In addition to serve as the resident arm-attachment for lip-syncher Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz is also the lead bassist for emo group Fall Out Boy. Well, the band managed to secure an embarrassing ZERO nominations for the 2008 Grammy Awards-and Pete isn’t happy about it. The musician has written a bitter blog on the band’s official website bitching about the snub. Pull out your violins and Kleenex for poor widdle Petey after the jump.

Pete blogs:

“got bitterness? vs. a revelation on true connection (and the award goes to).
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. the truth be told though when you explore it further than that you realize much more. other than the fact that 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. its kind of like being invited to a birthday party and then not allowed to eat the cake.)- it shouldnt mean much. (almost) noone in this industry has vision beyond the fear that this week is their last paycheck. we want our songs to be immortal and a statue doesnt do anything to help them live forever. it is the people that live and die with them in their ears and throats that give them life. we wont lie to you, accolades from our peers feel great. however, a fifty year old white man shouldnt decide whether we are relevant or not- and he doesn’t. we wanted to thank you for making us feel relevant- for sitting up all night to get into our shows and for buying our music. it means more in the wake of moments like this. we know who we are based on those who would walk through hell with us. this is not a disappointment, rather a revelation on what is truly important. thanks.”
