Do you like Fall Out Boy?

[twoodcc]

it seems like Fall Out Boy is very popular, and thought i'd make a pole to see who actually likes them around here.

[psychofreak]

Noooo...I saw one song at Reading last year, and thought I could give 'em a chance, even though recorded they sound dreadful...

[Kwyjibo]

I've actually been a FOB fan for years. (Chicago kids, I saw them playing dive clubs way back when ...)

I've heard their new CD and right now I prefer the two before that ... maybe I'm just used to those cds.

[lu0s3r322]

i think they're ok. ive got one cd of them and some of the songs are just terrible while others are pretty good.

some of their videos are weird too.

[twoodcc]

i personally like most of their songs, but it seems i can't always understand what they're saying :confused:

but i do like the lead singer's voice

[puckhead193]

eh, their popular punk.....

[Osarkon]

Nothing particularly amazing, the popularity seems to be through the bassist. A few good songs, but in general not that good.

[MalcolmJID]

They're alright :)

[bartelby]

Gods NO!!!

Utter rubbish, like all the other Nu-Emo crap!

[twoodcc]

Nothing particularly amazing, the popularity seems to be through the bassist. A few good songs, but in general not that good.

yeah, they were number 1 album on itunes pretty quick. and their last album was number 1 as well for awhile

[zap2]

They have a few good songs, but nothing that is great...there are better new bands(90s and 2000s), and tons of better old bands(60s and 70s)

[®îçhå®?]

They are alright. Some of the songs are bearable whereas others arent

[iJon]

I used to like them back in the high school days and maybe my first year in college. Then I ventured out and seeked out real music. Now FOB sounds like a bunch of kids screaming in my ears.

The part I find interesting though is I can somewhat listen to the songs I used to like. Anything new they have made (or any other band similar to FOB) makes my ears bleed.

jon

[it5five]

Gods NO!!!

Utter rubbish, like all the other Nu-Emo crap!

Seconded. I can't even tell all of these bands apart from one another. All sounds the same to me.

[twoodcc]

does anyone know how they came up with their name?

[bartelby]

does anyone know how they came up with their name?

A quick check on Wiki:

* The name "Fall Out Boy" was chosen when the band asked the crowd in their second show what their name should be and an audience member shouted out "Fallout Boy," the name of superhero Radioactive Man's sidekick on the animated TV show The Simpsons. The band was unaware of the Simpsons reference until later. When the creators of the Simpsons found out about Fall Out Boy's name, the band feared that they would be sued; however, no legal action about the name has ever been taken.


So they couldn't even think of a name themselves!

[Kwyjibo]

I had an interesting conversation when I was a freshman in college. One person looked through my itunes and told me every piece of music I had was complete crap. This kid was a blow hard about music.

I thought about this ...

And I thought some more ...

and I realized that it doesn't really matter what the guy next to you thinks of the music you like. Hopefully you like music because it appeals to something you look for or your relate to lyrics or you just enjoy the entertainment.

It doesn't matter if bands get popular ... hell one of my favorite bands lucky boys confusion, will never hit the national stage. That doesn't bother me for a second and it doesn't' decrease my enjoyment of their music.

I seem really defensive, and I am but I mean at the end of the day I stopped caring what everyone else thinks about my music

i used to like them not so much any more. But i wouldn't start gouging out my ears if i had to listen to them, unlike that rap crap.

Fully agreed. I have people look through my music collection and say WTF cause of all the goofy music I have.

There is a reason why we don't share ears.

[Kwyjibo]

Those references are a little bit lost on me ...

If we're talking about the millions of people that love sexy back or fergilicious ... umm I don't really like those songs ... but I don't really care who does. I have to hear them all the time ... but it don't make opinions about the millions of people who like em' either.

well said iJon

But they are the anomalies that prove the rule. ;)

Busted and McFly are ****. Everyone knows that, silly billys.

As to Fall Out Boy, I've never heard of them (except the Simpsons character), but it might be something I'd like, given the reactions here... ;)

[TheDance511]

...In my opinion... I do not like them at all. I mean you had guys like Jimmy Paige, Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, KURT COBAIN, Flea, Les Claypool, Sonic youth, Sound Garden, Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses, The Vines... All of them with their own message and their own distinct sound... You can hear their pain and their happiness... And then you have your bands like Fall Out Boy who just come onto the scene one day with no talent.. just listen to the guitar and the bass it is horrible...My 5 year old cousin is a better Guitarist than whoever plays in Fall Out boy... I think music is art and self expression and is more than just making money... The CD's are just so I would say Filtered or Doctored up...They would not even compare to a live performance and to me it is more of a culture than actual musical expression... I know there are people out there that love Fall Out Boy... Good for them.. But I will listen to and create art while you listen to them rape everything Rock N' Roll is. I remember when rock was a way to say hey ***** you man! It was a way to rebel and a way of expression. But With bands like Fall Out Boy... It just makes it a joke... To me they are dead. I LOVE APPLE!:apple:

[PreacherKane]

I've heard a few of their songs and they are o.k. I personally wouldn't buy they albums but somebody must be. :rolleyes:
They run the risk of blending in with the rest of the EMO crowd, (Panic at the Disco, My chemical Romance, Ok GO et al), but I suppose the bass player is the girlies favourite.;)

Markleshark, haven't you been to the year 3000? Not much has changed but they live underwater.:D

If you like them, your mod status should be removed...and you should spend the time you do on macrumors instead beating yourself with sticks which have thorns stuck to them...not that I am against those who like pop-crap...

Ok GO
Ok Go aren't Emo, they're actually pretty good IMO (well, they have some good stuff, but the albums are full of fillers)

[twoodcc]

i'm surprised that's how they got their name.

i wonder if they name their songs? the names are pretty far out there

[OwlsAndApples]

I really dislike Fall Out Boy, they're like the English version - the Kooks (shudder)! :eek:

I heard their new stuff in HMV the other day, I just can't stand the stuff.

[twoodcc]

after watching one of their videos, i'm surprised to see how they look. they seem kinda dorky really. i still like their songs, but not quite as much as i did for some reason

[twoodcc]

well i'm actually going to see them in concert next weekend. (for free)

[xUKHCx]

I personally loath them. The only difference between them and boy bands is that they 'play' their own instruments and turn up the volume.

[twoodcc]

I personally loath them. The only difference between them and boy bands is that they 'play' their own instruments and turn up the volume.

I mainly like their fast tempo. I also like the sound of their voice, even though you can't understand them half the time. Their lyrics are out there though

[tammy418]

I like them, actually i'm going to one of their concerts next thursday and I like all the other band playing too. The only set back is that I heard the venue is all GA so I'm going to have to fight my way to the barricade...

[Chrismcfall]

Yeah I like them. First album is the best though.

[FullCollapse]

"take this to your grave" is where it's at. their other stuff is alright. i saw them when they were touring for their first album, and they were awesome live. i'm sure that hasn't changed.

[psychofreak]

Dreadful IMO, recorded, live and in recordings of concerts!

[iJon]

Dreadful IMO, recorded, live and in recordings of concerts!

Haha, Amen!

jon

[xUKHCx]

I mainly like their fast tempo. I also like the sound of their voice, even though you can't understand them half the time. Their lyrics are out there though

It is pretty easy to hear the lyrics in their songs.

"Love will tear us apart" -absolutely murdered a classic with whiney vocals.
"Dance Dance" - lyrics hardly way out there
"I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me" and "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"" - screams of trying too hard to be cool and comes across as immature.

The songs are about teenage angst, partying, love. Nothing profound, which isn't my problem in particular, it is that the are trying to tie in with punk/post punk while doing these empty songs along with the try hardness.

[latergator116]

They sound horrible. I've read a few interviews with Pete Wentz (lead man) and he comes across as a real *******.

[Dagless]

Gods NO!!!

Utter rubbish, like all the other Nu-Emo crap!

*agrees*

I'm only 21 and already "nu" music just fuses together into 1 giant mass of clone music.

[rockosmodurnlif]

Gods NO!!!

Utter rubbish, like all the other Nu-Emo crap!

Nu-Emo? When did emo get old enough to have nu shoved on it? Is that some melding of nu-metal and emo? Nu-metal isn't even a genre of music. And emo is a subdivision of punk. Please stop making up new genres.

...In my opinion... I do not like them at all. I mean you had guys like Jimmy Paige, Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, KURT COBAIN, Flea, Les Claypool, Sonic youth, Sound Garden, Aerosmith, Guns n' Roses, The Vines...

I remember when rock was a way to say hey ***** you man! It was a way to rebel and a way of expression. But With bands like Fall Out Boy... It just makes it a joke... To me they are dead. I LOVE APPLE!:apple:

Yea, rock and roll stopped rebelling a long time ago. It liked making money and still does.

Fall Out Boy is alright. I liked that "Number One with a Bullet" song but that got pretty old pretty fast for me. I wouldn't worry about people on here liking them, there are a fair amount of music elitists on this board so unless you like what they like, it sucks and you're a corporate stooge. I should know I'm an elitist too. Do you like Radiohead? Cause I think they suck. :)

[twoodcc]

"take this to your grave" is where it's at. their other stuff is alright. i saw them when they were touring for their first album, and they were awesome live. i'm sure that hasn't changed.

yeah i like that album also.

Dreadful IMO, recorded, live and in recordings of concerts!

come on, give them a chance. like i said, i mainly like them for their tempo. keeps me up on my way to work in the morning. and the vocals i do like, even though you can't understand it all.

when i first heard them i didnt like them either. but after listening to them more, i started to like them more.

and i think i read that "Dance, Dance" was a big hit in the UK

[Shotgun OS]

I personally think they're horrible. I can't stand the vocalist or the lyrics, and most songs sound the same to me. I'd rather listen to Nightwish, or even MCR.

[psycoswimmer]

I used to like some of their old stuff, but I don't listen to them at all anymore.

Misheard Lyrics (http://youtube.com/watch?v=LucfKdukf10)

[Warbrain]

Do I listen to them as much I used to? No. But do I still support them for the most part. Yes. They're my hometown boys, I saw them start in the Scene and grow out of it.

[iTeen]

i love them...just went to their concert last week...so sound like crap live however

[steviem]

I think they serve they're purpose.

I was really into them with their early material, like Take This to Your Grave. Evening Out With Your Girlfriend and From Under The Cork Tree are good albums (ones technically an EP but who cares) and they are one of my most listened to bands.

You can hear their style change through the albums, and really their sound is now 'Accessible Pop Rock' that kids can get into easily and learn more about music.

Blink 182 used to serve that purpose, then here in the UK it was bands like Busted (eugh!) so I'm sort of glad that FOB's style has evolved how it has. My little cousin is beginning to like them, and pretty soon he'll be able to appreciate some of the older punk/emo/hardcore/post hardcore that I have on my iPod

[hexonxonx]

There is no option for "Never heard of them" so I can't vote.

[cbrain]

I Can't Stand Them.

[twoodcc]

I personally think they're horrible. I can't stand the vocalist or the lyrics, and most songs sound the same to me. I'd rather listen to Nightwish, or even MCR.

i will say that a lot of their songs do sound similar.

i love them...just went to their concert last week...so sound like crap live however

i'm going this weekend. hopefully they'll sound better for me

[twoodcc]

so i went to their concert last night. also had The Plain White Ts, and Gym Class Heros.

it was alright, but wasn't great or anything. the lead singer of fall out boy didn't sound as good. he's also kinda dorky too, if you ask me.

it was hard to understand what they were saying also. i don't regret going or anything. i enjoyed it. but it wasn't even sold out or anything.

[Oirectine]

Needs to be a "never heard them" option, unless you count Milhouse.

[twoodcc]

Needs to be a "never heard them" option, unless you count Milhouse.

sorry. you could check them out though. wouldn't hurt ;)

[GSMiller]

FOB sounds alright on their CD but sound HORRIBLE in person. There's no way I would pay to see one of their live performances.

[twoodcc]

FOB sounds alright on their CD but sound HORRIBLE in person. There's no way I would pay to see one of their live performances.

i'd have to agree. at least i had a free ticket though. and Patrick Stump looked like a slim Chris Farley on stage. :eek:

They're okay. But uhh, overrated.

[AppleNinja]

im going to their concer with gym class heros nov 17th =D

[Scarlet Fever]

FoB are a bunch of posers. The lead singer looks like a tosspot. I prefer My Chemical Romance over them, and that's saying a lot about how much i despise them.

I used to like some of their old stuff, but I don't listen to them at all anymore.

that tickles my funny bones :D

[macintouch]

I've actually been a FOB fan for years. (Chicago kids, I saw them playing dive clubs way back when ...)




Yup...same here. Saw them for the first time way back in August of 2003 at Wicker Park Street Festival. Since them I've seen them 19 times and I'll be seeing them a 20th time in Vegas on Dec 2nd.

They're truly amazing guys. Alot of **** is talked about them, but they really are a genuine group of musicians that know where they came from.

Did you hear the rumor about them coming back to play Knights of Columbus? That'd be sweeeeeet.

[twoodcc]

im going to their concer with gym class heros nov 17th =D

cool. the one i went to had gym class heros and plain white t's

[user13]

I Can't Stand Them.The same. Whimpery stuff:)

[twoodcc]

The same. Whimpery stuff:)

i wouldn't quite call it that. i know some will hate them and all, i don't love them or anything, but i do like the fast-paced music.

Not a fan. Don't like Hats. Have a friend who play all types of music at work. i listen to most of it and like it well enough, but sometimes i have to walk over and skip songs because they are truley bad. most of the time it is Blink or Fall out Boy. Man, some music is just hard to appreciate.

come on guys.....they aren't that bad. you can't deny that the lead singer is pretty impressive. he joined the band as a drummer, they found out he could sing, put him as the lead singer, and then he learned to play guitar. i'd say that's pretty good

I have absolutely no idea why you'd think anyone in that band is impressive. That's not just me not liking them or having a biased opinion because they're all pussies that make bad music and are popular for it. There's nothing impressive about their lead singer. There are a lot of people that can sing and play multiple instruments and still make bad music. And yes, they are that bad, and worse.

Even you said that he sounded awful live, the true test of a singer.

have you actually listened to him sing? even if you have, listen to the song "Golden", and then come back

Major flaw in your argument here "they found out he could sing".


Even you said that he sounded awful live, the true test of a singer.

no, he can sing. but as far as live, maybe he just hasn't figured out how to perform in that environment. but it wasn't just him, all the bands there were hard to understand.

[CRAZYBUBBA]

I really don't understand their music. i much prefer some 60's jazz.

[Mac OS X Ocelot]

have you actually listened to him sing? even if you have, listen to the song "Golden", and then come back

I never said he can't sing. I don't like his sound, but I never said that. I said that he's not impressive and that there are plenty of people that can sing and play multiple instruments and not make ****** music. It's ****** music by music standards (even if not by yours or a lot of other people's).

well clearly you have a biases opinion (we all do, so do i). that's fine if you don't like his sound, i personally do.

but did i mention that he joined the band when he was 17? and that he's the main composer of the music the band makes. and that he is also a producer of movies?

you don't think that's impressive?

don't believe me? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Stump)

Nope. I had the same problem, they're oddly interchangeable in my mind.

Not really.

well, how should i put this......."Good guys don't always wear white."

you probably don't know what that means :rolleyes:

[Mac OS X Ocelot]

well, how should i put this......."Good guys don't always wear white."

you probably don't know what that means :rolleyes:

Nope.

[twoodcc]

Nope.

it's a song by Bon Jovi, but has a much bigger meaning. here are the lyrics:

You say you don't like my kind
A bitter picture in your mind
No, it don't matter what I say
I hear you b*tchin' when I walk away
I'll never be what you want me to be
You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree
I ain't got no apology
Just because I don't look like you, talk like you, think like you
Judge and jury, a hangman's noose
I see them in your eyes

Good guys don't always wear white
You judge a man who don't stand in line
Just because he ain't on your side
You know the man who wears those shoes
If you cut me don't I bleed like you? (You know I do)
I don't know what you've been told
Can't buy guts with a pot o' gold
A rich man's poor if he got no soul
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, king
All that **** don't mean a thing
Do you know which one's behind those eyes?
It's all a disguise


Good guys don't always wear white
Hey baby, whose side you on?
You think you got it all figured out where we belong
Forget all about your dark from light
Day from night
Wrong from right

Good guys don't always wear white

maybe you can figure out what i'm trying to prove here

[Denny Kravitz]

Thank you for posting the story of how they came up with their band name! I will admit that I am an unabashed Fallout Boy Fan, though I still consider myself someone of good musical taste. For naysayers and fans alike, Patrick Stump of FOB's performance on the MTVu Woodie Awards proved his/their crossover power! http://www.mtvu.com/video/?id=1574355

[socialcrawl]

I LOVE FALL OUT BOY, if you like emo-punk rock youll love them.

[Z.Beeblebrox]

In regards to pop music, it has it's place in my music collection. God knows I love the great rock bands with true, honest musical talent and song writing capabilities. But I don't always want deep lyrics and masterful guitar solos. Sometimes I just want to be able to sing along with some catchy hook in a pop song. I think there's a need for simple, disposable pop rock. Sometimes you just need to switch it up and go for style over substance. I can't say I'll ever pay to see FOB live or buy one of their tshirts, but I must admit some of their songs have an irresistable beat. And the lead singer (Patrick Stump) has some really fun collaborations with Gym Class Heroes, which I really like.

[cptpower]

I hate them with a fiery passion!!

[JesLam07]

FOB is an awesome band, if you like that kind of pop punk music, which I do. I'm certianly not ashamed to wear My Fall Out Boy t-Shirt.

[mcnees287]

Fall out boy is a terrible bad people. If you like them then you have a horrible taste in music. Seriously there is such better stuff that this dumb mainstream crap.

[mcnees287]

I'm certianly not ashamed to wear My Fall Out Boy t-Shirt.

you should be, one of the worse bands ever

[tominated]

fallout boy should die in a fire.

If someone can give me a GOOD reason (Not, "OMG!11! selLoutzz!!11!, Mainstream) to hate them, I will. Personally, I don't like where their style has gone. Back in the "Evening Out With Your Girlfriend" and "Take This To Your Grave" days, they were much better. I'm much more into bands like Motion City Soundtrack, Lights Out Dancing (what little they have on iTunes), and the rest of Fueled by Ramen's (FOB's Label) bands.

EDIT: I will say though, at 15, I can drum about as well as their drummer (Though the outtakes on iTunes are much better drumwise) and compose much more complex songs than them.

Oh yeah, is that right?

What Bands do you listen to mcness287?

Just because we like different genres doesn't mean my music is bad. I think you have a bad attitude for the crap that you just said. Seriously, stop going in threads just to bash something. That's stupid and pathetic. Get a Life.

fallout boy should die in a fire.

That's a bit uncalled for, don't you think?

This isn't the third grade. We don't wish people would blow up or die in fires.

What are you? A Psycho? I'm thinking Yes.

and what makes them bad people? they support Invisible Children. what do you support? it sounds like you are the bad person, with bad taste.

and what makes it mainstream makes it good. if it wasn't good, then it wouldn't be mainstream, now would it?

Um, there's lots of good non-mainstream music and lots of bad mainstream music and vice versa. You listen to music, you know that.

first, i didn't say anything about non-mainstream music.

as far as mainstream music, something had to be good about it, or it never would have made it mainstream.

i mean, what makes mainstream music mainstream?

I really dislike Fall Out Boy, they're like the English version - the Kooks (shudder)! :eek:

I.. couldn't think of a band further away from Fall out boy.

Infact, when I was at reading 2007 earlier this year, I thought some of lostprophet's stuff had fob's sound, oddly.

[marclapierre13]

I used to like them when they were punk.. no "I can't stand them". Stupid pop boy band now

[The Recycle Era]

Got to know them in 2007
But I seem to prefer their newer stuff to their older ones.

And yeah, I like Fall Out Boy's music genre.
They were my most played artist in 2007 thnks to "Thanks for the Memories"

[ZMRoach]

fall out boy is one of my most despised bands that are out there right now. i absolutely cannot stand hearing them at all.

[eric55lv]

Love there song just great they just rock out loud

[twoodcc]

just in case no one saw, they were featured on apple.com

mainly Patrick Stump though. he makes most of his stuff in garageband! i guess that can be good and bad.

[yg17]

So whats your point? I'm sure there are many artists and bands out there that you don't like that have sold more records than Fall Out Boy.


I think they 'effing suck. Just because they've sold a lot of records doesn't change my opinion.

[togermano]

riiight. that's why they've sold so many records.....:rolleyes:

So what 50 cent sold even more records then them and hes far from good
