Panic! At The Disco - Sad Clown (Official Video)

[@holdbackthesun]

That one line at the beginning hits so hard, though. "I thought that I had friends. I thought I even liked them, but now I'm thinking maybe not so much." Story of my 2021, honestly.

[@AmandaIbraimovic]

I love this man so much! He's one of the most talented humans to ever walk the earth. Those who can't see this are just not ready to understand his art. I hope P!ATD goes back performing one day ♥

[@barbarabishop9362]

Confession: I'm 70 and had never heard of Panic! or Brendan, until I saw a cover of "Emperor's New Clothes" by The Bass Gang and went to check out the original. And promptly became addicted. And then saw VoicePlay's "Panic! At The Disco in Four Minutes (Parts 1 and 2) and became even MORE addicted. So over the last few months I've been binging on a number of Panic! videos. So ... I was rather excited to see a new album, and I've now watched a number of "official videos" (not all, not yet) and hands down, this one startled me the most. And I had to google translate a few lines after the fact. Now that I have some idea what's going on I'll watch it again and hope I can follow it - it's INCREDIBLY fast-moving. I don't understand the people who say Brendan has "lost it," or other negative comments. Of course not everyone likes every song - and that's ok. But the man has some very talented chops and I love his stuff.

[@barbarabishop9362]

And what's with the guy in the far left during the opening scene? I can't see him too clearly but he appears to be wearing shorts along with very modern socks and shoes..., along with a fancy shirt and hat. Not to mention at least two women wearing panniers but not, apparently the skirts that are supposed to go over them. Someone was having fun in the costume department. :D Weird. ETA: I'm not even going to address the guy wearing the halter top... Let's just say ... no, never mind.

[@rooster-bh6td]

anyone who thinks brendon urie is a bad person just read that on tik tok or twitter. has he said some dumb shit in the past? absolutely, haven’t we all tho. he apologized and learned from his mistakes. the problem with cancel culture is people want to exile you from humanity because of your past and you’re not allowed to try to become a better person. the bullying on tik tok and twitter is fucking sad, people who have nothing better to do then try to make themselves feel better by putting brendon down.

[@EvanLauOfficial]

Yep, if not for those allegations and hatred, Brendon would’ve made this album much more differently.

[@PawnCrownedQueen]

Im honestly so confused as to what he did that could be deemed so bad.

[@moose3347]

With the news of the band's end this album really takes on a new life about the struggles that Brendon has been going through. It really foreshadows the end of Panic. It's revolting the amount of hate he has received on tiktok and twitter in recent years and I think he's trying to protect his family by moving away from it all. Hopefully he will return to music in later years and by then the tiktok teenies will have developed a brain and leave him alone. Also, sad clown is 100% about the bullying he received and how he's expected to just make music and keep smiling despite dying on this inside. It all makes so much sense now...

[@sstvms2023]

It all makes sense now. He probably figured this would be the final album as Panic, and I’m glad he can get away from all the toxicity to raise his child. I can totally see him coming back after 4 or 5 years of parenting.

[@decadeofmcfly]

The moment he continued to support someone who was very publicly canceled for unforgivable things to his own fans, he made that choice to jeopardize the public perception of his life and his family. He made that choice. He's said many unbecoming things publicly and is lucky he kept the favor of the public for as long as he has. He never made an effort. That's on him.

[@stewartmclong1067]

This album is so slept on. Watch in like a few years when everyone “rediscovers” it and acts like they loved it from the beginning. I think this album gets better with age. It’s reminiscent of 79s & 80s and music around those times. I wasn’t a massive fan of most of the album on release but after listening to each song a few times and getting the rhythm I love them. Their unique. And he did always say he’d shake it up. Fever and Death of a bachelor are still my tops but VLV hits in such a unique and fun way. It’s not taking itself to seriously, it’s just a fun collective of songs. Say it louder, don’t let the light go out, god killed rock and roll, sugar soaker and something about Maggie r awesome

[@leonbateman1529]

Well. Having only heard a handful of tracks by P!ATD I really didn't know what to expect. After hearing 'Don't let the light go out' on the radio, I decided to check out the album 'Viva Las Vengeance'. I'm an Iron Maiden fanatic with a heavy love of The Darkness, Muse and Volbeat and I've got to say Viva Las Vengeance has floored me. Compared to the earlier stuff, I've been compelled to listen to the entire back catalogue, the vocals are what seems to be a different vocalist, tapping an unused region of the vocal range and unravelling the next evolutionary step in Male Vocal. The harmony layering is blissful, the energy is chaotic yet controlled and the arrangements are simply astonishing. How can the band go from writing 'I write sins not tragedies' to writing this?? It's unfathomable. I'm absolutely breathless. There's obviously an incredible band in the early works but if you were to go back in time and play 'Viva' to early P!ATD would they even believe it was them? Sadly, I've got a feeling that this is going to go way over the heads of the average music listener and that's a real shame but it's totally their loss. I'm happy that I've found them and they're all mine. And maybe a few million like minded people can have them too. 😉

[@thchruan]

So so so so so agree. The ambition and musicianship of this makes it one of the most exciting and daring major act releases in forever. I mean this single alone is BONKERS and yet a lot of aging emo fans claiming they love the artist but demanding the same nostalgic fare album after album to remind them of their youth is predictably sad. The sheer joy for making music and art you can feel radiating off this record is immense! I really hope he just keeps going for broke. The evolution of his talent on this record is immense!

[@leonbateman1529]

@@thchruan I agree. You can almost hear him evolve on every song. Tapping into a rich vein of melody, creativity and diversity. The album is challenging, joyful, divisive and beautiful.

[@hopestewart4432]

If you like Brendon's vocals, might I suggest Mariana's Trench? Their albums all sound different as well and if I'm not wrong, Josh Ramsey, from mt, has an even more impressive range than Brendon. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Brendon's voice. Josh is just so incredibly well trained.

Absolutely ADORING this new album. Listened to it in entirety last night and it's what I wish every album was; A collection of snippets of feelings and moments that tell an overarching story. Panic! has done it with this album and then some - the clear progression of musical genres and eras throughout the album double down on the journey of one's life. It turns a realistic eye on the past that while nostalgic, isn't rose-tinted, and then delves into the present and the pitfalls and struggles of trying not to repeat mistakes. I love how the sound dredges up older Panic!'s sound and mixes it with the voices of each era the songs tumble through (Meatloaf, Queen, Bowie, etc.) all the while layering on top the theme of the artist struggling for the sake of and at the hands of their art. 100% not what I expected for this album (was totally thinking it would be a similar vibe and style as the last two) but very much happily surprised!

Respected the art of it all but I was thinking it wasn't very listenable, not a go to P!ATD song. Then I listened to the song, just audio vs watching the video with it. And then it clicked. I'm confident I am never going to get this song out of my head and I want to hear it again and again! I love the huge theatrics of it all. It was just a lot to swallow at first! Keep being creative, adventurous, and bold. That's why P!ATD is still relevant to this day! Started listening to you when your first single hit, and haven't missed a day since. Can't wait to see you in concert again! ❤️

I'm the opposite, I find the song to be pretty bad by itself, but just the god awful dancing with the half assed outfits is so fucking hilarious. Like don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the peak of comedy, but just look at 1:28. Brendon was just on the ground, doing some weird ass shit, not difficult to do nor even pleasing to the eye, but at the culmination of it his background dancers throw their arms out as if presenting the most glorious thing ever seen. Hell one of them has like a pog face going. I love that guy. It's so ridiculous and I'm glad he chose not to take this song seriously in the video.

I’ve always had high expectations for panic but this album and the sad clown music video blew my expectations out of the water!!! The choreography, the costumes, B’s vocals. Truly astonishing!!!!!!!!!! 🧡✨

[@jackskellington412]

So you always had high hopes huh?

[@x-7599]

"High hopes" Ngl, all we got the reference

[@dangerousvillain7278]

As u should, this album snatched my wig

[@ElectricSoul828]

This album is getting me through my depression.

[@kirabealer7623]

This man can do anything. Loving all the songs so far B! I’m so proud of you!!!

[@julissabedoya4992]

I love how in 1:16 Brendon seems to stop acting and is having fun with the dancing

[@sval012]

THE VOCALS ARE INSANEEEEEEE

[@walawalaWallows]

OMG, this song was AMAZING live in Las Vegas! he even did the lil steps in the beginning 😂

[@thankuslay6766]

FLOP TOUR?

[@TheYorkz]

@@thankuslay6766 SOLD OUT EVERY CONCERT

[@eg4767]

honestlyyyy love this song so much

[@elliefurler]

best song on the album, whoever agrees breathes

[@francogugiato5400]

This is why Brendon is the GOAT in my books. No Freedie, No MJ, No Sinatra, No Wonder, No Elvis. Brendon is the GOAT, and I don't give a damn what anyone saids

[@gilelvariado4877]

Amen bro

[@thegandolfos]

You are a musical genius, buddy! Can’t wait to see you again at The Garden in a few weeks!

[@jjtheperuvian2622]

I love how Something About Maggie transitions beautifully into this incredible song. I remember listening to the album and noticed this change and absolutely loved it!

[@cupcakelove3025]

THE ALBYMM IS OUT NOWWW BEEN WAITING 2 MMONTHS FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@vampireinthekitchen]

I'm honestly worried for Brendon's vocals if this gets on the tour set list. This song and some others on Viva are incredibly demanding.

[@agalo3631]

They might lower the songs a step or two while live.

[@goopegoop]

He abused his voice all the time. He literally drinks sk much that they’re bleached and refuses to get coaching. He doesn’t care.

[@Ibam323]

Lol, your kidding me right? A Fever You Can't Sweat had way tougher vocal demands. Almost every song had him doing intense falsetto in high octaves and then use his head vocals. I promise you this dude can comfortably sing his entire range for long periods of time at no cost to him or difficulty.

[@Ibam323]

His only issue is he sings in his lower range by lowering his Larynx which causes his chest voice to get raspy at times and comes off like he is belting rather than singing. Which could naturally damage your vocals and locks off his natural vibrato.

[@Syller77]

@@Ibam323 then again, he still had fresh baby boy teen vocals. Im sure as with all people his voice deepened alot. Imo compared to now, he sounded like a very handsome squeeky toy. And my boy does like to abuse him poor vocals

[@AsaSunod]

This is such a masterpiece!

[@maddie0807]

One of my fav songs❤

[@justlaurenclare]

Baz Luhrmann: "How much of a fever dream do you want for this music video?" Brendon: Yes.

[@RocaNation365]

How is this not more popular?! PATD! Is way underrated given the immense amount of talent. Seriously, look how much work went into capturing Brendon's insane vocal range, the choreography, and stunning visuals and camera work!

[@maddie0807]

He is amazing...I don't understand why he is so underrated😢

[@user-sz4ci9lj9s]

Underrated? were you possibly born after like 2008 lol? PATD has been VERY popular for a VERY long time. You couldn't escape "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" for the life of you on radio or TV back when it first aired, and even when they did a 180 right after with their Beatles-inspired "Pretty Odd", they were still immensely successful. Even after all the original members left, PATD became even more well known lol (maybe not as creative after Ryan and Jon left, but it didn't matter for their popularity). Brendon made this last album more for himself than anything and that's why it seems a bit less mainstream than his last few albums and has less views. Still, it doesn't matter at this point because he had enough of being in the limelight and is retired now anyway. This was a farewell album where he wanted to just enjoy the process of making his own, weird, quirky, and fun music, regardless if anything would top the charts.

[@RocaNation365]

I'm 30. Grew up with them. They never got the same hype, recognition, awards, views, etc as some bigger names around the same time, like Green Day or Blink 182.

[@user-sz4ci9lj9s]

Also, the wear and tear on his voice, especially during the last tear, had been showing. He was pretty awful during his last tour lol.This needed to be the end for PATD unless they pull some reunion together with all the old members in 10 years.

[@user-sz4ci9lj9s]

@@RocaNation365 I mean, they were popular for way longer than either of those examples lol. No one has given a shit about Greenday for 15+ years and Blink 182 the same, but high hopes has like 800 mill views now and played everywhere just 5 years ago. About the awards, they don't really mean shit in music lol. It's not like winning a sports championship.

[@clau_sing_]

Listening to them always brings me back to my teenage years! Brendon sounds better than ever ❤️

[@arachniweasel]

i know you lying

[@EMYITSOFFICIAL]

This album is making me quake in my non-existent 👢👢's!! Another: amazing/well-made/inspired/ vocally advanced album!! Killer all around!!

“My custom baby seal leather boots!” (Megamind)

[@dangerousvillain7278]

Spill, you're right

[@Nunes_Caio]

Someone more competent than me please tell me the "is this all there is" was not a F#5 in mixed register, if that is to be correct I simply cannot fathom just how incredibly powerful his voice is

[@alyssam6708]

I am absolute blown away by the work Brendon put into this. It’s my favourite album by far

[@giselleleandr0]

I’ll never get tired of it

[@wowwow8617]

This is the closest panic ever got to replicating a fever you can't sweat out

[@EvanLauOfficial]

Sad Clown is slowly becoming my favourite song from VLV.
