Fall Out Boy Band • Page 123

The fact that they were relegated to B-sides when they could easily take the place of a few songs on FUCT is a huge crime.

 

If I remember right from an old interview on this website, Pete got outvoted for putting Music/Misery on the album and they kept Stiches off because it sounded too much like MCR

 

Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy

I guess it’s because our band is a compromise and some of us were really into it. I feel like the band and management talked Patrick and me out of it. They also kept on “Dark Alley” and I didn’t want that on the record either. Patrick and I would both agree that we wish “Music or the Misery” had been on the record. The reason why we didn’t put “Snitches” on the record is because when it was done I felt that it reminded me too much of My Chem and I didn’t want to throw it on and have people think we wrote a My Chem song.

 

I would happily switch out Music or the Misery with Dark Alley, tbh

 

I would just have both on the album.

 

Glad to see this one made the archive!

 

I looove Dark Alley

 

Dark Alley is probably my favorite song on Cork Tree

 

I still want that b-sides album.

 

I wish, and I know there's probably a billion reasons this can never happen, but I wish that bands would just make a running playlist for their B-sides on streaming, and just add to it whenever they have new songs that aren't on albums.

Basically I just want all of a band's music in one place, and it pains me that it will never happen.

 

If you have Apple Music you can edit the data to do that!

Here’s mine for example

 

Random observation but I've noticed that people in "the industry" like Pete in that quote and Hayley Williams recently all call MCR "My Chem" but I've never heard a fan of theirs call them that, always just MCR

 

This is Jason Tate erasure.

 

I feel like that's just talking out loud (My chem) versus typing (MCR). I've never said MCR out loud, but used it here plenty of times. Out loud I always say My Chem but have never called them MCR out loud

 

fucking hell folie a deux is such a good album

I only call them mcr on here because that seems to be what people do, americans and their damn initialisations. it's My Chem for life, and pretty much all my friends that like them call them that too.

 

Coming home from the ER just now for my kid and we had the Disney Sirius CSM channel on and Patrick’s Spider Man soundtrack song came on… never knew he did that.

 

Same, it's one of the best they've ever done.

 

yeah I cannot imagine the record without Dark Alley (which is a much, much better song than music or the misery imo)

 

Yeah, Dark Alley isn't allowed to go anywhere, very much essential to that album.

 

New song out on apple music

 

I should be more excited for all this new music, but I feel like I've moved on from this band...and it makes me kinda sad.

 

2/2 so far, hyped for this album

 

First single had a delay on Apple Music. Second has a delay on Spotify.

Is this a strategy I'm not familiar with? The idea being to create "demand" from users on the delayed platform?

 

Not as big on "Heartbreak Feels So Good." This feels more in-line with the post-SRAR stuff that couldn't grab me.

 

i havent listened to Fall Out Boy in 10+ years (I gave Save R&R a couple listens but didnt do a ton for me), but these 2 new songs are absolute bangers. really feeling this
