Call Out: "All those bands, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, they [are] only influenced by each other and Blink-182. How can that be a good thing? Emo, whatever you want to call it, is dangerous." -- Killers frontman Brandon Flowers
Response No. 1: "Do I think of myself as dangerous? Not at all! It's a shame that [Brandon Flowers] feels that way really." -- Panic's Brendon Urie
Response No. 2: "I think [the Killers] maybe tried to order drinks from us at the MTV Video Music Awards, because they thought we were waiters." -- Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz
Talk: Should Brandon Flowers chiggity-check himself, or is there validity in his condemnation of pop-punk? COMMENT
