Fall Out Boy es una banda de música pop punk, de los suburbios de Chicago, Illinois (Estados Unidos) que se formó en el 2001. El nombre de la banda se debe a un personaje de The Simpsons de mismo nombre, conocido en España como Fision Boy.

Historia

La banda se conoció en el 2001 y se han consolidado como una de las mejores en el género con sencillos como Grand Theft Autumn , Where Is Your Boy? y Saturday, registrándose en Island records en el 2003. La banda está integrada por Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Andrew Hurley y Joseph Trohman, que comparten el mismo gusto y afinidad por la música, especialmente por el rock y el Neo punk emergente.

Fall Out Boy se caracteriza por ser una banda muy original por eso se reinventa y explora nuevos sonidos constantemente.

Su primer disco es Take this to your grave, aunque previamente la agrupación lanzó dos mini álbumes o EP’s: Fall Out Boy´s Evening Out With Your Girlfriend y My heart will always be the B-side of my tongue.

El 3 de mayo del 2005 sacaron su mejor debut, From Under The Cork Tree (Island), del que vendieron más de 70.000 copias en la primera semana. Su sencillo Sugar, We're Going Down alcanzó el número 1 en MTV TRL. El video también gano el premio MTV3 en los MTV Video Music Awards. La banda fue nominada por Mejor Artista Nuevo en los Grammy Awards, pero después perdió contra John Legend. Actualmente, aumentó su fama con la canción titulada Dance, Dance y el sencillo A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More Touch Me.

Ese mismo año, la estabilidad de la banda se vio amenazada por el discutido intento de suicidio de Wentz al ingerir una sobredosis del sedante Ativan. El bajista dijo en una entrevista para la revista Rolling Stone que tiene una fascinación con los suicidios de Elliot Smith e Ian Curtis. El título de la canción "7 minutes in heaven (atavan halen)" está basada en su intento de suicidio.

El 6 de Febrero del 2007 lanzaron su nuevo álbum, Infinity on High, con This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race como single de presentación y posteriormente editaron Thnks Fr Th Mmrs como segundo sencillo y The Take Over, The Break's Over como el tercero. *FdS!

Controversia

La banda recibió fuertes criticas por parte de los miembros de The Killers en una entrevista realizada por NME.com:

El guitarrista de The Killers Dave Keuning opino sobre las bandas emo: "Todas esas bandas, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, solo están influenciadas por Blink 182 y alguna otra más. ¿Como puede eso ser una buena cosa?", mientras que el cantante Brandon Flowers dijo: "Emo, o punk-pop como desees llamarlo, es peligroso."

En otra entrevista con la misma revista Brandon Flowers siguio con sus criticas:

"No comprendes lo que podrías conseguir vosotros mismos, con Fall Out Boy, y qué clase de impacto podría tener de una manera que realmente no deseas."

"Culturalmente, si consigue ser tan grande como es en América (EEUU), podría cambiar una generación entera de gente que crece aquí. No deseamos tener aversión contra nadie, y todavía no hemos conocido a Fall Out Boy, pero hay una criatura dentro de mí que desea batir todas esas bandas hasta la muerte. Apenas todos entran al embudo feliz del emo y cada uno lo ama sin pensar.

How cruel is the golden rule?
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
Though I carried karats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drown the spark of my teens
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (too heavy for me)
Though I carried karats for everyone to see (everyone to see)

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me

And pray they don´t grow up to be...

It´s all a game of this or that, now versus then
better off against worse for wear
And youre someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew
And I just want to be a part of this

The road outside my house is paved with good intentions
Hired a construction crew, ´cause it´s hell on the engine
And you are the dreamer and we are the dream.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light.
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

My words are my faith to hell with our good name.
A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed
And one day we´ll get nostalgic for disaster
we´re a bull, your ears are just a china shop

I love you in the same way, there´s a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light.
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...
(Hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah), hum hallelujah (Hum hallelujah))

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light.
A teenage vow in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
"Till tonight do us part"
Love in a parking lot (Hum hallelujah)
"Till tonight do us part"
A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part"
I sing the blues and swallow them too

Last year´s wishes
Are this year´s apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
Cause I know how the words get you

We´re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you

Collect the bad habits
That you couldn´t bare to keep
Out of the woods but I love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kissed teeth stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds

We´re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you

The best way
To make it through
With hearts and wrists intact
Is to realize
Two out of three ain´t bad
Ain´t bad

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
(Honeymoon)
Setting in a honeymoon
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I wake up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I wake up next to you
(Honeymoon)

I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words
And don´t really care which side wins
As long as the room keeps singing
That´s just the business I´m in, yeah

This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
I´m not a shoulder to cry on
But I digress

I´m a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate
[x2]

I wrote the gospel on giving up
(You look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk
(Prima donnas of the gutter)
At night we´re painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars,
No, more like p-p-p-parties

This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This bandwagon´s full
Please, catch another

I´m a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate
[x2]

Yeahh...
Whoa-ohh

All the boys who the dance floor didn´t love
And all the girls whose lips couldn´t move fast enough
Sing, until your lungs give out

This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
(Now you)
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
(Wear out the groove)
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
(Sing out loud)
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race
(Oh, oh)
This ain´t a scene, it´s a goddamned arms race

I´m a leading man
And the lies I weave are oh so intricate,
Oh so intricate
[x2]
