Trivia
- While Stump is the lead singer, Wentz tends to take on the traditional role of "frontman" by being the band's chief spokesman and creating the banter on stage. Stump is quoted as saying "With Pete, I get to be the anti-frontman."
- While Wentz is the chief lyricist for the band, Stump is its "musical engine (hence the engineer's cap)", putting Wentz's lyrics to music and arranging the tunes.
