Fall Out Boy have released a new video for American Beauty/American Psycho, the title track of their forthcoming sixth album.
The record is expected on January 20, while the pop-punk giants will also play a one-off album launch show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on January 14.
You can check out the video, directed by Syndrome, below, along with Pete Wentz’s explanation of the song’s ties to Mötley Crüe.
“When I played my manager a new track we were working on with SebastiAn "American Beauty, American Psycho", he yelled out "too fast for love!" And whipped out this sweet photo of him in the 80s. He told me this kind of insane story about how if not for Nikki SIXX, we wouldn't know each other. He claims that he moved to LA to join a punk band and walked into a club called the Starwood, saw Nikki, and it completely changed his life. He saw the very first motley show soon after that and 35 years later saw them last month at madison square garden.
“from motley crue i figured it out: putting your heart in it is the most important part, they have always done what is authentic to them.
“much of the frenetic energy of ab/ap comes from the motley crue sample-
“Too fast for love was motleys tttyg-they made it themselves because no one was interested in signing a punk band wearing too much make up back then. Thirty five years later, they're still selling out arenas and not playing by anyone's rules. If there had been the Internet back then, they would've broken it.”
