This is pretty amazing, reminds of of the good ole Aerosmith / Run DMC days. The best part about 50 Cent and Fall Out Boy playing shows is going to be the diverse crowd. So often we go to shows and we look around and see the same people, this will be a chance for  diverse audience to come together and enjoy both types of music – Hip Hop and Pop/Punk. 50 Cent asked Fall Out Boy if they wanted to do some shows this month – He came up with the idea, and we were like, ‘Yeah. Totally. Yeah. Why not?,” front man Patrick Stump said.  Fall out boy has been on tour with Paul Wall, so this is not too new to them. However, 50 Cent has never toured with a rock group before. Some Fall Out Boy fans are pretty disgusted with the whole idea of it, but why? I guarantee you all those Fall Out Boy fans will walk out new 50 Cent fans.

We don’t have exact dates yet but news tells us that 50 Cents first tour date with Fall Out Boy is scheduled to be April 14 at Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO.

It’s that time of year again, time to get sweaty and tossed around in a big crowd while watching the bands you love. Yep, Warped Tour 2009 Pre-Sale tickets are available now. With the pre-sale ticket, you will get to skip everyone in line and get in the show first. Who’s playing this year? A lot of good bands like: 3OH!3, The Ataris, Underoath, and others.

In the song “Gives You Hell” by The All American Rejects, lead singer, Tyson Ritter is talking about the drastically different lifestyles that he and one of his ex-girlfriends are now living. He’s not afraid to be bitter about the whole situation. In verse one he draws contrast between his lifestyle and hers by the lyrics:

“I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you’re still probably workin’
At a 9 to 5 pace”

The pre-chorus is a little funny because it is very deceptive-one moment talking about loss and missing someone but then flat out admitting that your lying.

The chorus is Tyson’s way of saying “You had me, your loss…oh and I hope your pissed about your decision” . He’s communicating that he lives the life of a rockstar and she decided to leave and now he hopes she’s miserable about it.  In the second verse Tyson is pointing out  that material things can’t buy love. He hopes that she deeply regrets her decision to leave him and in the hook he tells her how it is:

“Now you’ll never see
What you’ve done to me
You can take back your memories
They’re no good to me
And here’s all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well”

Dream In Stereo, a band that hails from Southeast Michigan, really give their all when it comes to live shows and writing music. Their upbeat pop-punk style music is enough to make anyone want to dance. They are currently working on recording vocals for some songs that will be on their MySpace as soon they are complete. I talked to Dream In Stereo, read the interview below.

So, what’s the history of Dream in Stereo? How long have you guys officially been together, how’d you all meet?

The lineup that we have as of now has been together since June. Ryan and Anthony were in the “original” Dream In Stereo and then they dropped the old drummer and guitarist and picked up Blake and Eric. This has been the line up so far.

What’s your writing process? Is it always this way?

We all sit down and throw together our basic ideas and then leads are written, then we just practice and do touch ups. It’s not always this way though.

Do you use any FX at your live shows? If so what kind?

Nope.

What would your dream show be, if you could play with any band at any venue?

Blake- Warped Tour
Anthony- Blink-182 at the Hayloft
Eric- Warped Tour
Ryan- Senses Fail anywhere

If The Dream in Stereo could do one thing to change the world, what would it be?

Party.

Anyone got a favorite TV show or movie?

Superbad excluding Eric who likes American Beauty.

Would you like to tell any of your fans anything special that’s going on?

We’re announcing our new vocalist, recording our EP in October, playing shows for the rest of the year, and keep an eye out for us coming to your town on tour this spring.
And thank you for everyone that came out to our shows and talked with us.

The new Fall Out Boy album “Folie A Deux” comes out on November 4th, which happens to be election day. Shocker right? Given the title of this post. Patrick Stump, Vocals/Guitar, told Billboard that “it’s a political record only insofar as anyone making music and paying attention to what’s happening will make a record tinged with politics. You can’t ignore it.” While Fall Out Boy remain neutral on their Rock The Vote performances, Stump shared his feeling about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama as “the most excited I’ve been about a candidate.”
