Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy has opened up about the band's new collaboration with rocker Courtney Love.

Speaking to Gig Wise, the 'Sugar We're Going Down' star explained that the group knew they wanted female vocals on the song called 'Rat A Tat' and, in particular, a woman who could show that girls can be as important in alternative genres as men:

"I think that it was important, in making an album that's got such an ambitious title about rock and roll, that girls know they have a place in rock and roll besides being coathangers for the dudes or groupies, or whatever."

"So we wanted to get someone who had a seminal rock and roll voice and who was female, and Courtney literally has that voice. But also, she wrote those lyrics, she's all there."

Of Love, he added: "There's a really savvy, interesting, creative person there and hopefully there'll be a new Hole song, or new Hole record, or a new Courtney Love record."
