Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump must be a bit miffed that FOB never reached panic’s heights now. At one point they were always mentioned in the same breath.
That said just looked at fob wiki and they’re not doing too badly at all
I think this is something I really love about him and also Hayley who, for example, guested with The Chariot. There’s no reason you can’t love pop and metal genres.
Both bands headlined Reading last year. pretty sure FoB are fine with their success, even if we, the music snob know they aren’t as good.
I think where panic have had real success is they’ve full on been accepted by the mainstream… As just great musicians, where fob probably only appeal to the emos these days (hence headlining reading etc). I’m arguing this really poorly but hopefully you know what I mean
Doesn’t Jenny Owens Youngs co-write for them?
yeah, i get what you mean, but at the same time, I think FoB are huge in America, so huge in fact, Taylor Swift has apparently covered them!
Yeah looking at the stats fob are doing brill in America.
Actually looking at chart positions for patd in the UK I was really surprised that Saturday night and high hopes were not top ten
Fob are, imho, very MOR, phoning it in and it kinda pisses me off that panic! still get lumped in with them. And I say that as someone who had an absolute BLAST dancing and singing along at their Reading set last year.
Hahahaha look at how happy he is!!
Decent.
He was also quite entertaining on vine. And obviously being in kinky boots kicked his showmanship up to the next level (as seen in the Ellen performance above)
Excellent voice.
Loved his positive hardcore Fridays, or whatever it was.
I think a LOT of people do. I remember going down a wormhole after reading this very interesting article about High Hopes:
Pete Butigieg using High Hopes with a silly dance and everything mean PATD are cancelled. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
FOB were always better anyway.
FO, M.
I really like Pretty.Odd. (not as much as any of the ones succeeding it though)
How do you feel about Nine In The Afternoon?
Thought I posted that a week ago…
I actually don’t mind it; but it’s one of the more Panic!-y songs on there which is probably the reason it was chosen as the lead single.
Cannot get this song out of my head, although the original Menzel version, since watching the film, TBH. Was interesting to see Panic! At the Disco and Weezer are the big bands covering songs for this film. Like Frozen and Moana both had their big single versions done by what I’d describe as young teen demographic pop stars as you’d expect. I realise P!ATD have a broad appeal but I certainly think there’s a big recognition from Disney that there is going to be a much older demographic watching Frozen 2 than necessarily there might be.
