This one is a treat for old school FOB fans, and gives you a chance to see how they do things in a raw, no-frills setting! A few things to note:

  • Patrick Stump’s vocals are as powerful and unique as you’d expect
  • The guitars (from Patrick and Joe Trohman) have some really interesting details to the arrangement, and Pete Wentz’ basslines compliment nicely
  • Andy Hurley’s drumming is absolutely locked-in, which is key to making arrangements like this work with so many layers and staccato rhythms that will sound terrible if they’re not locked-in this tightly

In world where everybody is looking for unique drum sounds in their plugins or digital signal chain (and there’s nothing wrong with that), this is a good reminder that sometimes it’s a good idea to turn off the computer and think about how you can create unique drum sounds at the source by working with drum room and how you capture it.
