Chicago, United States (2001 – present)

Fall Out Boy is a band formed in early 2001 in Wilmette, Illinois after good friends Joe Trohman and Pete Wentz met high schooler Patrick Stump. Stump originally auditioned as a drummer, but soon became the lead singer. The following year, the band debuted with a self-released demo and followed it up with the May 28, 2002 release of Split EP, which featured Project Rocket, on Uprising Records. The group released a mini-LP, Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, also on Uprising Records, in 2003.

2003–2004: Independent success

After the release of their mini-album, Fall Out Boy built a large cult following playing in the Chicago area and drummer Andy Hurley, formerly of Racetraitor, joined the band while the two other members left. At this time, Stump also took over rhythm guitar duties. During this time, they played many local shows at the The Knights of Columbus Hall in Arlington Heights, Illinois, also the site of their first video:

Dead on Arrival. The same year, after signing to Fueled By Ramen, they released their first full-length album, Take This to Your Grave, on May 6, 2003. The band received an advance from Island Records to record their proper debut, but the advance came with a right of first refusal for Island on Fall Out Boy’s next album. With major financing in place, the recording of Take This to Your Grave took place at producer & Garbage drummer Butch Vig’s Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, with Sean O’Keefe producing.

I recently understood that name "Fall Out Boy" refers to half-life period of nuclear lysergic atom that is basis of four-dimensional universe of mind...

FOB is worse than those, at least you have to be hard to be a gangster rapper and have carpal tunnel syndrom to play guitar for a brutal dm band.

FOB is like brutal death metal and gangster rap. It's so bad you wonder if the band members mean their music to be a joke or not.

I wanted to mention an observation : it seems me that Fall Out Boy blatantly recycle a lot of good phrases freom movies 1.)"Of all the gin joints in all the world, in all the towns, she had to walk into mine" from Casablanca, by Bogart as compared to the title of their song 2.) "Nobody puts baby in the corner" Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing. And there was one about the snitches get stitches which remimds me of Reggie and the Full effect "Bitches get stitches" and Carpal Tunnel of love? Ehh so trendly ironic.

yeah, but that was so real.... I almost killed myself! FOB is dangerous.... I once heard that luleerulah verse during one of my trips and you know what came from the bathroom? A GIANT TANK-LIKE MACHINE WITH TONS OF HUMAN SHIT ON IT. I was freaked out completely and ran away from the house.... and then I saw that sky is brown and clouds are read..... That was horrible.... I saw a man with purple revolver pointing it at my head and laughing..... And later I understood that it was Patrick Stump.... but he was old... very old.... he was bald but with moustaches and he looked very ill, he wore green suit (just like in most of other of my hallucinations)..... Then he shot me in the chest.... I felt pain and fell on blue grass..... I saw my blood speckling with rainbow colors.... I fell asleep for several minutes.... when I woke up everything was normal but I still was in deep shock....

This band is creepy.... I remember I heard it while tripping... awful.... When I heard the song about sugar & downtown.... I saw like group of bums with pink and hats glasses ran into our bus and started to scream aloud and beat everyone and everything... I remember that I saw swarms of little snakes that went through these bums' eyes, ears & mouths... then snakes turned into fire and I saw how my bus burned down and everything started to look like we're in giant anaconda's throat, I was scared.... my friends were holding me in order to avoid me hurting myself or something... later they said that bus driver and some passengers were annoyed by my behavior.... but I was so scared..... it all looked so real.... I remember seeing vermni - rats, snakes, insects, worms running around on the bus's floor... ....man, that was awful... I will never listen FOB.... what would be if not my friends? I heard that sometimes people kill themselves during acid trips....
