ask him if he's getting tired from constantly touring the past year, cuz he looked a little worn out when i saw him play last week

05/02/06, 08:26 AM

Are they currently planning to play any new songs on the UK tour before they go into the studio?

Coming a hardcore band to a punk rock band must be a big change, does he ever wish he still made "heavy" music like Arma Angelus?

How much does he actually do for Friends or Enemies?

What does everyone eat while on the road? Is it hard to stay healthy while touring constantly?

05/02/06, 08:30 AM

I can't remember if I asked this: Do FOB have any plans to play any intimate shows in the UK like they have been doing in the US? Especially since they cancelled 2 small London shows last year in favour of the VMAs...

I would like you to ask pete, if he still thinks of himself as straight edge. And what his opinion/belief on the whole if he did or didnt break edge with the overdose of pills?

Hey Pete, my name's Erik and I've met you on a few occasions... I caught you coming off your bus backstage at Warped in Dallas TX, and I crowd surfed, we made eye contact, and you let me scream into the mic with you (before I was rough housed by security) during "Saturday" in Oklahoma... I just wanted to know if you remember (and which means more to you) people like me, who talk to you about your music, lyrics, and life rather than those who just tell you how hot you are and how sexy and cute you are and what not...

(big props to Jared if you ask this too homie... i REALLY hope you will, cause I've been trying to submit this question for more than a month on their website, but that shit never works)

Do your parents understand the amount of fame you have?

Were there times they told you were making a mistake by choosing music as a career?

In your opinion, is it better to have a better bass or a better amp when it comes to live sound quality?

What were your reactions to the day that AP.net posted 3 seperate reviews of FUCT?

05/02/06, 09:35 AM

What song would you say the band is most proud of? And why?
What song took the longest to write/make?

colorlesscliche

05/02/06, 09:48 AM

Could you, and the rest of the band, play a full set without looking at the set list?

PS, Jared, you should sneak me under your shit so I can say hi to the boys. :D

05/02/06, 09:52 AM

Ask Pete if their next album is going to be a double album.

OveriseFan

05/02/06, 09:55 AM

Why do you wear girl jeans, seriously. Is it just because that's what everyone else in the 'scene' does, or do you have a personal reason for it?

OveriseFan

05/02/06, 09:55 AM

Ask Pete if their next album is going to be a double album.

Double platinum maybe...

to ask questions on the fob website, you have to take out all apostrophes and commas...apparently they are anti-punctuation

05/02/06, 10:07 AM

Is it kind of disheartening that most fans on the Black Clouds and Underdogs tour aren't capeable of singing along to any songs besides 'Sugar' and 'Dance, Dance'?

Also, does he think its right that the people that were giving away wristbands to get to the floor were only giving them to teenage girls with their boobs hanging out as opposed to the fans that were there for the music?

DecemberFaded

05/02/06, 10:08 AM

question:

there is much more to constantly touring, writing, performing and meeting people than people think. as much as it is a passion of yours, it can be very exhausting and taxing on your entire frame of mind and can hinder relationships.

how do you keep your perspective; your personality and your overall passion for music alive?

more importantly, how do you stay grounded in such a shifting and selfish industry?

05/02/06, 10:10 AM

I would like you to ask pete, if he still thinks of himself as straight edge. And what his opinion/belief on the whole if he did or didnt break edge with the overdose of pills?

wait, what the hell? od on pills? since when????

Hey Pete, my name's Erik and I've met you on a few occasions... I caught you coming off your bus backstage at Warped in Dallas TX, and I crowd surfed, we made eye contact, and you let me scream into the mic with you (before I was rough housed by security) during "Saturday" in Oklahoma... I just wanted to know if you remember (and which means more to you) people like me, who talk to you about your music, lyrics, and life rather than those who just tell you how hot you are and how sexy and cute you are and what not...

no, fans like you dont mean more, because crowd surfing is stupid. sorry man.

ask pete:

do you realize that if you shut up between songs, you could probably fit 7 more songs into your setlist?
im speaking based off headlining tours with bayside, afs and the other with academy is, midtown, gch. both great tours, with both fob sets being ruined by him running his mouth. this was even before they were "famous."

cue john denver

05/02/06, 10:11 AM

In regards to this question and response:

Q: Is there any decisions you four have made as a band that you all have later regretted?

A: Yes. I guess ill just go into detail on one. We signed a deal originally because we just wanted to get music out. We feel like we were completely taken advantage of. I cant go into too much more detail legally, but it makes me want to make sure new bands out there that we are friends with don’t end up in shitty deals just because they want to get their music out there.

Is this response saying that "just wanting to get music out" is the wrong reason to sign a deal? If so, what does Pete Wentz feel are the right reasons to sign a deal?

handofgod

05/02/06, 10:26 AM

I asked this in the last thread but I'm really interested to know the answer so just incase you missed it...

Please ask pete why they still keep Charlie on as their security? Does he not realise that hiring someone who treats their fans like total shit is just as bad as doing it himself/themselves? And I won't accept a "we need someone to control the crowds of screaming girls" answer because charlie was a dick even when there were very few people hanging around late after the shows in the UK.

Personally, I wouldnt have hung around late if it wasnt for getting high with the mighty gym class heroes but the way he treated the kids that just wanted a photo and an autograph and a quick chat was disgraceful. How can you continue to let him get away with this shit?

Also, if Charlie is there, tell the cunt to lay of the steroids and get a real fucking job.

Q: You said in the last interview that you have been advising bands about the "dangers" of jumping right in with a major label. Do you think that signing with Island Records was a mistake and if so is there another major label that you think could handle Fall Out Boy better.

also

Q: It seems like the band's popularity has lead to some people gaining a negative image of you so do you think being on MTV has hurt you more then it's helped you?

handofgod

05/02/06, 10:54 AM

I have no idea what you're addressing. What'd he do / say? IM me if you want.
i sent you a message. hopefully ive explained myself a little better

05/02/06, 11:12 AM

what ever happened to the dragonforce interview that was supposed to go down??

dbarker02

05/02/06, 11:48 AM

Ask him if he realizes that he's a huge fucking douche bag.

I second this. Also, maybe ask him about his own taste in music, because he's either:

Listening to terrible bands and ripping them off

or

Listening to decent bands and not understanding anything they're saying

pete used to be in a pretty sweet hardcore band actually...

05/02/06, 11:59 AM

If "a little less 16 candles. . ." has the weakest lyrics, why put it on the record instead of other songs that didn't make it (hand of god, music of the misery, etc.)?

how does he respond to people that say FOB's a bad live band?

how does he feel about older fans resenting him for having to see FOB in an arena for $35+?

What bands does he think are more about their image than the music? How does he defend having From First To Last on tour, when they seem to be one of those "image bands"?

emoeric

05/02/06, 12:05 PM

is fob ever gonna take punchline out on the road?

Kind of of topic but I believe they already have. I am pretty sure Punchline opened for Fall Out Boy on there last small club tour here in Des Moines. But I could be wrong cause it was like 3 years ago.

dpmurph

05/02/06, 12:24 PM

Coming a hardcore band to a punk rock band must be a big change, does he ever wish he still made "heavy" music like Arma Angelus?

ask it.

05/02/06, 12:29 PM

DID HE LIKE THE JAMES MUNOZ NOODZ?

i think thats the only question that needs to be asked.

What is your favorite state to play in. In the US of A.

P.S. You know you love New York!

you, patrick, and andy are all straight-edge. how do you feel about joe's smoking cigarettes and pot?

Chalie22

05/02/06, 12:47 PM

Ask him to explain his DNA ( Diamonds Never Age) crew tattoo and does it still hold any meaning now that he's gone and apperently broke edge.

Also, ask him does he ever feel he will do any side metalcore projects in the vein of his old band Arma Angelus in the future

05/02/06, 01:12 PM

1)were you getting off youself while taking THE PICTURES?
-cause it looked like something i would do, if i was alone on a tuesday night.

2)were you talking to yourself while you were taking them?
-like " hey Pete, your so hawt"

and most of all
3)THE PICTURES?

TAC

05/02/06, 01:15 PM

Pete has always been a supporter of his local music scene. Ask him what he thinks of some of the newer bands coming out of Chicago now....(Inept, Russian Circles, The Alpha Couple). Ask him who some of the bands that most people outside of Chicago might not know about that he thinks are deserving of attention and what his plans are for any new signings to decaydance.

thenewhollywood

05/02/06, 01:23 PM

ask him what it's going to take to never see his four-foot, bass twirling ass again. this band really needs to pull a lynyrd skynyrd. one.

05/02/06, 01:26 PM

In two days I'll be sitting down with Pete Wentz (http://www.absolutepunk.net/falloutboy) for the second part of our ABSOLUTExclusive interview. Now is probably your last chance to submit questions; post anything you want to know in response to his answers or you feel wasn't touched upon in part one in the replies.

Ask him where he got his "Jack Bauer is having a really bad day" shirt that he's wearing in the video on Decaydance's MySpace, if he still has it, and if he'll sell it to me for 20 bucks.

HanusMaximus

05/02/06, 01:30 PM

As long as you ask my question about how his mom feels about him taking pictures of his penis in her house... then I am fine.

black rose

05/02/06, 01:33 PM

i am also interested in the straight-edge questions.
Q:Have you broken edge, and if you have do you regret it?

aquaholic

05/02/06, 01:46 PM

ask him to pick between morrissey or wes eisold. who would he have to say more of his influence comes from and if we will hear any moz/wes inspired lyrics on the new cd.

Dan CiTi

05/02/06, 01:51 PM

I NEED to know does he want to make a double album as important,as epic or as good as London Calling by The Clash?(if a human still can)

or if it was the reason why he wanted to make it a double album?

HanusMaximus

05/02/06, 01:52 PM

ask him to pick between morrissey or wes eisold. who would he have to say more of his influence comes from and if we will hear any moz/wes inspired lyrics on the new cd.

clearly he will say Morrissey, I mean does he take naked pictures with posters of Wes Eisold?

XxLoserDanxX

05/02/06, 02:04 PM

Zummy, love the signature ... I read it.

Q: since he says he loves certain bands and is friends with certain bands, does the band have any pull as to what bands they bring on tour with them or what shows they play. Many times it's the label and/or management who dictates it.

rufiocardtime

05/02/06, 02:29 PM

1) What is your band's goal when writing music and/or a record? Do you guys try to write timeless music or is Fall Out Boy just trying to make trendy records?

2) How often do you lurk on sites like AP.net, myspace.com, etc? Or what sites do you usually creep around to see what kinds of negative things people say about your band?

3) What is your reaction to the millions of fans that you have (arguable the majority of your fanbase) that fit the stereotype of the girl that you talked shit on all throughout Take This to Your Grave? Does it bother you that all these fans clearly don't understand the message you were sending out?

4) How many chicks have you ruthlessly boned in your tour bus? Have you ever caught an STD?

And yes, I will be slightly dissappointed if you don't have the balls to ask him these kinds of questions.

butt_code

05/02/06, 02:35 PM

Are you guys planning anything special for the second Chicago show on May 15th ?

SomethingLikeTJ

05/02/06, 02:47 PM

prozac mnms

05/02/06, 02:48 PM

4) How many chicks have you ruthlessly boned in your tour bus? Have you ever caught an STD?

I think you should ask that just for the sake of the laugh. "Ruthlessly boned" sounds so harsh.

To me it's seems as though the guys in FOB are perfectionists so I was wondering if they would ever purposely release demos, live recordings, B-sides, etc. that they thought weren't good enough to be on the albums to the public (in the manner that Head Automatica and the New Amsterdams have done/are doing).

kjehrhart

05/02/06, 03:26 PM

How does he feel about the live journal communitites like viawentztop and peengate which are pretty much there to mock him and talk about his penis. Are they hurtful or funny? And is he a lurker of any of these places? If I were a tenth as famous as him and had my own community made for making fun of me I'd look and see what people were saying.

I can let you know for a fact that he lurks Viawentztop because he's admitted to it to many fans ( who are a part of viawentztop ) when they've asked him.

Pete.. do you know anything about Acids and Bases... cuz my chemistry class is killing me...

3milesdown

05/02/06, 03:49 PM

without being disrespectful...

does the band [or patrick] get sometimes mad because you [pete] get most of the attention?

we know fob and ap are closely tied. how often do you check this site?

ishotthepilot

05/02/06, 03:54 PM

i've asked enough stupid questions that probably arent even going to make it to the interview, but...
is fob ever gonna take punchline out on the road again?
that would be heavenly.

and actually, i can't help it. heres a Q-

will you want to hurt another AP.net reviewer if he calls your next album (double disc?) a perfect 'summer' album? or spring/winter/fall, cause i'm sure those exist too.
i know you had a problem with it last May, because the songs and the words mean more to you than that.

Q: You said in the last interview that you have been advising bands about the "dangers" of jumping right in with a major label. Do you think that signing with Island Records was a mistake and if so is there another major label that you think could handle Fall Out Boy better.
well they didn't just jump right in, they'd existed for at least 2 years and were probably a bit more savvy than younger bands just starting out.

ask pete what he thinks about all the stories of bands getting screwed over by Victory, even having heard the bad press pre-signing.

Q: since he says he loves certain bands and is friends with certain bands, does the band have any pull as to what bands they bring on tour with them or what shows they play. Many times it's the label and/or management who dictates it.

seconded.

abusedcat

05/02/06, 03:59 PM

what are his top ten all time favoritew albums and why?

heyitsjeremy

05/02/06, 04:16 PM

I know Pete likes Transformers, so here are a few serious questions from one Transformers fan to another:

What do you think of the new live action Transformers movie coming out next year? What is you favorite Transformers series and who is your overall favorite character?

Damn, that was total geek right there.

AbeLurkin

Jared Kaufman

05/02/06, 06:50 PM

does anyone REALLY care this much about what this toolbag has to say about music? do we really need a second interview?
I care more about what he has to say than ANYTHING you could ever post in our replies.

MakeMeElectrik

05/03/06, 05:22 AM

ask pete why f.o.b. sold out so hard, why they feel like they need to be all over mtv, and why 12 year olds are in love with them.

dbarker02

05/03/06, 02:36 PM

Why don't you bring Morrissey on here to tell us what he thinks about Pete Wentz and his band. Maybe that'd knock them down a few pegs. I'm sure Wes Eisold would probably rip them apart, too. At least, hopefully.

37Everywhere

05/03/06, 10:38 PM

Pete, I was at Twisted Christmas this past winter season, and you mentioned some local Chicago acts that are up and coming, I had heard of all of them except for coventry i believe, and skyriter, are these 2 new possible signings? Who's chicago's next?
