"Uptown Funk" Cover by Fall Out Boy

For this post, I’m going to share Fall Out Boy’s cover of “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars. I’ve been a Fall Out Boy fan for a long time now and I have to say they are one of my favorite bands. They’ve influenced me so much in my musical journey. When I first started playing guitar and started singing, I would learn their songs and I listen to vocalist Patrick Stump’s voice. They are all talented musicians and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting them a couple of times through out the past couple of years. Plus, they’re from Wilmette, Illinois, which isn’t too far from Chicago. I learned how to sing, play guitar, play drums, and play bass because of them. I’ve seen them live many times over the past couple of years and I have to say that they always perform with so much energy and so much passion. 

When I was in a band with some of my best friends, I would imitate Patrick Stump’s vocals and his stage presence. I even had a guitar that was similar to his. I wanted to be Patrick because he’s so talented and such a humble guy. He’ll forever be one my of idols and one of my heroes. He influenced me so much as a musician. His vocals in this cover are just amazing. He can sing anything. If you get the chance, watch this youtube video of him singing a Michael Jackson medley. I promise you will not be disappointed: http://youtu.be/NYk1HZeA7SM
