    the soul of the FOB

3.Joe Trohman

The band started from Pete and his best friend Joe in 2001. And then they found their vocalist in a bookstore. It was said that the name of the band came form a fan shouting under the stage," fall out boy!" 

And the next year, they release their first album <Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend>. After that, Andy Hurley, the drummer, finally joined the band. However not until they published their album <Take This To Your Grave> did they widely-known and highly-praised. Then they had <My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue>

Soon after, the band met a huge setback and almost broke up. The soul of the band, Pete Wentz, attempted to kill himself by pill. He claimed that he generated the same illusion like many artists had had. Based on the experience, he wrote a song <7 minutes in heaven>, which was selected in the album < From Under the Cork Tree>. The album did become a hit. And the most popular in the album < Sugar We're Going Down>

As we all can imagine the next two album also sold well.

In 2007, FOB released the album < Infinity On High>. I just list the hit.

<This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race>

In 2008, < Folie à Deux> was released.
<I Don't Care>

And then the band had a "hiatus" time. At this time. Stump reached the heaviest weight and had troubles on health. Wentz divorced with his wife owing to medicine abusing. Hurely went into the heavy depression. So Stump started his health program and go for his own music career, which he called "Soul Punk". Wentz returned to his therapy and learned to be mature. Hurley traveled band to band, digging further in Rock music. Each of them opened their new solo careers. Much to everyone's suprise, as the member Hurley said,"Especially Joe and Patrick, who were so young. And Pete is a million times better.Finally, in 2013, the members got together and finished the album <Save Rock And Roll>.(Also my favorite^^, strongly recommend) In the album, every song had its own MV. Moreover, these MVs could watch as series, like a movie. Although they had left a while, their fans didn't forget them. The album still as popular as before and even better. 
If you want to watch the series, here comes the link.

Actually, the reason why I got to know the band was from a TV show " The Voice". There, Stump performed a show with one of my appreciate singer, Michelle Chamuel. I watched the video again and again. Besides, I believe its the best perform of < My Song Knows What You Did In The Dark>. 

At last (OMG finally comes to the end), I would like to share their new single <Centuries>
