Line #19 Trivia/PanicAtTheDisco


1	* TheCastShowoff: Dallon Weekes actually designed the cover art for ''[[http://djjazzyweekes.deviantart.com/art/Panic-Album-Cover-Concept-227170791 Vices & Virtues]]'' and is a pretty skilled artist. This isn't quite a straight example, though, since it's rarely mentioned.
2	* CareerResurrection: Panic! certainly never lost its fans, but none of its songs came ''close'' to matching the massive popular success of "I Write Sins". Only "Hallelujah" even briefly brushed the Top 40... that was, until "High Hopes" caught on at radio and ''surpassed'' "I Write Sins"'s peak on the Billboard Hot 100, over a decade (and six albums) later. Following that with Brendon's duet with Music/TaylorSwift on "Me!", Panic! not only returned to the forefront of pop music but arguably was more popular in 2019 than it was in 2006.
3	* CreativeDifferences: Why the band split.
4	** Managed to happen to The Young Veins as well due to the differences between Ryan and Jon. The band sprung up, pushed out an album, and were gone before ''Vices and Virtues'' was even released. Probably related is the fact that ''Take a Vacation'' flopped even more than ''Pretty. Odd.'' did.
5	* CreatorBacklash:
6	** During the ''Pretty. Odd.'' era, the band stated that the "emo" scene was "bullshit", and dropped their previous circus and vaudeville costumes, and most of the first album from live performances, with the exception of their successful singles. Meanwhile, they played the entirety of their [[NewSoundAlbum new album]] every show. Naturally, this didn't make most fans happy.
7	** Since Ryan's departure, the situation is reversed. The band now plays a generally even amount of songs from all of their albums except ''Pretty. Odd.'', which only gets "Nine in the Afternoon".
8	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LedFwisxLeo Brendon's been making it known by means of verbal cues and body language during his shows]] that he's getting tired of "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcRwX_NXJTE Then he just outright said it.]]
9	** As of 2018, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "Nine in the Afternoon" are the only songs from either of their first two albums to be performed live anymore.
10	* DoingItForTheArt: A fan told Brendon on Twitter that they are unable to buy a song from iTunes. [[http://data.whicdn.com/images/265356121/original.jpg Brendon told them to]] [[DigitalPiracyIsOkay just rip it from YouTube]].
11	* FandomNod:
12	** [[http://instagram.com/p/a15wb9tgaY/ My Milk fic brings all the girls to the 'net...]]. The milk fic is an infamous P!ATD SlashFic. Read it [[http://druscilla-way.livejournal.com/156569.html here]].
13	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f4XMX1LlhY Dallon has also made a Vine]] where he responds to a fan asking if [[ActorShipping 'Brallon']] is real. He Googles a revealing picture of Brendon, in a mankini of all things, and [[FauxYay considers it.]]
14	* FalseCredit: After the departure of bassist Brent Wilson, the remaining band members alleged that he did not actually perform on the band's debut album ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'', with his parts being composed by vocalist Brendon Urie and lead guitarist Ryan Ross, with Urie recording the bass parts on the album. Wilson denied these claims.
15	* HostilityOnSet: Dallon got more and more frustrated with the band late in his tenure, due to Brendon's security guard bullying him and his wife, along with other incidents such as being hit with an airsoft pellet on stage and "having to pretend to be OK with it to keep his job".
16	* ThePeteBest: Brent Wilson to Jon Walker.
17	** Either that or [[LesserStar The Garfunkel]], anyway. Spencer has alleged in an interview that Brendon did all the bass for Fever, and Brent did literally nothing. Unfortunately, there appears to be no record online of the outcome of Brent's royalty lawsuit, which would assumedly give us the answer to if that's true or not.
18	* PromotedFanBoy:
19	** The guys were huge fans of Music/FallOutBoy, and followed Pete's livejournal before sending him a sample of their music and ultimately getting signed to his label. Brendon has also been featured on Fall Out Boy songs multiple times.
20	** They also started out as a Music/Blink182 cover band.
21	* RealitySubtext:
22	** "This is Gospel" was written by Brendon as being about Spencer's drug addiction. Knowing this can turn it into a bit of a TearJerker, especially because Brendon admitted to crying while recording it.
23	** Post-split, Brendon would get [[ManlyTears notably emotional]] while performing "Northern Downpour", the one song notable for Ryan having partial lead vocals. It's a probable reason for why the band doesn't perform it live anymore.
24	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
25	** The band played a song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTjV4HfZFPk "(It's) True Love"]] during live performances, but it was never recorded professionally.
26	** Brendon was considering performing under his own name after Spencer left, but eventually decided to keep the band going essentially as a solo act.
27	** Between ''Fever'' and ''Pretty. Odd.'', the band had attempted to create a concept album called ''Cricket and Clover'' in a cabin in Mount Charleston, Nevada. Described as a modern day fairy-tale and the beginning of a series of albums, producer Rob Mathes described it as sounding "really bizarre" and more akin to a film score than an album. Most of the tracks have never been released. Only two songs are known to have been written for the album: "Folkin Around" off ''Pretty. Odd.'' and "Nearly Witches" off of ''Vices and Virtues''. A demo for the latter already had been released as part of Fall Out Boy's ''Welcome To The Administration'' mixtape under the fake band name The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus, with completely different lyrics that had been rewritten following Ryan Ross's departure from the band.
