The members of Fall Out Boy are Patrick Stump (vocals & guitar), Peter Wentz (bass), Andrew Hurley (drums) and Joseph Trohman (guitar).
It was mostly luck and maybe destiny that brought these four musicians together. Each had played for different hardcore underground bands in the Chicago area during the late 1990s. Almost concurrently the groups that Wentz, Trohman and Hurley were playing for disbanded. Wertz (previously front man for Arma Angelus) and Trohman knew each other from playing together in a previous band and in 2000 decided to do a little jamming and have some fun, they needed a drummer and invited Hurley to join in (Hurley had played for the well known band Racetraitor). [They actually hooked up in Wilmette, which is a suburb of Chicago.]
Soon afterwards, they invited Patrick Stump to add vocals to the group after meeting at a Borders book store. The group had a unique pop-punk sound which had some elements of emo mixed in. They just played for the fun of it. [Note: They did not have a name until their second gig. When the audience asked for their names, they could not reply and one of the audience members shouted out “Fall Out Boy.” The name has stuck ever since.
