ABC News' Phil Lipof sat down with Fall Out Boy lead guitarist and backing vocalist Joe Trohman about his family hardships, personal battles and growth. #abcnews #joetrohman #falloutboy
I’m really glad Joe is still here and recognizing he’s gotta take time for his mental health now from FOB and the public light, it’s a super hard thing to do speaking from experience. I hope he’s feeling better soon and knows how much we all care about him
If you'd have told my 15 year old self that one day Joe would mention Arma Angelus on TV AND play Disloyal Order......I just wouldn't have believed you. Glad you're getting some attention for being a genuinely good dude, Joe
Great interview! I'm glad to see that he's wrestled some demons and won and is still in the process of building his armour. Fall Out Boy will always have a special place in my heart as this was my daughter's first concert and, over a decade later she still goes to see them when they come to town. Thanks for the great memories that you've given to our family ❤
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting FOB multiple times and Joe was ALWAYS so lovely. He was so friendly and always so genuine. I’m sad he’s struggling with his mental health but I know he will get through this. I’m cheering loudly for you!
And here we are in 2023 where Fall Out Boy is still going strong. The band and your fans miss you dearly, Joe. Wishing you more success and even better health! Can't wait to have you back again! The new album sounds amazing so far!
It gives me the biggest joy to know that disloyal order of water buffalo is the one that brings joe the joy and the shivers - its my favourite fob song and i have half doomed/semi sweet tattooed on me
I used to have a band picture autographed by all four band members. STORY TIME. I was in the US Navy, active service at the time stationed in Pearl Harbor. I was doing some work on board my ship and they came on board and toward my ship, USS Russell...2003 I believe. I wasn't even aware that they were on the island, let alone coming to base, let alone coming to MY ship, lol During their tour they came across me, dirty, filthy and I believe I was sanding the paint off of a wall, probably for no reason too, lol... and i, like I'm sure others on board the ship at the time, received an autographed black and white picture of the band. I held on to that picture for quite a number of years, it made me smile everytime. Unfortunately, I lost it in a storage shed fire in 2017 I was a big fan of the band then, The nostalgia still kicks in from time to time... I'm very glad to hear that things have been well for them, the times have been hard on everyone. I wish I still had the picture for my scrapbooks, also... Because people don't believe me when I tell them the above story, lol
Im tearing up I didn’t know Joe was struggling with mental health I hope he continues to do great because he’s raising beautiful daughters and you can see his love reflecting from his childhood. I love him so much I hope he take All the time he needs I know he misses the stage so I hope that’s soon 😅❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
joe is an unspoken inspiration to millions of kids who are now in their late 20's and early 30's and even younger gens. wonder if he ever thinks about that.
4:33 did they really cut to a picture of Dan Adriano when they mention Scott Ian or did he shave his beard for that tour/show? Solid effort ABC by adding a pic of joe and a bald guy from The Damned Things but I think that’s the wrong one. I ain’t gonna let that contaminate FOB lore
Despite heaing several of their songs on the radio, it took me a while to actually know the name of the band who made them. Looking into them now, I'm glad Joe seems like a pretty grounded guy and has been able to give proper attention to his mental health these days.
sad to hear he's now taking time off for his mental health, hope he's doing okay. fall out boy were like the first band that got me into rock music so they'll always hold a special place in my heart, even if all the music isn't great lol
FOB is one of only two bands I know that can break up, come back together, and completely burn the world down with amazing single after amazing single. The other band is the Foo Fighters.
@@kyramccormick2974 Extended hiatuses lead to speculation. So while they never officially broke up, the Greatest Hits album definitely worried some people.
Back when fobrock was a thing my username was Trohmannah I was and still am such a sucker for those luscious curls And yes I am about 2/3 through my autographed copy of his book I pre-ordered in April LOL 😆
That's not how childhoods work. You can be the richest person on Earth and still be traumatized or fucked up by a lack of something in your life. Bad things don't need a signature or a lack of money to exist
