Fall Out Boy members make fun of their own band on comedy metal album
Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump is clearly not opposed to some self-deprecating humour with his latest collaboration on comedian Brian Posehn‘s comedy metal album.
Alongside FOB guitarist Joe Trohman and Dethklok mastermind Brendon Small, Stump points his lyrics back at his own band with the track “New Music Sucks.”

Posehn’s record Grandpa Metal sees even more guests on the record, including Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor as well as members of Steel Panther, Anthrax, Amon Amarth, Slayer, Soundgarden, Weird Al Yankovic and even more.
On Stump’s track, he jokingly takes a stab at modern pop artists with his words and closes it off with a diss on Fall Out Boy.
He swings away at a list of musicians, singing “Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Drake and even Macklemore, One Direction and mother fucking Fall Out Boy”.
You can listen to “New Music Sucks” in the player below.
