Was just reading a Rolling Stone interview (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/qa/story/13422584/pete_wentz_qa_and_exclusive_audio) with the bassist for the band Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz, and caught this...

Rolling Stone: What do you collect?

Pete Wentz: I love Transformers.

A Google search also provided a Blender article (http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=1927) with this:

"Wentz still lives in his parents’ sprawling house, with Transformers littering the floor and Cure posters lining the walls."

Now, I'm no big fan of Fall Out Boy, but it's nonetheless quite interesting to find out when a celebrity shares the same hobby.

Good, even more people (cool, connected people) to help push the popularity!

DJ Starscream of Slipknot is a collector as well.

Yeah, well Fall Out Boy still bites.

He also has Autobot and Decepticon tatoos on his hands.

Hopefully, this doesn't become more widely known- people may look down on Transfans as a result.

We're not all like that, folks.

I assume you're referring to the Slipknot guy. And I hardly think that he's a shining beacon of what a normal human being is.

I never would have suspected. Damn, the things I don't know..........

Actually, he's an incredibly nice fellow. I watched him buy a jacket off a homeless man for $50(or something like that, I can't remember how much off the top of my head) and then proceed to give him his own old jacket on top of it.

That's one cool dude in my book. I like Slipknot personally. I don't know the other band, but guys that rock and love transformers are my kind of freaks. :twisted:

Wasn't that Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins?!?!? :wink:

Seriously though, I know nothing about Slipknot, except what little I see of them and hear of their music. They may be fantastic people in real life, but they sure look psychotic.

It is amazing, I hate both Slipknot and Fallout Boy, yet they both have TF fans in their groups.

Oh well crappy music outweighs any possible connection.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'm not one to be biased against any form of music. I like some of their songs and don't much care for the others. I've met Cory Hart (did I say the name right?) from Slipnot, the lead singer I beleave. He was a pretty cool guy and would randomly bring others into the conversation. They all seemed like cool guys to talk to, just they dressed alittle out side of the "norm"

Can't says I've had the chance to talk to any of the fellas from fall out boy, but I'm sure I could "dance dance" up to them for an interview about TFs next time they are in Toronto.
