Fall Out Boy Q&A
Hello, My Name Is Patrick
Q&A with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump
IE: We last talked to you guys before From Under The Cork Tree came out, and we heard Fall Out Boy have done pretty well. When do the solo albums come out?
Patrick Stump: I know you’re joking, but I’ve gotten that question seriously before, or they’ll ask us who we want to collaborate with, and it’s like, ‘I don’t know. There’s four of us . . . I kind of like playing with these dudes.’ There’s Juelz Santana, Ne-Yo. He’s writing some stuff right now. We could all get together and have a pow-wow.
IE: Are there ways you’ve recognized you can use your power for good?
PS: Now we’re in arenas and girls assume it’s the right time and place to show their breasts. That’s not what we’re into. I mean, we’re into breasts, they’re great and all, but it’s one of those things where we have enough respect for our audience and ourselves not to be interested in people being naked or stupid at our shows.
IE: Well, you have experience coming from hardcore shows where there’s that one guy who’s not into the music and just wants to kick some ass.
PS: Right. That guy comes to Fall Out Boy shows still and we have just as much sympathy for him now as we did then.
IE: If you could take someone else’s role in the band, whose would it be?
PS: I like singing a lot, but I don’t like being out front. I just like the physical act of singing. So, for that respect I’d kind of like to be a drummer again — that’s what I started out doing. So maybe I’d trade with Andy [Hurley]. Andy’s got a nice little voice.
IE: Are you still just a boy from the North Shore with a dream?
PS: Totally. I live in Glenview still and it’s the same old story altogether. It’s funny we’re doing this, because I always pick up IE whenever I’m at Guitar Center.
IE: Oh, um, now that we know that, we’ll try not to make fun of you guys as much.
PS: Please. I will end up reading it.
Fall Out Boy return to the UIC Pavilion on May 15th as headliners of The Black Clouds & Underdogs Tour with All-American Rejects.
Hey, first of all, I totally love you Patrick! Second, I love that you still live in your hometown and didn’t go packing your bags and heading for LA. It shows that you’re not afraid of where you’re from. I’ll definitely try to hunt you down now when I’m in the neighborhood this week. Don’t worry. Kidding.
Fall Out Boy has literally saved my life many times.
If they end up reading these comments, i just wanted to say thank you.

ello!i just want 2 say somethings.1.HI IM KYLIE AND I LIKE MUFFINS!2.patrick stump is hott!3.umm……….i forgotted what i was going 2 say.
FOB is an amazing band. I’ve been listening to you guys not as long as some fans, but a pretty long time and I’m surprised that I’m not sick of your music yet. Your music has definitely gotten me through some things and Patrick has the greatest voice of all time. That’s all I can really think to type right now. Sorry if I sounded totally out of it.
hello patrick,
im a big fan of falloutboy n absolutly love you and pete!!
ive saw u loads and loads and stood right by pete !! he looked soooooo cute!! lv yas!¬! (andy is ugly)
hope ur all ok talk soon
lv yas
i just want you to know that fall out boy has ruined my life. now, i can’t even listen to any other music, because it’s not fall out boy. the singer’s voice is crap in comparison to patrick’s, the lyrics are trite and shallow compared to petes… the music doesn’t have that special spark, or life that fall out boy’s has. so they’ve ruined my life, and i’m addicted/obsessed, but you know what? i wouldn’t have it any other way. thank you soooooo much and i love you guys to death!!!
((especially andy and joe, they’re awesome guys and they don’t get the credit they deserve, although i do love patrick and peter too =]))
hi do you have a screen name yall fall out boy is so asome i wont to marrie the band
love bye
i luv fall out boy!!!!!!!!!!!!….they rock…..pete…u r sooooooooooooooooooo hot!!!…..(peter panda)…patrick… also hot!!!….(stumpy)…joe…hot… (run forman run)…andy…i just dont know bout u…ur a hard person to figur out…but i luv u all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi. Just wanted to say ever since i’ve been listening to fall out boy -i’ve really wanted to meet patrick – he is so cool, lucky and hot – and pete is also – he is funny in many ways. Joseph is way too hyper and eh!! Andrew is awsome, and lucky he gets to play the drums.
Yo yo yo hey hey hey you guys rock I love yooooo! Jamie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I wish Patrick could actually talk to me – *crys*
i actually just started being a fan. When i first heard ‘Sugar We’re going Down’ i swear i heard angels! i know that sounds a little obsessive but its true. You guys have saved me and a number of others from going over to the dark side if you catch my drift *wink wink* um..thats it…oh and patrick! I LOVE YOU! haha but i do love all of you guys equally. Patricks just hot as all of you are talented!
oh and by the way, please let me know if youre playing any shows in the hudson valley area. ive never been to a concert before…i know im deprived. maybe you guys can convince her to let me go! again- i love you guys!
hi patrick you rock
hi i want to be your friend

Hi!
Im glad that you guys have respect for women and that your not afraid of who u r. Thanx Patrick. If you ever read this plz tell the guys Angel Snider said HI.
One of the biggest FOB fans ever here. I know just about everything about fall out boy and patrick. the: (That’s not what we’re into. I mean, we’re into breasts, they’re great and all) part made me laugh. I totally respect the fact that they can look over those stupid girls at shows and pay attention to the real fans. And oh, im still dying to see Patrick beat it up on the drums. It’s one of the many FOB things i have yet to see. Please show soon!
este chico me parece muy lindo… me facina cuando canta. Le deceo mucho exito. De su fanz numero 1 de Chile.
