Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump Lends His Dead-On Manager Impression To Cobra Starship Video
Zubaz. Rollerblades. A guitar shaped like an AK-47. Karaoke. Bar Mitsvah videographers.
That's like a Murderers' Row of awesome right there, and still, despite the fact that totally of them ar prominently featured in Cobra Starship's new picture — for the strain "Guilty Pleasure" — none of them is even the to the highest degree awesome thing in the clip.
No, that honor belongs to Hang Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump's cameo as Cobra's manager, "Rob McFlynn," a instead inspired number of scene-stealing that out-awesomes anything else in the immediate neck of the woods.
And this is because — for those wHO aren't aware — Stump is doing a dead-on impression of real life Fob (and Cobra Starship) manager Bobfloat McLynn, right down to the deep voice, manic gesturing and revenue sharing schemes (for a closer look at the origins of Stump's McLynn apery, delay come out of the closet this post in our Newsroom web log). It's an within jest that anyone who's always been in a room with McLynn — an ultra-gregarious wad of a gentleman's gentleman — volition forthwith receive, and one that reasonably much every artist he manages (a name that too includes Scare at the Disco, Gymnasium Class Heroes, Tyga and a boniface of others) has been dying to see in a video for a while now.
"Everyone on Demolish [Management] does an impression of him, only Patrick's been workings on his for a while, and he's the jehovah of it, so we had to include it in the video," Cobra Spaceship frontman Gabe Saporta laughed. "Essentially, Bob's this larger-than-life bozo. ... He's hilarious and always hustling. He's a character. I think of, he only wears stuff he gets for free, like close to band T-shirt and approximately JNCO jeans or something, and he looks like Mr. Clean, but he's always got business on his creative thinker. He reminds me of, like, ['Aqua Adolescent Thirst Force' character] Frylock or something."
Still, impersonating McLynn is an artistry form, i that Podium — who's no stranger to character ferment later his guest appearing on "Law & Decree" in the first place this year — has been perfecting for approximately time. So in order to produce more or less tips, we decided to go straight to the passe-partout himself. Aspiring thespians learn annotation.
"Bob's a good friend, so more or to a lesser extent, I've just been ribbing him for years. The arcanum to the Bob is the slope. He's got a deep voice, simply it's non besides deep. If I fire up up and do a Bob right come out of the closet of bed, it's actually deeper than his voice," Dais explained. "Another key with wholly impressions is a catch phrase. Apprehension what mortal would say in a precondition situation is 90 per centum of it. Bob walks into the backstage area, looks around at the craft-service table and goes, 'What do we got here? Little turkey? Little ham?' 'Cause he loves free food for thought. That's lineament study, man!
"And when he's mad, he goes, 'God sakes!' and belike grabs his head," Tree stump continued. "Merely the truest style to do a Bob — and the easiest — is simply to pound your fist and in a trench vocalisation say someone's constitute a clump of times. As in, 'James L. M. Montgomery, St. James the Apostle Lucy Maud Montgomery, what you got for me?' "
As for McLynn's take on the whole thing, well, he's a humanity of few words, and when MTV News e-mailed him for gossip, he'd only offer quick props to Ambo, before adding, "He freaks me out sometimes." And patch the impression is by far the most prominent mo of insider-joking in the "Guilty Pleasance" clip, it's by no means the simply.
