Fall Out Boy have recorded an infomercial in aid of dosomething.org, a website encouraging kids to get involved with like, preventing global warming and like, human rights and all that boring stuff you like, see on the news.
The 30 second clip has been posed on YouTube, along with some amusing outtakes.
"Rising sea levels would suck," says lead singer Patrick Stump.
We agreed dude. Like, totally.
Tune in next week when Panic At The Disco will be bringing peace to the Middle East and Angels And Airwaves solve world hunger....
Its really nice to see they're trying to help the world. I mean, they understand that we're more likely to listen to them than some "expert" on the news lool I think its really clever of them and more people should do this. P.S I love pete!!

Fall out boy
surely not wasting all of the resources it took to make this video would do more for the environment.
Still, nice to see they care

Fucking branwashed idiots
we all know the global warming theory is a load of shit. They only keep repeating the fucking thing on the news because they want us to get it into our heads and believe it is true so it can give them a reason to fuck about with oil. Scientists have prooved its a load of shit, but they never get media attention because the media are all part of the big picture. Scientists who support the theory get loads of funding and scientists who don't loose their funding and dissapear, coincidence? I think not.

indeed. im sure they make it up about cows and thier huge amounts of methane. surely they cant cause more greenhouse gases than cars and transport. people just dont like cows. its just mean. if they let cows live outside on grass tand not inside just eating high energy food constantly then maybe they wouldn be 'destroying the planet'
i love cows :)

wow
it's a bit like 30 seconds to mars with their website www.abeautifullie.org
which i believe is much better anywayz.
Okay,
im gonna rant here and i dont wanna sound like a bitch but it has to be said.
Fall Out Boy is a band people either Love or Hate.They think there everything and they think there 'IT'
especially Pete Wentz. All he is, is a Photo-genic, Time-Consuming, Over-Dressed-,attention-craving emo wannabe.
This new global warming idea is just a way for people to think 'woah pete wentz and fall out boy are great-they really care about the planet'. What a load of bull.
Global warming insnt happening, but like GRAHAM said its in the media. and when theres the Media pete wentz is always gonna be a few steps behind sucking it in and hoping to get his face on another magazine.
By pete wentz i mean the rest of FOB too but hes the main culpirt.
*rant over*

FOB to save the world?
Does ANYONE ELSE find it ironic that Fall Out Boy have set up this website, which you use shitloads of electricity to go on with the computer? Wow, nice going, boys, Americans and irony have never gone better hand-in-hand.
Well, the video was cringey but the outtakes were good so... yeah. Fall Out Boy do care a lot about this kinda shit, actually, but whatever. At the end of the day we're seeing a bunch of people totally out of their element. Fact remains that they write some of the best lyrics in pop, so...
to be quite fair, biggest, puclicity stunt, EVER
In the first place, Fallout boy are the suckiest band ever, they dont deserve the recognition they get, and now they are trying to use charity to earn more popularity.
Quite frankly, they are disgusting.
And by the way FoB groupies, Pete Wentz is not the 'best bassist ever' try out some other bassists like Billy Sheehan, then you will know what real Bass Guitar is.
-End Rant-

I. Fricking hell. Fall Out Boy seem to have hit the stage in their career where they've realised that their music alone isn't good enough for people - and I'm not just talking the Fueled By Ramen obsessees, I'm talking new fans here. They've got their 'political' new album, and now they're taking the time to record this video - which is, to be honest, one of their biggest publicity stunts yet.

Haha!
Fall Out Boy are a joke. This is the most pathetic thing i've ever heard. It's been all over the news and nothing has been done, and they shoot a little video and think it'll change everyone's mind.
In my opinion, they have nothing better to do but follow everyone else in writing about politics and that.
They've not created, or done anything that hasn't been done before.
pete will do anythink for media attention hes such a dick ! fob are a ok band i dnt mind the other 3 jst that pete ahh i will put u in hell media boy!!!

I would say that hopefully this would work out better than their attempts to get involved in the Ugandan peace process.
But I happen to think global warming is a good thing.
Fuck the eco-Nazis.

LOL
nice one tom ;]
the patronising was much over due.
i personally believe they should do a guns n roses. all the members leave except one (pete wentz) and create another band. one that will never truly be as good but does well.
cos without that one person. it makes everything nicer.
and then pete goes joins ava. to make them even more suckier. =D
etc. and to stick to the topic. GLOBAL WARMING IS TOTAL BOLLOCKS!!!!! its a cycle people!

Fall Out Boy+awesome!
Okay personally I think what Fall Out Boy are doing is great. I watched it mainly because of Fall Out Boy and guess what I actually took in what they said which I would never do if it was some random scientist on the news. They're getting a message across which is the main thing. For all the people who are saying this is a publicity stunt is talking total crap. If they know anything about Fall Out Boy is that not only along with this they work very closely with a charity called Invisible Children which helps children who Uganda who have been affected by war. I think most people let their opinions of Pete control their opinion of the whole band which is quite sad as all the guys in Fall Out Boy are great and they're an awesome band. You all say you don't like Pete yet you'll take your time to go watch videos or read news concerning him and leave comments? Theres no need to go say bad stuff about a band which lots of people, me included, really love and appreciate Fall Out Boy in their lives.
I say well done Fall Out Boy, you're doing a great job, you're an awesome band and you're all great guys.

To be fair, Fall Out Boy are pretty big. Even if you don't like them, you gotta admit that. And so, if this "big" band can broadcast more information about charities, surely that's not a bad thing?

Notice how they dont do anything like this until they announce a new album
It's all about promotion for themselves
Ok, being a fall out boy fan it pains me to watch that.
they don't have a clue about anything to do with the subject there talking about.
they just made themselves look like r-tards.
and there not exactly making a stand themselves are they.
e-friendly tour buses? (korn)
planting trees to erase carbon footprints that manufacturing the cds creates? (foo fighters)
your all jealous tbh, of fob and pete wentz.
1:you cant be a fan if you insulting em
2: i guess everyones waiting to see you do better than pete wentz on bass.... yeah thought not.
Ooh and Atleast you can ehar what they sing....
You twats!
1. I'm a fan, yet I want Pete Wentz to die
2. I know loads of better bassists. Flea for instance. And Tim Commerford. I know I can't play bass, who gives a shit
3. Wait. What?

You GEEKS!
are you retarded?
1. who would want to be a fan?
2. he is pretty shit at bass, i know a lot of people who can play it better than him, my bands bassist is better than him. I am probably better than both guitarists, im only 17, thats how bad they are,

whats that fall out boy needed some scheming way to get everyone to lick their arses a bit more? or maybe the crossdesser pete wentz wants a bit cock just to make him more of a lass maybe?
if they want to save the world then why dont they fuck back off to the little shit hole they came from and stop making peoples ears bleed, its so fucking painful having to hear them on kerrang tv every 15 mins, unless theyre doing an hour of paramore, which is just as bad
Posted by conna | September 6, 2008 5:12 PM | Reply to this
I dislike FOB,however I don't mind Pramore and believe there are much worse and much poppier bands that Kerrang endorse-Simple Plan,Panic,Good Charlotte for example.

its a bit fucking scary, and not really image i wished to be burned!

Because FOB Blatentently Know What They Are Talking About.
The Seem As If The Only Reason They Are Doing This Is For The Money As They Have No Clue About Global Warming What So Ever.

what if pete wentz and tom delonge ha d a love child?
Wow. Pete Wentz is such a ARSEHOLE.
I really hope no one genuinely laughed during his wee 'comic' scenes in the out takes...

Pete Wentz
Why are all of you hating on Pete? He hasnt actually done anything wrong..
All because he's in a successful band doesn't mean he's a nob.
Has he actually done anything wrong to any of you? I doubt it.
