Mission Failed

Filed under: Music Minute > Pete Wentz

As of this past Wednesday, Fall Out Boy was on track to set the world record for shortest amount of time to play all of the world’s seven continents. The band and their crew made it all the way to Chile and were patiently waiting in their hotel rooms for the greenlight from organizers to proceed to the last continent on their list…Antarctica.

All FOB needed to do to get into the Guinness Book of World Records was play a gig on the continent at the end of the earth by this Thursday.

Unfortunately, the weather in unpredictable Antarctica wouldn't cooperate on Thursday. Conditions there weren't clear enough to allow for the safe arrival of the band and crew.

The band and their management made the tough decision to abort the mission.

FOB's Pete Wentz was utterly shattered by the decision to abort.

He says:

"It's an utter fucking disappointment. … It's so insane. We had this idea, and then to not be able to fulfill it is just disappointing, especially when you put it out there… It's the worst feeling I've felt in Fall Out Boy, [we were,] like, two hours away from being able to do it. … I read someone compared it to Geraldo opening Capone's vault, but it's worse than that, because, like, Capone's stuff is in there, you just can't get the light on. There's no spin for it; we got two hours away from Antarctica and we can't go."

There must be another way to get into the record books!

What should Pete and the boys do???????

      "There must be another way to get into the record books! "

      Yeah…here's a thought…START IN FREAKING ANTARCTICA. If the weather's so unpredictable there, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that they should start there instead of end there. Morons.

      They should see how gay they can be to get into the Guinsess book of world records. That's the only way FOB will ever go down in the history books. maybe the guy who can go through the most eyeliner in an hour.

      yes because if all the members of fob died on their way to antartica because of bad weather, that would be terrible.

      33

      oh and to the moron that said they should've started in antartica, it wouldn't have made a difference. if they can't get in because of bad weather it'd be the same if they were there first and couldn't leave. dip shit.

      46

      i feel bad for them because it meant so much to them, although i don't really see how playing a show in antartica, where no one lives, is such a big deal…but whatever floats your boat. too bad for them though.

    47. bambambam0 says – reply to this


      47

      Re: katie – you are the moron. if you start in antarctica and then go to the other places, you can start whenever the whether there is good.

    48. Douchebag Wentz Needs to Shut the Fuck Up! says – reply to this


      48

      Hmmm…maybe they should stop whining about how they can't set a useless "world record" that serves no purpose whatsoever! Or they could try setting a record for Most Money From Concerts on All Continents Donated to People Who Really Fucking Need It? That would be a good one.

      Stop crying, you little bitch. Do you assholes always have to be the center of the universe? Who gives a flying fuck whether or not you play on all the goddamn continents in the shortest time span? People are literally dying on every one of those continents (ok, maybe not Antarctica) and all you can think about is setting a fucking world record? DOUCHEBAG!

    49. gina says – reply to this


      49

      Fall off the face of this earth without announcing it and wait to see if anyone cares. Oh and please take that annoying thing you call your girlfriend, putting up with her should get you nominated in the Guinness Book of World Records for having thismuch patience.

    50. Sorry says – reply to this


      50

      It sucks that they set a goal and could not follow through with it, but MOTHER NATURE is something you don't fuck with, and why would they bitch and put their lives at risk for some record? Maybe they should just try again down the road…..

    51. poop says – reply to this


      51

      i think they could make it in for quitting being a shitty band that only 13 year old girls like and attempt to make good music that has a melody and a some meaning behind it.

    52. Ashley says – reply to this


      52

      who fucking cares, falloutboy is the shittiest band out,they dont deserve a wolrd record. fuck pete wentz/\

      they fail at life (: poooor steak .

    54. meg says – reply to this


      54

      They should wait til conditions are clear in Antarctica and START there. All of the other continents are go as you please (no waiting for weather conditions), so you wait until you get the OK to go there, and THEN go to the other places. :)

    55. misspulga says – reply to this


      55

      START IN ANTARCTICA!!! It *does* make sense if you think about it… If they get bad weather, then they won't have wasted all that time going around the rest of the world and being disappointed when they fail, at the end, because of the weather. Well, technically it's too late for that now, but in future they should try a different approach.

    56. la says – reply to this


      56

      they should wait, get over there, do the show, and then fly back to the first show they did and redo it within the timeframe….hello!

    57. Rosemary says – reply to this


      57

      They should have a freakin thought for the planet and not waste all that feul on unnecessary travel for a publicity stunt. I'm not an eco warrior or anything but I mean come on!

    60. amytoby00 says – reply to this


      60

      What they need to do its DO IT OVER, BUT THIS TIME ……START WITH ANTARTICA, that way they get it out of the way so that stupid continent can't fuck up their plans anymore!

    61. kweth says – reply to this


      61

      they should try making good music.

    62. mari says – reply to this


      62

      here's a thought… if Antarctica is the problem, why not START there?

    63. bijoux says – reply to this


      63

      They should START with Antarctica, that way whenever they can get there will kick off the series of concerts. The other locations won't provide the "stopper" like Antarctica has the risk of doing.

      64

      hes getten pree fat nowadays

      Dumb Fucks should have started in Antartica FIRST.

      They should fly there in a helicopter, hover over where ever they have to in order for it to qualify as "Antarctica" and play a song from the 'copter!

      wtf is with these people who think they are meteorologists?

      and btw, to everyone saying fob only has 13 year old fans, im 19 years old and have liked them since i was 14. also, 13 year old grow up, you know. unless you are talking about some eternal teens that seem to get brought up when any pop act gets brought up.

      "shitty" is a very broad statement. i think bob dylan can't sing. i don't call his music shitty. however, i enjoy listening to stevie wonder and michael jackson. i also enjoy spoon and feist and many other types of music.

      elitists can suck my non existent ballsac.

      74

      It wasn't PLANNED that they were going to do this until recently.

      THEREFORE STARTING THERE wasn't an option, they just figured they had done the rest of time, they might as well try for this. This is not their "life" goal, it was to bring awareness to Global Warming, which I think they have done. People are talking, that's all they want…

      Keep it up!!

      boo hoo hoo…who gives a rats ass….FOB should focus on doing something positive for the world rather than shamelessly promote themselves.

      76

      Uhm,
      I don't know why the Wentz is all upset.
      It's not like the world was actually -robbed- or anything because FOB couldn't play Antarctica, more like Antarctica was saved..

      what should they do? they should stop contributing to global warming by flying unnecessarily all over the world just to get into a record book. that'd be a start.

      85

      They should get a dose of reality and realize there are more important things in the world than a concert on in Antartica that no one will hear just to get a guiness book of world record. Frind something better to do like saving the career of your gf.

      they should have started in antarctica, work with antarctica's weather - then proceed to the other continents. If the weather isn't good to leave, keep playing a concert there until they can leave.

      That's an utter fucking retarded idea. Who the fuck are they going to play for? The scientists researching at the various government bases? I'm sure they're huge fans.

      Does that guy just not care how much of a fucking douchebag he is? God, no wonder he "tried to kill himself." By popping Ativan. Which he couldn't even spell correctly. Way to go, bucko. Next time try something more efficient. Perhaps a gun?
