'Gay' is not another word for 'shitty;' if you want to call the band shitty, then say they're shitty. Don't call them gay, because GAY is NOT another word for shitty..... you homophobic assholes. |
[And Fall Out Boy isn't the notoriously feuding Guns N' Roses.] We're best friends, ... And that's what's most important. They know a healthy Pete is good for Fall Out Boy. |
[But as] I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt ... they wake up with Pete Wentz from Illinois. |
[Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz said part of his band's enthusiasm for the project came from being able to teach a new generation about punk heroes like the band they covered, New York's legendary Gorilla Biscuits.] It's a band that we grew up on and thought was really cool, ... It's definitely influenced Fall Out Boy, so it's definitely cool to be a stepping stone for that band for people to check them out. |
[It is not an ode to the '60s R&B legends and their lead singer.] A lot of these songs are our responses to how we thought people would feel about us a year from when we were writing them, ... When you suddenly get successful, people are very interested in being your muse. |
[Looking back on what he likes to think of now as his] whine-tasting ... It's a really limited perspective, but I remember at the time it was very, very cathartic. When somebody hangs up on the phone when you're 2,000 miles away from them, you have no recourse. The only reaction there is, is a pen. There's nothing else that you can do. |
A lot of bands get up on stage and sing about sex and stuff like that. But we just want to do a song about falling in love. |
A lot of bands in music history have had titles that were easy for radio DJs. We wanted to have titles that were true to the songs. That sets us apart. |
And at some point, you decide that you are going to do something that's detrimental or you are going to be someone who's detrimental not only to yourself but to the future of the thing that you're trying to keep going, and it's better to just go out and clean out the skeletons in your closet rather than to keep going and doing that. |
Definitely. If I wasn't ordinary, this wouldn't feel really strange to me. It would feel very deserved and feel like vindication whereas being ordinary, thinking that I'm probably a pretty normal, ordinary person, I feel like we got put in a fish tank, kind of by accident. |
Emo is over, you can all go home now. |
Fall Out Boy is very healthy right now, |
Gay is not a synonym for shitty or bad. If you want to say something's shitty; then just say it's shitty or bad and stop being such a homophobic asshole. |
I don't know how much we've even spoken to our label about this, but we're going to try and go into the studio this summer, |
I don't think there is any beef between us. Their drummer is really nice. |
