Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust (March 24,2023) Band • Page 131

Eh probably will be the only time I listen to that song lol

 

This is incredibly fun and ridiculous in the same spirit as the original. Love it.

 

Fucking awesome

 

Very fun. Love the Taylor Swift reference as well.

 

i think a second night was a bit ambitious

 

Don’t give them ideas

 

cover is harmless fun but not great haha

 

From the Zane Lowe interview:

30 years later … I’ve been trying to do it. So we’re 34 years later, I think. And so I’ve been trying to get somebody to do it for … four years. And finally Patrick [Stump] was like, “We should just do it.” And listen, this song was just a … I remember listening to the original when I was little and I was like, “I don’t know what half this stuff is.” And it made me look up a bunch of this stuff. So, it was just interesting thinking about the stuff we would include versus you wouldn’t. Because there’s some stuff that was in the original that kind of is lost to the sands of time. You know what I mean? So yeah, we just did it. We put it together. It’s just a fun, goofy thing, you know what I mean?

Listen, we did our best. It’s very, very, very difficult. His is not totally in chronological order, but it’s more in chronological order than ours. We just wanted the JFK blown away line, and clearly, I think that the World Trade one was a little more… that was probably… People probably felt a similar way. You remember where you were or whatever. So it’s just a little bit out of order, but it is what it is. Listen, we wanted the Internet to still have something to complain about.

I think that the beauty of the way that music and art works now is that you put something out there. If it misses, it kind of just doesn’t go anywhere. And if people like it, then it becomes a thing. But you can put a lot more things kind of out into the ether and it just becomes white noise, if people don’t like it. You know what I mean? People don’t go, “The Fall Out Boy cover of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ ruined their career. They were good until then.” It just doesn’t exist in that way anymore, really.

 

I'm so old, I even remember the original songs music video.

 

hardest i've laughed in a while fwiw

 

I almost spat out my coffee at the Shinzo Abe line

 

People are not happy about this at all lmao

 

Yea, my twitter feed is mad.

 

this backlash might be worse than when they covered “start today” and that was baaaad

 

I listened once and thought “huh, sounds bout like I expected” and doubt I’ll give it much more thought … does seem like perfect internet rage fodder though.

 

Same. It’s an “updated” cover. Whatever.

 

Rhyming George Floyd with Metroid was a choice that probably should of never been recorded

 

Ok I think I need to actually sit through this now wtf

 

It's a fun update to a classic song that sounds good. I have no issue with it.

 

Heh

 

Just got out of the Dallas show, I don't think I could have asked for a better set. Got pretty much all my favorites and was very happy that TTTYG, FUTCT and FAD got so much time

 

Meh. I liked it. Never thought I'd hear Patrick sing Pokemon, so we now have that.

 

In more important news, they played The After Life of the Party last night. I’d cry if they played that in West Palm.
