Pete Wentz: 'I Tried To Kill Myself'

Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz has revealed that he tried to commit suicide couple of years ago.

In an attempt to take his own life Wentz took an excessive amount of prescription anti-depression drug Ativan.

Speaking to MTV News the bassist said: "I got in my car. I remember I was listening to Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah’ and sat there and took a bunch of Ativan in a Best Buy parking lot.

"I called up my manager because I was, at that point, completely out of my head with Ativan. And I was talking to him and I was slurring my words, so he called my mom and my mom called me and she came and got me and we went to the hospital."

Wentz has since signed up to the Half Of Us suicide prevention campaign organised by the Jed Foundation, alongside the likes of Mary J Blige and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan.

well i suppose he has to keep to the EMO code

[Kaadsj]

this story is so old.

[Nightwatchman10]

i can sympathise with him.

[FaceTomorrow]

Kaadsj :
this story is so old.

Exactly

[Jeffray85]

yeah i agree so what if you don't like his music or don't like him, your a sick jerk to make jokes at it, even if he is only doing it for attention, so what, it's sick to rejoice at the thought of anyone killing themselves.

[Slaytanic1986]

Oh deary me. How sad...

oh and this guy is rich, has a famous band, and a freakin lot of girls want him.. what more could you ask for? god this guy sucks.

Owen Wilson. Kurt Cobain. Richard Pryor. Richard Jeni. These people have all committed suicide and or tried to commit suicide. The simple fact that you have money, respect, your in a famous band, and you have girls all over you. It doesn't mean you're happy. All of that comes with responsibility you obviously aren't calling into account

[KillEmAll]

There's no proof Cobain killed himself!

[Biohazard]

All of that comes with responsibility you obviously aren't calling into account

that is very true. having to be in the spot light and having to keep impressing people after your as big a legend as richard pryor can put a tremendous amount of pressure on someone. i can understand that it's a tough lifestyle but at some point, even celebrities have to grow up.

and fall out boy's new album (infinity on high that is) is actually pretty impressive considering they are an emo band. i must say that they should get a better "mascot" than pete wentz. he isn't a good bass player at all and i'm pretty sure he's all about the image. terrible person to have in a band.

[GoodCharlotte92]

everyone already knew this. he wrote a song about it on cork tree and infinity

Very true. I don't think people would have that much
of a problem with Fall Out Boy if it wasn't for Wentz. They've got some cool songs. Don't get me wrong... I'm not a fanboy or anything. I just think that it really shows you where society is at / heading when people are basing whether or not Wentz should live or die on his music.

This isn't about Wentz's music. It's about, like I said, the guy coming out strong from a bad spot in his life.

if you use suicide to get attention, you deserve to die. if you kill yourself, you will be considered a weak-minded individual that would have never been able to take on life.

You obviously don't know much about suicide. You don't kill yourself for the sole reason to get attention. Because if you're dead... there's no point in you having the attention. You won't be able to enjoy it, you're dead. But I understand what you're saying. As far as Wentz using it for attention. I don't like the guy. But I'm pretty sure he's not trying to call attention to himself, rather, he's trying to bring attention to the fact that there is a way out.

I'm well aware I said "attention" way too much.

for the first person, i totally agree with wat ur saying. life is good for him, but since no ones heard anything from them for a little bit, he tells us about this again. ive had friends that tried to kill themselves before, one seeceded. i have no sympathy for these people, or any other person who tries to kill themselves. for the second person, i see wat ur saying. however, i dont care what kind of pressure u have by "trying to please people" or w/e. if ur in it for the music, you shouldnt care too much about wat people think (or at least not enough to kill urslef) as long as u like it. try, im not a falloutboy fan, but im not gonna say things like "damn, why didnt he finish the job" their new album was decnt (tolerable) but ive lost all respect i had for these guys becuase of this (if no one can tell, i have strong feelings for sucide and cutting and things of that sorts)
now that my rant is over...ill check this again to see how many of u say shit, and ill laugh at u

[HH_Emo_666]

this is exactly just a publicity stunt.

[R_U_READY?]

this is a person you cant just wish him dead cos he makes god awful music. think about it he probably tried to commit suicide cos hes so ashamed of how low he had to stoop to make money an be popular

[recliner33]

Ok, I'm not a fan of fall out boy, I despise their music but that doesn't mean I would wish for harm on them. However, Pete Wentz is an idiot for bringing this up and talking about it considering how he already fell under the emo stereotype and how so many people despise him. So if he gets bashed alot for this then it's his falut for mentioning this. But, maybe he said this to bring awareness for suicide and to let people know that they are not alone, who knows. Maybe he was trying to make good of the situation. It's a double sword.

[Dallen_007]

Wow, glad he didn't do that. I'm not a particularly big fan of Wentz, but I know the effects of suicide on a family quite well, and it's a terrible feeling knowing someone you loved died by their own hands. Way to get help Pete.

[korinaflyingv]

this is the wrong place to report it...
still, lol.

[Teh Parawhorree]

Btw isnt this old
Cause did'nt he say this when there esecond album came out
As there was a song about it right ?

He deserves to live.
And to the people complaining about emo being pathetic and a plague to earth, grow up.
Music is music, old people compare bands of their years like The Beatles to Cannible Corpse, they think the latter are poor.

Actually, not exactly the same thing, but similar. I was going to say how this should not be publicised so widely. I do not wish suicide on anybody, but the world doesn't need to hear about it.

[rhcp_freak]

Urm, I don't remember ever wanting to kill myself after listening to Mr. Buckley.

I guess listening to good music forces you to do crazy things, leading to publicity stunts, no?

[Kenny_NJ]

oh, and like somebody previously mentioned, i guess UG should stop posting this kind of news. it's utterly irrelevant to music.

[Mojo89]

the world is a dark place pussies, people hate people enough for them to die. deal with it or commit suicide it's only human nature.

[JoeFro]

Just us more proof that emos committing suicide isnt a steriotype

[Shread_6009]

geez, he grew up in a wealthy family, his band is (undeservingly) selling platinum, there are no world wars, hes getting all the groupies he wants, hes on international news/websites. his life is perfect.

if he hates life so much, ill gladly trade him what i got for hes career (though id definatley change fallout boy, or just make it break up.)

Suicide is something emo people use for attention, whether or not that is its only use, I can't say. But people who commit/try to commit/contemplate suicide do lose respect from me unless they have a disorder of some kind.

Besides the point here is that he is likely making this up for attention. If you think suicide is justifiable then you seem to be the immature one.

[prunaman]

wow
i can respect people's opinions about Fall Out Boy's music or whatnot, but i think its rather disgusting when i see comments like "go right on ahead noone will miss you". that quite frankly is disrespectful and just downright pathetic.

It's sad when a PERSON tries to kill themselves.I would have giggled like a school girl if he had actually died. But then i would have to find someone else to hate.

i cant believe the amount of people who make out like they want someone to DIE (as in, cease to be) just because they dont like their music or maybe their perceived personality.

don't get me wrong, i'm not a fall out boy or a pete wentz fan, and part of me felt cynical about this when i read it. but seriously. some of you kids annoy me more than he ever will.

[MegaRon]

Jeez, trying to kill yourself to "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. There's something new. I think it's pretty easy to say people get depressed, regardless of their bank account, sex life, and fame. It's shit, but emotions are powerful things. For someone to want to off themselves is just selfish, especially when his band was already at its zenith a couple of years ago. As Shread said, there are probably a lot of people that would trade a lot to have his lifestyle right now. Though he probably got to thinking that in ten years, he'll be in a gutter somewhere, and that thought is a downer. Well, for him, anyways. I could care less about his band and his music. Hooray for being a musical elitist.

too bad he failed

[Scitzo Frenic]

You're among the saddest life forms on the planet. Whether you like his music or not, the guy was in a bad place and now he's out. So instead of being happy that we didn't lose yet another musician to suicide, it's a damn shame he didn't kill himself?

Haha, that's funny. You called him a musician.

[AdamOnDrums]

Suicide is no laughing matter. But I think this is stupid because hes just trying to get attention.. Plus its and old story... But as I say: "Hey Eme, go kill yourself!"

[RageAgnstUrJaw]

i won't say that i wish he would have succeeded just because i don't like his bands music...it's a shame that he felt he had to do that to himself....BUT, i think he could very easily keep something like that to himself, and the fact that he is speaking about that in an article just sounds like he's seeking attention and a pity party.

i mean come on.

[AdamOnDrums]

Emo*

[Bottle of Dirt]

Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that his mommy came and got him?
Heh, he was depressed and tried to kill himself with anti-depressants...

[punk_mike_88]

Wow guys, as much as I hate Fall Out Boy and Pete Wentz, wishing someone would die isn't even funny. Yea he makes shitty pop music, but he's still a human being. Give him at least a little decency.

[kosarsosar]

nobody likes a quitter pete. i love his song "name drop". what an *******.

[timi_hendrix]

He probably took two pills, had a lick of a cider lolly and rang his friend to inform him of how wasted he was. His mummy came to tell him what a naughty boy he was.

[Centurion]

Plenty of people manage to keep their own personal horrors out of the limelight, and most want to. Given the mans reputation this comes across as an advertisement and a way of keeping his name in the news. Suicide is bad news and there's enough that in the world without another pretentious wanker making his private life public.

[[[It's Alex]]]

Psh. I knew that already.

quite true, its almost sad to see someone so desprate for attention that they have to reveal the dark parts of their life.

Really.

[deadspoken]

Not, gonna lie, I hate fall out boy with the power of a thousand suns. And guess what. No one, not even Pete Wentz, is stupid enough to try an kill themselves by ODing on f-ing anti-depressants. But it did get him the attention he wanted, so i guess it worked out for him in the end anyways, right?

[goodguyclub]

I can't say that it ever makes me happy when anyone dies, even a scumbag, coward terrorist. That aside: statistics show that male americans in the demographic of PW who "attempt" suicide don't do it with pills. They use sharp objects or fire arms. Pills are more prevelant with females who attempt suicide. Many "rock stars" that have OD'd/committed suicide via medication have been ruled accidental. I guess it's all good though if he can prevent others from taking the same course of action. BTW there is no band I dislike more than FOB, which has zero to do with my opinion of the topic. In case you need some credibility, I have taught a suicide prevention class.

[recliner33]

What was Pete Wentz doing at a Best Buy anyways? Was he there to see if any of his albums were still in stock?

Owen Wilson. Kurt Cobain. Richard Pryor. Richard Jeni. These people have all committed suicide and or tried to commit suicide.

yep, the thing however about commiting suicide or at least trying to is just a lame excuse for not trying hard enough. I hate that kind of attitude if you're unhappy go do something about it, and stop crying your way through and go for the easy way out - pussy(i mean the guy that couldn't even commit suicide, you fail).

[Mr. spikyhair]

if you think about it, suicide is really serious, but most of the time the person does it for some form of attention, needed or not. wentz makes shitty music we all know that but cause hes rich as hell doesnt mean he cant be depressed. he couldve kept it to himself, telling everyone is the publicity stunt. its sad when someone takes thier own life no matter who it is, even if i hate the pussy. pills? wtf? idk it is serious but if he did this as a stunt FUCK HIM he needs to realize how serious it is

[Mr. spikyhair]

and if he had the money, he could have tried to make himself happier to touch on the points of some other people

It really is different. All you tools saying that it's "the easy way out" need to take a step back and look at how many times they've taken an easy way out of a situation. It may not have been suicide (obviously, or else you wouldn't be here), but it's damn well the same principle.

Owen Wilson attempted to commit suicide but failed. But you probably loved Wedding Crashers and felt really sorry for him. But because this band made a video where the singer has deer horns,you wish he would rot in hell.

Yea, makes perfect sense

im not a huge fall out boy fan but i can respect thier music
anybody who says its what "emo" people use to get attention is stupid themselves imo
people try to commit suicide because they feel like everythings going wrong in thier life or they are depressed
nearly all the time not to get attention
i agree with the person who said about what are society is coming to wether or not people should live or die because of thier music.
first it was i hate you because your black
now its i hate you becasue you like fall out boy
just my two cents however long it isss

[I_CaughtFire]

Am i the only one who cares as i like him?

glad he didnt, i like his music, your all just jealous of him as he's got what you havent.
im pretty sure if you could have worldwide fame and money and girls you'd be in an 'emo' band.

Thats the price of fame and staying in the spotlight. Fame can be addicting. Always have to stay as the center of attention. Glad he didn't die though. I hate his music but I also hate when people try to get out of life the easy way.

First off, UG's news team is really starting to piss me off with this. This is obviously just posted to start fights, as they do every week or so.

Second off, for you people talking about how he had to do it because he's emo and to be cool. Clearly you didn't read the article and see that he's in a suicide prevention campaign. Tons of bands that people consider emo rant against suicide, but everyone just HAS to be a stereotyping prick.

[Gsh]

I love how ultimate-guitar.com puts these "news" articles up knowing fully well that an onslaught of immature comments is sure to follow. Then the moderators come and feed their self-importance by admonishing the miscreants.
It's like placing a rattle in a baby's crib and then scolding the little guy when we picks it up and shakes it.
But it's all quite brilliant really. I'll be back tomorrow to see what absurd story is on the front page. I might even learn a song or two. Either way I'm sure to be entertained. Thanks Ultimate-Guitar.com.

not really news, plus its the fad today among celebrities

'tis a shame it didnt work

[shyalicia]

why is this posted now?

[dnamra13]

he just wants some attention for his band so they can sell even more to depressed emo's who think they are cool by being hyper active one moment and the other moment want to commit suicide. most people who are in that state of mind won't talk about it, but you will hear some weird day that they have jump of a huge building.

Why would UG want people to stop coming here? As long as people visit the site, the site is a success. What people do once they get here is irrelevant.

Are you all idiots? None of this is for attention. If you learn to read, this article says how he signed up to the Half of Us suicide prevention campaign, alongside the likes of Mary J Blige and Billy Corgan.

Hitler was also a human being. Did he deserve to live?

seriously im sure pete wentz isnt an evil meglomaniac

I beg to differ, but that's beside the point. The eprson I quoted argued that as a human being, he deserved to live. Hitler was also a human being. Therefor, by that person's logic, Hitler had every right to live as well. I'm arguing against his ideology, not differing levels of evil. =P

I think ativan is an anti-anxiety drug, not depression.

man I ate like 40 of the damn things and it just make you feel like youre in a cartoon. well I guess I did feel that breathing wasnt a needed activity either. but really, ativan might be a good drug to take alot of if you planned on having some other way to kill yourself afterwards.

When you put it that way, it's perfect logic. xD I wasn't actually trying to fight with you by the way, I was just playing.

Really UG, is this news worthy? SO what, it was a couple of years ago. I'm sure that plenty of artists have attempted suicide in their life so does this mean that we need to post all of those news articles?
I'm not tryin to rip on the staff, but i'm sure there are things that are much more newsworthy.

[whitestrat279]

wow you people are sad, 74 comments removed. you dont have to like his music, but dont wish he was dead. all the people who say "oh his mommy had to get him" hes lucky someone would help him. if you were contemplating suicide, wouldnt yo think yourmom would intervene and try to help you? i think so. whos gonna help him, some random person?

[stueey]

it might be old, but i find it interesting, petes had alot goin for him at that point. Its funny they are acused of being emo, yet there music doesn't sound depressing at all? FOB always put a smile on my face tbh. Patrick Stump FTW!

If their singer would learn to sing they wouldn't be a bad band, their guitar riffs aren't that bad it's just that their singer sounds like he's hiccuping every other word to me. Not my kind of music, but i'm not going to say they are completely worthless, just their singer, lol.

[Dragon Master]

Fall Out Boy is awful. Emo music is awful. Pure bull. All of it. First of all, emo is traitorous to pure rock. Nirvana tried to be original and with this, a wave of rock and roll came along that will not be soon forgotten. While I love hair metal, it became repetitive. Honestly, emo has to die. We're looking at alternative music... Real alternative music... The White Stripes, Kasabian, Jet, and other bands like that. Those are real rock bands. Not boy bands that teenage girls will scream after. REAL ROCK. Emo is corporate boy band garbage. Green Day isn't punk rock. First of all, punk rock wasn't so corporate.

[Dragon Master]

I don't hate anybody, but I hate this music. I mean, it's awful, how he's trying to make himself somebody. He's a little pansy boy. All of these "pop" stars are pretentious and if nobody's listening to them, why do people keep pushing them? Let's all shake them off of us and keep them out of Hollywood! WHO GIVES A CARE?!!!

Suicide is something emo people use for attention, whether or not that is its only use, I can't say. But people who commit/try to commit/contemplate suicide do lose respect from me unless they have a disorder of some kind.

Besides the point here is that he is likely making this up for attention. If you think suicide is justifiable then you seem to be the immature one.

I never said it was justifiable, but way to try and twist my words. The point I was trying to make was that it's despicable to say anyone deserves to die, especially based on the music they make.

sorry i just dont think hes as good as hes made out to be. Its truly sad to see that this is the direction that our youth are heading. Wentz should never have even said anything as far as im concerned because his fanbase is huge compared to most of todays bands. All he has done is glamourized his attempt to kill himself to sell some more records and its really pathetic.

I dunno thats just my opinion

[macmancometh]

I dislike FOB, but I'm glad he didn't succeed in killing himself. I guess I'm just sympathetic like that.

Checked.

[5250]

It always trips me out when people "try" to kill themselves. Are they doing it wrong? I'm sure it's not that hard to succeed if you really want to.... of course most people are just fakin' it for the sympathy!

[Circus]

There's no such thing as "attempted" suicide. One of my friends killed himself. Shotgun to the face. He was serious, he wasn't ****ing about, it wasn't a cry for help, he wanted to die so he shot himself. If you want to die, you ****ing do it, you don't pussy around with anti depressants, you grab a gun and you shoot yourself or you take enough sedative to drop a herd of elephants or you slash your wrists (properly, you bleed to death in two minutes).

You don't "attempt suicide," "suicide attempts" are just a cry for help that the person doing them desperately wants to succeed and have someone come and help them, rather than actually wanting to die.

And when people say that people who kill themselves are weak, then they clearly don't know anybody who has had clinical depression, or who has actually killed themselves. Well, forgive me for sounding self righteous, but I do and anybody who says suiciders are weak is badmouthing my friend's memory and that's a personal insult.

Maybe that got a bit out of hand, but this just aggravates me so much. Pete Wentz had a cry for help two years ago, fair enough if he was a bit down, and it worked. Someone came to him and stopped him going all the way and committing suicide next time. But bringing it up now is just plain attention seeking - nobody cares anymore. And the people here attacking real suiciders as weak deserve the death that one of my friends chose to inflict upon himself.

[cody733]

I don't like Fall Out Boy, I couldn't care less about Pete Wentz, but that doesn't matter. You people are ridiculous for saying anything negative towards him.

You don't know him, you have no right to judge him. Keep your mouth shut.

[TheSoupDragon]

He's not trying to kill himself for attention, that's the dumbest logic I've ever heard.
He does suffer from depression, but because you think he's gay, he's not allowed to discuss it.
Grow up. And seriously, ripping on someone about asttempted suicide is reeeeaal low.

The reason he's in the media all the time is because if he says one thing inan interview, it's then published everywhere. Often with his words being twisted.

Oh,and for the record, FOB really are not 'emo'. Yeah, Pete may dress 'like an emo' but so what? Plenty of metal bands wear loads of makeup. The bassist from Manic Street Preachers does as well. Plenty of metal bands, and indeed none metal bands wear tight trousers. Again, grow up.

I don't think putting this up as news serves any purpose! Stop courting controversy and put some real news up!

Seeing as this is a cry for attention it should be ignored, just like Fall Out Boys discography!

This is bullshit, enough is enough, he's probably trying to get some attention cause his album and ticket sales are going down.

another thing, real depressed people don't brag about trying to kill themselves. they usually keep it bottled up unless they're talking about it in a support group, or with friends trying to get them the aid they need. and plus, he wouldn't really be calling like 5 people after trying to die.

it's all hype, hes trying to act like he's seriously depressed so all these "emo" posers that pretend to slash themselves because suddenly suicide is popular( which is really horrible, why must we glamorize self-termination? society is really collapsing) just to make a few dollars so he won't have to get a real job after his band breaks up 2 years from now, and he learns the record company owns 98.7 % of his assets.

I can't help but mention that Ativan is a benzodiazepine for anziety, not an antidepressant. Also, unless he took like 50, drank 6 beers, and popped some opiates, his ass would have woken in that car 14 hours later feeling very chill.
I don't like Fall Out Boy, but I wouldn't hold something like this against anybody - especially someone who completed treatment. I used to be deep into drugs myself. A few weeks before I went to rehab a bit less than a year ago I ran away from home, got my 90 Klonopin (clonazepam) refilled, booked a hotel room for 7 days...that night I even picked up a load of pot and some Vicodin. 3 days later my parents busted in the room and found that I took 82 of the 90 pills in 3 days. The other drugs were gone. I went home, slept for a day and half, and woke up to realize the only thing I remembered from that week was my parents walking into my trashed hotel room. According to the friends I hung out with during those few days, I went to Summerfest multiple times (saw the Femmes which I would have liked to remember), went to the movies, drove a friend an hour to the airport, and had a mini party in my room... For a while I thought my friends were ****ing with me but my phone had some undeniable evidence. Withdrawl symptoms were nearly nonexistent. Then came rehab...
Sorry for rambling, but with all due respect Wentz, that shouldn't have been an article, let alone on the home page. Many people have gone through that and a hell of a lot worse.

[Ekoroski]

Emos are attention *****s. Theres only a few people that cut themselves that are actually excusable (its a hereditary psychological disorder).

Honestly, every emo I know brags about cutting themself, as if it were something they're proud of. I wouldn't say Pete needs to kill himself, but I definitely wouldn't mind if he did. And I know that emo music doesn't nessecarily mean that the band is emo, but FOB is awful.

You might want to check your facts before you post something to make yourself look like an idiot. self mutilation is not a hereditary disorder, its a disorder caused by large amounts of trauma in early childhood usually associating pain with good things, several of my friends and family members have issues with this so how about next time before you open your mouth check whats coming out of it.

on another note
I enjoy fall out boy's music they are honestly one of my favorite bands. i dont like pete, especially in concert he wants so badly to be the main focal point of the band and he shouldn't be. but i'm glad that pete lived through this experience because who knows where things would've ended up.

this is so ****ing old anyway. but the song that he wrote about his suicide attempt, "7 minutes in Heaven" kicks ass. i do not really like FoB in general, but that one is really good. True they suck in general though.
For those people who claim that people trying to commit suicide are pussies, you are saying that just because its pete wentz, the emo leader. Think of many other 'apparently happy' people who tried to kill themselves.

Don't be so pathetic.

And to the people complaining about emo being pathetic and a plague to earth, grow up.
Music is music, old people compare bands of their years like The Beatles to Cannible Corpse, they think the latter are poor.
Just really, get a life.

what you are saying would be fair if he had tragically died in an accident. personally i hate suicide and i have no respect for people who take the low road. what you are saying is to the people who say "damn he failed" is that he's a human being and deserves life. lets not forget it was him who tried to take his own life. if this was a vitek/dimebag/rhoads thread id agree +1000, but they didnt want to die

he should do what britney spears did on south park lol

[Butler_41]

how anyone can laugh or joke about this is discraceful!
i don't like fall out boy a whole lot & i'm not a pete fan, but know one goes & does that sort of thing if there is "nothing wrong" with them. So what if he is famous, Kurt Cobain was & look how it got to him.
thousands of people are depressed & alot of those people take their lives, imagine if that was one of your friends or a family memeber, would u laugh at them & call them emos? if u would then your the one thats F***ed UP!!!!

[GNR's Fan]

Poor Jeff Buckley being hauled into this, it's a damn shame.

And as far as pete wentz goes, why tell the world this ? Simply for more attention ? I mean it's not like he gave us a anti suicide speech trying to help some kids.

[inferi596]

i'm not gonna deny that that happened but i must say, it seems more like an attempt to bring Fall Out Boy's name back to people's attention. i love their music, it's just...you can only get so full of yourself.

[Gregoric]

how can all these people here claim they know anything about suicide if they've never been in that position? I've never been super seriously suicidal and that's why I'm not posting comments which make me look like a prick.

I'm pretty sure Pete Wentz does actually have medical depresison which is a chemical imbalance in the brain and it doesn't change according to any circumstances so it'll still make you feel shit no matter how much moeny moeny or girls u have or how many records you've sold.

Also if he was trying to glorify suicide then he wouldn't have joined that half of us thing. The interviewer probably asked him about it and he answered the interviewer's question.....what's the problem?

That's the best response so far!Has anyone else heard they've based their album ideas on Oasis way of knocking everything up to ten and putting an acoustic over the top of it? Ridiculous, surely having one of the best song writers or modern times (Noel Gallagher) might have something to do with it sounding great?

I'm a bog Niravan fan but i don't deny the fact that kurt injected enough heroin to kill a horse into himself and then blew his brains out.
I can accept that he would want to, he had become something he hated.
and if you think Courtney did it you should probably go copy Kurt.

theres forensic data that proves it too.
so many people think assumptions lead to conspiracies.
they don't look at the scientific side of things.

anyway,
im pretty sure everyone here aknowledges that this guy was seeking attention.
why else would he have brought up such a personal issue.

OK. You just lowered the average IQ of Ultimate Guitar members by about 100.

Bah, and here was me thinking Emo had disappeared.

I'm pretty indifferent to Fall Out Boy, I don't listen to them, but I'm sure they have their fans. however I do wish that Mr Wentz hadn't brought this up, it just stirs up arguments with people and generally makes a mountain out of a molehill.

Anyone else but me interested in his motives?

and I did find "Since everyone wants to kill him he just jumped on the bandwagon to look cool." extremely amusing.

pete wentz went through life with no problems, took ati-anxiety pills, ATTEMPTSTo kill himself, and though whole world forgets about the world to pay attetion to him.

i don't want him to die, thats just sick, but still, he went through nothing, he wasn't even depressed. stop paying attetion to him.

Owen Wilson. Kurt Cobain. Richard Pryor. Richard Jeni. These people have all committed suicide and or tried to commit suicide. The simple fact that you have money, respect, your in a famous band, and you have girls all over you. It doesn't mean you're happy. All of that comes with responsibility you obviously aren't calling into account

excuse me kurt had made the option to kill himself. he had a good enough reason. pete wentz. if he would've died no one would've cared for long. he hasn't changed music like kurt. kurt has done and always will have done more than pete wentz or anyone else in fall out fag has done.

plus pete had a pretty damn happy life. wasn't a druggie or anything. so i don't wanna hear the whole shit about, "oh he had reasons" yeah like what? his girlfriend broke up with him? unless he had a pretty damn good reason to kill himself this whole article is pointless. he just wants attention.

pete wentz isn't a big deal. he's just another guy for teen girls to get wet over.

It doens't work like that. When you have faced real depression, and I don't mean just being a little low, everyone goes through that sometimes. I mean a genuine lack of a desire to live and to do anything, it often has no relation to how your life is or what you have going for yourself. Whether he was doing it for attention or not is not for you or anyone to judge, but I can totally understand why having everything, doesn't mean ****ing shit is this life. Your either happy no matter what goes on, or your only concern is ending the pathetic existence that we have.

[mitch311]

Man UG is screwed up. They post these stories for their own amusement reading the comments

[AngryGoldfish]

Oh and one more thing, if you have been given Ativan(which doctors don't give out to the first person that has had a bad day)and you sign yourself up to a suicide recovery service, its obvious it means a lot to you. Part of REAL depression is a yearning to end it in any way possible and if suicide didn't work then the next best thing is help from outside sources. He should see a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist(a special shrink).

I'm completely pro-life and I have deep sympathy for people who have terrible lives and try to commit suicide as a way to escape out of their personal hell. However..the mans life..wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not saying I knew the guy, I'm not saying I know this for a fact, but with the oodles of money, women, and fame..where exactly did he have credence to kill himself?

Now for all of you people who are about to say something like "depression can hit everyone, regardless of social status!!" etc etc..alright, fine, maybe you're right, I'll give you this one.. but the fact that he made 2 songs about his suicide, mentioned it in previous interviews and now he's bringing it up again just makes me wonder if he truly is depressed or if he just wants even more attention than he already has.

I love "Take This To Your Grave", but I'm not a big fan of their new stuff. Love that 2nd album though.

As for Pete, he isn't the most perfect role-model, but ti seems to be he's just a average guy in a band. Obviously he had problems and he may be whorng them somewhat, but I don't think that should have an impact on people's feelings towards the music.

[restless_thrash]

Suicide is not the only option. As a grown, sucessfull man, he could easily do something else with his life (ie, sabbatical, fishing trip, etc...). He has no reason to commit suicide. If he can't take what people say about his music, he shouldn't be a musician. If he needs attention, promote yourself. If he just wants publicity, Fuck 'em. People who feel trapped and see no way out commit suicide. its not right, but Pete has no reason. He is selfish.

[axe_man]

does this really shock anyone?

[StupidHuman]

I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression about 3 1/2 years ago, after my wife cheated on me with my oldest friend. I never attempted suicide, but I have contemplated it. Thankfully, my two boys give me an undeniable reason to exist. But you don't try to kill yourself. Your either going to kill yourself, or you want attention. I know alot of people who "TRIED" to kill themselves, and I've told them in plain English, "You disgust me." People who try to kill themselves by taking pills, or cutting thier wrists across the vein, not along it, are simple *****s for attention. Like Pete Wentz. Trust me, if you really want to kill yourself, it's not something that just pops into your head one day and then you go and eat some anti-depressants. You plan it out. I had mine planned out in a way that if my initial attempt did not succeed, I would die of my wounds before I could be found. "Oh, I ate some Ativan, and then I called my manager, and then mummy came and saved me." This tool never had any plan on dying. He just wanted some attention, just like the people I know who tried to do the same. "Oh, I ate 20 Tylenol to end my life." No, if your set on suicide, you WILL succeed. This guy makes me sick, and so does his music. You want REAL music these days, listen to Opeth. And don't TRY to kill yourself, Succeed at it. *waits for snide remarks from comment viewers*

[TheSoupDragon]

He'd have taken Atavan because that's what he'd have had with him.
He does suffer from depression and anxiety, so maybe he had a load of them in his car? Hm?

If he feels comfortable talking about, why shouldn't he? And he signed up that Half Of Us program, so he's hardly promoting it or whatever you want to describe his actions as.
You only say it's attention seeking because lots of people then talk about everything he's said. Not his problem. Replace Pete Wentz with Kirk Hammet. How many people would say
"Omg, what a pussy. Can't even kill himself. I have no respect for him" Oh, that's right, none.

Fair enough on your point, you will have much more experience on this matter than most other people. However you are not everyone. You cannot know how everyone or anyone else thinks, or even know their circumstances. This is not a snide comment, it is mearly an observation, do not presume that you could know the first thing about people you've never met.

[Ludynosa]

Im not a fan of FoB or Pete Wentz, but i feel for him, i dont care what anyone says. i doubt any of you haters know him personally, so you dont have the right to say that he should have succeeded. morons

[StupidHuman]

Well, it would appear my initial comment did not suit the tastes of the moderators, so I'll just say this: If one is truly intent on suicide, they will not falter nor fail. Everyone else is just looking for attention. In no way do I feel that people who commit suicide are weak-minded. It takes ENORMOUS testicular fortitute to come to the decision to end your own life, as it is in stark contrast to our main purpose for existing, the passing-on of our genetic material. But suicide will not end problems, it will only create new ones for those left in the wake. Suicidalists are not weak-minded, they are simply the ultimate example of selfishness. I am LIVING proof.

check ..

[g_tab_man]

i'm not that big of a fan of fall out boy. and pete wentz isn't that great. But its not cool that he tried to commit suicide. Its not funny. Its just sad. And like ludynosa said, you dont know him personally then just keep your mouths shut.

You have an a very clear and poignant point! I don't want to go into what happened in my life, but I know what its like to have no idea why you feel so bad and why your life doens't seem to be all that bad but you hate it and want it to end. I do disagree with what you are saying about suicide though. Some people do just suddenly feel the despearte urge, it comes out of nowhere for some reason and you throw themselves into traffic or bang your head of the wall. Not so much as a suicide attempt, but more just some form of escape. You become desperate. I have a family that gives me a reason to stay alive, because suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness. When you have a family, your body belongs to them, not you, so you cannot take it back and throw it away.
I agree with what you say about some people attempts, a close friend of mine took just the right amount of pain killers to survive without death or serious brain damamge and cut himself in the right places! He knew what he was doing. He was faking it. I never spoke to him again.

They aim to sound like pop-punk.

Pete's lyrics are personal to him. But it's not hard to work out what his messages are.

With absolutely no reference to the above topic, I can safely say...

This whole website is full of narrowminded arseholes. Most of whom will never make it past being in local bands because you are so un-open to the idea of listening to anything other than Prog, Metal, or whatever your taste is. Get a fu-cking grip and start broadening your record collection.

....And to bring it back to the topic at hand, Pete Wentz may have that Love or Hate thing about his personality, but in no way does that give anyone the right to say he deserves to die, public figure or not.

To recap... Open your ears to new music.... Get a life.

I can say I am into more music 98% of the people on here, this ranges from flamenco to classical, jazz, blues, rock, metal, funk and dance just to name a few. I can occasionally endure hiphop, but I'm not fond of people crying about how bad their lives are. If you're sad do something about it and stop being a pussy, and if I decide to not like a band because of that I can. End of story...

that is very true. having to be in the spot light and having to keep impressing people after your as big a legend as richard pryor can put a tremendous amount of pressure on someone. i can understand that it's a tough lifestyle but at some point, even celebrities have to grow up.

and fall out boy's new album (infinity on high that is) is actually pretty impressive considering they are an emo band. i must say that they should get a better "mascot" than pete wentz. he isn't a good bass player at all and i'm pretty sure he's all about the image. terrible person to have in a band.

honestly I was a fan of Falloutboy until the release of infinity on high. Falloutboy sucked after 2005.

[Rainmaker27]

I noticed FOB weren't getting much airtime lately... I guess this is their new attempt to get some attention. Too bad they all didn't try.

[DaveGilmour1189]

Anyone else notice the drug he tried to OD on is close to impossible to do so? Its an anti-anxiety pill/relaxant, but it takes several GRAMS to OD on it (i.e. more than are in a prescription bottle). Its probably easier to overdose on caffine than that particular drug (that's why its prescribed often for depression and axiety)

[LPChild94]

Someone doesnt deserve to die just because they get a little depressed sometimes and write shitty music.

A bit too long but a very good point about it being for attention. Respect

[SchitzoJoe]

Despite the fact that most UGer's don't like Wentz, I have to say that no matter how much you hate his music, at least he's giving music to the world. Music is something that the world couldn't live without, and even if you don't like it, he's contributing to the art of music. Personal opinion has no stance in this article- no one deserves to die.

[SchitzoJoe]

And to StupidHuman- although I don't agree with suicide, I back up your stance 100%.

[LetsGoRedskins]

i dont sympathasize with him one bit, he is pathetic, if he did do this there is no reason to bring it up in public to get sympathy and publicity...all this guy cares about is being popular, that's why he tried to kill himself when he realized no one likes him !

First off, dumbass, it's on the news, so i read it because it was there.

Second, i know people who have attempted suicide, i'm not making fun of the idiot. But he has no reason to commit suicide.
He's rich, has a hot girlfriend, and has a successful band, he has serious reasons for suicide.

This world needs people like us dammit! unlike all these 'i only listen to deathmetal' goons. its music, therefore its all good.

Honestly, it's not the fact that they are Emo... it's the fact that they are talentless. Their music is like Ramen noodles, easy to make, taste like crap. Bands like NIN, Lamb of God, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc etc etc, they're like a gourmet meal, harder to make, and taste delicious!! That's why a lot of guitarist's here don't like Emo bands, not to mention a lot of us think they're only in it for fame and money. At less, that's my opinion, I don't know why everyone else doesn't like them. I'm sure a lot of people just hate the whole, look as much like a chick as possible thing, and the whining they do.

Not all of Sabbath and Metallica's music is hard, apart from Wentz the rest of theb and would be capable of some of it I imagine. They aren't all that horrible at their instruments. Oh and My Chemical Romance could play alot of Sabbath, Metallica and Sabbath stuff, but they are 'emo'.

Maybe that got a bit out of hand, but this just aggravates me so much. Pete Wentz had a cry for help two years ago, fair enough if he was a bit down, and it worked. Someone came to him and stopped him going all the way and committing suicide next time. But bringing it up now is just plain attention seeking - nobody cares anymore. And the people here attacking real suiciders as weak deserve the death that one of my friends chose to inflict upon himself.

Well he brought it up for the suicide prevention campaign. Though many people hate him, many people also like him. He's using his popularity to raise awareness to would-be suiciders so that they can get help and pull through like he did. That's the whole point of this article. That's why the headline is so misleading. It should be like "Pete Wentz supposts anti-suicide campaign" or something. The one who made this article is just finding a way to invite spammers.

he was seeking attention if he really wanted to kill himself he wudnt go to a best buy parking lot and taken a bunch of ativan. More thought wud of gone into it than making sure no cud stop him or interrupt etc... maybe a suicide note at least

and people saying he had a gd life. it does look a lot better than most peoples lives but u did not him personally so u cant say tht.

one last thing i think him goin public on something as serious as suicide is so wrong nd he is not takin it very seriously

he can be depressed just dont go public bout it

yeh whoever up top mentioned about cobain, he couldnt handle the famous life. he wanted his music to be heard, but didnt want himself to be well know.

I am a 19 year old male, and I like them. I also listen to Dream Theater, Cannibal Corpse, As I lay Dying, All That Remains, and many other metal acts.

I am a 19 year old male, and I like them. I also listen to Dream Theater, Cannibal Corpse, As I lay Dying, All That Remains, and many other metal acts.

Before you go and critisize FOB and Pete Wentz, why don't you go out into the world, sell millions of albums, and attract millions of fans? Message me back when that happens.

Just because he has sold millions of albums, itr doesnt mean he is skilled, it just means that there are millions of people who are just as stupid and gay as pete wentz who will buy his albums.
Ummmmm actually, pete wentz WILL die off because he is good at what he does----guys. He will get AIDs, and die...

I think what happened here was that when Pete Wentz tried to kill himself, he killed of his straight half, and now all he is left with is his gay half. ALtho, chances are he was born with 95% gayness, and 5% straightness.
