On Beats 1 Zane spoke to Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco.
Brendon Urie Highlights:
On their cover of “Bohemian Rhapsody”:
I know right that’s a monster to tackle but it was so much fun. I love that song so much. We’ve been playing it live for a few years and it just made so much sense to try it.
It really just gave me a bigger respect for how that song was written. I mean the song was there, all the pieces were there. It was just figuring out each harmony piece by piece. But man, what a monster of a vocal song. It’s so crazy there’s just like thirty-four vocals stacked on top of each other. It’s incredible.
On Suicide Squad:
Oh man I was just so ecstatic. I got to see like half of this thing and all the scenes I was were incredible and it just made me even more inspired. That was even before I recorded the studio version. So that even fueled exactly how the studio version went. It’s just so epic.
On if he would ever dabble further into movies or cinema:
I haven’t had much experience but that’s definitely been a dream since I was a kid. I love just music in general and compositions for movies are so unique in the sense that they can just do whatever and it’s fitting a vibe. You’re looking at a scene and building something from scratch just by looking at a visual, you have to come up with this audible landscape of just ridiculous behavior and jokes and you have to make it sad and moody and happy and intense, I love that. I would love to jump into that kind of a world.
On feeling inspired while on the road:
We’ve been working a little bit on tour here and there, I’ve gotten a couple song ideas out. I usually just have a little portable thing. Nowadays you don’t need much you can kinda just do everything on your phone which is what I do I just record voice memos here and there. Some get used for the record and some don't. I like keeping that creative momentum.
