Fall Out Boy greatest hits to come with bonus hair

By | Published on Wednesday 14 October 2009

Huh, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz said that when he allowed Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus to shave off his hair on stage recently that it was “the death of emo”. Turns out is was more a way of making some money out of emo.

The band have announced that the first 400 copies of the platinum and diamond editions of their new greatest hits compilation, ‘Believers Never Die’, pre-ordered through the band’s fanclub at a cost of just $129, will come with a lock of Wentz’s hair.

It doesn’t really sound like you’re going to get a lot of hair for your money, though. That’s quite a lot of CDs to attach hair to. Still, you get other stuff too. The diamond edition comes with a rubber wristband, a one year fan club membership or renewal, a limited-edition poster, a t-shirt and a 7″ record, while the platinum edition has all that and a commemorative plaque. Though I cannot think of any situation where that would be something worth having.
