Panic At The Disco Lose Two

2009-07-06 by A7XEric | 72 Comments
Panic At The Disco recently announced that guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker have parted ways with the rest of the band to embark upon "a new musical excursion." Wombats members Matthew Murphy and Tord Overlond-Knudsen will fill in for the band's upcoming tour with Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy until full-time replacements can be found.

Frontman Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith announced the split in a blog post, adding that the band would continue with new members: "We just wanted to let you know, that the news of Ryan and Jon leaving the band is unfortunately true. It's been an amazing journey being in a band with them, but sometimes individual tastes take friends in different directions and you can't ignore it. They are some of the most talented guys we know, and we're sure that whatever they do next will be great.

"That said, Panic At The Disco is alive and very very well. We are working on new songs that we are excited for you to hear. Our dates with Blink and Fall Out Boy start in a little less than a month, and we wouldn't miss those for the world. We know everybody has a lot of questions at this point with everything being so out of the blue, most of those should be answered in the coming weeks. We appreciate every one of you, and hope you continue with us on this incredible ride."


Fall Out Boy bassist visited the band in the studio and revealed, via Twitter, that the new material "sounds more like a natural progression from Fever [You] Can't Sweat Out."

Hmm, strange one. I wonder if Ryan was getting a little too close to being the #1 guy & Urie told him to "back off".

I also wouldn't have guessed members of The Wombats filling in.

It seems that it happened due to creative differences. Since I hate AFYCSO and like Pretty. Odd, this band is pretty much over for me. And fuck the "!", Brandon.

This is a better case scenerario. But I won't care about anything they do if they go back to their PANIC! old ways.

i liked the first album more than the second, and i think this may move their sound for their next record towards the first album.

Looking foward to new songs from them, everyone shut up, you're all telling the same joke and it just gets gayer and gayer. Like Perez Hilton.

I thought a Fever You Can't Sweat Out was a pretty fun album. They weren't completely original, but it was entertaining and definitely didn't sound like a Fall Out Boy clone album. Pretty. Odd. may have been a Beatles album, but it was still catchy and fun. This band takes way more shit than they deserve.
