Fall Out Boy never pretended that we were anything but pop-rock.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?
We thought that's the way you were supposed to be if you were in a rock 'n' roll band. Flamboyant.
I was never into smart college boy music.
In Fall Out Boy, I noticed that I wasn't putting all that much soul into it. It was just kind of screaming, I guess. I was just dying to get out of there!
I used to think when I was in the Go-Go's that we were as wild as any of the boy bands.
I never really felt like a rock singer or a rock star or whatever.
One of the things that always was Fall Out Boy was trying new things and kind of pushing ourselves in different directions.
If I was going to do Fall Out Boy, I wanted it to be a real outlet for my writing.
When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.
