19 Reasons To Watch The Youngblood Chronicles (Even If You Don't Like Fall Out Boy)

You are what you love, not who loves you.

1. The Story

altpress.com

Fall Out Boy embarks on an adventure to save rock and roll. The video-film starts with a flashback video with lack of explanation. If this were a movie you'd be all, "WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

2. 2 Chainz

This might not be a plus for some, but he's hilarious. A little known fact is that he produced My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark . Plus, he's a maniacal hip-hop fire wielding mad man, and who doesn't love that!?

3. Patrick Stump's Acting

The lead singer of Fall Out Boy's got some chops! As an acting BFA student myself I can appreciate the effort he put in. He's got a great arc and really, its fun to watch. OSCAR OSCAR OSCAR!

4. Laughable Pete Wentz Moments

There has to be a but of the joke, and in this case it's Pete Wentz, from scaring pageant children to releasing a Phoenix into the air. Pete's acting's not as smooth or as believable as Stump's, but you can get a good chuckle out of it. #emoisover

5. Badass Evil Children

There's a group of rag tag kids working for the enemy here, and they are terrifying. They chase FOB all over the place, and ultimately are bested by none other than....

6. Big Sean

Dude shows up for one verse in the Mighty Fall installment of the Youngblood Chronicles, but makes his first appearance as a cryptic looker on in Where Did The Party Go. A fun cameo.

7. Courtney Love

Love appears in this video-film as evil incarnate. Head of a vigilante group that seems to be destroying music, her opus occurs in Rat a Tat Tat. And man is she a badass.

8. Tommy Lee (of Motley Crue) Plays The Devil

Now, as actual evil incarnate, we find Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. He's a badass Anti-Christ who feeds his subjects drugs, alcohol and women as penance. Huh. If hell was like this, maybe we'd like to go there. You can catch him in Death Valley
