Kerrang! December 9, 2006 Issue

So given this whirlwind success, you’d expect a comment linking the band’s aloof demeanor to their new-found rock star ranking to come right about now. But you’re not going to get it. While the Panic! team (which includes management, the band’s personal security guard, and tour manager) flap about, fielding the never-ending phone calls to make sure that everything on the foursome’s insanely busy schedule gets done, there’s no prima-donna rock star attitudes to bitch about, no alcohol-fueled tantrums to witness, and no groupies sneaking out of the backstage door.

Instead, as muffled screams of ‘Panic!, Panic!’ escape through the backstage walls an hour before show-time, Urie and Ross crack up as they slow-dance together through the heaving dressing room, belting out ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ by fellow Las Vegas quartet The Killers as they glide through the crowd.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE ROCK STARS?

SPENCER: “No, not at all, I enjoy being at home and doing things for myself. My mom still says, ‘I need you to take your sisters to school’. And I do it. I never say, ‘Are you crazy? I’m in Panic! At The Disco!’.”

BRENDON: “We’re just normal guys that happen to be in this popular band. It’s not like this defines who we are - This is our job. We are defined as musicians, but we’re not defined as rock stars.”
