- I thought I'd have a look at Panic! At The Disco seeing as their new single Viva Las Vengeance seems to be trending on CZcams. I don't know much about this band, and I didn't really pay attention to one of their biggest songs I Write Sins Not Tragedies when it came out. So, in this video I'm going to have a look at both songs and to what's going on and why they're both so popular! What do you think?

Its pretty amazing how Brendon developed his vocal style
His voice changed, but he always sang beautifully and powerfully. Its easy to find amazing vocal parts in every album. How he cares about his voice will give him longevity in the industry (as you can already see with his Broadway stuff)
This didn’t age well given how strained he sounds on the new single
@@natedogsturdikat8538 Your comment didn't age well since the phrase "didn't age well" is typically used years or months after the initial comment and not the exact same month! Not to mention Justin seems to enjoy the singing.
@@melissas4874 it’s 3 months later and the album sounds like shit, the comment aged like milk
@@sunriseparrabellum5505 You obviously don't know anything about recording music or a record tape and explaining it to you will be useless so your comments is useless and will never age well
@@natedogsturdikat8538 Strained? It just sounds less forced now to me, more natural.
6:04 Actually that's exactly it, Brendon was raised as a mormon and actually if you're to look at the Genius analysis of the lyrics for this album there's a lot of talk about his history with faith and his families ties to it!
I think I recall him abandoning his mormon faith as a teenager, but I might be wrong about that part.
@@DillaryHuff yes he did but he’s done a fair bit of reflection on it in his music
Eh the removal of God in the phrase God damn was pretty common for radio versions back when I write sins was released. Even fallout boys this ain't a scene it's an arms race faced similar censorship but instead of only removing the god part they removed goddamn entirely
interesting, he has a very similar look to the Killers Brandon Flowers who is also a Mormon.
is Brandon/Brendan a common Mormon name?
and now I'm watching the video and I see that Justin also noticed they look similar....weird.
they may be related or off the same production line?
This was first concert my daughter demanded to go. Nana spared ni existence. So first row. They played bohemian rhapsody. It was brendons birthday and they had him run through small pit of most priced seats to piano. Which rotated 360 and was above ground about 5 feet. It was really great show. My daughter loved it. She loved finally see the darkness this year. She loved that hand bump from you, as well.
Were yall in Atlanta? Or Duluth i guess
If you think the new song has a bit of 60's influence in it, you should hear Panic's second album. Psychedelic pop rock done with a nostalgic flair.
Pretty. Odd. aka Brendan Urie discovers Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper.
@@benwilson6593 Really? I'd say more Zombies' "Odessey and Oracle" than "Sgt Pepper's". Plus some psychedelic bubblegum rock courtesy of the Monkees.
@@benwilson6593 Ryan Ross discovers**
@@lenadesouza RR wrote PO in combination with the other 3 members. He did not write it on his own.
@@airy_fairy but his absence makes it very clear his flair and lyrical prowess and penchant for that era of music, is sorely lacking from all Panic releases after. John and Spencer too, I think they’re really just saying, “Brendon least of all” and trying to shine more light on Ryan’s skill.
Unlese you know of another gentleman named Robert who mentioned that Panic! At the Disco covered your song before, I believe that gentleman you mentioned was ME! If that’s the case, then cheers, Justin! Love your channel and your music, and the friendship is mutual 🙌🏼
Bands like Panic! at the Disco were very big when I was a teenager. I was never a huge fan of him then, but as time goes on my appreciation of Brendon's sheer musicianship has really made me grow to love him. I was too preoccupied with irrelevant things like "image" and "genres" and I missed out on some great stuff. I imagine a lot of young folks are in that position. My advice would be to just listen to what you enjoy and leave the rest for the losers to worry about lol
This^ I was from that time and it’s annoying AF. At least people are more open minded these days.
I have known so many people who love this band, and I don't get it. Dude never stops throwing stoccato vocals at you. It's just ya-ya-ya-yayayayaya every song for the entire album.
I hate it.
The songs are fine at very best. But knowing the band is one guy explains so much.
First time I heard Panic! (on the Fueled by Ramen Summer of 2006 sampler CD I think I got from Warped Tour that year) I was like yeah.... This is it. THIS is the music I want to make. I thought it was cool and trendy for the emo genre.... I guess I was wrong haha
Thank you, i love this. I was just thinking about something similar the other day but you worded it beautifully. Hope you have a lovely weekend, take care
I am awnestly in awe of your awesomeness. Your ability to hear, analyse & explain is precious.
Justin- I love the channel, the commentary, the frequency of videos and MOST OF ALL, the fact that you play the theme live, every single time. I love it so much! I also love to watch you unwind and/or play along with songs as you analyze them. As a musician, it's great to watch YOU in your master craft. Thank you so much for your content.
A Master indeed
Been watching your channel for the last few months , and quite enjoying the humor and honesty ....well played !!
I love the references you're reminded of during reactions. they either introduce me to a new band/song that I enjoy or get me in a nostalgic mood to listen to a lot of stuff I've nearly forgot.
Your references are fabulous. Love the continuous content! Amazing
The way you jump from a reference to another… great brain for great videos! This channel is a breath of fresh air at the end of each day 👏🏻
Thanks for the content, Justin. I really enjoy it and share it frequently with my musician buddies. I’d love to see a series where you try to write an emo(or any genre) song in a certain amount of hours. Sending love from the US.
I discovered this channel yesterday and been binging since! I guess that drunken night of needing to sing “get your hands off my woman” finally paid off with the Algorithm! Such interesting takes, thanks for the content!
I've found myself waiting a few days so I can bank up your videos and watch them back to back. Love it!
This is my new favorite channel. Love this so much!
Thanks Justin for a great video as always. Just had a listen to Jellyfish on your recommendation and love them! Its great discovering bands you like for the first time and can't wait to dive in for some more after work. Cheers!
The fact that Brendon Urie is so fed up with this song that he genuinely looks annoyed anytime he has to perform it on stage makes it even more enjoyable in my opinion.
That’s a video for Justin “Bands who get sick of their own hits”. Unless he has done it already.

Loving your music knowledge and references. Always spot on. Reminding me of songs long gone.
Justin you make my mornings bearable here in Shitney Australia. It's cold and I watch you every morning on my 6am commute.⭐
Love your channel, Justin. Jellyfish is one of the most under appreciated bands of recent memory. I can't wait for your Jellyfish video! May I also suggest a video on the brilliant Jason Falkner who left Jellyfish to go solo. Thanks, Scott 🙏
What this channel proves more than anything else - you would sell the hell out of a cover album. You can sing and play anything. Great review as always
Subbed for your lovely music knowledge-so fascinating, thank you!
Love the show. Appreciate the witty and yet artistically honest oratory. I must admit I haven't much experience with the your catalog beyond the hits but I remember being instantly attracted to the 'throwback' approach. It was a breath of fresh air at the time and well needed. Still is. Have you yet examined Cats in Space? I had the same feeling when I heard them for the first time this year. Very Sweet/Starz with a mix of golden earing and the unidentifiable. Bravo on the channel 🤘
I loved this. I also adore Viva Las Vengeance. Thank you so much.
Great to hear a Jellyfish shout out - one of my absolute favourites and so little known.
I love "Death of a Bachelor" really Sinatra style. Really shows off his voice. Also thank you for introducing me to the Jellyfish and Aztec Camera, I hadn't heard of them beforehand :)
I love your deconstructions, could listen to them for hours. You and Rick Beato are a gift that keeps giving. Only you could mention Cardiacs and Panic at the Disco in the same breath.
Beato
I love that you got excited about the minor/major key changes, because that’s one of those things in music that I never fail to fall in love with. Sometimes the right major/minor key change can make my cry. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like an eargasm for me.
Holy shit, that Heart Shaped Box reference, absolutely right!! Never heard it until now!
10:55 Blimey. They weren't subtle about the pyramid/one-eye symbolism were they!
Indeed. Unfortunately to get to the top you have to sell your soul. No different for PATD.
I'm sad I wasn't able to see you guys at Download as you clashed with someone else, I hope you guys had a good set and good time! And I love seeing you review these songs I love
Woah, I'm really fan of you and Panic!. Glad you posted this
Btw, I discivered The Darkness thanks to that cover
I love this channel, I was working at a heavy meta/rock bar as a bouncer when you guys were in your hay day, and me and the other security guys used to air-band your songs whenever you guys came on no matter what we were doing, it was great for keeping the morale amongst the patrons up and tension almost non-existent, turns out people are chill when the bouncers and bartenders are having a blast, sets the vibe.
Enjoying your channel immensely,better late than never iam going back and watching all your vids…I’ve subbed and I will try and remember to “like”…cheers Justin yey
I love how excited Justin gets when he hears a song he likes!!
I can't believe no ones pointing this out, panic is NOT Brendon Urie's solo project. The band was founded by Ryan Ross and Spencer Smith, and I only found Brendon when they needed a guitarist because Ryan struggled singing and playing guitar at the same time, but after hearing Brendon's voice they decided to make him the lead singer. Most of the songs on the first 2 albums were written by Ryan and Spencer (including I write sins), but in 2009, Ryan and the bassist left and started a new band called the Young Veins, but they split after 1 album, and after 1 more album with just Brendon and Spencer, Spencer left and since it has pretty much been just Brendon and others have come and gone. The band pre-2009 is a completely different band with completely different song writers to post-2009, only the front man stayed the same and that's seen as enough to be considered the same band for some reason lol
I was always amused at how the band went from 4 to 2 to 1 lol. I'll always love AFYCSWO though
Perhaps because he covers some of that around 10:20
Love your content, never really been a darkness fan but you're winning me over. See you at download tomorrow. Peace one and all✌️
love your channel. You're absolutely brilliant.
I’ve been loving the videos Justin. I’d love to hear your thoughts on a silverchair song from their album Diorama. Possibly the song Tuna in The Brine. That whole album is amazing and underrated for sure.
Justin, you should listen to Panics "Nine in the afternoon." As a Beatles and Jellyfish fan,, I think it would be right up your alley. The tempo changes alone, are worth a listen.
Ooh, I forgot about that song. Brb gunna go listen to the album
This is my favourite panic song!
My fave Panic! song! PD: I love Jellyfish too
terrible song imo, no offense
That whole album is excellent.
Justin I have listened to I believe in a thing called love all my life,
But only after watching your videos did I have the crazy thought to listen to the rest of your catalogue
Holy hell man, what an incredible band you guys are.
Keep up with the videos and keep up with the music
Loved welcome tae glasgae
Thanks justin, I'm really enjoying your takes, hope you and yours are doing well.
sharing is caring, great music again being introduced to different generations by good bands.
Mr. Hawkins once again proves that he is a musical-Einstein. Some day a museum solely dedicated to his brilliance will be erected for the enlightenment all future generations!
👍♥️
As long as it’s in Lowestoft 😂
It will be known as the Lowestoft Louvre
He is basically a thief.
@@Shinobi_6 everyone making music is basically a thief, by that logic.
Ok, per you recommending and mentioning them again I have thrown on Spilt Milk by Jellyfish. And wow! I have been missing out they are great! Can’t wait to watch your upcoming video on them!
Yes! Yellyfish, so glad you mention them. Thanks for all the accurate (I think anyway) referrals and comparisons, brilliant podcast!
That riff is the start of Sunday Girl by Blondie
Panic are my fav band. Brendon’s voice is just beautiful. Also glad to see the tea drinking 🇬🇧
🛎 End
Music always borrows chord progressions and Justin's fantastic musical ear always finds them,great comparisons,love your videos Justin's Hawkins brilliant,thank you!
Brendon Urie is an amazing vocalist. His range blows my mind. His song writing was brilliant as well
I think he and ryan worked really well together. Once that broke the band was never the same and by themselves they arent as good
Oh, and 144k subscribers right now! That number has a personal meaning to me! 😊 And of course: Congratulations on that! 😀👍
How have we not acknowledged this song's debt to "Eleanor Rigby"? Also, that first image of looking out from beneath the brim of the hat is straight out of "Clockwork Orange."
Almost 200k followers already, congrats. Great Channel 👍
Thanks! :D
I just love your analysis of songs, structure, chords, melody - and here linking to Nirvana and Adele, Cardiacs, Jellyfish - enlightening!
"Funding my daughter's college fund."
And this is why we love you Justin.
On a side note.....their touring bass player Nicole Row is a fantastic player.
She really is! Love the current line up
She's amazing, and Dallon was Incredible too. That man is the reason I started playing bass
Meh shes ok its boring bass imo i only watch john entwistle everyone else apart from bruce and squire and king are boring to watch and play with no power or effort
@@jessefigueroa2682 - He was great. Got to be hard for her to replace somebody that is so admired and looked up to.
@@thecolourrose9022 - So....if a bassist isn't blowing their wad all over the fret board they ain't shit?
10-4 chief.
Brendon Urie's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody live was phenomenal.His voice is amazing. As is yours. Thanks, Justin
This channel is great. I’m learning so much music theory
I love watching these breakdown type videos.
Thanks!
Justin! Just got into your channel and I'm loving it! Lad, I'd love a video on Fontaines D.C. Have you listened to their music? I think they're fantastic. Lots of British rock bands from 80s 90s influence. Lots of love from Brazil!
Great one once again. Please do a Nirvana deep dive now that you've mentioned them couple of times. Particularly would like to hear your thoughts on their last recording You Know You're Right.
Wooow....Justin pulled out the Aztec Camera reference!! Very encyclopedic, my friend. I also hear references to "Life's Been Good To Me So Far", by Joe Walsh. Early 80s. The guitar strumming in that song seems lifted for Panic! Good job.
Just discovered you and The Darkness 3 days ago. You are a Rock God. I am blown away!!
Welcome to the dark side! Haha
What TOOK you so long??
Welcome to the elite brotherhood 😉
Hooked for life now mate!! I think the Darkness are great simply because they came along when general chart music was sh1t and bought back chunky guitar riffs, big solo's and dual guitars and Justin's insights on music is interesting and bloody entertaining 👍 🤘
where you been😵💫
I'm a huge Jellyfish fan and am so glad you mentioned them they're extremely underrated cant wait for your episode on them :)
Spilt Milk is one of those albums I still always listen to from beginning to end. Masterpiece.
One of the most criminally underrated bands ever
Yep, Jellyfish were the best band that never made it. Ex members are writing new material as the Lickerish Quartet - great stuff!
@@chelfyn yep I’m a big fan of Roger and Jason’s solo stuff too, both great but I do prefer Jason Falkners music slighter more
@@jackparrado3992 Yep Jason Did some great solo stuff after he left Jellyfish!
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday at Download, Justin!
Ooh you mentioned The Divine Comedy at the end, my favourite. Justin can you please do a video on them? Perhaps a song like Frog Princess with all its musical dynamics, or A Lady Of A Certain Age, one of the most beautiful and underrated songs of all time!
His accoustic version of "Ballard of Mona Lisa" is amazing. He is a massive Darkness fan as well as Queen!
I have always thought that Brendon has had an wonderful voice and the roads he choose to travel with the notes in a song, hits me spot on!
I love this man! Such good humour!
I do enjoy your encylopedic music knowledge- I've listened to Panic for years and had no idea of any of these influences! Interesting stuff- cheers Justin!
Like Sherlock Holmes who has to remember every detail of everything to solve the case.
There are so many retro tropes in that new Panic song. The good old chord I - vi and the intro hook remind me of The Ronettes classic “Be my Baby”.
I just saw that video of them doing your cover a few days ago and thought to myself "well if I'm seeing it he's gonna see it eventually" lol
I'm glad you mentioned The Divine Comedy right at the end! Ever considered doing a video on them(him)?
"could I buy an AR-15 please kind Sir"
"certainly young chap, here you go"
"could I also purchase that Darkness album with the naked lady"
"get out of here, how DARE YOU"
New to the channel, and it's great. purpose to let you hear something you may have missed (early aughts+from Austin).
The Shoulders 'Trashman's Shoes'
Their live shows were absolutely 🤯
Also, if you've never heard Lee Moses' 'Bad Girl', remedy that immediately.
And keep up the smirky work :)
Your ear for music is just wow, incredible
I love Panic at the Disco! and Brandon. Even before I knew they play a Darkness song. He has an incredible voice.
Back when they first hit it big they seemed to have a lot of energy and potential, but weren't quite "there" yet. I lost track of them fast ...
Did you hear about the new Queen song with the Freddie vocals!?!?! It's coming up in September, I'm panicking about that!!!! Yassss!!!
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
Thanks as always for the great context. Could I ask you with the prettiest of pleases for you to make a video on Courtney Barnett? She is an exquisite lyricist IMO. Her words are simple, yet poetic, and paint a vivid picture that often conveys very complex thoughts and feelings. Not only are her lyrics superb but the music itself is so soulful and beautiful. I'm a music lover but I don't play any instruments and I really understand the machanisms of music. So I really enjoy your take on the artists you review and would love to hear your take on the music of Courtney Barnett.
I think this is one of my favourite videos on your channel, Panic! At The Disco is one of my favourite bands, I can also hear Sunday Girl by Blondie in Viva Las Vengeance… can you hear it too??
Wow I loved P!ATD when they were first around. While it’s not my particular taste of music anymore, there really wasn’t anyone else that sounded like them at that time around 05, not that I’d heard anyway. They were also the reason I owned a top hat 😂 Can’t help but sing along to every word even today. Enjoyed your review Justin!
I don't care about scenes or trends good songs are good songs in my opinion. I listen to a big variety of music just not Country lol
Love the channel! Hoping to see a full episode on Cardiacs!
He already got you covered!
czcams.com/video/ZF0n1gI-d9w/video.html
Hello Mr. Justin Hawkins. Have you considered making a video of your reactions to people "covering" some songs by "The Darkness" I'm sure there must be some videos of that here on CZcams. I think that would be an awesome subject. Love the channel. Keep on riding again! Again...
I’m from Gorleston originally. Well done for your success…. Salute 👍
Gimme some lovin' is such an amazing song!!! I had to listen to it and come back to this video
On the subject of censorship; I imagine you have heard the story but I remember listening to radio 2 when permission to land had just hit the charts and they accidentally played ‘Givin’ Up’ instead of ‘I believe In a thing called love’. I was/am a big fan of your work so knew what was coming as soon as the intro came on (a great swap in my opinion, a vastly superior song, sadly under played) Ken Bruce must have gone for a comfort break or something so it played all the way through, I think it was about 5:30 in the afternoon though, so I imagine not all listening would have been as happy as me about the change! The DJ just apologised for playing the wrong song, and moved on. Classic.
I was about 20 when the first Panic album came out, and it really was something different if you were into that scene.
That album literally dethroned The Academy is, propelled Panic right past them, The Academy is was supposed to be what Panic became
@@AJAXSHOW Almost Here is still one the best albums of that era. They definitely lost their way after that.
Started watching Justin just yesterday and at first I found him awkward to watch but after watching a few episodes I totally get him now, I’m addicted now an have been watching for hours an more or less all of yesterday lol Keep these videos coming Justin Cos I can’t get enough, you gained a new fan today... ✌🏾🤘🏾
Every now and again I get choked up cos he's not doing panic anymore. I saw their second from past gig in the uk they were amazing
I was fortunate enough and had the chance to say hello to Jellyfish after a sound check on their Spilt Milk tour, had a giggle with Andy which was fun but you could feel that they all didn’t get along too well by then. The show was truly outstanding and is still one of my top favorites. Absolutely huge sound from 4 ppl.
I asked for this on tik tok it made my heart skip a beat when I saw it here thank you very much for appreciating my favourite band😂
So great to hear the Cardiacs reference! You know your stuff.
A friend and I always talk about how these pop punk bands made their catchiest songs out of effective use of dynamics, like you say about I Write Sins
Fall Out Boy were the masters at it we reckon, there's soft-loud dynamics in pretty much every song
Aztec Camera! Jellyfish!! Yeah, I'm just constantly reminded why I love this channel.
Love you Man!
Just found this channel, and it's great! Where can I find videos of "Justin Hawkins Rides"? I feel like I'm missing out on you early stuff.
Absolutely love their bassist. She is a great musician and beautiful human
Hey, Justin👋. Brendon goes full on Sinatra/60's lounge lizard in their song "Death of a Bachelor", I think you'd enjoy it. It reminds me of a more earnest version of the neo-50's/60's Swing & Big Band revival of the 90's, but it doesn't feel as tongue-in-cheek as those songs often did...
omg, I'd love if he did a video of DOAB! That'd be awesome! ❤️🔥
I was thinking about it yesterday while watching this video that if he were to see DOAB, what would he say!!!! Well he caught in just two songs the change, maturity and versatility of Brendon's voice, something which some haters fail to see, deliberately or not! I wonder if Justin would be surprised to discover this crooner aspect of Brendon's voice!!
Hi Justin..the antics the lead singer engaged in does remind me of Tht Cardiacs..my band supported The Cardiacs many years ago..we were blown away by them...the music was so tight and the stage act was so funny I was crying with laughter as the band opened presents and spontaneously cried as one of the band took a lead solo..such a clever band..oh and they all had pudding bowl wonky haircuts..so pleased they finally got recognised...btw Panic at the dico sound excellent..Great to hear melody again
Love the channel! Off topic of this video, have you listened to anything off the band Silverchair's Young Modern album? They used string arrangement by Van Dyke Parks.
