Patrick be like "we are famous because of Pete's lyrics" Meanwhile, the early FOB experience was like "I have no idea what this guy is saying but I like it anyway"

"the verse was just wrong" **plays a masterpiece** sure, Patrick. Sure.

[@spaceturtlemusic801]

it was good, i think they could use it in another song but it doesn't fit the feeling of "church". like as an overall song.

[@ethanjones8115]

I get that it sounded good but I agree that it wasn't quite right

[@lucasc.3542]

*Backing Vocals:* "MR. STUMP" *Patrick:* Oh, it's me! Hey! *Me:* Aww, they signed his own appointment with DEATH and didn't even told him anything. How cute...

[@mick3199]

I thought it was "Mr. Shrew" and it was a secret reference to the Office.

[@kaylaslack9276]

“Mirror mirror on the wall, guess I’m just like my father after all” okay but THATS A GOOD LYRIC

[@erinpeterson3202]

i could listen to Patrick talk about nerd stuff forever. . .and hopefully learn some of it

[@durrhurr55]

How can we get the fandom as far away from nerd stuff as humanly possible? Cause cognitive dissonance by convincing them that looking at an e-meme is "nerd stuff" Meanwhile there's no skill . Bug man consumerist stuff. Not nerd stuff where skills are involved. There used to be a concept of a patrician, also largely destroyed. I think your curiosity is cool though. Don't ever let this echo chamber prevent you from being curious. Always look for info yourself. This echo chamber. People stay too long and forget how to use Google for anything other than WORSHIPPING LOSERS. Alot of you are probably smart people who don't deserve to fall into that trap tbh

i think that verse was so good

[@kiittyprincess666]

I'm gonna cry,he is so cute.

[@kiittyprincess666]

I know right

[@bobisbob3733]

They need to release an album (or, I guess it would be more of a collection) of just deleted music, or even just deleted verses. It would be so cool to see everything they’ve thought of doing, but decided not to!

[@vexomenza1705]

Isn't that what Llamania is? Though I do hope they do more of that with future albums.

[@yummypanic]

Same!!

[@mattsbanduploads]

I love this just because Pete was told to make a more fun bassline

[@danieleocello39]

Matty Jiles The bass in FOB has always disappointed me, it really hurts me inside (lol). Now, i wouldn't mind if we were talking about a generic pop-punkish song, but cmon, i feel like their songs could be so much better with nice basslines. Pete has been playing four root notes since forever, doesn't have any kind of distinct sound, and he didn't even compose this bassline. Sure, "It just needs to fit the song" but we're talking about the bassist of a band that fills stadiums with fans, they've been doing this for 17 years, so i think it would be time for Pete to get his shit togheter and do something. I wouldn't be surprised if i didn't see him playing this song live.

[@ByeByeDeadName]

Honestly you’d think he’d be better at his craft by now but not only are his bass lines still unimpressive but his lyrics are far less clever/interesting than they used to be.

[@danieleocello39]

JK HGGNS Exactly, do something, dude.

[@elizabeth_b]

I did NOT spend most of this video staring at Patrick's upper arms. How dare you accuse me of that

“If death is the last appointment then we’re all just sitting in the waiting room”. “Mr stump” is my favorite part of the entire song. That’s pretty funny he didn’t know that’s what it was :)

I actually really like his original demos for the verse and the drums, but he is right in saying it doesn't fit the sound of the band. So here's me, sitting in the corner silently hoping for more solo work from Patrick. :v

[@elainevivi]

this album (like every album) is making me remember all over again how precious they are to me (:

[@sweatywiener]

omg this is one of the best fob videos. this is something ive always wanted - the band breaking down songs and giving details! us fans live for details and demos!!!!!! i want this for so many more songs!!!! whenever they give meanings behind songs they stick with me forever (facts related to the behind the scenes and stuff). its funny because what he said is 100% true! - the biggest reason i love fall out boy is the lyrics. their lyrics mean more to me than any other band.

[@erlineandrews]

It's half the lyrics, half Patrick's voice for me.

[@FileCode1459]

right!!! i mean, the sound is pretty dope too, but there's something about the lyrics that just stick with you and keep going through your head for a while even if you can't really understand what that means, but pete knows what it means and you feel that!

[@FileCode1459]

but what i was actually going to comment is that i didn't really like the music video for Champion until pete explained what he wanted to say and now i like it a lot

[@nothingatall2523]

sweatywiener Pete is an incredible lyricist, such depth, such heart, & he is such a beautiful & magnificent Soul. Trick does an amazing job portraying Pete the best he can. They honor each beautifully, they all contribute to each song, & album, & they are each truly amazing Artists. Fall out boy is an art form, & these 4 Men are the Artists that bring these Artistic visions to life.
