He is the bassist and primary lyricist for the Chicago-based band Fall Out Boy. Pete grew up in the Chicago punk rock scene, and was in several bands before Fall Out Boy, including Firstborn, Arma Angelus, 7 Angels of the Apocalypse / Culture of Violence, Extinction, Forever Ended Today, and Yellow Road Priest.He grew up with band member, Joe Trohman. Fall Out Boy is the fourth band that Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley have done together. Wentz also follows the straight edge lifestyle. Wentz has written a book entitled The Boy With the Thorn In His Side, which is a story based on nightmares he hadMore as a child. It is named after a song by The Smiths. He has another book titled "Rainy Day Kids", which was scheduled to be released February 14th, 2006, but has been postponed because he was unsatisfied with some of the material.In addition, Wentz is currently writing another book, alternating chapters with William Beckett of The Academy Is....





Wentz has a company called Clandestine Industries, which distributes books and, more notably, clothing, among other things. Additionally, he owns his own imprint of Fueled By Ramen, Decaydance Records, which has signed several bands, including: Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is..., October Fall, Gym Heroes, The Hush Sound and Lifetime. He also has a film production company called Bartskull Films, which has released the DVD "Release the Bats", a film about Peter, his friends both in and outside of Fall Out Boy, and many Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen bands.





In February 2005, in what appeared to be a suicide attempt, Wentz took an overdose of the anxiety medication Ativan, and as a result, spent a week in the hospital. Commenting on the event to Rolling Stone, he said "I was isolating myself further and further, and the more I isolated myself, the more isolated I'd feel. I wasn't sleeping. I just wanted my head to shut off, like, I just wanted to completely stop thinking about anything at all."

    pete wentz isssss most likelyy... my favorite celebrity guy ever. that includes past and future lol. he is absolutely TO DIE FOR, the musical talent plus his whole look and personality are just one huge unignorable turn-on. his eyeliner is sexy, his hair is hot, and his tattoos are tantalizing. some may say it's only because he's the bassist of my favorite band, but if i saw pete walking down the street as an average joe i'd think he was fine anyway. i might never forgive ashlee simpson for marrying him, 'cause NOBODY gets married to pete wentz, but thats a whole different story... she should have known the female population would have it in for her :)

    Pete is inspiring.. hide show

    Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz the Third (goshh I love saying his full name) plays bass and writes the lyrics for the band Fall Out Boy. He writes great inspiring lyrics. Like, "And when it all goes to hell will you be able to tell me, sorry with a straight face?" "Sitting out dances on the wall, trying to forget everything that isn't you..." "I still know a way to make your make up run...".... His lyrics inspire me.. I'm not just another teenage girl that thinks he's "hot", but you have to admit, he's pretty darn attractive. I know a lot of people who think Pete's a media wh*re, but I don't agree. He's the frontman for FOB in the first place, Patrick's too shy. :] Pete is currently expecting his first child with his wife Ashlee Simpson. I heard it's going to be a boy. Yay mini Pete. :P Anyway, Pete's a talented bassist, lyricist, and person. :]

    Everybody knows him hide show

    I really like Pete Wentz. As a bisexual guy, I find him extreamly attractive. i dont care what people say about him, but he is damn hott. I love how he wears eyeliner and stuff. He can really work the eyeliner. Not many people can do that. Even though he isent the lead in Fall out boy, he gets more attention than anyone else in the band. i guess that's because he's always on the hollywood party circuit. I'm still wondering where his instant fame came from. But whatever, it's pretty cool anyway. When i think punk, Pete's face always comes to mind
