Patrick Stump want’s you to pick a new song for his upcoming solo album. “Spotlight (New Regrets)” and “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia) can be heard over on patrickstump.com and after listening cast your vote for your favorite.
“I recorded 2 separate versions of ‘Spotlight’ and after months I still can’t decide which one should go on the record. If you’ve got a minute, please take a listen and let me know which one you prefer.”
The single is available for pre-order here along with t-shirts here. The songs are also available for downloadon Facebook.
why are you doing this to me? solo? SOLO, MR.STUMP? solo…if you need your machete back, you’ll find it smack dab in the middle of my heart. that dramatic? i’m a teenage girl. just a band-aide. toss me into the river and watch me float away. i just listened to “the worlds not waiting” in the shower and now i have to face a solo career. you’ve always been my favorite. MY FAVORITE LIAR. this is some sell-out behavior. i stuck with you through folie a deux..which was terrible. the superfluous shit seriously almost made me drive off the blue bridge they just built in this town. ugh. anyway..machete. you know where to find it.
Calm down, Rachel.
Just because Patrick’s gone solo doesn’t mean you can’t still like Evening Out..etc.
Patrick isn’t selling out by being solo, in fact he’s being really true to himself. If he was to write an album with FOB that he didn’t mean that would be selling out. Breaking away and following new roots is completely the opposite.
I know you’re upset, it’s understandable. I remember being distraught at FOB’s ‘hiatus’, but unlike you I was really happy at this news.
Soon you’ll accept this, just like you did with the ‘terrible’ Folie A Deux as you call it.
:0. what happened to long live the car crash hearts?!
no, new roots aren’t created, sir..or madame.
new branches are created. his roots lie and die with fob.
:c. from those branches, leaves ensue. this is a leaf.
leaves die with the frost, and hopefully the frost wakes him up.
they’re all taking off doing their own thing, spinning off.
Time doesn’t have to touch everything. Not perfection, and those boys are perfection.
men, i guess. if the beastie boys can still get on stage and act like complete parkinson’s victims then fob can oblige me (and every other obsessed teenage girl) too. i’m too young to watch my hero’s scatter off into the wilderness of showbusiness.
Don’t you dare take his side..their side.
a side.
whatever.
i’m not overreacting. i’m not in a diaper driving to serve vengeance, right? i’m pouring my fractured soul into the hands of a message board on the internet. i could be doing worse.
..ilovethem…:c. i think i just developed cancer..of the soul.
so thanks.
If it wasn’t for the FOB hiatus, we wouldn’t have the other guys teaming up with members of Anthrax and Every Time I Die to create The Damned Things.
there isn’t a brightside to this.
joe and andy aren’t widening their horizons…
they’re running me through with a damn spork.
because ripping my soft tissues with blunt objects is more painful.
i have a feeling this isn’t just a hiatus.
this is a disaster.
this is my fragile existence in their hands.
you can’t give a family of bulls porcelain.
guess whos who in that damn metaphor.
THERE ISN’T A BRIGHTSIDE.
there are alternatives.
that i’m beyond depressed with.
((i’m passionate.))
Look Rachel, nothing in the future will change the past. Fall Out Boy will always exist even if there is no music for a while.
And I’m sorry to be blunt but you didn’t even like Folie A Deux, yet you still claim to be an obsessed fan? So what’s the difference with not liking their solo stuff, then?
I love all of FOB’s material, and Patrick’s solo stuff but I rarely listen to Black Cards or The Damned Things because they’re not my type of music – but that doesn’t mean I suddenly have to abandon Fall Out Boy.
I know that right now you feel that it’s only your feelings that matter when it comes to their careers, but you’ve got to see that there’s more to your life than just Fall Out Boy. I understand why you’re feeling the way you do, but it’s not healthy.
i can’t abandon them. They dominate my ipod and i can’t write anything productive without their melodies swimming in through my earbuds.
I am overreacting a little, I’ll give you that.
But this news (which i was sure was a rumor, previously) was a little upsetting. a lot upsetting.
I feel like elvis died again.
I understand their growing and have to accomodate for any and all of those personal growths, but they knew they had diehards.
If a drug dealer creates a revolutionary new drug, dispenses it, gets people wholly addicted, and then suddenly wipes some of the ingredients..or stops making it all together, those addicted are obviously going to be a little baffled.
both emotionally and physically.
furthermore, folie a deux was terrible…but i still know and sing every song. thats loyalty. Not to mention constantly screaming at my friends who dont share my white hot passion for the boys.
I mean, She’s my winona is my ringtone.
Doesn’t mean it was up to par.
You can’t take the cherries out of the cherry pie and say
“it’s just a little different, try it”
Just saying.
(lol. if you quit replying i wont have to keep doing it. I’m one of those last word kids. Just roll with it, this’ll just get offensive and extensive.)
I’m not saying abandon them, I’m saying hold onto what they were but you don’t have to follow what they do if you don’t want to.
And this news has never been a rumour I’m afraid. It was confirmed very early this year from Patrick himself, so if it hasn’t bothered for you for this long it’s no different now.
As I’ve said before the old music is not going to be erased from your iPod all of a sudden. It will always remain, and they might still come back with new stuff but you need patience.
And as for you sticking with Folie A Deux despite the fact you hated it is not loyalty – it’s just blind ignorance. You don’t have to like every song to ‘qualify’ as a fan so you don’t have to constantly listen it to it. Who are you trying to impress?
(ps I reply as I go along your message so I didn’t see the end bit so you’re getting this message anyway. The trouble is I’m also one of those last word kids but I’ll drop off soon).
I don’t like every song, nor do i claim to.
Die-hard doesn’t leave room for debate, really. I love their lyrics indeffinitely..when they start hitting me with faux techno, i kindof shake my head and take the abuse.
I’m not trying to impress anyone, darling.
But that’s irrelevant to the message i was trying to convey, isn’t it? we’re sensible people, maybe we can reach an agreement here.
I’m entitled to feel like life just emptied my musical piggy bank and bought cheap liquor with the proceeds.
You’re entitled to deem me an exaggerating piece of fob loving idiot.
So it wasn’t a rumor. I’m a dreamer ok? i would have much rather it been a false whisper on the tongues of the media.
guess not.
finally, when i decide to switch off my “if i don’t see it it doesn’t exist” persona and take a gander, i find out its worse than i’d imagined.
They’re spiderlegging off into their own lives and leaving me on the thorax of unhappiness.
there. I’m defeated.you need not respond to my harrowing tales any longer, as i accept this (white knight style).
I FEEL BETTER IF THAT WAS THE GOAL SO THANKYOU.
sarcasm.
Rachel, darling, face it.
Patrick’s gone solo.
It’s not the end of the world.
He’s HAPPY.
The rest of the band is HAPPY.
And if they’re happy, you should be too.
Did you step back and think, “Hey, as long as they’re happy, it’s all good. They deserve to be happy.”
Because you should have.
You selfish brat.
This isn’t about you.
Nobody cares about you.
This is about what they want to do.
And if you were a true fan, you’d support them.
Not loath them because they’re trying something new.
Don’t hate them because they’re HAPPY.
Get over yourself.
And stop using big words to try and make yourself look smart.
That’s cute.
Was that some attempt at my feelings?
If so, you failed “darling”.
I’m sorry if my dialouge is a little tough for you to grasp; I completely understand your frustrations and won’t fault you for it.
I’m extraordinarily selfish, so I hope that wasn’t some hackneyed stab at what you figured would be my soft spot.
I, as the ‘teenie bopper’ have nothing better to do than work, go to school, and talk about the only band i like.
You, as the adult you’re insinuating you are, should probably be feeding your children…or reading a book since i’m evidently such a challenge to understand :). I’m sure you’ve seen them around.
Common objects that would completely balm the chapped education you obviously received.
I am smart :), I am a teenager, and I do love fall out boy.
Truth is, they sold out with their last album. If you listened to their lyrics, they basically say it themselves.
(But they’re pretty eloquent in speech, themselves; understanding them would probably be hard for you too :c.)
Anyway, Don’t be rude sweetheart. Especially considering how little you have to toss around.
(((look any unfamiliar words up.)))
lol. seacrest out :D.
facebook me. hahahahaha.
Rachel you are awesome.
