Fall Out Boy's Wentz Sues

2007-11-29 by Aakon_Keetreh | 51 Comments


Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz has launched a legal battle against Canadian band Neurosonic for exploiting his girlfriend Ashlee Simpson, according to reports.

The group's song 'So Many People' references American TV show Saturday Night Live, on which Simpson was famously slammed for lip-syncing during her performance.

Neurosonic sing in the track: "Everything under the sun / Going to hell in an episode of SNL / Busted on the TV / You ugly girl, you cannot sing / Can't even lip sync / Apparently money can even buy you dignity".

Frontman Jason Darr also reportedly encouraged the audience at the Knitting Factory in New York to mimic a dance similar to Ashlee Simpson after her performance on show.

The lyrics for the song are an awesome stab at Simpson, who deserves to be made fun of after what she did.
Really hope FOB doesn't win.

Those lyrics are dumb anyways. Hmm who will win this case; the rich mainstream bassist or a no name Canadian metal band? Tough one, hope Neurosonic enjoys the press coverage.

How is it clear defamation? Her name isn't even used.
He won't win. There is no way he can prove that that hurt Simpson's image.

You speak the truth. Besides, I doubt that song changed anyone's opinion...that is if anyone's actually heard Neurosonic before.

Like I said last page, it's not defamation if it's true.

Ashlee did go on SNL and did lip sync. There probably will not be a case.

Hey everyone- do you reckon if my band writes a song that mentions a celebrity or someone with a boyfriend in a famous band...that my band will get attention like this?

The "you ugly girl you cannot sing" quote is the lyricists opinion, still not defamation.

If the lyrics said something like "after the SNL show Ashlee Simpson had sex with a dog and pissed on children backstage" then you may have a case.

I dunno, didn't she get embarrassed and run off of the stage on SNL? And I seem to recall her getting boo'ed massively by an ENTIRE stadium or something? If those didn't taint her image this song is definitely going to!

She should sue SNL and everyone that boos her too!

But to be serious. This is completely faggish.This Message Edited On 11.29.07

Rappers slam each other all the time in lyrics. This lawsuit won't even hold up. It's only defamation if the persons name is mentioned. Pete should worry more about getting sued again for stealing more of Wes Eisold's lyrics.

Amen to Cometuesday. What makes this band so special? Everyone I know slanders her name every time she's brought up.

I think I've found a shocking explanation for all this.

Pete Wentz is operating under a fake name. The truth is that he was born and raised in a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Actually, born is a misnomer. He was created by a French-Canadian mad doctor by the last name of Moreau. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's true. Through a combination of gruesome vivisection, insane genius, and a little too much Molson Dry while watching Skinemax, the dreadful Dr. Moreau created a human-vagina hybrid.

Don't you see? This explains everything! His whiny nature that he tries to combat, his sudden bouts of wussiness, his antagonism toward Canadians... My god, how could we have not seen it before?!

Moreau?! WHERE ARE YOU?! MOREAAAAUUU!!

[quote=Slaytan]Pathetic on both ends.[/quote]

My thoughts exactly. The lyrics aren't that funny, as someone else said eariler, because this is outdated. Pete Wentz is pathetic because hes overreacting and being a complete arse.

And seriously, how long will this celeb relationship last anyway?

I agree with Slaytan. This is pathetic on both ends. This band must be really pathetic to have nothing better to do than write lyrics making fun of asshat celebrities. And all that this peterhead, Pete Wentz, is doing is drawing more attention to this song and band anyway. I had never even heard of Neurosonic until now.

If I were Ashlee Simpson, I'd punch him in the face for drawing more attention to my screwed up career in the first place. Pete Wentz probably wants to feel like a big man who is sticking up for his dumb broad, but really he's just a dumbass.This Message Edited On 11.30.07
