Knowing Patrick and Joe were 16 making eowyg is like. Oh ok. But knowing they were 23 during ioh is like. Oh my god. Oh my god.

What to i do after hearing dark alley, what a catch, bob dylan, i am my own muse, and bang the doldrums live

Sorry to bother you with this question but I don't really know anyone in FOB fandom. I'm not new here, but I do work an extremely busy job (I'm an ER nurse) so I am admittedly a bit lost on some things about this current tour. Like what is the 8 ball stuff, and do you happen to know any general set list for the shows? If you don't feel like answering, that's totally cool too. I see a lot of your posts in the FOB tag so I thought I'd ask. :) Thank you in advance! xx

First, thank you for your all that you do in healthcare! Absolutely no apologies, I'm happy to help :)

Major tourdust spoilers ahead! (of course)

I'm going to take this ask as a chance to explain all the setlist fun stuff in one spot, so here we go! The setlist has been consistent except for four main points, which I'll explain below. For ease, I'm going to be referring to Bonner Springs' setlist (6/24/23), so when I use numbers to refer to song placement, those are the ones I mean.

If you wanna skip ahead anon, magic 8 ball is explained in letter D :]

A. The first change in the setlist has only happened once and takes place 6th in the setlist, following 16 candles and preceding Grand Theft Autumn. It's usually Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, but has also been Homesick at Space Camp and Dead On Arrival (after their respective tour debuts as magic 8 ball songs). Songs 6-8 are played in a TTTYG themed section of the set every night.

B. The second change is slightly more regular and takes place 12th in the setlist. This song is often "The Take Over, The Breaks Over," but every now and then it gets swapped out for Hum Hallelujah, as well as Bang the Doldrums (after its live debut as a magic 8 ball song in LA). It was once swapped out with 7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen).

C. The third change is different almost every night, with only a couple repeats here and there. This is Patrick's section of the setlist, at track 15 after Fake Out, where he just plays one or two snippets of songs on piano (or sometimes acoustic guitar) before a shortened cover of Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. Oftentimes, if he plays two songs, one of them is from Fall Out Boy and the other is a cover of whatever he feels like. Often referred to as "piano medley" or just "medley." (Golden, What A Catch, Donnie, and What a Time to be Alive have been very popular relatively for this part of the setlist, sksk patrick)

D. The fourth and final change on the setlist is known as the "Magic 8 Ball" song and takes place after Hold Me Like a Grudge at track 23. This song is where Pete asks a "giant magic 8 ball" (a screen above the stage) what song they should play anywhere from their entire discography. Here's a video of him asking (the spiel is about the same every night). Each magic 8 ball song has been different for each show, with exceptions described in letter H. Some of these songs have never been played live before, some haven't been played in over a decade, some just haven't been played in a while or as often but they are a complete secret/surprise every night! Additionally, Pete has said that once a song has been played for the magic 8 ball section, it can appear elsewhere in the setlist at future shows. So, really, anything can happen.

Fall Out Boy has gotten even more unhinged lately, so here are a few more setlist changes.

E. As mentioned above, the piano medley usually ends with a cover of Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. Twice now, however, this song has been sacrificed for other songs: August 1st for Gym Class Heroes' Travie Mccoy being brought on stage (Patrick played part of Stereo Hearts on piano, then they all played Cupid's Chokehold) and again on August 2nd for Sweet Caroline (a Boston Red Sox/Fenway Park tradition). The Journey cover has been played every show since.

F. Up until recently, a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train has been played after Baby Annihilation and before Dance, Dance. Enter Sandman by Metallica seems to have replaced Crazy Train in the setlist as of August 5th. Sometimes referred to (by me) as the "metal cover."

G. The only song from MANIA to make it on the tour's setlist, The Last of the Real Ones, has been cut from the setlist for a second Magic 8 Ball song (occurring right after the first Magic 8 Ball song). At first, it seemed like it was cut only for the duration of Patrick's sickness or for noise curfew, but it has not yet returned as of August 5th. It was a part of the "permanent" setlist up until July 29th, when it was last played.

H. As mentioned in letter G, a second Magic 8 Ball song has been added to the setlist every night since July 30th (Toronto, ON). The following cities have gotten two Magic 8 Ball songs:

LA, CA (July 2nd and 3rd) - first sold out show of the tour, Pete's home

Toronto, ON (July 30th) - only date in Canada

Forest Hills, NY (Aug 1st) - possible nod to the Hella Mega Tour dates that the band were unable to play due to a COVID-19 exposure

Boston, MA (Aug 2nd) - possible nod to the Hella Mega Tour dates that the band were unable to play due to a COVID-19 exposure

Darien Center, NY (Aug 4th) - possible nod to the Hella Mega Tour dates that the band were unable to play due to a COVID-19 exposure

Camden, NJ (Aug 5th) - they're probably just having a lot of fun doing spontaneous songs at the end of this leg! <3

For each double magic 8 ball night, the first one is a new song (one not yet played on Tourdust before, regular magic 8 ball rules apply) and the second is a repeat magic 8 ball song (any of the previous ones).

I. Spontaneous covers such as Shipping up to Boston and Coffee Mug have also appeared once each without cutting other songs in their place. The former was a nod to Boston and the latter a tribute. Really, just be prepared for anything at all times.

Extra fun note: The official setlists have the mystery song written in code, mostly using the NATO phonetic alphabet by abbreviating either the song's title or a key set of lyrics (GINASFS was written as "Golf" on the first setlist, Of All The Gin Joints in All The World, commonly referred to as Gin Joints, had the code name "Gamma Juliet," while Fame < Infamy's code name was "Bravo Whiskey Papa," referring to the lyrics "better with (a) pen" in the song)

Basically, they've been talking about having some of that old pre-fame ~scene rock show~ vibe where everything was spontaneous and they played til the cops showed up. It's a taste of going back to their roots and giving the fans what they want (and having a ton of fun while doing it!)

[I used this spreadsheet as a reference, made by this person on twitter]

So sorry anon for the novella here, I'm sure you wanted something quick but I couldn't help myself oops heh

when will we as a society excommunicate Fall Out Boy and P*nic! At The D*sco from the Holy Emo Trinity?

Fall Out Boy no longer makes emo rock music, which is fine, they're allowed to change their style, but it's not emo. Plus, Pete Wentz dated a 15 year old when he was 23, which is... icky.

Panic is just shit. Bredon Urie is shit. I'm not going to explain.

My Chem has stayed consistent, and as far as I know, they haven't been apart of anything cancelable.

I think we should replace P*nic and FOB with different emo bands from that era, and here are my ideas. I picked these bands off of different criteria -

How impactful they were to the emo movement

Are they punk rock? (aka are they not a scumbag?)

How memorable/screamable is their music?

Is their latest music still consistent with their old music? (are they still emo/rock)

What do the gays think of them?

Anyways, here are my votes to be added to the Holy Emo Trinity

Green Day - No one is more emo punk rock than Billie Joe Armstrong. Mans dropped kicked a guy in his concert for touching a girl and is bisexual. The gays love them, a lot of their music is memorable, even outside of the emo world, and their music is very much still the same

Paramore - While Paramore's discography is limited, they were a huge part of the emo community, especially in their early days. Some of their music even went mainstream, and was relatable. Their music is still memorable, and I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like Paramore

Evanescence - An iconic emo band. Bring Me To Life was screamable then, and it's screamable now. Their music hasn't changed at all, and Amy Lee is still rocking the emo look. While not all their music is memorable, I think Ecanescence still deserves to be apart of the reformed Emo Trinity

Avril Lavigne - While she isn't a band per say, Avril carried the emo punk girl movement, at least in my opinion. She's still touring and making the same music, and she still looks like she did back when she was at her "peak". Her music is still screamable and memorable. I don't know anyone who doesn't know who Avril Lavigne is.

Gorillaz - While Gorillaz isn't exactly rock, I know a lot of people listened to them back in their emo phase, so I think they deserve a spot on the list. Their music is iconic, and I especially know queer people go ape shit (pun intended) over the Gorillaz.

Personally, I think the Emo Trinity should change to My Chemical Romance, Green Day, and Paramore. What do you think?

7 year old me heard Welcome to the Black Parade for the first time from an older cousin and really enjoyed it.

9 year old me is told they can't go into Hot Topic and they should not look like that or listen to that. (Note that I recently found out she gets someone else to go in there to buy me gift cards now)

11 year old me is told they can pick out a concert for their birthday and wouldn't you know MCR was going to be playing the month before with Blink-182. But they were given Carrie Underwood tickets.

13 year old me got their first computer and solely used it to watch music videos and interviews from MCR, FOB, and other bands (also marvel but this is a band post). Later they were sobbing because they missed their chance to ever see MCR. This is about the time they realised they weren't straight.

15 year old me for unrelated reasons was hospitalized for various mental reasons, but gets back into MCR and other bands from the pop punk and emo scenes after not listening to them since the announced break up.

17 year old me sees FOB for the pre-mania tour, this is a defining moment because they had never been to a concert of their choosing before (looking at you grandma). This is about the time they realised they weren't cis, also when they listened to hHessiant Alien for the first time and got Twitter so see Gerard's tweets on pronouns and things.

19 year old me is devastated they don't have enough money to get to the reunion show in LA (that 20 year old me was able to but tickets for the tour later) but at least they received hella mega tour tickets to see FOB again.

21 year old me has graduated college and is working in the medical field in the height if a pandemic. Tickets for every concert they have has been post poned for at least a year if not more. They also finally come out as Nonbinary.

23 year old me has become reobsessed with the thing that saved my life all those years ago and is still saving my life today.

I cannot express how much love and acceptance I feel from these guys. I will always stand by that My Chem and Fall Out Boy saved my life. And I've always been proud to be part of these music scenes because I've rarely met someone in these music scenes or alt asetics that don't encourage you to be you and keep fighting. And now I have more bands and singers like Set It Off or Yungblud.

I dont remember much of my childhood but I remember the music and the messages. And that's why I'm still here today

why is it that listening to a concert in person with my actual ears feels like all the noise in the universe is put into an cacophony blender where i cannot hear the guitars clearly or even hear myself at all but when i listen to the video recordings on my phone it sounds like Dolby Stereo Digital Surround Sound Studio Quality where everything sounds perfect and also my singing voice is incredibly loud and slightly out of tune. can other people hear that. am i ruining the concert for everybody else by singing along to every song 😭 i feel so bad for the people who sat next to me at both the fob show and the mcr show.

literally every time i try to go out a silly little band i like does something devastating. i just wanted to have a fun little night at the jazz cafe and the theater with my friends and partners and then f*ll out boy played you're crashing at this point i should just post my calendar so y'all know when shit's going to happen

Saturday

I've been following the tour setlists and was very excited about the TTTYG songs plus the Magic 8 Ball song selection. The Magic 8 Ball songs were basically them pulling out random deep cuts and them doing them. I saw a couple of posts about Patrick having to read lyrics off the teleprompter but he still pulled it off. Our Magic 8 Ball songs were really great, especially getting the IOH deep cut G.I.N.A.F.S. The other fun part of the show is the piano medley. Patrick told us that Pete basically gives him an assignment every night and he has to make it work . I think this really speaks to how well Patrick and Pete work together. Pete knows Patrick can do whatever he throws at him. Patrick doesn't want to let Pete down and pushes himself to do amazing things . it's such a fun dynamic.

Some other fun things - their stage design was like a fancy high school prom. Risers for the band? Check. Overused prom themes like "Under the Sea"? Check. I think one was supposed to be Giving Tree as well? Then there was the whole aforementioned Magic 8 Ball. Their pyro and Pete's flame throwing bass came out for The Phoenix and My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark. And for Saturday (the set ender) we got the full confetti bombs.

Last couple of things - the songs from the new album are so great live. I especially enjoyed the opening Love From The Other Side, Heaven Iowa and Fake Out. I also commend the crowd for their amazing singalong skills. Sugar We're Goin Down and the TTTYG songs were just EPIC.

FOB once again Saving Rock and Roll one show at a time!

P.S. lots of video on my Insta!

please vote bc i’m so nervous that i’m making bracelets and nobody will trade so please if you’re going to So Much For (Tour) Dust on August fourth at Darien Lake please vote!!

Description:

Relive six decades of flying helicopters including an extended tour in Vietnam and the mountains of Afghanistan, with a little Iraq, Kuwait, and National Guard thrown in. This is Minuteman: Two, Three… Go! recounts Wayne Chasson’s times, from the early, young, and dumb days to a more seasoned pilot of Huey and other helicopters in three American wars and the National Guard here at home. From the tragic to the ridiculous, it’s all here in refreshing candor and lifelike detail, and told in the voice of the author. Chasson relives it all for us in this gritty and honest memoir—with humility, humor, and gratitude—as he himself is still trying to figure out how he made it through alive.

Review:  It was a decent book, a quick read that really is more of his look back on things. It gives you some good stories, some good anecdotes, and it’s semi-polished enough to give it readability and flow. It won’t give you the same experience as Chickenhawk or others in the same genre, but it will give those who know him - family and friends and such - a good insight into what he wants them to know about his time in Vietnam, and later Iraq and Afghanistan.

Roy ayers albums ranked

Further, Nielsen findings suggest that as a demographic these listeners serve as a worthwhile target for upscale brand marketing. In 2015, those album sales comprised 46% of jazz music consumption, an indication of a willingness to pay not found in other genres. While jazz listeners make up a relatively small part of the overall music consumption audience, Nielsen research shows that most of that is attributable to physical copy sales. Though nobody expects Ayers’ Lifeline to do Kind Of Blue numbers, the market this reissue caters to is known as one that pays for music. Reissued and kept in print by Sony Legacy, the 1959 jazz classic was the tenth bestselling vinyl album of 2016, shifting some 26,000 copies last years and tens of thousands in prior years. The latter record has been a staple of that particular chart, spending some 121 nonconsecutive weeks there. In recent years, Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart has featured wax reissues of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme and Miles Davis’ eternally popular Kind Of Blue. New jazz releases rarely count as moneymakers these days, yet reissue projects like this have the potential to do well, with deluxe editions, remastered recordings and new vinyl pressings appealing to collectors and new listeners alike. ( Lifeline collaborator Birdsong has a sample legacy of his own, with his 1979 track “Cola Bottle Baby” providing the musical foundation for Daft Punk’s “Harder Better Faster Stronger.”) Case in point, “Running Away” is responsible for tracks by A Tribe Called Quest, Common, and Big Daddy Kane. A favorite among beatmakers and producers, Ayers’ discography has served as an extensive sample source for numerous artists including Mary J. Bear is also scheduled to play Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, Mich., June 23 through 26, and Seattle’s famed Capitol Hill Block Party on July 23.The pioneering vibraphonist oft-danceable fusion of jazz and funk proved popular not only in his 1970s and 1980s heyday, but had a profound influence on the R&B and hip-hop to come. After a performance at Smokin Grooves Festival in Los Angeles in mid-March, the Mahal tour kicks off April 29 in Cincinatti, Ohio, before wrapping up May 11 in Houston, Texas. tour in support of Mahal this summer, bookended by a handful of festival appearances. “To have them live on that record feels grounded, bringing a communal perspective to the table.” “I wanted to make a record that featured more musicians on it than any other record of mine,” Bear said in a release. Mahal follows Toro y Moi’s critically acclaimed 2019 album Outer Peace and features appearances from visual artist and musician Sofie Royer, Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Ruban Neilson, Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo and jazz duo the Mattson 2. “Online trends that border cringe start to feel overused.” It’s an atypical sonic palette for a song about becoming swept up in the confusions of day-to-day life - but Bear’s breezy, almost nonchalant mode of confronting these emotions feels more like an act of radical defiance, rather than one of apathetic resignation.įlashback: Tina Turner Covers Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson on Debut Solo Album “East Coast friends fill me in, I know you get the early scoop,” he sings. Over an ambling, velvety beat that evokes the easygoing acid-jazz grooves of funk powerhouse Roy Ayers, Bear laments the mundane anxieties of 21st century living. Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure at Polydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk with his band Roy Ayers Ubiquity. The lighthearted video accompanying the song, directed by Brendan Nakahara, pays homage to Bear’s adopted hometown, displaying ample footage of San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate and Bay Bridges interspersed with clips of the musician and a group of friends skateboarding, riding in GoCars and grabbing dinner at Oakland hotspot FOB Kitchen. Roy Ayers (September 10, 1940) is an American funk, soul, and jazz composer and vibraphone player. Toro y Moi, the musical project of songwriter and producer Chaz Bear, has released “The Loop,” the third single from the Bay Area-musician’s upcoming album, Mahal, out April 29 via Dead Oceans.
