Panic! At The Disco respond to The Killers over emo comments

Panic! At The Disco's Brendan Urie responds to The Killers' criticism of emo bands, saying they are harmless, while the band tour the US.

Panic! At The Disco have responded to The Killers' recent comments about the dangers of emo. As previously reported, The Killers had a go at them in a recent NME interview, with guitarist Dave Keuning saying "All those bands, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, they're only influenced by each other and Blink 182. How can that be a good thing?" whilst band-mate Brandon Flowers added: "Emo, whatever you want to call it, is dangerous."

Panic! At The Disco singer Brendan Urie has now responded to that. "Do I think or myself as dangerous? Not at all! We're really harmless and innocent in a way. It's a shame that he feels that way really."

Panic! are on a US tour at the moment, and Urie, speaking to NME.com, added "the tour is going really well. We're really enjoying it. Everything has gone really smoothly which is really good. We didn't get a lot of time to prepare, but so far so good."
