Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz share a close friendship that has been well-documented over the years. The two musicians first met in the early 2000s when their respective bands were starting to gain traction in the music industry. They quickly bonded over their shared love of music and their unique creative visions.
Over the years, Urie and Wentz have supported each other's careers in various ways. They have collaborated on several projects together, including the song "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" from Panic! at the Disco's 2008 album "Pretty. Odd." Wentz has also produced several of Panic! at the Disco's albums, including "Vices & Virtues" (2011) and "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!" (2013).
In addition to their professional relationship, Urie and Wentz are also close friends on a personal level. They often spend time together and have even gone on vacation together. In a 2016 interview, Urie said of Wentz, "Pete is one of my best friends in the world. He's someone I can always count on for anything. He's been there for me through thick and thin."
Fall Out Boy's "Centuries" Music Video
Fall Out Boy's 2014 music video for the song "Centuries" features a number of references to Panic! at the Disco.
The first reference is a brief shot of a character wearing a Panic! at the Disco shirt.
The second reference is a scene where a group of people are protesting against a church. The sign that the protesters are holding reads "Viva Las Vengeance," which is the title of Panic! at the Disco's 2022 album.
The third reference is a shot of a character dressed as a skeleton, which is a nod to Panic! at the Disco's iconic album cover for "Death of a Bachelor" (2016).
These references to Panic! at the Disco in Fall Out Boy's music video are a testament to the close friendship between Brendon Urie and Pete Wentz.
