“Patrick Stump is a musical freak…” Tim McIlrath was in a band with Pete Wentz and ’s first show…

Cause I grew up with the fallout boy guys as well. Oh, cool. I played in a band with Pete. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's cool. And rise against. First show ever was in a basement in the suburbs of Chicago, and the opening band was a band called Patterson, which would have a young Patrick Stump on the drums. Patrick Stump is a musical freak. Yes. He's so Musically talented. I don't know if he's told you this before, but the band was kind of like small brown bike, hot water music. Like, three guys with kind of gruff voices singing. Yeah. And then Patrick on the drums. And then Patrick's like, hey, what if I sing, you know? And then he would sing in there like, no, dude, we're tough guys. Singing. Yeah, you're like some soul, bluesy, soulful. Your voice is way too good to be singing. And then like, okay, I'll just go back to playing drums. It's so ironic that, like, here we were, existing with this, you know, future, insane talent.
