honestly, im not a very big Panic fan. the first time i saw them i loved em, but i was kind of a clueless noob in the whole scene and was just excited to find a new lifestyle. i think the hype kinda grabbed hold of me. they are good in their respective genre, really good. southern rock just isnt my forte as a fan. i think J.B. has a great soulful voice and they write quality songs. i just need more energy at a live show, theirs are pretty slow. personally, i think the new guitarist added something to them for me, but took away some of their original sound. houser was way more laid back and would gently move across pentatonic scales, very melodic. the new guy rips, hes more of your stereotypical soloist, IMO. but give them a shot, theyre good and if you can catch them with horns its worth seeing.
