Figured I'd post this, as I know there are at least some Paramore fans around here. In case you hadn't already heard the news, Josh and Zac Farro left the band last weekend, a move that a lot of people saw coming (particularly from Josh). Shortly thereafter, Hayley and the remaining members of the band posted a statement on Paramore's website, which can be read here: www.paramore.net/blog/announcement/Then days later, amidst rumors that perhaps the band was covering something up about their departure, Josh and Zac go ahead and drop the following bombshell: joshnfarro.blogspot.com/So, according to Josh and Zac, Paramore has been a mere fabrication, a group driven entirely by a label for the last seven years. It's sort of hard to digest, especially when it seems as though there has always been so much animosity with Hayley, and yet she and Josh dated. I think there's a discussion to be had here, not just in the context of Paramore, but with the music industry in general. Thoughts? Who do you believe? |

Honestly, I've got a feeling someone (either Josh or Hayley) had some sour grapes and finally let them out and Josh and Zac left because of them. That's just my take though.

Hmm... their newer stuff sucks. Riot! isn't the best album in the world but it doesn't suck. On the other hand, All We Know Is Falling is just meh. |

Everything I've ever heard by them sounded commercial, so I believe it.

Blake Sennett and Jenny Lewis were the better rock couple

Who cares? They were never a good "band" to begin with anyway.

What did it say? I clicked the link and there was nothing. That they were formed to pretty much vault Hayley's career and the other guys, all of them, were interchangeable parts, all sucky parts mind you. Even if its true, Hayley has a TON of talent, and those guys probably are replaceable. As long as they continue to make music, I dont care if its Hayley, Bert, Ernie and Elmo in the friggin group |

Hayley's got nice boobs, but she seems like a bit of a bitch. I guess I'm joining all the 15-year-old girls in believing the Farros on this one.
I guess it's good they found their integrity and did something about the way they'd been treated, but it's a shame it took them three albums worth of money to do it.

Anyways, since I'm a Hayley mark, I'm on her side with this. I agree with Shawn. [L.L.L.B.D. Shawn] in that I think there were problems that were being held back and bottled up and it [they] finally came out and Josh and Zac left like wussies. Every band is going to have problems. It's the good bands, the strong bands, that work through the problems and persevere for the sake of the future of said band. |

And all that they are saying is true, they were being manipulated for Hayleys benefit? How do you defend that? Ionno. Maybe "wussies" wasn't the best term. I should have worded it "Josh and Zac left instead confronting the problems head-on and working them out." If there were problems for years before, and they continued to make music, why was this situation any different? I think that this is just a case of he said, she said, and none of us will ever really know the real story. ....and you have Kesha in your sig. Well spotted. Not relevant at all, but thanks for noticing. ...sure it is. You said that it seemed like Hayley was a bitch, well I'm drawing a comparison. You essentially called Hayley a bitch, casting a negative light on her, but you have [who I think is] a bitch in your sig. Relevant. |

Well in situations like this if you "confront the problem head on" it will result in you being fired. I don't know if you ever worked with any bands, but I've seen it plenty of times with local or regional bands that have some sort of smaller deal based around one member of the band. They get their way and if you do anything contradictory to that way you're booted and replaced. |

Zac Farro always seemed like the coolest, most down to earth dude ever. Oh well, as long as they still make music i'm cool with it. Kinda strange cause they seemed so happy as a band.
