Pete Wentz Tells AbsolutePunk New MTV Show 'Is Going to Blow Everyone's Mind'

In a new interview with AbsolutePunk, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz discussed everything from bringing music back to MTV to waiting around for Snoop Dogg to show up at his house.



As Fall Out Boy fans are well aware, Wentz's new show, "F'N MTV," debuts Friday at 8 p.m. The show will showcase unreleased videos, performances from featured bands and more to coax the audience to get involved. The first episode will also include a performance from Panic at the Disco,

"We had an idea for a show to be on a music network that would play only videos ... and had the idea to be on MTV, as the name is 'Music Television,' " Wentz wryly told AP.

According to Wentz, "[It] is going to probably blow everyone's mind. I can't even explain what people should expect." Other artists slated for video premieres on "F’'N MTV" include blink-182, The Cure, The Replacements and Michael Jackson. Judging from Wentz's description, we can expect to see some footage of well-known artists in very rare form, indeed: Think Snoop and Willie Nelson collaborating on a country music video, for one.

To those skeptical of a good music show airing on MTV, Wentz challenged, "I feel like a lot of times people complain because sandpaper is too rough, you know? I don't think that this show is going to revolutionize the world. It's not going to change music. It doesn't show that Pete Wentz is the hero of the MTV generation or anything like that. All I wanted to see is some more videos get played on MTV." With a 52-minute slot on Friday evenings and limited commercial breaks, it seems like Wentz might just get his wish.

As to whether or not he sees himself venturing further into television and movies, Wentz explained, "I think that I'm pretty content with what I do. I realize that I waited around for Snoop Dogg to show up at my house yesterday, and I realize that being on the other end of things isn't [always] the greatest or the easiest."

I'm so excited for this show. finally, something to balance out the overdoses of tila tequila and rock of love trash that has been all over mtv these days.

I am not ashamed to say I'm going to be recording this.

I hope some of the other FBR guys will be featured on the show as well; don't let Peter have all the fun!
