Ok, so I, like millions of others, hate it when one of your favorite bands gets big and "everyone" knows about them. Fall Out Boy is a perfect example. When I picked up FOB's "Take This To Your Grave" a few years ago, I was hooked. Fantastic album. "From Under the Cork Tree" comes out. Again, great album. Few months go by and all of a sudden I hear FOB on the radio!??!!! It happens folks. Hate them all you want. Just don't go to their shows or support them in any way. Easy as that.--------- Of course I wasn't there, but more than likely this little punk deserved every bit of the beating he got:
"According to a Schuba's patron — who requested anonymity — in between songs during FOB's set, "a guy started calling Pete a sell-out, asking him 'Where's [girlfriend] Ashlee [Simpson]?' and making fun of his hoodie."
"Wentz apparently laughed the incident off — and even engaged in a little good-natured jawing with the heckler — but when FOB exited the club's tiny stage, things quickly sparked back up again."
""They did their last song, walked off the stage and headed toward a side door to go out onto the sidewalk. But that's when the scuffle happened," the concertgoer told MTV News. "The crowd surged back, then snapped forward. From my vantage point, I could see Fall Out Boy security was pounding on the guy. The guy was down on floor, shirt ripped, bleeding from ear and nose. There was a lot of blood."
From there, FOB were escorted out of the club, and the heckler "was helped up by his friends." According to the concertgoer, Chicago police were called to the scene, though it wasn't clear if any charges were filed; at press time, the Chicago Police Department had not granted MTV News' requests for information on the incident."
""The truth is on the way out the door I had to pass directly next to the guy and I knew it, so I kept my head down and walked out. As I did, the guy reached out and grabbed me and said something I couldn't really hear — it was a glorious use of the English language, though," he continued. "As he grabbed me, I punched him. Yell all you want at me, say whatever, but in a situation like that I will defend myself. After that, of course, it got chaotic, [but] we have several independent witnesses that gave statements saying he grabbed me first ... I am not worried over the outcome, as I was clearly in the right. Anything anyone else is saying or writing is simply not true."
