- After well over a decade of making music, Fall Out Boy are one of the best known bands around. However, had things gone different, we may have known them by an entirely different name.

Yeah... this isnt content. Get out my recs.
Lol.
@@FactFiend yeah you seem like the kinda person that'd act like this.
@@metalmessy135 well, it's not like they get to chooses id they get recomended to you.
You do metal covers… chill.
@@AvengedHate26 did. Been a decade or so.
Once got called “My Cholesterol Romance” by my students when I was slightly overweight while wearing all black except a red tie (miscalculated outfit combos). Easily the funniest jab ever thrown my way
Goddamn lol. That's the kind of burn you can't even get mad at.
Oh my god. I went through a phase where I was wearing white dress shirts under band tees trying to go for a Frank Iero look. Black and red I blended eyeshadow and sometimes I’d throw on red ties over my band tees and my mother actually let me leave the house like that. 😂
I’ve asked her about it since and she says “everyone goes through teenage embarrassment, I had to learn for myself”. To be fair, I probably wouldn’t have listened to her criticize my fashion statement anyways.
One of my cooler outfits that I’d still wear was black skinny jeans, my knee high converse and I had one of those Black Parade knockoff jackets from Hot Topic. It looked cool, at least I thought it did, until people were unironically asking if I was in marching band 😂😂
damn i preferred this channel before they sold out.... can't believe karl isn't completely transparent in front of the greenscreen anymore
This is a video from 2018 that they’ve reuploaded because it got demonetized
Notice the tattooless arm lol
Maybe this is a archive vid

THE LORE IN THIS COMMENT THREAD IS DEEP
I want Karl to do a video in his full emo gear.
YES
WE want Karl to do a video in his full emo gear.
Would be great if he did it talking about evanesence, electic callboy, etc.
same 💯💯
I think about the show Arrow where Oliver Queen asks if Fallout boy is still touring as a joke about them being on a "break". However by the time the episode aired they were together again.
That same line, he asks his sister if Fall Out Boy were still cool and she says 'they never were'
Also, the club in the show ends up booking Steve Aoki instead, who the band collaborated with on a song a few years later.
I really appreciate the little info bar on the re-uploads letting us know what the original went down over, because it does make me curious.
2:49 ahh yes the secret MCR album that came out between Three cheers and The Black Parade ??? and I totally remember when they fired half the band ???
yeah that one confused me as well. Only took 2 years for Black Parade to be released after and it's been the exact same lineup during those 2 albums
i’m 90% sure he just misremembered when Danger Days happened, given that was a completely different sound and also when Bob Bryer left
Gotta say, their recent cover of We Didn't Start the Fire reworked to be about 1989-2023 is the most 'Fall Out Boy' that they have felt in a decade.
absolutely didn't expect you talking about him, one of my favorite bands ever
Fall out boy was never as edgy, people say they sold out but they still have the same vibes for me
They weren’t edgy really, but they had more of a scrappy and fun pop punk style in the pre-hiatus stuff rather than the Imagine Dragons type melodramatic grand area rock style. Like the problem isn’t that their music lost edge, it feels like it moreso lost personality
Before their first album dropped, I was in a pop punk band in high school called Fallout Boys for a couple years. In 2003 their manager or whoever it was at the time reached out to us saying we had to change our name as they started to blow up from the TTTYG release. Supposedly there's an interview where Pete brings it up but no idea if that's true as I haven't found it. Thought this was the appropriate vid to tell that story though 😂
It's 2023 and funeral for a friend has been referenced.
Is the world ok?
This is a old video from 2017 sorry mate
MCR The Black Parade is a damn masterpiece. Listen to it all the time, the entire album tells such a good story
I’ve been watching this channel for years, I can’t imagine a sell out version. How not to do business was the greatest thing ever
I'v listened to FOB across their eras and I don't feel they've changed a lot. The guitar, the bass and the singer are still the same. Sure they got less edgy over time but Emo began to go out of fashion in the mid-2000s. Also, FOB were always the most mainstream of all emo bands, they were more like indie-pop rock. People that say they "sold out" never really realized they were pretty much palatable from the very beginning.
Really? They are doing weird dubstep breakdowns in the middle of songs, they had electronic elements in some songs, but now the guitar is more like an added thing instead of the driving force of the songs. If you like it that's great, but they have changed A LOT I think.
@geronimogarciazeballos9521 that was really only one album or so, if you're willing to give their new album So Much (For) Stardust a shot it's not a complete return to form but even they describe it as a spiritual successor to Folie and Infinity On High
I completely agree minus Mania which was experimental from conception (the whole reason it was purple is because Pete saw a Tumblr that noticed fob albums go 🟦🟥🟦🟥🟦🟥🟦)
The biggest general difference in sound is really Patrick LEARNT HOW TO SING. Like he's said that he studied opera singers and how they warm up, take vocal breaks etc.
@@TJbutLagfolie was the most fob fob have every been. I’ll check it out, thanks.
They've changed a ton...
Okay. My Chemical Romance is a very emo name, but have you heard of Bullet For my Valentine? I think they have them beat on that one.
Nah brother I Wrestled A Bear Once, Escape the Fate, Suicide Silence, Pierce the Veil, A Day To Remember.. lol they all sound like something an emo kid would literally say
Each time they show a music video clip, it’s shows as being released in 2009. When “the Black Parade” came out in 2006, HIM’s “Join Me” was released in the US in 2003, did anyone do any research?
Thanks Karl, improv is in huge need of revival! And thanks for all the help from the team!
My biggest take away in this fall out boy video was how little you know about my chemical romance 😂
I want the entire team dressed like fallout boy
I missed out on my emo phase because my older brother was emo, so I decided to be a punk grunge girl to rebel against everyone who was emo lol
I remember hearing the name Fall out Boy and the first thing i thought was "from the simpsons?" Can't believe it was a fact.
I really love your patreon shoutouts!
AFI stands for A Fire Inside. I think that well rivals My Chemical Romance as the most emo band name lol.
My favorite band ever! They have the most emo song names 😂 miss murder, silver and cold, girls not grey, but home is nowhere! Lol I got a lip ring because of Davey T.T omg snakebites
Man I miss the times when Karl would open a bottle every video with whatever he had laying around in the room
Not gonna lie, that outro patreon scroll had me in fits of laughter
I refuse to let emo die. I keep going out to emo nights and wearing clothes from Killstar 😂
I did not expect emo Karl to actually be cute lol. Then again, emo was unironically a nice style.
Y’all need to look up Galvarino. Not only will you get a kick out of his story, he was a complete badass.
Emo's not dead.
I would also very much like to subscribe to the emo box you proposed.
Karl needs to do a starfox video in a green morph suit with the head and hands cut off so he's floating there like andross
This
I never was a BIG fan of the Fall Out Boys but their songs were hella nice lol.
As I Lay Dying is the MOST Emo band name
They aren't emo tho, they're Christian Metalcore/Music to Hire Hitmen to Kill the Singer's Wife
Seeing them live in November, the new album bangs. Saw MCR live last year, shaped my early teen years in good and incredibly cringe ways.
I know fallout boy out of Milhouse
News outros are good lmao. Love you guys.
A love ends suicide. That is the name of a band. It hurt writing it down since its so emo
That's worse than My Chemical Romance, but it gets disqualified for not even sounding like a bandname. MCR still reigns supreme!
I remember watching these videos like 4 years ago on my way to school and they are still the same, it’s nice
“In an ancient tongue with no consonants”…. So welsh, I guess
Cryptid Fairy Karl cant hurt you he isnt real
Cryptid Fairy Karl:
You guys have been really hitting a new stride lately
Loot Crate. Fucking hell, that's a blast from the past. I remember watching unboxing at the beginning of videos and there'd always be like one thing in those I'd actually want. Rest was a load of shit I'd throw in a drawer and throw away in my next move. No idea why people loved that shit.
I fall out boy sounds the same from evening out with your girlfriend to now, just better production value. They never sold out they bought in.
The Tim McElroy link isn't such a big surprise if you know that he used to play in a band called Arma Angelus, which featured Pete Wentz on vocals (as well as Joe Trohman on guitar, and at one point either Patrick Stump or Andy Hurley on drums)!
I'm so here for the chaotic energy of the outro's lol
Never sell out, yall are great as yall are
I thought Karl had a sleeve tattoo. Am I crazy?
WTH TH-cam is Shyte I'm like what happened to this channel I haven't seen videos in almost two years and I'm subscribed and have Notifications on 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
13:23 I only noticed because he’s talking about tattoos but did Karl get his entire tattoo sleeve removed??
Timestamp: 8:14
"Annd it's bassically bef- when I was so thin that I wore my sister…'s… uh… Halloween costume to a party."
Was there just the one take?
Come to think of it, do they usually do multiple takes?
Yeah, Funeral for a Friend were more emo in the UK than My Chemical Romance. Source: I was 17 and me and all my college pals hated my chemical romance and love funeral for a friend. Now I'm 37 and I'll die on this hill.
Where are you getting your MCR info from, The Black Parade was an ever bigger success than three 3 cheers was. And Gerard never fired half the band at all, from three cheers through until right now there's only really been one change in the line-up & that was on drums.
I love the "Breaking News" bit. "Breaking Fiends!"
5:19 you missed a “fucking” 😂😂
Well fuck xD I went through like 10 times too...
-Brad
I’m still looking for a studded belt.
Fall Out Boy was more "That band who did a collab with Mondo Media who did a Happy Tree Friends music video that had versions of the band in the video die"
Nisha you’re a great part of the team and I kinda prefer your banter with Karl as opposed to others 🙊
Bro heard me when I said H.I.M. for the most emo band name.
Releases video where all the swears are beeped out, man I miss the channel before they sold out
This video aged in an amusing way
Man, I preferred this channel before they were concerned about swears and "ad suitability."
Nisha, i love the weird outro things. Lol
gold as always
What do you mean Gerard got rid of half the band? To my knowledge Brian was the only member to be replaced
Yeah and my chem was never "the most emo" either, maybe their revenge era look was, but I get quite annoyed when people lump them in with that label when it doesn't describe the complexity of their music and purpose, and the members have rejected it so many times anyway
They got the name after a show they did and at the time they didn't have a name so they asked the crowd
This must be an old video. Karl is missing his tattoos.
funny they aren't known outside of emo, that was the fad of the 2000s and it should remain in the 2000s
Dashboard Confessional is a pretty extremely emo name... maybe even tied with My Chemical Romance
my old band was called We Are Liberating the Beaches Trapped Beneath Our City Streets, and we still felt like Chris Carraba beat us twice with Dashboard Confessional and Further Seems Forever
Oh, someone not getting a birthday present this year XD
Honestly just thought this was another fall out boy song with the title
How old is this video karl doesn't have his arm tat ?
I was an Emo (i suppose?) Skater kid that also really dug Mudvayne, ADTR, Lordi etc
but my name was Blade,
THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE that thought it was an edgy nickname I gave myself used to drive me insane
To be fair i thought that too first read
How do I get my name on credits
I only know Him from "wings of a butterfly"
It is interesting to think about, they did end up playing the end credits of a simpsons episode
I fucking KNEW he was emo, we never loose it, its like a scar.
(not trying to be rude i am goth now, im in it deeper then him)
This is a request for Karl's mom. What's your most embarrassing Karl emo story?
Ah past Karl doesn’t have the burden of knowing about raid shadow legends, and he’s clearly unburdened because of it
The name is the best thing about them!
Emo is already back in style
More reminiscing please
i once got a prince albert to be different
Bring back the 6 year olds fairy dress for a fact fiend :P
4:27 Karl: no embarrassing pics of teen me
8:33 ...
Shit you DO look like the guy from funeral for a friend
I remember a few years there where you could really piss off OG Goths by calling the Emo.
I feel bad for Karl now that my chemical romance was his first cd buy
Mine was offspring 2nd album
Now emo Karl is a fucking style, but what if scene Karl, that’s what I wanna see
The only thing I think of when I hear fall out boy is Fallout cartoon guy.
I remember your Fringe show, Pleasance comedy..... Hey Yaa.......
What is he on about?
Before I listened to the band. I assumed pete was the lead singer
They should have gone county. Like a reverse Chris Gaines.
Sunny Day Real Estate is the most emo band name.
You missed one f-word at 5:19 😂
Yeah... Why doesn't this channel have more subs??
All the emos grew up and started listening to deathcore
@@habhdyst722 I’m not wrong tho
Wait…..it’s not rage against the machine ¿
I liked the history of your relationship it was funny.
An oldy but a good video
