No Grammy for Wentz

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has hit back at the organisers of the 2008 Grammy Awards for completely over-looking his band by posting an angry rant in his online blog.

After playing People Magazine's Grammy Nominations Party Wentz wrote in a post entitled "Got bitterness? Vs. A revelation on true connection (and the award goes to)":

"The first reaction is jealousy mixed with a slight sense of entitlement. We just want to be a part of your club. Other than the fact that we play the events for you and the right parties all the time (which is a bit embarrassing either for you or us, not sure which, possibly both. its kind of like being invited to a birthday party and then not allowed to eat the cake.)- it shouldn't mean much.

"We want our songs to be immortal and a statue doesn't do anything to help them live forever," continued Wentz. "A fifty year old white man shouldn't decide whether we are relevant or not- and he doesn't. We wanted to thank you for making us feel relevant- for sitting up all night to get into our shows and for buying our music. It means more in the wake of moments like this. we know who we are based on those who would walk through hell with us."

FOB are so bad. I mean the fact that they were "Overlooked" is hardely suprising. Pete Wentz is disgusting.

Twat!!!!!!

Grammys just show that you can make good music and if you dont get one who cares you can still make good music. Anyway FOB are shit so they dont deserve one anyway.

That is because Fall Out Boy are a load of fucking shit! And no one will care about them in 10 years, shit - I'd be suprised if anyone gave a shit in 2 years!

Fall Out Boy are good....

Fall Out Boy are a damn good band. Awesome. However, Pete Wentz needs to stop acting like an idiot all the time which is dragging the rest of FOB (Patrick,Joe and Andy) down with him.

'Fall Out Boy are a damn good band.'

That's a sick joke, you have a twisted sense of humour!

Posted by bob | December 10, 2007 6:28 PM | Reply to this

get over it.

i think a lot of fallout boy's original fans, the ones who were there in the beginning -when the music was good, and actually meant something- those who 'would have walked through hell with them' arent even the ones who listen to their music and go to their shows now anyway, and when pete throws his little hissy fits, like this one, and so many more, about stupid, irrelevent issues (who cares if your getting a grammy? it wouldnt make me like the band's current music anymore than i do now!) he's just distancing himself and the rest of the band from what really matters, and from what the music is really supposed to be about.

He's just upset because fellow FBR band paramore have been nominated for something and they've not.
When will he learn that nobody likes them.
He'll be taking pictures of his bits soon to gain popularity.

Teddy's out of the cot...

So they didn't win a grammy... Whoopdi fucking doo. I didn't win one either but I'm not ranting about it. No other FOB members seam to care... whoever they are... He just needs to stop moaning, making music and go play traffic.

Posted by Craig | December 10, 2007 7:14 PM | Reply to this

the mistake I just made

I ment to say "play in traffic" not "play traffic"... Just so everyone knows.

Posted by Craig | December 10, 2007 7:16 PM | Reply to this

Listen lads

Look, i aint the biggest fan of FOB ever, i'm more of a machine head, Lamb of god and Bullet for my valentine type of guy.

But jeez pete, do us a favour and shut up! I'm not trying to take the piss out of you but ranting because of a grammy? I mean really, if it was political injustice or some shit like that then maybe we would care! If this is the way that FOB are going to go, then their appearence's in K! are just going to destroy the magazines rep because to be honest, they are pop. I tell you what though, just get the other band members to leave and form another band, you never know they might be really good!

Someone might save FOB

If they care that is

I love Fall out Boy but really.... Pete stop being a sore loser. If you don't care about a statue making your band immortal why waste your time ranting on about it?

Posted by Laura | December 10, 2007 9:50 PM | Reply to this

Oh NO

Yeah Pete, cause your band as it so hard. They're in every magazine, every music channel, on the radio, pretty much everyone knows the bands name. You really NEED a grammy dont ya -_-

Good for him.

They might not deserve to get a Grammy... it's just opinion, but why the fuck should they have to play :/

Rocks not about Awards

God Rock is never about awards. It's just about communicating to the people and the passion for music! I think alot of bands are so busy trying to write music to suite everyones tastes that they are forgetting why they went into Rock music in the first place!

Posted by Rico | December 10, 2007 10:46 PM | Reply to this

hmm...

well...i think he kinda has a right to be a bit pissed off, i mean they were nominated twice before, and totally overlooked the year they realease their defining album.
but sheesh...it wasn't a great album, much as i love the boys.

Posted by Chloe | December 11, 2007 1:06 AM | Reply to this

ew.

i dun think the purpose of making good music is to get any reward!!! there r hell loads of acts that have never got recognised. Do they need to cry like babies and bang their heads to the wall and drop dead?!

DUde, who cares? So you didn't get an award, and if they don't mean anything why are you whinging about it?

Oh yeah, heeheehee, FOB may be short for "Fall out Boy" But a FOB test is a medical test to check blood in stools! HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!

"They might not deserve to get a Grammy... it's just opinion, but why the fuck should they have to play :/"...

They don't HAVE to play. They chose to play. All exposure is good exposure for Mr Wentz, it seems. To be honest, he should be confined to the pages of US Weekly, rather than Kerrang. He gives 'Rock Stars' a bad name.

FOB are ridiculously average. And Pete Wentz is a power hungry moron.

shut up

ok some of us out there really do like fob and when people say there shit and r dick suckers it dose not piss me, but makes me laugh at how they are acting like kids and that if u don't like them we really don't need to no just shut your mouths. non of us give a fuck what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by lcb | December 13, 2007 3:10 PM | Reply to this

Fall Out Boy really isn't that bad. Actually at times their music has made me feel better, but this does not excuse the fact that lately Pete has been acting like a two-year-old. They are not irrelevant, but that does not mean that he can rant on about how someone who they are not trying to get into their music. If the guy thinks they are irrelevant that is his opinion, and all that matters is what their fans think.

They had no right to say dat about fob!!
i have loved them since i was 11 and they are still my fav band!!!!

Posted by Ginger-emo | December 15, 2007 10:40 PM | Reply to this

Fall Out Boy are my favourite band, but i have to admit Pete is being a
LITTLE BIT petty with this. But, then again, the fans can get ALOT petty about the littlest things, and then once Pete reacts, he gets shunned for being pathetic or whatever...
