Bro, Kristy's here.

Ross said the split was largely due to creative differences between him and Panic! frontman Brendon Urie. Seems Urie wanted the band to explore a more polished pop sound (like the demo they posted on their Web site last week), while Ross — and, by extension, Walker — was interested in making retro-inspired rock.

Or, as he put it: “Brendon’s more of a Peter Gabriel fan, and I’m more of a Ray Davies fan.”

lol, NO, ryan. you’re a beatles fan. ~juststatetheobvious.

Ross made it clear that the split was very much an amicable one. He said that while he hasn’t heard any of the new Panic! stuff, he wishes Urie and Smith well and still considers them both to be his friends (they spoke over the Fourth of July weekend). The same cannot be said, however, about his former boss — Decaydance Records honcho/ Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz — who seems to have clearly aligned himself with the Urie/Smith camp following the split.

“I haven’t spoken to him in a while, since this happened. I guess I’ve been meaning to call him back. He called me, but I’ve missed a lot of phone calls this week,” Ross said. “We’re not sure [whether Ross’ and Walker’s new band will be on Wentz’s Decaydance Records]. I’ll have to talk to him, but obviously from what’s happening online, I think he’s … he’s written a lot about them. I don’t know if they’re working together on their stuff. I’m not really sure, but it’s been awhile since we’ve spoken. It’s strange. It’s kind of weird.”

in other words, “I’ve been to busy to call him back. I’m too good for that shit now, ya know?”
and bro - if ‘something’ like the millionaires was just signed to decaydance, i’m pretty sure a beatles rip-off band will not be. ~just saying.

The only thing that bothers him, he said, is the way many Panic! fans have treated him since the split. It seems that he’s become the bad guy in the whole scenario, and he doesn’t think that’s fair.

am i the only one who finds him really whiney?

 i honestly don’t believe him. i saw an interview before around the time of a fever you can’t sweat out, and he said something like they all had different influences and all different music they liked and that that wasn’t going to stop the album. i don’t see why they can’t do that now.

i know exactly what you mean! like, i don’t understand why all four of them can’t all contribute their favorite style of music to an album. maybe have some songs that sound more like afycso, and let others like pretty. odd. tbqh, pretty. odd. bores me to tears now, and it’s just honestly not as good, music-wise & lyric-wise. but that’s imo. anyways - i just don’t see why ryan and jon couldn’t have a side-project, like what most bands do. look at craig owens - he’s the vocalist / screamer of chiodos, yet he lends soft vocals in his side project cinematic sunrise. and they can’t do that why…? ~justsaying.
