Couple of things I wanted to address about the Enzymes project because it's come up in chats and other places I've been talking to people

Ok this has been kinda bothering me for a while. I feel like some Black Cads fans are fake fans who are just into the thing because of Pete Wentz

First, I agree with shinshan. I don't limit myself to one genre of music. Nor do I make my listening choices based on the genre. At least half the music I listen to is because a friend when, "Hey, check this out
( ... )
That's kind of unavoidable again with the way the band is being promoted as Pete Wentz's New Band instead of Black Cards and while I understand why someone might think this is a good idea to a point, they need to start promoting them as Black Cards. As long as they keep promoting them as Pete Wentz's New Band, you're going to have people interested solely because of Pete. And again, I don't care if it gets them to the show. Bebe has an amazing stage presence, the four of them are great together live. That band is strong enough live to make it not all about Pete.
In a way I think it'd be easier to sell them to a non-FOB fan as the hiatus left a lot of the fanbase kind of bitter. As long as you're not pushing it as Pete Wentz's New Band and you're trying to push the music.
What are you, a marketing executive? Just because they don't have a contemporary band that they're exactly the same as down to the very last note doesn't mean that there isn't people who will enjoy it. Go be a suit somewhere else, we're busy here.
By your assessment, everyone here should also be head over heels for The Damned Things simply because of Joe and Andy's membership, and if you aren't awaiting Soul Punk with baited breath, then clearly you never were a true Fall Out Boy fan and should just end things now

Black Cards, at least the studio tracks: club music, dance music. It's an interesting choice for someone like Pete, because who listens to the lyrics of club songs? The lyrics are totally immaterial - as long as they enhance the music. Are there hooks? Can you dance to it? Is there something interesting or unexpected about it, so you won't get sick of it

Actually you're wrong on several accounts there. First of all, I quite dig their sound. THAT is why I'm supporting them. I think Bebe has a cool voice and find that everyone in this group deserves their recognition too, and sure I dig Pete, but am I a "Pete girl"? Uh. Do you come around here? No, Patrick Freak #1 reporting for duty. I am lucky enough that ALL of the FOB side projects have tickled my fancy, but that's because I have a pretty wide range (AS MANY MANY PEOPLE DO) in terms of my taste in music. I can go from Abba to Zappa in a blink of an eye, so what's wrong with this not exactly fitting a "genre" anyway

What I mean to say, it bothers me when I see people who fake their interest in BC because of Pete's image.
All I'm saying is that I have enough trouble getting my friends to like Fall Out Boy so it's hard to imagine a NON-FOB fan liking BC.
