Paramore: Best Band Ever

Twilightning

You knew in your heart it was pisstake when you read the title. If you didn't you should probably go drink some bleach, or something. :pac:

Why is there such a ****storm made over this band? I've encountered literally tens of hundreds of Bebo groups dedicated to the band or Hayley Williams alone, it's ridiculous. I like a couple of their songs of their last release but beyond that they're mediocre. Her voice isn't memorable, as is the case with the rest of their music yet their celebrity status is heightened to that of Metallica during the late 1980s - early 1990s, maybe even moreso, which is a frightening thought in itself.

You know there was a genuine thread not too long ago with nearly exactly the same title.

Jesus, I didn't actually know that. xD

I wasn't sure if you were referring to that thread or not with the title.

I've never heard their stuff though so I can't comment on the band either way.

One of the lucky ones so!

Of all the albums they have, I would listen to the Riot one. A few good songs in it even though I wouldnt usually be into that genre of music. After hearing a few songs off youtube I thought I would buy and would have been more dissapointed with more higher profile albums such as the lastest Kings of Leon one.

TheLastBaron

I've gotta say, I appreciate them as a band, regardless of their genre. Of course, they're a bit emo and all, but if you're mature enough, surely you'll be able to see past that...? Borrowed the Riot album off a mate, it was actually decent, like. Catchy, well-written songs with a fairly unique sound. Ya can't really find fault with that, like, the world needs bands like Paramore just as much as it needs bands like Mastodon; there needs to be a balance.

Dante

Lol, I was about to put on my rage hat!

Although I do love their first album....got sick of Riot when it got big.

Catari Jaguar

It's melodic, it's energetic, catchy. Decent drum beats, pretty guitar riffs, fun to shout/sing along... (one of my GH4 faves to play). And speaks to it's demographic (teenage girls that like the Twilight saga) Hayley is a good role model too.

Some of the songs are rubbish, but I really love I Caught Myself, Emergency, Crushcrushcrush, Misery Business and Miracle.

If I'm looking for some easy, upbeat music when I'm out walking on a sunny day I play them.

I don't like the band but they must be good then if they're getting all these groups etc made for them on bebo.

One or two of their songs are always getting stuck in my head sometimes. They're catchy, they're popular and they've a big fanbase it seems.

I don't like lots of bands but people do and I can't change peoples opinions. I respect musicians for making the music they want to make even if it doesn't fall into my preferred music category.

I don't like this whole band bashing people seem to do. Really annoys me. Fair enough if you don't like the music you don't have to hold a personal vendetta against all of their fans.

Good bands make it and get lots of fans. Get used to it.

False logic my friend

Anything gets a group on bebo these days :pac:

D.Q

They are fallout boy had that Patrick guy been born good looking and female.

Dont particualarly hate or love them.

Catchy well writen songs, and a good image, as well as a serious market for them to target. They will always sell by the bucketload.

Google "Roe Effect". If enough of these kids do slash their wrists, eventually their numbers will dwindle over the course of a few years and we won't have to deal with it anymore.

Gotta agree, every lad I know cringes at the thought of the music, but would still tap Hayley Williams

Stev_o

They need more music videos.............preferably with Hayley wearing less clothes........also no need for any of the other band members........also forget the whole music part of the video aswell.

Ah, kerrang! do a new 'top 100 bands' every 100 issues, it seems. It used to annoy me too, but then I realized they just rate bands in accordance to what their readership ( 16 year old girls) like at the time. It's about selling magazines more than anything else. Same with the tv channel.

As for Paramore, I like them. I won't apologise for it!:pac: I know they're not 'real punk' ( afaik they never claimed to be), but I like their songs.

I also like Pantera, Slipknot, Death Cab for Cutie, Down, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemey...:D I need both heavy and poppy rock in my life.

Unless the majority of their fans are lesbians then I don't see the need for so many groups since it's usually 16-year-old girls that start them in the first place. :pac:

I found a good Photoshop of Hayley naked and started posting the photo in comments on the Bebo groups in question. Bebo swiftly removed them each time I posted them anywhere but the reactions I got from the fans ranged from "OMFG you skank that's so not Hayley!" to "Jesus, where did you get that? Can I have a few more? "

best metal band currently on the circuit

I'm surprised some emo kid hasn't arrived in here yet saying.

"OMG they're loike THE best band EVA!! They're loike THE most original and bested band EVA!!! You just don't understand loike. Go and listen to your rawr rawr metal loike"

And then my reply to that will be... I will gladly go and listen to metal. Arch Enemy to be exact where Miss Grosso has got more balls than that Hayley one has. Think that's the singer from Parmore's name.

Angela's got bigger balls than me, and I use mine like a beanbag chair.

Not emo.

Pretty dire, in my opinion, but singer is pretty talented.

And she ain't bad looking either considering her hair is always on fire.

I wouldn't even consider disagreeing on that point, and I quite like red hair.

Agree with you totally about the magazine but I have to disagree about the tv channel.

The tv channel is different.

The tv countdowns have the same formula each time:

random mash up of videos, finished with a top four of
Smells like teen spirit
One
November rain
Sweet child of mine

They just vary that last combo.:rolleyes:

Bubs101

They are not that bad. People are making them out to be Daphne and Celeste or something. Their songs may be poppy and some of them are bad but Misery business is great and your one can at least sing and the band knows how to structure a song so they are not shocking.

Just because they are fashionable to hate doesn't mean you have to
