[Ari Christos]

Taking a while to buffer. I'll shower real quick and come back to watch.

[BozzBlonde]

Was he balding? :-0


Anyway, good stuff.

[Yellowcard2006]

I'm interested in hearing some recorded stuff. This sounds fine.

[NateFoundGlory]

His voice is horrible.

...them are fightin words right there.

You're from a town called Sandwich... scarrrryyyyy.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

You're from a town called Sandwich... scarrrryyyyy.

u take that back. I-8 conference rules.

[Ari Christos]

Just watched: for a live performance with some tech and sound issues, you can tell his record will have great potential. Really excited for it.

[CollectiveConfusion]

eesh... i don't know about this...

[catherinexhimel]

u take that back. I-8 conference rules.


Nahh.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Nahh.

Anyways, how do you think his voice is horrible??? Sure it's not your speakers?

[Ari Christos]

He literally has one of the best voices in music. Not in the scene, not in the mainstream - just music in general. So good.

Maybe I'm just not liking him because of Fall Out Boy, but I never really liked Patrick Stump.

[Charles777]

I enjoyed the video. His album is going to be the balls

[Stavie Steelo]

Eh sounded better with FOB

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Maybe I'm just not liking him because of Fall Out Boy, but I never really liked Patrick Stump.

Fair enough but FOB has some good tunes!

[xJesusFreakx]

I'm thinking I'll end up really enjoying his solo release. This isn't a great performance, but there's definitely enough to like about it to make me excited for the studio album.

[drudo182]

Hard to tell on that video but I'm down for anything Patrick does.

[NateFoundGlory]

You're from a town called Sandwich... scarrrryyyyy.

Haha this town's name will be the death of me...

[Deadbolt23]

He literally has one of the best voices in music. Not in the scene, not in the mainstream - just music in general. So good.

I don't really think so. Good voice, but I wouldn't say he's one of the best.

[catherinexhimel]

Fair enough but FOB has some good tunes!



Mmmm, yeah they have a few catchy songs but I'm not a huge fan of them.

[catherinexhimel]

Haha this town's name will be the death of me...


Haha it's a pretty badass name, not gonna lie. I wish I lived in a town named after food.

[MattRM]

Wow, I thought this was pretty good.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Haha this town's name will be the death of me...

We talked before but Coal City is where it's at! haha

[writeacliche]

How anyone can dislike this guy or his music is beyond me. One of the best and, I think, most honest voices in music.

[SomedayTheFire]

His voice is horrible.
Wtf is wrong with your ears?

[aradiantsunrise]

Pretty good. Looks like he lost weight.

[And Hours Pass]

He literally has one of the best voices in music. Not in the scene, not in the mainstream - just music in general. So good.
I love Pat stump, but I definitely don't agree with this. Best in music? :uhno:

[iSasquatchh]

You're from a town called Sandwich... scarrrryyyyy.

Hey buddy, you back the fuck off!

[catherinexhimel]

Wtf is wrong with your ears?


Somethings WRONG with me because of my opinion of his voice? wow.

[Theseventhson]

He literally has one of the best voices in music. Not in the scene, not in the mainstream - just music in general. So good.
No, he has a good voice in the scene, but I know plenty of people with better voices than him.

[catherinexhimel]

Hey buddy, you back the fuck off!


:)

[atticus18244fss]

Gonna be a good record

[SomedayTheFire]

Somethings WRONG with me because of my opinion of his voice? wow.
No your ears. He has a wonderful voice, come on now. I know you don't like the band but his voice is so far from horrible. Oh and stating 'his voice is horrible' isn't voicing an opinion.

[Ari Christos]

I don't really think so. Good voice, but I wouldn't say he's one of the best.

I love Pat stump, but I definitely don't agree with this. Best in music? :uhno:

No, he has a good voice in the scene, but I know plenty of people with better voices than him.

In the current state of music? He's certainly one of the best.

[mrnegativezero]

He sounds good but he really needs a backing band.

[Burn That Shit]

No your ears. He has a wonderful voice, come on now. I know you don't like the band but his voice is so far from horrible. Oh and stating 'his voice is horrible' isn't voicing an opinion.

do you honestly expect someone to put "in my opinion" in front of what they're saying everytime they say something? stop playing offended guy, i don't think he sounded very good in the video either.

[BornUnderPunches]

do you honestly expect someone to put "in my opinion" in front of what they're saying everytime they say something? stop playing offended guy, i don't think he sounded very good in the video either.
saying "his voice is horrible" isnt stating an opinion. if he put " i dont like his voice that much" then it would be an opinion

[SomedayTheFire]

do you honestly expect someone to put "in my opinion" in front of what they're saying everytime they say something? stop playing offended guy, i don't think he sounded very good in the video either.
There is a difference of stating a fact and an opinion. I don't expect anybody to say imo at all but to say straight out his voice is horrible is not an opinion.

[SomedayTheFire]

saying "his voice is horrible" isnt stating an opinion. if he put " i dont like his voice that much" then it would be an opinion
I don't get how people don't understand this.

[SophGod]

if she would've said "i think his voice is horrible" it would have been an opinion. She didn't but we all know it's what she thinks, so stop getting so fucking butt hurt over it.

[11:11]

If this is a sign of what's to come on his solo album, I'm stoked for it.

[catherinexhimel]

No your ears. He has a wonderful voice, come on now. I know you don't like the band but his voice is so far from horrible. Oh and stating 'his voice is horrible' isn't voicing an opinion.



I think his voice is horrible. There. Personally, I don't like his voice. I don't like anyone's voice. Happy?

[kearn1tm]

The video from January, where he played his respective parts and looped them together, sounded catchy; something akin to that angular Disco pastiche Post-Punk stuff from the early '00s. This performance sucked. Stump is a performer I clearly believe to live-or-die by the studio, which I'm fine with. If he's no longer a part of the raucous and dumb FoB, which is made by ridiculous live shows (which I love, by the way) and white kid angst, then I have no qualms with him playing "grown-up songwriter" in a blazer and t-shirt making dance-y grooves that are predominantly studio-sculpted. I just don't have a reason to see him in live.

This is an interesting opinion. I like that you're recognizing that what he did in FOB and what he appears to be trying to do alone have different merits and functions, but can be enjoyed in separate respects if you acknowledge that. Maybe your comments stand out to me because I don't anticipate that most of his audience will be quite that discerning. It will be cool to see how people react to his reinvention.

[And Hours Pass]

In the current state of music? He's certainly one of the best.
I can't agree with that. Without even giving this much thought at all, I'll name some singers that are better than him: Marc Broussard, Brandon Boyd, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Maxwell, Matt Morris, Robin Thicke...

That list can go on for awhile. I'm a very big fan of Pat Stump, but to say he's one of the best voices in music is just crazy.

[Burn That Shit]

if this were the case, no one would be able to say "x is horrible" ever.

[Deadbolt23]

What do you mean by that?

[maxvsmaradona]

He lost a shit ton of weight. Good for him.

edit: I'm excited for whatever Andy and Joe do post-fob. I'm hoping it'll be better than this one man pop mess.

It's not, because he's arguably better than everyone of the names you just listed. Robin Thicke? Really? Stump has such a versatile voice and one of the widest ranges I've heard in a long time.

What do you mean by that?

I guess just the current state of popular music, I don't really know how to simplify that more lol sorry if it's vague.

[mrnegativezero]

I disagree with your taste, but I look forward to The Damned Things (which is Andy, Joe, Keith Buckley and two members of Anthrax) purely because of the members.

[fly_guy]

Holy crap he is so skinny

[jaryd]

Awesome

If you're saying that modern music is bad, or that modern musicians don't have good voices then I think you're completely wrong. If not, then I have no idea what you're trying to say.

[Ari Christos]

No, I think in the realm of modern vocalists he's one of the best. I don't know how you got that implication.

[geebee889]

Really? :/

[Deadbolt23]

Because you said 'in the current state of modern music'. Idk. Made me think that you thought it was in a bad state. Never mind.

[Ari Christos]

I don't know why I'm the only one who thinks Patrick Stump is one of the best modern vocalists. I stand alone. Sigh.

[geebee889]

I don't know why I'm the only one who thinks Patrick Stump is one of the best modern vocalists. I stand alone. Sigh.


It's not that I don't think he's good, because he is. He's just being compared to some insanely talented vocalists in every single genre. If you're saying he's one of the best in general, then I have to respectfully disagree.

Which is fine, I don't mind. I just don't like being told "WRONG" lol. I'm not even an FOB fanboy or anything. I just really love Pat's voice. Oh well.

Nah, I wouldn't say you're wrong. This really all comes down to personal preferences, and some people might like his voice and some might not. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong. Like, Brandon Boyd is one of my absolute favorite vocalists, but I have a few friends that find his voice annoying. I still think he's fantastic, but they never will. Like I said, it's all about taste.

[Cuddleworthy]

wish the song didnt suck but im pretty sure it did

[MILFCORE]

hes so skinny.

[KellyGleason]

He lost tons of weight, I hardly recognized him! He sounded great and I'm anticipating his solo release.

If you honestly think he has a bigger vocal range than Robin Thicke, you're out of your mind. I'm not even a fan of Robin Thicke and am a big fan of Pat stump, but the fact that you would try to argue that he's better than any of those singers is just crazy. Objectively, that's just not right.

Oh, objectively huh? Prove it to me then.

[And Hours Pass]

Oh, objectively huh? Prove it to me then.
Objectively Robin Thicke has a greater range. His range is far cleaner and his technique is, according to any voice teacher, healthier and better. The ranges of every musician I mentioned are cleaner and less strained than Pat's. I love Pat, but he strains when he hits the high parts and he doesn't make clean transitions between notes.

[jaaaayden]

Was he balding? :-0
He's always been balding. You'll notice he usually wears hats and beanies to cover it up usually, though.

[BozzBlonde]

He's always been balding. You'll notice he usually wears hats and beanies to cover it up usually, though.

Yeah, I knew he always wore hats and what not. I just didn't know that was the reason why. He's been wearing hats since TTTYG and he was only like 17-18 then. Regardless, no one should be balding in their twenties.

[cshadows2887]

1. Disappointed by the new song.
2. I have faith in Patrick. The rest of the record will probably be good.
3. There is no oibjective good for singers beyond pitch. It's preference. Get over it.

[Ari Christos]

Thing 2 backin my shit UP

Edit: That sounds like my literal shit is backed up because of you. Man that was worded poorly.

[cshadows2887]

Ew, Thing 1. Just ew. But yeah, I had this argument with someone in the replies of a TSwift news post and it ended in me calling her a pretentious fuck. I mean bizz-nass.

I'll follow in your footsteps one day and be a forum vigilante with my iconic avatar. Soon.

Still have hope for this record, though. His first live show was bound to be a little rough. Once he gets his act together, it'll come through. And he always delivers on record, at least.

Agreed. He's always been a poor live performer. So a poor live performance isn't really going to put me off.

[Ari Christos]

Agreed. He's always been a poor live performer. So a poor live performance isn't really going to put me off.

I have trouble bringing myself to say he's a poor live performer because his acoustic performances are always spot on and, often, arguably better (in my opinion [which shouldn't have to be stated, because it would naturally be my opinion by virtue of ME saying it, but I don't want the Objective Police to arrest me]).

Those are virtuosic parentheses, my friend. And yeah, he is good acoustic, but when he's all up and energetic, he can't sing worth shit. I'd rather he sat still and just let the eight wonder of the word emanating from his throat keep the people entertained.

[lilwave]

Regardless the grade of his performance, I more than enjoy myself watching it. The last song he did was really grand. I could have lived without the first, but the second was groovy.

[himynameisscott]

patrick stump does have one of the most unique voices in music. his range is unbelievable. I have high hopes for his solo album. I feel his talents were overshadowed by wentz in FOB. this will give him the attention he deserves.

[karadotcollett]

Pete Wentz needs to go back to sending pictures of his dick to Ashlee Simpson and stop being in bands. He can't even play his fucking bass.

Anyway, i want this Pat Stump album now.

Yeah. all the live vids ive seen of him, hes either not playing, or you cant hear the bass at all. Im wouldnt be surprised if he didnt even know how to play.

[karadotcollett]

i bet Pat recorded all the bass on the FOB albums, considering the sick bass on tracks like Dance, Dance and XO

[himynameisscott]

ive only seen one vid on youtube where the person filming was right by his monitor, and he was only playing every once in a while yet it sounded like the bass waas consistant.. he kept running around and holding his bass over his head.


so maybe he doesnt really even play live.
