Fall Out Boy Uncensored: The Exclusive Video

Consider your day made. Not only are you looking at a real, live (OK, digitized) version of the new Rolling Stone (on stands Friday,) but the behind-the-scenes footage from Fall Out Boy's cover shoot is now available for your viewing pleasure. As we mentioned yesterday, it includes all kinds of excellent visual tidbits involving light-saber battles, vocal gymnastics and, as you can already see, plenty of shots of Pete's manly-but-still-emo torso. Enjoy.

Tomorrow we will put up excerpts from Brian Hiatt's article, in which the following topics are addressed: Pete's manic personality, the true nature of his suspiciously intimate friendships with Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Trachtenberg and Patrick Stump's thoughts on being the lead singer in a band fronted by somebody else. Stay tuned!

“Helen Wheels”

Paul McCartney | 1973

A rollicking good-time hard rocker, "Helen Wheels" was not about a woman but about Paul McCartney's Land Rover, the anthemic chorus voicing the vehicle's reckless joy as "she" took to the road. The song was added to the U.S. version of Band on the Run but was issued only as a single in McCartney's native U.K. "I like that because it's a British road song and there's not many of those around," said McCartney. "It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
