Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman: 'My Best Thing Is Putting On The Best Live Show'

With an ever-growing myriad of music awards and platinum records to their credit, Fall Out Boy persistently delivers their brand of melodic punk rock to elated audiences worldwide. Joe Trohman, guitarist for the popular Chicago based band, subsists for the live experience. Known for his energetic stage antics, especially his signature spin known as “Trohmania”, his number one goal is to get out there and put on the best live show possible. The recently released CD/DVD “Fall Out Boy - Live In Phoenix” is temporarily appeasing fans while the band uses the summer of 2008 to record their next studio album.

Below is Brian D. Holland's recent conversation with Joe Trohman, in which he talks about everything concerning himself and the band. He talks enthusiastically about the new Joe Trohman signature Washburn WI26 guitar as well.

Inserting the elements of classic pop-rock -- glossy hooks, brisk tempos, big choruses -- into a punk-touched modern template, the Chicago quartet pulled away from the emo pack earlier in the decade to build itself a hardy home in the mainstream. The band visits metro Detroit this weekend in one of the big rock bills of the young summer season. Guitarist Joe Trohman answered questions from Free Press music writer Brian McCollum as Fall Out Boy prepped to hit the road.
