nemesis90 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 so i sent a few out to all the kerrang workers. i said 'How could you write such an article full of LIES and BULLSHIT about Paramore?! huh?! You guys best not be BIAS when you review their show or new album' this was their responce Hey I'm really sorry the article wasn't to your taste. Though i must point out that it wasn't actually me who wrote it, i just happen to work for Kerrang! magazine. To be quite honest, i think you may have missed the point... The thing about journalism is that, ideally, its not biased by whoever the subject might be. Yes Paramore are a very popular band but why should that mean everything that's written about them should blow smoke up their arses? At the end of the day Tom Bryant wrote about what he saw, i highly doubt anything was fabricated and im sure everything written was observed at the interview. Imagine how boring it would be if everyone kissed everyone elses arses? And watch your language, your mum wouldn't be pleased. im still annoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneFarro Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 yeah that's exactly the response i expect from Kerrang! it obviously was fabricated lies and bullshit they printed. i think maybe Tom Bryant didn't get much from the band so he created this story. Kerrang! sucks, i only buy it when Paramore are in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how boring it would be if everyone kissed everyone elses arses? And watch your language, your mum wouldn't be pleased. you know i think thats a fair responce. i was thinking about it and i've read alota stuff about what people have said about this whole thing, paramore fans and people who aren't paramore fans.i still think the article was a load of crap, and extreamely biased but at the end of the day it is mostly the writers own opinion. i think what is gonna do paramore wrong is that the writer implied that paramore care more about their image than their music and in Hayley's responce she didn't deny this. i don't even know you know.

Andrew Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 i'm just curious as to how much of tomorrow's issues letters page will be about Paramore. lol Yeah. And it's a shame Kerrang don't print the Editor's reply to letters like NME do... I wouldn't say that the article was 100% bull shit. In my opinion there was some truth to it. I could go into a long explanation but right now I don't have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeDays Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Jesus, what a dick. You should write him back and tell him that you should have expected some kind of smart-assed response like that from a Kerrang worker... And if this guy just wrote what he saw, then he must be a woman hate for fuck's sake. And just for good mesure, you should throw lots more curses in there just to get a rise out of him... And tell him your "mum" hates Kerrang too, and told you what to say word for word, lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeDays Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Paramore are gettin bigger. They have to expect this from the media. Yeah... I think they realize it though... I mean, look at the way they handled it... They got their point across and did it without making a big scene, and managed to make it funny...

sofa9053 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Whatever. We all know that the Kerrang thing was crap, Paramore knows that it was crap, and anyone who has ever met Paramore knows that it is utter crap so whatever they say is crap. He wrote what he wrote and that's his opinion. It's like I always say, "any publicity is good publicity..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if she cares MORE about image than music... ((Unless you count image as people looking up to you, etc. instead of just what you look like...)) But really, if people were going to be taking pictures of me to be put in a magazine that millions were going to see, I'd wanna look good, too hahaha...

LikeDays Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Rachna, why the animosity lately?? I'm not picking a fight, I've just noticed a tone of negativity lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsername104 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 haha i've been super tired i guess. idk. i guess i'm also annoyed with all the people who are so anti-'people saying crap on paramore' because it happens to EVERY BAND. i could tell numerous stories about it, but i won't if a journalist feels that you're acting in a way that's not ... 'positive' (for lack of a better word, then it's not professional. going of the response letter, the author wrote what they saw, and they saw the band not acting professionally. we all know they're sweet kids though, so maybe it was an off day. haha but i'm really not trying to be negative.

LikeDays Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah I understand what you're saying... Maybe the guy was expecting them to be... purer?... than they were... Less kid-like... They ARE kids, like he even said, so I don't know... Maybe that was his way of explaining himself. But I understand what you mean, and yeah, every band gets shit talked on them... But what kind of fans would we be if we didn't get pissy about it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 But he did seem to make themout to be manipulative, the whole thing about Hunter, and Hayley did seem like a prissy 8 year old princess. And to be honest, the message you sent them was very immature. If you wanna get a point across, don't do it like an 8 year old. You can't expect a serious response other wise.

the1 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 What does it say? "Get in line boys!" or something to that effect?? That cartoon takes the piss out of everyone. They once took the piss out of Pete Wentz's suicide attempt. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
