I think people don't like Pete Wentz because he's the face of Fall Out Boy, but he's not the lead singer. It's an unconventional thing for the frontman not to be the singer and people are put off by that.
It was a conscious thing done by the band because Patrick didn't think he could be a believable "frontman" and frankly, didn't want that title. Pete could better handle it and that's why they don't hate each other.
When people say "_______ band sucks," it's usually because they're into a completely different form or style of music; and thus their opinion doesn't count. It's like if I said, "Metallica sucks" it's only because that's not my favorite style of rock...I don't even like metal music, period. Therefore, anyone who says "fall out boy sucks" to someone who likes fall out boy, really doesn't have a valid opinion.
And for that Fred Durst comment, bollocks! Fred Durst is a huge tool who takes himself too seriously...that's why everyone hates or hated Fred Durst. |
