You don't need to worry about not finding it because
A) I think it'll be a topic of discussion for a few days
B) If you're on a topic and look on the left hand side underneath the "CATEGORIES" bit you'll see "RECENT DISCUSSIONS".
I saw videos about Josh responding to The interview , hopefully they didn't answered back it would be endless :O
in one of the clips when the guy asks them why they think it was important to do it through video and one thing they said was to show that they are ok but i don't think they were
the interview was good but in some of the videos i couldn't stand the pained look on their faces.
I second @Eevie
@Eevie
I felt the same way.. :(
i feel really bad for everyone (Paramore and the Farros alike), but i wish we could hear from the others. the whole thing has just seemed like Josh vs. Hayley to me (which i guess Josh kinda made it that way). i'd like to hear more from Jeremy, Taylor and Zac. i'm glad they talked a good amount in the interview, so we know it's not just Hayley running the band and they really wanna do this, but i wanna know what Zac says about the whole thing. i mean, he hasn't said anything, so it seems like so far, Josh decided to leave and Zac just jumped on the bandwagon because he's his brother. and it seemed like he was close to Taylor, and Hayley obviously loved him to death. so if that is the case, that really sucks for him... but i guess anyone would feel the need to take up for their brother. i hope all of them are happy with whatever path they choose, though.
@ Nikki
same here, poor lil thing, =(
when i watched the video i just wanted to give all three of them huge hugs and tell them its gonna be ok you know?
@Eevie
I noticed too. It made me sad :(
awh gosh hayley looks like she is gonna cry in some of the interview clips
and im so happy that the three of them did this to be open with all of us and tell us the truth
I love Josh and Zac and when reading their statement i was mourning for Paramore's change but, honestly 9and people can hate me for saying this) I feel like Paramore will be better for the future than they ever have. The Farros will be missed dearly but it is a perfect story about growing up change, nothing stays the same and we know that, so we shouldn't get upset when it happens. You guys, Paramore, handeled yourself so tastefully it made me very proud. For all those belittling hayley, please open your hearts because it makes no sense. She fought for a band, just cuz her names the only one on a contract doesnt mean everything if the band is still veiwed as a band. i can see how it'd bother the farros, but at least they got to live a dream. If she was so "self centered" then Paramore never wouldve came to frution, it is evident how hard she fought for the band to be a band. She was offered the contract not anyone else so she gave them the chance of a lifetime. Sorry had to address that. The interveiw proved no ones saints, and i think Paramore, addressed beautifully how it was no ones fault and errors came from both sides, instead of pointing fingers. They were classy and honest and though some things still were answered i know if they ever do it'll be in the smae manner. I appreciate their honesty and respect for the farros. Classy job.
i'm just so happy that they have opened up to their fans about the whole thing, because it sucks to be left in the dark.
i wish josh and zac success with whatever they do, but now i'm focusing on the remaining members of paramore. and i am really excited to hear their new songs :D
@Mat Oh, I meant the (mostly) intelligent commentary by James Montgomery, Leah Greenblatt and Kyle Anderson that's part of the "show" that MTV produced. It starts at the first panel frame of the set you point to (your link points to the "extended" raw interview that starts at panel 14.)
I like how Kyle and James managed to work in comparisons to The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, No Doubt and the Ramones -- as well as basketball great Scottie Pippen -- as they were talking about band dynamics.
P.S. I agree with you on the live visitor commentary being lame, though I don't know if I would characterize most of those people as "fans."
@Martin
I didn't dare post it. The number of pathetic fans that said throughout the interview "Who is she? We don't want to listen to her, we want Paramore. Just shut up" and "Omg, there's 2 nerds! WE want Paramore! This is PARAMORE: The Last Word. Not NERDS: The last word" and shit to that effect.
It's safe to say that the amount of people that were saying similar things yesterday made me lose a lot of faith in the maturity of Paramore fans.
I consider Paramore to be a very mature band and to be releasing pretty mature music, it's a shame that their fans can't reflect such maturity.
By the way, there is both a packaged show *and* a raw interview. @Matt queued it up to the raw interview for us... but if you want to see the packaged show (which does have some reasonably good analysis and commentary) that is at Frame 1.
I liked that interview. The thing that I caught was when the interviewer asked them if they had contacted Josh and Zac since the last show in Orlando and they said no. I wouldn't want to speak to them either. Like Hayley said, I wouldn't know what to say or talk about because of that blog post.
This is a great interview and show. It's long, but worth watching. You will get a great Paramore fix, too.
Props to James Montgomery for traveling to Tennessee on Christmas week to make this happen, and thank you, thank you, thank you to the band for doing this for your fans.
P.S. The recorded show had two repeat segments when I watched it. If that happens to you, just skip those because there is more at the end.
That was good stuff to share with the fans. It gave me, and probably everyone else, a better understanding of things.
I'm watching it now. I usually dont read interviews but this one is important O.o
Yup it just started and it's letting me watch.

Looks like anyone will be able to see it, I'm in the UK and it hasn't thrown me out.. yet
Hey Matt when its up on Youtube could you let us know! I cant watch it either! but I agree with Hayley I think most of what the Farros said was unnecessary!
Bump.
This is streaming in 2 hours for anyone who doesn't know already.
@thesk8r11
Wow, you picked out the most important part of those links. Well done.
i CANT wait for the broadcast, and it looks like hayleys hair isent pink anymore :D
I'm just glad we FINALLY got to hear what they had to say about it.
i feel sorry for Hayley, Jerm and Taylor ....
i think this is all too much information. they are just a group of people going through a really tough time right now and they just happen to have thousands of people watching their every move! as much as i would like to know the reason why the Farros left and how the band feel, i think everyone should just take a step back and let everything cool down. i think everyone should just take a break for a month or two and clear their heads and then speak about this.
bout the corey thing, he rules!!:L
i think the whole thing has become a bit too 'messy,' like it shouls have been done behind closed doors and not in public which might tarnish the bands name
@Camii thanks for that. Josh was never in my opinion as well in Hayley's shadow. If anything- all the focus was always on Hayley and Josh. Just- Hayley connected with her fans more than Josh did, but that's his own choice. The two of them sing for the band, write the music for the band, play big rolls in the band so ya- attention was given to them. Plus, Josh is drop dead gorgeous as is Hayley so there ya go.
Then there's Jenna, whom none of us know all that well at all, but for her to post statements for Josh concerning how he felt about the band- why did it have to come from her?
I would love to read something from Zac because he played an epic roll in the band as well.
