How did you come across this amazing fansite that is paramorefans.com?

Been a twitter follower for ages, and thought it's about time I signed up lol

How did you come across the amazing band that is Paramore/ how long have you been a fan?

About 8 years ago I spotted a video thumbnail on the Bebo homepage. It was 3 people sat on the sidewalk, one wrapped in blankets, and it was too tempting not to click it! Turns out it was Hayley, Josh and Jason playing Pressure acoustically, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Favorite Paramore song(s)?

Tough to pick just one, so I'll go with Pressure, Turn It Off, Hello Cold World and Proof.

Favorite lyric?

I don't have any particular favourite lyrics.

Any live show experiences you'd like to share?

I've seen Paramore live 13 times; 4x in England, once in Northern Ireland, 7x in the USA, and, depending on the definition of where international waters are, either once there or once in the Bahamas! I've seen them in tiny venues (O2 Academy Islington, capacity ~300) and in huge places (O2 Arena, ~25,000). I've had four M&G's, been on the barricade twice, and I've even been onstage for Misery Business!

Interests: football (soccer), athletics, rugby, wrestling
Other Music: All Time Low, The All-American Rejects, blink-182, Courage My Love, A Day To Remember, Fall Out Boy, Flyleaf, Jimmy Eat World, Linkin Park, Muse, My Chemical Romance, The Nearly Deads, New Politics, Tonight Alive, We Are The In Crowd, Yellowcard, Zebrahead, 30 Seconds To Mars

Here's a couple of videos of me a few weeks back. (if you've read my intro thread, you'll probably seen the first one already)

Roadblocks & Stop Signs

So this is the end of the road
This long and winding road
It’s been the best time of my life
Please don’t let it end now

Yes, we’ve hit a rough patch
But we’ve pulled through worse than this
Don’t let this be the straw that breaks our back

So let’s keep building this road
Because it’s our own
Our own unique piece of time
And only we know what it felt like

When we met a roadblock
We just found a different path
If we got caught in tailbacks
We’d just sit back and laugh

You’ve been all I ever wished for
Friend, lover, sister, even mother
You’re the one for me; I hope you feel the same

So let’s keep building this road
Because it’s our own
Our own unique piece of time
And only we know what it felt like

And now we’re at a stop sign
Wondering if we’ll ever be the same again
This journey’s been incredible
Please don’t let it end now

Good Guys Never Win

I’ve tried and tried
So many times
To win you back
But you won’t be mine
I’ve tried every way
But they all still fail
And I’m starting to think
I’m on a dead end trail
Now I’m on the floor
About to drink some more
And it’s all because of you

And I don’t know why
You left me
And I can’t describe
This pain inside me
But I don’t know why
You see what I can’t see

I sit and wait
By the telephone
For you to call
But I guess you’re not at home
Your cell-phone’s off
And your friends won’t tell
If you’re with them
I guess this is hell
Because I want to talk
And tell you about
How my pride is gone
And how you snuffed it out
You don’t know how I feel
All this hurt is real
I’ll play my music loud
Please come and help me now
Before I do something I’ll regret

And I don’t know why
You left me
And I can’t describe
This pain inside me
And I need to know
Why you let me go
And it tears me up inside
But I don’t know why
You see what I can’t see

And it’s all because of you
And I don’t know why
You left me
And I can’t describe
This pain inside me
And I need to know
Why you let me go
And it tears me up inside

And I still don’t know why
You left me
And I still can’t describe
This pain inside me
But I still can’t tell
Why I’m in this hell
You’re the one I need
To help me break free
And I need to know
Why you let me go
And it tears me up inside
But I still don’t know why
I can’t see the world that surrounds me

I appreciate this may be in the wrong section, if any mods want to move this, feel free.

This is basically a thread for me to show you lovely people some of the songs I have written. My DeviantArt page has everything I've written on it, but I'll share a couple of my favourites here to get things started.

Million Mile Serenade

You’re lying next to me
But it feels like you’re a million miles away

So this is my serenade to you
I’m writing down the words I can’t say
This was all too much to bear
When you hear this I’ll be far away

This million mile serenade
Is one I’ll sing for you every day
You won’t hear it, but you’ll feel it
From a distance, in a heartfelt way

My apology, my atonement
My taking back of every word I ever said to you

I think I may struggle to remember them all, and I'm limiting myself (pretty much) just to headliners:

• Fall Out Boy x7
• Bowling For Soup x2
• Zebrahead x7
• Rise Against
• Paramore x13
• 30 Seconds to Mars x3
• Yellowcard
• We Are the In Crowd
• All Time Low x2
• You Me At Six
• VersaEmerge
• blink-182
• Linkin Park
• Lostprophets x3
• New Found Glory

• Finch

And countless other support bands!!

Whattup ParaPeeps!!

I'm Phil! I've known of this site for ages, but only just got around to signing up. I've been a fan since 2006, but I've only just started earning enough money to be the crazily obsessed fanboy I've always wanted to be! To the point that I've flown to America twice, to see Paramore a total of eight times (counting Parahoy as two) this year. And on the last trip, this kinda happened:
