Here is Patrick Stump singing Say It Ain’t So in 2002 by Weezer, a band Fall Out Boy would go on tour with alongside Green Day nearly 20 years later. Thank you to Brandon Dermer for sending us the full clip! It’s really awesome to see this VERY early footage of Patrick singing. The show was at Little Italian Pizza in Buffalo Grove, IL, a place known for having gigs. Patrick is performing with Cellar Door (brandon dermer’s band). They went by other names including Ender & Morning Scene and actually toured with FOB back in the early days.

THE SONG THAT GOT PATRICK STUMP INTO FALL OUT BOY:

Fall Out Boy fans interested in the band’s early history may know that Patrick was “auditioned” for the band by Joe and Pete because Patrick had sent Joe some MP3 files of solo songs he had worked on. For a long time, what exactly these songs were was a complete mystery to fans. With the research that we and our FOBAT Discord server members have conducted, we now are extremely close to finding the audio for one of these songs. Watch to learn about the history of the song itself and the search surrounding it.

Shoutout to @glassslipping for getting Patrick to talk about this! Although he doesn’t mention the song by name in the clip, we know it’s been on his mind to begin with ;) Also a special shoutout to our server member Jamie for providing some of the earliest info in this search.
