On the Tour Bus with Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is and Cobra Starship

fall out boy the academy is... cobra starship honda civic

In our ongoing efforts to tell you how emo guys really live, we caught up with Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is and “Snakes on a Plane” dudes Cobra Starship at the New York stop of the catchily-named Honda Civic Tour. Not all emo bands are created equal — some get two buses, and some get a couch with holes in it; some get master bedrooms and others get closets. But that didn’t stop any of the bands from cramming as much as they could fit onto their buses for the two-month trek with Paul Wall.

Read on and find out which band member gets gifts of cereal, which band finds alcohol behind every door and whose closet is full of dresses. (more…)

a message for chuck t: interesting how you post comments on this page yet claim that you dont care about these bands. lets think now, if you REALLy didnt care would you be here leaving commentS?

i dont think they are emo. but thats my opinion. who is to say what is emo and what is not? lets be open minded here.

OK, offically sick of people using acronyms instead of band names. Took me a good 5 minutes to figure out who TAI and CS were…use the DAMN NAMES, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!!

And yes, The Black Parade is a heavily classic rock influence EMO ALBUM. Not to say I didn’t enjoy it, but don’t try to hide what it is. (And by the way, Gerard Way sucks as a live singer…he doesn’t go for the high notes on songs like “Welcome to the Black Parade”)

OK, offically sick of people using acronyms instead of band names. Took me a good 5 minutes to figure out who the hell TAI and CS were. SPELL THE DAMN NAMES, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!

And yes, “The Black Parade” is an incredibly emo album, MCR an incredibly emo band, but the album is heavily influenced by classic rock.

Casey | 6/16/2007, 2:06 pm EST

Ummmm TAI and CS emo? Not? How about pop rock? or dance rock? Emo? Um NO!!! And while we’re at it can we just make that “genre” go away. Post hardcore emo is just about out the door with only a few really good bands left doing it. And definitely not ones that this magazine or it’s readers care about. Face it RS you only cater to “old school” rock or current bands that are trying to resurrect it, rap and hip & hop. What you will write about the current rock scene is pitiful. Where were you at Bamboozle? Yeah that’s what I thought.

Oh and to the person who commented on WTTBP, I so hope you were being sarcastic. MCR is not emo and the album (especially live) is gut wrenching, amazing rock & roll.

Jesus | 6/15/2007, 2:00 am EST

God and I listen to emo a lot. Or should I say that I listen to emo a lot? Am I God or the son of God? I can never keep it straight. Whatever. I totally love Pete Wentz and want to sin all over him.

Jeff | 6/12/2007, 1:09 pm EST

dude, people who say a band sucks because people call them emo are so fucking closeminded, it almost hurts. You know what? That new Fall Out Boy album has a few good songs on it. Suprise! OMG! Who saw that one coming?? And by the way, “The Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance is such an emo album…”I Don’t Love You” is soooo emo, and the rest of the album is about being sad or dead. Now, I’m not knocking it (I own the damn record), but it is indeed emo…just classic rock influenced emo.

Don VIto | 6/8/2007, 3:02 pm EST

Tori emo girl, I think you need to chill out a bit, we all have our opinions and we have the right to voice those opinions, although RS just deletes the ones that are against their own opinions I agree w/ chuck in that respect. Actually this is the second post I’ve put on here but SURPRISE SURPRISE RS deleted it!

Tori "emo girl' | 6/8/2007, 12:54 pm EST

okay… i have no idea what i wrote last night… i was a bit…well…i don’t really know… all i know is… i like the bands… they have good music, and alot of them are hott… so, yeah…sorry if i said something that got feathers all ruffled…

Stuporfly | 6/8/2007, 11:02 am EST

It’s not a racist remark, you nitwit.

I’m white & semi-suburban, though when I see you dumb emo kids, it makes me ashamed to be either one.

anonymous | 6/8/2007, 3:11 am EST

emo girl u r a stupid whore

Tori "emo girl' | 6/7/2007, 11:58 pm EST

shelley, i’m terribly sorry, it has been a terribly long day… excuse me for putting three words in front of the albums name… and if you would have read my second comment… you would understand what i meant… hopefully you will now… and please do not tell me i don’t know what i’m talking about… thank you… i hope you have a wonderful night…

Tori "emo girl' | 6/7/2007, 11:56 pm EST

whow…just saw the racist remark at the bottom of stuporflys post… thats wrong… i don’t judge people, just because you have a different ethnic background doesn’t mean you can’t like this music or play this kind of music… i mean… that is ridiculous…it isn’t 1954 and we don’t have segregation laws… so yeah… you have alot to say and you aren’t white? go ahead, and, if i like the music and it isn’t just a bunch of crap… i’ll listen to it alot…

shelley | 6/7/2007, 11:54 pm EST

k…um ‘emo girl’ lets start with this…’welcome to the black parade’ is a song not a cd so that is example number one that u dont know what you are talking about..
and ‘the black parade’ isnt emo music, unless u consider queen, the beatles or pink floyd emo, so…dont use ‘the black parade’ as evidence in ur (futile) arguement that emo music has some redeeming qualities about it…cuz it doesnt.

Tori "emo girl' | 6/7/2007, 11:39 pm EST

yes, thats what i wrote,and i meant every word, just because you believe one thing doesn’t mean i believe it… i don’t judge people who have bad taste in music, and i don’t like labels, hence the quotation marks areou the “emo girl” thats what people say i am… i think its bull… if you like the music, you like it, if you don’t you don’t… but there is no reason to trash peoples music when its about them and what they like… not everyone likes it, i know that, but i do… and yeah… thats about it

Stuporfly | 6/7/2007, 9:34 pm EST

This, apparently, is what Tori “emo girl” wrote…

okay, not all emo bands have terrible sad songs… if you believe that, you obviously don’t have any idea what good music is… those songs have meanings, most are about things those people lived through and recoverd from… like “welcome to the black parade”, The cd from My Chemical Romance. it may not be about themselves, but it is about what really happens to people, and in a way, about how they want death to be like, and how the ‘patient’ wants death to be like… don’t judge someone because you don’t what there songs mean and because you think that all the songs are sad and terrible… because the bands are “emo”…

And this is how what Tori “emo girl” wrote wound up when it entered my brain…

okay, not all emo bands have terrible sad blah blah blah garden variety suburban angst blah blah blah white kids are deeper than everyone else and therefore have more to whine about blah blah blah…

QUISTHAMMER | 6/7/2007, 8:43 pm EST

So instead of partying like rock stars the prissy guys in these lame bands spend their time sipping soy shakes and wearing dresses. Why am I not surprised!!

Cobra Starship is far from “emo”, and refering to them as the “Snakes on a Plane dudes” is bunk.
