Bassist of Panic! kicked out?

2006-06-13 by Stormy Smiley Face | 37 Comments
Last month Panic! At The Disco announced that bassist, Brent Wilson, had left the group and it had been discussed and they'd all come to a mutual agreement.

Well, Brent doesn't see it that way. He claims that the day before the band left for a gig in California he received a phone call from drummer Spencer Smith and was basically sacked. Brent seems to think it has to do with money because the band was going to soon embark on a tour where each would roughly make about $50,000 a piece.

The rest of Panic! responded against these allegations by saying that Brent didn't write or record any of the bass parts to the bands debut, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out", and that he wasn't growing as a musician with the rest of the band. Therefore they were left with little choice.

Right now legal action hasn't come into play, but could be a factor in the coming months.

This kind of thing always sucks - gang up kickouts of members. I don't know that it's necessarily motivated by greed, but it really sucks for the bassist.

I agree, but who knows. Maybe it was out of greed and he'll come back with an actually really good band and prove that he was/is talented.This Message Edited On 06.13.06

I could be wrong, but i thought i read in rolling stone that the bassist writes the lyrics for all of Panic!'s songs.

Edit: nope, nevermind, its the guitarist.This Message Edited On 06.13.06

That's funny as hell. Bands are like playing Survivor, you have to keep trying to be better then the rest of the band and get along with the members or you'll be voted out through a secret alliance that only YOU don't know about. B#stards.

Well the bassist will be in a band called Panic! At Your Mom, and it will sell an average amount of records, and slowly fade in the past.
I'm not funny either

You got to be a real jerk to get your bandmates to gang up on one member and then just kick him out.

I agree with VagueDan. That sucks for him. I love these guys, not that anyone cares though. but it sucks when all a band cares about is money. I like bands who are true to music, wether they're good or not.

Take the Arctic Monkeys for example. I think they are terrible. but they are a bunch of young guys who like to make music, and that's what counts. Well it's what should count.

These guys couldn't have been very good friends if it all came down to money.

It only being about money is the bassist's side of the story remember. It might be true, but it might not.

I was being sarcastic about the Aiden thing. I only said it to let VRF see that just because he doesn't care about the band... it's not news to everyone that does.

Actually I kind of agree with the band if the bassists didn't write or record his own bass parts.

Panic! suck anyways - this just goes to show that they are in it for the money and not to actually make music. I hate bands like that - they end up shitting all over the music scene and people will bathe in that shit just because it is the new "in-thing" or because the bass player makes their clit bigger. That my two cents anywho.This Message Edited On 06.14.06

Hey, why the hell would you want a bassist if he didn't make up ANY bass parts in a album. Hell if that guy ever wants to get in the band he better get some "inspiration" and make up some freaking bass parts! God buy a fruchen Mel Bay bass book or something,

Hmm. That does suck. They're starting to get big in the Mid-west. I dont think they should of cut him. Yet.

Or...................Maybe they kicked out the bassist cause you cant even hear the bass because their songs are too electronic (which i hate with passion).
