FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

[high_on_himself]

When I read the old falloutboy community on LJ, I saw pics of when Pete was in the hospital and he didn't go on to do the Europe tour.

That's where I also found out that TJ from Spitalfield took over bass duties.

Never thought to look for a video though.

Youtube, you rule.

Could you share a link to the old community? Or the pics? Thank you.

Surely :)

The comm is falloutboylove. It's now overrun by people who want to sell their old FOB merch (even Jeanae posted here so she'd have more hits on ebay), so I don't go there often anymore.

The archives are great for old pics or tidbits about certain shows though. Here's the link to the post where Tj from Spitalfield took over for Pete on bass:

(Go to the last comment posted and you'll see that Patrick did the talking onstage and Joe was quiet)

Pete posted there too, when he still had his LJ. http://community.livejournal.com/falloutboylove/573411.html

Bonus for you:
I see you like Panic. If you search hard enough, you can see the exact day that Pete IMed Ryan in 2004 so he can hear their songs. Ryan is ex_i_amclandestine. I'm off to work so I don't have enough time to look for it again (I'll try later, though)

Thank you very much for the links! It's weird reading a younger, less guarded version of Pete. He such a chameleon.

I'd like to think of it as Pete growing up. He has so many sides to him and we're fascinated by each one.

Here are some more links I've read:

This is an ljseek of Ryan's old LJ before he deleted it. The ones after 2006 aren't his entries.

And here's a pretty good FBR/band primer:

If you scroll down, you'll see the IM conversation between Pete and Ryan, which led to them being signed to Decaydance.

Sorry, I still can't find that post where Pete told Ryan that he liked Panic's songs, which led to the conversation up there and their subsequent record deal. Maybe later :)
