as someone who experienced the fall out boy hiatus in real time i can't explain how magical it feels to witness everything about tourdust. not that they ever had bad blood between them even during the hiatus but there's something so special about seeing your four favorite artists make a conscious decision to go back to making art together, and not only survive the hiatus but thrive. to not just try to recapture the magic of before but to build something even better. to become better friends, the closest knit family, after being there for one another through unimaginable ups and downs. to clock how much every single special touch on this tour means to the fans and not say "ok, that's probably enough for now" but to raise the stakes and make the show better every single day. anyways fall out boy forever
To you (unfinished, off the top of my head) / (Coffee’s for Closers) / The Phonebook / disloyalorderofpete: October 7, 2007 / Patrick on “The ‘I’ In Lie” / (Coffee’s for Closers) / Believers Never Die Vol 1 + 2 covers / Patrick in a magazine interview / Cambridge English Dictionary’s definition of “true blue” / To you (unfinished, off the top of my head)
something about patrick saying right before smfs dropped that he prefers to open a show because he can play fast and leave early and there are no expectations vs the final night of 2ourdust (an unplanned second leg of their wildly successful first tour) being the longest concert fall out boy has ever played in their entire run as a band featuring six surprise songs and at least one track from every album they've ever released. oh ok
*opens window at three in the morning* IIIIIIIIIII WILL NEVAR END UP LIKE HIMMMMMMMMM *neighbour yells at me and I close the window as I slide dramatically onto the floor* behind my back I already am :<
can i just say, as someone new ish to the fandom who still doesn’t know a lot of the lore / hasn’t heard all the demos etc, i don’t think i’ve ever heard the full recorded version of spotlight and yet every time patrick sings it for the medley there’s tears in my eyes from how beautiful the lyrics are and how powerfully he conveys them and how much you can tell that it’s taken him this long to play this song with his full fucking heart. first time he did it for the medley he was so quiet and only a few ppl sang along with him and he was so surprised to see everyone with their phones up but now he sings with his whole being knowing that it means something to all of us and that we’re all so proud of how much they’ve healed and how we’re all healing together and that means everything to me.
i’m not the same person after hearing kintsugi kid live!!!!! i will never shut up about it!!!!! they played my favorite song from the new album live!!!!!! here’s the video i took sorry im literally screaming
Meat do u have the article or just the quote that’s like “for all his talk of wanting to go into the abyss Pete returned to us with two children” bc I love pain and crying
