I've never considered them Emo. Magazines/newspapers call them emo because they think it's cool to be emo.

Ew@the new radiohead comment.
Radiohead are a million times better than Panic! will ever be. Obviously Brendan thinks doing Radiohead covers will get him some respect. Maybe he would.. if they didn't suck.

I read some of the interview, and he said he covered Radiohead at reading so if someone there hated them, they would at least like one song. But covering Radiohead makes people hate them even more.
There are a lot of bands that are inspired by Radiohead (Muse, Coldplay, Bloc Party just to name a few) but there is a difference between being inspired by Radiohead and trying to BE Radiohead. Simply adding electronic effects in random spots in songs doesnt make you a musical genious or creative or like Radiohead.
"yes we're an emotional band"
Erm, they do know what emo means right? I Never considerd them that "emo" but the people that mostly listen to it are.
Yeah, they're really stupid, because they really should get it into their heads that they AREN'T Radiohead, and they never will be. No-one will ever make anything that sounds like Radiohead, because it's just impossible to mimic their sound.I read some of the interview, and he said he covered Radiohead at reading so if someone there hated them, they would at least like one song.

Especially their post-OK Computer stuff is impossible to copy. The Bends is copyable, and OK Computer can be as long as its hidden and changed, but Kid A and past is untouchable.
The only way to be like radiohead is to try not to be like radiohead.
It means emotive hardcore actually. Emotional is too broad, anything can be emotional.

everything is emotional. to make a song, you have to put emotion into it.

On three,
we're jumping from this ledge,
this build's tall,
I'm sure we'll wake up dead
But I still love her..
