Fall out boy does Michael Jackson cover in Concert
Lead singer says he was obsessed with Michael Jackson, video included
andPOP: The pop-punk label gets thrown around a lot. Is it something Fall Out Boy embraces or something you'd rather distance yourself from?
Patrick: We're a pop punk band and [it's fine] if people choose to call us that, if that's the quickest way to determine who we are or whatever. Because of that, we're a punk band but we have a lot of pop influences. I wanted to combine that in as many different ways as I could. There's a lot of fertile ground in music I think. I looked at bands like Talking Heads or Blondie or The Ramones. You look at that era of punk rock and they were all making pop punk. Blondie was playing disco and that was the most punk rock thing they could have done back then so those were my heroes on this record. I was really obsessed with Michael Jackson.
andPOP: And you've been playing Beat It on tour.
Patrick: That's honestly like my favourite part of the tour. We were playing the riff in sound check and there's just something so awesome about it.
