    These are just Josh's answers to some of people's questions in his blog comments:

    I just don't know who to believe about everything. Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor or you and Zac.

    "Believe me and Zac we wouldn't lie. We have no reason to."

    But why did you stay so long if it was so bad for you?

    "I thought I had to stay. I felt like since I had spent so much time and effort building this band it would be a waste to leave. I was wrong. You can't sacrifice happiness for money or anything in this world for that matter"

    What plans have you and Zac got for the future? Is it true Zac's gone to join a new band called Tunnel?

    "We are not sure what we are doing next. Hopefully something to do with music. We are praying that God leads us whre He wants us. No that is false Zac is not in a new band. That was just for fun."

    josh, i know im probably wrong but like listening to some of the songs like playing god does it now sound like shes trying to make it work? like, if i was her and i was trying to go solo my own i would've done it before now, i think the labels and maybe her dad from what you said have pushed her to do all these solo things and eventually as shes grown up shes realised shes better off in this band dont take that the wrong way or anything because you're honestly my biggest inspiration for playing guitar and being in my band now, i have a girl singer and we broke up because she go too big for herself but then we just realised we're all the same and we should just write music together like we started out doing. i know ive just rambled on and im not saying i think you should get band back together or anything because you're clearly happier now but are you and hayley still on speaking terms?

    "I never said that Hayley wanted to be a solo artist. Listening to Playing God makes me mad because the lyrics are so hurtful and unnecesary."

    i would really like to know if you'll keep this blog updated or its just for this short time.. i would really want to know if you plan to do something with music in the future or something.. its just.. i dont want to never hear something from you again. it would be sad..

    "Yes I do plan to keep this blog for a long time. You guys will be the first to know if what I do next. :)"

    why do the others stay in the band if the management treats them like this?

    "Because they dont see that they are being masterminded. Also they didn't start the band. They joined while the going was great. They're always had it easy. So they just dont care."

    ...i loved always hayley even i dont know her but now i dont know.. i dont like her.... but will you make a band with zac?

    ".. dont think bad about Hayley that's not what I want. Just pray for her. I hope I will make a band with Zac! who knows though."

    i know that the lyrics to playing god are extremely hurtful to you. but other people and your fans are able to relate to those songs, and it makes them feel satisfied, happy and empowered, ya know?

    "I just didnt support those songs anymore. I didn't feel right about it. I want fans to relate to my music but not in a way of resentment or anger."

    do you know anything about music's theory? i play violin and ive been sitting in theory classes for like 12 years and it just feels like it doesn't help me at all.. so my point is can i be successful in music world without knowing anything about music's theory, what do you think?

    "I have never had one music theory lesson in my life and neither has anyone else in the band Paramore and we were successful. So yes it is possible. Creativity is what God has put inside of us not what man teaches."

    do you think zac and the rest of the band will be friends "again" sometime in future.. i mean you were real friends before the band.. but on the other hand I don't think many friendships have to go through something like this.

    "I hope so and praying that we become friends again. But I do know that it won't happen soon.

    So that's it. I hope those would make sense to you, but for those who did not I can't do much now.. I edited some of the fans questions for just some important details about it because I know it'll take time for you to read it.. So guys what ya think? Did he mention something that is not good for you? Well at the last one he answered, did he mean that the rest in the band are mad at him and Zac? Probably it's true. I don't know. I wish they will be friends again after all. So, about the rumors that Zac will be having a new band that is not true! And, for those who are saying that Josh makes Hayley the bad character in the story, you are wrong! Josh wants the best too for Hayley, and so do Taylor and Jeremy. I don't really like people who used to be so fanatic and obsessed with Hayley but hates her now. They don't know Hayley's side, so don't be biased. I'm neutral. Whatever the other side says, Id still want hearing the other side too. So, you shouldn't blame Hayley, or Josh, Zac or whoever would it be. But anyways, Hayley's birthday was yesyerday.

People should really stop calling him mean. He was just sharing his side of story. And he doesn't want anyone to think that some of the band members are bad.

crushcrushcrush_13's picture

i think that was really good of him to answer our questions :)

@kiira

yeah i know what you mean but to me it just seems like he could have been a little more sensitive, i mean i found it kinda hard to take in all the stuff about the people and the band who i hbe followed and loved for the passed 6 years (not trying to sound like a loser with no life here :p) in my opinoin, how are we so sure he is tellling the complete truth - im not saying her is lying - but his anger or whatever could hve got the better of him.

@misguided_ghost

I don't really think he is trying to change our minds about Paramore, I think he's just simply telling us the truth even if it's a bit hard and we don't want to hear it.

misguided_ghost_11's picture

im still not sure about him atm. i mean he was in the band for so long seeming happy and now he seems to resent the other members (i know he said he didnt hate them but come on, you can still see a bit of bitterness in his comments). he said we were lied to by them but, personally, i feel lied to by him. he pretended it was all great which made it more of a shock to the system when he came out with all this shit about hayley being psyco bitch. dont get me wrong,i love josh and im totally neautral in this whole silly thing but i cant help feeling betrayed and that he dislikes the band we all seem to love so much, that he is trying to change our minds about paramore

Kiira's picture

Wow he was really honest wasn't he. :) I respect him.

Yes, this is from his blog comments from a couple of days ago. (http://joshnfarro.blogspot.com/2010/12/blog-post.html#comments)

Not really new news, but thanks for doing the service of pulling out just the salient quotes. (There are, like 560+ comments on the blog, mostly repeating same kinds of comments over and over again.)
