UltimateGuitar.com Interviews Joe Trohman

"The other day I went to a Japanese restaurant and then to Target, and I got bugged. But just last night, I went to a jazz bar. Nobody bugged me there. So it all depends upon where I go to hang out. It’s never that bad. Honestly, most people are like super cool, and they’ll just come up to me and shake hands, and that’ll be it. But it rarely gets out of control."

Infinity On High Follow-Up

I just read that Fall Out Boy will be going back into the studio in a few months to start recording their follow up to Infinity On High. They are also recording a video for their cover of Michael Jackson's beat it. The video will be directed by Shane Drake.

Yesterday, the new Fall Out Boy Live CD/DVD, ****Live in Pheonix, came out. I've already listened to the whole CD and watched the concert portion of the DVD, and they were both thoroughly enjoyable. Along with the concert, the DVD includes a behind the scenes featurette of the Honda Civic Tour and all of their music videos. The CD also includes a recording of their cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" featuring the "shredology" (as Joe Trohman described it) of John Mayer. Other people featured on the DVD include Gabe Saporta, Dirty, Adam T. Siska, Charlie Mark, Jim Sevcick, and Andress Stuart

Yeaaah, so my music taste ranges. I would love to see Led Zeppelin on their new tour, and I would also love to see Fall Out Boy at one of their Chicago shows.

In a week I'm going to see Matchbox 20 and a few weeks after that I'm going to see Cobra Starship, The Cab, Metro Station, and We the Kings.
