Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We’re Goin Down
Read the review of the new Fall Out Boy album “Infinity on High”
Song: Sugar, We’re Goin Down
Artist: Fall Out Boy
Album: From Under the Cork Tree
Why This Song? First off, I have had an ear infection for nearly two weeks now, so I really haven’t been listening to too much music. This has been hell for me seeing that is pretty much all I do. However, I think I took my hearing for granted so I have made a resolution to lower the volume of my music to “Reasonable Level” rather than “Ear Bleedingly Loud”.
When I heard that Fall Out Boy was coming out with a new album I was immediately excited and intrigued about if they could pull off an album near as good as their previous, “Take This To Your Grave”. That album was full of irresistable pop-punk songs that begged to be sung along to, no matter how immature or silly. The lyrics had a biting and smart-ass feel to them. Every song was pretty much bitter and angry but sounded like they were made for the radio.
I know, I know. I hate the radio and I hate bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan. There is one fundamental difference between Fall Out Boy and these bands however. Fall Out Boy never claim (or I’ve never heard it) to be anything other than a pop-punk band that writes lyrics about issues. They play music and they never claim to be dark and goth and so “punk” and so deep. FOB don’t cut themselves or talk about killing themselves or hate their parents. It’s not that I hate every band that addresses these topics. Its the fact that bands like GC claim to be “deep” and act like they are the saviors of punk music. News flash…. YOU AREN’T. Get over yourselves. You are kid’s that play music. If you want to make pop music, then SO BE IT. But be proud of what you do, which is make music to make money. I’m sorry GC, but you have made some of the most uncreative, nausea inducing pop music of the new Millenium. You aren’t the Ramones, you aren’t Rancid, you aren’t even up to par with crap like Bowling for Soup. Don’t act like you are God’s gift to music.
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. I can’t take another kid walking around with dyed black hair, acting punk, and claiming that GC is their role model, its music people and its not even good. They talk about bling bling and irrelevant crap more than most rap artists.
I’m serious this time, I’m done ranting, back to FOB. Is it as good as TTTYG? No, not in my opinion. However, there were some astoundingly catchy songs. The catchiest of them all is “Sugar, We’re Goin Down”. It’s still the typical FOB “I’m jealous but I still want you” mentality. The chorus however is perhaps one of my favorite in recent memory. It’s a bit cheesey but I can’t stop listening to it.
It’s not so much the lyrics I love about the song, altho I do enjoy them. It’s the way they sing the chorus. FOB’s lead singer, Patrick Stump, has an incredible voice, which is something you don’t find in most of today’s music, especially for the genre. He also keeps coming up with new ways to make it sound cool. He sings pretty much each song differently.
Check out this song. If you hate it because its too pop too bad. I will still like them. I have no qualms with pop songs, just people who claim to be anti-pop and turn around and make exactly what you’re against.
first of all,we both love this song. we love all of your songs. you guys are great! keep comin up with song and we will keep listening… thank you,
Alix and Sam

Thank you, honestly, for giving a decent and positive review of the new album. With the exception of people like Jason Tate at AP.net who have been friends with FOB for a few years now, everyone except for the mainstream execs seems to be giving them so much crap for this album. I enjoy it every bit as much as I enjoy Take This To Your Grave. I had the whole thing memorized in two or three days because I just couldn’t stop listening. Fall Out Boy is genuine and honest and they don’t deserve all of the people who used to “love” them so much turning their backs the moment people latch onto them. It’s rather sickening, but now I’m ranting and going off on my own little agitated tangent. Case in point: Thank you. You are right and educated in your opinion and not an idiot.
Laura on May 30th, 2005 3:43 am
I Love FOB…and I agree on the GC thing, they do take the punk thing to far.
Sonja Pennington on June 2nd, 2005 8:32 am

dr on June 9th, 2005 11:41 am

yo dis song is da bomb my band and me are performing this in my garage tomorrow fa shizzle be there or be square fags!!
your mother on June 20th, 2005 8:43 pm
One thing is Fall Out Boy is really good, but how dare you put down Simple Plan they are the best band ever, there so down to earth and not poser punk people, they do address issues in the real world and are just like FOB. If you cant see that than you need help, serious help. They dont think of themselves as the saviors to punk music, they do this cause that is what they love, there just 5 canadian best friends doing what they love to do. SP is like the bast band ever, FOB is second, and GC is third. o-yeah, GC dont think they r the saviors of punk music eithier, take a look at thier lyrics, they dont talk about only death, and they dont do it for money, they do it because they LOVE it. Well thats all i gat to say so bibi……..
Laterz,
GOAT
P.S. pleaze send me comments to brittney4sp@yahoo.com if you feel that my inner reasoninb i guess you could call it is totally insane
ty………….
"GOAT" on June 20th, 2005 9:06 pm
I agree with goat, Simple plan and Good charlotte are in fact very good bands, gc dosent take thier “punk” style to far, its who they are, they aint trying to impress anyone, thier fans might all be posers, but they arent. Sugar were going down is like the ultimate song, I LOVE IT SO…………. MUCH!!!!!!!!!
well peace,
lena
Lena on June 20th, 2005 10:03 pm
that is my favorite song in the entire world!!!! the video is awesome! everybody go watch it! fall out boy is my favorite band!!
kelsey on June 22nd, 2005 12:23 pm
Simple Plan whine in EVERY SINGLE song I have ever heard from them. If I wanted to listen to nasal whining I would watch re-runs of Family Matters. They honestly make me want to vomit.
I think Joel from GC should take lessons from his girlfrend, Hilary Duff on how to make a decent pop song. That was just a joke, I think her songs suck too but I think they are better than the talentless garbage GC puts out.
Sorry, that reply was a little immature but I’m just trying to tell it from the standpoint of all GC and SP fans.
Chris Fehnel on June 22nd, 2005 4:50 pm
who goes to the warped tour in scranton? on a thursday? when u can go to the one in philly on a friday and partake in delicious cheeseteaks with cheese, and famous daves bar-b-q with bar-b-q sauce, and then u can down to the beautiful jersey shore right after the concert. some things i guess i will never understand.
timmy!!! on June 22nd, 2005 7:40 pm
i freakin love this song…fall out boy is superior
autymn on June 22nd, 2005 8:40 pm
I love fall out boy… there song Sugar were goin down is sooo addictive! You are so true about GC they make me so mad! But if you like them thats okay but they r so much into the punk thing that it just makes them look so foolish!
anna on June 23rd, 2005 1:48 pm
Timmy!!!: I want to go to the Philly one too but who has that type of loot. Not me, especially after twenty speeding tickets. I’ll be there in spirit tho so take comfort in that.
Anna: Thank you for backing me up on the GC thing, at least some people can recognize talent (or the lack thereof).
I’m still not sick of this cd and I have been playing it constantly.. Thank you Fall Out Boy. Can’t wait to see them.
Chris Fehnel on June 23rd, 2005 2:06 pm
FOB ur the best band in the world!!! i allways have to hide my sisters FOB CD because i love it so much… Im so inlove with your music u guys rock!!!!
I LOVE FALL OUT BOY on June 23rd, 2005 9:05 pm
Fall Out Boy fucking rocks. I’ve loved em since the start and will as long as I live! I’m glad they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Kiley on June 24th, 2005 5:31 pm
where are the lyrics for this kid ? huh ? tell me that !!
meme on June 25th, 2005 12:40 pm
Hey meme, I noticed you have the lyrics on your site. I also noticed that you said it took awhile to find them. If you want to find lyrics for your favorite songs I would recommend either Song Meanings or Sing 365. While these sites may not be 100% correct all the time they seem to be the closest. Also, if they are wrong they usually post corrections if the mistakes are pointed out.
Chris Fehnel on June 25th, 2005 1:20 pm
Hey, I love FOB but I also LOVE GC and SP. You shouldnt judge them because that is being un-punk. Who said they are too far into the punk thing? They are who they want to be so whats wrong with that? They talk about real issues and are easy to relate to. To the person who said Sp just winnes in all thier songs THATS NOT TRUE! Half of thier songs are lively and are about the “i dont give a crap what you think” additude. Dont call ppl posers because that is being a poser yourself. Try to not be as judgmental! I use to think Avril was a poser but ive come to realize she can do whatever she wants and i cant stop her so i stopped calling her a poser because i know NOTHING about her. I still dont like her music but at least i dont go around calling her a poser and saying her music sucks a$$.
Veronica K on June 27th, 2005 12:47 am
Veronica: I never used the word “poser”. I really dislike that word. I don’t care if they are or aren’t. I dislike them regardless.
I also don’t mind Avril. Certainly she claims to be punk and then is a complete pop artist. No biggie, I can accept that, because her music is a bit respectable. However, Good Charlotte’s and Simple Plan’s music does suck a$$, as you say. If anyone can say that “Cars and Money”, “Rich and Shameless”, “Perfect”, “Shut Up”, and “Welcome to my Life” are GOOD songs should be slapped in the mouth while having their testicles shocked. These bands are a disgrace to an already disgraceful pop scene.
Chris Fehnel on June 27th, 2005 9:35 am
i love fall out boy!!! they kick ass!!
Brigit on June 27th, 2005 2:34 pm
Look bitches, everyone of you guys that liked GC about a year ago, claims to hate them and love fall out boy now. News flash!! They both suck..GC just happens to suck better.
Sabrina on June 28th, 2005 5:57 pm
Sabrina: Thanks for the laugh. I have never ever ever ever ever ever (did I mention ever) claim to like GC whatsoever. You saying GC “sucks better”; I won’t even justify that with a response.
Chris Fehnel on June 29th, 2005 10:49 am
OMFG thank you Veronica for standing up 4 simple plan, they r simply the best, they talk about issues, and do not WHINE, as cris says, i cant believe u actually said that thjey whine…. wats wrong with the punk scene?????? wat makes u ppl think that they are trying to act too much punk,(GC), have u ever thought that they might not be acting like u say, that maybe they r actualy i dont know……PUNK?!?!?! U ppl r retarded…..
OK…. that statment waz childish and i should take it back, but i cant cause thatsthe way i feel. BIBI bitches!
duh, me on June 29th, 2005 4:49 pm
OMG!!! i was sittin down watchin mtv…n they played the sugar,were going down!! i instantly fell in love w/ the song! i had nvere hear of them b4 but now i go around singin that song all day..i ran out n bought the CD n everything!! its liek mi fav. song ever!!
Lacy on July 1st, 2005 12:08 pm
OMG MY FREND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS SONG N I WAS LIKE WHO ARE THEY ?? THEN I SAW THE VIDEO ON MTV N I FELL IN LOVE I RAN OUT N BOUGHT THE CD N EVERYTHING THEIR AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL on July 1st, 2005 10:05 pm
GC never claimed to be either punk or deep. Stop being an ignorant bitch.
jim on July 4th, 2005 9:06 pm
Chris Fehnel i agree that simple plan sux ass, as for GC they were good back when they were starting out but they do suck now…
sugar, we’re goin down is great!
Chardo on July 5th, 2005 6:36 am
thank you so much for putting out this great review of Fall Out Boy’s “From Under The Cork Tree”. It kind of upsets me that Fall Out Boy are “big shot talent(s)” get it? I’ve been listening to them since waaaay back then. Since “evening out with your girlfriend”. But its about time these guys made it big. They totally deserve it and are changing MTV and the radio (i hate the radio, it kills it).Anyways they’re new cd is definantly more mature and different than TTTYG. Each song has a different beat, different guitar riffs, different melodys and the guys are big now. As long as they don’t start to play on KIIS FM, life is good. They’re AMAZING in person, and treat each and every fan, new and old ones, with great respect. Other bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan are WAY too pop than punk. Fall Out Boy balances out with the guitars and drums. When Good Charlotte & Simple Plan & Yellowcard (what a joke..) started, they were dead to begin with. Best wishes to Fall Out Boy!!…
P.S. My favorite is “Of All The Gin Joints In The World” & “Dance Dance”
DanceDanceDiana on July 7th, 2005 12:52 pm
I HAVE TO ADD THIS AGAIN. LACY & BEAUTIFUL. STOP KILLING SUGAR WERE GOING DOWN. JUST STOP. YOUR KILLING THE SCENE. GO SING SOME SIMPLE PLAN OR SOMETHING THATS WORTH KILLING. kidfhjidsfhsdiuhfsdni. GOD! PEOPLE LIKE YOU GO AROUND AND KILL IT. STOP
DanceDanceDiana on July 7th, 2005 12:54 pm
OMFG i love the song…”sugar were goin down”…
my friend told me about it and got me addicted to it and now i cant STOP listening to it!!!
shortay8088 on July 7th, 2005 7:30 pm
Im obsessed with Sugar we’re going down
Amber on July 9th, 2005 3:48 pm
fall out boy = best band on planet
end of discussion
iGraham on July 11th, 2005 12:50 am
and to dance dance diana…
i did buy “fob’s evening out…” after i got “take this to your grave” and to be honest, i was slightly dissappointed. but if u listen in order you can really hear the musical development and progression of their band…
iGraham on July 11th, 2005 12:53 am
hmm how can i say this without offending anyone…?
the FUTCT album is less punk and more alt than the TTTYG album, but dont get me wrong, i
iGraham on July 11th, 2005 12:55 am
love them both
iGraham on July 11th, 2005 12:57 am
i have this thing wth getting sick of songs once i overplay them.. so i’m trying really really hard to stop playng sugar. fob’s defnitely one of my favorite bands
and chardo, i hafta agree that gc used to be pretty decnt.. and sp was a bit bearable with their frst song id do anything i think.. as bearable as overly mainstream pop goes.. but they had to go and whine on every song that followd. gc and sp just plain blow, man.
jessicaaa on July 11th, 2005 7:20 am
Fall out boy is my favorite and i agree i don’t think that “From Under the Cork Tree” is as good as tttyg I really liked both albums… I really agree with you on gc and sp, I don’t understand why they act like such posers… another thing about gc and sp is that they have songs entitled “welcome to my life” and “lifestlye of the rich and the famous” why would any artist act like they are poor are that other famous people are all stuck up gc and sp just piss me off… lol well enough about those poser bands I would give “From Under The Cork Tree” an 8 outa 10
Ben on July 11th, 2005 3:35 pm
I can’t stop listening to Sugar We’re Going Down. It’s a major earworm.
Chess on July 11th, 2005 6:26 pm
I don’t normally recommend Fall Out Boy’s Evening With Your Girl until after someone is an established FOB fan. If you listen to that album you really have a horrible impression of how FOB sounds. I do recommend it to hardcore fans who has to have ever album made by a band. I like it because of the difference between “Calm Before the Storm” on that album and TTTYG. Also, the record label that was released (re-released as well) are known for being scam artists so I would never buy that album, I would download it.
Also, I can’t believe after all this album talk no one mentioned their INCREDIBLE acoustic EP, “My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue”. That would be my highest recommendation for the more unknown albums of Fall Out Boy.
Chris Fehnel on July 12th, 2005 1:20 pm
well first of all FOB rox and so does this song..but I disagree about the whole GOOD CHARLOTTE thing!! I LUV GC and no one can stop me from loving them..but hey,everyone has an opinion.so yea..
Priscilla on July 12th, 2005 10:36 pm
goat…he never said SP thought they were saviors of music…
and sabrina-ur right alot of kids last year loved GC and now hate them and love FOB
personally- i have always hated GC and have always loved FOB
and also GC and SP just suck it not if theyre taking punk to the extreme or not they just suck…
but im obessed with Fall Out Boy
katie on July 13th, 2005 3:24 pm

FOB ROCKS OMG JEEPERS I LOVE THEM.
Colin D. Devroe on July 15th, 2005 1:38 am
OK i don’t wanna sound bitchy but….fuck simple f’ing plan…they can go fall off which is what they will eventually do. They’re all about MTV & i’m sorry but that’s fronting the scene. i’ve studied punk and i have down reports abot punk music. there is like 27 forms of punk music and to compare Fall Out Boy to Simple Plan in the first place is dumb as fuck. For a band to be labeled punk is a lot of respnsibilty on their parts. to advertise your music on MTV w/ out being in the scene before is just fake, take hawthorne heights for instance, they’re all over mtv right now but for those of us who have a connection w/ punk music have been hearing their shit for the past year b4 any of you fake ass posers have. Dudes name is pierre c’mon bitches you don’t know shit about punk music you want punk meet Mikey Way from MCR in person there’s a fucking punk listen to some sublime-they’re fucking punks reggae but still way more punk than those faggots from simple plan will ever be…
put that in your pipe and smoke fuck you and if you agree w/ what i’m saying then good for you b/c that’s the truth and thats for real
Rachael on July 20th, 2005 3:19 pm
Were you too busy at the University of Future Punk Writers to take an English class? It’d be a crying shame to see the “reports on punk” that you have “down”. Perhaps if you had “down” more Vocabulary lessons you would know that the F word is merely a seasoning to your final recipe. Not the main ingredient, or in the case of your entire comment, the arsenic that unfortunately found its way down all of our unsuspecting throats. Kudos on not sounding “bitchy”, by the way. I can see that dictionaries were not offered at the U of FPW’s bookstore.

deer boy in ’sugar were goin down’ is hot.
Jessie on July 28th, 2005 1:38 am
neone who likes fall out boy needs to get the take this to your grave album…. i do kinda feel cheated now that evryone knows about em since ive been listening since 2002 but thats superficial and props to them for getting the money and recognition they deserve. as long as they keep making great music theyre a great band in my book. and as for GC and Simple Plan- FUCK THEM
tom on July 28th, 2005 7:12 pm
Tom: I agree anyone who even remotely likes FOB needs to definitely check out the angrier “Take This To Your Grave”, but also needs to check out their sensitive side on “My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue”. I know I mentioned this previously but I can’t stress it enough.
Chris Fehnel on July 29th, 2005 9:43 am
i gotta say i was flicking through the music channels the other day and heard fall out boys sugar were goin down video n listend to the song and its brilliant :)I think they are gonna go far

Christina on August 9th, 2005 5:25 pm
uhh
Fall out boy isnt Pop-Punk
theyre Punk/emo.
anyway.
i love the song.
its better then mostly all my other songs on my playlist
Samuel on August 12th, 2005 2:52 am
Hey Brittany, I’m guessing you are talking about the chorus. He says:
“We’re goin down / down in an earlier round / and sugar we’re going down swingin’ / I’ll be your number one with a bullet / a loaded god complex / cock it and pull it”
I hope that clears up the argument.
Chris Fehnel on August 14th, 2005 3:12 pm
Great review for this album and i totally agree on Good Charollatte. Some bands out there have there music alright but none lik Fallout Boy….recently i have not been able to stop listening to sugar we’re goin down due to the fact i have been having relationship problems but still this is a great album thanks for letting me be heard and great review…
NewCumberland on August 15th, 2005 12:42 am
Thanks NewCumberland.
John, there is a big difference between GC and FOB. You might not like FOB but they don’t “suck”. I dislike a lot of music that doesn’t suck, it’s just not my taste.
However, bands that suck are the ones that are talentless. You cannot deny that FOB are talented. They have some of the best lyrics in the genre and Patrick can genuinely sing. You can’t say the same for GC so therefore I will continue to criticize seeing as they are utterly worthless and have zero redeeming qualities as a band. I’m not saying I have any problem with the members of the band personally, they could be cool guys. As far as music goes they have about as much substance as Skittles mixed with Crisco with a side of bacon fat.
Chris Fehnel on August 15th, 2005 9:51 am
hey this is really the singer of fall out boy its awesome to see you guys like our band. if you haven’t bought the new cd then you must get it. thanks alot cya
patrick stumph on August 15th, 2005 10:20 pm
I LOVE FALL OUT BOY! THEY ROCK MY SOCKS STRAIGHT OFF!
Dani on August 19th, 2005 7:00 pm
Right first off: nice review. Second, I recommend you people who’ve only heard ‘SWGD’ to get off your lazy arses and check out other Fall Out Boy songs. And I don’t just mean the latest album..check out the others too. ‘TTTYG’ is amazing….I personally prefer ‘FOBEOWYG’. Oh and of course the great ‘MHWABTBTMT’ So….yes….and if i’m correct it’s “Patrick Stump’ not ‘Patrick Stumph’….and the correct term for “poser” is “poseur” you poseurs..LOL, Just Kidding….. ;D
Meeeee on August 23rd, 2005 6:18 pm
hey sugar were goin down rox!! i had never heard of fob b4 but there great……..as for sp and gc they not that bad but for ppl to get crazy over em is just riddiculus. its just music but yeah…….
if any of u no the lyrics to sugar were goin down could u post them?? im a little confused about what they say and id like to no. thx!
taz on August 23rd, 2005 7:56 pm

rock on
BRITTANY :>
Brittany on August 24th, 2005 8:52 am
Hey, I love that you gave this album a good review. I like it around as much as you do, too. My favorite song by FOB is NOT “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” as most peoples’ here is. No, that is my second favorite by this band. My all-time favorite song is “Grand Theft Autumn”. That song truly rocks my world. And you’re totally right about SP and GC. In my opinion, they suck. They’re posers. And they seriously need to tone down the “omg i punk goth an cool” act. And did anyone catch them on the MTV Video Music awards? They rocked.
Peace Out,
- Danielle
Danielle on August 29th, 2005 1:09 am
i wanted to watch the mtv music video awards but it doesnt play here in alaska…….

OMFG Patrick is my futer husband! I will fight over him, i’ve liked fall out boy for an UBER long time! Patrick is a god! He’s the man of all manliness, his voice rocks and its sexy! FOB is soooooooo awesome!
Mrs. Stump on September 2nd, 2005 9:36 pm
I think it’s funny that you FOB and GC and SP little pop kids are arguing as if either of you actually listen to punk. If you knew what punk was you wouldn’t be listening to bands that complain about their parents or their girl friend that just left them. FOB is a POP band, they have no connection to punk. I hate the term pop-punk. There is no such thing as Pop-punk and the closest thing to it would be bands like the Adicts. Punk is anti-pop and has always been so. Anyone who wears a GC, SP, or FOB shirt to a real punk show would probably get thrown the hell out. It’s also funny that the only people who I ever hear using the word poser (poseur, or which ever other way you idiots want to spell it) is actually just some middle school kid who thinks that wearing exclusivley black and putting on a bunch of eye liner is really cool and really punk. Get over yourselves and look into the history of punk. It didn’t just start with Green Day in the 90s (gasp!!!!!) It started a long time ago and was completely different than the music you are trying to pass off as punk today. Join the underground or stop using our name for your horrible music.

Taz on September 21st, 2005 11:32 am
lmao@rachel. none of the shit, pop-punk, happy candy music you guys are talking would be labeled as punk so stfu and staffoo your faces. punk belongs in dirty night clubs, not the malls.
HAHA on September 23rd, 2005 4:05 pm
I am fine with you liking the music, your ears your choice. Just please don’t call it punk, think of your own name. I disagree with you on System of a Down though, Taz, those guys make really good music, but considering your other taste in music I am not surprised you have the opinions that you do. Thank you for the support, HAHA, its nice to see someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Nice way to put it as well.
That's Funny guys on September 28th, 2005 7:04 pm
lol ty!
Taz on September 28th, 2005 10:48 pm
That’s Funny Guys: I never claimed that Fall Out Boy was punk. I think they are labeled as pop-punk, which I would never consider to be punk music. They don’t live the punk lifestyle and/or act punk. This wasn’t me claiming that FOB was punk whatsoever.
Nor do I claim that I am a true “punk” fan. I don’t mind the music, but the most punk I have gone is early Rancid, which I’m sure could draw laughs from true punk fans. I don’t know the roots of punk nor do I particularly care, but I enjoy FOB, plain and simple. I would never call them a true punk band tho, so if that is how you take what I wrote I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Fall Out Boy - Sugar, …
Shanna Bondesson on October 5th, 2005 11:46 pm
wow. you people arguing about what’s punk or not need to chill the heck out. music, by nature, is constantly chancing, hence the classifications for it become more complicated as time goes on. personally, i like fallout boy. I don’t know that that makes me a poser, since i’m not posing as anything. i also like the ramones and the clash, which are considered punk bands, right? so what does that make me? i get the feeling that you all just feel like you want somewhere or something to which you can belong, so you have to form these little musical cliques to make yourselves feel special. i totally agree with the article, except, no offense, but the author could have definitely done a better job of being respectful to Gc and sp fans- i dnon’t like them either, but artistic merit is a very subjective thing. of course, the whole thing is an opinion piece, so the author can say what he wants, but opinions need to be based in actual fact, not just what you want the facts to be. peaceout
amused on October 7th, 2005 8:49 am
I used to love Fall Out Boy. Their old CD was pretty kickass. Now they’re a bunch of sellouts to poser 12 year old dumbasses who are like “OMG I HEART FOB 4EVA!” and who probably don’t even know the meanings of most of the new songs. I bet they, and half the people that are reading this don’t even know that Pete Wentz isn’t even the lead singer of the band. They changed from their old stuff to the new stuff just to get famous. Maybe they were considered pop-punk on Take This to Your Grave. But now, it’s all a bunch of mainstream junk. I mean, honestly. If you do like the new stuff, that’s awesome. But personally, I miss the old stuff.
Katie on October 12th, 2005 6:10 pm
I like Fall Out Boy. Sugar, We’re Going Down isn’t one of their greatest songs though.
I don’t like Good Charlotte, nor do I like Simple Plan, though I do find it funny how worked up some people are getting over this whole thing.
Classifications = blah. They’re not important; they don’t define a person and the certainly aren’t worth all this hullabaloo.
If people think Good Charlotte are punk, let them.
If they think Simple Plan whine, that’s their opinion.
If they like Fall Out Boy, good for them.
It’s not hurting you, so let it be.
Lee on December 15th, 2005 4:20 am
i think u guys are hot!!!!!!!!!
kati on December 19th, 2005 1:11 am
Ilove Fall out boy 2 death! Patrick stump is soooo hot! He’ss the f-ing greates singer ever! I totally agree on the SP and GC thing. They need to get over themselves and get a life. They are ruening the punk music scene!
I LOVE P.S.!!!
Darya on December 20th, 2005 6:04 pm
erm…thing is when i say punk i think sex pistols, OLD!!!!!! green day, and newer punk bands like freaks union (local but big in uk)… but then you ppl say FOB SP and GC are punk… please!! FOB granted are good. GC are ok, bit better now, gotton rid of the “boys, girls” crap they brought out…and SP well they are just dire…how do they “talk to you through their music”. I dont know you chris but you seem to have a good grasp on all of this.
I bet all of you are american cos only you can call this lot punk..you still consider green day punk…over the pond we know what punk is and respect its name by not calling crap bands punk… forinstance no-one dare call “McFly” punk even the band itself…just stupid american broadcasters and stupid british bimbos who thinks she is punk ‘cos she wears converse!!! Soryy about rant but just realise SP=CRAP, GC=Better, FOB=real good…but none are punk
@Work work work pub, club, sleep. says:
well the thing is im on an all dayer with becky till luke finishes work then we are meeting daz, jon, claire beth jr and snr and we are orf to spiders then off to zebra at 3 (cos wer all pevs) then crashing at punk
daniel on December 23rd, 2005 7:56 pm
punk is a life style not just music, but thats a big part of it too. it makes me fucking sick when i hear anyone relate any of these shit bands like all the ones people here are talking about to punk. these bands don’t have anything to do with it so call it pop or whatever the fuck else you want, i don’t care, just don’t call it punk! you wanna hear punk? check out some bands like black flag, minor threat, bad religion, sex pistols, circle jerks
jim on December 24th, 2005 10:16 pm
@Dan: I don’t consider this music punk. I don’t care about classifying music per se. When I said they are pop-punk I am just using the term loosely because that is how they are perceived. Trust me, take a look at my past/present/future songs, I don’t hold what I like to a genre. If the music is good, then it is good. Fall Out Boy to me is a band. They aren’t a rock band, a gospel band, a punk band. They are just a band, I like their music, and the rest can be left up to debate to people who care about “punk” music more than I, because I know I am not a reliable source to tell you what “true” punk music is.
Chris Fehnel on December 27th, 2005 1:21 am
@Taz: Sorry for the delay on this, but what pic are you referring to? If you are referring to the album art, that is the album art when you buy the album from the iTunes Music Store. I believe they had multiple covers for this album, and this is just one of them.
Chris Fehnel on December 27th, 2005 1:25 am
For the person who wanted “Sugar were goin down” lyrics….
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I’ve been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that’s just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I’m just a notch in your bedpost
But you’re just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you’re just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We’re always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don’t mind me I’m watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn’t it messed up how I’m just dying to be him
I’m just a notch in your bedpost
But you’re just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you’re just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We’re always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]
We,re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
We’re going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I’ll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
We’re going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We’re going down, down (down, down)
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it
We’re going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I’ll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded Gun complex, cock it and pull it

savanah jo on January 11th, 2006 10:32 pm
I think some of these people are joking? They probably didn’t even read what you wrote.
You made the best arguement anyone has been able to dish out. i’ve heard other opinions that aren’t nearly as fair as yours.
I completely agree with it all.
ANNEKA on January 12th, 2006 11:00 pm
To everyone who argues about that FOB or GC or SP is punk, you’re all wrong. Punk music is DEAD. If you want real punk music, go listen to the OLD stuff, like Misfits or Ramones, and you’ll see what punk is all about. Sorry if someone has ranted this before, I’ll be honest and didn’t read the whole string, but there have been enough people here at the end to justify me saying this. I personally don’t like any of today’s “pop-punk” bands (which in itself is a contradiction of names). In fact, there’s not a lot of today’s bands I DO like, although there are a few gems. Everyone these days is either pop-punk or emo / screamo (and God do I hate MCR, I can argue this for years, that’s another topic though). So sorry to break your little bubbles, but this music is NOT punk, nor is it even close.
Jayray on January 14th, 2006 9:43 am
Fall Out Boy has a long way to go as far as vocal maturity. I have been taking voice lessons since I was 5 years old. Patrick the lead singer has the potential to do amazing things but he blunders it by trying to belt it using his lungs instead of his diaphragm. I love the beat and the words from those I can make out, but I have to say I am more easily frustrated by listening to them. Vocal talent is lacking, rhythmical breathing is nonexistent. Just listen top dance and count how many times he takes a breath. That is not normal and shes a complete disrespect for talent in the music Industry. And you wonder why the RIAA is losing sales.
Yuki on January 18th, 2006 12:27 pm
wow i ♥ fall out boy
erin on January 20th, 2006 6:08 pm
I’m not exactly sure if anyone has corrected this yet, but for the record Patrick does not say ‘gun complex’, it’s actually ‘God complex’. But anyway, I wish I had heard of Fall Out Boy from the beginning, I used to be so ignorant to the music world, until I finally got Much Music and the first thing I saw on it was the Sugar We’re Goin Down video and I instantly fell in love with Patrick’s voice…(plus, he’s hot ^_^) It makes me sad to think of all the years I missed out on Fall Out Boy. They’re pretty much my whole life now.
Georgia on January 20th, 2006 10:25 pm
I personally have to say that Fall out Boy is now, officially my #1 favorite band. I would die if i never heard your song “Get Busy living,Get busy Dying.” That song is the greatest song EVER!
LaChelle on January 21st, 2006 11:37 pm
this is pathetic how dare you slag off good charlotte like that, good charlotte and simple plan are one of the bestest bands ever, its probable that you’re showin off and just jealous, that good charlotte and simple plan are unique. and on top of that, they pretty much dont care about what you say! they are doing what they enjoy doing. im pretty sure if they were that bad, they wouldnt be in the charts, on mtv and be nationally famous, now would they?!?!?!? so think before you speak. people like you are so thick, pathetic and lame. people like you just cant bare the fact that some bands might actually sing/ be in a band for a living, and they might actually like the thing that they are doing.
p.s i love fall out boy they rock
thankyou…..
Bex XxXxX i love you all who stand up to this dork and show that good charlotte and simple plan are two of the bestest bands ever!

Kristina Forsmask on January 31st, 2006 12:47 am
I don’t think the debate over what punk is has much merit. If you like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, it doesn’t stop you from liking Fall Out Boy, or vice versa. I used to really like Good Charlotte, and I don’t like them so much anymore. I really like Fall Out Boy now, but so what? Why set up these barriers and stick to one genre? Just enjoy what comes out and don’t be ashamed if you do. The worst thing I can think of is that people will lie about what they like just because of the general mentality. Half of the people that say they don’t like Ashlee Simpson or Good Charlotte have never even heard them and haven’t made that decision for themselves (Ashlee Simpson is crap though).

Former hardcore kids gone “pop punk”.
Good band nonetheless.
Everyone in the band is cool. Except Andy the drummer.
He was a real douche when I met him. And he was a real jerk
to my current girlfriend. Hitlerxwasxemo is Andy Hurley’s screen name. IM him and tell him how much his drumming sucks.
All in all I love fall out boy. Thee enddd.
