They might have another local band opening that just isn't listed... but maybe not. In that case I guess it would be kinda short. I'm really hoping that TP gets to play a few extra songs though... A longer set from paramore wouldn't be too upsetting either. =) and damnit I wish i had a laptop so I could upload my videos and stuff right after the show. I probably won't have everything ready until sunday night. =(

Ask Zac if he has any advice for a drummer who just started a band and is about to play their first show.

yep I'll be leaving here on the 29th and driving to my cousin's house just outside nashville (i think the town is called jolton or goodlettsville). Im gonna be staying there friday and saturday and just driving into the city for the show. That would be cool, but at the same time hayley is only just beginning to sound normal again, so I wouldnt want them to reverse whatever healing she has accomplished. But if they do decide to lengthen the set list, they would probably be sure that her voice is in good enough shape to handle it without doing any harm.

That is a brilliant thing to do.... And probably the only way to remember the exact setlist from a show. Every time i go i think that I will be able to memorize the set list and write it all down right after the show... but it never works. =/ so yea im gonna be leaving for nashville in two weeks from tomorrow. I cant believe im going to see them again so soon. It doesnt seem real yet... and it probably wont until i actually get there. I just realized that this will be my 5th time of seeing paramore in about a four month period. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my priorities in life.

damn I had forgotten how soon they were gonna be doing the show in lawrence... its so weird to think that I would be in Kansas right now if they hadnt added the nashville date. I was all prepared for the trip and everything. well guys have fun at the show and please post some reviews and such afterwards.

Holy poop. Those videos are so good, easily the best ive seen from this tour. Awesome quality. Hayley is sounding so much better. And once again, the ending of my heart is like.... words cannot describe it. its just too good. Especially with such a great quality of video. I could watch it all day. also if you get a chance to post specifically what model of camera you have that would be awesome, because I want to buy one.

Actually, I did have one where Hayley died. Im not gonna go into detail about it though. It wasnt good. There are times when, about a week or two before and after seeing a Paramore show, they will be in my dreams pretty much every night. I would guess that I've had around 30 or 40 paramore dreams... but they arent always just about the band, sometimes they will just make a small appearance in the dream. And theres only a few that I remember in detail so I'm not gonna start trying to explain any of em... Unless someone really wants to hear about it but they never make any sense.

I suck at coming up with questions, but ill give it a shot. How has your musical style changed (if at all) in the songs that you've written for the new album compared to those on AWKIF? Do Hayley and Josh come up with all of the ideas when writing songs or does anyone else in the band help out with the creative process? Is there any chance that we will have meet and greets in future tours? Does anyone in the band have any special talents besides their musical capabilities? What has been the most memorable moment so far on the headlining tour? Some of these have probably already been answered, but I havent seen them so i apologize.

You are absolutely right. They are more deserving of it than any band I know of... it just seems like this happened so quickly (assuming this is the beginning of their big break).

So wait... does this mean they are going to play the video on MTV? yea how did they get a higher spot than RHCP and all those popular bands... I mean I do think that paramore is better than those bands... but they havent been around nearly as long and it just doesnt make any sense to me. I'm really not sure how to feel about this at the moment. I might need a few days to fully process whats happening. I know its great for the band, but honestly right now the thought of paramore on mtv is making me feel rather sick.

hmmmm.... well maybe I will have to try and hide my camera... like... somewhere they won't be likely to look for it.

I cant believe the show is only 3 weeks from today! I'm so not prepared for this! I haven't even started paying for my last paramore roadtrip yet. =/ I'm sure it'll all work out somehow... it always does. I tried emailing people at Rocketown to ask about bringing cameras to the show and I haven't got any responses yet, and I think one of them blocked my email address. =/

Wow. I love your video of This Providence playing My Beautiful Rescue. Your camera has pretty good audio quality. I haven't seen many live vids of tp, and I never got any because I saved my memory card for paramore. The pics are awesome too.

Very nice pics. Thanks for uploading them so quickly. Its great that Hayleys voice sounded good too... maybe its starting to get better. That's awesome. I love TP so much, cant wait to see them again.

yep. I suppose if I was shorter it wouldn't be so bad. I dont mind the moshing, consistent pushing, or anything else really, its just the crowd surfers. I just dont like having to keep looking behind me to be ready to catch everyone before they land on my head and knock me unconscious. I was really lucky that I didnt get trampled at st andrews after being blacked out on the floor for several seconds when I got hit. And i have a permanent scar inside my lip from where I bit through it. I never would've thought that of all the shows I've been to, I would get hurt the worst at a Paramore concert.....

When I said the crowd was too rough for paramore, I was referring to the shows in Detroit and Cleveland mostly. I wasnt even at the one in Portland, so I wouldnt know. But Hit the lights does put on an amazing show, I was really impressed with how good they sound live. I dont blame the crowd for going crazy at all. I was just surprised at the amount of crowd surfing and moshing that went on during paramore's set. It seemed a bit much for the type of music they play... excluding the parts where josh is screaming in my heart, most of their songs are pretty light sounding in my opinion. I'm not trying to start an arguement about it or anything. I just think that crowd surfing makes a show alot less enjoyable for everyone.

Does anyone know for sure if Hayley still has this blister on her vocal cords, or is her voice just overworked and tired now? Because she had said before that she was feeling better... I submitted a question for kreative films to ask how she was doing in their interview, but i haven't heard anything about that yet. I really hope she is gonna be ok.

ok so I did some negotiating with my sister and she agreed to let us go at 11:30. should be early enough. And as for holding your place in line, it wouldnt be a problem. but since we are going in early for the meet and greet, i dont think it would matter. the actual line wont start forming until an hour or two before the show anyways.

omg. I feel so sorry for her. She still sounds pretty great though, i just hope she isnt in pain singing like that. I cant imagine them going through the entire second half of the tour like that.

I don't think I would ever ask any of them for a hug... especially Hayley. It would just seem really awkward, since I'm like this tall dude and she is so tiny... I don't know if it would even be physically possible for us to hug.

^Agreed. It's so sad to know that she is still in pain, I thought that she was feelin all better after their time off. I know how much the band would hate to have to cancel any shows, but Hayley better not be risking any permanent damage to her voice by doing that. They really need some time off, hopefully after this tour they will have plenty of it.

pshh Let's all just go the night before and camp out. haha

That's kind of harsh to say that you hate people who smoke. Like half of our population smokes. Its not a nice habit but its a hard one to get rid of, and not everyone is at their pinnacle of intelligence when they start.

lol. Damn those guys in HTL, they were also provoking all the crowd surfers at shows we went to. Seriously at every venue the crowd was way too rough for a Paramore show, and I think its mostly due to htl fans and maybe some of the hardcore Cute fanatics. Its' pretty ridiculous.

I'm sad that I will never be able to meet Jason. He seems like an awesome guy. By the time I got into paramore he had already left the band.
