Pete Wentz Confronts the Five Stages of Post-Album Leak Grief

1/26/07, 11:25 am EST

Pete Wentz

Last weekend Pete Wentz experienced loss. Infinity on High, the new album by his band Fall Out Boy, leaked and he’s been moping in a very public way ever since. Today, after reading the latest comments from the rocker, we’re thinking Pete’s almost recovered.

Follow Pete’s stages of grief below. Is there hope?

1. DENIAL: Pete pretends he doesn’t care how the leak will effect chart position: “It’s gotten to the point where I’m like, who really cares about the first week (sales)? If people like the music then they like the music. That’s the best thing about it. There’s been a positive response.”

2. ANGER: Pete lashes out at the working man: “Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant [he believes the leak began at the label’s manufacturing plant] and watch everybody? Some guy working minimum wage, why would he care how it affects us? It’s a multi-pronged thing.”

3. BARGAINING: Pete begs us to help him weave a silver lining: “If youve downloaded a song- cause we know alot of you hxc fob have. please tkae a moment and pick a friend and give them their first chance to listen to fall out boy. someone who would never expect to like it. convince them. you are fall out boy for that 3 minutes and 52 seconds. keep being our ambassadors. we will keep telling dudes in suits to chill out.”

4. DEPRESSION: Pete wallows: “Our new record has leaked. While this isn’t the end of the world it certainly feels pretty terrible. As an artist we have a vision for how we want our record to be presented and this isn’t it.”

4 1/2. SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT: Wentz is an artist and sometimes he invents things, including new stages of grief. He boasts: “This could potentially be one of the biggest leaks there is. If you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we’re probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet.”

5. ACCEPTANCE: This is the last, elusive stage. Will he ever get here?

All of you teenies who only like Pete because, “OMGZ!!! HE’S SO HOT!!!!111″ need to die. If you don’t know who Fall Out Boy is or you don’t like them, why bother reading it and posting? Fuckers.

Sexy Babe | 2/13/2007, 2:30 pm EST

Pete looked so hot at the Fuse Chainsaw Awards!! I so wanted to be the girl standing next to him and talking to him!! He also looked hot on the music video “A little less than 16 Candles A little More Tuch Me.” The Vampire thing is so HOT!!!

Pete Lover Forever | 2/13/2007, 2:23 pm EST

Pete is the hottest guy have evere known. He i could i would sleep with him!!

Sasha | 2/4/2007, 12:18 pm EST

this sucks.
they worked so hard on it, and said it was their favourite record yet.
i admit, i downloaded the leak, but to make up for it, im buying two copies of the album and a t-shirt.

ashleymariegq3 | 2/4/2007, 11:30 am EST

oooh…i almost forgot..pete..im 200 bucks per hour i fur interested

ashleymariegq3 | 2/3/2007, 10:29 pm EST

Dude I don’t even see why there stressin about the leak. Like I understand they had a vision and all but since it was leaked, more people r gonna listen 2 it cause they arnt supposed 2 and then the’ll want to buy the CD. Like I’m not gonna lie I listened 2 da whole CD and now I’m siked to buy it. So (FOB stop stressin out)

Denise L | 2/2/2007, 8:47 pm EST

pete’s the heart you love to hate or hate to love. that’s it. leave them alone. for those of you who don’t know who fal out boy are get out of that cave you’ve been living in and go buy: take this to your grave

Weeee | 2/2/2007, 6:50 pm EST

Nadine | 2/2/2007, 3:10 pm EST

shut the fuck up all of you. leave em, they’re mad… and thats it. & if you dont care… why are you posting here? my god, go away.

katie fob obsesser | 2/2/2007, 12:37 pm EST

I would never want to hurt fall out boy in fact i get at least 3 of my friends or random people that come to the Inn my mom owns to listen to them a day. So im kind of happy i got to spread the love but i have to confess ive dowloaded some songs from infinity on high not all of them but at least 3 or 4. Im still sleeping outside the mall so i can get in and buy the cd on febuary 6.

Wendy Weissman | 2/2/2007, 8:00 am EST

bobob, don’t ever say pete wentz is the next paul mccartney again. You do both Pete and yourself a disservice saying that. Trust me. Look what happened to Ultragrrrl and MCR.

FAMOU$ | 2/2/2007, 12:10 am EST

Fuckin Haters, FOB isnt just the MTV shit you have seen for the past 2 years. just check the fuckin charts next week. Get a retraction ready, stupid fucks -FAMOU$

Anonymous | 2/1/2007, 10:18 pm EST

wow if u hate dont post thats just a waste of ur time and i downloaded and im still going to buy the cd

god. | 2/1/2007, 9:40 pm EST

emo is over.
you can all go home now.

Nobody Cares | 2/1/2007, 7:36 pm EST

I fell bad for fall out boy that shit sucks. thats why i’m going to wait till the album comes out and just download it for free off the internet like normal people. fuck pay 15.99 for something i might drop in the trash. Also i want to say thanks to pete for making me feel like i have a big dick no more mag-rx for me mom!

me | 2/1/2007, 7:35 pm EST

okay so i’ve read the comments here and pretty much everyone has said almost the same FOB are a whining emo band - hello all music in whatever context or genre is in essence emo [emotional] there is no way any song regardless of the artist or whatever is emotionless its just not possible. okay so maybe he’s written some things in the journal on the site [where all of these things came from] and it can be seen as being a little overzealous but if it was me who had my music passed around without my consent i’d be just as pissed; okay so a lot of people deem FOB as a band who dont deserve what success they have - you’re wrong, they worked hard to get everything they have achieved, and to have something they’ve spent so long creating [because lets get logical it takes more than 6 months to create a full album] i feel for them - should people continue to buy their records? i think regardless of whether you like the band members if you like the music you should, why miss out on something you like just becaus eyou have a problem with one of the people creating it? Are FOB the best band? i think that they are great but i wouldnt call them the greatest; i doubt that they would call themselves the greatest either and as for the whole best band on the net - i’m sure that was meant tongue in cheek, because lets face it if you have read journal entries by pete you know he’s a sarcastic ass. to be fair yes people hate them but why? all they’re doing is something that they love and have worked hard for, if it wasn’t for media focus on pete and all of the things he’s doing would as many people still hate them? just because he has opinions and speaks his mind, which in a world where free speech is often hindered at the hands of the media is a rare occurance, people decide oh he’s arogant and so far up his own? if this was the case would the band spend as much time as they do meeting fans? i highly doubt it unlike some bands i know and have met these guys are grateful for everything that has happened to them. so dont hate what you dont know or understand, just because its not your musical taste doesnt allow you to bitch about it dont like it dont listen simple as, and attacking a guy for saying how he feels and speaking his mind is wrong - people fought to give us all the freedom to say how we feel and there are a lot of people out there bitching about him having his turn its sad, and no he doesn’t keep repeating everything over and over - you should blame the media for that.

so leave the guy alone, like i said everyone’s aloud to get pissed off - he just happens to have the media putting his words on a platform and presenting it to the masses

Kathryn | 2/1/2007, 7:09 pm EST

i dont get why somebody would do that to fall out boy. they are so amazing and dont deserve that

Ashley | 2/1/2007, 6:31 pm EST

im having my period right now so i can be a bit moody

DONT MAKE ME ANGRY!!!

Ashley | 2/1/2007, 6:23 pm EST

Look if you dont like fob or pete that’s your own choice . but dont go bashing the band or him . That shows your lack of maturity. Anybody would be upset if something they work on so hard got ruined like with their cd getting leaked. I refuse to download the cd . I rather support those boys by buying the cd. so they can come around on tours more . cd sales is what gets them in all these places that they do . For the pete bashers get a new job he’s loved by a lot more people than those who want to hate him. Cause does your bashing make them go away hell no it dont so quit wasting your typing skills to hate.

Felicia | 2/1/2007, 5:25 pm EST

Yeah, I downloaded it. and no, I don’t plan on buying it. Once a band reaches platinum status, twice, they no longer need my money. I will continue buying cds and merch from little bands who need it. NAH MEANNNNNN

simplifymedc | 2/1/2007, 4:52 pm EST

haha i laugh at the ignorance of so many people who post on these sites. they complain about all the attention that a band gets, and tell them to stop bitching when something they worked so hard on gets stolen from them(id like to see any one of them record a full album, get it prepared for the masses, and then 2-3 weeks before have it stolen and leaked online for everyone to download for free-and not get pissed), and then make the most outlandish and childish isults about homosexuality, when might i remind some of you “rockers,” a lot of the bands you look up to, and even band s from the 80s were no role models. they not only wore make up, spandex, leather, and most other things you would only(i hope) want to see on a girl, but they were also into a society heavily influenced by drugs. to me, theyre music is nearly worth nothing. if someone needs to be under an influence to feel “creative,” ill pass, thanks people need to just get over themselves, and get some help in seeking out some sense of security, because what you have is obviously false.

ps. hahaha tate! you got here before me!

Weeee | 2/1/2007, 4:25 pm EST

The Beatles suck.

Annoymous Tom | 2/1/2007, 1:51 pm EST

If you really cared waht people thought of your music pete you wouldn’t care if it got leaked as long as your music was heard. and believe me your cd is not one of the biggest leaks there ever was. ha. thats just funny. but stop thinking dollars and start thinking about how many people you have influenced with your music. thats what its all about

JASON TATE | 2/1/2007, 12:48 pm EST

I LEAKED THIS.

_TATE

lp | 2/1/2007, 12:32 pm EST

i’m annoyed by the notion some fall out boy haters have that their only audience is a bunch of middle school girls. clearly you have no idea of the following this band has had for the past 6 years. we might have been 15 then, but we’re relatively grown up now. so calm down with that nonsense.

as for the leak. who cares. we all know the album will still sell incredibly well annnd pete knows that, too. so he should probably quit his bitching.

jay | 1/31/2007, 10:23 pm EST

For all of the naysayers, these quotes were taken directly from falloutboyrock, from a journal entry posted by Pete Wentz. He obviously uses this method to keep FANS on alert about the goings on in the world of Fall Out Boy. It was the magazine who stripped it from fobrock and not Mr. Wentz who shouted it to the general public. It was for the loyal following. If you choose not to hear quotes taken (out of context) and put into a magazine such as Rolling Stone, it would me my suggestion to not read the magazine.

dave | 1/30/2007, 8:42 pm EST

A new television show coming to fox this Fall. Not too far in the near future. Pete Wentz, formerly of FOB, who is down on is his luck after his latest cd was leaked, lost a large amount of money ,and is now working at the same factory next to the guy who leaked it. From a 13 year old’s dreams to your Tv’s comes: The Pete Wentz and Jeff Lewandowski comedy hour.

Pete Wentz | 1/30/2007, 6:01 pm EST

even though i am gay, i will quench your thirst with my semen

uhhhhhh hey | 1/30/2007, 5:46 pm EST

Just listen to it if you like it.

If not, don’t.

Have nothing better to do than complain about things?

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

Lisah | 1/30/2007, 4:20 pm EST

Dave, there’s no need to bring Alk3 into this.

kb | 1/30/2007, 12:36 pm EST

>> If you hate them, just stop because you’re not entitled to having a negative inclination towards them.

So… we aren’t “entitled” to having
our own opinions, but only YOU are? F’k you, you arrogant, high-and-mighty a’hole.

Eat this Fall Out Boy. Leak these songs all you want :) bahahhaha

Mer | 1/29/2007, 8:06 pm EST

oh and most of all difference

Mer | 1/29/2007, 8:04 pm EST

I think the biggest thing people have problems with is acceptance.

dave | 1/29/2007, 5:56 pm EST

FOB is one of the biggest internet bands out there? Crap, I thought miracle jackson, and those kids that cover the HALO songs were. Anyhoo, yes comparitvely FOB is one of the biggest internet bands out there amongst other bands like As I lay dying, Senses Fail, Halifax, Chiodos and any other generic brand o music you can think of. Were this a few years ago, I do not think anybody would care. Infact nobody does except 13 year old girls. Alkaline Trio accepted the same fate , but there is/was one difference. At one time they were actually REALLY good, and possibly, they changed the whole punk/emo game because Matt likes to cry about aurora and 97.

PB | 1/29/2007, 5:23 pm EST

my mom is free too

PB | 1/29/2007, 4:23 pm EST

Music is free.

Drew | 1/29/2007, 4:05 pm EST

Why is he so mad in the first place? Their 1st two albums being passed around illegally is what got so many kids into that band in the first place. This isn’t going to be a big deal anyway. There still going to sell a cool million copies. All the little kids are going to still go out and get it or download it from itunes. Get over yourself, stop wearing shitty makeup or learn how to put it on and realize your 15 mins maybe about up. Soon you’re band will be forgotten by the mainstream when the next big thing comes. You have your loyal fans, you owe them something for putting you where you are, let them have the leaked album b/c they’re just going to buy it later when it comes out.

john | 1/29/2007, 3:44 pm EST

the band sucks, an nobody cares about your new cd or your old cd or anything, your a crappy band that took there name from a the simpsons, and your fans are all to young to even know what good music is, rolling stone please go back to being the great magazine you use to once be, then maybe i’ll start buying you again, fall out boy just give up already

Houses of the Holy | 1/29/2007, 2:18 pm EST

Wow, this magazine tries to carry prestige. Yet, this band that brings great displeasure to my ears is advertised in practically every issue and how could I forget, this is the same shitty magazine who bashed Led Zeppelin. Why do I even bother?

Brock Landers | 1/29/2007, 2:17 pm EST

That’s fine if he wants to be upset about it, but stop bitching to the public. Either way, I think this record is going to sell well and it’s probablly going to reach number 1 or 2. Also, Fall Out Boy is not real emo! Actually, a lot of the garbage that people think is emo is not emo to me. In my mind the real stuff is Jawbreaker,
Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, The Promise Ring, Get Up Kids, and Pinkerton Era Weezzer.

Paul | 1/29/2007, 12:30 pm EST

Who gives a fuck about Fall Out Boy, shitty emo crybabies that we have to wonder how the feel every 5 minutes. Here’s an idea Rolling Stone, stop being their bitch and reporting about Pete Wentz and the band and report about real music like you used to, not this shit they call music.

? | 1/29/2007, 11:45 am EST

Who is fallout boy? Ive never heard of them.Oh wait, arent they that shitty band that mtv shoves down your throat.They suck really really bad.People actually listen to that shit,wow.Thanks mtv, you suck you jackasses.Their music is for 15 yr old girls.Why is rolling stone even writing about these losers, they must be running out of ideas if they resort to talking about this band

OK | 1/29/2007, 8:03 am EST

I’m laughing at the fact that someone on this stupid message board said: Pete Wentz is the next Paul Mccartney! Hahah, da bassist wentz is the next mccartney? what was that? haha, no seriously, where do you guys come up with this crap? Da crybaby stuff is funny anyhow

Chris | 1/29/2007, 1:14 am EST

Cry me a river, Fall Out Boy. You’ve made your millions. Take your MySpace rock somewhere else…please! Let bands who deserve to be the biggest actually be on top.

I’d almost give them a shot if this guy wasn’t such an emotive crackwhore.

Bobob | 1/29/2007, 12:47 am EST

For people who don’t love FOB: do everyone a favor and just stop speaking so defamotorily about them, because it’s just due to the fact that you’re jealous. Jealous that Pete Wentz is the next Paul McCartney with his legendary song-writing and advanced single-note picking bass style; jealous that they–along with Panic! At the Disco and All-American Rejects–are making innovative, creative, and techically superior music; jealous that they FOB and you’re not!!

If you hate them, just stop because you’re not entitled to having a negative inclination towards them. I know that anyone who says they hate Fall Out Boy are either a)lying, b) ignorant, or c) have no idea what good music is all about–they probably even like The Mars Volta (which FOB is superior to them.)

Christy U. M. | 1/28/2007, 9:40 pm EST

Ok first off Fall Out Boy is always gonna be good unless they completely change their genre of music. They have an interesting style of music. Emo is not out at all, in fact no music is. I may be a teenager and to the world they think I don’t know music but Fall Out Boy is really good. I don’t listen to alot of main stream bands but this is one of the few that I personally love. Can you go out and travel the world playing instruments giving your heart and soul to your fans with your music? Can you give up your normal life just to please other people. That’s right you can’t even imagine going through it. And they go through it everyday. They worked hard on their album. So shut up about Fall Out Boy sucking. They are awesome to alot of people. Keep rocking Patrick, Andrew, Pete, and Joe.

Mer | 1/28/2007, 9:25 pm EST

I’m sorry guys, but “emo” as a type of music is over. And its a big deal when something like this happens in your job. Especially since this album was highly waited and sought up for. Its pretty much the same as working on a business proposial for months, then a week before you present it the heads find out and use it. But they dont need to give you money for it and they dont need to give you credit. Fall Out Boy really worked hard for this and this is almost like a relevation album which switching up their style. Its Debut!

QH | 1/28/2007, 9:17 pm EST

I recently saw them in concert and they were really good. All you snot rag teenagers like to do is bash music. Emo this, emo that? How old are you? 13? WTF? Music is music. How many of you have top albums, can play instruments, write songs, write music? I’m sure none of you! A word to the young(and some of you stupid) from an old time rocker, don’t be closed minded when it comes to music of any genre, you will miss out on a lot!

Pete Wentz | 1/28/2007, 7:04 pm EST

nobody likes u cuz u hav a tiny penis…now shut ur mouth and KISS ME!!!

Roxy | 1/28/2007, 6:54 pm EST

You guys r crazy Fall Out Boy dosnt suck. I dnt have their new cd but they do have a lot of good songs out there.

rockstrsbaby678 | 1/28/2007, 5:35 pm EST

uuhh…yeah Pete Wentz is an overachieving emo. baaadddd combo. bad.

Kaya Tribe | 1/28/2007, 4:56 pm EST

may I also add, emo sucks. protestemo.com

Kaya Tribe | 1/28/2007, 4:54 pm EST

who the hell is fallout boy? Is this some kind of new boy band? Thank god I listen to real music and don’t watch MTV.

Bobob | 1/28/2007, 3:07 pm EST

This is an outrage, not just for FOB fans, but for mankind in general. So much was hinging on this album not being leaked that now that is has been, I doubt that anything will ever be the same. It’s times like these in which I’m just so ashamed to be the way I am–a greedy consumer–and those who suffer the most from my errors are modern-day heroes like FOB.

I’ll buy their new CD, no question, but in the back of my mind, I’ll always wonder what this album could’ve been had it not been leaked. May God have mercy on us all.

Cate | 1/28/2007, 1:05 pm EST

I dont like FOB they arent emo becasue their new CD has lots of pop melodys and it really sucks

Shazza | 1/28/2007, 12:21 pm EST

I fell REALLY sorry for the whole band but especialy Pete, I’m gonna wait till the albums officialy out then buy it not be cheap and download it.

Anonymous | 1/28/2007, 12:01 pm EST

DO a little research before you throw around the term “emo”. FOB is not emo, panic is not emo and none of the pop rock bands today are emo. Real emo music hasn’t been around since Sunny Day Real Estate. So shove it up your ass.

RockGod | 1/28/2007, 11:52 am EST

This isn’t a leak. Chinese Democracy is a leak. And thats an album people are actually anticipating, thats why its so tight lipped and hasnt been fully leaked yet. But just look at the hype on the leaked demo’s, which are more valuable than a hardcopy of Fall Out Boys new CD!

Duuhh | 1/28/2007, 11:03 am EST

Come on, even if you hate Fall Out Boy (which I don’t, I love them) you shouldn’t react like this. No one deserves this. Its like working for 6 months and your boss sacking you without being paid.

Evan | 1/28/2007, 10:28 am EST

The biggest leak ever? Hah! Maybe before Neon Bible leaked…

God | 1/27/2007, 9:57 pm EST

I said “Let there be Pete”
and it was goooooood!

memyselfandi | 1/27/2007, 9:55 pm EST

jesus christ!
this sucks so much that their album leaked!!!
hell no i’d never download it.
i’d pay full money for FOB
stupid person who leaked it…..

fobfan | 1/27/2007, 9:51 pm EST

Awwww poor Pete!
Here, we can cry together.

I | 1/27/2007, 9:48 pm EST

People if you don’t care about FOB or Pete, just don’t comment or read the stupid story. You’re just mad & jealous ’cause he gets more press coverage for small stuff and you’ll never get any.

Pete Wentz | 1/27/2007, 8:00 pm EST

I am sad because my vagina hurts.

Elton John | 1/27/2007, 7:47 pm EST

I once had sex with Pete in 2004 at a McDonald’s in Memphis.

Toast f-er | 1/27/2007, 5:54 pm EST

Their music is like spikes in my brain.

anonymous | 1/27/2007, 5:13 pm EST

why is it such a big deal if the album leaks??? if it’s good music people will like it, and buy the album,but they’ll get the free download first.

ken vail jr. | 1/27/2007, 4:16 pm EST

boy pop music sure is lousy these days. oh well…there’s plenty of good stuff ‘outside’ the mainstream.

Larry | 1/27/2007, 4:09 pm EST

Sure.. this is definetely a rockstar..he did stick it in Ashley simpson..aside the music accomplishments..

ZACH | 1/27/2007, 3:52 pm EST

RS yall gave them a pretty good album review but yall still talk shit,,, its makeing me sick

Lobsters | 1/27/2007, 2:58 pm EST

Aw, let up on the poor kid. Rock stars have been bitching to us about this stuff for years, why you gotta pick on him? Oh, I know . . . Cause he sucks!

adam | 1/27/2007, 1:16 pm EST

pete always seems to be sad… so why is this news?

ffs. | 1/27/2007, 12:34 pm EST

for all these people who are making such a big deal about this, wtf are you reading this?! showing you don’t like them, by making then the centre of your criticism, really does give you a hell lot of credibility.

Guguis | 1/27/2007, 11:33 am EST

Some of my friends love this guy
i dont know what!! for me he isnt
cute

Olivia | 1/27/2007, 10:06 am EST

I love how most people here say they hate pete and emo and fall out boy but, they still take the time to read about them. hmmm…

barrel | 1/27/2007, 9:27 am EST

wow trance/vince you might be the most emo kid ever more so then the screemo band at my school. only the biggest emo kid doesnt know who bob dylan is

CurtMayfield | 1/27/2007, 7:01 am EST

Has anyone ever noticed that they are incapable of playing live, they really do suck live.

Kristine Dk | 1/27/2007, 4:33 am EST

Okay, guys.. what’s up with everybody talking shit about bands.. I know we all have different taste in music, but do we have to make others feel bad about themselves?? One thing I’ve learned about belonging to a haunted (yet big) group of people who love bands like My Chem, Panic!, FOB, AFI and so on, is that it hurts when people talk shit about your favorite band, so I’ve (almost) stopped talking shit about all the music a really, Sincerely HATE, cause i know that it means something to someone and i wouldn’t want them to feel the way i do when everybody is saying that Panic!; my Chem and FOB is a bunch of talentless or whatever.. I LOVE them and their music and if you don’t then who gives a fuck?? i don’t!! just keep your stupid comments to youself.. thanks!

And BTW, yes.. Pete is somewhat a mediawhore, a camwhore and a big dramaqueen, but thats why we love him

you guys shouldnt be so hard on fob seeing as that its only pete thats being somewhat of an ass about the leak. but to be honest, you probably would be really upset if your album leaked on the internet before its release date.

Steve | 1/27/2007, 1:51 am EST

I would love to take a leak on Pete Wentz’ head as payback for being subjected to Fall Out Boy.

likroper.com | 1/27/2007, 1:37 am EST

i just took a leak…

jennie | 1/27/2007, 12:38 am EST

Dave | 1/26/2007, 10:41 pm EST

The album blows. As does everything Fallout Boy related. The band probably pulled an Axl Rose and leaked the album on their own to guage fan response. Then died a little inside when everyone hated it.

kristin flippin | 1/26/2007, 10:01 pm EST

boo. I like the authenticity of opening the new cd and unwrapping it and hearing it for the first time. I don’t want to have to download it and have my first memory of the music to be some greedy download.

Lala | 1/26/2007, 9:39 pm EST

OMG im soooooooooo freakin pissed that their album leaked i however am not going to listen to it because i am crazy obssesd fan but i can wait til feb 6th only 11 more days im counting lol its even marked on both of my calenders

alex | 1/26/2007, 8:08 pm EST

thats a band from the sixties in case all you fob fans were wondering

Harlequin Girl | 1/26/2007, 7:53 pm EST

Someone I knew left I copy of it in my locker because they know how much I like Fall Out Boy. I don’t care, even if I do have the songs already, I’m still going to buy the CD– I don’t actually support downloading full CDs, especially before they’re out.

Oasis is a horrible band and Fall Out Boy isn’t emo in the least bit. Well, Pete seems to be, but the music isn’t. Emo is something you slit your wrist to for Christ’s sakes. People should learn what they’re talking about before they bother saying anything.

Anonymous | 1/26/2007, 6:35 pm EST

Don’t people have better things to do than sit around and make fun of what Pete says? Yeah, he over exaggerated, but the cd leaked. You would feel the same if it happened to you. Personally, I think it is becoming a much bigger deal than it needs to be, and I am totally buying the new cd.

J | 1/26/2007, 6:28 pm EST

I’ll be glad to tkae a moment.

rawr | 1/26/2007, 6:24 pm EST

To be honest, I did download it.
I will buy it.
The day it comes out!
Pete (AND THE REST OF FALL OUT BOY) have a reason to be upset. They wanted to present this in a certain way.
They’ve been working on this for so long, and if you heard it, you’d know what I mean. FOB changed their sound, they grew as a band. Not many bands can do that and still make it amazing.
Give Pete a fucking break and stop analyzing every single thing he does at such a time.

ilovedouches | 1/26/2007, 6:16 pm EST

peter wentz is my reason for living

niki | 1/26/2007, 6:07 pm EST

chill out pete! ill still buy ur fucking album!

Randon | 1/26/2007, 5:35 pm EST

Yeah jack, what do you do walk around with your popped collar and your sisters jeans and listen to all emo, you clearly have no idea what good music is. Your type of people is what is wrong with America today, and the music that is popular.

Randon | 1/26/2007, 5:33 pm EST

Somebody said “This new album isnt near as good as the first one”

I wasnt aware the first one was “good” As far as im concerned this guy is just coporate music bullcrap, and he needs to not wear makeup and his sisters jeans, seriously.

niki | 1/26/2007, 5:31 pm EST

ok i just wanna say that i do like fall out boy and yes ill buy the cd, but damn it, i seriously hate that son of a bitch pete!!! he is so full of himself!

Randon | 1/26/2007, 5:24 pm EST

Um..is it me or do other people truly hate these fairy’s as much as I do? I hate them and every other emo band, their worthless and wouldn’t even know how to make good music.

Jessica | 1/26/2007, 5:02 pm EST

“biggest leak in history”…………HA!
As much as i love Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz is such an attention whore. i hate him.
i like Patrick better….

Chuck | 1/26/2007, 5:00 pm EST

If you were truly confident in your work, it wouldn’t matter. Granted it is frustrating, but if your music is timeless it makes no difference at all. Make legendary timeless music and not trend following “of the moment” crap, and your concience is eased.

blondy | 1/26/2007, 4:58 pm EST

He looks so gr8 with eye liner on. sexy!

blondy | 1/26/2007, 4:57 pm EST

Fall out boy rocks, and this album is wicked. Pete wentz is sooo hot!

travis.watkins002 @ YIM | 1/26/2007, 4:52 pm EST

I want to use this guys skull as a condom

Marc | 1/26/2007, 4:44 pm EST

I got the album and let me tell you that it isnt nearly as good as the previous one. Not even close.

If I was a professional artist as well, I wouldnt be too thrilled about the leak myself and im sure 98% of you wouldnt like it either.

WIGO | 1/26/2007, 4:43 pm EST

What the hell is going on? the sales of records are dropping. could it be perhaps this kind of thing, i guess it may be music is being sold to the masses? The poor thing, rolling stone is not helping with the situation, you keep perpetuating this crap, by not letting us let go these people, or may we say this dick.

kyguy | 1/26/2007, 4:19 pm EST

Not a day goes by without this dick’s picture on this homepage.

Jay | 1/26/2007, 3:59 pm EST

Hey Jack- I like your style. I don’t care either way. Everyone else: Guess what, good music sticks around and bad music dissapears. In the mean time, have a good time and be nice.

IMightBeWrong | 1/26/2007, 3:48 pm EST

While I have never been part of a major-label band, and I honestly probably wouldn’t if the chance came up… But if I were Poor Pete - this is what I would do:

I would try and discuss my panged observations on life and the music industry with my bandmates - when those cries fell on deaf ears I would have but only one other option - to disband and call it quits, encouraging my “rockin” bandmates to do the same, never to again record a note so long as they live. Yeah, that’s precisely what I would do IF I WERE HIM.

Hey, dumbass - life’s hard, certainly harder for some than others (you and your talentless crew belong in the “others” catagory, BTW). Everybody’s music gets leaked, deal with it, asshole. Radiohead’s last 3 albums along with Thom Yorke’s debut were all leaked well before release, they never made a big hubbub about any of it. And to my knowledge you people haven’t put out an album that in it’s entirety is 1/10th as good as a single song of theirs. Go back to high school where people liked you - well, maybe some of them anyways.

ljs with love... | 1/26/2007, 3:41 pm EST

wow, congratulations katie, i’m glad you are denying the temptation that is illegally downloading the new fall out boy album. guess you’ll have to wait until jan. 30 to find out for yourself that it sucks.

JessT | 1/26/2007, 3:40 pm EST

fall out boy is creating a whole new genre of people who don’t know what the word music is, let alone to appreciate it.

so why do they keep interferring with rock?

fall out boy was great when they were underground,
things change;)

ljs with love... | 1/26/2007, 3:36 pm EST

oops, i misquoted. “one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet” thought i’d clear that up in case any of those fall out boy fans might try to attack my misquote. but then again, most “fob” fans don’t understand how to correctly hold a conversation. e.g.–omg fob is da shit. u ppl dont no wha u talkin bout. fob rulz, omg!

katie | 1/26/2007, 3:33 pm EST

it was tempting to download it, there were links everywhere!
but im doing pretty good so far on waiting until it comes out for real.

ljs with love... | 1/26/2007, 3:31 pm EST

hahahahahahahaha.
“one of the biggest rock bands on the internet.” hahahaha. oh man…

ryan | 1/26/2007, 2:57 pm EST

everyone’s album leaks, get over it, fall out boy blows

Pat | 1/26/2007, 2:51 pm EST

Please everyone steal this album, do not give these dousche bags any money! This isn’t even close to be the biggest leak, even the Lillywhite Sessions are a bigger leak and they were never going to be an album. And as for Pete Wentz, you are the biggest tool of them all, I am sure MTV will help you out.

James | 1/26/2007, 2:47 pm EST

Pete is a douche and Fall Out Boy will be gone in about another 10 seconds. Get over yourself and get back into the tabloids you fake rocker prick.

LR | 1/26/2007, 2:37 pm EST

I can’t stand Fall Out Boys music but somehow I can’t help looking at their bullshit gossip. I guess I just want them to fail but I neeed help. Somebody help Me!

nick | 1/26/2007, 2:29 pm EST

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

Also a bigger leak

Olivia | 1/26/2007, 2:28 pm EST

I love fall out boy, i feel bad for pete. I am also refusing to listen to IOH until feb.6th…the day it was supposed to come out.

The Reverend James Beautiful | 1/26/2007, 2:27 pm EST

OK this is officially the dumbest Story I have read in months, Boo Frickin Hoo, your album leaked! I Had a leak copy of The Libertines 2nd Album almost 6 months before it came out and that freakin album was everywhere (and it was really good). My Point is that leaks allow people to make a judgment whether they like an album enough to purchase it. After 6 months of loving the Libertines self titled I bought both a vinyl and cd copy. If Sales and Marketing don’t like this new trend tough-tits.

PS: Fall out boy is for middle school girls… They don’t download leaked records anyway do they?

nick | 1/26/2007, 2:23 pm EST

Tool - 10000 Days

Also a bigger leak

finn slevin | 1/26/2007, 2:19 pm EST

this guy keeps hitting a new low every time there’s news of him. and why is he the only one of them complaining? because he’s the absolute famewhore, that’s why, trying to get fans to sympathize with his “pain” and all that shit. well, boohoo!

thank god the other three guys in the band (yes, there are other guys in the band and who’d i like to believe are the ones with the real talent) are smart enough to keep their mouth shut, because the truth is, these days, album leaks on the internet help artists gain even more album sales eventually. it makes music reach out to more and more people, the way it should be. i wouldn’t be eagerly awaiting bloc party’s new album if i didn’t get hold of some of the songs that were leaked somewhere — and yes, i will be buying the physical CD of the album, don’t worry, when it comes out (and when it fits my budget). that’s the beauty of getting free music off the ‘Net! it gives you a preview of great things to come and you’re left wanting more… so you skip a lunch or two, shell out a few bucks to buy the CD knowing it will be worth it. free music on the internet isn’t the enemy (music that sucks, like fob’s, is though). and pete, being in one of the biggest rock bands in the internet right now, should know that.

Brian | 1/26/2007, 2:08 pm EST

Biggest leak in music history= Kid A, no doubt about it. Pete Wentz, I haven’t heard your turd of a record yet, but I can assure you it is no Kid A.

Also Pete, if you don’t know what Kid A is, please use your google search or wikpedia it

Anonymous | 1/26/2007, 1:58 pm EST

If the Rolling Stones showed us anything, it’s that bands make their money on the road. I got news for ya, this leak didn’t hurt sales. People who found this album online would have found it online after its release as well. Stop crying.

And also…this is far from the biggest leak in the history of music. Are people that excited about the follow up to Under the Cork Tree (a decent, far from spectacular album)?

bleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaghhhhhh | 1/26/2007, 1:57 pm EST

fall out boy suck donkey balls, pete wentz is a moaning dipshit, and the nme are arseholes because they’ve eliminated the whole concept of buying albums by posting them on their fucing website.

Justin Ling | 1/26/2007, 1:53 pm EST

Man, do I ever hope this album BOMBS.

I hope it does so bad that their next c.d will be a collection of karaoke hits found exclusively in the $5.99 discount bin.

Wayne | 1/26/2007, 1:52 pm EST

why do we need so many updates about this “story” this week? Their album leaked and they’re upset about it. We get it. We don’t need reminders. It’s not important.

jungleland | 1/26/2007, 1:51 pm EST

The music being leaked won’t hurt sales for their real fan, but it kinda sucks for the promotional schedule and trying to create a buzz.

I think bands should release 2-3 songs as a leak on i-tunes (like the Rolling Stones did)to cut this down.

In the end, all of their crying over this is just more publicity, ’cause I barely knew who they were before this

Matt | 1/26/2007, 1:31 pm EST

“This could be the worst leak in the history in music.”

I spit my coffee out all over my computer screen when I read that.

Albums leak, get over yourselves boys

Brian | 1/26/2007, 1:30 pm EST

Oh, poor Pete Wentz. Your shitty album leaked onto the internet? Get over it. It happens to everyone. You’re such an artist why don’t you progress your sound from album to album. The shit I hear on the radio sounds like the same thing you released last year but with new name.

Dmouth | 1/26/2007, 1:29 pm EST

Hey Jack. Eat shit. What bands do you listen to? Panic at the Disco?

Jack | 1/26/2007, 1:27 pm EST

Why do I get the feeling that all of these posts are from guys who couldn’t get laid if they tried. Don’t worry about bands like FOB, just go back to your D&D!

Audrey | 1/26/2007, 1:18 pm EST

Who cares?They suck.Their nothing but meaningless songs that dont make people feel anything, half of them dont even make any sence. The point of music is to make people feel something, and that is not what their doing.

Dmouth | 1/26/2007, 1:11 pm EST

Fall Out Boy sucks a cock. They, and emo in general, are ruining music.

Anonymous | 1/26/2007, 1:09 pm EST

Fallout Boy is a badass band. I will definitly buy then new album, but I will also download some of the songs too. So whats the difference if there is a leak. The real fans will buy the cd anyway so “No Worries”

wOnderwank | 1/26/2007, 1:06 pm EST

Oasis sucks equally as bad as Fall out Boy. At least FOB hasn’t done an F’n at&t commercial, I guess..
But yea - both awful.

charliemapleton | 1/26/2007, 1:05 pm EST

Pete,when’s the last time you ever read a “Chicken Soup” book?…Yeah,I thought so.If that’s not heplful enough,then I know the help of some spiritual advisors:’Pac,Mary,Erykah,and Stevie-why not?

charliemapleton | 1/26/2007, 1:01 pm EST

Pete,when’s the last time you ever read a “Chicken Soup” book?If that’s not heplful enough,then I know help of a few spiritual advisors:2Pac,Mary J. Blige,and Stevie Wonder-make that choice.

w0nderwall | 1/26/2007, 1:00 pm EST

Fall Out Boy sucks. There is no such thing as emo. Oasis is the greatest rock band on the internet, on tour, in the record store, and everywhere in the world!

tom | 1/26/2007, 12:57 pm EST

Wow, that guy is a tool… I’m gonna go download the new Fall Out Boy album for free right now!!! And then I’ll never listen to it.
