Pete Wentz Confirms Fall Out Boy Break-Up

Although the group is said to be on a break, bassist Pete Wentz revealed through a social networking site that he won't be having an association with Fall Out Boy anymore and that the band is likely finished.

Through his Twitter account, Wentz engaged in a conversation with fans about Fall Out Boy and revealed his thoughts on the band's status.

"Don't you get it? A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either," he wrote. "I can't imagine playing in FOB again. Something would have to change in my head or my heart ... not my wallet."

Wentz went on about the group's situation and stated they may continue on without him and that he takes blame for the break-up. After posting a few odd posts on his blog about the apparent hiatus, the bassist went on to release the following statements discussing his opinions on the matter.

"I don't know the future of Fall Out Boy. It's embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. As far as I know Fall Out Boy is on break (no one wants to say the 'H' word,)" he wrote. "As much as I don't have a solo project, I also can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again, not due to personal relationships as much as (that as) a band we grew apart"

"Don't you get it? A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either,"

This sounds so arrogant and as though he is calling his fans stupid. which alot of them are granted, but you shouldnt say that to the people who got ya rich.

and to be honest, i did like falloutboy, but after the last album i couldnt care less, they have just gone down hill and now reached rock bottem since 'take this to your grave'

[buddy_69_7]

Thank god for that. Pete is such a knob.

[HH_Emo_666]

many people say that FOB is nothing without Pete. As much as I would like to say that FOB doesn't need him. They actually do. He's the one who writes all the catchy lyrics. I'm pretty sure Patrick could write some good lyrics to go with his amazing guitar playing.

I love how so many people 'hate' Fall Out Boy, yet they feel this sudden urge to read every article about them and comment on them. You're a bunch of arrogant idiots who think you listen to 'real' music when really you're just hopping on a bandwagon.

Anyway, sad times. Although I think they'll be back at some point; not for a few years though. Patrick's writing a solo project in the meantime which looks to be good =)

Well, I wasn't going to comment, but I don't think you have a valid point there. I clicked because I don't want them to make music anymore, and wanted to make sure UG wasn't pulling off one of its all-too-common deceptive headlines. And there was no bandwagon when I first head Fall Out Boy--a lot of my friends kept going, "listen to this new band, they're really catchy!" (as if catchy=good) and I said, "no you guys, they're whiny, annoying, and talentless."

That was my first impression--I've never heard anything to change it, so I haven't, though I'm not going to bash others for thinking otherwise as you seem pretty quick to do.

Well then it's not you that my post concerns then is it. My point isn't that everyone has to like them, that's ridiculous and everyones entitled to their own opinions, that's what musics all about. I'm just sick of people who feel the need to trash any thread they see about them.

Their lyrics aren't catchy, they are absolutely rubbish, half of them make very little sense.
And "amazing guitar playing"? ...what? Since when did power chords and terrible solos count as good playing?

On topic: Quite glad to see them go, never really liked their music, pop to the extreme. And I agree Pete seems to be a dick to his fans .... oh wait! That's because he is an arrogant dick

such bullshit. the label wants them all to try to their hand at either going solo or forming that metal "supergroup" they were talking about. If that doesn't make the money they expect, they'll "reunite" and go back to being fame-whoring bags of douche.

i know FOB are POP Punk so there.
punk rules, suck it

Punk is by no means better than metal. I mean yea your 1st, 3rd, and 5th chords played over and over in a 4/4 time signature is ****ing awesome. Grow up kid, nobody likes Johnny Ramone anymore.

As for FOB, I never cared for their music so whatever.

[henkka_potku]

Everyone knows no-one cares about this band and we all want to express our bitter hatred towards this band. UG staff knows this and makes FOB news just so they can satisfy their banning needs.

That's my theory. Because when I see FOB news I just can't help to comment something. And then I get banned.

lol.

[groove.thang.]

fall out boy actually make decent music for the genre they play

Pete wentz, the image, and the audience they went for is what ruined them. ( ...american idiot?)
If they didnt try to be catchy they could have been real good.

I think patrick stump is clever, and their guitarist and drummer know what they're doing

thanks for the memories is more creative music wise than most popular music

[Anthony1991]

His face makes me angry for reasons i cant explain. More Blink 182 background bassing please

OMGZ UR SO RITE.
But not really.
Shit just because they're a sucessful band who generally aren't liked by a community where a fair whack of the members are metal fans doesn't mean they're not real people. Bands grow apart, they're just not feeling it at the moment. I don't know any of the members personally so I'm not going to go slogging them of as "arrogant douchebags" like a lot of you are.
If I had thier kind of money and nothing better to do I'd use it to track most of you down and drop kick you on your porches Jay and Silent Bob style.

[intothe]

I used to be a big fan of metal and I hated fall out boy, but until kind of recently I decided to be more open with what I listen to, and after giving their music a chance, IMO fall out boy is a good band.
Take this to your grave and From under the cork tree are amazing cds, and while I didn't really like their 2 latest cds, I respect them and think it's a shame that they are quitting

[bassboy92]

i wonder wat sumfx actually considers punk i dont know if im the only one but i am curious. as for fall out boy im not going to say they totally sucked they had good songs but they were never a consistent band and i love metal

Don't make this about Zelda. If you do that, you are unworthy of playing it.

I'm not a big fan on FOB, but they weren't bad. They had some real catchy songs. I don't really get why they break up.

If u dont like it, dont post...that simple. I saw them live and I think the real talent of that band lies in Trohman and Hurley...it was Wentz and Stump were lucky those two were in the band. I am actually excited for their side project (or now permanant band) with Scott Ian. Should be good.

I'm glad this scene is finally dying. Notice you don't hear anything about MCR, Sum 41, Pennywise. Even Blink 182 aren't even as big as they used to be. This trend got old, like others, time to pack it in already.

I can't wait until they know how White Lion feel, when it is exciting to play to an audience of 300, for only 400 a night.

Hells yeah.

Honestly, who does this guy think he is? He's a bassist, if this shitty band wanted to continue he wouldn't be hard to replace. I play an instrument, but I know that any member can be replaced. Still, things sound different, but this guy acts like he's the band. The only member that leaves a band that will affect fan base directly is the front man. Which brings me to my final point, the singer should leave too, then Fall Out Boy can definitely die

[sakura'sdarkest]

I didn't like this band. In fact, I hated the music they played. But to flame the band when they break up really goes beyond me. What's the ****ing point? There's more on this earth you won't like. It's not like they harmed you in ANY way when they existed. So, sorry for the fans, I myself couldn't really care less..

[Iann17]

long and short of it is punk isn't 3 power chords the ramones weren't great but music evolved. I like punk I like metal I like folk I even like old fall out boy when they were a pop punk band not just a pop group every genre has something to offer although obviously not everyone will like everything I don't like pop music much therefore I'm not a FOB fan but they were pretty good as pop groups go. Glad they've split though them fronting pop punk as a genre despite not being pop punk set the genre back years. If you're wondering what punk is try NOFX, Less Than Jake, Bad Religion, A Wilhelm Scream and The Loved Ones to name a few.

I'm kind of glad to hear of FOB breaking up because the first CD they mad TTTYG was like a pop punk masterpiece and I'm not a fan of the direction they went there after. I hope that the members can put their talent to use making music in a style that I enjoy now.
I think it's funny the people who say shit like "i'm just glad they won't be polluting my ears with their crap music anymore" anyone who makes a comment like that is such a complete loser. It's hilarious how you think you're like too hardcore for the pop bands like FOB who are "selling out" when really you're just a loser who can't even be themselves and is trying to be something their not which is "cool and hardcore" yeah dude you're so "hcore" bashing on musicians that are infinitely more talented than you.

You're obviously a complete idiot. Go Wiki FOB I'm pretty sure he started the band and writes basically all the lyrics. Their singer makes all the music and melodies though. Could be good for them though, maybe they'll write something that isn't so childish now.

I think that Fall Out Boy should def continue without Pete, he was becoming to much of an icon and it was going to his head.

If Fall Out Boy made another album without Pete I would definitely give them another chance and listen to it.

[RequiemofDemons]

Well that just brightened my day althought it sounds like Pete is thinking that he IS the band..concidering how much media attention he gets he is partially right..but still :/.. I am interested in hearing the metal side project I was reading about however. Oh well I'm sure if the memebers of FOB want to keep writting music and playing together they will simply just find a new bass player :/

Actually, blink-182 are everything but less successful. Their summer tour was HUGE and their CD is highly anticipated. As for MCR and Sum 41, their working on CD's as we type and have the potential to be huge. So, please, learn your facts before you talk, alright? Thanks.

why does this story have s many comments? a dreadfull band, new age rubbish with no good songs or talent, a singer who you cant actually make out what he's saying, not big enough for a break up to actually mean anything and this guy was the worst part of the band, an ugly wee losers who loves himself even though he is awful.

Does that mean i can't say "i'm so glad they broke up, they were awful"?

Isn't that kinda Dictator-ish? shouldn't people be allowed to freely say what they want here?

I'm not going to bust out into a swear-fest, i'm just going to simply say, this is good news, since i didn't like the band.

and a few more things...

1) Fallout Boy are NOT punk. whoever said that was WAAY off. whiney-emo-core would probably work.

2) whoever was saying hating a band is 'jumping on a band wagon'? That's another stupid thing to say. People are entitled to their own opinion. If you think they're good then you think they're good, don't get so pissy because someone else doesn't.

That's it. Nothing else to say apart from i hope MCR suffer the same fate. And if they have then, YAY!

The situation of System of a Down is very similar to that of Fall Out Boy right now. They both are on a hiatus and it is uncertain whether they'll ever reunite.

Sales for all music are down. So you can't really specify the specific punk genre. Punk's not dead, if it was how would blink-182 have a successful reunion? Regardless of how you feel about Warped Tour, it is the closest festival you'll get to punk, how would that be successful if punk were truly dead?

Oh, and I care about Sum 41 and MCR, so your statement has now become invalid.

Now after watching that, tell me there's a FOB song he wouldn't be good enough to drum on.

And I think it's funny so many people that like blink-182 hate FOB. They're hardly that much different.

[17cml]

I wont lie, I loved FOB. I loved Take This To Your Grave and From Under a Cork Tree. They're amazing cds. When Infinity on High came out, I was just like BLAH! Here goes one of my favorite bands going to the shit hole.
Fall Out Boy was the first band I really heavily listened to when I started actually listen to music I liked. They're a reason me and my best friend are friends.
Buuut...
I can't say I'm all that sad about the break up. I remembering reading about a break up from a band that I had recently started listening to and I was really sad but here, with my once favorite band, I'm not.
Without Pete Wentz, Fall Out Boy would be better, if they plan to continue.

Pete's heads was getting to big for me to handle.

[spiff-corgi]

I think people base their opinions of FOB on Pete Wentz and their singles (which are usually the most poppy, annoying songs on the album). But if you actually sat down and listened to an album I think you'd be pleasantly suprised.
I mean I listen to Metallica, Muse, old J.E.W., Genesis and Goo Goo Dolls but I have to admit that there is some ingenious stuff on Fall Out Boy's last album.

[IIIsoviaIII]

loganpwns: The original fanbase is absent. If you were there from the beginning, then congrats.

I guess I'm trying to say the interest level is gone. And look at ticket sales too. obviously blink 182, green day, and fall out boy have high sales, because every 14- 19 year old are in love with their radio hits. Bottom line, is that like new wave, glam, and grunge, it will die. It only lasts about a decade anyway. Have a nice day.

[chris_red]

Rather than saying "Woo no more Fall Out Boy!" I think for now I'll say "Woo no more Fall Out Boy with Pete Wentz!" I like their music and I bet they'd be more accepted without Pete's image all over it.

[Like I Is]

He doesn't plan on getting "old" or "lonely"?

Ooh, how poignant and brooding.

Anyway, sad times. Although I think they'll be back at some point; not for a few years though. Patrick's writing a solo project in the meantime which looks to be good =)

its not like this is on a fallout boy fan site or aything its a guitar website and its the first headline on the main page and it says they're "breaking up" so not everyone reading this is a fallout boy fan and they can use this commenting space to voice their opinion about the article wether they think about what they say or not just the same as you have a right to commen on their comments and for myself to do the same.
also im not sure whats more troubling every "musician" under the sun throwing around words like breakup, reunion, hiatus, etc to get some attention or that it all seems to be happening on this garbage known as twitter(UG why is twitter news???)

[Pantera2589]

My birthday happened a little early this year. Maybe he realized that his band was very annoying and he was the center of attention of it all.

I'm happy to have you flame more; my ban quota satisfies some some desire beneath the surface.

[metal_al73]

YEAHHHHH!

[bf313]

its so funny the way he talks like he is the only good or important member in the band. I mean like fall out boy could continue on without him and do even better than they were previously doing. People might actuly have respect for FOB when Pete leaves. The only thing he has been to the band is a huge problem.

i was too happy.

So, I'm glad their broken up, because they were that bad. If I get banned for that, then so be it.

[bambi_slaughter]

So you make fall out boy breaking up the headlining news article and yet you expect people not to flame them. Seems like UG needs to rethink its self.

Punk is by no means better than metal. I mean yea your 1st, 3rd, and 5th chords played over and over in a 4/4 time signature is ****ing awesome. Grow up kid, nobody likes Johnny Ramone anymore.

Punk better than metal? C'mon, so jazz is better than blues? And metal better than jazz? Shut your mouth up. It's all music, no genre is better than the other. Some genres are more technical than others, that's it. Some people make one kind of music, and some people make another kind. Grow up.

Anyway, FOB did make a shitty kind of music if you ask me, but hey, that's just my humble opinion. Good to see they aren't making it anymore, because Wentz was practically their pilar.

[[travis]]

Thank god. They were the last sign of the apocalypse. This is probably what caused it: Pete: "Guys, I think I want to comb my hair to the left for now on." ; )

[axeslash]

Rejoice!

[darklink927]

I actually enjoyed most of their stuff... catchy doesn't mean bad! Take "Get the Funk Out" by Extreme for example.
Although no serious loss here. All Pete did to the group is lower their credit. Patrick Stump has got an excellent voice and guitarist (though cliched) could knock out a few good tunes. All he did was lose fans by drinking, fighting and being a general nob-end.

Perhaps they'll meet up with Chris Wolfstenholme or Tim Commerford. Then we'd have a decent band!
*not suggesting either would consider it though :P*

[whybutyeah]

im a huge fan of metal and fall out boy, but I'm atcually happy that pete is leaveing the band. Pete can't play bass and his lyrics are shit. FOB will be better off without him

[Jmoarguitar]

fall out boy breaking up...yesssss. But i can't really think of anyone i know that actually listened to them anyways. And for the dude that said punk is better than metal. If you are referring to fob as punk then i must be crazy but real punk to me is the Sex Pistols, you know actual punks who didn't give a flying F about what people thought.

[jethro bob]

the article makes him sound like a whiny emo bi**h. (which he really is) but i really hope FOB can find someone who doesn't put the band in the emo image, because they're really not.

[Rokeman]

So has anyone not jumped on the band wagon of hate? Have some respect guys, if your favourite band disbanded, you'd be upset if everyone laughed about it. Good for them for making the music they wanted to. One day you people may be in a band, and you'll get haters too, but you make the music that makes you happy regardless.

I'm losing faith in the internet community now...

[shuriken]

[powachord]

i dont like em and i dont hate em, but i had to laugh when i saw wentz on tv complaining about other artists media oversaturation... irony much?

I can accept that a lot of people dislike Fall Out Boy. I get it. i'm actually not a huge fan myself.

I did really like Thanks For The Memories, Sugar We're Going Down, I Don't Care and What A Catch Donnie.

Honestly, Pete Wentz is a loser and I'm glad he's completely out of the band. I just don't really like him. I hope Fall Out Boy will just make music without him. They'd be so much better if they did (no offense Pete).

I gotta say, I'm pretty sad now, though.

god damn there is a lot of flaming going on. so people, try to remember something: this news is here mostly for FOB fans. yeah, i think they suck to. you know what i do? i avoid listening to them.

besides, one of the reasons people play music for others is because people like the music, hence they gain a form of happyness from it. if people are happy listening to their music, who are you to say all these bands should break up?

[Timothy O.]

I liked them. Not the best band ever but they had a good run I guess (kinda lost steam after Folie a Deux but I enjoyed Cork Tree and Infinity). Wish Pete wasn't such a drama queen though. "I don't think I want to do it because the feeling isn't there anymore" would have sufficed XD

Even bands like Pantera arnt as popular after the band stopped (i dont know how to describe it with pantera), and TBH, i would much prefer a Blink reunion than a SOAD one, SOAD really annoyed me

and Sum 41 is not exactly a band to compare to MCR, FOB or Blink, as sum41 did do quite a varied amount of songs with some truley awesome guitar parts. They also changed there style alot more each album. If they are the same as these bands, then they are the most talented of them aswell

Also gnfnrs...Not to mention the same four-chord progressions that plague almost every punk song. As for metal drummers, I'll agree with you. Most of them are just fast at the feet with a simple crash, snare beat. Since I'm not a metalhead, don't label me that. I listen to EVERYTHING, as long as they have a descent drummer, and a badass guitar player. For example, I want to see you name a single punk song that has better drums and guitars then, oh lets say "Collapse" by Saosin. Sure, the vocals sound like a whiny pussy, but I focus on the music aspect...which in my opinion, is what makes a great band.

also, people who think you have to jerk off your guitar to be considered a good band. the demand for complicated intricate guitar playing is in the tiny tiny tiny tiny minority of music listeners, and they just can't accept the fact that other listener's opinions are equally as valid as their own elitist biased opinions.

just my two cents.

YES! I know what you mean. This may mean that Fall Out Boy will be on the road to break up and this will be one of the greatest things that has happened in the past ten years. Fall Out Boy fans let this soak into your thick skulls FALL OUT BOY SUCKS!

Okay I was a fan of Fall Out Boy at one point. Heck I even owned two of their albums. Until in college I was exposed to different music and then realized how much Fall Out Boy sucks. Seriously people must be brainwashed to listen to this crap.

see i was the total opposite, (im not arguing im just striking up conversation), i hated fall out boy all through out high school and had very ignorant elitist opinions about music, and now that i'm in college, i've settled down and broadened my range and became more tolerant, and i started listening to them and realized that they actually write decent songs.

I know and you have a right to your opinion. I just don't like them anymore. What I don't get is why UG bans someone for simply stating their opinion about why a band sucks. People who like the bands are perfectly capable of defending themselves. They'll probably ban me but you know I don't care. I'm going to state my opinion. I didn't insult anyone directly or say anything wrong.

[axemanchris]

It's about preserving an atmosphere of maturity, decency and respect. You're totally allowed to state your opinion, but be constructive about it. "FOB sucks balls" or whatever only serves to incite flaming back and creates a negative atmosphere. You don't like them? Fine. Tell us what's wrong with them, in your opinion, but be mature and respectful about it. That's all.

You'll never get that. It's just "der because they dont have enough distortion and aren't hardcore enough" or "der their lyrics are too gay". Nobody will ever admit that there's no reason to the flaming.

i don't understand people who play music to impress themselves. i play and listen to primarily punk music but i listen to everything from acapella to musicals and so on. listening to one and only one genre of music is boring and most of the people i know who do that are only trying to find some place to fit it. music is bigger than one instrument and one genre, but so many metal fans seem to completely miss the point of music and only like it because "that riff was wicked sick dude!" and can only appreciate guitar-centric productions.

not that it isn't the same for punk. both genres are basically intertwined at various points in music history. but for some reason metal's strategy of attacking a song or songs because of "poor guitarmanship" is less obscene and unreasonable than punk's strategy of attacking songs for not conveying that genre's ideals.

[di4gram]

sorry for the double post, i meant to say metal's strategy is more offensive. late night

as for the news itself, id say this is why i think (IIII think) musicians should all start out solo, create their own ideas and stop focusing so much on being in a band first and foremost, the sometimes dull and tiring process of finding other people to collaborate ideas that have not been developed so early in the becoming of a musician, because the most artistic independent musical visions come from inside yourself, and you alone, and the more you can do on your own, imagine THEN what you can do in collaboration with other musicians?? you just gotta be ready

i just dont understand how fall out boy sold out anymore than those bands though, what exactly did they do? they got signed to a major label? they started touring around the world? thats like every musician's dream, whether they admit it or not. how is that selling out?

[bmxsulli]

I dont understand why everyone (obv not EVERYone) has to immediately trash anything about Fallout Boy. I'll be the first to admit that I've never been a fan of their music, mainly because pop-rock just isn't my thing. But seriously, there's no need for all of the WOOHOO's and 'thank god's. I mean come on guys, they were not THAT terrible. Some songs, youre right, are annoying as shit. But i really don't think you can call yourself a music lover if you celebrate the death of a band.
Sure, I dont like their music, but in no way am i overjoyed that theyre breaking up. These guys appeal to middle-school aged kids. They're like the next age group up from the Jonas Brothers. And while i really don't enjoy their music, at the same time, i feel like if they weren't around, all the kids would be listening to shitty hip hop and pop music. I really like the fact that bands like this are actually getting young kids into rock music (even if its not 'good' rock)

so, no i am not glad they broke up. And i really think you guys should reconsider your motives here. That's just more songs that will never be written, and that's an ugly thing.

no i wasn't offended by that, i wasn't offended at all, i dont get easily offended, i just thought it was kind of ironic that in the first half it appeared as though you were fighting against music elitism, and then in the second half you bashed two entire genres of music.

what i meant by "shitty hip hop and pop music" was not that hip hop and pop are shitty. I can appreciate all forms of music. i meant "shitty" as, inappropriate for that age. I work at a day care and it seems strange sometimes to hear the kids sing about some of the explicit stuff thats in some of those songs. i meant that i like that theyre getting into rock music at a young age, because growing up i was exposed to bands like the beatles, not lil wayne.

Define what you mean by punk. Most metalheads and punks get along, unless you're talking about greenday and emo bollocks. FOB were far from punk during their popularity. And most of their fans who like metal like metalcore, which most metalheads consider trendy bullshit.

Anyway, I hope this means he's quitting music because he's one main reason people can't stand them. They slap his face on things and 13 year old girls cream their pants before hearing a single second of any songs. The side project the guitarist and drummer are doing sounds like it has potential.

More space for Paramore, Blink-182, etc...

Everyone stop bitching. Fall out boy's new stuff was horrible and a poor attempt at trend setting and their old stuff was fantastic pop punk with decent punk guitar riffs and decent feel good catchy choruses. Despite some of their bloated egos and shortcomings, they were not a poor band but they were not a band for the ages. This was not the death of the Beatles or Led Zeppelin, people will move on.

Pete Wentz contributed more while hanging upside down at shows than he ever did playing his bass guitar. And trying to be the next Morrissey doesn't mean your lyrics are clever. Not to piss off all of the Fall Out Boy fans out there but people grow out of bands like Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Good Charlotte etc. Its inevitable. You can add Fall Out Boy to the list of things that were almost cool growing up, but were shortly after forgotten. Just like the board game 'Crossfire', Star Wars: Episode I, Sega Saturn and the WWF wrestler the Ultimate Warrior.

[asator]

Comments on articles like this are what makes me hate UG...

Seriously guys, wisen up. If you ever actually listened to this band (especially the older stuff like TTTYG and FUTCT) you'd see that they're a perfectly solid pop punk band that's started experimenting with pop, electronica and other genres in recent years...I personally respect them for that, and if you don't that's fine, but stop acting like they're the Jonas Brothers or something.

Well, Fall Out Boy, thanks for the memories.
Even though they weren't so great! :P

[scarfacesuit]

To all the idiots saying Fall Out Boy sucks and idiots saying they're not bad, please read this:

Let's be honest... Fall Out Boy's most recent music has been aimed at a teen girl audience. You can't deny this, because if you listen to their lyrics, you'll realize that no man would care about any of that stuff.

That said, since I'm not a teen girl, I feel I have the right to not like them.

Nevertheless, to people who hate on them all the time, what the hell do you expect? It's clear that their music isn't aimed for you at all, so get over it. I see more flaming for this band than any other band I know of... and I know of some pretty shitty bands that are famous.

To conclude, all who argue about liking or disliking FOB are idiots.

And answer this, whens the last time you've seen MULTIPLE legit rock bands within the top 20, let alone top 40? I think the ONLY rock song that hit the top 5 last year was "Use Somebody" and that's it. Believe it or not, Fall Out Boy was kind of a mainstay in the top 40 with most of their singles.

i will not be judged by someone who listens to fall out boy, and im sure no one else will either. im sure most of these people read this page just because it said fall out boy broke up. thats why i did. everyone needs something good to brighten their day, and this is it.

[IROn 5L1nKY]

Yes, exactly, I looked at how many people have commented on this news compared to a bunch of other recent items (including a Radiohead post, and they're pretty popular) and Fall Out Boy more than quadruples most of them.
I for one am partial to the band, I like their lyrics, and their energy. They'e written a lot of hits and a lot of hidden goodies and Patrick is an amazing vocalist (you know what? writing a hit doesn't make you a bad musician if it's a hit because it's good music... which actually DOES happen sometimes, surprisingly)

i will not be judged by someone who listens to fall out boy, and im sure no one else will either. im sure most of these people read this page just because it said fall out boy broke up. thats why i did. everyone needs something good to brighten their day, and this is it.

Lmao, that's the funniest thing I've ever read. Get off your high horse.

I don't get why a lot of people hate them. Is it because they have a different taste in making music? Theres nothing wrong with their music. You're probably just used to listening to other music than theirs. I love Fall Out Boy. One of my favorite bands. I love their songs. It's something different. And there's nothing wrong with being different. And everyone has a different taste in music. So people might not like their songs and some might like their songs.

Ok, well. Firstly, most of the people who are so happy about this won't have listened to Fall Out Boy's music, so how could you judge them? (Kinda like all the people judging Twilight, although I haven't seen it). But they're probably not your style of music anyway. On a broader topic, though, they still use real guitars, don't they? They still use real drumkits, don't they? They still write their own lyrics, don't they?
Whoever it was that said "Hopefully we'll have some quality top 40 music now," or something, needs to burst out of their era of music that they are seemingly entrapped in. Our population is being dominated by meaningless irritation (also known as the majority of the mainstream), where people buy lyrics, and have the music manufactured for them out of a computer. Bands like Fall Out Boy were some of the few that kept "real" music popular with a new generation, (like myself, for example), and, although they might not be as blazingly impressive as Vai or Hammett, they actually were capable of playing an instrument, and recreating their songs live.
Sorry if that seemed off topic, but it was a message I've been waiting to send for some time, and it does not just occur with Fall Out Boy. I did not mean to offend anyone, and sorry if I did.
P.S. Props for the "Zelda Chest Opening" quote, even if I don't really agree with it.

i never liked people who try to go high and mighty, but I hate know-it-alls a lot more and kudos to the people who say they hate fall out boy even if I love them because it shows that they can say what they mean
and to those who are trying to defend fall out boy please stop, it wont make a f***ing difference to the people who hate the band. They hate we love thats not an issue so let them be

This is so wrong, after hearing Alpha Dog and From Now On We're Enemies I felt like they were gonna start making more music like before. I think that if they kept going now it would be so amazing. I mean Fall Out Boy is personally my reason for knowing some of my other music and making my own. I just hope they get back together soon. I mean they can make really great music after their last two songs.

Best comment ever.

[shellbell]

when i heard fall out boy were or might be splitting i didn't understand. i love the band and don't see why they should. pete wntz wants out but im sure they could find sum1 new even though i will miss pete. patrick is talented and i love him, and think he could go on with the band along with joe and andy.

[=w=eeze]

I absolutely adored this band, but it was time for them to split. Their two last albums were not good.

Though I am not an avid listener of Fall Out Boy, I am amazed at the general negativity that has been directed towards them. Who are we to judge their music? I got into music because of its ability to transcend boundries. It's sad to see that music is being used to make barriers instead of breaking them.
