Bassist leaves pop-rock band amicably.
In a statement posted to their web site late last night, it has been revealed that bassist Brent has left Panic! At The Disco.
The news at panicatthedisco.com reads as follows:
"There really isn’t a good way to say this, and it was a decision that was very tough to make, but feels like it will be the right decision for everyone. We regret to inform you that Brent is no longer a part of Panic at the Disco, and although this choice does feel very healthy, he is a great friend of ours and he will definitely be missed. We all wish him well and the best of luck in everything he wants to do in the future.The last few years will be something we will never forget, all the places we’ve been that we never thought we’d go and things we’ve seen that we thought we’d never see when we started this band.
Right now our friend jon is going to be filling in, and I’m sure it would ease his nerves a bit to get a warm reception. We’re at home preparing for the summer tour, and we’ve never worked so hard on putting something together. I can’t tell you how excited we are for these shows and for you all to see what we’ve been planning, we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves…just you wait."
So, no split, but how many emo kids will be crying tonight? YOU DECIDE.
None
This was posted past most Panic! fans bedtimes...
I haven't felt this way
since kurt died...
my pet earthworm kurt that is, I mistook him for chow mein...
o nooo
my tears are being drawn on as we speak.
dam u eye liner, dam u
I rather like Panic
It's one of those cases where you hear a song LOADS and you think it's nowt special, but when you realise that you can't get it out of your head then there's probably a reason for it.
That doesn't mean MTV2 couldn't do with playing their videos a bit less and putting a bit more variety on, mind...
i'd ask if Brent's the one with the stupid haircut
but that wouldn't narrow anything down for me.
the one
who looks like a fat lady.
the bassist?
LOL
I'm a...
bassist, that cuts man, that cuts deep!
Wierd
As if you'd split from a band just gaining fame?

*emo tears*
Dear Diary
Mood: apothetic
My life is a spiraling death port
I couldnt get enough money to see the Blood Chemical Suffocate Me Dry Concert
It sucks because they play some of my favorite songs like 'Stab my Heart because I love you' and 'Rip apart my soul' and of corse 'Stabby Rip Stab Stab'
It also sucks that I couldn't get my hair to do that flippy thing like that guy from that band can do
I keep being told...
...I look like one of the guys from this band. It's almost like the Mike Diver/Jamie Reuben thing. Except even less right.
is it the guy at the front ?
no it's not as good as diver / lenman but still ...
oh please split
pleeeeease...
1) Stop quoting the Emo Song and taking credit for it.
2) Panic's bassist is/was REALLY fat when I saw them.
HA
you went to see them...!?
Maybe he was sacked
on the grounds of being fat?
I think they should've sacked the drummer as well then, since he's a weird hybrid of Jack White and Sigourney Weaver. Actually, I haven't decided if that's a good thing, or a bad thing...
most hittable face in music
belongs to the lead singer.
its irrational, but his face makes me angry. him and all of fall out boy.
BOOOOOOO
Just heard the terrible news.
I tried phoning the Samaritans, but they told me to fuck off.
who?
am i meant to have heard of these?
Is it because
he got caught fiddling his fans?
Unbelievable
To hear that they got rid of their bassist but they are still sticking together.
Such a shame...
Who cares?
"we’ve never worked so hard on putting something together."
They must be really lazy bastards normally cos it's gonna be shit
yea
you're all wrong , hes gonna be missed
missed....
like my arse hole would miss my piles, or something like that. I've never heard these guys actually, I'm just joining in the Cass as it's quite good fun!
xx
people
who come and sign up to drownedinsound and their first post is just something disagreeing with most other people in the thread are ACE! There should be more of them!
actually, especially
when they NEVER post again
hahahaha
the title of this piece is the sort of pun I'd make!
reeeet
I just heard this band for the first time whilst watching MTV by mistake. Yes, they are total shite and I wish rather than him just leaving they would have all died. 30 year olds still wanting to be 15 year olds with their fucking shit brand of happy days emo. Jesus christ, what is the world coming to. Just don't even bother writing about people like this, then maybe they will all just cease to exist, leaving the population to get on with finding out about something that doesn't revolve around some sappy relationship that probably means nothing to them, and definately means nothing to the rest of us. JESUS!
Who wants
to take bets on that the new bassist will be "stuningly atractive" and all the 13,14 and 15 yr old girls will jus fall in love with him.
God wen u thought your estimations of a band couldnt get any lower.
dont panic
i heard they dont write their own tunes... is this true?
Why oh why
do people think that catchy songs make a band 'good'? Why is it a positive thing when you can't get a song out of your head? It's difficult to scrub congealed catshit out of a mat, but that doesn't mean you fucking want it there, does it?
wait, i just thought
do they count as a boy band? cuase they'd be the first wemo band ever!
Block party.
Why does the drummer look like a brick?
Bass player wanted
Let's be honest he wasn't the strong point of the band. And now he has gone it leaves a clear winner in the 'who has the worst hair style' competition, that goes to the guitarist.
Bit of a bugger though as we popped along when they played at Astoria. We weren't expecting much, but they were tight as a frog's bumhole and did rock da house.
I'm sure they could get someone to step into the shoes of the floppy haired guy.
well
it makes no difference, there are only three "emo" bands i like, and i don't tihnk there emo (bright eyes, postal service, death cab for cutie)
to be honest, i feel sorry for anyone who joins panic, who'd want to live iwth being in a band like that when there older, the reputation would make them go from wemo to emo
none
no emo kids will be crying tonight.
they don't care about the music, in fact they probably don't even know the names of the members.
you just gotta be "part of the scene" innit.
Panic!
Brent IS missed terribly.
The "new" bassist, is NOT good looking.
So look you're all wrong. :]
Their names are...
Brendon Urie
Ryan Ross
Spencer Smith
Brent Wilson
&John Walker is the new one.
why dont you all grow up and stop picking on the "emo" bands.
They arent even emo. jeeze.
btw, Brent was pretty chubby, but he lost a lot of weight.
..
Don't really care what their names are.
They're one of the WORST bands ever.
And he went down crying when a bottle hit his shoulder at Leeds or Reading I forget which. Stupid band.
