muy interesante

lol I always knew there was more than one woman in this band

haha. could have done with out the bible quotes but still an interesting read. i do feel kind of bad
for him but that's mainly because after seeing hayley's disappointing tit pics i no longer care.

Like I figured, they're just mad cause Hayley gets all of the attention.

As soon as he started quoting bible verses I stopped reading. What a pussy.

As soon as he started quoting bible verses I stopped reading. What a pussy.

You know you're butthurt when you start quoting a book.

He did get a little preachy with the way he was using them.

a woman kicked us out of the band

hold me jesus

Honestly, I saw this band one time (granted it was recently) and I could tell that Hayley was a douche and that Zac and Josh weren't happy with the band. She is good, but damn. That just sucks. I would have quit a long time ago.

Pretty interesting, could see that happening from a mile away though. And dcha, thanks for the ignorant statement, I didn't know being religious made someone a pussy.

what ebay said

"And dcha, thanks for the ignorant statement, I didn't know being religious made someone a pussy. "

Haven't been to a church lately, have you?

And definitely not surprised by all the Bible hate here. The dude was preaching but I mean it's what he believes... Let him quote it.

hmm, this is interesting. kind of confirms what I had suspected went on behind the scenes with this band.

Shut the fuck up before this turns into a religion argument. I'll be fun at first, then turn annoying, then Davey will delete the whole thread.

please, let's start a religious debate on a Sputnik thread. we all know how intelligent and productive those always are here.

eternium beat me to it

and I keep thinking the title reads "Farro Brothers Explain Shit" for some reason

That was a good read and it makes me think differently about Hayley.

idk I've always suspected that Haley might be a bitch

I say good on those guys.

i bet if they put her in her place and told her to make them a turkey sandwich this story would have turned out way different

^ LOL

Well i'm in a band with a chick singer and he hits the nail on the head.

women.

holy shit that is a lot of reading for me to commit to paramore...

wouldnt doubt it...good for them

as a christian...the religion part is a bit over the top. but yea, pretty crazy. I imagined their band formation and friendships were much more fairytale like hah. And although i didnt think it turn into the hayley willams project...this coming out def. shows that it is.

"Like I figured, they're just mad cause Hayley gets all of the attention. "

well they couldn't do nothing about it

Hey, let's not turn my words into something they aren't. I didn't say he was pussy for quoting bible verses, (though he is a pussy for quoting bible verses) he's a pussy for being such a god damn pussy.

I FIND THIS ALL TO BE QUITE HUMOROUS

^

"Hey, let's not turn my words into something they aren't. I didn't say he was pussy for quoting bible verses, (though he is a pussy for quoting bible verses) he's a pussy for being such a god damn pussy."

you just contradicted yourself dumbass

Yea, okay teenager.

"I didn't say he was pussy for quoting bible verses, (though he is a pussy for quoting bible verses)"

alex wolfe is a fucking man

Prove my point some more.

dude who cares about the bible or what people say about it
read about how butthurt these guys are that hayley's hot and they aren't

see?





owned

Yea, okay teenager.

I think he did that on purpose to be humorous.
I for one didn't laugh.

hayley would be hot if she didn't have that mile long gap

...lol

U guys mad?

your idea of a mindfuck is seriously warped

you guys are dum

he's right (about the semantics) but he's still stupid just for carrying on the argument

Right now you're not sure if serious.



fucked

if fucked my mind you meant made yourself look dumb then yes my mind is completely, 100% fucked

It's just a little fun.

Wait there are other people in this band besides the chick?

"It's just a little fun."

no you just need a life and friends

I think you're just being mean now.

holy shit

what a pair-a-morons.

awesome

I honestly really respect them for this.

Not going to change much

this is great news

sucks that they were miserable for so long, but they should have quit sooner.

The contract shit is fucked up, but not surprising. Hayley doesn't sound like too bad a person from this, tbh, but everyone around her sounds pretty lame.

We'll see how the hired-guns mentality treats this band down the road. Works for Megadeth!

I think it sucks that the values of the band changed so much. You definitely can tell from
their latest album that the message is less positive.

Reading this makes me want to write a review actually for Brand New Eyes.

that was honestly a good read.

Good interesting read. I never really cared for their music. But honestly can you really make assumptions about people based on their religious views. sounds like a cheap shot to me.

The statement was going so well until all the god stuff. Ah well, it did reveal some things I never realised. For one - just how manufactured the band is.

and how much of a bitch Hayley is
if her tits were better I might let it pass

Honestly though, does this surprise anyone?

nope

She probably didn't realize she was being a bitch tbh. If these guys had just grown some balls and were honest and approached her about it.... well, who knows?

I'm sure they did at some point...

GUYS, I HERD THIS WAS ALL IN GOD'S PLAN.

I agree with Wyankeif about the tits

forever...I don't think SHE has the balls to have done anything about it. Sounds like she's practically owned by her parents and management.

Religious quotes were just a little unnecessary, not because of the fact that they're kind of bothersome, but because they don't "preach" in their songs, so, they seem to be out of context. Anyway, it seems Hayley will do just fine without them, it's HER band, nobody ever doubted that.

Yeah, I figured that boiled down to her just being really young and stupid and naïve, but who knows.

Gotta love corporate rock.






Just wait, Haley Williams will have a very successful solo career. That's mostly all their silly fans cared about anyway.

Vakuola - no it's not preachy but there are connotations

"We are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence...
Give us life again,'cause we just want to be whole. Tower over me."

There are more. The band had shared values and a message to convey, and now Haley wants to wrote song lyrics completely contrary to those things.

It really figures that Haley Williams would be the problem. I assumed that first thing when I heard that these guys left the band.

I love their reasoning

She was reading the bible and saying things like "well i disagree" and "no, that's not right". Right then we knew we needed to pack it in and get the fuck outta dodge

Deviant you're missing the whole point.

I'm not gonna immediately take their side and say Hayley is a bitch. It's possible that all these things happened, in fact they probably did. But Paramore started when Hayley was what, 14 or 15? Honestly it was probably mostly the work of her insane bible belt parents and record execs looking to take advantage of her. 15 year old girls aren't intentionally manipulative. Just dumb and immature.

As for the bible lyrics. She was right to tell them to fuck off. Thats just normal band shit. She's the lyricist.

the bible quoting was a bit lol but still an interesting read

"...then Davey will delete the whole thread."

Eternium, I think you may be getting me mixed up with Dave.

Like Against Miik! suggested, when young girls start doing anything professionally so young (think tennis players, etc...), their parents can be very very controlling (for more than one reason).

looks like hayley was the one playing god...

Moral: music is not the way to express your religious views.
How many band examples do you need?

very interesting read

I wonder if hayley will just go solo or if they'll try and maintain the whole 'paramore is a real band' thing

hey i hear Mike Portnoy's free......

Deviant you're missing the whole point.

I heard the blog is a fake but I dunno what to believe lol

uh-oh.

http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2010/12/ex-paramore_guitarists_blog_is.html

even if you look at the blog ... it was created in december and only has 1 post.
hmmmmmmmmm ....

Because it was specifically created to announce their departure I'm sure. No way this is a fake.

the whole 'blog is fake' thing is probably just atlantic or whoever owns paramore now trying to cover it all up

ROFL

i almost started crying during this

yeh i have no clue what to believe lol

I don't get why they didn't quit earlier if this was the case. I mean, if it's money the only thing that motivated them, then they had what was coming. the bros are so butthurt right now, getting all preachy...

Yeah, pretty sure this is genuine.

But if it WAS fake, that'd be pretty fucking funny.

This seems pretty genuine.

I feel bad for the guy, seems like he got screwed over.

That whole statement didn't surprise me at all.

William's can always chop and change the backing band and keep the Paramore name, sorta like Megadeth without all the Speedballs. I doubt either of the statements are actually truthful.

Oh, not this story again.

Guys seems like such a pussy right from the start

"I got a call a while after that from Hayley telling me that her manager said that Zac and I were invited to be back in the band (the band we started), but not Taylor and Jason because they weren’t good enough in his eyes."

Shouldve fuckin grown a pair and told her that then

never say paramore and megadeth in the same sentence again... ever

Unless it's Paramore are better than Megadeth, obviously.

Oh I'll say it, I already said it several times and just photoshopped Mustaine's head to William's body.

Confirmed that the statement is real... It is linked on one of their wife's blogs. jennalfarro.blogspot.com

FARRO NEEDS A SNICKERS, HE'S ACTING LIKE ARETHA FRANKLIN

interesting read. at least we know the whole paramore thing really was a ruse. didn't like this band to begin with though. the singer has disappointing tots and seems like a total cunt.

Well, I was dead right when I said that Hayley was to blame, meh, I kinda feel sorry for the brothers now...

"paramore sucks, but this is an okay read! wait, nvmnd, bible thumper."

this is super funny. the way that she signed to atlantic without telling their fans is roflxcore but if I had ever cared about this band at all honestly that would kinda piss me off. good ol grass roots movements lolz.


also the comments on their page are too funny as well.

"I almost cried when I read this.. Thanks for making great music" like the farro brothers are some musical geniuses ha ha. Oh well another shitty band bites the dust.. Maybe Potony can be their new drummer?

idk why everyones hatin so hard, id leave that mosquitotit bitch too, from the sound of it they were consistently getting the label shaft

He could really use a wish right now.

who cares

"Maybe Potony can be their new drummer?"

1. Portnoy
2. Zac is a drummer

He could really use a wish right now. [2]

Obligatory I'd tap Hayley comment.

''Just wait, Haley Williams will have a very successful solo career. That's mostly all their silly fans cared about anyway.''

^This

I never saw The truth never set me free as a biblical contradiction. just saying that she had to make the effort for the truth to set her free. But whatever. Bitches will be bitches. Hayley is still awesome, even though she's now coming across as the Axl Rose of pop punk.

He could really use a wish right now. [3]

Surprisingly good read.

It was pretty interesting until he started talking about Brand New Eyes and the bible. The lyrics on Careful are some of my favorite off their discography.

lol at all the retarded bible bashing comments.

Sounds like drama....who knows who's telling the story accurately without emotions distorting their perspective. They're a manufactured pop-punk band with no punk. Furthermore the quality of a band is measured not just by their music, but by their reliability, consistency and the dynamic the members share. Like their music or not, looks like these guys got marketed, managed and packaged up the ass from a very early age, didn't get a chance to develop as a group (or run their course to an eventual end) and they destablilized under the pressure.

RT @JordanETID holy shit, Hayley got special treatment!?! Well, i'm SURE they would have been JUST as successful without her

My whole thing still is... Why didn't they quit a long time ago? And what is even funnier... the dude wrote about lots of shit that went down about her manager being a douche and her parents as well and everything being about hayley and then he's like... oh and then we dated for a year and a half. Why? That just complicates things more... and surely you could have gotten in other girls pants...

he had an opportunity to tap dat ass and took it. it's what any man would have done in that situation.

^ You don't have to date to "tap that ass." And any "real" man would understand as much.

But I guess with him being his Bible beating self (and I am a Christian), he felt the need to date her first.

he seems pretty fundie, probably his way for rationalizing premarital sex.

exactly

^ Agreed.

Mike Portnoy should just join and then change the band name to 'Progmore'

Paranoy

who cares.

[Paranoy]
^ LOL

Band sucks. Who cares.

lots of douchebaggery filling the thread...
but yes, I'd have to say that I believe most of his statement because I though Hayley had the potential to be a bitch, and I'd have put hayley's dad right on his ass with a swift kick to his head!

What's sad is that no one will really notice they're gone.

And they'll probably just end up as momentary angst fodder for Hayley's lyrics, which will hit the radio and become a success.

gg.

So this story is keeping me super entertained. Paramore is a manufactured band by a major label? Who woulda thunk it?! FBR being nothing more than a front for Atlantic is hardly surprising either.
Still, this shit has been going on for years.

lol still talking about this

the bottom line is she's a bleeder and she'll get her way in the end

Bands are signed to majors and then downstreamed to smaller labels or label subsidiaries all the fucking time. hell even The Bronx, the epitome of quality hardcore punk in the 2000s, had that happen with them when they were still on Island.

10 points to these guys too. So they might be bible-bashing dickheads with a lot of growing up to do, but they sacrificed a guaranteed cash cow and put their money where their mouths are.

yeah that's how bad they longed for attention

good thing they're getting it now

bible-bashing? wrong word. you meant bible-thumping.

Redsky,
The Bronx were a bit different though. They were always straight up about being signed to Island and used to make jokes about it in interviews. There was no mention of existing contracts with majors with these pipsqueeks. They were pushed through FBR to seem like a real band, when they were, and always have been, manufactured pop music with slightly distorted guitars.

Ah, yeah. That's what I meant. Too much whisky for breakfast.

^The Breakfast of Champions!

I thought it was a normal, unfortunate but accepted phenomenon that the vocalist always gets the most attention...That's why they're called the frontman(/frontwoman?).

Wait, wait, wait..... You mean....... You mean to say that paramore isn't just Hayley with hired guns.....

Mind equals blown

i bet a lot of bands are manufactured and it just rarely gets uncovered.

This man speaks the damn truth!!!!

I quite enjoyed the part about how Haley cheated on her wife, WHILE SHE WAS DOING CHEMOTHERAPY. Crazy news guys!

FUCK ALL OF THEM!

damnit I didn't think anybody was gonna post this news, I was gonna post it later tonight:p It kinda is messed up how Hayley/Hayley's family/the managers handled everything though

Hayley's a bitch. She pushed her band's equipment cart into me while I was standing in line at Warped and then yelled at me to "Get the fuck out of the way." Kind of turned me off to the band

I'm completely serious

I quite enjoyed the part about how Haley cheated on her wife

this is so facepalm worthy

Anything that brings Jesus-y pop-rock music a step closer to being done is a good thing.

"God is going to do great things with us"

I was kinda nodding my head until they started quoting the bible then I was out.

tl;dr

something about the dumb whore being dumb

also:

Why didn't they quit a long time ago?
