Centuries


"Centuries" is a rock anthem by Fall Out Boy, released in 2014 as the lead single from their sixth studio album, American Beauty/American Psycho. The track reached number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and hit number one on the UK Rock and Metal Chart, earning quadruple Platinum certification from the RIAA. Its driving guitar riffs and anthemic energy make it a rewarding study in modern rock rhythm playing and power chord progressions for electric guitarists.

  • "Centuries" was Fall Out Boy's first top-ten US hit in eight years, following "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" in 2007.
  • The song was certified quadruple Platinum by the RIAA, reflecting its massive mainstream and rock radio crossover appeal.
  • "Centuries" reached number one on the UK Rock and Metal Chart, highlighting its strong reception among rock guitar audiences.

While Joe Trohman prefers offset body designs, a Stratocaster's versatility could serve Fall Out Boy's layered approach, though its body shape doesn't suit his palm-muted texture-heavy style as naturally as his Jazzmaster and Telecaster choices.

Fender Telecaster

Trohman uses the Telecaster for its bright, articulate single-coil tone that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining clarity in palm-muted passages, essential for Fall Out Boy's rhythm-focused, layered production style.

The Jazzmaster's natural jangle and midrange emphasis perfectly complement Trohman's texture-heavy approach, allowing individual notes to pierce through while the offset body suits his controlled aggression better than traditional designs.

Boss DS-1 Distortion

Trohman sets the Boss DS-1 for light to moderate drive rather than heavy gain, blending it with effects processing to create Fall Out Boy's thick, layered tones while maintaining clean headroom and articulation through the band's dense arrangements.
