BRENDON URIE on what makes him notice a new band

So, you're a band and you want to stand out?

We asked Brendon Urie what would personally compel him to recommend a band, and the live show, he said, "is a huge, huge factor."

Additionally, he says, "You've gotta have a message. You've gotta be saying something worthwhile that someone is interested in. It can't just be all about yourself."

Learn more about what Panic! At The Disco are up to in our new issue out now!

ironically Panic! was signed before they ever played a live show

When he's sipping on that champagne in the beginning, he looks like he could be the young, dangerous billionaire tycoon that inherited a successful casino from his deceased grandfather and lives in a penthouse overlooking the Las Vegas skyline.
