Panic At The Disco Are Like A 'New Band'

Panic At The Disco have explained that dropping their exclamation mark was key to the band’s reinvention for their second album.

The formerly flamboyant rockers say they are like a "new band" on their new LP ‘Pretty. Odd.’, which is marked by their minor - yet deeply symbolic - name change.

Ryan Ross explains to Reuters, “Dropping the exclamation point was our way of drawing a line in the sand.

"We have a new record and we feel like a new band. We were all tired of it, and we went ahead and got rid of it."

The band‘s close buddy Fall Out Boy‘s Pete Wentz, a tab more lyrically, offers, "This is going to be like when Kiss took of their makeup.”

But Kiss sucked when they took off their make up, and consider Panic have always sucked... This isn't going to be a good turn of events for them. Though at least they'll be able to blame punctuation when their new album fails.

they really think they are gonna be any better by removing the exclamantion mark?

Hahaha, maybe that's why they did it then...?

[stradivari310]

I actually like the new song.

*hides in flame-proof bunker*

HAHAHAHAH they're treating this like it's a huge ordeal...it's an EXCLAMATION POINT...it shouldn't have even been there in the first place. completely useless. And of course Pete Wentz has to get into any news story he can...****ing media *****

When I see this picture for any panic at the disco article, all I see and only see is a little boy. A boy band that now abuse and make a lot of noise on instruments. Nothing has changed in the last 10 years, nothing. At least the Backstreet Boys have one guy that plays the piano pretty well.

"Music! That Really Sucks" is now "Music That Really Sucks." How apt.

[bass tron]

What point are they making? judging by the titled of the album title, they're still doing the same shit with uneducated puncuation.

If they want to feel like a new band they should break up and go annoy more people over Rock Band online or something.

[kryzay311]

I thought everyone hated it when Kiss took off their makeup...

[A7X/GD/MCR]

i ****ing hated this band but after hearing nine in the afternoon, I've decided to give them a second chance

[LedBeatlesgtrst]

When will the music industry learn GOOD music. There are plenty of musicians out there that deserve to take their place. Quit giving money to people that don't deserve it!

[Jeffray85]

and changing the way they write their name is going to make them a new band, that shows the sheer lack of depth in the band.

[Bunyip]

Thats the stupidist thing I've ever heard. who gives a f#@k I seriously didnt even realise there was an exclamation mark. So does this mean you dont have to say the word 'panic' slightly louder then the rest of the sentence when saying the bands name haha

Checked.

[Seidenschnur]

Personally, I thought the exclamation point was completely necessary. It said, "hey, everybody, we're fags!" The new chick guitar player is pretty cute too. Wink wink.

[Y&Dshredder]

PATD needs to die. F**K emo's.

[the_burning_one]

dude they suck so bad. they say their doing something new, its probably just a new way to suck balls

[hitek008]

Panic!At the gay bar.....now Panic at the gay bar

[Henkdemachtige]

seriously, are all haters wasting time ganging up to flame a topic? anyway its not about the ! itself its about that the name changed, if you cant figure that one out then haters are like, well, stupid.

NO am not Emo
YES you still have the right to flame them and say they suck.

[shyalicia]

haha. just when the exclamation news died down.

[priestfan76]

[fleasaprentice]

don't know why ppl have a problem with this band. im not a teenage emo kid. they are all pro musicians can't fault a thing they do. some of their compositions are genius.
