Wywiad z Brendon'em Urie:
LiveDaily: What do you think about all the hype surrounding your band? You're selling out theaters, on the covers of magazines ...
Brendon Urie: The hype is pretty good. So it's a good sign. There's different kinds of hype for different reasons. Hype is good. The crowd just has more expectations from us when we're on stage. That's cool, too. I hope we haven't been too disappointing. We try. [laughs]
Speaking of "expectations," that's been a word that has followed Panic! At the Disco around since its formation.
When we first started off, we made our record and then we played our first show. There was a bit of an expectation, you know, "Fall Out Boy signed them. They never played a show. They better be, like, real good." In the beginning, we sucked, too. We were horrible. We're still not too good, but we've gotten better. I'll just say that much.
With your breathlessly long song titles, you seem to come from the Pete Wentz school of writing.
[Laughs] Ryan writes all the lyrics, and me and him will have a music idea, and we'll sit down together and kind of work it out. And then when we have the basic idea, me and him sit down, we'll present it to Spencer and [now ex-bassist Brent Wilson], and we'll all collaborate, with whatever ideas we have. For the first half, we wrote the music first and then [Ryan] wrote lyrics to sort of fit the feel. For the second half, the songs, Ryan would write lyrics like this storytelling kind of picture. We would write music based around that--like, the feel, the theme of what he was talking about. If he was talking about a whore, it would have a sleazy feel to it. We're weird guys. I don't know if a lot of people get our humor. A lot of people probably think we're jerks. We're real sarcastic. Really ironic and stuff. We mean well, but we joke around probably a lot more than we should.
What was it like to work with producer Matt Squire?
It was awesome. I love that guy. Pretty much all the songs we ever wrote were on the album. So it was kind of hard pulling stuff together. Some of the song ideas we didn't use because we didn't have the time. We're kind of perfectionists. We like to sit down with one song and really work it to our liking. He had so many good ideas that fit perfectly. I should say we had pieces of songs and put them together. We had seven or eight full songs, and then he edited every single one of them. He really helped us out with some ideas.
We were really uptight when we were writing. We were like, "Man this sucks. We have to work on this chorus." He was like, "No, man, the chorus is good. Leave it alone." He helped us pick the priorities for songs. He was pretty much on the same wavelength as us. He got the idea that we wanted. That's the first time we ever worked with anyone else. There's a lot you can learn from Matt Squire. He's quite the mentor.
From what I understand, singing is something relatively new to you..
I had only been in the band for four months, [and] I had been the singer for, like, two weeks when we were signed. So it was, like, weird. I was the lead guitarist/backup singer. I wasn't the singer. Ryan was. Then, like two weeks before we got signed, they were like, "OK, sing." I was like, "OK, whatever." We had, like, four or five months to write the record. At that point, we only had, like, three demos. It was the most stressful time for us. We were so under pressure. We would practice all day. I got out of class at 10 a.m. I had a nap, go to practice at 2 and stay there until like 1 in the morning. We had 11- to 12-hour days. I would have to wake up again in an hour and go to school. That was my last year in high school. I was a junior when I joined the band, and my senior year I spent writing and recording.
