Iconic rock stars from the early 2000s looked unrecognisable as they appeared on Australian television on Thursday.
The two musicians rose to fame as part of a popular four-piece American rock band.
During an appearance on Channel Ten’s The Project, the band members spoke about being the pin-up boys of the ’emo revolution’.
‘We existed during a time when there weren’t proper boy bands. So we became the default boy band on TRL,’ the band’s bassist told the panel.
‘We would show up and everybody was kind of like, “Well, they look kind of weird. They’re dressed a little odd…” It’s cool in that way.’

So can you guess who these rock stars are?
It’s Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy.
Pete, now 44, sported a very different hair style from his emo days — where his dark hair was mostly swept to one side.
He now has much lighter, almost dark blonde hair that sits down past his shoulders.

The bassist, who kissed Kim Kardashian in the band’s music video Thnks fr th Mmrs, work a light blue flannel shirt and a graphic T-shirt from his own clothing company Clandestine Industries.
Meanwhile, lead singer Patrick rocked a casual look in a cap and a pair of glasses while also wearing a red T-shirt layered with a denim jacket.
He ditched his ultra-long sideburns but still left his hair at mid-length.
Fall Out Boy was initially formed by Pete and guitarist Joe Trohman back in 2001 and consists of Pete, Patrick, Joe and Drummer Andy Hurley.
