That is fucking awesome.

And then I'll hear things from people where it's like, "Oh your band's great but I hate your bass player" and I'm like, then you just said you hate our band cause I don't fucking care. He's my best friend. Obviously he's still in the band for a reason, it's not like I'm waiting for someone to go "Oh yeah, you know, Pete sucks" and I'll go like "Yes! Thank you, now he's totally fired!" No, he's my best friend and he's absolutely important. He's invaluable. I wouldn't be here without him. I'll hear things like, "Your voice is great but Pete's really lame" and it's like, well, Pete's the only guy who got me to sing. I wasn't a singer until Pete saw it in me. So I don't particularly see value in me being a singer but he does and he's always my cheerleader, trying to keep me going. So I am the musician I am pretty much because of Pete. And I'm not even saying I'm that great a musician. I'm saying if there's anyone that thinks I am, all the thanks goes to Pete. So that's one thing that bothers me a lot and I don't think people really understand fully.

That's a really awesome quote. I'm glad Patrick said something about this. The hatred towards FOB because of Pete is ridiculous. I can't figure out what he did to deserve so much hate. He just seems like a generally fun and cool guy.

Ok? I'm saying I like Patricks voice and would love to see him where all the attention was on him. None of that drama shit. I just enjoy Patrick's voice. Cool if Petey got him to sing. I think Pete is a tool. That is not what I said at all

I wouldn't be shocked if he continues his musical career as a solo artist/producer.

I might have to check this out.

EDIT: Its only for kids who go there? That's fucking lame.

Hopefully he does do some solo work, someday. I still love him in FOB though, his voice was the reason why I got into their music.

Well this doesn't do the readers of absolutepunk any good... presumably the students are informed about this event through school announcements.

But I think I'd rather be in Chicago hitting the bars on Halloween.

I never realized he was only 4 years older than me, that feels weird

yeah, it's weird to think he only graduated from high school 5 years earlier than me.
