A note from Josh

  • hey guys,
    I hope everyones doing well! I am enjoying some time off here in franklin and definitely looking forward to the superbowl! Go Saints! Hehe. I've got some news to share with you guys so here it goes..

    As some of you already know, I am engaged! So, as weird as it is to stay behind, I need to take some time off to plan the wedding and everything. Because of that I will not be joining the guys on the pacific rim tour coming up. I feel really blessed to be able to take this time off, especially in the midst of this record cycle. The band has been extremely supportive and gracious to me about all of this which has made it a lot easier. Justin York, Taylor's brother, will be filling in for me as a favor. He's an awesome dude, you all will love him. Trust me, I know it's strange having someone "fill in" for me. I dont like it anymore than you guys do, but this is the most important thing in the world to me and I trust you all will understand. The Lord has blessed me with the most amazing woman and for that I am eternally grateful. I can't tell you guys how excited I am to get married! The thought of it blows my mind every day!

    I will be back soon! Don't worry! :) I love you guys. Thank you so much for all of your support and love. What you guys do for me and the band is out of this world. No one has fans like us. I shall see you all very soon.

Im Sad to see you and Zac go but thats just life aint it! everyone who plays along to your Epic Guitar Playing will be sad to see you go Lets hope Taylor will carry on your lagacy. Guitar has become my life in the past 7 months ever scince i baught my first guitar i have been doing my best to play to Paramore songs you have written and let me say i cant get my head around on how good you are and someday i will be just as good. Never forget the passion you have had for the stage,Guitar and your band. Rock on Chris.

i love paramore since I saw them on MTV here in peru Peruvian -2007 ... if I'm good .. I love the group I care more for you for doing a good duo hayley .. not by whether they were or not you wore in chemistry songs .. and I imagined that jeremy ... was bringing bad things .... I loved it when your brother to your videos with taylor ... which now question the credibility of Taylor to continue staying in a group that he first wanted to ..... but I got enough to leave the group and read your letter I so angry .. he know that Hayley was a bitch .. I wanted to be like her .. some say I can not lie ... but .... I trust your word ... but in a certain way I see their videos and I see no bitterness or anything like that .. I can speculate a few things .. but I do hear of this Carata rage today ... when I buy the tickets paramore first row of lima-peru .. it hurts so much knowing that they would not come but now it hurts more to know that you think that way .. hayley really if there is anything that you withdraw or Deveria EXAGGERATED ... SAY ... WHY ARE NOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HATE HAYLY and remember even ever bother to ellla .. was your girlfriend or left as it is .. or was your friend ... in this letter very badly let stop her and her family .. giving good incapié to hate and I love paramore dule ..... but I know that so far things are ..... or not? please write to me at my msn (avrilperedai@hotmail.com) whether it would be so kind to take away the bitter taste .... spent all my savings in this concert and is very painful to me that my idols are a farce I have only 18 years. . and it's frustrating for me to hear these things
