Why, God, WHY?

[rosiedoes]

its been a bit. my apologies. we have been in indonesia and the phillipines. internet was not as readily available. we have been everywhere in the world this year- ruining peoples fun everywhere. its strange to sit back and think about sometimes- cos we are just some crappy dudes from the midwest... we arent some put together boyband. its kind of insane when you thnk about it. thank you for the adventure.

in all honesty we cant wait to get back to the states and play some shows. the one we have ready for YWT is gonna be crazy, got some ideas we have never messed with before. and i know i am always saying on here that we have some crazy suprise planned but then i dont tell the suprise- so here's one: we are going to play a couple of secret shows on the tour- duh whats new- but we are going to be playing only take this to your grave songs at these shows. keep your ears to the ground, we are going to keep these very secret.

in addition, were opening the first clandestine store in chicago. being the hometown, i want this to be a place people can hang out before shows or before you go and buy s&m goth gear over at the alley or whatever- so weve got some old video arcade games and other cool stuff to do while your girlfriend's friend's little sister tries on clothes. we are gonna have a couple of items that will only be available in the store- but if you have any ideas let us know.... also, let us know if there are any songs you really wanna hear us play on the YWT.

patrick and i will be doing in store signings for fender at guitar stores in california and chicago on the tour- october 9 at sam ash on sunset blvd. in hollywood, oct. 21 at sam ash in buffalo grove, il. more info on that soon.

weve been writing songs like crazy. contrary to the heavy blogging- the new record is not gonna be a folk record. its gonna be raprock.

blah.



take care of your fingers. give em a rest from the keyboard now and again.

*cries* NO, PETE, NO!

I swear this had better be a joke.

i completely did not even notice that, i was so excited about the secret shows.

now that i have...idk, i am caught somewhere between hysterical laughter, confusion, and a little bit of NONONONOOOOO.

[heyginger.livejournal.com]

This is horrifying, but also hilarious.

Like, if it were true, I'd laugh, and cry, and laugh. And cry.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

I'd cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry...

Who the fuck are they going to get to rap for them? SRSLY?

You can't tour an album full of guest appearances.

I'm going to believe this is Pete being a dick for now.

[heyginger.livejournal.com]

It would just be so, crazily stupid. Just totally, ridiculously dumb. A complete train wreck.

Then, someday, on some VH1's "Has-Beens of the 00's" show they'd have a clip about FOB, about their meteoric rise to fame, and how it all came crashing down when they made the dubious decision to put out a raprock record. And Hal Sparks would mock them, mercilessly. And that Joel Stein guy who's always on those VH1 shows.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Who exactly would do the rapping? Srsly? Joe? Because it can't for the love of fuck be Wentz, and Patrick may be capable of many vocal feats, but this is not one of them.

And you can't tour an album of guest appearances.

[heyginger.livejournal.com]

Sir Mixx-A-Lot.

I hear you. I think I'm just laughing because that's always my first reaction to horrifying news. Seriously, I laugh at funerals.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

THIR MIKTH A LOT.

For theriouth.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

o__O

No, just no.

[azrielen.livejournal.com]

That is most def a joke. LOL. Because the only things that could possibly be funnier than Pete rapping is PATRICK rapping. *falls over laughing*

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

timbaland disproved that first point.

kanye would do it, rihanna, travie...i get this feeling they could rope in jay-z and diddy if they wanted to.

then again, they are an infrastructured band.

oh, oh, hysterical laughter won out: Joe rapping "The Pot Rock"?

COME ON I LOVE IT NOW.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

No, no, no - THE TROH RAPPING. For theriouth.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Er, no.

[azrielen.livejournal.com]

Ladieth and gentlemen
Thnaketh ith thlitherin'
Wit dolla thignth in they eyeth
And tongueth tho reptillian

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Oh, how I hope.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

No, no - Ladieth and gentlemen, thethe, thnakes ith like... thlivverin an' thtuff... and then, like... they had thethe dollar thignth in their eyeth and thit. And it wath kind of like awethome. Can I thow you my guitarth?

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

well, okay, fine, i understand your consternation but i highly doubt they'd ever spring from such a comfort zone into this way out there genre.

idk, i'm having fun with it, although i can tell now my sense of humor is a little off-kilter, haha.

i don't think they're above having cameos by them, as in the people i mentioned above, in some of the album.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

Um. Dirty did the SOAP rap at a few shows :/

[xcarex.livejournal.com]

Unless like everysinglefuckingtrack is going to be Feat. Tyga & Travis, this absolutely can't happen. Patrick doesn't rap! He has no designs on being the next Fred Durst, either, I'm sure! So omg, Pete has to be kidding.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

BUT! I WOULD PAY TO SEE THIS!!!

AHAHAHAHAHA!

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

If he's not, I think we're really going to have to have a word with them about being in confined and poorly ventilated spaces with Joe...

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

None of those acts would be prepared to join a tour to do one song.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Dirty has quit.

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

thus, the some cameos.

like i said, i'm not really expecting it to go through, but i can completely see them having at least kanye or travis doing a song on the album.

let's say we agree it is a bad idea either way and fall out boy would be better off singing the way they've been singing, albeit pete learning to play a little better would be a welcome change.

that good?

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I read that. And I don't know what would be weirder: Patrick using that voice on a folk record or trying to rap. God knows I love the boy, but either option's a little much.

[babygotbass.livejournal.com]

I know - but they might try and tempt him back with a rapping gig. ACK!

[bigger-tigers.livejournal.com]

Weird....

Even Linkin Park admitted rap-rock was dead and that was their gimmick!

If they turn into GCH I will shit my pants!

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

I'll just cocoon myself in denial and not buy the album until they wake up and remember they're not black.

[astrocigarettes.livejournal.com]

LIES. There are gas stations and coffee shops and other WiFi hotspots up the wazoo here. Also, Pete, you spelled the name of our country wrong.

Um. Sorry. I've been lurking your lj awhile because your fics with Joe in them are made of the most awesome sauce. Thank you very much for writing them, and writing them so well.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading them! XD

[vivalachipmunks.livejournal.com]

y'all act like you never seen a white person before

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

"Yes! I am short and very pale!"

[vivalachipmunks.livejournal.com]

sarcasm, motherfucker, do you speak it?

the point was that rap is not "black people music". that pov is ignorant at best.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

I do. You clearly don't. Bye bye, now.

[dandy-fetish.livejournal.com]

Which is an interesting assertion, considering you were the one who missed the sarcasm in Pete's original post.

Oh well, guess you can't win them all.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Tsk tsk.

Another one with no sense of humour, another one banned. Bye then.

[impertinence.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Hi!

Dude, the quote was an Eminem lyric. You know, the white guy who raps? Rap isn't a black people genre.

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Yes, dude, I know. I owned that album until I gave it to my brother. My original post, and all subsequent comments were made with my tongue and just about every other on the planet, firmly in cheek.

Because I'm English, and we actuall do get the concept of sarcasm.
