Paramore



 “Just watched my wildest dreams come true, no one of them involving you”

Hayley, the lead singer of band, claimed this to be her favourite part of the Misery Business song but the audience sang along so loud that she just had to give in and actually pull someone from the crowd to sing along with her – honestly I think that girl had the best time of her life in that moment. That’s part of the new Paramore concept, and the show that they put together that has been criticised as being too commercial by the 2 former band players, the actual founders of the band.

I’m yet unsure if I like the new Paramore concept, as there was less singing – and with 4 albums out now they do have enough material to play for over just 1h15m – there was a lot of talking between songs, and the new tunes don’t seem to have the same strength that older ones. However, the feelings and emotions shared between the band and the audience were ecstatic so it was a really good evening – also considering that with most of the audience being underage, getting drinks in the bar was really quick.

(Alchie) Practicalities aside, the experience was really good. Paramore have good vibrant songs with a heavy base, so there are a lot of opportunities to jump up & down – the younger (and not that young) generations have that well covered – so there is a lot of adrenaline in the air to keep going and we laughed a lot. Then thanks to the new material, there are times to rest and – as one of the songs claimed – to think about the good things in life and no matter if one thinks things can’t get better, they actually do. Not that I can complain a single bit about my life but… if they only knew.
