Clone Your Very Own Fall Out Boy

[Jason Tate]

Fall Out Boy (http://www.absolutepunk.net/falloutboy) will be running a series of contests (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1554403/20070312/fall_out_boy.jhtml) promoting their upcoming tour. One of these contests will include the band "mix[ing] their own blood with the printing ink that will be used on a series of promotional posters."

[blender]

uh... blood?

[FrostedFlames]

why?!

[Bongi5788]

this is getting a little extreme.

[Pecan603]

I hope they all get tested for all sorts of shit first. That's not even cool one bit.

You beat me to it.

[mick2late]

Wow...I tried to think up something witty to post but I'm honestly at a loss for words.

[elscorchette]

disturbing

[Don Trump]

Wow...I tried to think up something witty to post but I'm honestly at a loss for words.

I'll help you.

So you're saying that these will be the first posters in world history infected with AIDS and Syphillis?

[Jason Tate]

why?!
He wrote that the drawing of their own blood would serve to "[shed] some light on the much-needed support for blood drives."

[love_american_style]

this is pathetic...

[Jason Tate]

this is pathetic...
How so?

[Robb]

This was only cool when KISS did it.

[brody13]

I bet they use Wes Eisold's blood instead and claim it's their own.

[skreamline]

Oh God...

[MKEcasey]

He wrote that the drawing of their own blood would serve to "[shed] some light on the much-needed support for blood drives."

Shouldn't the blood be donated then instead of used on posters?

I do commend them for raising blood donor awareness.

[FrostedFlames]

Shouldn't they donate the blood then? I mean I love fob, but some of these stunts are just over the top. It seems like there are much better ways to promote blood donations.

[Sundrop]

This comes from Pete's tour journal on the FOB site.

"Also, were going to be running a series of contests. One is an ode to KISS. My brother is ging to make 45 prints based on images from our record. Each will be hand numbered and individually made. In addition, all prints will have a mixture of each member of the bands blood in it. Maybe this will even shed some light on the much needed support for blood drives. We will be giving away a print on stage every night."

I'm sure it's like one drop of blood. Big deal!!

Agreed

[keeplioving]

odd

[rikfrommf]

I'm sorry, but I read this and laughed. I think its awesome. Who else would do that? I mean really. I think its funny. I would totally do that, and i'm sad they thought of it first. Chill out kids. Don't judge.

[CrenshawPunch]

Wow, thats pretty lame.

[Jason Tate]

A drop of blood in some ink should be donated? Why would you donate a drop?

[norarae]

whats wrong with you guys??? i think it'll be awesome!
but i do have to admit it is kinda strange...but still i bet everyone of you guys will be
out purchasing them as soon as they are released. its interesting stuff.

[Rizzox58]

thats fucking sick.

[norarae]

I'm sorry, but I read this and laughed. I think its awesome. Who else would do that? I mean really. I think its funny. I would totally do that, and i'm sad they thought of it first. Chill out kids. Don't judge.


thankyou! we are the only ones who seem to think so. and jason...
i think its a good idea, its obviously going to get people interested.

[bellaregazza]

this may be pathetic and unbelievable...but this isn't the first time it's been done by artists

[Jason Tate]

thankyou! we are the only ones who seem to think so. and jason...

I just don't see why people are freaking out ... it's a tribute to KISS and to raise awareness for Blood Drives; I'm not getting why this is becoming an "OMG ef those guys" moment.

[Robb]

They didn't think of it first.

[norarae]

but falloutboy being "over the top" is just what they're about. it got you interested.

[AlkalineAvA]

oddd.

[Dan CiTi]

This is why Fall Out Boy is the most hardcore band of all-time.

[love_american_style]

How so?


....well it was untill i found out it's for a cause.

but it's still pretty creepy. all the 13 year old girls will be chomping at the bit for this....thats whats pathetic about it.

[norarae]

and thats what keeps them rolling in the dough. lol. props to them.:clap:

[xDinoCorex]

If I was an insane fan, I'd want this...............I'm not.......

[love_american_style]

and thats what keeps them rolling in the dough. lol. props to them.:clap:

true dat.

[Don Trump]

I'm sorry, but I read this and laughed. I think its awesome. Who else would do that?

KISS?

[Dan CiTi]

I wanna clone Patrick to use as a cuddle bear!

[rachealh]

i think that the government secretly hired fall out boy (robots made by scientists for the government to coherse or brainwash "the people" through their musique. they are made of metal and brawn. they will;-) come for you!) to kill us through biological warfare! it would create widespread panic!

i fear for everyone!

[mpw]

do they think they're slayer now?

next album art,

a guy carves "Fall Out Boy" on his arms.

[Iamhome]

It's not that big of a deal. People need to give blood. I will give blood next time I have the opportunity - there are no drugs in my bloodstream / I just got tested and I'm clean!! w00t!

[falloutboy.]

its effing hardXcore is what it is.

[Dan CiTi]

TOO HXC!!!

[tom_wim]

hmm, this is slightly odd, it strikes me a little bit to much of a publicity stunt, but fair play for raising awarness for blood drives I just think there are better ways to do it, free entry to a gig or meet and greet for everyone that gives blood would seem like a better way to do it.

[music_is_my_boy]

i think its a great idea! its getting everyone interested and is making people think about donating blood. Kinda odd but still kool. Kudos to them

[jd195527]

Good attitude - this is basically what i thought, too. It's hilarious, and kind of campy, like anything that references KISS. I sort of hope they videotape themselves drawing the blood, actually - that could be played up for maximum humor and would be another way to get kids psyched before the next tour.

[candleguy1142]

I bet they use Wes Eisold's blood instead and claim it's their own.



lolz?

[Sundrop]

You can't buy them. They're giving them away on the Honda Civic Tour.

Free entry for giving blood sounds great except that a lot of their fans are under 18. Therefore, they can't give blood. You also have to weigh at least 120 lbs.

On second thought, that might be a good way to get rid of a lot of teenies that go to their shows.

[mick2late]

Panic! At The Disco?! :-0 Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[emerypearl]

uh, wow. gross

[chelsea__]

thats...uh...weird.
but whatev.

[captainamazing4]

lol, this is quite weird. but hey, its fall out boy schtuff fer sure

[secretemily]

that's pretty disgusting.

[Lehcar]

ewww

sadly, a lot of girls, and maybe some dudes, would like this.

...you can give blood of you're under 18. 16 with parental consent. And 110 lbs. At least in Oregon.

way to be logical and say something smart..

[l3m]

thats weird. alot of people have the thirst for blood now a days.

[Killer Thriller]

what? isnt it T-shirts? creepy, but cool. why would you ever put blood on posters, when you could on t-shirts?

[12:46AM]

This was only cool when KISS did it.

KISS?winners. kudos on knowing something other than stupid scene pop-punk garbage.

[MKEcasey]

A drop of blood in some ink should be donated? Why would you donate a drop?

I didn't know how much blood was being used in the ink. If it is just a drop then yeah, I think it is cool. I am a KISS fan myself. Like I said in my post, I commend them for raising awareness.

[emokid333]

that's interisting

[x3Ameex3]

lol, i read that on their site. i think its pretty cool

[1958 fury]

has marilyn manson recently joined the band?

and that blood donation thing is so freaken backwards

[crmt19]

kiss already did that about 30 years ago in their comic books....

[norarae]

oh. well you know what i mean.

hahaha:-D

[norarae]

If Fall Out Boy were going to raise awareness about something, couldn't it be 3rd-world debt, or spousal abuse, or something definitely helpful??? I can just see 26-year olds laying in hospital beds 10 years from now saying "Screw FOB, I got Hep C from a transfusion..."

And don't give me any "This isn't 1987" BS, I work in a lab, and transfusions are FAR from safe. VERY FAR. Why anyone would want to promote a practice that medical progress is leaving far in the dust is beyond me.


at least their trying.

[yourSOscene]

that whole idea is just a lil gross....yuck
