They’re gearing up for the release of their comeback album Save Rock and Roll and subsequent tour, and Fall Out Boy paid a visit to iHeartRadio Studios to discuss how things are going so far.
Drummer Andy Hurley noted that it’s quite a transition going back out on the road to play night-after-night live shows. “There was this moment before the first show where I was like, ‘Man, do I really want to do this? This is stressful!’ But once we started playing it’s like, that’s my favorite thing in life.”
Meanwhile, Joe Trohman (guitars) noted that he feels a bit rusty at this point- “At the Chicago show, during the first three songs (some of our older and faster songs) I said [to myself], ‘Oh, we’re too old to play these!’”
And lead singer/guitarist Patrick Stump confessed to forgetting his lyrics already! “Holy smokes, I forgot everything. There was one point where I was basically leaning on the three kids in the front who were singing every word. I was reading their lips because I was like, ‘I don’t remember these words at all.’”
