Panic! At The Disco have had a bit of a go at Motley Crue, saying, amongst other things, that the band have stolen their ideas, with bassist John Walker making the accusation that Motley Crue poached some of Panic!'s performers. Drummer Spencer Smith explained: "We took some performers out on the last US tour, and I we heard that some of them are now working for the Mötley Crüe tour, and they said that the reason they were hired is that one of the crew members from Mötley Crüe read a review of our show that said we pulled off everything that Mötley Crüe was trying to do. So I guess they said, "we've got millions of dollars, we'll just buy what they have!"
Smith continued: "When you're like, 50 years old, you can't come up with any good ideas anyway. You've just gotta pay for other people's ideas."
