"facebook dialogPinterest\n\nAt the end of last year, I asked you to come up with some questions for Fall Out Boy, who released their new album Folie a Deux on December 16th. You all did good. I sent on a mess of questions to the band and just heard back from both Andy Hurley and Patrick Stump. Here are Patrick and Andy's responses to some of your queries. (And hopefully we'll get some additional answers from new papa Pete and Joe Trohman to post soon too.)\n\nVmike asks: What do you guys ask for on your tour rider?\n\nAndy: Chips, water, soy protein powder, chocolate and vanilla silk, and pb&amp;amp;j sammies.\n\nPatrick: All I want is water-not on ice. Just plain old water haha.\n\nsofig92 asks: How do you guys think your sound have changed since IOH?\n\nPatrick: We sound more focused than IOH. I think the last album was a little scattered. This one feels much better at staying on point.\n\nAndy: I think its just evolved more from some threads we started on that record, but at the same time captured a spirit and feeling we haven't had, in my opinion, since TTTYG.\n\nFlamenco asks: How has the presidential election of 2008 influenced Folie A Deux in terms of perhaps incorporating more social commentary within the lyrics?\n\nAndy: I think everything going on in this world influences everything we do in every aspect of our lives. There are some lyrics that are very political, but overall the lyrics, as far as I understand them, have a lot of different ways to interpret them: Social, personal, political. They are from different perspectives this time, so not Pete's. But this is better for him to answer.\n\nPatrick: I think we've always been very subtle with our social commentary but it's always been there. I don't think any lyric of ours has ever been intended to be taken at face value. This election was a very heavy period for America and for selfishness and so that's what we wrote about. As always though, I'm sure people will just mistake it for being about girls or being famous.**\n\n**"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
