In news that will surprise the people who knew this band was still together, Pete Wentz announced on his blog yesterday that he was no longer a member of Fall Out Boy.

"(I) cant predict that id ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart … 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. "

He’s downplaying it but it won’t be easy for the band to replace him. They’ll have to go down to the guitar store and wait until it opens. Then when someone buys a bass, they’ll have to ask if he wants to be in a band.

I learned that lesson the hard way.  If you ask someone to play bass in your band, make sure they have a bass.  It seems so obvious now!

Bass is the default instrument for people who don't play an instrument it seems.  I have yet to hear these fallout boys.  Generic Metalcore?  What do these blokes sound like?

music is over.  that's it.

It might be hard to master, but its really easy to be a mediocre bass player. Ive been in more than one band where weve taught people to play enough bass to get by on stage.

I suppose.  I think that's why it's the default instrument.  Anyone can do 8th notes over a basic chord progression.

I hate you guys. But its tragically true.

Isnt that bands fanbase entirely made up of girls in love with that bass player?

Or at least thats the vibe I get when I see them on TV or something...

I hope this band never plays another note again but im thinking that when the bass player stops getting A-list laid, he'll reform the band lol
