Q: what's it like when people tell you that fall out boy saved their life?
A: burden. relief. humbled. like this whole stupid glossy thing actually meant something. i think of these people when we have to do b.s. radio stuff and our music is played in cruddy movies. it helps me hope that it is all really worth it.

“I LOVE FALL OUT BOY!”

nope they didn't save my life but when i reeeealy sad they just make things better :) but when i heard they were going to break up i got soooooo sad. i cried for like 2 weeks. just because i've NEVER seen them live :( But i'm hoping they join back together. I LOVE FOB! [heehee im obssesed] X)

“im probably about 2 say what every1 else just said cuz i just skipped though it but ill still say it”

fall out boy didnt really save my life... it wasn't in need of saving. fall out boy just made it way better. the night i went to the concert at the filmore was the best night of my life! i had an ear infection and my ears were super sensitive to noise and fall out boy made me forget all about it. theyre music is like magic, it can always make me feel better. the morning i heard they broke up i couldnt stop crying and i still cry sometimes, but im just glad that fall out boy excisted in the first place, they made my life so much better. fall out boy inspires me. when i cant paint i put on some fall out boy and i can just start going and as gratful as i am for them i am fairly peeved at pete cuz it seems like the breakup is mostly his fault. i wanted to go to at least one more concert and get at least one more CD, the more recant music is soo amazing, how could they quit when it was getting so great?! and well, they were all out of the tour shirts so i couldnt get one from the concert and i REALLY want one! fall out boy has brought me so much happiness but then they had to go break up! and that brought alot of hurt :( but thnx for being great for a while. i complain (alot, and annoy the h*** out of my friends and family) but i truely appreciate you

“Thanks”

It's nice to hear that. You have your own opinions about it. free advertising |employment|latex mattress

“HOLY JEHOVAS WITNESS”

In "cruddy movie" are you thinking of The Fog(2005)? Because I'd have to agree with you. It was a cruddy movie.

“"really"”

when ever one of my friends day that it bugs me cause all they know is there popular songs that are made into videos. they havent even heard one of there albums fully through.

“your saving my life:)”

FOB's is saving my life because every time something bad happen's to my,like at home, i keep the feelings in and dont let them out so there just sitting in my mind making me sadder, so when i listin to FOB's i think if pete and how his life was growing up and im thinking to my self i sound not let this ruin my life because some people have or had it worse then me. So now every time something happens to me i listin to FOB's(mainly Thanks for the memories, and 20 dollar nose bleed) its make me cry for a while then im over it.

“fall out boy..”

ok. so i started listening to fall out boy in 2005. i went to my first fob concert in 2007- the young wild things tour. the second i saw them, tears were falling down my face. i couldn't hold everything in. fob means everything to me. in 08, i was going through a lot, and i was suicidal. all i remember is sitting in my backyard listening to From Under The Cork Tree. the lyrics of champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends changed my entire thought process. i found healthier ways to let out my anger. now, i turn to fall out boy for everything(:

“sniff”

this made me tear up a little... pete, you're such a great person.

“Saved my life! ”

So, middle school as well as high school was really tough for me. Not because I didnt have friends; I had plenty of those. There was a lot happening to me. But I didnt really start listening to FOB until 7th grade.Before then, I was slowly becoming anti-social and not doing much of anything; almost failing classes and everything. When i started listening to FOB, I could really relate to the lyrics and loved the msgs. Everyday atleast once, i listen to FOB. If im not having a good day, i find myself listening to them even more. Since then, ive pretty much came out of my shell again and im back to being an A student in college! Now, all my friends know when something is wrong because im listening to FOB and not smiling. I love it, its my addiction! And theres no telling where i would be if it wasnt for FOB and there great music!

“My Fall Out Boy Story”

I First Dicovered FOB When I Was Seven Years Old. Didnt Know Who The Hell They Were; But I Liked The Songs. A Couple Of Years Later, I Went Into A Record Store, With A Lot Of Cash. I Was Going To Buy My First CD. I Was Gonna Buy A Feeling Cd (I Think They Are S*** Now.) But Then I Saw This Cover With A Sheep Thing On (It Was Right Next To Feeling; Alphabetical.) I Looked At the Tracks On The CD. "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" Caught My Eye. One Of My Favourite Songs At The Time. I Went To The Checkout; Caught the Bus Home And Started Listening When I Got Home. I Had Fallen In love With Fall Out Boy. Now, A Couple Of Weeks Later, I Was Having A VERY Hard Time At School. Extreme. All My Friends Were Just Ignoring Me. Sad, Sad, Time (weeps). Anyhozzle. FOB Got Me Through That. I Then Went Onto Buy Folie A Deux, And Worked Out What ALL The Songs Meant. (Apart From Tiffany Blews.) Now I Own All The Most Famous FOB Cds, And An American Import Of BND. I Have Just Joined A New School Were People Think Of Me An Oddity Cuz I Dont Like Hip Hop And Pop And Dance And Stuff. They Say I Headbang To Fob. (What The F***) And Say I Slit My Wrists. Call Me A Mosher Cuz I Like Them. Now This Is NOT True Obviously. But Like Somebody Else Who posted On Here, My Friends Dont See An Art In FOB. Think There C***. Anyhozzle. I Think I Am A True FOB Fan, They Have Saved My Life, And They Are On A Break. Simples. (lol) PS. I Cant Stop Reading The Believers Never Die Album Booklet :D-I Also Love The Interview You Did For Virgin TV On Demand (Or Maybe They Boiught It) But its Close To My Heart. :) >>>LOnG lIvE ThE CaR CrAsH HeArTs<<<

“so like;;”

FOB didnt save my life they just made me one of those people who don't like rap, r&b, and hip hop :], Wait;; so i guess they pretty much did save my life because that kind of music is kinda LAME. [sorry got carried away...]

“FallOutBoy is life. (this is pointless, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. )”

Fall Out Boy is a basic necessity such as food or water. FOB keeps me going through my tough days. I can't say that I have been with them through the years. I never really knew what FOB was until my friend told me that their music videos are funny, and i should check them out. I never really did until "America's Suitehearts" became popular. After watching all their music videos, I fell in love. I loved their music, and I could connect to it. I've only seen them once live which was on The Blink-182 tour. I even cried when they came out on stage, and lost my voice by their first song from screaming. My friends tell me that their songs have no meaning and they're nothing but a waste of time, they just don't know what art is. They don't know how "listen" to the lyrics and try and get what the band is saying, before you judge them. Many people put FOB into a box based on their looks, and their sound. When people take a look at FOB they think "emo" . Each person in FOB has their own sense of style, which they contribute to FOB and who they are. When I look back to "Take This To Your Grave" to "Folie A Deux" I do notice that FOB has changed, but for the better. FOB has not "sold out" but "grown up". Many people don't know, but that FOB's songs are based off of life events. When FOB worked on TTTYG they were between the ages of 18-23. Around that age you talk about how these are the golden years and how life couldn't get better, and small relationships which tend not to work out. You also have free time on your hands, which Andy, Joe, Patrick, and Pete used to write music. As you get older you find that it's time to get serious. A band can't be your only source of income, which might make you take up another job, which won't can get into your own time, in this case, writing music. It's also about finding the perfect spouse, that you could spend an eternity with. FOB used these experiences to write their recent albums such as Folie a Deux. By the way sorry about the long paragraph. Correct me if I'm wrong, these are more of opinions than facts. I know for a fact that FOB has inspired many people to pick a guitar, and learn how to play. Call me a nerd, but I play the clarinet(which I am forced to) and have asked for FOB sheet music; yes they do have it. I've even started to teach myself how to play guitar. If I were asked to put FOB in a category of music, based on my opinion, I would say that it would depend on the album. As you look through FOB's albums you notice that they add a different taste of music into each one, such as emo, pop, alternative, punk, and even a little hip hop. This shows that FOB likes to mix things up to keep their fans satisfied. FOB never really follows what the critics say about their music, but instead do it their own way, so they can express who they are, and to show others to always be yourself. Again this is my opinion. When FOB recorded "Sugar We're Going Down" they were told that the chorus had no meaning and repeated itself too much. The guitars and bass were to heavy throughout the song, and that it would never make it to the radio. FOB ignored it and left it as is. The outcome of their sucess is having diehard fans throughout the world. Over 1.6 million fans on facebook. Becoming the inspiration of many people.... and many more. So yes, Fall Out Boy has saved my life. FOB gives meaning to my life. I am very different from my friends. They don't find art in FOB, and don't want to give it a chance. I feel sorry for them, because FOB is more than music, but an art. It's hard to find people that have the same thoughts and feelings towards FOB as me. This is just what I have taken out of my experiences with Fall Out Boy and there will NEVER be another ~Fall Out Boy~ <Long Live The Car Crash Hearts>

“saved lives”

i wouldn't say they saved my life! but they got me through some really hard times. 7 mins in heaven is close to my heart.

“you guys”

totally didn't saved my life. but you make it a whoooole lot better.

“Fixed”

You probably heard that a lot...but you saved my life too. For a long time you were the therapist pumping through my speakers...delivering just what I needed...And I'll never be thankful enough. I wear The BatH'art everyday of my life and am so greatful of living..partly because of your music. Thanks for everything.

“You havnt saved me...your helping make me.”

I have aspirations of being a professional soccer player. Your song thriller gets me through all the tough training and bull shit coaches. cry on the couch watch the poets come to life...I wanna be the poet.

“wow...just wow”

you HAVE saved my life..if my life was somehow in danger...o.O but your lyrics really help me if i'm feeling unhappy, they just speak to me, you know? they explain the way i feel and they have a great meaning to me... please keep writing your songs. please. :)

“For what it's worth”

We love fall out boy, more than chocolate... more than boyfriends and more than anything else...

“yeah, so”

you didnt literally save my life, but you sure helped me. your lyrics really do mean a lot to me. its like you actually understand things no one else does or seems to get. and your songs have the right ammount of everything in them. they do have soem more serius lines that make you say they toatlly get how i feel, but theres also the little funny hidden meassages in them. i mean if you pick up one of your lyric books and actually read it good, you can find that one line thata just makes your day because its either funny or soemthing about it. and if i have one of those days that you just dont see the point of anything and feel like crying, i just listen toa asong of yours and its like i found teh cure. i know it might sound weird but its true

“But it is true”

You really did save my life...If it weren't for you I'd be stuck in a depression...I won't be the person I am now...Your the one who makes me smile when I'm down...And remember if you're sad, don't worry your fans are here for you...
