Panic! At The Disco - Viva Las Vengeance (August 19th, 2022) Album • Page 26

how can a band break up when it’s just one person? Lol

 

was thinking the same thing

 

He closed the god damn door

 

So his last album bombed and tour wasn't selling well. The band breaks up, comes back in ~5 years for a reunion tour/new album (maybe with original members) to cash in on the emo nostalgia

Or maybe I'm just cynical

 

What a shame the poor guy’s band was a bore.

 

Dude knew he had to go back to playing clubs after that last album and is well aware a building of that size can’t hold his fragile ego.

 

Fall Out Boy returned, so Panic must die to keep the balance

 

I don't think he was on the road to playing clubs, probably just wanted a break and to be there for the formative years of his kid. Likely back in 4-5 years.

 

His October tour still was averaging almost 10k tickets a night and bringing in $800k.

 

Yeah, you get to a certain level these days and you get too big to fail. You'll have dips but the parasocial relationships now keep acts from becoming Hootie & The Blowfish.

 

And Don’t Let The Light Go Out did ok on radio. People really just say whatever on here if they don’t like a band haha

 

Bringing in 800K, but spending how much? That was a big production/tour to put on.

 

Depends on how much they book for. I imagine they book for $750k/night which covers most costs and might make a little revenue. Promoter makes money on ticket fees, concessions and parking.

 

No idea. Just showing that he didn't slip so far down to a club act by moving 10k tickets a show.

 

Cynically, this also could be a way to drive sales of the European tour if those have been soft.

 

Felt like High Hopes was as big as We Are Young and both bands just faded away within a few years afterwards (for different reasons). Just seems like big time commercial success can really mess with a band (in this case…a singular guy). The level of commercial success for bands in “our genre” is just not long-term sustainable.

 

gods i hope the emo nostalgia train has died by then lmao

 

Brendon didn't use the phrase "break up" at all so I'm not sure why that keeps coming up.

He's stepping away from music to start a family and retiring the Panic! name in the process. If/when he returns with new music, it'll likely just be under the Brendon Urie name.

Not that complicated.

lol no. This is complete nonsense.

He was doing just fine.

 

I went to the Las Vegas show, his hometown show, the night before When We Were Young Festival, on a Friday night. The lower level wasn’t full, and 75% of the upper deck was curtained off, and the 6 sections at the back of the upper deck were not full. Actually kinda depressing. I’ve only ever seen full sections curtained off at an arena one other time, and it was on the MANIA tour. But there werent as many blocked off.

 

I’m sad today. VLV wasn’t my favorite sure, but I’ve been listening to and seeing this band live for 16 years. The Live in Denver DVD that came out during Fever - that was my first show and I can see my friends and I in the crowd. I’ve liked all the albums, not loved, but I always hung on. Really up until this last album cycle, I was all-in on them and at one point was considering getting a P! tattoo. I’ve seen them 19 times total. Very sad that this is how it ends, with pretty little fanfare. I don’t think I could justify making a trip to Europe to see them one last time. Wish there was a short US finale run.

 

doesn't make him or his new music suck any less, either way

 

You Don’t Have To Worry

 

I didn't say anything about his new music. Weird reply.
