As Fall Out Boy, Weezer, and Green Day are getting ready to embark on their 2020 joint Hella Mega global stadium tour together, the trio of frontmen, Pete Wentz, Rivers Cuomo and Billie Joe Armstrong, sat down for an interview with Billboard.
Pulling questions out of a fish bowl, the rock icons are first prompted to remember how they first met each other. Armstrong tells Billboard that he first met Wentz at the MTV Music Awards in 2004, while Cuomo notes that they met at a show in Florida in 2014.
“We showed up, and we in Weezer realized we were opening for you and Fall Out Boy and we were like, ‘Wow, alright,’” he says, as the three burst out laughing. “So, it was like okay, we need a new manager!”
The guys also chatted about meeting one another for the very first time, how the music making process has changed over the years, and that time Wentz and Cuomo appeared in their underwear in a commercial with Taylor Swift.
