and the success of FUCT had nothing to do with it...

[Teddythegr8one]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno

[VeloriumCamper]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno

Yeah it was on all of the time haha.

[Criesofthepast7]

haha! if it wasn't for FUTC TTTYG wouldnt have gone gold. and they have like 4 vids for TTTYG, and i have seen them all on MTV2 or on the computer.

[whocares930]

TTTYG is so much better than FUCT

[xllirikx]

TTTYG is the superior CD by leaps and bounds, but I'm glad they are doing so well.

[blackemostar]

TTTYG is so much better than FUCT

amen.

[prozac mnms]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno
"saturday" was also on rotation

[Ambulance X]

they both stink

[baton]

i think that some of you here didn't get that he meant that TTTYG went gold without radio and mtv hyping them, this was before FUTCT came out i think and of course that there was video to GTA playing around, but it's like zero compared to SWGD or DD, but i may be wrong too :-)

[cahrishurr]

hahah zero mtv play
right

[pretty_in_punk3]

it's a great cd, so atleast it's deserving....unlike every other album that goes gold/platinum i.e. mariah carey and kanye and all that jazz....

[enj0i29]

Well I'm glad about that, I liked TTTYG alot better than FUCT

[knux]

saturday has been on demand for ever... crazy awesome cd should be double plat

[Save my day]

and the success of FUCT had nothing to do with it...

My thoughts exactly.

[I am all talk]

it's a great cd, so atleast it's deserving....unlike every other album that goes gold/platinum i.e. mariah carey and kanye and all that jazz....
you are an idiot, Kanye west is more talented than any musician that you listen to.

[zizou1790]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno

haha yeah im not sure what petes talking about i have seen grand theft autumn and saturday videos on mtv before, but still i love this album so much catchier than FUCT

[Drew Beringer]

FUCT > TTTYG

That's right, I said it.

[Jonathan Lally]

you are an idiot, Kanye west is more talented than any musician that you listen to.

haha.. your shirt reminds me of "Legends of the Hidden Temple" on Nickolodeon.

[Tenn]

thats my favorite cd ever, i'm happy for them.

[SaturnineMantra]

you are an idiot, Kanye west is more talented than any musician that you listen to.

listen to this man.

[Caleb Cattivera]

i saw the saturday video at target ALL the time.

[zizou1790]

i think that some of you here didn't get that he meant that TTTYG went gold without radio and mtv hyping them, this was before FUTCT came out i think and of course that there was video to GTA playing around, but it's like zero compared to SWGD or DD, but i may be wrong too :-)

youre wrong haha

[I am all talk]

FUCT > TTTYG

That's right, I said it.
i wouldn't completely disagree with that statement. I enjoy both.

[zizou1790]

haha.. your shirt reminds me of "Legends of the Hidden Temple" on Nickolodeon.

haha i was thinking the same thing! i loved how those crazy indians would jump out of the temple and mug the kids on the final mission in the temple

[I am all talk]

haha.. your shirt reminds me of "Legends of the Hidden Temple" on Nickolodeon.
that is what it is from

[I am all talk]

haha i was thinking the same thing! i loved how those crazy indians would jump out of the temple and mug the kids on the final mission in the temple
indians? that is so insensitive. They prefer to be called temple guards

[The Light]

it's a great cd, so atleast it's deserving....unlike every other album that goes gold/platinum i.e. mariah carey and kanye and all that jazz....

Kanye West did more for music on The College Dropout alone than Fall Out Boy will do over the span of their entire career.

[zizou1790]

indians? that is so insensitive. They prefer to be called temple guards

haha im sorry i couldnt remember the proper word haha were you on the show?

[anamericangod]

personally i think that is bullshit.

not too sure how that mess of a new album Cork Tree has outsold TTTYG like crazy.

That album made me feel something tingly. The new album just makes me feel the power button on my stereo.

[baton]

youre wrong haha

than explain :-D

[zizou1790]

than explain :D

mtv had hyped them as the next big thing and helped them out by playing saturday and grand theft autumn a ton, ecspecially on mtv 2

[I am all talk]

haha im sorry i couldnt remember the proper word haha were you on the show?
they would appreciate it if next time you did not associate them with those savages. The temple guards are a civilized, industrial people

[thesewalls]

I like tttyg better than fuct. and i still like this band. f you all.

[I am all talk]

I like tttyg better than fuct. and i still like this band. f you all.
f you all? we have another idiot in the thread

[I am all talk]

check it out, hey chris is lurking the thread

[70x7]

I once saw a Jamster ringtone commerical for Saturday this summer before they blew up to the extent they have now. It was when Sugar, We're Going Down was played mostly on MTVU, but the commercial was on one of the more basic cable channels.

[zizou1790]

check it out, hey chris is lurking the thread

whats hey chris' account name?

[I am all talk]

whats hey chris' account name?
......heychris

[zizou1790]

whats hey chris' account name?

haha sorry stupid question

[I am all talk]

haha sorry stupid question
ya it was. but it happens

[baton]

mtv had hyped them as the next big thing and helped them out by playing saturday and grand theft autumn a ton, ecspecially on mtv 2

yeah, i was just guessing that it went gold before saturday even came out, but it seems that it happened right now, i thought that this was long time ago. and i don't live in us so i don't know how much they got played, but i'm sure that they hyped them really much :-)

[Meggers]

It suprised me when he announced it had just gone gold; I thought it had gone gold awhile back. Also surpirsed me how much they played off of TTTYG, which made the show more enjoyable.

[Trainsaw]

That was kind of a stupid statment from someone who is on MTV all the time promoting his band. It happens all the time when bands get huge, they see sales of their earlier cd's blow up.

[lastronaut]

Just proof that music is dead.

[youareallfreaks]

bout damn time too. and it doesn't bother me that they got big with FUCT, any way for people to get to listen to TTTYG is fine with me. such a great album.

[weworemasks]

even before they blew up, i hated pete live, because he does not shut the fuck up between songs.
thats all i have to say.

[anamericangod]

Just proof that music is dead.

you only have 20 posts, but i'm still pretty much inclined to agree with you.

the straylight run/spill canvas show the other nite made me want to kill myself. I had to have been the oldest guy there, no shit.

by the way i just turned 20....

[heyRomanticA__x]

wow..I thought this went tripple double platinum long time ago...

[desaparecido]

it's a great cd, so atleast it's deserving....unlike every other album that goes gold/platinum i.e. mariah carey and kanye and all that jazz....

i didnt read all the posts so im sure someone already said this... kanye is more deserving of gold/platinum anything than FOB. and i think take this to your grave is a fucking great album.

[imthenewcancer]

FUCT > TTTYG

That's right, I said it.

i dont completely disagree. id say more mature and quite a bit different...but i mean come on, theyre both amazing albums

btw...i was at the show and maybe because i spend too much time on the interweb, i had no idea there were so many hawthorne heights fans...

[forumreader]

Just proof that music is dead.


omg hyperbole has reared its ugly head.

I actually thought HH was good. Micah always amazes me.

I couldn't believe how many FFTL fans there were, esp. little kids. I was just like wtf? I missed their set though, so I guess that's okay.

The Hush Sound was amazing, I love them.

[grnweenieag]

it's a great cd, so atleast it's deserving....unlike every other album that goes gold/platinum i.e. mariah carey and kanye and all that jazz....
Hey man...that Kanye cd isn't all that bad. And this is comin from someone who hates hip-hop. Due to the three girls I was with, all we listened to for the 19 hour spring break car ride was rap and after awhile there were some songs I could totally handle...weird

[blimpcityhero11]

FUCT is a good album, but I highly doubt they will ever top TTTYG... a classic in their genre

[drugs!]

i dont know i preferred pplwy to tttyg and fuct

[ThriftWhore]

im so sick of this band.

[black rose]

TTTYG is and always will be my favorite cd.
i could listen to that cd forever and never get tired of it.
granted i would have liked it if FOB never became THIS big but i'm happy for them.
they deserve this more than a lot of people/bands.

and about kayne--
i don't like hip/hop or rap but this guy is a genuis.
i saw him live(he opened for U2) and he was great.

[longstoryshort_]

who cares about their success, this cd deserves to have sold so many copies and im happy it made it gold.

[ThriftWhore]

Just proof that music is dead.
i love the pic in your sig man hahahaha.

[preppyak]

......heychris
whats hey chris' account name?
hahaha

[lastronaut]

i love the pic in your sig man hahahaha.

You're killing your father, Larry.

[zizou1790]

hahaha


hahaa awh man that was so boneheaded of me but i was looking at the bottom and i didnt see "hey chris"

[emoeric]

Ive Never seen so many abbreviations in my life!!!!!

[PinSmerch]

I'm pretty sure MTV had a "You Hear It First" promo for Fall Out Boy and in it they interviewed the band and showed the video for GTA.

[forumreader]

I'm pretty sure MTV had a "You Hear It First" promo for Fall Out Boy and in it they interviewed the band and showed the video for GTA.

They did, but the clip they showed was from Dead On Arrival.

[frankpistol]

yeah and without mtv no one would care

[PopPunkKid]

I dont get how people think TTTYG is better than FUCT. TTTYG has like 2 or 3 good songs then the rest is all filler. All the songs sound the same. FUCT has more variety and just overall better songs.

[kg00d]

We knew this was coming

[Ladron]

I dont get how people think TTTYG is better than FUCT. TTTYG has like 2 or 3 good songs then the rest is all filler. All the songs sound the same. FUCT has more variety and just overall better songs.

I think TTTYG is the prefered one because its the album most FOB fans here grew up listening to, it has some emotional value to them. FUCT is by no means a disaster of an album, its just that some were dissapointed with it for some reason.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

congrats to them then.

[StimulisRocker]

wtf if it wasnt for mtv or radio futct woudlnt ahve sold millions, which means there older cd;s woudnt have sold so much

[snowtires]

no mtv? isn't this the same guy who said they didn't use autotune?

[hi.im.brian]

at least people are gonna hear this album. TTTYG deserves it.

[blender]

with zero radio or MTV play

oh, and their constant presence on trl had nothing to do with that

wow is pete full of it

[Meggers]

oh, and their constant presence on trl had nothing to do with that

wow is pete full of it

I think he meant that TTTYG had no MTV play. I know they had the "You Hear It First" spot, but other than that, I don't think they were on MTV at that time.

[ETesdall]

you are an idiot, Kanye west is more talented than any musician that you listen to.

Sorry but dumb, dumb, dont say shit like that, its comes off making you look just stupid. sorry.

[Pooavenger]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno

they definitely got major rotation on Mtv and mtv2 leading up to fuct and beyond. grand theft autumn was all over both stations. that's where I saw it first.

[vin_007]

FOB= good pop-punk band. lets just get cartel to the same level as fob

[LouderThanBombs]

haha yeah im not sure what petes talking about i have seen grand theft autumn and saturday videos on mtv before, but still i love this album so much catchier than FUCT

noooo.
you have seen them on mtv2, but not mtv.
sorry.

[LouderThanBombs]

Sorry but dumb, dumb, dont say shit like that, its comes off making you look just stupid. sorry.

no it doesnt.
kanYe west is more talented than most people you, or i, listen to.

[starcrossdlovex]

TTTYG is the superior CD by leaps and bounds
I second that.

[Thedayspast2]

i've seen it on mtv and fuse before, and it's been played on our local college station alot... so they say "zero" help from mtv or radio?

[PaintMeBlue]

congrats...TTTYG will always hold a special place in my cd collection

[Nate_RAWKS]

Congratulations!

[fsasatticus]

I call bullshit!

[TheLifeMelodic]

and the success of FUCT had nothing to do with it...

exactly.

[Sycro]

If anybody here lives in a city with an independent radio station (ie not Clear Channel), they probably heard "Grand Theft Autumn" or "Saturday" at least once..... so no radio play is not quite accurate. And others have already pointed out the inaccuracies behind the MTV statement.... and the most obvious charge of TTTYG only selling because of FUCT.

[I am all talk]

Sorry but dumb, dumb, dont say shit like that, its comes off making you look just stupid. sorry.

Kill yourself

[ETesdall]

Kill yourself

You are the dumbest piece of shit i have ever seen in these threads, Instead of making a rational response to what i said you tell me to kill myself. Got anymore 7th grade responses for me, you are obviously so smart, what next, should i die of cancer while im at it because i disagree that kanye west is god's gift to music. Funny thing is, is that i like kanye west. But you said he has more talent than ANYONE I LISTEN to, are you telling me he has more talent than people like john lennon and other legendary song writers who have changed music. Think about what you say before you say it. Oh wait I should just go kill myself, and you look like a tool in your picture, you must be so baddass dude.

[ETesdall]

no it doesnt.
kanYe west is more talented than most people you, or i, listen to.

Yea i agree and i can see what you mean, but the moron i was talking to said that kanye west is BETTER THAN ANNNNNYYYY MUSICIAN i listen to. Holy shit thats the most ignorant shit ive ever heard. Think about what hes saying. Considering i dont just listen to pop punk. And then in response he tells me to kill myself. We are dealing with one intelligent induvidual.

[theredline]

I dont get how people think TTTYG is better than FUCT. TTTYG has like 2 or 3 good songs then the rest is all filler. All the songs sound the same. FUCT has more variety and just overall better songs.
I think I have to agree with you. Its a decent record but one thing I can't stand are the vocals. Horrible. There not much better on FUCT but definately more tolerable. The music is what makes me come back to TTTYG.

[elvis]

except for the fact that Grand Theft Autumn was on MTV 2 for a little bit

[mogwaifearsatan]

Kanye West did more for music on The College Dropout alone than Fall Out Boy will do over the span of their entire career.

tru

[Manbotisdead]

wasnt grand theft autumn on mtv or mtv 2? i thought ive seen it there? i denno

no it was on fuse I think.

Oh well they defintely had radio play of at least one song off that album, and MTV did a you hear it first on them before FUCT. Something isn't right their mr. wentz.

[ProblemWithFire]

God, this is band is fucking annoying. They aren't that goddamn great, either. The Descendents/ALL did pop punk 8 trillion times better. And they didn't have annoying 15 year old girls (and boys like look like girls) fans. Fuck you stupid kids. And fuck Jason Tate for getting all Tate Core about this overproduced cute mall kid pop punk band. Boo-urns.

[baton]

can't blame them for this days so called 'scene' :-)

[ntingley]

I Love Internet Drama Hahahahah

I look like a tool?!?! How 5th grade of you. And when I said that he is better than anyone you listen to I was ofcourse being literal, because you know that it's not like anyone exaggerates ever. Similarly, I literally believe that you should kill yourself.

[CheChe1455]

who's fall out boy?

Thats fine, thats really all i wanted to hear. Just don't make one response of "kill yourself". Thats all.

HHAHAAHA harsh, but i kinda agree with the deccendents and ALL doing it better.

[I am all talk]

if you took me seriously than you would probably be better off drinking a cup of bleach.

[grnweenieag]

Geez...some people on this board really need to grow up and stop exchanging empty comments to each other.

[ETesdall]

if you took me seriously than you would probably be better off drinking a cup of bleach.

honestly whats wrong with you.
