“Gimme Shelter” Director Albert Maysles Focuses In on Fall Out Boy

12/5/07, 4:54 pm EST

From the strange collaboration department: Famed documentarian Albert Maysles has found a new subject to focus his lens on: Fall Out Boy. According to reports, the eighty-year-old Maysles has been ridin’ dirty on the Fall Out Boy tour bus, filming behind-the-scenes footage of the band for an upcoming documentary. Take a moment, check the Imdb and collect your thoughts. Maysles and his deceased brother David were the auteurs behind films like the Rolling Stones rockumentary Gimme Shelter, Salesman, Rock Daily favorite Grey Gardens (pictured above), countless films about the artwork of Christo and behind-the-scenes shorts about the making of Wes Anderson films. Now, the octogenarian is hanging with Fall Out Boy? We can only imagine the footage he’s collected so far: Pete Wentz blogging away on his computer, Ashlee Simpson floating in and out of frame, legions of teenage girls screaming, Patrick Stump practicing guitar riffs, Wentz faux-DJng at his club. Actually, the possibilities are endless. Keep rolling, Al.

Sorry RS, yours is not the magazine that can get away with the tone of this post. You guys find a reason to mention one or all of these guys every single day……and now you’re crying foul on Maysles?

Well, the guy IS 80 years old.. he probably THINKS they are a good band.

But its sad, cause by the time this documentary comes out, they’ll already be last month’s flavor. Well, the tweens will buy it. That will make money.

I’m not one to critize the mag too much, it’s much more fun to make fun of the labotimized freaks who post on this thing!!!

But RS, enough Enough ENOUGH with these these talentless children from Fall Out Boy. Some of us actually still give a shit about the music, not another boy band who just happens to be able to play 3 chords!!! Fuck Them!
