubs in Chicago to places all around America and Europe. Their blend of beautifully crafted hooks, fast beats and tongue-in-cheek lyrics have gotten them to where they are now; a part of Island Records roster.

The band appeared on the scene no shorter than 4 years ago in 2001, when they made a 3 song demo. These 3 songs were enough to catch the eye of label Uprising Records, and in 2002, the band made a split EP with Project Rocket.

It wasnt until Janurary 2003 that the band made their first full length record, Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend. The 3 songs on the demos were redone, and put together with 6 more hard-hitting and raw pop-punk songs, including the now famous "Honorable Mention" and "Pretty In Punk".

Touring for this CD was quick, as major pop-punk label Fueled By Ramen Records were eager to sign the band. The label were allowed an advance from Island Records to let the band record their debut for FBR.

So in May 2003, 4 months after they recorded their first LP, Fall Out Boy headed to the studio again to record what some say is the best record of 2003. Take This To Your Grave was unleashed on the world May 6th, 2003. Jam-packed with 12 chirpy pop-punk anthems like "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?", "Saturday" and "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago" (An obvious play on their former choice of venue for the band), the album featured more polished sounds without losing the momentum the band prevously had.

The band played 280 gigs in 2003, supporting both records released that year. Of course, it wasn't just this that go them their fanbase they have now. Touring with bands like Less Than Jake, Rufio, All American Rejects, Yellowcard and more got them noticed, and the band just 2 years old headlined the Radiotakeover “Back to School Tour” in August and September.

And how did Fall Out Boy bring in the new year? They signed with major label Island Records. That's right, in one year, all this drama went on for the band, and they managed to get a deal with one of the biggest major labels in the world, sporting bands like cKy, Sum 41, Thrice and Thursday.

2004 saw Fall Out Boy in the studio again, this time recording an acoustic EP which was tenetively entitled My Heart Will Always Be On The B-Side Of My Tongue. 4 new acoustic songs (1 of these would later feature on their Island Records album debut) and 1 acoustic version of "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?", and a DVD included with the pack, left fans begging for more.

The band toured hard in 2004, heading across the pond to Europe and toured with huge bands such as Blink-182. The band also headlined the “Believers Never Die” tour over summer, quickly followed by a slot on the Warped Tour. It was at the end of the year the band headed back to the studio to record their first album in 2 years; From Under The Cork Tree.

The title came from when the band's tour van crashed, and apparently Patrick wrote a bunch of the songs on this album from under a cork tree while waiting for help. The album sounds completely perfect in sound quality, losing some of it's raw feel previous albums had. But this is quickly made up by the fact that FOB never lost their gift for making superb pop-punk songs. Newer riffs were tried out on this record, and Patrick's vocals sound tremendous. Songs like "Dance, Dance", the previously acoustic "Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner" and "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" really prove how matured Fall Out Boy are, yet how they never lost their touch with the music.

As if this wasn't enough, the band have decided to remaster their first 2 albums. TTTYG was remastered back in January, retitled Take This To Your Grave: The Director's Cut (And included 2 extra tracks. Roxanne, a Police cover, and a remix of Grand Theft Autum/Where Is Your Boy), and FOBEWYG was remastered last month in May, and retitled as Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Grlfriend: The 2nd Date Remix.

And as for the band, they are busy touring and promoting the new album. They have toured with FBR new kids on the block Gym Class Heroes and The Academy Is..., and have toured with Silverstein as well. The band have appeared on television sets all around the world on such programs like The Conan O' Brian Show and TRL (Beating off The White Stripes in the video chart). Hell, they recently took over KROCK2 radio for an hour and got to pick their own playlist. They decided to play the whole of their new album, something only the cockiest and funniest band could get away with!

It may have only taken 4 years for Fall Out Boy to get into iPods of pop-punk fans everywhere, but they were 4 long years filled with studio time, touring and promotions. They have never taken themselves too seriously, something I think has helped them get to where they are. Yet they have always expressed their hate for the decline of the pop-punk and "emo" scene, and have done their part to get kids to not follow the scene (One demo for the new album was called "I Like You A Whole Lot More Before You Were A ****ing Myspace Whore")

Oh by the way...
I saw Fall Out Boy on Thursday at Warped... Oh my god, it was orgasmic. Justin from Motion City came and sang and then Ray from MCR played bass while Pete was in the crowd.
Oh man, it was amazing.

[Mute Print]

Wow! I'm planning on seeing Fall Out Boy at the Warped Tour when I go. I hope they do something like that at my stop. It's always cool when members from other bands make special appearances.

Wow, the same thing happened at my stop the day before. Only it was the rapper from Gym Class Heroes who came and screamed at the end of "Saturday". I don't know who the guy Pete gave his bass to was though.

Looooove FOB to pieces, great FA. :)

Favourites would have to be "Tell That Mick...", "Grand Theft Autumn..." and "sophomore Slump..."

I actually thought they were wonderful live. I mean they had so much energy. The vocals weren't terrible either. And it's not like I couldn't hear Patrick because I could and he was wonderful as always.

when i first saw their video i thought it was a parody about the pop punk genre.

I think the reason people listen to it is because that's what they enjoy. Everyone has different tastes.

In the case of Fall Out Boy, they attract a wide variety of people because their songs tend to be very catchy (especially the one's that are played on the radio/MTV). If you don't like it, don't listen to it, but also don't go around questioning other people's choice of music. Everyone likes different things, deal with it.

If i had no shame I could be doing what Fall Out Boy does. Lots of people can. As musicians(and listeners) we are inherently critical for good reason . Art demands to be critiqued and bad art deserves to be ridiculed.Deal with it.

Is he that slow at reading? lol

All music doesn't have to be art nutkick. Before you criticize a band, listen to the songs other than whats on the radio. Dont prejudge something you know nothing about. People can listen to whatever they want, because if they like it, they will. I happen to love Fall Out Boy for their simplicity, just like I love other bands for their intriquicy. I honestly doubt you will change anyone's mind by saying that the band sucks, because once again that is your opinion. Get over yourself man.

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

any one who says fall out boy is simplistick should not be talking, unless u can write better lyrics than pete and patick, u cant say much about simpicity, they are the best of both worlds, deep meaningful songs, and catchy music, what band has that blend perfectly. Blink had the catchy riffs, but no lyrical content, Thursday had the content, but there songs were to complex for the evryday listener, the only bands that can even stand up to FOB in the category of blend of music and lyrics is TBS. I kno what your saying, TBS isnt good, well aparently they are or they wouldnt have made it through the NY scean and made it mainstream. I have been with these bands since they started and am happy and sad for them when they hit it big, but FOB deserves it, they worked hard and they proved that u can sound pop in music but when u look up the lyrics or actully LISTEN to a song closely, these are the most clever lyrics since.......im almost gunna have to say ever

[B]

*Long paragraph full of grammatical and spelling errors*
He was implying that their music was simplistic. Not the lyrical content. Besides, if you want complex/"deep meaningful" lyrics, try bands like Circle Takes The Square, Coheed & Cambria, and as you said, Thurday. I for one enjoy complicated lyrics. Some people don't. It's opinion. But in my opinion and I'm sure most others, Fall Out Boy does not, in anyway, have the best lyrics ever.

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

o sir, i agree, i was mispoken when i said they had the best lyrics every, i purely ment to say that they had more complex lyrics than most bands with there sound. I have checked out thoes bands u posted and like them all, im very diverse in my music from pop-punk, to hardcore, to jazz blues so on and so forth, go**** i even like billy joel, i was pointing out the fact that some people hate on Fall Out Boy, bucause they have such a a prejudice for pop-punk because of the either sillyness or shallowness of there lyrics dont stop to listen to, in my opinon, the biggest up and comming pop-punk band since Green Day hit the people of suburbia, thats saying alot since i adore what Green Day did for pop-punk music

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

and i kno i write to much but im sick of people telling me i dont kno **** bout music, im a punk stuck in a black preps body, so whenever i get a chance to show my knowldge to people that would normaly think i listen to Simple Plan :evil: i go a little over board

[The Crowing]

Real TBS Fan or whatever. What's your favorite song off of "FOB's Evening Out With Your Girl"? Just asking. I said I happen to love FOB for their simplicity, trust me kid, their guitar work is very simple. A band doesnt have to be crazy go wild with their instruments to make an impact.

ok dude, sorry, but i guess u thought i was taking a stab at you. I wasnt but i get kinda mad when people say fall out boy is just another simple dinky pop-punk band, and to me thats what it sounded like you where callin them. My fualt, we are prob both huge FOB fans and shouldnt be divided but united with eachother agaisnt haters and fakes who claim to know them just by "Sugar were going down"

as far as "Evening Out with your girl" Pretty in Punk is good, but my fav is #8 "Moving Pictures" even though like alot of people who are from the south i was first exsposed to this amazing bad with "Take This to Your Grave" but i have no shame in that because i went and bought "Evening out with your Girl" 5 days after hearing "TTTYG"

whats your fav FOB song of all time, mine has to be "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out" its clasic and acustic, what more can u ask

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Man, I don't know what you were talking about earlier about Taking Back Sunday being no good but that doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong I love Fall Out Boy and all the other bands that are included in your name. I have liked them also since they got started, I hate posers to, people that think they know Fall Out Boy just cause they listen to the radio and here "Sugar Were Goin Down" I just think that you shouldn't worry about that in here, and also just be open-minded to everyone elses comments, and don't think the bands you like are perfect. I'm also not trying to smash on you or anything. Just trying to tell you what I think.

Also haha my favorite Fall Out Boy song is Chicago is So Two Years Ago.

[The Crowing]

"Tell That Mick..." here.

o dude no problem, i think i confused a few people with my thing on TBS. I was trying to make a point, but it came out wrong. Im very open minded to others comments, ive been reading these threads for the past 2 years and jus today decided to join in the fun. Sorry if i seemed like i was downing other comments, not my intention at all


Great song pick, being a fan i kno how hard it must be to pick just one song to love from this group

[Masters03]

Seeing as this thread has been bumped, and I have surprisingly not posted in it yet, I will say how much I love Fall Out Boy.

I love Fall Out Boy. Great band, great lyrics, great music. I've really been digging "I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me". Really fun to play on guitar.

i have their latest CD, not bad, but not my favorite pop-punk band. Im going to see them tomorrow though at nintendo fusion!!! :D

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ahhh man I wish I got to go to NFT its going to be sweet they have good bands going to be there I was supposed to go but everything is selling out.

[Fish]

I just really want to see Panic at the disco!

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya but dude you have such a good line-up there Panic!, Fall Out Boy, Starting Line, Motion City Soundtrack, and Boys Night Out I love all of those bands and I am really mad that I ain't going.

[Fish]

[DepthsOfDreams555]

:D ill tell you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about it ;)


Ya I bet you will.....I still might be going in Grand Rapids so don't get to cocky.

[Fish]

Bumped, because I have a question, and this is better than making a whole new thread.

Can anyone send me Fall Out Boy's song's "Snitches And Talkers Get Stitches And Walkers" and "We Don't Take Hits, We Write Them"?
I really want to hear good quality versions of them, but can't. I want to read the lyrics to the first, as I hear that's the final title of "I Liked You A Whole Lot Better Before You Became A ****ing Myspace Whore", and I wouldn't mind reading that.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Sorry, i don't have them, i haven't listened to them in ages.

[chumpradio]

That helps a lot...

[fckthatnoise]

A bit late but.. I love FOB. They're an awesome band, very origional.
I just won a Fender Strat singed by them from a competition on Kerrang :p

[Crack City Rocker]

this band is horrible. they are not even pop-punk. they should in no way be associated with punk.

[FOB Rule]

^ well i guess someone doesnt like fob

[Get Fighted]
