if i had a nickel for every time an “emo trinity” band ended immediately after fall out boy returns from a long break i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
@tragicwand
i love how since the original line is said by a woman in the movie closer an interviewer was like “but a man singing a line from the female perspective is gonna make the song sound gay” and pete was literally just like “well yeah cuz it is gay”
btw last night the police department said fall out boy weren’t allowed to use pyro and they responded by announcing it on stage immediately before playing one of their biggest pyro songs light em up😭
i love how the ppl that are like “i can’t believe fall out boy support this😰” have ironically not been paying attention to the band at all for the past 20 years like they’ve BEEN like this & like clockwork the bigots that follow them lose their minds EVERY TIME😭
reminder that patrick stump literally called out kanye for that on his blog back in 2009 when it first happened… saying this like fall out boy did it as any kind of disrespect to taylor is ridiculous😭
patrick’s “tell me boys like boys like me better” lyric slip up was wild homeboy’s sheer ability to never remember lyrics correctly just accidentally made get busy living even gayer
something neat abt fob as a live band is that their music is infamous for having little vocal breaks & being vocally demanding yet patrick noticeably rarely ever relies on backing track or turns away from the mic to fill in gaps… he’s always against the mic singing w clarity
“at the end of the day i will always be this little fat 8 year old… i wish i could tell that kid, and to anyone here who’s like that kid… YOU BELONG you belong as yourself” patrick stump I AM SO FOND OF YOU
and the fact that he loved the sound of the bench in his jail cell sm that the entire time he was in jail he was playing drums on the bench… serving musicianship even in prison
patrick stump being the only “pop punk” singer/singer from the scene that consistently gets booked for other media makes him so fascinating to me like wdym the the same guy who sings sugar we’re goin down is also lego batman’s singing voice who also wrote music for alex brightman
this is why i could never handle being a celebrity imagine you’re abt to do press for your album and then the interviewer drops this bomb on you unprovoked
after my fob show my stepmom was like “the alice in wonderland themes were v interesting” and i was just like huh the what and she was like “the white rabbit, the clock, the teapot, the big tree!”… she kinda blew my mind
my fav thing about this hands down is the fact that they started the tour with ginasfs and ended it with pavlove😭 like fall out boy saw this tweet and literally decided to do the funniest thing possible
the fact that he looked so excited and then realized he forgot EVERYTHING he needs to perform… idk how many more “there’s nothing in that head of his” i got in me
patrick just made a joke abt it being favorite records live debut by going “this is the best time we played that song😁” and when it was silent he just goes “i am a DAD😐”
the fact that melanie fans that got the accidental fob album in the melanie vinyl are being like “wait this is good i should listen to the new fob album”😭 accidental free promo🤙
patrick saying in the new npr interview that he wants to do 20 MORE fall out boy albums bc “there’s nothing more exciting” than when pete sends him new lyrics… feeling very normal abt this
patrick talking about how he never actually knows how he’s feeling or understands his emotions bc of his adhd… and that the only way he knows how to communicate his feelings is through his hyperfixation on politics and music… he continues to be just like me fr
so patrick basically confirmed the reason fobs set felt greatest hits-y for a while before tourdust is bc the response to folie made him assume everyone just wanted to hear the hits & didn’t wanna hear much else but he said it got too sad & lonely for him to keep doing it
patrick’s stage banter was so funny tonight he literally called out the comments he gets on his outfits and he was like “I DRESS THIS WAY BC IF THE CROWD IS FEELING HOT AND MISERABLE THEN IM GONNA BE HOT AND MISERABLE WITH YOU GUYS WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER”😭
fall out boy’s knack for perfectly placed lyrical reprises is a part of what makes them one of my fav ALBUM artists especially the way patrick will sing the same line with a completely different delivery to add new dimensions/feelings to it
thinking abt that vid where fob does an interview at a mall & sometime into the interview everyone’s like “wait where did patrick go??” & then the camera cuts to him ordering something at the food court… he literally left an interview to go get food & honestly he’s real for that
patrick stopping piano bc there was a bug on his piano and going “i’m trying not to kill this bug🥺” and then the crowd screaming “KILL IT!” is one of the funniest moments of tour to me
i rlly think a huge reason why fob gets sm disproportionate hate is bc ppl honestly take themselves & rock WAY too seriously… the “worlds most unserious band” is hardly much of a hyperbole, a large part of fobs career is built on embracing silliness in a primarily elitist genre
calling fall out boy lyrics cringe is so funny to me. what part of “god i wish i was tall” “breaking hearts has never looked so cool” “besides we’ve got such good fashion sense” “YO HO HO WOAAAAHH” “hell yeah i’m a dick, girl, addicted to you” was serious to you??
you’re at a fall out boy concert, everything is going smoothly & normal. until fall out boy gets on & the bassist is wearing mschf big red boots… you’re in shock, but surely that’s it right? then suddenly it happens… the lead singer walks out wearing a my hero academia cardigan
