Not sure if this has been made before, I searched but I really didn't feel like going through all 41 pages. Sorry.

Anyway, ever since they made it into the mainstream radio stations, it just seems like Fall Out Boy, mainly Pete Wentz, have been just trying to get on TRL/MTV and all this publicity stuff. Now, when I listen to their music, it's just not the same.

Plus, I hate Sugar We're Going Down now.

Well, only time will tell.

P.S. If this post doesnt make sense, I blame it on it being past midnight.

Yeah, the songs don't seem the same anymore to me either. I don't really know the reason why though. Heh.

Yeah. TRL corrupts. It's going to happen to Panic!, too, so get ready.

It already has.

Well .. you know a band's good if they can still keep up a good, new, fresh sound after being butchered by MTV/TRL.

I don't really think they have changed their sound or soldout at all.
They have always sucked. No difference.

To me they always were...

i agree. 110%.
fallout boy makes me cringe.
and they always have.

If they always were, they never sold out -- they'd just be lame.

Anyway,

yes.

yea they have and im getting so sick of dance dance ..
also no not panic! !!

Mmhmm


Well. No. They could suck, sell out, and still suck- but with more publilcity, which sucks all the more. Which just so happens to be the case.

True. Still, in that case, they wouldn't have ALWAYS been sell outs.

Oh, no. But if "selling out" must equal sucking, then they may as well have.

Sellout = Suckage

Previous suckage + sellout = Previous suckage + suckage = more suckage.

however, i used to like them.

fall-out boy are a bunch of child molestors.



true story

Yeah. that's really true.

God they suck now.

Really, wtf "learn how to close the god damn door"...uhhh learn how to sing!

Yeah they went on TRL but hey you do what you have to do to get publicity. It's not really a big deal I mean... settle down. I've liked them for like 2 years. I seriously couldn't care less if they go on TRL or not.

I like their sound, lyrics, look, everything.

My opinion.

It has nothing to do with them going on TRL. They were hilariously awful on SNL (holy hell so many acronyms). And of course, Pete Wantz is everywhere suddenly...sometimes with his d**k out, too. So then of course there's all that bullshit which of course equals publicity.

i hate the voice..its hard to even udnerstand what theyre saying.

ditto!

What's wrong with publicity?

honestly i dont really care if theyre sellouts or not , cuz i think theyve always sucked .

Selling out is a very relative term. I was never fond of crap fall out boy made, even before they "sold out". Their sound was never anything that new or different, so I doubt you could call them a sellout. Also, selling out is NOT just becoming mainstream. Selling out is becoming mainstream, and changing your sound completely, so it is no longer unique, to fit with the MTV style of music, or something along those lines. Two band that have become fairly mainstream that have not sold out are Coheed & Cambria and Franz Ferdinand. They both have always had a quite unique, and good, If I may add, sound. Even after A Favor House Atlantic and Take Me Out became instant successes in the mainstream music society, their music is still very good.

I think it's funny how in school there are girls who love fall out boy but they say they hate them just because the cool kids think they suck... :angry: I don't care what you guys say I like FOB

*High fives Yen*

I still don't understand why publicity is a bad thing. Not all bands can thrive and have success how they want by staying completely underground.

it's tacky and obnoxious.

Not all bands prefer to be completely underground and unknown to the general public. Some bands want fame and fortune.

But I could really care less as long as they keep pumping out fabulous music.

Yes, I said fabulous music.

The problem with that is to abtain such levels of fame and fortune you need to sign a contract. And, in most cases, that contract binds the artist, in many cases, not to pump out "fabulous music."

Ya dig?

[I'm not being mean. I just wanted to sound it, so I could say, "Ya dig?" Cool.]

It's not a matter of staying underground; that's not what I meant by "publicity."

Their methods of attaining fame are tacky and obnoxious, not fame in general.

And as for the rest, Nate covered it.

Fall Out Boy is signed to Fueled By Ramen which I think does a good job of NOT binding their artists to be a certain way. All the bands in that record label have different styles of music. They have a hip hop/indie band for god's sake.

Is that what you meant by contract?

And as for their "ways of gaining fame" if you mean the pictures incident, Pete's sidekick got HACKED, you can't really prevent that. Or hey, maybe he put them out on the internet by himeself. He's a dirty boy.

I can see your point though because yeah I think TRL is tacky and just, stupid as well. They have to make money. This is their JOB. They HAVE to make money off of it. If that means going on TRL, so be it. Their loyal fans will stick with them.

DID. YOU. SEE. THEM. ON. SNL?

They're like the freaking Ashlee Simpson of emo bands.

Nope I didn't see them on SNL. But yeah I do have to admit they suck riteously live. I never said they rocked live.

Who gives as long as they keep making music.

well i never listened to them in the first place....and that falling down song annoyed me when i first heard it on the radio..soo..:whistle:

I heard "Sugar We're Goin' Down" five times on a 21-hour drive to Florida.

i would sell my sould to the devil to get sugar we're going down out of my head. more troublesome than nicotine, i tell you!

well... in order to sellout, you kind of have to change your aim in order to become famous... if their aim was to become famous, then they havent really soldout, because they didnt change the nature of their mission.

all this is moot (*hits nicki with a filp flop*), however, because they give me aheadache, sellout or no

i dont care...
i like fallout boy

F.O.B.'s just popular now because they're on mainstream.
They'll die down soon, anyway.
Hopefully.

Hm, they can try to be, but they're not.
Well to me atleast.
I used to like them until they got all big and stuff.
That's when bands die out; when MTV/TRL finds out about them..

I give. Besides the fact that their music is irritating as anything, it doesn't count if they can't f**king play their guitars themselves. They're more interested in looking "cool" than playing well, and that's just awful.

(and that's spelled "righteously," by the way)


I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING, MOOT OR OTHERWISE, DAMN YOU

I personally think they've always sucked, with or without MTV/TRL although they serious eff bands up.

If the radio stations and MTV and FUSE and every other music thing wouldn't play their stuff every effing 5 minutes, they probably wouldn't be as bad. But then again, the guy's voice is just an open call to get a migraine. And PLEASE, for Christ's sake, if I hear someone say "A loaded GUN complex", I'm going to kill myself with the damned gun-that-isn't-actually-part-of-the-lyrics-but-kids-say-because-they're-brainwashed.

They're profoundly irritating & they can't produce anything good.

How's that?
Sellout? Totally.

Well I find their music whiny and just...poor. But as long as you enjoy the music, who cares if they're sellouts? Many could consider Death Cab as selling out but I still listen to them from time to time.

Nice ambient music.

i like fob.

however, from under the cork tree.. the whole thing.. just sucks. idk if thats before or after mtv or what. i just know its a different sound, and i don't like it.

and pete wentz is way cocky. when i saw him live he thought he was all that and a cup of tea. so him doing publicity stunts wouldnt surprise me. he's good looking though, i'll give him that.
