I was 5 when from under the cork tree came out, I remember listening to it in my mom’s car around that time. Two years later, she passed away. It’s not my favorite fob album but it always makes me think of my mom and it’ll always be special because of that. Also because it’s just a really great album but yea. Best band
This is so sweet. I am so glad you have those meteorites, and that album to remind you of her. I feel the same whenever I hear Fleetwood Mac, especially “Gypsy” or “Rhiannon”. I can close my eyes and see me laying on the floor of her bedroom watching her put her make-up on and sing along to Stevie (I may be a tad older than you seeing as my childhood memories have record players and teased hair in them!). But reading your comment, I had to say something back to you to let you know that 1) you’re not alone. I miss my mom every day and music does help to feel like she is still here with me. And 2) you made me realize that someday my kids are going to be out and about, just living they’re day to day lives and they’ll hear a Fall Out Boy song-and it’ll be like time is standing still for a few minutes. All these memories will come back of them listening to it FOB with me, and that makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Thank you for your beautiful comment.
As a long time fan of Fall Out Boy who also knows very little about their past (somehow), this is a series I never knew I needed! Thank you for all of your great videos, Cozy.
Fun story... my band back in the day played with fob at a vfw in Chicago around this time. They asked us to support them on there first tour and we turned them down like a bunch of God damn idiots! One of many regrets from the era.
From under the cork tree was a cultural event we won’t see again. I went back to take this to your grave after getting cork tree and it’ll stay my favourite album of all time.
In all honesty, this album is one of the best things to happen to Emo music. It is amazing in every single way: melodically, lyrically, in terms of general songwriting… Love it extremely. Thank you for this video!
My entire family hails from Chicago, but I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I grew up sponging off the chaos of the blogs at the time and living vicariously through flip phone videos of shows I’d never be able to see live. Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen totally consumed my life! Fast forward to like ‘08-‘09 I visited Chicago for a family wedding, went to a local record store and found a copy of Evening out With Your Girlfriend still in its packaging and was so confused! I had never known of its existence. A second disc with promotional singles from other local bands (some defunct) all signed to Uprising. I noted the 2005 time stamp and was super confused because they were damn near international at that point. I just found it while I was cleaning my room yesterday! Very much looking forward to part 2.
i can't tell you how much i appreciate you consistently making these super in-depth, obviously time-consuming videos on scene culture and music :) thanks so much
Pete Wentz: I don't want to play dark, serious music anymore. I'm going to start a pop punk band. Tim McIlrath: I don't want to play dark, serious music anymore. I'm going to start a hardcore punk band that plays even darker, more serious, anarchist music.
i used to cry listening to fall out boy wishing they would get back together and when they did i bought tickets to their first show in my area with 21pilots and panic they were nothing compared to fall out boy i still love them so much im so happy u made this video and hope u keep uploading as many parts as u can milk from their amazing story
FOB were my first favorite band I ever had. First stop on the discovery to personal music taste. My friend and I used to sit around and watch deepcut fob videos and Google them literally all day, lol we were 13. You never forget your first love, and fob is absolutely my first. Great video as always dude, never miss one ✌🏼
Just want to say your commitment to your craft and preserving history is second to none man. Definitely my favorite video essayist due to the sheer passion you have for this beautiful thing. Would love to see a continuation of this series, whenever you feel up for it I’ll be so excited to watch. Hope you’re taking care of yourself dude all the best! Keep killing it
Long time viewer, I’m a huge fan of these scene “documentaries,” for the lack of a better word, especially from someone that was there. I hope this series keeps going with FOB, both because it’s super interesting and I love Fall Out Boy (they’re my all-time favorite band, too). But I was wondering, Cozy, were you ever a fan of The Devil Wears Prada back in the day? Their second album, Plagues, turned 15 the other day, and I’d love to hear an oral history of that album, especially to celebrate the anniversary. Anyway, keep up the good work, love the videos! You’re the GOAT for keeping the scene alive.
There's a pretty long podcast(unstoppable recording machine/ urm podcast) that patrick was on where he talks about his origins as a musician and there's a bit of fob stuff in there for anyone interested.
11:20 are you telling me x[name]x and it’s variants that’s now associated with scene and emo came from straight edge?? That’s hilarious, I never knew that!! 19:25 idk there’s just something so charming, endearing and earnest about music that sounds like this. Is it unpolished? Hella. Is it the biggest best sound the band will ever make? No. But it’s raw and honest and has a special place in my heart 💖
I’m glad you mentioned the Saves The Day stuff and also The Get Up Kids As an adult, going back and listening to everything from my childhood again I notice how much TTTYG sounds like a mix of Through Being Cool and Four Minute Mile
Am i the only one who noticed that nobody ever suspects that your favourite band is fall out boy? Everyone always acts so shocked when you tell them that.
@@Rex-golf_player810 kind of i guess. But im speaking from my experience too. Like every time i tell someone that fob is my favourite band theyre like "what??? But you barely talk about them!"
Jesse BFT here. Love fall out boy so much. Take this to your grave changed my life in the same way under the cork tree did for you. Thank you so much for this, I knew bits of this but love this deep dive.
Just for your FOB fans, we all were so changed by corktree :) my shoulder has a mashup of lyrics ‘I found the cure for growing older and my conscience had called in sick again’ with the corktree silhouette, one of my fav tatoos
Same, futct was the first album I got ever bought when I was like 8or9. Favorite band ever (up to FaD). They have an influence on everything I’ve ever done, EVERYTHING. To this day I still listen to at least 1 fob song a day
Lol when I was a little kid my mom always listened to r&b and rap so I only liked rap for most of my childhood. Then comes fall out boy, I saw them on mtv when dance dance came out and it was the first time I actually liked "rock" sounding music. I became obsessed lol, going back through every song, video, album I could find. It's cringe how crazy I got about it lmao. I remember my msn messenger names always having xFobx or some dorky stuff like that xD That eventually led to stuff like under oath.. then to heavier stuff.. to now where I listen to everything from tech death and prog to old fall out boy and taking back Sunday. And I've been playing guitar for years now. Needless to say they changed a lot for me
It's HERE! Finally! I'll update again as I go along. Thank you SO SO much! **heavy spoilers ahead** 1: Yes, Racetraitor is very good. Please check them out. Saw them in Pittsburgh in 2018 and met Mani, the vocalist. Amazing dude, we used to occasionally talk politics years ago on Facebook lol. 2: the interview when Patrick was just a little guy!! Still wears the same type of glasses too. 3: 3:50 🤝😤 Respect. My coworkers even put on Fall Out Boy in the kitchen when I'm stressed so I calm down a little 💀 4: Didn't know about the Adam D link there! Very cool! He also produced August Burns Red's first album! 5: The Borders story! 6: This is FOB Drunk History but sober (unless you're high or sum idk I am) and I am here for it. Instead of Brendon Urie's "YEAHAYEAHAEAH" we get facts about his "soul voice" and it's similarity to the vocalist of Saves the Day. Didn't Pete once say they wouldn't have been a band without Through Being Cool? Am I getting ahead of myself and you're about to mention it? Find out next episode! 7: 13:33 I remember reading this and they even provided potential alternative album covers they were thinking about at the time! Like, they're in the article iirc! 7: Tim McIlrath the whole sorting hat out here I guess. It's so cool to see how many different faces are in this story and where they've all ended up over 20 years later 8: I somehow missed the news of the original tape demo finally reaching the internet until recently. Like, a month ago recently. Imagine my very real surprise when I discovered A Nice Myth was recycled to make Short, Fast, and Loud. 9: Chris, baby! :) I love going back and watching all the old deadxstop show videos! 10: You dirty, dirty dog! Thank you for covering this in such excruciatingly specific detail. The internet is a wonderful thing. I'll be waiting, and judging (10/10, always!!)
Best album of all time! Take this to your grave was this burned CD my brother came home from school with in the early 00’s. I remember going to FYE to scrap together my Christmas money to buy from under the cork tree.
so sick seeing some of these photos. Love seeing Chris in the background of some of them. Insane hearing the beginning of uprising, I had no idea. would love to hear from Mike or TJ.. who on earth are those guys??
TTTYG might be my favorite album of all time, and I listen to ALL genres of music. It’s really soooo good and fresh sounding, even still. They really dialed in to something special for that one.
Remember winds of plague? I'll never forget. They go harder than anyone you've covered. Not a bad song from the decimate the weak album aswell. I think that's what it was.
@@webinfront it’s kinda complicated but basically he would tell people he was “gay above the waist”. in songs like sugar and tftm he’d refer to the love interest with he/him pronouns for example when writing. but to properly answer your question he never explicitly identified as bisexual but you could call him “bi” to simplify it. today we have a better understanding of sexuality and how we experience romantic vs sexual attraction, so that’s why it’s tricky to talk about.
Fall Out Boy lost me after Infinity On High in 2007. If I'm being honest, I even enjoyed some of Folie à Deux. I just didn't like the direction they turned to and the road they continued down since. The 90's and early 2000's sound is the vibe and energy I want out of my Pop Punk. Cork Tree album, that record absolutely changed shit forever for me also. It's always been a "no skips" listen for me since 2005.
Doesn't anyone find it funny how they said it doesn't have to be a glitzy glamy thing to be good it can be honest and still good i find it funny because it really wasn't long after fame that thry became that big glitz thing that is what they are a pop band not punk a straight jay z type pop music i don't blame them for that i just dont like it when bands go against there morality are they simply saying things they never truly believed even worse they may not even understood what they were saying 😮
"It's the summer of 2001. Joe meets Patrick and he goes 'yo, I know about music.' And Patrick goes 'yo, I know MORE about music.' 'That's impossible. Do you want to start a band?' And Patrick goes '(shaking head and mouthing no)... yeah that's cool.'"
"And Brendon Urie had nothing to do with the record" oh wait, wrong album
2:31 something interesting about them making a pop punk band which is kinda mentioned later is how they spoke about hardcore scenes being misogynistic so, even though it was a joke it was a genuine reason as to why they wanted to try pop punk. anyways as a woman i brag about this
the studio fall out boy recorded pieces of take this to your grave was called Smart studios. it was closed in 2010.
I was 5 when from under the cork tree came out, I remember listening to it in my mom’s car around that time. Two years later, she passed away.

From under the cork tree was a cultural event we won’t see again. I went back to take this to your grave after getting cork tree and it’ll stay my favourite album of all time.
My high school senior English teacher was a Guitarist in Arma Angelus and kept it a secret until the last day.
In all honesty, this album is one of the best things to happen to Emo music. It is amazing in every single way: melodically, lyrically, in terms of general songwriting… Love it extremely. Thank you for this video!
My entire family hails from Chicago, but I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I grew up sponging off the chaos of the blogs at the time and living vicariously through flip phone videos of shows I’d never be able to see live.

me too, but im in my 30s so i deserve it lol
.....And still listen to [album] pretty regularly in my mid-30's.

Good stuff as always!
Also, that cassette demo happens to be uploaded on my channel for those curious.
"Hey, Chris, you were our only friend
And I know this is belated, we love you back"
"Living like life's going out of style"

i hope you know you’re doing the lords work on this channel
Goddamn right
I love this album sooo much ugh. So excited to watch
Evening Out is arguably still my favorite, alongside Pax Am Days. Downloaded it way back in 05ish on Morpheus 🙃 ... The band at it's most punk 👍🏽
I love this. Can't wait for Part 2.
New series hell yeah!! I love fob and I love your videos :)
Remember winds of plague? I'll never forget. They go harder than anyone you've covered. Not a bad song from the decimate the weak album aswell. I think that's what it was.

As a progressive nümetalcore bassist, FOB is still in my top-5.
🖤😆🖤
Super ready for this
I am so ready
hi new in your channel here, love the FOB content is also my favorite band since 2006
Remember when Pete wanted to do every show different?? 20 years later we have 2-3 tours with the same setlist 🥲
The band sold out.
Bro LMAO as soon as you busted out in to song I had to subscribe lol great stuff
Good to see you! You should be a professional journalist
0:00 Is that Howard from Blood Has Been Shed/Killswitch Engage?
aye very good work as always
Their first show was with Examination Of The…, one of the best screamo bands of all time
Pete being "kinda emotional about girls and stuff" and boys :P
Is he bi?

I remember a sing from this album in the first saints row in 2006
BROOO You're the best!
Best album
This the best FOB album. Maybe their only album in my mind and heart.
This is my favorite fob album and I hate that they just pretend it doesn't exist
They played like 3 songs from it at their latest concert !
love this
Would you ever consider covering Foley a dux by Fall out boy I really like to know more about that era
Mines always been fall out boy too 🥹
Adam D always has the funniest shit to say. l.m.a.o. Ya gotta check out the compilation of all his one liners. XD

Pete Wentz was so cute back then
"Playing to 20 heterosexual man every night", why did you said this as if it's something terrible?
Doesn't anyone find it funny how they said it doesn't have to be a glitzy glamy thing to be good it can be honest and still good i find it funny because it really wasn't long after fame that thry became that big glitz thing that is what they are a pop band not punk a straight jay z type pop music i don't blame them for that i just dont like it when bands go against there morality are they simply saying things they never truly believed even worse they may not even understood what they were saying 😮
