Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump Worried About Dong!

While on their massive sell-out tour of Australia, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump took some time out of the band's busy schedule to kick back for a chat with take40.com!

During the chat, Patrick expressed a peculiar concern exclusively to Take 40 about his accommodation in Melbourne while on the current tour...

"In the bathroom there's nothing between the shower and the window, I'm sure people in the street could totally see my dong".

That, my friends is the very definition of too much information.

Check out the actual quote from Patrick... er... Stump here:

And our special guest critic Patrick Stump (or P.V. Stump, as he’s known in print) returns for his second review: the Black Lips’ 200 Million Thousand. Stump writes that the sloppy Atlanta rockers so effectively channel influences like the 13th Floor Elevators and the New York Dolls, their own eccentric identity gets lost in the mix.

Rolling Stone’s New Critic: Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump
2/4/09, 6:08 pm EST


Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump has been in Rolling Stone before — he’s even been on our cover. But the Sean Penn issue hitting newsstands today marks the first time the singer-guitarist has written for the magazine: Yes, Stump reviewed the forthcoming CD/DVD The Ultimate Peter Tosh Experience under the byline P.V. Stump for Issue 1072.

“It’s insane to say, but I never planned on being a singer,” Stump tells Rolling Stone. “The thing I really wanted to do was write about music; it’s what I planned on doing when I went to college.” Stump says he grew up with a subscription to Rolling Stone and spent hours listening to radio shows hosted by Chicago critics Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis.

When Stump visited our offices late last year, he confessed he’d always wanted to review albums for RS — so we put him to work. Why Peter Tosh? “I had a huge ska and reggae phase in junior high, so he’s always been a background character in my study of music,” Stump says. In his four-star review, Stump writes, “If Bob Marley was reggae’s Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh was its MC5: less accessible, more cocky and a whole hell of a lot more dangerous.”

Even though Stump is currently overseas with Fall Out Boy and the band will be hitting the road Stateside in the coming months, he’s already got his next assignment. Check back to follow Stump’s budding career as a critic, and enjoy his first review here:

The Year of the Collaboration: How Patrick Stump, T-Pain and Elvis Costello Spread the Love in ‘08
12/30/08, 11:50 am EST

According to the Chinese calendar, 2008 was the year of the rat. But if you ask us, ‘08 belongs to a different animal: The Collabo. And no artists cross-pollinated more than Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump (he got down with Questlove!), Elvis Costello (he went emo!) and T-Pain (he was permanently attached to a vocoder!) Here’s your guide to this year’s most collabo-happy stars:

Patrick Stump
Collaborations: Gym Class Heroes; Tyga; Pete Wentz protégées the Cab. And Stump’s stamp was all over hip-hop — he teamed up with Ne-Yo (”Finish Your Food”), the Roots (”Birthday Girl”) and T.I. (”Out in the Cold”) — but none of the tracks made the final versions of their respective albums.
Signature Sound: Emo meets blue-eyed soul
Hottest Track: “One of Those Nights.” On this strutting Cab cut, Stump plays a man begging a girl for a second chance (”I’m a mess… just give me time”). His wince is so desperate that it might just do the trick.
This Is Why He’s Hot: He’s a slave-driver. “For as little as he is, dude’s pretty fucking militant,” says GCH frontman Travis McCoy. “He’ll be like, ‘Travis, hit this note!’ and I’ll be like, ‘Just tune that shit!’ and he’ll say, ‘Just fuckin’ be a man and hit that shit!’ I got four feet on the dude, and he’s putting me in check.”

He sings better without glasses
Fall Out Boy frontman says not seeing well helps him concentrate & manage stage fright
By Germaine Lim
December 27, 2008

IN showbiz, will party, right?

Mostly, yes. Singer and new mother Ashlee Simpson, 24, and her husband, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, 29, were seen hitting the clubs just weeks after the birth of their son, Bronx Mowgli, in November.

But Wentz's bandmate, Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, says the party scene is not for him.

The 24-year-old claims he doesn't even know how to order drinks at the bar.

Fall Out Boy interview: Sharing the madness
Published Date: 21 December 2008
By Jon Caramanica


NO ONE is paying Patrick Stump much attention during an evening shopping excursion at the East Village vintage vinyl emporium in New York. Flipping through racks of albums swiftly, like the record-shop employee he once was, Stump, 24, prefers it this way. That he is the lead singer of the multi-platinum rock band Fall Out Boy has done little to convince him that attention is something to warm to.

Notes from the music beat ...
Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:28 AM EST
BY GARY GRAFF
Of The Oakland Press



Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz have been writing songs together since founding the quartet seven years ago in Chicago. But Stump says their creative relationship took a leap forward while making the band’s fifth album, “Folie a Deux,” which comes out Tuesday.

“I won’t lie; there have been times before where I definitely don’t think I was reading as much into the lyrics as I probably should have, being a songwriting partner,” says Stump, 24, who writes the music and sings bassist Wentz’s lyrics. “I just was really more interested in what I was doing musically.

“This time Pete ... kind of stumbled onto this theme of pointing out selfishness and the way that people are selfish, whether they know it or not. That struck a chord with me. So this time around I let the words really be my focus, too, and what I was doing musically existed to help with what he had to say.”

Stump also is gushing as a de facto uncle to Bronx Mowgli, Wentz’s son with Ashlee Simpson, who was born on Nov. 20. And he sought to do more than just write a song for the occasion.

“I wanted to make something,” Stump says. “I didn’t want to just go over with a card or whatever. Pete and I are both in this place where we can afford stuff. We have stuff, so buying something doesn’t mean that much anymore.

“It really is the thought that counts. So, I’m making something, my girlfriend and I — in my free time, whenever that is.”

Stump says Fall Out Boy plans to be on the road for most of 2009 promoting “Folie a Deux,” which is a French term for “a madness shared by two.” The album features guest appearances by Lil Wayne, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Pharrell Williams and, on the track “What a Catch, Donnie,” an all-star chorus that includes Elvis Costello, Panic at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, William Beckett of The Academy Is ..., Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes and Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship.

"I Don’t Care,” the album’s first single, peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Ho t 100 chart and No. 10 on the Hot Digital Songs survey.

Fall Out Boy headlines The Night 89X Stole Christmas at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave. The Academy Is ..., Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Innerpartysystem also will perform. Tickets are sold out. Call (313) 961-5451 or visit www.livenation.com.

Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump takes to fame slowly
by Sally Browne


BEING the lead singer of a band usually involves a certain amount of arrogance and attitude.

But Patrick Vaughn Stump, singer and guitarist of the phenomenally successful Los Angeles-based Fall Out Boy, would have to be one of the most unassuming music frontmen around.

On stage, he may captivate with his powerful voice, but off stage he's just "normal Patrick Stump" (his words). Even his name doesn't sound particularly rock star.

He reckons he gets star-struck by celebrities, is glad he no longer has to deal with the dating game, and is happy that bass player and lyricist Pete Wentz has shouldered most of the celebrity limelight.
