Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendan Urie was hit by a bottle seconds into his band's set on the Main Stage at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival this afternoon. While beginning their opening song, the singer was struck in the face by the projectile thrown from the crowd. Urie immediately collapsed on the stage floor, forcing the group to stop playing.

Folks who attend the Reading Festival take a certain personal pride in the stature in which the Festival has obtained. Over the years they have established an infamous reputation for being brutally unforgiving when it comes to bands they believe lack in the credibility to play their stage.

thank you Britain!

This doesn't beat what they did to fifty cent. Twenty bottles of human urine hitting the stage PER SECOND.

That's awesome. I hate that band.

More proof that no matter how many Oasis or Radiohead albums Britain buys, they still have far, far better taste than Americans do.

What can I say? Oh, I know.
We're awesome*.

*note: P!ATD are actually fairly popular around here. Nobody understand why I laugh at them when they say they like P!ATD.

Hate to be the voice of dissent, but as much as I happen to dislike Panic! At the Disco, there is something so repugnant about throwing a bottle at a performer that I don't just think this was wrong, I think it was repulsive. If people could throw bottles at performers they didn't like, most of my favorites would be in irreversible comas. Whoever threw that bottle should be in jail. Thugs at concerts ruin it for the rest of us.

It's funny, because every time I go to one of the better venues in Williamsburg, I always reflect that the community is strong enough so that they're not afraid to give bottles to the crowd, because if someone tried that shit he would be lynched by hipsters.

Yeah, that's just horrible. My stomach actually turned reading the enthusiasm in this thread.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #12 on:** 26 Aug 2006, 07:46 »

That's pretty awful,guys. Panic! At The Disco may not be the best thing under the sun..but your enthusiasm over the singer being injured,probably badly,is a bit revolting. The quality of the music says nothing about their characters.

Misereatur · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 Aug 2006, 08:05 »

That G-Unit video was amazing. I love you Britain.

Thrillho · « **Reply #14 on:** 26 Aug 2006, 08:23 »

You know, I hate Panic! with a passion, but I despise this kind of thug shit. Boo them the hell offstage, fine. But I think that attempting to cause serious injury just because you don't like their music is complete bullshit. This reminds me of that video of Nickelback where they stopped the gig two minutes in because someone was throwing rocks at their heads. I mean that was a Nickelback gig, for fuck's sake. Someone must have deliberately bought a ticket to throw rocks at Chad Kroeger.

What other festival has a night where rioting and arson is pretty much licensed? go us.

schimmy · « **Reply #16 on:** 26 Aug 2006, 08:49 »

Considering that's an inflatable bottle, he probably wouldn't have been in as much pain.

jcknbl · « **Reply #17 on:** 26 Aug 2006, 08:52 »

Nobody lost an eye. The guy got back up and finished the set (which is actually pretty impressive). If he had been seriously injured we wouldn't be having fun with this (and I wouldn't have posted it). So chill out, its just rock 'n roll.

I would not like to be crushed by a giant rubber imitation rum bottle, especially if it was filled with air.

Air is fucking heavy when it lands on top of you in one big heap.

Also, this sounds like a pretty fun festival.

How could it not be fun? It's a festival run by beer.

Yeah, a crappy bear which is the only kind you can buy there, at extorionate prices. seriously, they search people's bags & confiscate other alcohols. Last year on riot night they ending up looting the beer lorries.

Misereatur · « **Reply #21 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 07:30 »

I told a few of my friends about that. We all agree that it is awsome.

Sounds like everything turned out ok then. The universe self-adjusts, and somehow rioting solves all problems again.

I don't know. Their music is kinda catchy.

Misereatur · « **Reply #24 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 12:28 »

Bad music is allways catchy.

jcknbl · « **Reply #25 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 12:38 »

The music isn't whats catchy. Its his weird speak-singing. The music is actually completely devoid of anything interesting. The vocals get stuck in your head but they're still painful.

So yeah they're catchy, but not in the good way.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #26 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 16:48 »

I listened to them when the scene kids with obscure tastes in shit music liked them, and I hated them as much then as now when the scene kids with mainstream tastes in shit music like them and the obscure scene kids pretend to hate them but secretly love them.

Fuckers.

Thrillho · « **Reply #27 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 17:44 »

I'm sure I'd been hearing the name a lot for a while, I'd just never bothered to check them out. I was probably wise in that regard.

If you say "Scene" one more time, I'd begin to think you where one.

jcknbl · « **Reply #29 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 19:07 »

Khar, I have no idea what scene you're talking about but Panic! At the Disco used to be a Blink 182 cover band. Not only have they never been good; they've never been hip or trendy either.

Johnny C · « **Reply #30 on:** 27 Aug 2006, 19:29 »

THINGS I APPROVE OF THROWING AT PANIC! AT THE DISCO

Indie, punk, heavy metal, or hip-hop music magazines with the words "Better Than You" written on every page
Rave pacifiers
Bags of dog feces
Bags of human feces
Bags of feces (assorted)
Bottles of urine (it was funny the first time)
Vinyl Perry Como records (or other music made exclusively for bland white folk)
Mascara
Their own press photos with facial hair scrawled on
Weird Al Yankovic albums (burned or real)
Paper airplanes with "Give up" written in calligraphy
The book Songwriting For Dummies

What has scene got to do with being hip and trendy? The 'scene' down here at least, is a social group defined by eyeliner and myspace. That is the term used by themselves.

I realise there are quite possibly other scenesters in other places, listening to other shit music, but this is what I encounter in the real world.

haha, well put. I have that feeling about a bunch of bands. Luckily I hated this band from the start.

Also, about 50 Cent being barriaged with urine bottles... amazing.

Great music (in general), shit drinks at insane prices: £3.20 for strongbow!

Handy hint: befriend a disabled person, get the special access wristband, use the special access gate, and lo - you don't get searched! Much quality alcohol was consumed in *Glass Bottles* (zomg!) on the disabled viewing platform.

I was in the crowd to see this all go down, and it was pretty bloody vicious. Panic at the Disco may be shit, but at least they don't go around chucking bottles in peoples faces.

Ultimately, the joke was on the dipshit who threw the bottle, since everyone (including the people who hate panic) walked away with a ridiculous amount of respect for the singer for getting up and carrying on.

Even better was when someone bottled Son of Dave in the cabaret tent, and Ben just ripped the guy to shreds. Then the guy got ejected from the festival.
