Panic! At The Disco bassist Jon Walker has slammed The Killers for launching an attack on his band before they had even met. The American rockers were targeted by Brandon Flowers in a scathing attack on bands placed by the media in the 'emo' movement - emotional rock performed by musicians from comfortable backgrounds.

Walker fumes, "Brandon Flowers? That f**king guy can rot in hell!"

Drummer Spencer Smith approaches the situation a little more cautiously, although he doubts the wounds will ever completely heal.

He says, "The whole feud thing was odd because we've never even met them. A year ago they were the big hot band from Vegas (Nevada) and a year later we're the big hot band (from Las Vegas), and I think he said in his apology that he was jealous. I still like The Killers and would like to meet anybody in the band, but this might be the little thing our bands have."
