As of this past Wednesday, Fall Out Boy was on track to set the world record for shortest amount of time to play all of the world’s seven continents. The band and their crew made it all the way to Chile and were patiently waiting in their hotel rooms for the greenlight from organizers to proceed to the last continent on their list…Antarctica.
All FOB needed to do to get into the Guinness Book of World Records was play a gig on the continent at the end of the earth by this Thursday.
Unfortunately, the weather in unpredictable Antarctica wouldn't cooperate on Thursday. Conditions there weren't clear enough to allow for the safe arrival of the band and crew.
The band and their management made the tough decision to abort the mission.
FOB's Pete Wentz was utterly shattered by the decision to abort.
He says:
"It's an utter fucking disappointment. … It's so insane. We had this idea, and then to not be able to fulfill it is just disappointing, especially when you put it out there… It's the worst feeling I've felt in Fall Out Boy, [we were,] like, two hours away from being able to do it. … I read someone compared it to Geraldo opening Capone's vault, but it's worse than that, because, like, Capone's stuff is in there, you just can't get the light on. There's no spin for it; we got two hours away from Antarctica and we can't go."
There must be another way to get into the record books!
What should Pete and the boys do???????
