friends…

[boing-o]

does anyone 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 have a link to the "my mom's a feminist" interview? where they talk about filming the "I Don't Care" video? I've been quoting it for long enough for it to become part of my vocabulary but I can't find it.

Fall Out Boy Music Interviews

I made a list with interviews centred around their music

(this is a simplification, it goes a lot into the making and doing of a band and their music, oftentimes social aspects for example don’t get enough credit in my opinion, an aspect that I am impressed with how fob handles it)

new andy interview!

[andoutofharm]

andy attempts to activate drummer to drummer communication with patrick by speaking in drum beats. slightly dubious results.

[andoutofharm]

other highlights from that new interview in no particular order:

the interviewer asked how joe was doing and he said he feels good and is glad to be there, and they had a round of applause for him and patrick patted his shoulder

everything with pete’s bunny puppet

patrick really doesn’t like the term “hiatus” and the way people talk about because they were all really still a band, and he mentioned he and pete would send “bad songs” they wrote to each other during that time

they took so long to make this album that at one point patrick’s neighbor asked him if he was still in a band

at the show last night the wind was blowing the wrong way for the flamethrower bass and pete realized he has “no pyrotechnic skills at all”

patrick talked about the acoustic guitar parts joe wrote for fake out and how that really brought the whole song together

re: repeating ginasfs - pete said once songs have been revealed by the 8 ball they are eligible to be played again, so literally anything is possible

he doesn’t always like giving his interpretation or “meaning” for lyrics (he then turned the question over to the rabbit puppet)

a fan gave them friendship bracelets at the end and andy put all of them on his own wrist

pete on the RATS podcast highlights:

(you have to have an amazon account to listen, pete comes in around the 19 minute mark)

pete intentionally wears all his layers on stage because he kind of likes feeling uncomfortable on stage but it’s also a “safety” thing (his therapist calls it his linus blanket)

pete would rather be texted before people call him and people calling/facetiming him out of the blue stresses him out

pete has taylor swift’s phone number but does not have any of metallica’s phone numbers and he does have drake’s phone number but saved it as a different name so he wouldnt text him

the only place pete uses his “wizard powers” is telling his kids he and his brother know everything and if they ask him something he doesnt know he says his brother knows that

pete says the teleportation trick was designed by a magician they hired and the rehearsals were very funny

re the dog: he knows the dog is named blitz!

saint did the art for the blitz backdrop! saint would watch the show to see his art and then leave

pete designed the stage background: jim henson and labyrinth were a big part of the inspiration - he wanted the stage to have depth and texture and be tangible in contrast to how digital so many things are. he wanted it to have a childlike feeling, and specifically wanted his kid to draw/design parts so it isn’t sticking to the “rules” adults bring to art they try to draw (especially when trying to draw “like” a kid)

favorite songs to play right now: heaven iowa (because it’s new), and the magic 8 ball because it pushes them and gives spontaneity and sometimes they mess up (but he implies this just adds to the excitement and pushes them out of their comfort zones)

the 27 leak on RATS jersey was accidental! they say it was maybe pete’s wizard powers/she manifested it/maybe she has wizard powers too

RATS is having a headline tour this fall! It’ll be their first one!

pete would love to learn more magic tricks but is also a little stressed by them
