cry me a river, Pete Wentz
Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz recently discussed the leak of their new album, Infinity on High. The highly anticipated album follows the band's
multi-platinum major label debut, From Under The Cork Tree.
In the story, Wentz describes the leak as "devastating" and both the label and band are suggesting that it was a low-level pressing plant employee:
"Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant and watch everybody? Some guy working minimum wage, why
would he care how it affects us? It's a multi-pronged thing."
"This could be the worst leak in the history in music, f you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we're
probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet."
Rolling Stone deconstructed all of Wentz's statements in a tongue -in-cheek look at the five stages of "album leak grief."

If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

don't get me wrong, i understand the frustration of a hightly anticipated album being leaked. and i understand that for as much money as these guys
make, they surely have a huge advance to work off, but... all this bitchin' is too much. and blaming it on the working-class guy REALLY doesn't sit
well with me.

This guy and that band for the most part were part of the pretentious veganesque metallic metal-core (the deedle deedle deedle screamy crap) scene in
Chicago in the mid to late 90's. They started this band as far as I can tell to be clever and it ended up snowballing into what it is now.

Are they really that popular? I will never understand this.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Fuck him and his hair. Get a fucking real job and try to play music bitch, you wouldn't last a fucking day. This is not hardcore, this is not punk,
this is a cash-in.
Die Toten Hosen realeased their last album on the internet in its entirety for free, by the way.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I will assume some of this stuff is taken out of context but it shouldn't be a big surprise to Mr. Rockstar that his gay music leaked out. It happens
to EVERY album nowadays.
I'm sure they will make plenty of scratch by over-charging for tickets and t-shirts.

Ive heard that they created the band for the sole purpose of cashing in and they have no problem admitting it.

they will still sell a ton so he should shut the fuck up. everyone's albums leak these days. and if it doesn't leak early, it'll be up for free
online after the first day of release.

You should have been witness him and his friends in their vegan warrior phase on the old chicago messageboard.
In retrospect...at least it was interesting on that thing back then...

thtas funny dude, that means he just belittled your source of income in his self centerted statement. In a perfect world, he would be destroyed
professionally for saying such a thing. Too many morons buying music made by other morons

I would find "interesting" if the pressing plat folks decided tos cratch all of the cd's printed. Too bad the consumer would be the one who'd be on
the out.

You want to see how bad the band truly is check out a live video of the band. They are truly horrendous live. It just proves that the studio can work
wonders for bands. I don't mind them to be honest but I've always had a soft spot for pop/punk or whatever the hell you want to call it. They do suck
live though and that bass player is a complete douche bag. They'll still be raking in cash by the truckload when the album comes out.
