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.

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

Mmhmm QUOTE(FreeStickers @ Mar 13 2006, 4:02 PM) If they always were, they never sold out -- they'd just be lame. 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. |

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. |

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.

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 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. |
