It's a good thing you had the "Panic at the Disco" tag at the bottom, cos I otherwise would have had to google the name "Brendan Urie" to know what the hell is going on here, cos apparently I'm a thousand years old now.
i agree, that fall looks completely unnecessary. i guess we shouldn't be surprised that his reaction was over-dramatic. if it was like lemmy or danzig or something, shit would have bounced right off and they wouldn't have even blinked.
It pretty clearly hit his arm. IF it's glass I'm certain that would hurt but from what I understood they don't even allow glass in the festival. Plus, wouldn't it have shattered or broken when it hit the stage? Looked like it bounced to me.
You guys are actually HAPPY that he was hit with a bottle! Do you not see how ridiculous that it? You might not enjoy the music, but its music regardless, and some people do like it.
I, myself , am not a fan of this band, but it doesn't matter. The guy still had a bottle thrown at him!!!
ok ok, i'll own up to liking a bit of the ol' P!ATD, but god, that was great. I especially loved how he stumbled around for a second before falling down like a sack of potatoes.
god that was great. the best thing is that he totally faked the fall. you can see the exact moment when he consciously decides that he wants to fall over and milk it. the whole time he is down, while tasting urine from the bottle, he is thinking of how to talk himself up after the set for toughing it out and playing.
whoever threw the bottle needs a parade in their honor.
I dont care what kind of music it was, I think physically attacking someone, especially while they're performing, is pretty shitty. I feel bad for him - if you dont like a band at a festival, shouldn't you just, uh, walk away and find something else to listen to? I dunno, just seems like good sense to me.
Also, I'm sure I've seen a picture of Urie with a big black eye from right after that performance, right as he's leaving with his bandmates, so it sure seems like it hit him there to me - either that or there was a major eyeliner malfuction while onstage. If I can find it again I'll link to it.
In another article (it may have been in NME..?) the band's guitarist mentions that Urie was out cold, and that when he (the guitarist) got to Urie's side, Urie was unresponsive for about about a minute. Ouch, that sounds pretty bad, actually. Now I _really_ feel bad for the guy.
ok, i do not have a 20/20 vision but he clearly did not get hit in the head. and just about when i was beginning to feel sorry for him (well, sort of) after i first heard of the news.
and ha! john, i also noticed how the guitarist (is that the ryan ross?) looked at him like it was nothing... i mean these guys are longtime friends, right? and in situations like that, instinct will have you rush to make sure he's fine, but he just stood there, stared at him for 7 secs or so as if nothing happened... BECAUSE IT REALLY WAS NOTHING!
i therefore conclude brendan has no business being in the music biz, but he should do well as a dramatic actor.
Perhaps a piece of the bottle broke off and hit him in the eye then, because in the clip that's clearly his arm, not his eye. Or maybe there was a bottling incident after this. Or maybe they get bottled at all their shows. Who knows.
I still maintain that attacking artists is incredibly dangerous. But I'll back these above responses: it looks, almost undeniably, that he gets hit on the side of his arm. If you dissect this videoclip, you can see the white flash of the bottle -- and also see a clearly-visible black gap (his shirt) between the white of the bottle and the white of his pasty-pale face.
Oh well. It shouldn't matter where he got hit --throwing shit at bands can't lead to good things.
Alright I retract my statement: he got hit in the face. If you play the first few seconds frame by frame (ie just clicking the pause key) you can see it bounce off his face. Only at full speed does it hit his arm.
Jesus, just because his music sucks doesn't mean it's a viable reason for him to be a victim of violence. Yes, it was violence, no matter how minor. And even if it did hit him in the arm, someone still threw shit at a band that everyone paid to see (whether they liked them or not).
That being said, the only thing i commend this person for is good aim. Remember the Ron Artest melee? Remember what started it? A fan with impeccable beer cup throwing abilities. Yes, that was an embarrassment for sports fans, but again, i still commend the guy for possessing a fantastic throwing arm.
But yeah, don't throw shit at people, no matter how much they suck.
I heard "Wee-zer" too, so you're not the only one. Perhaps it was Rivers Cuomo who was the assaliant.
I'm still quite confused as to why the band continued to play after Urie made a very dramatic "ouch" gesture. Perhaps someone had to run backstage and turn off the audio track they were playing along to?
Uh...I hate this band, but that was completely unnecessary for someone to throw a bottle at him. He could've seriously gotten hurt. Not liking someone's music does not give you the right to throw a glass bottle at them. Whoever did that was an asshole.
I feel bad for him. No one deserves to get hurt like that!
And no, idiots, he was not hit in the arm. You are correct in the fact that getting hit in the arm would not knock him out. Too bad thought that he was obviously hit in the HEAD!
I feel bad for him. No one deserves to get hurt like that!

can we please start something to find the guy who threw the bottle and make him a little bit famous? please? his hair must be made of that of a unicorns and his skin of gold ...
Can someone please add a Three Stooges sound effect to the moment when he gets nailed in the head? And before he gets hit, add a boo track. At the exact moment he gets hit, change it to a laugh track.
one: no matter how funny it is, violence against women and children is simply unacceptable
two: i only watched it once, but it really does look like he got hit in the arm and went down holding his face like a motherfucking portugese soccer player. all drama.
...and right at the start of the clip, I think there should be the sound of someone saying all confused "Has anyone seen my bottle." As the bottle flies through the air at the singer, the guy should be saying "THERE IT IS!" in the tone that he's glad he's found it but it's getting away. After d-bag is on the ground like the stage floor is his mother, we should hear the guy in the crowd say "It's just plastic."
Because I read large blocks of this site in one sitting I realized that today brings us not one, but two concert "shots." In the Hives video from the Hey Ya post Pelle gets nailed (in the face or shoulder I think) at the 2:34 mark. Of course, he's made of steel so he doesn't break stride and then gives the audience a little "bring it on."
And in old school concert violence news...I worked concessions at the first The Who "farewell" tour. The only break I got before they went on was during John Cougar's (no Mellencamp, I told you I was old) performance. The moment I went into the stadium to check out the show he got nailed in the head w/a glass beer bottle. He promptly left the stage, returned 10 minutes later w/a football helmet on, cussed out the bottler and challenged him to come up on stage for an ass-kicking and then launched into "Hurts So Good." A priceless memory for sure.
If it was a nalgene bottle, or any one of those virtually unbreakable bottles, this should be made into a commercial. They would just need to add a little clip at the end with the guy who threw it getting it back and taking a drink from it.
Panic! at the Disco should have never played Reading then if they weren't prepared for hooliganism. That's like playing Ozzfest and saying "Please stop it with the moshing! Ay cravat!"
Honestly, this is tragic. I was just about to throw a shoe at him, but some guy about ten feet ahead had to go ahead and throw a bottle first. Now some person is getting all these stereogum praises sung to him for what was my idea. Oh well. These things happen. It would have been great, I tell you. I was aiming at the flat surface between his legs. Maybe next time.
i was there and it was a glass bottle which hit him just above his eye. so ha. and it is almost impossible to get glass bottles into the arena at reading, but being as it is the worlds biggest music event with 80,000 people then there is allways a way to get glass into the arena.

Posted by: suckyfucky at August 31, 2006 10:51 PM"
When it comes to punk, the Brits are probably more unruly.
ok, it seems like only a couple of people who were actually THERE have posted here so i'll add to the list. I was probably about 10 to 20 feet behind whoever the camera person was.
I saw the bottle hit him and thought exactly the same thing, that it had hit his body. But about a minute after the end of this video, he staggered to his feet and carried on the set (after getting the cut clean up) and throughout the next 30 minutes the right side of his face grew redder and carried on swelling. By the end he could pretty much only see out of one eye (which, to be honest, probably wasn't helping his depth perception for bottle-dodging).
I'm not a die-hard fan of PATD, I can take or leave them, but it took guts to get back up in front of 40,000 or so people who are clearly willing to endanger your safety and their own.
I have no idea why I felt joy when I saw Panic!'s singer get hit, yet sorrow when the lead singer of the Hives got hit by a ball(http://youtube.com/watch?v=DyRxsPorPtY).
I'm not a PATD fan, but I'm sure there were a few in the crowd that paid for a festival ticket just to see them.
I hope the guy who threw the bottle got his ass beat, because he's the same asshole that won't stop moshing during the slow songs, the same asshole that throws bottles at bands you do like, the same asshole that dumps beer on you and burns you with his cigarettes, and the same asshole that calls your favorite band a bunch of pussies between songs.
let's get one thing straight: hitting a bottle at somebody is lame... people who think it's funny are lame... people who comment about how cool it is/was are lame... so yeah, uhm... lame!
no, it was a plastic bottle filled up with coke. and it doesnt just hit his arm, it hits his eye. and it was not completely unnesacary. i bet you would fall if it hit your eye too. and he is not a pussy, didnt you see the picture someone posted and his eye was all pink?! and theyre music is the best. youre lame, and you suck, fuck you. plus, you have to give him credit, he finished the set.
Anyway, even if you absolutley HATE the band playing on stage, there is no excuse in the world that'd make it acceptable to throw shit at them. Hate the band all you want, but grit your teeth and let them do their thing. Is their music affecting your life SO NEGATIVELY that you absolutley need to be an asshole?
It's not serious now, but a lot of concert-goers are real huge bastards when it comes to bands they don't enjoy. Today a glass bottle gets snuck in, tomorrow it could be a gun. Now we're one step closer to another on-stage fatality. v_v People need to grow the hell up.
I guess this makes it OK to hit anyone with a bottle (plastic or not) just because they were doing something I didn't like. Then if they reacted in any way to it instead of shrugging it off and being a "man" I can just call them a pussy and laugh. You aren't jaded wangchung, you are right about people just plain being assholes. I hate those people at gigs too.
people, IT WAS NOT A GLASS BOTTLE, IT WAS A PLASTIC BOTTLE FULL OF COKE. but it still doesnt make it right. i am in lvoe with him, and hwnei saw this i almost died. seriously. you shitheads who dont like him can die. w.e
Ugh, where is all the hate coming from? I don't have a problem if you don't like a band - there are plenty of bands out there I don't like. That said, I wouldn't go to a show by any of those bands just to heckle them. It doesn't matter if it was glass or plastic, arm or head, this guy was onstage doing his JOB and some asshole decided to mess with him. Definitely not cool. Even if all the hipster indie kids say it is.
If they are happy they hit him in the head, why the hell did they go to their concert if they didn't like him? I think its ridiculous to throw a glass bottle at anyone.
It's nice to see SOME maturity on this...obviously pelting people with anything (glass or plastic) is awful, especially when they're just trying to do their job. I'd love to see some of the people who've left "Haha what a pussy!" comments in here take a glass/plastic bottle to the head/shoulder unexpectedly and not react. Plus wasn't there piss in that bottle? Nobody deserves that, whether people like the music or not. Oh and for the tally, I'm a Panic fan and I'm upset about what happened. So there, this conversation is closed.

There are pictures on the Internet that show where the bottle hit him. In case you losers don't know, there are high-speed cameras behind the bands on stages so they can find out what happened in situations like these. Brendon Urie was hit in the face and has a mean black eye. You are all ignorant motherfuckers who should learn the facts before ragging on the boy.
So that's the way of the world. Some people think the bottle-thrower is waaaaay cool and should be glorified. Some people think the bottle-thrower is an ass and should die a slow painful death. Great logic on both sides, eh?

no, it was a plastic bottle filled up with coke. and it doesnt just hit his arm, it hits his eye. and it was not completely unnesacary. i bet you would fall if it hit your eye too. and he is not a pussy, didnt you see the picture someone posted and his eye was all pink?! and theyre music is the best. youre lame, and you suck, fuck you. plus, you have to give him credit, he finished the set.

There was a picture of him leaving the stage on buzznet and his eye was swolen. so i think it DID hit him in the eye

I seriously agree with what wangchung said.
Anyway, even if you absolutley HATE the band playing on stage, there is no excuse in the world that'd make it acceptable to throw shit at them. Hate the band all you want, but grit your teeth and let them do their thing. Is their music affecting your life SO NEGATIVELY that you absolutley need to be an asshole?
It's not serious now, but a lot of concert-goers are real huge bastards when it comes to bands they don't enjoy. Today a glass bottle gets snuck in, tomorrow it could be a gun. Now we're one step closer to another on-stage fatality. v_v People need to grow the hell up.

I guess this makes it OK to hit anyone with a bottle (plastic or not) just because they were doing something I didn't like. Then if they reacted in any way to it instead of shrugging it off and being a "man" I can just call them a pussy and laugh. You aren't jaded wangchung, you are right about people just plain being assholes. I hate those people at gigs too.

Ugh, where is all the hate coming from? I don't have a problem if you don't like a band - there are plenty of bands out there I don't like. That said, I wouldn't go to a show by any of those bands just to heckle them. It doesn't matter if it was glass or plastic, arm or head, this guy was onstage doing his JOB and some asshole decided to mess with him. Definitely not cool. Even if all the hipster indie kids say it is.

If they are happy they hit him in the head, why the hell did they go to their concert if they didn't like him? I think its ridiculous to throw a glass bottle at anyone.

It's nice to see SOME maturity on this...obviously pelting people with anything (glass or plastic) is awful, especially when they're just trying to do their job. I'd love to see some of the people who've left "Haha what a pussy!" comments in here take a glass/plastic bottle to the head/shoulder unexpectedly and not react. Plus wasn't there piss in that bottle? Nobody deserves that, whether people like the music or not. Oh and for the tally, I'm a Panic fan and I'm upset about what happened. So there, this conversation is closed.

Panic at the Disco is a band made up of 18-19 year olds--I think it's kind of pathetic to pick on kids just starting.

There are pictures on the Internet that show where the bottle hit him. In case you losers don't know, there are high-speed cameras behind the bands on stages so they can find out what happened in situations like these. Brendon Urie was hit in the face and has a mean black eye. You are all ignorant motherfuckers who should learn the facts before ragging on the boy.

So that's the way of the world. Some people think the bottle-thrower is waaaaay cool and should be glorified. Some people think the bottle-thrower is an ass and should die a slow painful death. Great logic on both sides, eh?
I really feel sorry for the kids. That's one hell of a world they're grow
