Brendon Urie throws “what can only be described as a tantrum” (NME, October 2006)

Spencer: Didn’t some fans try to follow your mum home?
Brendon: Yeah! Somebody tried to follow my mum home ‘cos she had a Panic! sticker- ‘My son’s the singer of of Panic!, or whatever.
NME: She had a sticker on her car? Surely that’s asking for trouble?
Spencer (laughing): You’re kinda asking for that!
Brendon: I told her to…
Jon (interrupting): Who made it?
Ryan (laughing): Your parents made this.
Brendon (testily): I know.
Jon: Didn’t they give one to Spencer’s mum too?
NME: So let me get this straight, your mum had a sticker on her car?
Brendon (rising from his seat): Alright, go fuck yourselves. Later.
Ryan: Come on, you asked for that.
Brendon: Suck my dick. Dude, I was about to explain it, but then you guys started talking…
NME: Come on- sit down and explain it.
Brendon (sitting down): No, I don’t want to explain any more.
NME: Please- it’s a good story.
Brendon: It’s a bad story. No, it’s fine.
Jon (trying to lighten the mood): The first version of the sticker had their home address on it too, which is the funny part of the story. Then they reprinted them.
Brendon (sarcastically): Yeah, totally, totally. Anyways…
And with that the singer lowers his gaze to his Sidekick mobile phone and refuses to speak for almost a full 10 minutes. How, like, totally emo.
