Fall Out Boy Wants In On Grammy Club

(andPOP) - Fall Out Boy may be one of the most successful pop rock groups in the current scene but they won’t be joining the rest of music’s finest come Grammy night. And they aren’t happy about it.

The group topped the charts with their album Infinity on High but record sales don’t seem to matter to members of the Recording Academy. The boys are calling it the ultimate snub.

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz has made the group’s reaction to the snub very public by posting on their blog just hours after learning they weren’t given a single nomination.

"The first reaction is jealousy mixed with a slight sense of entitlement. We just want to be a part of your club. We feel like the Orphans in the movie 'The Warriors,' when we are just dying to be the Baseball Furies," Wentz wrote MTV News reports. "We play the events for you and the right parties all the time (which is a bit embarrassing either for you or us, not sure which, possibly both. It's kind of like being invited to a birthday party and then not allowed to eat the cake)."

Critics and fans alike took Wentz’s rant with mixed receptions. Some say the face of Fall Out Boy should suck it up stop whining, while others side with the rocker and think the group deserves recognition.

"People are reading [what I wrote] and they're saying, 'Oh, you're Kanye, you're bitter.' And I totally admit that," Wentz told MTV News.

He went on to say that the Academy gives awards to the same group of artists every year. This year’s group includes Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Fergie, The Foo Fighters and Amy Winehouse.

Fall Out Boy thinks they should be among the above names and Wentz doesn’t seem to be backing down from venting his frustrations.

“And if people wanted to shut us up, they should've just given us that f---ing Grammy nomination," he told MTV News.
