Fall Out Boy
Yeah, yeah, Fall Out Boy is the number one band in the country, they've got a new album out that's the biggest thing ever and everyone loves them. But do you know the REAL story of Fall Out Boy? ...Neither do we, but we've got some cool pictures and weird facts. Really, what else could you want.

Fall Out Boy Falls In
Joe Trohman (guitar), Patrick Stump (lead vocals) and Pete Wentz (the cute one) formed the band in 2002, while Andy Hurley (drums) joined after the first album, 'Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend.' Apparently Andy was the special sauce they needed to really hit it big, cause two albums later, they made it (Ok, so he needed a little time, but still).

Fall Out Boy Almost
Falls OutSuccess doesn't mean happy. Pete Wentz's failed suicide attempt in 2005 almost broke the band apart. The title of '7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)' actually refers to this dark period in the band's history.

Fall Out Boy in the Buff
Since Pete wouldn't be Pete without standing out, nude pictures stolen from his Sidekick leaked to the web in 2006. Since a rock star wouldn't be a rock star without nude pictures, we barely even noticed. We might have been surprised if he'd had pictures of himself at dinner with his parents, though.

The Boy Writes a Book
Here's something we didn't see coming: Pete wrote a book about his childhood nightmares, called 'The Boy With the Thorn in His Side.' If you're looking to see what Pete dreamt about, Hot Topic sells it. Yeah, exactly.

'Infinity on High'
With a new album burning up the charts and the single 'This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race' already sold out in a cell phone commercial, we're gonna say the boys have gone mainstream ... we mean, Pete's dating Ashlee Simpson. She's not even the most alternative of the SIMPSON girls anymore. Still, FOB rocks hard enough for us to forgive 'em.
