It's not Hayley's fault that she gets more attention! It happens in all bands. Everyone focuses on the singer. Don't blame her! She didn't go ahead and wish for this to happen and if josh and zac think that its just a hayley thing, well then thats their loss. I bet if novel american gets big, the only reason people would know josh's name is because he used to be in paramore! Sorry, Farros, but you guys need to realize that Hayley didn't make herself the posterchild for paramore, the media did. And this isn't my opinion, its just the way it is. I love you josh and zac, you guys are completely talented, but this is just how it works. The singer is always upfront. (Love you Hayley, Jeremy, and Taylor!!!x3)

@Rox-Star You're allowed to have an opinion, im not saying you can't but heres what i think. YES, media and fans are more focused on Hayley. Reasons being she's female, she's the lead vocalist in a succesful band and there's not amny female leads around anymore so media are all over her. As for the magazine shoots, think about it, 5 people on the cover of a magazine? That would looked crammed and silly. The reason they chose Hayley to be on the cover, she's FRONTING the band. Why put one of the guys when people usually know bands by the lead vocalists. Unless there big fans. Taylor and Jeremy aren't in it JUST for money, how dumb can you be. Yes, it's how they support themselves financially. But there in it because music is there passion, music is what they live for. Jeremy tried doin normal jobs but he hated it because music us what he has interest in. Hayley never wanted a solo career. She despises anyone who makes Paramore all about her. She won't ever be able to picture only her names in lights. She loves being in a band and for your information heres what Hayley said in an interview; "i love being in a band, icouldn't see only my name up in lights. When i was little i always wanted to be the drummer so i could be as far away from the front as possible" that pretty much is saying that she would rather be the one getting least attention. As for the Atlantic label situation, they offerd her a solo carrer, she rejected. She told them that she wont leave the guys. The band is everything. I dont despise Josh and Zac, but really, if they had alot of problems with Hayley they should have left alot earlier. To me, i think they took the ride to fame to get a fan base behind them then they left to go to another band thinking their fans would follow making novel American just as popular to have a competition with Paramore. That is all.

Team Zac and Josh all the way. Ever since Riot its been more about Hayley than anyone else. She's the only one on magazine covers, doing solos and winning awards. Every magazine that has paramore just has a picture of Hayley. Yeah the chick is pretty and can sing but she should have just done a solo gig rather than join a band. Everything from the time they started to now has only furthered Hayley's career, no one else. I would have more respect for her if she just came out and said she's a solo artist rather than be sneaky about it. And for her information it is it is important that fans know who is signed to a label. If she was sooo into being a band she would have made sure that it was everyone that was in the band on that label. It sucks to see people side with her just for the fact that she has rad hair and she's pretty. In a way I feel this interview was done just so they can make Zac and Josh look like douches. Taylor and Jeremy is obviously still in the band cuz they want to get paid. Obviously they aren't going to disagree with Hayley. In my opinion Hayley Williams just turned into another idiot who thinks they've become bigger than the band. I give this band another year before they break up fully. It sucks cuz I actually liked this band but I guess it was bound to happen. You don't have to like my comment but everything I typed is true if you think about it. Hayley needs a reality check; one person is not a band.

Please don't misunderstand me, I just found this band prior to Christmas 2010, was planning to see them live and this crap broke.Will they survive? are they still a band, oh sure....So is Evanescence,you know that group with Amy Lee, you remember Amy Lee and Evanescence ? get my point? yeah right. Don't judge, pick sides or stop being supportive Just go to the FBR website, click on President and ask him to get off his a@@ and make some effort to keep this group intact if possible. I want to see the band live and I want to see the WHOLE band.

Contract problems...relationship problems, growing pains, homesickness, creative differences, just plain tension amongst a bunch of very talented 20 somethings? Where was the road manager or the person from FBR/Atlantic that makes their living off of this band?, You know the person who could solve those problems or at a minimum mediate or get a counselor involved. BNE, Riot and All We Know are three of the best cds I have ever purchased, The sum of the parts is greater than the whole. Email FBR and ask them to contract each band member so they can have some security in exchange for their effort and talent, Ask FBR/Atlantic to have the band attend some quality group therapy to see if issues can be resolved.

Since the exit statement I've been kind of feeling like, you know, all i knew was falling, and it had been hard to listen to your music, but after watching this I realized; as lond as there's Paramore, I will listen to it and love it with all my heart. Good luck, Tayleyme :D Come to Finland, okay? :)

COMES THE PREACHING AFTER IN THE MOURNING yes it was mr josh who has stayed all these years because of the paramore not himself how about Ms Hayley who decided after some years of silence to speak out against the farro , just to give an example for the care of future victims , while faro still being at paramore , tolerating her , tolerating him (just say) not to disappoint the fans , how sweet while at the same time keeping working together on video clips towarding him , how patient she HOLD IT AGAINST HIM , all these years just to make the positive lyrics so much IRONY still having FUN or playing having fun?

Family. What is a family? What makes a family? and more importantly can you count on a family? If something goes wrong in a family does one simply get up and leave? or do you stay and work out your differences because you love the people that make up your family. This is just "my humbly opinion and one that i believe in". As a faithful admirer, I will continue to love this band through thick and thin even if "all we know is falling".

As much as i love josh and zac , if it makes them happy like you sed thenn thats whahh matters. paramore should still go on , good luck for the future ! x (:

Thanks guys for being so honest with us. You explained everything we wanted to know :) Josh was really harsh with his statement. He wrote things we really didn't need or want to know. I still can't help missing him though. He was such a big part of the band and despite what he wrote, things won't be the same without him. He seemed so happy, I don't know where it all went wrong. Well, what's done is done and if he and Zac are happier doing something else, so be it :)

... HellsCallinME I agree with u :)) TRU is being Bias with the farros @ tru - why dont u view an angle that would be fair for all .. in fact hayley just showed her true intention .. that is for the sake of the band ( IN CASE U DIDNT KNOW That TRU ? .. u know this site DOESNT NEED YOU Tru HAYLEY and the rest are seemingly in the right place this time im not bias with them im just saying what majority thinks ... GOOD DAY to all !!!! Be happy always
