in fact blocparty’s really talented band with high musical ability. i fallin to russel lissack. he’s a great guitarist, and i like his misterious style
patd such a kids fave idol in circus

PATD…improves with time.
Bloc Party…is forgrttable.
then again, PATD have no brain or respect… and BP DOES have intelligance…
the only thing i could tell you in full confidence is that PATD is not ‘emo’ they like to think of themselves as the new Radiohead.
make of that what you will.

Anyone who says PATD is creative is ridiculous, they took lines from an amazing book by Chuck Palahnuik and ruined them. Time to Dance is a pathetic knock off of Invisible Monsters. Its Chucks words and style and whole story put to music, how is that considered awesome?

Panic is my favorite.. Why? Well I love their music.. And because of “Build God Then We’ll talk” I won a contest! Hehehehehehehe!!!!!!!! I know this is Bloc Party Vs. P!ATD thing was like years ago but I dont give a shit..

p!atd roks but they rnt emo fuck im in an emo band and we are so much better than them they arent emo BUT I FUCKN AM

fff

I like Bloc Party And Panic!

Crazy Shit eh?

this is how it is

everyone is saying that Panic is so “non-mainstream and awesome because they do whatever they want”…so thats why they get played on the rap/poppy punk radio stations…sorry but to me thats pretty damn mainstream.

and these fucking people have the nerve to say Bloc arent creative and all this nonsense….
non-creativity is when every song on your album sounds JUST like the one before (cough A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out cough)
so the answer to this is that..
…Panic isnt emo..they are gay. if only everyone saw it that way…

ya P!ATD sucks, i thought i’d give them a chance when i heard bloc was touring with them, so i downloaded a bunch of their songs. They’re horrible, if I recall I would listen to two of them. They just want the glamour.

yea.. i’m gunna go ahead and say if p!atd isn’t emo.. what is? (besides tbs).. yea they are emo… when did that become a bad thing.. because people call wrist-cutters emo doesn’t change the meaning of the word.. it got warped into something bad. Emo started out as emotionally-charged punk rock, and of course you’re going to say p!atd isn’t punk rock.. of course they aren’t.. thats why the emo genre was created.. oh and by the way.. bloc party owns p!atd

I have heard P!@TD’s album and although it isn’t awful, it still isn’t up to much. They just seem incredibly pretentious. To all of those criticizing people having a go at panic without listening to their music, have you heard Silent Alarm? If you think Panic are better musicians than Bloc Party then obviously not.

it’s laughable.
anyone who goes on about emo and shit - and labels patd like that -obviously doesn’t know panic!
they don’t have the album. they dont know the lyrics.
they’re just vomiting out what they’re being told on the radio.
whose hosts are just saying what ppl want to hear.
and label them simply because of their image. dark hair- check. makeup - check. hell - they must be emo.
forget the music. i mean this isn’t about the music at all, is it?
patd are not emo. for crying out loud, get over it. you just can’t accept that they’re your age and are better musicians.
haha.
you wish you were them.

Yea so i got a secret…. people that enjoy real music… do not enjoy panic’s attempt at music. Bloc Party is music. haha Panic blows. and yes i have heard them because my ex was obsessed for some odd reason.. i maybe shallow but i think that is why i broke up with her bc i was sick and tired of hearing there shitty ass music.

i dont think there’s really a fued here. i respect Panic!, but i also agree with what bloc party said. there should be no bad blood here, and if bloc party fans want to start some kind of indie/emo war, who are the real whiny bitches?

panic at the disco suck! plain and fucking simple.

Panic! At the Disco is AMAZING. They are soo creative. I’ve never seen anything like their concerts…CD…live performances..and Music videos. I like how they don’t follow what every other band is doing..and do what they want to do. They’re not emo. I really don’t know what catagory of music they’re in though..P!ATD is #1 !
good job guyss. :]

Alright,I know some people don’t like Panic!At The Disco,and that’s you opinion,and I may not like it,agree with it,or even respect it,I have to acknowldge it.

I just have one quetion for you:
Have you even listened to a song of their’s other than “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”?
If you haven’t,I advise you shut your goddamn mouths,and go take a listen.
Maybe then you’ll figure out that they aren’t emo in any way.Only one song is admittedly a little emo,and that’s “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off”.They really don’t fit in to any category I can think of.Other than “Awesome”.

Don’t get me wrong,I do like Bloc Party too.I just think Panic! made a mistake in chosing them for opening acts.They do seem pretty bad at this.Like,even though the Dresden Dolls are awesome,they should have known a lot of their fans wouldn’t like them.
But you know whay?THEY’RE KIDS!
The average age of the band is 20,what can you expect?Where YOU at your most mature at that age?They’re going to need time to grow up and become themselves.But if what they’re doing right now is any indication,I’m excited for album number two…

I think some dumbass teen made up that lame ass name (u know EMO) that lame ass pointless name! sounds like bird, lol..
now that I think of it I’m not even sure why people use that word…. I remember once my younger couzin who is middle school told me that one of her friends was EMO of coarse confused I asked “and what’s that?” So confident she said “someone who cutts” I broke into a histarical giggle and corrected her after I controlled myself so I think its just a lame ass word that means nothing!

Rockandrollgirl I agree, but it means it has some stupid useless emotion to it… the hardcore crap was just added to it to cover up its lameness, lol… I’m just saying that in no way should panic be called emo, cuz its just not possible, : ] hardcore rock a+ (for awsome) emotional hardcore rock f- (for fuckin lame)…..

EMO means emotional hard core rock? Then…what is hardcore rock because I don’t hear rock at all in EMO music or what people say is EMO. Nothing personal. I don’t listen to EMO but I don’t think it was given it’s own genre for nothing. It’s not true rock music or even hard core. Have you heard Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction….no it’s not emotional by some standards, but to me it is truly hard core rock and roll….and some of the best.

Ok. It comes down to a battle between two bands. Panic can go throw themselves off a bridge for all I care (and only if at the bottom of the bridge would be sharp knife like stones). Emo sucks, if Kurt Cobain was still alive he would roll his eyes to these rat fuckers. Bitching and moaning and coming straight out of the white burbs… It is a tough, tough life…

Bloc Party- they are impressive. Not 100% with these wankers yet, but what I heard, kinda rocks. Still has a Strokes feel to it…

And still no story of Syd Barrett, eh? Last week, the fuck nuts at Rolling Stone put out a fake cover of Syd on it… Now, I know putting Syd in a write up about Panic and Bloc Party is out there- but so was Syd. So was my man, Hunter S Thompson, whom, at one time, wrote for Rolling Stone. See how downhill this mag has gone?

Anyways, Syd was never written about when he died- no long article on his brillant early Pink Floyd work. No mention that the Beatles stopped recording “Sgt. Pepper” to cross the hall to watch this new young band and their front man, Syd, record some tracks. No mention of the mad cappers maddness… His slip into insanity… But Fuck, write about two crap bands tossing some shit around…

Fuck, just go write an article now on how Green Day is the best punk band, or how Brittney Spears is flashing her bald pussy around.

And what did Mr Thompson once write…
“Jesus Hates Bald Pussy”

Fuck Emo. Fuck post-punk.

Give up the funk.

So crappy emo bands are mad they’re called ‘emo’??

Guess what-maybe if you didn’t sound just like the formulaic, end-of-music brain-rot that has come to be known as ‘emo’ people wouldn’t call you it! ‘Emo’ nowadays just means ‘Shit’…it’s the same thing if that whiner singer said “I hate people call us [Shit], becuase we’re not [Shit]!”
LOl…yes you are!

Emo=shit

I’m sure someone has considered that P!ATD HAS to put on such an over the top spectacle on stage because w/out it, and their astro-glide sheen production on their album, it’s nothing more than teenagers with guitars. I have nothing against them, it’s just not my style of music, and they are only a smidge different than the rest of the emo/pop/punk bands that are out there right now. At least MCR decided to go Pink Floyd and try something creatively different than their bretheren who appeal to the 21 and under crowd. Anywho, the only cheap shot I’ll take is that it seems like the singer graduated from the Patrick Stump school of over emoting vocals..

thats the lamest article/story ever, why the hell is this even on here! i am sorry but this zine needs to find journalist…

Wtf, peeps why is everyone saying end of story the story is never over!
Any who how is panic emo, do you people even know what emo is… anyway, for those of you who don’t, its emotional hardcore rock, and its rather dark… who the ffff cares about that bullsh!t I don’t get how panics music could ever be called that…
It just plain alternative rock/pop….
not gay ass emo!! Even the lead singer from panic called it bullsh!t, qoute ” emo is bullshit!”- brendon urie. So get over that crap that panic is emo unless ur all deaf its not possible..
Now bloc party is effin awsome but I had never heard of them until they went on tour w/ panic and thanks 2 them I got turned on to another great band so love em both but hate how people are so narrow mind towards music there is to much out there just to say something sucks becuase it doesn’t appeal to u yea its ur oppinion but make it brief and respectable not ignorant and childish, I love music its my life, I just hate when people put down great music cuase its not there stylo and I am pretty sure bands hate it too!

You suck Jeff!

I guess I’m the only one who hates both of these bands.
Fuck Panic! at the Disco…
Fuck Bloc Party
You both suck.

I don’t know who used my handle but I stick to my original post…if P!ATD stood on stage, played their instruments sang their songs without quivering from running around scantly dressed girls too much, they might actually prove their talent. That’s what I said before and I say it again….nothing personal about the band, but that’s just an opinion. I think it’s great that they have many fans, and I think it’s fair to let everyone like whichever band they choose, however, after seeing this band perform on tv with a bunch of costumes and people running around and the singer barely catching his breath, I have to say that maybe they try to do too much….and another thing…it’s rock and roll, it’s supposed to be loud…what’s with the mimes?!!!!

well, its not really fair. P!ATD is probably the most over abused and one of the lesser emo bands out there… and ur pitting them against probably the world’s best current post punk band.

make it fair! Brand New vs. Block Party… now thats a decision!

Patd is an ok band but the problem they have is that when you take away the backtrack and flashy stagework they play live show that sounds crappy and far removed from their well edited album

war?
grow up.

Thats not even a fucking story.

Rolling Stone are wankers.

Wtf, peeps why is everyone saying end of story the story is never over!

im sure of it Panic! are a group of travelling transvestites. The music in novelty and so is the stage show. I tried to listen to whole album but the sound popped my lung. Luckily i passed out and when i awoke the horrible sound had ceased..

anyone who says p!atd is original or “expressing” their ideas should be shot because of the hypocritical statements they are spewing from their mouths. p!atd is signed to a fucking MAJOR LABEL.. they don’t have any creative freedom. they are putting out the shit that the record execs think will make them the most profit. shame on everyone who tries to put p!atd as a comparabe band to the Bloc Party!

i agree with sara. patd is popular because people like their music and the great shows they put on. true fans will always stick to the bands they like no matter what and anything u guys have to say won’t change the way millions of people think abou them. panic is an awsome band, end of story.

ok wtf!??! Panic! likes to give a show on stange to intertain the audience and to have a little fun, theres nothing wrong with that! Their music is different and something new thats catchy and you can enjoy. Bloc Party is good too but so is Panic! Providing a show isn’t wrong or stupid in any way!

dear lord Panics music is overproduced pompous whiny and bred for commercial success.
Bloc party create complicated intellectual music that actually requires thinking
I own both cds
guess which one was the mistake

ok… i hate Panic! cuz they are trying too hard to prove themselves to the world. nobody really needs the big ball gown costumes and ghostly make-up to make a good live act or a good band for that matter. They are musicians, just get on the stage and play the music we paid to see. u can lke Panic! all u want, but it won’t matter to me cuz i think their emo pretentiousness is over baring. Bloc party entertains us with their live music and enjoyable interaction with the crowd. why can’t bands play the music and forget about the shock value and the idea to make u forget that u are at a concert. anyways, i was the one who threw the bottle at Brandon at the Reading Festival…. no, i didn’t but it could’ve been a Bloc fan.

alright, i cant really say anything for bloc party cause i dont listen to them. im not promoting panic!’s success either. but they are one of my favorite bands and have been since summer ‘05. i myself was surprised at panic!’s choice of them as opening act, but apparently they chose them because they like them and have been listening to them. i wish i could make some people see that panic! are seriously down-to-earth, sincere boys. they have their heads in the right places, despite what many of you may think. go look beyond the “I Write Sins” video and the annoying as hell teenie boppers they have and they have a real fan base just like bloc parties. people are who they are, bands make the music they make, whatever, deal with it. don’t bitch and whine.

Panic! at the Disco is the equivalent of Duran Duran in the 80s. Eye candy at most. Alot of good looking people who make music that is catchy enough for young adolescents– who haven’t ‘discovered’ potent music yet– to consume. Once they grow up and find music that actually is of high quality, they’ll understand why so many people knock on Panic! At the Disco.

Yes Panic! At the Disco wants to give everyone a good show. But have you ever actually thought about THEY think? About the girls onstage, about the make-up and the costumes. Sometimes the only way your going to understand somethng……is if you go ask them yourself.

Everyone who’s saying that people would be bitching about Bloc Party if they were as popular as Panic! are entirely wrong, sure they may lose a few fans because Bloc Party became “overrated” but only if Bloc Party sold out would so many people be hating them as much as Panic!
People would probably just stay truthful to Bloc Party if they became as popular as Panic!, and would begin to hate the retards who decide to fall in love with Bloc Party and have one of those huge crushes on the lead singer.

becca, we’d all hate Panic! anyway because they suck. They don’t have any talent or originality and all they’re doing is riding this ‘emo’ fad, and once it burns out, so will they.

If Panic! was NOT on the radio and NOT mainstream, you’d all love them. FACE IT. You’re not cool just because you don’t like mainstream things.

this is so stupid, Bloc Party is 1000000000000000x better tha P!ATD hands down… they have no right to cover beautifully crafted songs like Karma Police, and Tonight Tonight, and make them gay emo songs. sorry to use the word “emo”

Matt is right in every word and Bloc Party have the brains to know that Panic is crap… although shame on Kele for not listening to P!ATD before joining on…

Panic just wants to bring a good show to people and make it more interesting for people to watch. I cant tell you how many times I went to a show and been kinda bored because the band just stood there, no matter how good a band is, its not going to keep my attention if you just stand there. Thats why they have dancers and why i like them so much.

actually jet set paul, emo may have originated as that stuff but it’s kinda adopted a shitty sound that defines the genre…which blows by the way, can’t stand it…just for the sake of opinion…thumbs up for Bloc Party, thumbs down for Panic At The Disco.

This is ridiculous, I’ve read the word “Emo” used a billion times throughout these comments and it’s absolutely sickening. Panic! is not emo. Fall Out Boy is not emo. The Used are not emo. And so on… if you would really like to know what emo is please visit www.fourfa.com (an informative and respectable site about the definition and origins of “emo” music). Please people! Know what you’re talking about before you make these posts!

Havetosayit…you nailed it. All you fucking emo brats, listen to the wise one.

Point is Bloc Party makes music that pushes the fringe outward, while Panic! pander to pathetic 13 year olds who have no idea about music.

Fuck emo…I’m out!

Hey…hey…come on. Every time we mentin Panic at the Disco someone has to bring up the Killers….the two have no a thing to do with each other. You can keep saying that Panic at the Disco is the only band not worst than the Killers but, the reality is that the Killers are a good band. They are not emo and they are not post-punk. They are jus rock and that’s fine by me. Let Panic stink alone, don’t bring my band down because you want to talk about Panic…by the by, Panic wouldn’t be half bad if they just stood on stage, played their instruments and sang songs. Trying to run around with half naked girls and changing costumes does nothing but exhaust a person, just ask Madonna who is known to lip sync due to her elaborate stage shows…if you want to be respected in Rock and Roll you’ve got to get up there and bring it. Forget the costumes and girls, just prove you can play. I’d take a Grateful Dead show any day to most any live show today where everyone wants to prove they are PT Barnum.

Panic at the disco are no different then backstreet boys circa 1998. The same people who listened to backstreet boys then listen to panic now. their defense is that it’s so catchy! well, fuck so is leprosy!!

This reminds me of the time when Jimi Hendrix opened up for the Monkies.

all this music sucks…actually at least panic does,,,i never heard of the other group

Have any of these people who say they hate Panic even heard the whole CD? There is soo much different stuff on there and just because you hate one song you heard on the radio wont mean you will hate all the others.

Panic is amazing. They actually want to do something different. I am so sick of hearing the same sound on the radio or anywhere else. I like Panic because they actually do what they want to. They wont do something because they will make a lot of money off of it or because other bands have bees sucessful doing it. I also like Bloc party. I think their music is pretty good. ITS OKAY TO LIKE BOTH! I dont know why everyones like ‘oh they suck just because’ both bands are good and I think this artical blows the whole thing out of porportion.

I’m glad his lung collapsed. They shouldn’t be touring with Panic at the F’n disco anyway. I was talkiin to a friend the other day who claims Panic is “amazing” live. When asked why, she couldn’t tells me, “they have like dancers. It’s like a real show.” Oh yeah, and she also claims MCR & the used’s cover of “Under Pressure” is better than Queen & Bowie’s….

I’m not a real big Bloc Party fan, but I liked “Banquet”, “Helicopter”, and “Like Eating Glass”, but Panic are just despicable, they suck.

Emo is killing rock music.

panic blows, i woulda popped my own lung or the singers just to get out of that slot!

I think the drummer faked it to get out of it early…awesome.

o and i forgot to mention something Panic! is a pop-punk band with emocore and britpop roots and do a damn good job at writing a pop song. thats right i said it

Everyone knows real emotional hardcore (emo for you idiots out there) died after we lost Sunny Day Real Estate. Plus Post-Punk owns all, Television, Joy Division Mission of Burma Echo and The Bunnymen, without those bands the 90’s wouldn’t have happened and bands like the Strokes and Interpol are fresh and exciting while maintaining the cool that bands like The Velvet Underground had and not become over commercialized crap. Not to mention that “emo” is now nothing more then an image of tight pants waft of hair in the eyes and black makeup. Emo’s dead Post-punk’s alive and kickin’

Emo is not a genre, people.

Panic at the Disco- Umm despite the Smiths references they come from the US so its an insult to put them p against a cutting edge UK act.

I love how emo is becoming a guilty pleasure.

And it should.

Because it sucks.

Are Panic at the disco a band??? I thought they were a group of travelling transvestites…

Everyone needs to take a good hard look at themselves. Panic! is way beta than Coc Party. Panic can at least sing and a way more talented. Coc Party r just try hard gansters and need to be removed from record stores around the globe

Panic at the dicsux is the only band on earth that are worse than the Killers.

i guess everyone hates emo and panic just as much as i do.

i love panic and they’re not emo. they’re fucking amazing and ive met them personally before they were famous and they’re awesome!! i love them.

Panic is EMO! The end!

Yeah, I was all excited to see Bloc Party come around, until I saw they had HUMBLY stooped to an opening slot to Panic. They are capable and deserve much better than that…As much as I love Bloc Party, I hate Panic even more, so my money would have to wait until Block Party came by themselves or with someone else.

Bloc Party is way to good to be touring with Panic! at the Disco.

You’re insulting post-punk.

They really need to think before touring with bands. The result is having your lung callasped because of the awful music played by bands that have no substance!!!-BP is the shit!!!

I recently paid a lot of money for tickets to see them tour together. Mainly because Bloc Party is my favorite band! When I heard they backed out because of Matt’s lung I was real pissed. I went to the show anyway and Panic! actually put on a really good show. So I was somewhat surprised. However, Bloc Party is an unbelievable band with endless potential. Their new album ‘A Weekend in the City’ has leaked and it is quite amazing. It portrays the perspective of spending a weekend in the city and all the things that you come across. They are big time!!!

I’m a huge Bloc Party fan and after reading what they’ve said about Panic I’m an even bigger fan. I despise Panic. Take away the occasional use of synth and they’re the same elaborate-song-titling, whiny-singing band that Fall Out Boy is. Knowing that Bloc Party regrets ever touring with Panic is music to my ears.

i’d pay equal money to see either group get decapitated.

so last weekend i put on my leisure suite and head out to the disco. i’m there dancin with this slut to a boss bee gees song when her huge boyfriend steps up and starts pushin me. i manage to get away from that but afterwards i start getting all light headed, nausous, and my hands are tingling. i was freaking out. luckily it was just a panic attack at the disco

Panic At The Crapco are the worst band in the history of music and they are a bunch of panzies. Bloc Party on the other hand is amazing and one of the best new bands in music today. They just made a dumb mistake, and I’m sure they didn’t realize how incredibly horrible Panic At The Dumpco really is.

this would only be a real fight if Panic! at the Disco was any good.

I was surprised that Bloc Party was opening for Panic! at the Disco, since Bloc Party is so much better.

i had the pleasure of seeing bloc party this august as the headline act at the greek in LA. It was a great show, i was surprised that they signed as the opening act for Panic, because it should be the other way around……Bloc party’s one of the bands, and panic’s a teeny bopper MTV band, I’m happy KELE said what he did, thats show balls and it show that in the end, the music speaks for itself

Panic!’s not emo, but who cares what a band is. Music is music, you either like it or you don’t.

HERE’S MY PERSPECTIVE:
I think P!ATD needs to care a little more about their fans. Some don’t realize this, but that’s just because they you need to open your eyes. Don’t pay any attention to what they say, pay attention to what they do. I mean, they meet their fans and stuff like that, but the things their trying to tweak in their music and on stage, it’s all for them and for their entertainment. And their fans buy into that because their too obsessed to realize it.

I know everyone probably thinks this is just another lame comment, but take time to put yourself in their shoes and maybe then you’ll figure it out.

Kristy you’re stupid as shit. I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart you are mentally instable and uncapable of grasping real music. I hate Panic at the Disco, and I hate Rolling Stone. Figure I’d come here to atleast see what Springsteen has been up to but, no, I get that romance band and panic at the disco. It’s useless.

Panic! at the disco ARE NOT EMO!

Im defending P!ATD they are amazing….Amazing music and Awesome live shows…Cant beat that really C:

ok i like both of the bands, so i’ll defend them both. Panic is not emo, they are far from it. they’re fan base maybe a bunch of 13-15 year old girls, but there one of the biggest guilt pleasures.

Bloc party on the other hand is like many other bands before, where the critics love them, yet they don’t get enough publicity , kinda like the strokes, yeah yeah yeahs, and kings of leon. i think there amazing and people should know about them.

emo is the end of the world, everyone buckle up. Emo is the crapiest, most worthless peice of shiet music ive heard since rap. take it off the air!!!

I was a huge fan of P!ATD a couple of months ago. Personally I think they are using their fame a little too much as an excuse. They had nice performances on their summer tour. But they say they want to get away from Las Vegas. The only thing I don’t understand is why they are taking Vegas with them. I mean, now they have strippers shoving their asses up their backs. What kind of fan wants to see that?

As for Bloc Party, I haven’t gotten a chance to listen to them yet, but I hear their pretty good.

P!ATD sucks shit live!!!!!!! Urie’s vocals are disgusting

Dont really like Bloc Party but PATD is just awful, I dont see why theyre so popular. Its pretty sad that by simply wearing funky costumes and having a stage show people actually forget that their music is the same old whiny emo crap thats been peddled by dozens of bands for the past few years. The singer is absolutely atrocious sounding, someone needs to buy the boy vocal lessons for the holidays.

as a matter of fact I think both bands have HUGE talent! For Panic! to be able to market sucessfully to such a large market is a feat within itself! I saw them about 2 months ago, here in New Zealand and they put on an AMAZING show!

Bloc party I am yet to have the pleasure of seeing! I was hoping they would be announced for this years Big Day Out, but we got Lilly Allen instead whip de doo
:(. They are a VERY talented band and their new album shows this.

I can’t wait for both bands new albums! If Panic! wern’t so popularlar not one of you music “elitists” would be bitching about them!

You cannot deny Panic! at the Discos talent, if even just for the commecial side of things. You would probably get all catty if Bloc Party were as big as these guys too.

Both bands deserve what they have, even if Bloc party deserves much more than they already have, which they do!

i dont know if anything sucks more than patd

Panic at the disco blow goats
Bloc Party do not.
End of story.

You can panic at my disco any time baby!!!

Bloc Party > PATD

P!ATD is the hottest band in my middle school!

why is there panic? and why is at a disco?

PATD = no talent ass clowns

don’t particularly like bloc party, but Panic is everything that’s wrong with music today. thus any band from Bloc Party to the Pussycat Dolls has the right to talk shit about them.

wow! bloc without a shadow of a doubt will still be here long after panic! go back to serving burgers

I’d like to think those who saw us on [the Panic tour] did take it into their hearts and were concerned with the intention of the lyrics, but I do know that to some people it’s just about hearing a song on the radio or having it on their phone.”
—God bless matt tong.

He’s not only a sick drummer but he speaks the truth as well. Emo sucks! The entire genre is bull shit. It’s a make money quick scheme and it sucks that it is the standard of music today. Bloc party released a great album and to tour with panic might have just been to get more fans…which is cool i guess. Emo sucks and takes no talent to make it, that’s why they’re so many emo bands today. Like i said before, it’s a get rich quick scheme because anybody that has bad taste in music, will buy into it. Gnarls Barkley is good. Frank Zappa’s awe inspiring and QOTSA is amazing. Beck is incredible. Emo sucks! Bloc Party’s good though.

i thought emo was one of miss mary ann’s hand puppets on romper room…

Who ARE these bands?

I had the pleasure to catch the Bloc Party on the opening night of the tour in Fort Lauderdale…great performance from a group that will continue to put out music of substance and talent. Panic! was a theatrical teeny weenie joke. I dont see whats so good about this band. These two bands could not be such polar opposite of each other (talentwise or style) then the show i witnessed. Keep it up Bloc Party…my favorite band.

patd need to climb in a hole and rot. they are not music. i’d rather listen to clay aiken.

Panic! at the Disco might as well be a boy band. They’re just the next big thing that MTV and “alternative” radio is trying to shove down our throats.

And I’d also like to remind everyone that Panic! At The Disco is NOT EMO, (Brendon Urie: “Emo is bullshit!”)

P!ATD EFFING ROCK! WTF!

… I’ll be the only one who thinks P!atd makes good music and I’ll be the only one who’s a fan here then shall I….

It sucks because I really wanted to see Bloc Party this summer, but I would have never purchased that ticket.
You know that the proceeds from that tour went to the 5 novel writers that P!ATD keep employed to come up with paragraph long song titles.

so bands now estimate their fan base via myspace friend request…what sort of hell am I living in?

bloc party empties their bowels on panic’s head

If PATD! sucked anymore, I’d _________.
