What's all the hate for Pete Wentz?

Mikey Way must be pretty good to have a nougatty candy bar named after him. And, isn't Fallout Boy on the Simpson's? I'm confused because I thought I heard him playing the Munsters theme song too.
Pete Wentz reminds me of an "alternative" version of Nikki Sixx (songwriter/average bass player)
Robert Trujillo is much better. Ever heard of Suicidal Tendencies?

If he changed his name to Wete Pentz, would everyone then love him?
I have to say I have no idea who he is other than he has a sig bass with no tone knob....I pay alot of attention to music that speaks to me.
That being said ..these points ring to me.
The fact that I could not tell a fall out boys song from anything else on the radio.
That they have boys in their band name.
And that his bass has no tone says alot to me.

I said I HEARD on one website that Robert Trujillo isn't very good I've never actually heard him before. That for the most part is not enough credible information. As for Pete Wentz... I never said he was bad nor good. I just asked what you guys think of him.
I never said he was a good nor bad bassist. I was just asking what you think of him. As for Trujillo I can't say much about him other than some websites and friends of mine said he's not very good compared to cliff burton. I don't really listen to metal so I can't really say much else other than that.
Rob Trujillo is a monster player with a resume to back it up. I saw the police in '07 and Sting played great and could still sing great as well. Pete Wentz does a fine job in fallout boy. Next question please!
the real loser in this whole thread?
Sid Vicious.
No one's got that dude's back.
The OP coulda said "my chair is a better bassist than Sid" and everybody would have been all "yeah, I haven't heard a chair play bass, but I bet it is better than Sid".

Lota of people like the fall out boys .

I don't understand it but it happens.

Cliff Burton has the halo of martyrdom so it's verboten to suggest that any other metal bassist could ever measure up to him. Trujillo is a slapper, at least what I've seen of him (which is not a lot), and I can imagine someone getting uptight about not having slap in metal or whatever. But objectively speaking, there's no questioning his abilities.
I find it interesting that you are asking why people have bad opinions on a working bass player that you like while in the same breath you put down another working bassist that you know nothing about...(own words).
I can't decide if this is the lamest thread of the year so far or not, oh eff it yup!!!!
That's usually only placed in the context of old Metallica vs new Metallica and in reality has no bearing on Trujillos abilities. He is capable of much more than the fat check he settled for by joining new Metallica and in all honesty, could pull off Cliffs licks and more, while doing a spider dance with dual pony tails.
Pete Wentz cannot play bass. Period. He's a scenster who put himself in the right place at the right time. Rockstar? yes, musician? no.
Robert Trujillo is a fine bassist. You disagree? Ozzy and Metallica fans disagree with you.
Sid Vicious? Another scenster, not musician. I'm not quite so sure he recorded anything on bass.

Didn't know Frank had solo stuff. I'll have to check that out. Danger Days is by far my favourite MCR album, I know the album front to back too, Mikey's best playing IMO too.
Everytime I see hi-res pictures of the Mikey Way Mustang it makes me want to order one off eBay. That silver flake is beautiful.
