Fall Out Boy Fires Fists During Show

Tweet

Our friends from Fall Out Boy launched a little riot from the stage at their Sunday night show at the Sunshine Theatre in Albuquerque. Bassist Pete Wentz completely fell out after catching sight of a security guard hassling one of their roadies. When Wentz saw the altercation, he threw down his mic, jumped off the stage and threw down with the security dude. After the scuffle, Wentz picked up his mic once more and addressed the audience thusly: "That's what you get when you fuck with my friends — fucking asshole!"

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
