zzzz Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 If it's just one line that truly bothers her, then she should've changed the lyrics like Mark did IMO. But to me this sounds similar to Kurt Cobain not wanting to play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" after so long, because he was so sick of being defined by it and felt they had much more to offer artistically that people should be paying attention to. It's like Tom not wanting to waste his time playing ATST/First Date/etc. Why fake your way through a song that doesn't even feel like "you" anymore? From an artistic standpoint, I get it. At the end of the day, it is their choice. If their show numbers dwindle because of it (which I doubt they will), then they can either bring it back or fade off. For true artists who are in it for the music/art-form, this is how they express themselves and it just happens to resonate with a bunch of people. They aren't monkeys in a zoo where you show up and demand tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't listen to them so I don't know how genuine they are, but I am choosing to acknowledge their lead singer as an artist who maybe cares about her work and has feelings? It takes guts to drop your only popular song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 im just joking, but yeah, they should just drop the Paramore title and just go with Hayley Williams and the hotboyz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Hayley never said that was the reason. It's fine to speculate that it is (and imo it's likely that it contributed to the decision), but since she didn't specify, it doesn't make sense to judge her as if that was the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going off an article I read this morning and they referenced that line as the reason. I read through the lyrics and the whole song seems like throwaway teen oriented lyrics to me. Isn't that what most of their songs were? At least in the early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Apparently a lot of people. Here's a quote from her about it: "The problem with the lyrics is not that I had an issue with someone I went to school with. That's just high school and friendships and breakups. It's the way I tried to call her out using words that didn't belong in the conversation. It's the fact that the story was setup inside the context of a competition that didn't exist over some fantasy romance," Williams said, adding. Translation: omgz i called a girl a whore when i was 17. it was totally authentic then, BUT: the over-PC crowd is pissed. must never play my most popular song liver ever again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think she states that it wasn't' authentic at all when when she wrote it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really liked that. It’s definitely not better than the real melody, but blink’s Live performances are so boring now trying to sound exactly like their album recordings, it’s fun to hear something that’s actually different for a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
