FNMTV mania is spreading like an infectious disease over here at Ft. Buzzworthy. And since they say we're partially responsible for ruining the attention span of the collective conscience (we = MTV, they = experts), let's recap:
First we took you behind FNMTV's closed set and made a quick stop to chat with FNMTV host Pete Wentz, who's got itchy new ink.
Then we pulled back the curtain on Pete's dressing room and showed you his rad, bad "Thriller" jacket and shoes that probably cost more than all of our jackets combined. Now, Tricia Romano's got more on Panic At the Disco -- the very first band to perform live on the FNMTV stage. Check out photos of Panic's sound check at the FNMTV rehearsal, and don't miss the show tomorrow night, obvs. It's got famous people, newfangled lights, and it's even got VIDEOS!!!
Panic At the Disco's on stage, goofing around, taking turns rapping, running through their songs and bits and pieces of others. They do a bit of "Brown Eyed Girl," (seriously), then some vague impression of a Jamaican band. Brendon Urie's, of course, in what's become his uniform: red-and-black striped tee, bowl cut, sunglasses.
It’s been an hour and they still aren’t done. So Ryan Ross kills some time by texting.
(More after the jump...)
A stage manager tells Panic that for their next go, they have to give 100 percent. "I'm only gonna give 135," Brendon says, drolly. Cheeky!
Panic's still rehearsing, so I met up with this guy:
His name is Shane Valdez, and he has the best job in the world. He travels all over the world with Panic At The Disco and is in charge of documenting every moment of their lives, including their documentary. He took mes on Panic's tour bus, which was quite tidy for four dudes. We snapped this pic on the way out:
It's almost time for final dress, and the fans are ready to tear through the doors like they're the streets of Pamplona:
I leave you with this:
