Gotta love teenagers with no perspective.

no! the world will die without them! besides, how are you supposed to have a great band with only 2 people?!?!?!?

Who?

’tis sad. oh well atleast its not like theyre dead…

Look for the former members to form their own spin-off band called Excitement At The Lounge. And also look for Brandon Urie to be the only original PATD left, cause we can all bet on the drummer leaving not too soon after this.

WHY!!!!! NOOOO!!!!! This is like the worst news that has ever happened!!!!! This makes me question what is the point anymore!!!! Why am I here? What is the point of it all??? Why did I let him stick it in my butt??? Don’t leave the band!!!!

who the fuck cares…? really. come on.

Best news I have heard all day!

as long as each of their directions are heading towards a cliff

Who cares about this crappy emo band? This is actually a good thing, I can’t wait for My Chemical Romance to be next, it’s about time emo hit its peak, this actually worse than the bubblegum pop craze of the late 90s. And what kind of name is Panic At The Disco anyway? That’s the gayest name for a band I’ve ever heard. Those guys were doomed from the beginning. I hope this paves the way for real rock music to come back, much like how 80s hair metal came to an abrupt end because people had enough of its declining quality.

Really???! Wow. I’m not gonna say the world is going to end, but why this? And why now? I was supposed to see them in a month. This sucks. A lot.

This! is! Awesome!

Not a fan of Panic but I would hate it if my fav band split. Although these guy’s musicianship is so irrelevant to music today that this news is already yesterday

i propose they change their name to Panic? At The Disco?

speechless,
why the shit things happen?
Idunno maybe i wouldn’t like this band anymore T…T

all i know from this band is that messy , disjointed song that sounds like bad beatles … their last single , i cant remember the name of it … but it was a mess … the first time i heard it i literally said to my friend that ” this is really disjointed , it sounds like a band having internal problems ” …. shit , i should be working for Rolling Stone with my insight

WHY RYAN AND JON!!! NOW IT WON’T BE PANIC! AT THE DISCO ANYMORE!

hey! remember when at the end of the eighties people in the mainstream had the epifany that Hair metal was quite possible the worst form of music in existance, and then a couple of AMAZING bands got broke thorugh and reinvigorated rock? ( your metallicas your Nirvana your rage against the machines exc.) well please oh god! let history repeat itself! emo= punk rock heavy doses of estrogen

I hope this doesn’t change the direction they were taking with their music. Hopefully the two that left weren’t the one’s behind the “Beatles” type thing they went for. I’d be mighty upset.

I like how the article itself is making fun of the fans’ cliche and dumb reactions. I’m sorry the band was halved but come on… at least have some kind of intelligent response to the situation

disappointed. really disappointed.

like many groups in recent years, as well as past decades, members of successful and profitable bands are unexpectedly over and done with within the midst of their rise in the charts. Members obtain a conflict in interest and disband, adapting and reinventing. Fans now anxiously await the fate of PATD’s new face as Singer Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith continue to tour. The upcoming year may prove PATD’s ongoing success or mark their rapid fall in the music industry. Hello or Goodbye PATD?

Oh yeah, Panic At the Disco. I forget they existed until I read this. Worse things have happened.

Oh no…

I like how RS deliberately worded its title to make it sound like two of the members had died, cause if it just said “Panic At the Disco Members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker Leave Band”, nobody would give a damn to so much as hover their cursor on the article link.

,,,these turds and their former band suck big time,,,,,suck suck suck!!!

I like how this dumbass fell for RS’s “tricky headlines”…..If you dont like this mag or this site,,,,,why are you here, BlackHole?

i love panic sooo much. this is prob the worst news ever…

PATD had a gud sound and yep it sux theyr splittin up..but hey lo0k at the brightside, maybe ryan and jonz style of music has more substance..cant wait to hear it..

PS: to Reality check? bein a teenager with no perspective beats being a narrow minded adult

This is very sad news. My teens love this band, in fact this was my daughters first musical “love” ever and she is devistated. You know how important music is to a teens identity! We are slated to see them in concert in August with Fall Out Boy and Blink 182. I really hope they do the show and we all get to see them one last time at least. Ryan and Jon you guys suck!

“Two shitty members from a shitty band quit today…move along!” Theres always the J-Bros!!!111 Oh RS i LOATHE your new bubble gum style!

I used to love Panic, when they had the exclamation point and all, but pretty.odd. disappointed me so much and they said it was a different style because of their musical growth, so maybe this is all for the better. I’m not exaclty sure how spencer and brendon will do without ryan, he was pretty much the glue, but who knows, they could have hidden lyrical talent.

the world is over.
dead
nothing.
the end.

ITS TRUE THE WORLD IS OVER NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

well, i think i’m going to leave panic at the disco too…

Interesting… If i’m not mistaken, the guitarist is the one that writes all of the lyrics and music. The singer just sings whatever the guitarist writes for him…

I wonder what they’ll do now that the guitarist and singer are split up??

I’m saddened by this news. I actually like PATD. In fact, i saw them in concert, albeit i was probably the oldest dude there without a daughter… Oh well.

the world might as well end what does it matter…

Ryan ross obviously always has to cling onto someone. First it was Spencer, then Brendon, then Keltie and now Alex Greenwald and his new ‘hipster’ friends.
Jon and his Beatles obsession, what a load of crud.
What you need to be a new PATD member: flip flops, lyrics ripped from books and pop culture, a monotone and the strong belief that you are above everyone else.
Brendon will now overdose on Caprisuns, and Spencers Bitch PulllEAZE face will be his only face.
Then they will pick themselves up, make damn awesome music, Ryan and Jon will epicly fail and some crawwwwling back.
Just you watch, this is the biggest mistake Ryan and Jon could make, ever.

Such a joke…saw them at Voodoofest last year (not by choice…was waiting for R.E.M.) and as they were finishing a song they went right into “She’s So Heavy”. As if people didn’t think they were Beatles ripoffs before, they pretty much came out and said it there.

This band writes some catchy tunes, sure. But they have absolutely no originality. But oh well…at least I don’t have to listen to them anymore.

who really cares this band has always sucked ass when they first came they were fall out boy rip offs then they tried to go all indie which really didn’t work for them either give it and just stop the band all together

When are they going to say this was a sick joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!tHEY WERE GEINUSES TOGETHER!!!!!!!!NOW WHAT

Boo.
They had talent. They were still young and could’ve gone far with their music. I was supposed to see them in a month now all i’m going to see is Brendon and Spencer? Jon and Ryan clearly don’t care about their fans. Bullsh*t.

As a Panic at the Disco fan, this is pretty upsetting. It’s not the end of the world, but it bothers me. They did pretty well together. But I guess it’s better if they left though, if they had differences, it might result in a conflict of some sort maybe causing a total shut down of the band. I, myself, am going to miss Ryan and Jon. Is this the rise or fall of Panic at the Disco ?

Great, first Michael Jackson dies, now this??!! What’s next???

This is horrible.
I hope everything goes back to normal after Jon and Ryan realize that is wasn’t a good idea to leave. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
ButI hate this. I still support you all.
I’ll still be your number one fan and listen to all your music.
Just so you know: YOU GUYS WERE SO CLOSE TO BEING THE NEXT BEATLES IN OUR GENERATION! Well to me, atleast.
Yours truly,
Alex.
P.S: I will always be your fan, you guys rocked from the beginning, and I KNOW you will continue rockin’. Even if you guys are seperated. …muchlove…

I cried for hours over this. Ryan and Jon, I love you but I will miss you so much

How the hell is Panic at the Disco going to be the same band if the songwriter is gone. Thats so stupid. Ryan Ross you are one of the most talented song writers I wish you well.

This is sad that Ryan & Jon are leaving. Ryan is 1 of the main songwriters in the band & was kind of the 1st person to start PATD. Jon replaced their last bass player that didn’t fit well with the band. He was a lot better than their 1st bass player. I am curious how this will work without them. They worked very well with PATD. I guess time will tell if this works or not.

it sad and horrible to think that there will be no more ryan and jon,moreover panic will nvr be the same.
i understand ryan and jon need to pursuit their own happiness.
but guys!its only 2 albums.isnt it too early to make such huge decision??
there’re times to learn every member needs.
but well,i hope everything will be just fine.
hang on fans!

the worst thing happened…
no more PATD…ilove their music..but what i cn do now??

Damn…I feel for you. I guess you could go be another one of those brainless Greenday fans…

shit band anyway

Panic is dead!!!!!!
Ryans lyrics and Brendons voice was the sexiest thing ever
It’s all over

Hmm… sucks to be anyone with tickets to see them.
Enjoy your half band!

My feeling is Ryan and Jon wanted to keep taking the band into the “beatles” (for lack of better term) direction and Brendan wanted to tap back into the mainstream success that saw him on the cover of every teen beat magazine. Too bad, after their first generic CD they were really adding something fresh and different to the punk rock scene.

I thought the 2nd CD was awesome. Much more creative and challenging than the first. I like the 1st album too, its great, but Pretty.Odd is one of my fav. albums. And Im no Teeny Bopper. I’m 27. Excited and interested to hear new music from both PATD and whatever Ryan and Jon do.

This sucked. Right when I started listening to them this happens.wtf

well, i’ll admitt i was extremeley disappointed at first… but… come on guys. they’re doing this for themselves.

if you were in a band and wanted change… why on earth would you stay? to make teenage girls all over stay happy? i think not.

besides.
it sounded like Ryan and Jon are going to make their own music.
and if you’re a true fan, you’re going to listen…

and that means twice the music.
because that’s what counts.
the MUSIC. and the meaning.

this is hilarious.

without ryan’s lyrics and direction they’ve got nothing!

It’s not a suprise, Brendon and Ryan are always differentiating when it comes to music, they barely agree on much. If you watch interviews Ryan is always sarcastic to Brendon.

I cant wait for Ryan and Jon’s new stuff, hopefully it is better than patd ever was and will be.
As for Brendon and Spencer, good luck.

i dont go on the computer for 4 days and miss out on THIS news? seriously, im so devestated. im so happy i saw them live before this happened.

fuck!!!!!i know this is terrible but i will always support them especially BRENDON!!!!!!but i’m afraid only for one thing…loss of Ryan will affect the sales of their new album……..

i don’t know what to say…Anyway,i will always supporting them especially BRENDON!!!!I’M AFRAID ONLY FOR ONE THING…loss of Ryan will affect the sales of their new album…..

i don’t know what to say…Anyway,i will always supporting them especially BRENDON!!!!I’M AFRAID ONLY FOR ONE THING…loss of Ryan will affect the sales of their new album…..

i’m sure about it!!!!

this really seems like the end of the world!!….i’ll miss ryan and im sure many other fans will too but i support brendon and wish all of them good luck with their music (: i love panic at the disco the best band ever!!!!

This sucks!!!!!!!!!!
what is brendon goiung to sing wihout ryan’s lyrics?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie together made patd’s music completly different fromother bands they were awesome together..

i’m really concerned about the future of p!atd.Ryan was very important for the band.I don’t know what’s going to happen but I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT BRENDON AND P!ATD. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

I think.

I.

Just died.

NO NO NO NO!!! say it ain’t so! a part of my heart just died inside….*sob*

This is hideous! I feel terrible! I have always listened to heavier music, but this was the one band where I could just listen and be happy. Ryan’s lyrics really inspired me and they were so unusual and strange. I loved the way they mixed new music with old and it was just amazing to listen to something so unusual. Brendon’t swesome and I’m glad he and Spencer are carrying on, but I’m just afraid that the band will flop. They are such talented guys and have really made a difference to my life. I will always listen to pnaic even if they stop playing for good. I hope Ryan and John do well and I guess now we’ll get double the awesome music! I hope they’ll carry on playing for as long as possible. And for all of you irritating panic haters, het over yourselves. Why are you commenting on a band you don’t like anyway?! Whatever you say isn’t going to stop us liking them! They’ve made a difference to peoples lives, stop tyring to bring us down! And we’re always going to love them. Thankyou panic for bringing me up when I was upset, and cheering me up when I’m feeling so bad. When people fail me there music always lifts me up. They will live on forever!

I’ve been a Panic fan for years. When I found out about Ryan and Jon leaving the band, my reaction was pretty much the opposite of “The world is going to end now. Fuck it. DONT LEAVE JON AND RYAN!” I was excited! Ryan and Jon have a great dynamic, and were main creative force behind most of the standout tracks on Pretty. Odd.

ahh im so disappointed..

im hoping they go on a musical excursion, and then come back to patd, but i dont think that will happen..

jon will probably be back soon but i dont know how long it will take ryan..

Ryan Ross is great and I support him in whatever he wants to do. I can not wait to hear the new music he will make. PATD is pretty much nothing without him though, seeing as how he wrote the majority of the music. Jon was smart for walking away with him. I believe we will see something great from them in the near future.

I love PATD. i am sad about ryan and john’s departure, but what has always made panic for me was brendon urie’s awesome voice. and i doubt that the band will shrivel up and die. don’t believe me? just listen to brendon and john’s new demo. they sound pretty freaking amazing, and the lyrics sound vintage patd. they still have all of the old songs, but now they’ll have a new perspective. i’m excited about the new album. chin up fans =)

i’m pretty sad about this news. but if it’s for the best we can’t do anything but to help support all of them with their decisions.
But I do have one question are only bredon and spencer going on the blink 182 tour? how will that work? oh well. we all have to change sometime. all i have to say is good luck.

im soo sad! i love ryan and his lyrics are awesome.
i hope he still continues to do cool stuff. i know he will.

aw man :/
didnt really like them that much, so i dont really care. but ryan wrote some badass music.

I’M SURE THAT RYAN & JOHN WILL END UP LIKE the last shadow puppets.I’M PRETTY SURE FOR THAT..ANYWAY,I BELIEVE THAT BRENDON and SPENCER WILL do GREAT!!! PLEASE FANS OF P!ATD don’t stop bying their CDs……BRENDON AND SPENCER ARE WORKING SO HARD….#

PATD was a great band. Ryan and Jon wanted to leave so they did. If we somehow forced them together or they stayed together for the fans that would make them, concerts, songs, and ect unhappy. So yeah i love them just like most of you but i would want them to be happy. =]

I feel like my heart and soul had been ripped out and there isn’t any point in going on any more. But still we have to look at the bright side. They are happy and they arent shutting down the band but just hitting a few bumps in the road. And if you love these guys listen to fall out boy and hey monday and blink 182! but dont give up all hope in music! oh and to Dont call it a comeback if you dont like emo music and if u dont feel srry for the fans out here and this goes for EVERYONE else DONT COMMENT!!!!!!!!

Rest In Peace Panic at the Disco
=(

Rest In Peace Panic at the Disco
=(

something smell fishiy.. same story like blink 182 hiatus.. another marketing strategy..ones they together again and BOOM! they can sell well!!!just like blink 182 now days…yeah…

I DON’T THINK SO….

i’m sure that Brendon & Spencer will work hard and do a great job.I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART & i’m wishing them good luck.The world will end for me only if BRENDON quit from the band(i mean the half band)./.

Sad day for the music biz my friends…but I know both groups will do great. Brenden’s vocals will carry him and Ryan’s genious lyrics/music will (always) carry him. It’ll be great to see where all the guys end up in a few years. Hopefully, they will only exceed from here – love you guys – you have tons of support from your fans!

In my opinion PATD was declining anyway. Ryan n Jon will probably be better. And in response to some people saying emo has hit its peak there are so many subgenres of music today I doubt the subgenre will die because its not really like hair metal. its not like emo is the only thing people listen to like it was with hair metal in the 80s. There is other rock like nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Seether etc. So i dont think emo will be totally erased.

Doesn’t Ryan Ross write most of the lyrics? And if so how are the other two going to deal with that? (Sorry if this is already said… I’m too lazy to read other posts)And honestly didn’t Jon just join the band in a sense and is already quiting? Hm?

Well,don’t you know that Brendon write lyrics???For Pretty Odd had written 2 songs i have friends in holly spaces+folkin’ around).He has a lot of work to do for their new album……..

sorry for this face…i don’t know how i put it.

i have to say that NEW PERSPECTIVE is very very good (i love the lyrics) but i prefer OH GLORY.WHAT DO YOU THINK GUYS??

they r both dong great!get over it poeple!

I love the demo track of “Oh Glory”… new perspective is a bit wish washy. I don’t see how they can remain as Panic at the Disco, even the greatest bands of all time like AC/DC and Zepplin were never the same once members had left/changed. I think it will still be good, but as reports say, a different direction. Panic seem to be veering off towards a “Fever” mixed with drum and bass kind of thing whilst The Young Veins – Ryan and Jon’s project is basically… a beatles tribute band, I’m sorry but it’s true, have a listen for yourselves…

guys…..i think i’m gonna die…such a bad news…..i hope PANIC@THEDISCO will be reunited again..God will make a way.

the two creative progressive members leave the world of emo far behind them, went into full 60’s worshiping mode and recorded “change”, a true masterpiece that’s lightyears ahead of what they did before. Thumbs up!

Maybe the remaining pop duo that still remains in PATD will bow out now before they make MORE stinkers like “oh glory” and “new perspective”.

well I’d rather have a “beatles tribute band” than a “fall out boy tribute band”.

Fever is a complete copy of all the emo acts, Pretty. Odd. was a masterpiece. I mean, not a SINGLE band got their starts on full originality. Even the fab 4 started off mostly playing older classics (and they kicked ass as a result). If the young vines start off influenced by the beatles, just imagine how far they’ll go from there!

How in the hell is Panic! emo? Give me an example, please. Because I’m really not seeing it.

I’m really saddened by Ryan’s departure. His lyrics were gold.

Mmm. I like how everyone is saying Pretty.Odd. is a masterpiece. I’d say it’s far from a masterpiece, but I’m not saying A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out was any better. Keep in mind I’m a big Panic! fan, I’m just realistic.

Ryan Ross is trying too hard to live the 60’s rockstar life. Entourage of girls and lots of coke. Jon Walker just decided to follow suite. While New Perspective was nothing to brag about, keep in mind Ryan wrote it and that it’s also just a soundtrack song.

I’d say both Panic albums were at the same level lyrically. And the Beatles tribute band vs. FOB tribute band thing? Fall Out Boy sucks AND blows – at least Panic is creative and experiments with their music.

I think both Panic and The Young Veins [alternate band name: CokeNCYDE] will do just fine. Ryan, however, needs to learn there’s a difference between being INFLUENCED by a band and just entirely MIMICKING a band.

by the way, I loved the “and Brendon will overdose on CapriSuns” comment. LOL!

CokeNCYDE?! LOL! That’s awesome!
Finally some coke jokes…

Yeah, Ryro is crazy now. His alleged “wedding” with Zberg (or whatever the heck her name is… f’n hipster kids)… geez.

Ryan writes great lyrics (keep in mind that Brendon wrote two or three of the songs on Pretty.Odd. though…). Brendon has a wonderful voice. I think they’ll both go far. Now we’ll get some electronic pop and some I-wanna-be-the-Beatles Pretty.Odd-esque music.

I can live with that.

cocaine is a helluva drug…

Putting the ! back in their name seems like such a “F U” to Ryan and Jon. And releasing “Change” the same day as “New Perspective” was such a F U right back.

Ryan’s album is going to sound like The Beatles while Brendon’s album is going to sound like one of their shitty label mates.

Neither of ‘em sounds very promising.

I was really upset when i heard about Panic! splitting up. I thought it was over, but then I heard the Oh Glory demo and New Perspective and I know that it’s going to be all good. They already have new members Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes. And I’m really happy for Spencer right now because everyone would say P!ATD and think of Ryan or Brendon. Jon was a new member and more people knew him more then Spencer. Now Spencer is the one doing the interviews and finally now he’s getting publiciy. I love Panic! and I will always support them in whatever they do, except break up.
panic! at the disco is the best band ever!

Any way you look at it this kinda sucks. I think that Brendon and Ryan shoudla just took turns, lol. brendon writes track 01 and Ryan writes track 02.
I will be following Both bands VERY closely. Ryan had the 10 star lyrics and the 6 star voice. And Brendon has the 10 star voice and the 6 star lyrics.

While I belive that “A Fever You Cant Sweat Out” was the better of the two albums “Pretty Odd” is still nothing to laugh at and “New Perspective” is definately a promising start for P!ATD. I have Yet to hear Change by Ryans Band called, “The Young Veins” right?

i think A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out is much better than Pretty Odd. *and i don’t wanna listen again that p!atd are EMO!*!*!they used to be in the past , before Pretty Odd came out.*

OH MY GOD!*!*!*!!!!!!I’ve just listened to ryan+john new song.this SUCKS!!!#*!*# PROPABLY RYAN THINKS THAT HE’S A ROCK N ROLL STAR.LOL… ARE THEY NUTS?!? I’M SORRY FANS OF RYAN AND JOHN BUT….
back to 60s!!!!!

good news for you guys, otherwise for me (
