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???????

hello, obvious. Start in Antarctica next time.
Well all I have to say to that is:
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck my dick, Fall Out Boy, you're shit!
Re: katie – I love when people try to make other people look stupid and end up making themselves look stupid. Moron.
It's worse than Giraldo opening an empty tomb? This was in no way a big deal EVER to anyone.
They should suck eachothers cocks on all 7 continents.
4get ABOUT iT DUMP ASS-LEE GiVE THE RiNG TO ME & GO ON TOUR iN THE US! WHATTA THiNK?
If he had half a brain he would have STARTED in Antartica and avoided most of the probable chance of failure.
They should have played Antarctica first…. dummies!
Well, yeah, start over again but this time start in the Antartica when the weather permits and then finish the tour. Duh!
Anyone with this much money and privilege to set such worthless goals should be shot. How about doing something to oh, I don't know, raise awareness?? Or just use the money spent carting their asses around the fucking world to Sierra Leone or something? Right, Fall out Boy, you guys are just so DIY and Punk that you spend your money on your tight jeans and fucking flat irons for your fried hair. I can't wait until their fan base grows up and the demographic moves on to some new trend. At least boy bands didn't try to pretend they were just fame/money whores…
Oh God, GROW UP!! It's fucking ANTARCTICA-Petrina should've been prepared for the possibility of bad weather. DUH! Sheesh, quit the whining. Ridiculous.
I may be reading his quote wrong but I think it's worth mentioning that there was basically nothing in Al Capone's vault other than some empty bottles and other minor useless trash. That was why it was such a lame disappointment. That's why it became a pop culture joke.
They should of gone and they helicopter should of just crashed and killed this fucking emo fag once and for all.
May be Sell out boy airplane will crash with Asslee in it and we won't hear from them again.
why not go to Antartica when there is a chance and then schedule last minute shows on the other continents? Just do it in reverse order.
In typical emo fashion, they should write a sad poem about this 'tragic disappointment', cry about it, then slice their wrists before defiantly venturing to Antarctica, just so they can flaunt their commitment to, ummm, getting attention and, like, all that stuff.
Re: JF –
ur a douchebag they just got the idea to play 7 contneits when they were done 6 of then god ur a real mother fucker..ehhh
OMG!!! Ashlee Simpson doesn't deserve him…Pete Wentz is fucking gorgeous!!
ANTARTICA??? WHO THE FUCK DO THESE GUYS THINK THEY ARE?? THEY DONT HAVE BALLS BIG ENOUGH TO PULLS THIS OFF, AND THEIR MUSIC IS SHITE. PENGUINS DONT WANNA HEAR THAT CRAP.
PS. PETE WENTZ, TAKE A SHOWER AND BUY A RAZOR
That's the dumbest goal ever. Who would they play for? Penguins? Lol
how about a MASS SUICIDE
I WOULD SO JAM MY COCK INSIDE DOWN PETES THROAT.HE WOULD MAKE IT IN THE GUINESS FOR SUCKING A COCK AND CHOKING ON IT THE LONGESST AMOUNT OF TIME.
Sounds like a lot of pollution via airplane for these fucktards to set a stupid record. Maybe they should concentrate on making decent music, now that’s an accomplishment.
Maybe they can play in Mexico and have a benefit for all of the abused Emos there.
LOL That's what they get for trying to "one up" 30 Seconds To Mars"
who filmed their video "A Beautiful Lie" 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle
in Greenland and Iceland on Icebergs. The BIG difference though is that
30stm did it for Global Warming awareness with the launch of a proactive
website. abeautifullie.org
All the proceeds for the video go to environmental organizations
Fall Out Boy was only trying to do this for accolades
when 30stm travels the buy green tags to offset their carnbon emmissions
and use ethenol for their tour bus
It actually says alot about how different they are
to be "givers rather than takers"
i thought the valut ended up being empty?
The Fall Out Boy crew definitely went to Antarctica, because one of the techs had a photos on his personal MySpace that was very obviously taken there, so they must have been well annoyed to abort the mission.
If Antarctica is the hardest part of the trip, why didn't they just start there?
Re: katie –
here Katie, let me put this simply for you. They should START in Antarctica, WHILE the weather is good, then leave. See, not so hard, right?
OMG Pete Wentz could you please fucking complain about one more thing?!? I swear to god he is the whiniest baby to ever walk the earth. All he EVER does it whine and bitch about everything.
While it would suck to be close to something you wanted to do and not be able to do it, THATS LIFE, get over it.
You all need to shut up about 'they should have started in Antarctica" crap. Seriously? Not only are you all stealing that idea from previous comments, but they probably came up with the idea after they had been to 3 or 4 of the continents. Also, I would think that it would be more convenient to go to Antarctica after South America, seeing as South America is between North America and Antarctica. Get over yourselves. Doing something different and setting a goal foe themselves doesn't make them douches.
Re: Jordan –
you do realize that they are in league with invisible children, right? i'm fairly certain that qualifies as raising awareness. they even made a music video about it (Me & You), which was shot in Africa. So they did, and i quote, "[cart] their asses" somewhere for a good cause. get your facts straight before you attack somebody.
Re: punkfuckingrock –
"Sounds like a lot of pollution via airplane…" Are you kidding me? Well, if one plane ride is so god damn bad for they enviroment, why dont you swim across the ocean the next time you need to go to another continent.
Re: constantlybored –
I forgot to mention; FOB was going to be working with Greenpeace for the concert in Antarctica to raise awareness about global warming. Just so you know.
nearly for got to mention; FOB was going to be working with greenpeace for the concert in Antarctica in order to raise awareness about global warming. just so you all know that there was a good cause behind all this.
Well, sorry to hear that Fall Out Boy.
You could always try again, its not like it's the end of the world.
The world is full of hits and misses, and you guys just seemed to miss it by a little bit.
They should set the world record for most whining by grown men in a 24-hour period. Boo-Fucking-Hoo.
You people need to grow up. Okay, are you serious? Stop being jealous because these boys have the talent that you don't. Shut up and actually listen to Fall Out Boy's lyrics, they are amazing. You are just too stupid to realize what they mean. And since when does looks effect the sound? Their personal life has nothing to do with you. So what Pete is happy with Ashlee, I don't like her but they are perfect together. Save the drama for t.v. shows, no one wants to hear it.
I say let them fly there but protect the penguins with good taste. it's the worst feeling I've felt in Fall Out Boy? fuck off
They should try again, but this time START IN ANTARCTICA!
this stunt is supposedly meant to bring attention to global warming. aren't they just contributing to the problem by flying around all 7 continents by private jet?? fucking hypocrites.
is there anyone in antarctica to even put a show on FOR?
uh. maybe play antarctica FIRST? duh.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN –
Fuck you radical queen! Jim Morrison was not gay and he is more
popular and influencial than you will ever be! So fuck off!!
You guys who think FOB are a bunch of losers, well, you are WRONG!!! They are pretty awesome and I love Patrick, Joe, Pete and Andy! ♥
uhh does anyone rlly care?
They should all suck Ashley Simpsons dick at the same time! Most people ever to blow Ashley Simpson at one time!
go for the world record of the biggest mass suicide at a emo punk concert.
Forget trying to break a record and be in the Guinness world record book…Pete should just make a tell all photobook of him being banged by me over and over and over and over again…
HOT!
you people are all idiots.
they didn't start out planning on setting a world record. they got the idea when they realized how much they've traveled in the past nine months.
all of you who hate fall out boy, STFU. seriously, just because YOU don't like them has NO merit on their talent. SO GET A LIFE and stop acting like you have ANY decent taste in music. thanks and goodbye.
Maybe you should of played Antaritca first MORONS
they should try again, but this time start in Antarctica, so they can get the hardest continent to do a concert on first, then do the rest!!!
Pete could fuck my man ass day and night until we set a world's record for how many times I can make a hot emo cum.
Kent1470
he sounds like a very sheltered loser…i understand that it would be disappointing bt lets not go overboard…he should listen to his girlfriend sing live and he would realize that there are much worse things that happen on earth
Maybe he can invite all of the Antarcticanos to a show in LA and set a record for the worst music humanly possible heard by a non-existent group of people.
write good music then you will not have too try stupid sh*t like that
A fairly pointless record that someone else would only have broken in a couple of years anyway.
Leave Antarctica to the pinguinos and the tiny little Chilean population, neither of which is a big fan of this band.
they're supposed to start w/ antarctica first…duh
This is sad.
I'm definitely blogging about this shit hole.
OUR BOY HAS A POTTY MOUTH!!! I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD STRIP HIM DOWN TO HIS TIGHTIE WHITIES AND SPANK HIS FIRM YOUNG BUTTOCKS TIL HE LEARNS HOW TO CLEAN UP HIS SHIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
OH NO I DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..I ALMOST BITCH SLAPPED SOMEONE TODAY!!! SOME PUNKASS GOT IN MY SHIZZZZZZZZZ BUT I TOOK THE HIGH ROAD AND HOPPED IN MY CAR……DAMN IT…..I'M READY FOR "TOP DOWN" WEATHER…..THIS WEATHER HAS ME FUZZED UP……………………HEY PEREZ….YOU WERE PRETTY ROUGH ON GRANDMA LOHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most everyone on here is bitching, moaning and complaining about how he is being a bitch; moaning, crying and complaining. They have done charity work in Africa, I don't think they were trying to get publicity solely for Fall Out Boy. If you hate them so much why are you wasting your precious time writing posts about how much you hate them and how bad their music is? Live and let live. Also…you are only as old as you feel…so if they want to dress like teenagers when they're only in their 20's let them. Would you rather they were wearing elastic waist slacks and button up shirts with nylon vests? Maybe that is what you are wearing, which is why most of your posts read like 75 year old grump grandparents.
Aw man! I'm so sad that they weren't able to make it! It was cool that Pete kept everyone updated the entire way though…I was so rooting for the boys!
What should Pete and the boys do???????
Well, I think Petey bird should check back into reality..no one give a flying fuck, about him or that backwards retarded GF he poses with. they are hid-e-ous
Who the fuck is Fall Out Boy, why can't I or anybody in a room full of 20 people name one of their stinking songs??
Why doesn't this Fag concentrate on trying to write good, innovative material and stop trying for publicity through gimmics.
At this point we don't need any more tourist in the Arctic. On Tuesday a chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk. Glaciers are melting at a rapid rate and sea levels are rising. It's very selfish/vain of this band to contribute to the global warming issue in the Arctic for a stupid world record.
this makes me laugh because my dad just spent 3 weeks in Antarctica in february. if a nearly 60-year-old man is badass enough to get there, says a lot about the wussies of FOB crying into their lucky charms about 'bad weather'.
penguins don't have any talent for you to steal, assfaces.
Oh my god!! Pete Wentz is such an idiot~!
Wouldn't it have made sense to *start* in Anartica since that is the hardest continent to get a flight to?
Shouldn't Antartica be first on their trip… DUMB FUCKS
NO ONE CARES!!!!!! GOD, THEY SUCK SO HARD.
FOB should try again and this time START with Antarctica. That way, it will be easy to get to the other continents to beat the world record
Re: Househead1111 – THANK you - I was going to post the same painfully obvious suggestion.
Re: katie – Yeah, but then you wouldn't be shattered cause you'd almost made it - and you could try again the next day - think it through.
they should commit mass sucide.
They should break up that ball sucking excuse of a band!
Pete Wentz smokes more cock then FATTY!
They could kill themselves.
hehe yes they are dumb…if you read the first post about it the idiots thought there were only 5 continents…as prev people have mentioned they should either start in antarctica or just die…i prefer the latter…
man, what that dude knows about playing bass you could shove up mosquitos ass and it would rattle around like a bb in a boxcar.
If Antartica is so unpredictable why not try again, but make Antartica the first stop. That way the difficult location would be out of the way.
Re: meg – no weather conditions anywhere else? do you live in like the desert or something…snow and ice frequently delay flights all over stupid…are you even aware there is different weather all over the earth…or do they not talk about that in EMOmonthly?
THEY SHOULD HAVE WENT TO ANTARCTICA FIRST!!! IDIOTS.
Hm,
why don't they go slit their wrists?!?
That's a novel idea.
They should get the award for
"Band who sold out the fastest".
maybe they can get into the books by being the worst band ever!
How about if they end it all like The Young Ones did in their final episode. That would be great — and would do the world a big favor at the same time.
Heres a brilliant IDEA. Play in Antarctica FIRST. That way after you get done you will have no idea leaving to go to the other continents. WHO WOULD OF THUNK IT.
WTF is wrong with this asshole? A disappointment…yah I get that…but STF up already…there are more important things to concern yourself with…get the fuck over it. LOVE "This ain't a scene…" btw … one of my fave songs tho it's really difficult to respect someone who is a bit of a drama "queen" AND dates an Asshole who has no talent. Just sayin
Pete should try to get into the record books by becoming the male equivalent of Annabel Chong. I have a feeling he can take it!
Re: Jordan –
Hmm you obviously pay no attention to the fact that Fall Out Boy are a big part of raising awareness in Uganda - they have worked for the organisation Invisible Children and travelled to Uganda fairly recently to raise awareness.
And this whole sellout/ money/ fame crap is a load of bollocks! Everyone today in the music business has to make their money as album sales don't make them a living alone.
One of the best things about FOB is that they are very considerate of their fanbase and keep the concert ticket prices as low as they can so that people can get a chance to see them. Other bands charge ridiculous amounts.
Also i think it is fucking awesome that they are trying to do things like this record breaking attempt - as a fan it is fun to follow what they do and wonder what they will do next =)
how about the first band to realize they suck and all kill themselves at the same time
"What should Pete and the boys do???????"
Umm… quit whining and try it again?
START in Antarctica… DUH!
Pete should try again when the weather in Antarctica is in it's "best" season. They should start in Antarctica, and have the other locations semi-set. Once they get into Antarctica, they can confirm dates for all locations. Should be easy enough this way!
They should make the world's biggest pizza and then feed it to all those who are starving.
they shud play a concert in northern ireland….may not be a record but they shud still do it
Re: Genius – thunk isnt a word…its thought…well done, your such a "genius"!
I love the "daisy chain of blow jobs" idea but I think sucking dick for them is kinda 'been there, done that'. My suggestion would be that instead of giving head they could FIST one another and create a human ball chain necklace. Now no one's ever done that before for sure….. except maybe the Osmonds. And they could even do it IN Antarctica!!! OMG!!
They should be the first band that commits suicide on stage. That will get them a mention in the book.
Pete could perform naked on stage for 12 hours straight, I think that would do it.
Maybe write a song that doesn't sound like a boy-band with sports highlight corporate rock guitars in the background.
they're already such sell outs, and their music is no longer any good. who fucking cares
they should give up
