Pete Wentz - Wentz Slams Mtv Bosses

Newlywed PETE WENTZ has taken time out of celebrating his nuptials to launch a scathing attack on music network MTV.

The Fall Out Boy bassist is "frustrated" by bosses at the channel because of the small amount of airtime actually dedicated to playing music.

The 28-year-old has even started a poll on his online blog, asking fans, "What's the number one thing you hate about MTV?"

And Wentz says, "I could only assume that you would be completely frustrated with the same things I am with MTV. It is a network called music television that does not play music videos. And when they do play videos, it is in 30 second clips on (show) TRL or underneath the credits of whatever reality show.

"The truth is whole videos should be played. Bands should play live. Premieres should be a big deal like they used to be, not just a snippet of a video. Artists should be able to let their imaginations go and know that people will be able to see what they have crafted. Artists should talk about their videos. we should and can make the music video important again."
