And it\u2019s one of those things where people would always ask me, \u201cAre you guys still writing?\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cWe\u2019re always writing. We were writing through the [2009-2012] hiatus.\u201d There\u2019s never a period where Pete and I aren\u2019t talking and writing. There\u2019s a lot of times where you don\u2019t have anything that you really feel like you need to share. And so we landed on this song, and it was like, \u201cLet\u2019s get in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt\u2019s really a very natural thing. I dug out some old amplifiers that I hadn\u2019t played on since probably 2008. And it was really funny \u2014\u00a0when I played chords, I was like, \u201cOh, wow, that sounds very 2006.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Pete Wentz:<\/strong> There always starts to get to be a little bit of an itch. But beyond there being the itch, I think about it way more in terms of what I would want out of a band like us. What standard would I hold? \u2019Cause my life at home is so task-oriented. You\u2019re just going to the next meal or the next cleanup. And so in that way, it\u2019s very regimented and easy. And so it\u2019s a lot harder to go, \u201cHmm, what would a Fall Out Boy song sound like in 2026? And what would our voice be like? And what would a show look like?\u201d And that\u2019s a lot more big and broad of a question, and in some ways, there needs to be a reason for doing it. Just doing it \u201cjust because\u201d doesn\u2019t usually work for art.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt starts with me and Patrick going back and forth usually, and sometimes it\u2019ll start with a lyric on that side, or other times Patrick will feel really driven. I was just looking because there\u2019s a video of him organizing his records, and I\u2019m like, \u201cThis guy has, like, four billion records.\u201d I think he just listens to seven-inches all the time, which I don\u2019t think a lot of people do in this day and age, but I really think he does, and there\u2019s no way that that didn\u2019t infiltrate the process of him making music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>The song does sound very 2006, but with fresh energy. <br \/>Stump:<\/strong> They\u2019re the same amplifiers as on \u201cSugar.\u201d I\u2019m not a really nostalgic guy. I\u2019m not a guy that gets really motivated by getting back to the past. But there was something really eerie almost about, like I said, just chords. Just playing open chords, and hearing that same sound coming out of speakers was neat. It was a new thing because I\u2019m also playing it 1794511837, and I know music theory now instead of when I was 19. It was a surprise to me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Where had these amps been, and why had you stayed away from them for so long?<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> They\u2019re just in storage. It\u2019s one of those things where you go through so many different tours and stage setups and production managers and tour managers. And there they are, and I was like, \u201cOh, let\u2019s hear what they sound like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd it was great. I\u2019d never seen this before \u2014\u00a0we broke a speaker cabinet. The electronics blew up. It was very weird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>With the last album, <em>So Much (for) Stardust,<\/em> it kind of picked up where you had left off with <em>Folie \u00e0 Deux <\/em>in 2008, before the hiatus \u2014 you reunited with producer Neal Avron for it, and for this single too.<\/strong> <strong>Did you discuss a direction this time around, or what you\u2019re trying to do?<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> Not really. It\u2019s this isolated thing, right? It\u2019s this song. I will say, obviously, I obsess over things, right? Over musical things. And in the 2010s, there was this speed and economy where you would just go into a studio for an hour, and people were slapping together every idea that you had, and all of a sudden you had a song, and you\u2019re like, \u201cWait a second. Can I take that again?\u201d And I missed the way Neal is like Kubrick, where we\u2019re gonna take it 1,000 times, and we\u2019re gonna spend so much time on mic placement and that kind of stuff. And take one sounded pretty good, but it\u2019s still about those impossible-to-place things. I really missed that.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt\u2019s funny \u2019cause the performance, the initial drum, bass, guitar stuff, that was done pretty quick, but then just all these little details where we\u2019re like, \u201cOK, so on bar three, should this feedback swell \u2014 that\u2019s panned to the left channel \u2014 should we move that to \u2026\u201d I love how granular it gets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Pete, how do you see this song fitting into the band\u2019s evolution?<br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> So around when we were putting out <em>Save Rock and Roll<\/em>, when we put out <em>American Beauty<\/em>, there were no bands on the radio at all, and pop radio was a really pervasive force at the time. And so in some ways \u2014 in terms of when you\u2019re giving your kid medicine and you hide it with some sugar \u2014 a band is there, but it\u2019s kind of hidden or it\u2019s baked in. And ultimately, the frustration of doing that came out on our record <em>Mania<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd <em>Mania<\/em> we put out, right? And we thought this one song was gonna be the single, and we realized it was another sea change, which is so interesting to have happen, where people really pick the singles themselves now. We live in a time where there just aren\u2019t gatekeepers. In some ways, people are building their own playlists or deciding what they like. Which is rad. And so that made us feel the freedom on <em>Stardust<\/em> to just make whatever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd for Patrick, I think it was really going back to taking our time to create each song, and he was like, \u201cWe gotta pick the drum mics.\u201d And we hadn\u2019t done that in such a long time. You didn\u2019t have to hide anything. We were at a time where whatever you put out, the stranger it is or the more authentic, in a time where there\u2019s a lot of inauthenticity, authentic stuff really cut through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWith this song, it\u2019s interesting \u2019cause I can play it for my kids now, and they all have all kinds of opinions and have their own view of what our band was before and what the music sounded like before. And so actually they were saying it sounds like there\u2019s a nostalgic sound to it, but that the lyrics were very 2026. And I was like, \u201cOh, that\u2019s interesting.\u201d And so, yeah, I can definitely hear it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAt some point you\u2019re judging your thing against your old thing, and when you\u2019re inside the machine it\u2019s a little bit hard to do because you\u2019re like, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d It all sounds exactly the same to me, and then also none of it really sounds the same. So it\u2019s interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Where did the rapid-fire little guitar lick at the beginning come from? <br \/>Stump:<\/strong> I went and saw Paul Simon, and he was talking about how when he was doing Simon &amp; Garfunkel, he would write all these really intricate guitar parts, but then he was the only guitar player, and so he had to play them. And after a while he was like, \u201cFuck, that\u2019s a lot. Why did I paint myself in this very complicated corner?\u201d And then when he started doing his solo thing, he started hiring other guitar players to just play it, and he\u2019s like, \u201cOh, that\u2019s great. I don\u2019t have to do this and sing at the same time.\u201d So that was something that I\u2019d been playing for a while, and I was [practicing] it, like, okay, I\u2019m gonna sing this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd I was like, it\u2019d be really fun if I didn\u2019t have to play this. So then I brought it to Joe [Trohman]. It\u2019s fun getting to pawn off the challenge. I get to do all the shredding in this little room by myself and then I\u2019ll demo it that way, but then I\u2019m forcing Joe to have to really practice it, and I get to sit back and just do chords. It\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>I \u200athink we, as a society, are starting to appreciate bands again, and there\u2019s just something about a live drummer. Hearing Andy Hurley really play on this is fun. <br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> It\u2019s so cool to see the playing field leveled, where everybody can create in their bedroom on a laptop. But at the same time, the 10,000-plus hours that Andy Hurley\u2019s done on the drums, that\u2019s just very, very hard to replicate in a test tube. You have to get out there and go and play in Knights of Columbus halls to do it. There\u2019s no other way around it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Stump:<\/strong> I do really like hearing everybody in the studio again. It\u2019s pretty amazing, like I said, that thing where you sit back and it\u2019s not even about the playing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe way that Andy hits a drum is different than the way that I hit a drum. That\u2019s one of the things that\u2019s most exciting for me is that I demo a lot of the stuff, so I play all the stuff on the demo and then we get it into the room, and then everyone plays it differently and then it happens. Then the thing really happens. I\u2019m excited about that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>The lyrics really do speak to fighting off aging. <br \/>Stump:<\/strong> Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, Pete\u2019s one of those ones that\u2019s really funny. He won\u2019t, even to me, he won\u2019t explain. So my guess is always as good as the audience\u2019s. Because a lot of the way that Pete writes too is really more like a quote book. \u00a0I remember this Yogi Berra book that my dad had. That\u2019s how Pete writes, is just these really compelling one-liners, and then I take them and put them together. And it\u2019s weird because sometimes I find that I have imbued a different meaning by misinterpreting it. I don\u2019t know where he\u2019s going with it. I know where I see it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThere\u2019s something in the aging thing for me where I\u2019m perpetually this little awkward guy. I\u2019m still 15, but then I\u2019m also in my late 70s. I never know where I fit, and wherever I\u2019m supposed to make the most sense, I still haven\u2019t found it yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Wentz:<\/strong> It used to be the question, \u201cCan you imagine getting on the stage when you\u2019re like 50?\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cAh, it\u2019s like three years away.\u201d Nobody would ask that question now. You know what I mean? Or maybe they would, but it\u2019s so much more real of a question. There\u2019s actually gotta be an answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Fans are obviously going to wonder: Is there an album attached to this? Will there be one at some point?<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> So I thought about that, \u2019cause I\u2019m like, \u201cYou\u2019re gonna get asked about that.\u201d But it\u2019s one of those things where, after Andrew Garfield, what do you do? Because the thing is that either I\u2019m gonna say the truth, which is that there\u2019s not currently an album, and it\u2019s gonna be, \u201cWell, he\u2019s lying about it,\u201d or that there\u2019s some, that there\u2019s the \u2026 There\u2019s no answer. So I don\u2019t know. I mean, there\u2019s not, there\u2019s not, there\u2019s nothing. I don\u2019t have a, there\u2019s no \u2026 Even if I were to \u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tYeah, I can say honestly, currently there is no album. I\u2019m not currently working on an album. But every space, I know now, every incomplete thought, there will be like, \u201cOh, well, that means this.\u201d So it\u2019s like, what do I even say \u2026 I\u2019m watching all the Marvel stuff, and every interview it\u2019s like, \u201cOh, so are you in <em>Doomsday<\/em>?\u201d And every answer that\u2019s \u201cno,\u201d everyone\u2019s like, \u201cThat means it\u2019s yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>But will the album be in <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>?<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> [laughs] Exactly. Yeah.<br \/><strong><br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> So we were looking at the process in a way that was similar to Hella Mega, which was the big tour we did with Green Day and Weezer. So when we did that, we did a song, and so we thought about it in terms of a song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u00a0I feel like there has to be something more to complete the picture, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just an album, or there could be a \u2026 I don\u2019t really know. That\u2019s a bad answer, but I would love to do a Fall Out Boy musical. I just wanna do something that has a slightly skewed perspective. But there\u2019s not an album that we\u2019re gonna dump out tomorrow currently, unless Patrick has done it without talking to anybody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>It\u2019s a very big tour \u2014 the biggest you\u2019ve done as headliners. Tell me about the thinking behind that.<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know, man. That\u2019s one of those things that\u2019s beyond me. The first headlining tour, Crush [Management] came back to me with the routings, and I was looking at them. And we\u2019re talking headlining the Metro. And I saw those routings and I was like, \u201cThis is insane.\u201d There\u2019s no way you think we\u2019re gonna fill those places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd they\u2019re like, \u201cNo, that\u2019s our gig. Trust us.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cOK.\u201d And that\u2019s pretty much been every tour that we\u2019ve done. They send me one of those, and I\u2019m like, \u201cYou can\u2019t be serious, though. That seems pretty \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe thinking is dragging me kicking and screaming, \u2019cause I\u2019m like, I gotta think there can\u2019t be that many people, you know? It\u2019s pretty exciting though. When we played Wrigley a few times and somebody asked me, \u201cDid you ever imagine that you were gonna play Wrigley?\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cI didn\u2019t know bands could play there.\u201d So I think this tour is beyond that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Wentz:<\/strong> This is our shot. This is our chance to do the biggest version of the whole thing. And in a pure Fall Out Boy [way], throw the kitchen sink into the whole thing. This is the time to do the production that looks like the musical, or this is the time to do the inside of your brain and do it in a stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhatever always usually ends up happening is we try to build the whole thing and it\u2019s basically papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 and they\u2019re like, \u201cYou can\u2019t tour this,\u201d and we try to find a way to tour the thing. So we haven\u2019t built any of that yet, but I\u2019m pretty excited about it, to do it when we do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>What can you say about production and the set list? What should people expect? Patrick says he usually doesn\u2019t see what you\u2019ve planned until the first day.<br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> OK, so the last tour when we did <em>Stardust<\/em>, we did our version of the Eras Tour. We did Days of Fall Out Past, and it was just our discography in chronological order, which was cool and a nightmare. When the whole show went perfectly, it barely worked. And of course, obviously, the show never, almost never goes perfectly. So I don\u2019t think it will be that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tI just love the idea, we grew up obviously, on Jim Henson, and we grew up on this tangible idea. And I\u2019m a big believer that you should actually be able to walk into the world and touch the thing and feel the thing. So I do want it to feel like a universe unto itself, that when people come to Soldier Field or when they come wherever, you\u2019ll be able to walk into the experience and feel like you are inside of it, and it\u2019s something that you can only experience there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Any specific ideas?<br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about the Fireside Bowl lately, which is a little teeny tiny venue. Every town or city has a venue that probably really shouldn\u2019t be a punk rock venue, but then it becomes it and you\u2019re like, \u201cYeah, we have a stage,\u201d but there\u2019s a bowling alley and the owner kinda doesn\u2019t want you there, but at the same time you bring in just enough money that they kind of allow you to be there. And that one was ours. And listen, I haven\u2019t talked about it at all, but would it be fun to rebuild that? I don\u2019t really know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOn the largest scale, this is our chance. Will Fall Out Boy ever get to play Soldier Field again? I don\u2019t know. Hopefully, but also maybe not, so maybe we should do something that will be added to Soldier Field\u2019s Wikipedia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Patrick, what are your thoughts about staging?<br \/>Stump:<\/strong> I did the acting thing for a little while, and I could be the character for a minute while the camera\u2019s rolling, but then when it\u2019s not, it feels \u2026 It\u2019s not exhausting. It feels annoying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAnd so when it comes to the rock star stuff, in the past, on the last couple tours, I found a lot of comfort in just being like, \u201cI\u2019m just some schmuck that sings.\u201d And there\u2019s a fun to that, and so yeah. I\u2019m looking to lean into that. \u2019Cause that\u2019s who Pete is. That\u2019s almost his biggest expression. It\u2019s almost bigger to him than the lyrics, the staging, and I\u2019m like, \u201cThat\u2019s awesome.\u201d I\u2019m the different version where I screw up and I laugh at myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe piano stuff was so funny on the last tour. So I would like to try and contrive something like that where I get an opportunity to just be who I am because it really frames the intensity of Pete\u2019s visions. \u2019Cause I know this is the truth, I won\u2019t see any of that for a long time.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tHe\u2019s spending so much time with fabricators and staging people, talking through all the vision stuff that I\u2019m not CC\u2019d on all those emails. It happens so fast. On the last tour I knew some of the beats, but I got there and on the first day I\u2019m like, \u201cHoly shit, there\u2019s a 40-foot dog head.\u201d I didn\u2019t really know that, and I\u2019m seeing it just like the audience. I kinda like that. So yeah, I know that I\u2019m gonna bring my gee-whiz charm. I say that so sarcastically, but whatever. But I don\u2019t know what to expect and I anticipate it to be pretty surprising for all of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did the tour name come from?<\/strong><br \/><strong>Wentz: <\/strong>Me and my kid went and watched [Rafael] Nadal[\u2018s] last match at the French Open, and he\u2019s getting just kinda destroyed by [Alexander] Zverev, this younger guy, and this French guy turns to me and he goes, \u201cTwilight of the Gods.\u201d And I was like, \u201cOh, yeah. Got it, got it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t<strong>Joe had to miss some tour dates because of issues with his hands. How\u2019s he doing?<br \/>Wentz:<\/strong> He did something recently to it again, I think, actually. I know his hand was \u2014 he had nerve damage, but he\u2019s had surgery. I think it\u2019s okay. He was able to record, and everything was all good with that, so he\u2019ll be at the shows. But I do think it\u2019s been an ongoing issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, what can you say about the state of the group?<\/strong> <br \/><strong>Wentz:<\/strong> We\u2019re in a good place in terms of, we\u2019ve allowed each other to interact as adults. We\u2019ll be at the airport and some kid\u2019ll come up to Andy and be like, \u201cI started playing drums because of you.\u201d And in my head, there\u2019s part of me that still pictures him as the guy that I met when he was 17, 16, or whatever. And I\u2019m like, \u201cWhat? Andy Hurley?\u201d And it allows you the perspective of being like, \u201cOh, yeah, we\u2019ve grown up,\u201d which is kinda cool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/fall-out-boy-patrick-stump-pete-wentz-stadium-tour-new-song-1235656627\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long live the car-crash hearts, indeed: 25 years after their formation, Fall Out Boy just dropped a single, \u201cAces,\u201d that stands with their best&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":76986,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
