oritsu_luvI don't even know.
I just wish things like this were clearer. I feel like the endings are always so...undefined.
I just wish someone would come out and say, YES WE BROKE UP.
Because so far, no one has.
Even Pete's blog post to 'clear things up' didn't do that.
to make it perfectly clear.
i dont know the future of fall out boy. its embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. as far as i know fall out boy is on break. (no one wants to say the “h” word). as much as i dont have a solo project, i also cant predict that id ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart. in this statement id like to include there is the possibility that fob will play again with out me or i will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. it is no ones fault and there is no animosity about the decision. i felt as fans you deserve to know. there is no singular reason for this. the side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. i am the single biggest fan of fob and if this is our legacy than so be it. i am proud of it.
All we've got is his passive aggressive tweets:
Q: when does hiatus end for fob?once and for all. :(
Pete: man. dont you get it? a hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. i dont plan on either.
Q: do you even care about the fans anymore?
Pete: more than ever. feel like i have to be honest but be fair to my bros in the band at the same time-it is no1s fault ppl grow apart about 15 hours ago from web in reply to katieiero
Q: can you redefine this whole decompression thing? cause your blog is making it really ambiguous in a bad way:(
Pete: cant imagine playing in fob again. something would have to change in my head or my heart- not my wallet. itd have to be real
Q: when did you stop believing?
Pete: when they gave up. the "they" is impossible to explain. & i never will try.
thanks. not gonna speak to anything publicly about the band internally. my brothers 2 the grave. thnx 4 being there from day 1 about 15 hours ago from web in reply to jason_tate
For once, Andy gave a more helpful, logical response:
FROM THE FC BOARDS:
naotalba I guess the only real question I have is whether you'll still be here for the fans no matter what happens to fob, and you're answering that just by being on right now, so thank you.
xprofessionalx i def will be. i really wish i could tell everyone if we were done or not. but i just dont know. its not looking great right now, but when we went into the break it was for sure that we'd come back in 2 or 3 years. i still think we will come back, but i just dont know. theres no official decision one way or another. pete loves fob. i love fob. patrick loves fob. and joe loves fob. its just that we're in different places right this very instant. which is why we took the break. i honestly think all the pressure of people asking stuff like they are on twitter every five seconds is more damning to the band than anything. the whole point of the break was to just get away, and not think about it, and in 2 years or so, come back and decide where to go from there. i believe in us, and i believe we will get in a room, hash out the bullshit like in some kind of monster (haha) and we will be super stoked to do another record. i know all of us are already, but just not at this exact moment.
the reason ive given of touring and recording straight for 7-8 years is absolutely true as well. it was just burning us all out. and everyone else. we did too much so fast. going away and coming back fresh could only be a good thing.
but i just dont know right now. i think we will be ok in time. maybe not. like i said though, i cant tell the future. because heres the thing, i want a definitive answer as bad as everyone else. i think thats whats causing all of this in the first place
noh8tr I don't know if I'm doing this right or not, but I have wondered for a bit now...are all of you (from FOB) still friends or is there animosity? I'd hate for that to be the case. My best wishes to all of you in all you do.
xprofessionalx i can only truly answer for myself. i get along with everyone in fob. they are my family. i love them. i talk to them all regularly. we are all still friends, but there are tensions. but that is the way these things always are, especially after years and years. i know they all still feel that we are a family as well. i truly believe we will get through this. if we dont, then so be it. such is life.
Jinks (By the way, I wanted to add my thanks for your transparency on what's happening with the whole Pete/FOB thing. I mean, I'd be sad if you guys never played as FOB again, but I know I'll be a fan of all of you no matter what you're doing. Just wanted you to know that.)
xprofessionalx thank you. i totally understand everyone's desire to know. and as soon as there is something solid to know, i promise i will do my best to let everyone know. but there is no solid decision or future path right now. its all up in the air. i love fob though. the memories ive gotten from being a part of it are just as life affirming and amazing as all the memories every fan has shared with me. believe me, i want it back as well.
cupcakeloserrainbow I kind of see it as, isn't it better make sure you all can leave on good terms and still be a family, then put out one more record or do one tour to much....but thats just my thoughts on.
xprofessionalx exactly. it was at a point where it would end and we'd all hate each other. big reason we went into this break. time truly will heal all wounds though
noh8tr Is it crazy of me to worry about Pete? I'm sure he can handle way more than the average bear..but , well, I hope you are all okay. *hugs*
xprofessionalx he's all good. he's a man. hes got a family. and a baby. he's super happy about all of that. im sure kids attacking him isnt the greatest thing ever...but i also know that he understands why kids are acting like this. because they care about a band they love and want to know and understand. we've all been there.
also, to prove i am still friends with everyone...
i just hung out with patrick for a full day in la. im in another band with joe, and am working on that now with him in nyc. and im hanging out with pete tomorrow night. because these are still my best friends. they are still my family
So yeah.
I guess the only thing we know is that they won't be making music as fall out boy for a long time, probably ever, and that sucks.
Blah.
