Taylor is the hero. He brought Zac back, he was always there for Hayley... He's the one that made us hear a new Paramore song yesterday and I am so grateful to him about it. He's the real MVP I guess we could say haha
Hayley and Jeremy thought back then that he would leave the with Josh and Zac because he's best friend with both of them. He really stepped up big when the brothers left and still rocking rn with Zac being back and Hayley
David Jung he's the guitarrist, the one with curly hair, without a beany nor a sailors hat, he was in Paramore at the start, left before the first album (All We Know Is Falling) was published but still helped writing some songs and officially came back in the third album (Brand New Eyes) and has been here ever since.
I teared up watching this. When Zac talked about his dreams of Paramore calling him because they needed him it made me tear up that his dreams became a reality and it all came full circle. With every album and interview Paramore does, I feel like I fall in deeper love with them not just as a band but as people that have their issues and go through hard times. Thank you for such an amazing and long interview (I wish all interviews were like this) can't wait for the next part. I'm so proud of Paramore and I'm super pumped for the album.
HeyYouLaLa125 Also Zac was only 20 years old when he left Paramore. He probably left mostly because of his brother leaving (I could be wrong though. It was made perfectly clear why Josh left but I can never find anything about Zac leaving.) Awesome to have him back behind the kit.
through this i felt more closer to them as a friend. you know cause we grew up listening to them, we also witnessed all that hardships they went through. so its like theyre opening up to us ♡
22:51 Hayley: 'Taylor told me, you know, we went to coffee one day, and he was like, 'I am your friend. And I will be your friend if Paramore is a thing. And if it's not a thing, if you wanna write music, then we'll write music. It doesn't even have to be for-no one can ever hear it. Like, you just tell me and I'll support you." THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE LIKE TAYLOR YORK.
you can tell hayley still has a deep sadness inside of her just from this interview. from the very early ages of paramore i always got the vibe that zac & taylor were best friends while hayley and jeremy always leaned on each other. the first time jeremy got kicked out of the band hayley was the one to convince them to let him rejoin in the first place. i read in the new york times interview that came out yesterday that jeremy's lawyer stated that jeremy didn't "leave" the band - which makes me think something REALLY bad happened that ended w him being kicked out. hence why there seems to be a lot of bad blood and this whole lawsuit thing. it's really unfortunate because hayley has gotten so much flack over the years when really she is one of the most genuine artists in the music industry. and now everything with jeremy seems to really have taken a toll on her and it's super sad to watch. i remember how excited she seemed when the self titled came out but in this interview she just seems very... quite and uncertain? also. 2017 is the year of taylor york. i am so fucking glad that man is finally getting recognition for everything he has done. not only is he a musical genius, but he's the reason this band continues to do what they do and put out the best records. can't wait to see what this new album has in store and i hope that hayley finds her voice again
i know this is so complicated... It's something really hard because in one hand you got a band and in the other you got you're friends, and you have to keep the balance between both and make sure that one of them doesn't fall.
I am a musician. I'm 24 now and Paramore has been my favorite band since I was 14... my parents had just separated, I just moved from Long Beach, CA to Las Vegas.... and expressing my complicated emotions made me feel weak & whiny. Haley had heart, was confident, emotional and FIERCE. Her vulnerability showed me a lot. Showed me it was okay to be HUMAN. I'm grown now, I have my own voice... I know how to love AND fight for what I hold dear...I have to say Paramore was instrumental in teaching me that.
I think it's telling that she mentioned that lately she has been dealing with anxiety and something like depression. I think the situation with Jeremy (and other real life problems) really had a large effect on her. There's a reason why it was Taylor that kept the band going because Hayley even said she was ready to give up. It really makes me sad because I'm just not used to Hayley being vulnerable in this way. I hope with this album she's able to sort of purge herself of whatever demons she has at the moment, and I'm really thankful she has Taylor and Zac to help her. I think this next era of Paramore will be really interesting.
But at the end of the day we're not psychologists, and analyzing their every move is not going to help anyone. The thing I love most about Paramore is their growth and change.
I really hope Hayley is ok. She's such an amazing artist and creator, and I want her to appreciate herself and what she's done like all Paramore fans do. She deserves to be happy.
Zane Lowe acts as a psychologist, asking the right questions and taking the conversation to a point of trust that you could only achieve with your best friends and a couple of beers. This is a master class of journalism and one of the best music interviews I have ever seen. My respects.
I swear to god, every time hayley starts talking about how much taylor's support means to her i start crying. I love their friendship so much because they've been through so much together but they could always rely on each other. I think you can see that they truly have a special bond.
Part 2 is coming out May 12th when the album comes out because they're going to be going in depth of the album track by track and they don't want to spoil it.
Taylor and Hayley essentially saying that "Ain't It Fun" is the song that kept the band rolling during Self-Titled era reminds me of FOB saying that "Where Did The Party Go" was the song that saved the band... That should show that they were never intending to sell out and be radio pop superstars.. they only wanted to recapture the fun of making records with your friends, and it took those songs totally outside their comfort zone to bring them around. The upbeat sound isn't a departure, and it isn't a sell out, it's a battle cry.
Zoey Ann Oh gosh, I'm not even sure anymore. They said it ages ago, during the promo for Save Rock & Roll. They talked about how they were trying to write and nothing was coming together, until they started that song.
Thank you to choosing to carry on with paramore. Honestly wouldn't mind if you took things slow..glad to know paramore is still keeping up and fighting💙❤️💛
You have to give Taylor immense credit for not just filling the song writing gap left by Josh, but by bringing his own influence and not having it sound like a knock off of the earlier records.
It's pretty clear Hayley is not over some things (maybe Jeremy leaving and all that suing shit). You can see it in her face, and if you compare to when they released Self-Titled it becomes more clear. Her excitement about the album and the new songs was so visible.
Carla Gomes Maybe that's why the album is named After Laughter because, yeah, I remember the slef titled era, Hayley was always ecstatic and now, maybe it's just the interview, but she does seem quiet.
Teon Quant I don't know, I get the vibe it's not just in this interview. But I agree and totally understand the title of the album and how they feel. It's just hard to see her like this, idk.
Then again, people change. They went from teens that were angry at the world to adults and grew up as well. The self titled was a while ago, things change. In the second part of this interview they will apparently be talking more about the new album, perhaps that will highlight her excitement about it.
Deenadearlova Putri Daryani It is very complicated but after Jeremy left, he sued Hayley, Taylor, label and people involved in recording the self-titled, because he wasn't properly paid for participating in the writing of the lyrics (thing is, Jeremy didn't write anything apart from the interlude Holiday -if I'm not mistaken- he stated so during interviews.) He also wanted to be paid for other stuff, even though he wasn't in the band anymore. Before he sued Hayley, Hayley had already started a process, just in case he sued her... It's complicated and I'm sure I didn't explain it very well, but you can find it online. Jeremy said Hayley stabbed him in the back...it was painful for the fans, so I can't imagine how Hayley and Taylor dealt with it.
PixelJunkie One of the reasons that makes him a great interviewer is that he knows the band. He did his research and some what understands their journey and story. It's never just a matter of asking random questions; that makes a bad interviewer. Zane did a great job!
@@nataliaolveira9214 Yeah, I'm seeing all these comments that he's great, but it seems like he is trying to be way too 'industry-insider' and 'know it all'. Like he wants really badly for them to like him and to seem like he is an amazing interviewer. And he's talking all over them.
@@nataliaolveira9214 absolutely, he is a terrible interviewer, it's feels it more about him than the. Likes the sound of his own voice a bit much. Acts like he is a close friend, not professional.
I love how Zane makes this such an effortless conversation whilst still asking all the nosey questions we all want answers too. So thankful for at least one more album. Hurt my heart a few times throughout when Hayley looked genuinely sad. But I'm hoping that's just her concentration face :P
I play drums, I started to listen to Paramore back in 2009 because Zac was so awesome I became a huge fan because of Zac, when he left I was really disappointed. To see him back it's overwhelming
im so happy when zac started talking about being italian and stuff and said "the list goes on" its like their own inside joke and they all started laughing my heart is so happy i cant even
I just fucking love this band, man. I'm so glad that Zac is back and that they reconciled because I feel that rarely happens in groups or bands when someone leaves. Thank God for Taylor, he really saved this band! Hayley is awesome as always. This interview was great and I appreciate the honesty. Watching this interview reminded me of why Paramore is my favorite band an why I will probably always love them. Hard Times is a great song and I'm really looking forward to After Laughter!
Hayley doesn't look like she's 'there' in this interview; she's obviously (as she said) struggling with her mental health and it breaks me to see her so quiet and hurt. I love them all so damn much.
Emily Anne She doesnt need to be energetic all the time, maybe this is the real her, shes 28, married, went through tough shit. Pretty sure thats her in a relaxed state. I like it!
Emily Anne she's probably still affected by the whole situation with Jeremy I mean he didn't leave the band according to his Lester something really bad must have happened between them
They are our family. We are true parawhores. No other bandom cares for their members as much as we care fot Zac, Taylor and Hayley;i just know it. Hayley is hurting and the best we can do to help is apprrciate her for who she is and understand what she is going through.
This feels like a therapy session or something lmao. Haha all jokes aside.. incredible interview. Everything about it was superb. Next level camera work, lighting, and setting; very professional. And damn, what a host.. asking just the right questions (albeit personal) I got to hear just what I was curious about. Love how relatable and understanding he is. I was actually really touched by this video being a big Paramore fan when the Farro bros where still in. Also, can't believe Zac returned.. didn't know this till now. Overall shockingly entertaining and informational. Loved getting to know their personalities and stories on a deeper level. Gonna give their new album a few more spins before jumping to conclusions. Thank you for the interview!!
How can you not tear up from watching such a raw interview with these three beautiful humans. I don't know why I'm so attached to this band. I think its because I spent the last 10 years of my life listening to their music which helped me get through some of the hardest seasons in my life. I'm now 28 and I turn into that teenage girl all over again. Like when I heard Misery Business for the first time on the radio. Thank you Paramore for continuing to make beautiful music in the midst of so much sorrow. I am forever grateful.
I'm glad she admitted she went through this ''everything is fine'' moment during the self-titled era, I actually felt that sometimes watching their 2013-15 shows these past few months. And about your comment on the Future (see what I did there? lol), I really hope that playing the songs will make her feel less close to these negative-yet-normal feeling of anxiety.
Hayley has faced so much sexism and bullshit in this industry and it kills me to see how visibly it's taken a toll. A male lead singer would never get called a 'diva' or a 'bitch', especially when she's clearly tried very hard to keep this thing a band. The point Zane made about how if she wanted to be a solo artist she could easily have done that in 2010, that's very important for people to realize. And staying a band has meant a lot of personal hurt for her. Depression is like a black, cloudy, 1000lb weight around your neck and carrying it around is very exhausting. I just hope this album and tour go well, and that they can finally catch a break, drama-wise. Hayley is absurdly talented, and clearly a good person who cares about her friends and her music. She deserves to be happy, and to have fun in what she does. I'm grateful for Taylor for being such a loyal, stand-up guy. She clearly needed support and he's the only one who's never turned his back. I can already tell how the music he wrote for this album is going to take Paramore in a new, exciting direction. He's been truly instrumental in keeping this band good and keeping some fun alive in the process. Also, I'm glad Josh has apologized. I understand he was young, but that blog post was so petty, bitter, and frankly sexist it baffles me to this day. And it's played a big part in all the bullshit (still does). Too bad you can't unring the bell huh. Anyways, excelent interview all around. Hope they can have some damn fun, finally! We the fans always do, it's only fair they should also enjoy themselves for a change. And I hope Hayley is getting the treatment she needs. Mental health is no joke.
Maria Viana You know the guys themselves back In the day weren't 100% on the idea of a female singer fronting the band but since she was already signed they gave it a go.
Male frontmen have definitely been considered divas or egomaniacs, Black Francis from the Pixies, the lead singer from Kings of Leon, Morrisey from The Smiths, John Lennon, and the brothers from Oasis.
I hate to say this, but there's a certain sadness and lack of energy in Hayley now, combined with her tweets, that makes me think this could be the last album and tour for Paramore. Of course if this release and tour all goes amazingly well, who knows?
moreblack She's so strong and perseverant, I have a feeling she'll get through it. She's been through so much already. Then again, that's the thing with mental health, you can't know or predict what's goin on in someone's head so I guess you're right, we really can't know
hmmm idk, i think she's still going through some stuff emotionally with jeremy leaving and all and i think that writing and making music probably makes her feel at least a little better. so i dont know if it will be the last album, i know what helps me when im depressed is working and being productive so maybe that's how it is for her too.
This is why we need to show them a lot of love with this album and tour. They've been through a lot, it must be so emotionally exhausting. I really hope it won't be the last album but if it is by some chance, lets let Paramore go out with a bang and make it memorable!
It's such an in depth interview and it's bringing out a lot in them taking about stuff they don't usually share, they're also older now, the whole band is different now from self titled, this is them letting go of everything that has tried to drag them down, and now it seems they're ready to embrace absolutely everything
Thanks for producing music that is honest to what is happening in your life and the evolution of the band! Thanks for being true to us! I love you!!!!!
Paramore will always have my heart, they're one of my first real memories of music, i try not to be nostalgic because there's so much new music and so many new artists to listen too but ill always come back to paramore
I. AM. CRYING. Started listening to Pmore when I was 8, by this time y'all are already a part of my being. LOVE IT. LOVE HARD TIMES. Paramore was a band. Paramore IS a band. Paramore will be THE band.
i thinks that she' a little bit... nostalgic maybe, she talks just so lovely about the old times and its so unsure of the future, but i think that when they performe the songs live, things are going to have sense
The day will come when I'm middle aged and Josh, Zac, Hayley, Taylor, and Jeremy put their past behind them and pair up for a "Paraunion". I would tear off my ears and offer it to the gods if they'd let me hear Josh and Taylor's rhythmic strings, Jeremy's boasting bass, Zac's earth-shaking percussions, and Hayley's powerful vocals altogether once again. Alas here's to hoping we all live long enough to find out when.
Two things made me tear up: Zac saying how he dreamed of being back in the band w his best friends, bc he was always the kid who just liked playing w them, he didnt know if it would be certain And hayley, ugh when she said "im tired of losing friends" just gutted me, and when zac first talked about josh, she just looked all deep in thought, sad and missing him : (
I love this interview so much. I cried and laughed while watching it, it made me realize how I much I appreciate you guys as a band and as people. I wanted and begged for new music for so long, but now I'm grateful that y'all took your time and that stuff happened as it happened cause this is perfect. I'm excited about the new album.
At some point, I also have gotten to the thought which Hayley was so tired of everything, more precisely when Jerm sued the band. Since the bad blood, I think their bonds are getting emotional as Hayley also seemed unhealthy mentally. This interview proves it all and I'm glad that this comeback is much better. People out there tend to judge this band is "Hayley-centered" while what they're heading to right now is the even portion of the whole band members. I'm so happy that Taylor saved the band from split and Zac for coming back!
by the even portion as you can see all of them speaking on the interview and the Hard Times music video also exposes the whole members of the band which interestingly show what they truly are.
I loved this interview so much, it gave us a much needed insight on their lives for the past three or so years, and how Zac and Taylor feel about the album. they're both usually quiet on social media and I think people forget how involved they are in the band. I love that it just feels like such a cohesive unit as a band now. Like it all makes sense and everything fits right into place without feeling forced ❤ Zane was brilliant by the way, he talked to them in such a way that it elicited deep feelings but it never felt awkward and it had the right amount of humour too ❤❤❤
It's honestly been so long since I've listened to Paramore. The last time I really listened to them and bought their stuff was when Brand New Eyes came out. After all the drama happened with Josh & Zac leaving, I legit thought they wouldn't last another year or so. It wasn't until I saw someone praising their new song (Hard Times) that I decided to give them a listen again. I'm so glad I did. Hopefully this is an amazing era for them. They deserve it.
For the longest time Taylor has always been my favorite because of how soft spoken he is and I do not regret that decision at all. I love Taylor so so much. I love this band so so much. I'm so happy.
Zac: "So he just asked me if I wanted to and I was like 'of course, I would love to. Is that cool with Hayley?' and he's like, 'of course'." Me: STARTS CRYING HIDEOUSLY
I'm happy things are getting rebuilt but you can tell how losing all these band members completely destroyed her. It's said cause Zane is right if she wanted to go solo she definitely could have... and yet she didn't. No one knows the true ins and outs of what happened except them but you can tell how much that broke her and still effects her. This album is so eye opening to where she was and is mentally. All her recent interviews too. I wish the rest of the old members see what Taylor sees. And thank god for him because I don't know where she would be without him.
I love how Hayley don't even wanted to be like the star of the band or the front member, she wanted to be the drummer or guitarist of the band that the Farros had before they name it Paramore and when she got pressured by her manager on pursuing her own solo career, she rather stayed with the band/brothers and making great music with them. I bet she really love the band and the brothers so much that she don't want to leave them Zac felt really guilty that he left in 2010 with Josh, but he is brother to Josh at first. Deep inside that he really miss being in the band and with his longest best friends Taylor and Hayley prior to re-joining 18:20 Taylor on the other hand really stepped up big since the Farros left in 2010s on wrote songs/records and kept the band together, at first Hayley thought that Taylor would left with the Farros because he's best friend with Josh and Zac. But he didn't, he's like stoked playing again with Zac 29:20
Taylor saved Paramore and I’m thankful for him, Hayley & Zac for continuing the core of Paramore - especially now with the album release of this is why
omg, that's the most beautiful interview I've ever heard and it's so damn hard to find a good, not irritating interviewer and Zane is just pure genius.
God knew what he was doing. He kept Taylor to be the glue the band and to help keep the passion alive in Hayley. And we all know she is a sensitive bug, and she never was selfish, she always wants to make sure everyone else was happy around her. Friendship like these will always last a lifetime.
thanks, Zane.
Paramore OMF YOU GUYS R LEGENDARY 😍😍😍😍
LOVE YOU GUYS
Paramore loooooove you!
Thanks Paramore. and we want the photoshoots!
paramore i love youuuuuuuu!!!😍😍😍
Taylor is the hero. He brought Zac back, he was always there for Hayley... He's the one that made us hear a new Paramore song yesterday and I am so grateful to him about it. He's the real MVP I guess we could say haha
He really is!
And he is still there for Hayley!
A great friend anyone could wish for.
Cool comment Daniel, but I gotta say - even 3 years later, Kevin Durant's mother is still the real mvp fam.
Hayley and Jeremy thought back then that he would leave the with Josh and Zac because he's best friend with both of them. He really stepped up big when the brothers left and still rocking rn with Zac being back and Hayley
Wow I can't believe Taylor York singlehandedly saved music
this needs more likes.
frrrr
and this is why ppl gotta stop sleeping on Taylor! He's the best kind of friend you can have and the SAVIOR of Paramore. he's legendary
Totally, yeah
amen
why did i read this in hayleys voice
TAYLOR IS THE BEST, PERIOD.
aaand he's beautiful tbh.
Whenever Hayley was saying nice things about Taylor you could see him analysing it all. He probably didn't realise how much he'd done...
asava17 You're very welcome ;)
Taylor saved Paramore and us all.
Gungrave who is Taylor and why he/she saved Paramore?
David Jung he's the guitarrist, the one with curly hair, without a beany nor a sailors hat, he was in Paramore at the start, left before the first album (All We Know Is Falling) was published but still helped writing some songs and officially came back in the third album (Brand New Eyes) and has been here ever since.
true. i loved them from the start but when taylor came back. i loved them even more
Sophi XRU oh, I see. But I still don't understand why people say - you were the third one I have already saw saying it - he saved the band.
David Jung 'cause Hayley has said many times in interviews and such that, if it wasnt for Taylor, Paramore would've been over by now
At this point I'm pretty confident they will forever be my favourite band
You stole my thoughts!
RocciaScoccia exactly!
always!! :3
But they are not really a band as Hayley is the only one with a contract. Zac and Taylor are really just session musicians.
Its such a woman dominated world out there. We men are just puppets.
I teared up watching this. When Zac talked about his dreams of Paramore calling him because they needed him it made me tear up that his dreams became a reality and it all came full circle. With every album and interview Paramore does, I feel like I fall in deeper love with them not just as a band but as people that have their issues and go through hard times.
Thank you for such an amazing and long interview (I wish all interviews were like this) can't wait for the next part.
I'm so proud of Paramore and I'm super pumped for the album.
Makes me so happy
HeyYouLaLa125 Also Zac was only 20 years old when he left Paramore. He probably left mostly because of his brother leaving (I could be wrong though. It was made perfectly clear why Josh left but I can never find anything about Zac leaving.)
Awesome to have him back behind the kit.
HeyYouLaLa125 Story goes he sat down with them and told them personally why he was leaving and it wasn't to follow his brother but that's all I know.
HeyYouLaLa125 me too o may god!
HARD TIMESSSSSSSS,
XDLOLOLOL
"I had dreams about it of me, like, them calling me and be like HURRY UP WE NEED YOU and I'd be like OH CRAP" - Zac Farro

I cried
I’m what minute he say that????
I wanna hang out in Taylor's house too
It looks like the kind of house where serial killers come by to hunt teenies. :O
i wanna hang out with Taylor
i wanna hang in his bedroom -_-
LocalLoser I wanna hang
This picture frame I just made
I wanna hung

I have this feeling taylor was thinking "please get your shoes off my couch" the entire time
same
I thought about that too
for real, disrespectful :p
this is such a crucial interview. literally cried over zac. fck. i love these guys.
and taylor i'm so happy and proud of you.
KC070194 i thought i was the only one
through this i felt more closer to them as a friend. you know cause we grew up listening to them, we also witnessed all that hardships they went through. so its like theyre opening up to us ♡
Are they a band yet of is Hayley still the only with a contract?
KC070194 this is as crucial as the mtv final word interview in like 2011.
Has there been any reason for that to change?
taylor squinting at hayley when she compliments him is my aesthetic
Omg love that🤣🤣🤣
Time stamp?
Hayley's shoes on Taylor's white couch gave me anxiety
Thais Arisa her shoes look clean though so it doesn’t bother me
22:51 Hayley: 'Taylor told me, you know, we went to coffee one day, and he was like, 'I am your friend. And I will be your friend if Paramore is a thing. And if it's not a thing, if you wanna write music, then we'll write music.
It doesn't even have to be for-no one can ever hear it. Like, you just tell me and I'll support you."
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE LIKE TAYLOR YORK.
I love that they’re together❤
you can tell hayley still has a deep sadness inside of her just from this interview. from the very early ages of paramore i always got the vibe that zac & taylor were best friends while hayley and jeremy always leaned on each other. the first time jeremy got kicked out of the band hayley was the one to convince them to let him rejoin in the first place. i read in the new york times interview that came out yesterday that jeremy's lawyer stated that jeremy didn't "leave" the band - which makes me think something REALLY bad happened that ended w him being kicked out. hence why there seems to be a lot of bad blood and this whole lawsuit thing. it's really unfortunate because hayley has gotten so much flack over the years when really she is one of the most genuine artists in the music industry. and now everything with jeremy seems to really have taken a toll on her and it's super sad to watch. i remember how excited she seemed when the self titled came out but in this interview she just seems very... quite and uncertain?
also. 2017 is the year of taylor york. i am so fucking glad that man is finally getting recognition for everything he has done. not only is he a musical genius, but he's the reason this band continues to do what they do and put out the best records.
can't wait to see what this new album has in store and i hope that hayley finds her voice again
i know this is so complicated... It's something really hard because in one hand you got a band and in the other you got you're friends, and you have to keep the balance between both and make sure that one of them doesn't fall.
Emily Murphy i love the groove this album has
I am a musician. I'm 24 now and Paramore has been my favorite band since I was 14... my parents had just separated, I just moved from Long Beach, CA to Las Vegas.... and expressing my complicated emotions made me feel weak & whiny. Haley had heart, was confident, emotional and FIERCE. Her vulnerability showed me a lot. Showed me it was okay to be HUMAN.
I'm grown now, I have my own voice... I know how to love AND fight for what I hold dear...I have to say Paramore was instrumental in teaching me that.

I think the situation with Jeremy (and other real life problems) really had a large effect on her.

But at the end of the day we're not psychologists, and analyzing their every move is not going to help anyone. The thing I love most about Paramore is their growth and change.
It takes a lot to be vulnerable and sit down to have an interview like this. Thank you, Zane and thank you, Paramore.
I really hope Hayley is ok. She's such an amazing artist and creator, and I want her to appreciate herself and what she's done like all Paramore fans do. She deserves to be happy.
She's doing great! Have you heard her new albums?
yeah she's okay! taylor is actually taking good care of her :)
Zane Lowe acts as a psychologist, asking the right questions and taking the conversation to a point of trust that you could only achieve with your best friends and a couple of beers. This is a master class of journalism and one of the best music interviews I have ever seen. My respects.
He listened to their music, and asked good questions about it
taylor has some nice eyebrows.
he's got some nice everything
Agreed.
Agreed.
Lamar Kendrick right?
omg was just going to comment that
I swear to god, every time hayley starts talking about how much taylor's support means to her i start crying. I love their friendship so much because they've been through so much together but they could always rely on each other. I think you can see that they truly have a special bond.
Lexa AND Paramore? You won my heart
Chiara A haha aww i love finding other people who love both pmore and lexa ♥️ they're the best
Coming to this comment now they're comfirmed dating

Part 2 is coming out May 12th when the album comes out because they're going to be going in depth of the album track by track and they don't want to spoil it.
Renegade Swift He said on twitter it was May 11
But ok
oh my god thank you
OMG thank you for the info
My birthday is May 11! They knew it and wanted to save this album as a birthday gift for me!!
Yay my birthday is May 11th, too!
Taylor and Hayley essentially saying that "Ain't It Fun" is the song that kept the band rolling during Self-Titled era reminds me of FOB saying that "Where Did The Party Go" was the song that saved the band... That should show that they were never intending to sell out and be radio pop superstars.. they only wanted to recapture the fun of making records with your friends, and it took those songs totally outside their comfort zone to bring them around. The upbeat sound isn't a departure, and it isn't a sell out, it's a battle cry.
"It isn't a sell-out, it's a battle cry." love this
Katie Rauff your comment is amazing omg
Katie Rauff I
Katie Rauff wait where did fob say that... I wanna listen to that
Zoey Ann Oh gosh, I'm not even sure anymore. They said it ages ago, during the promo for Save Rock & Roll. They talked about how they were trying to write and nothing was coming together, until they started that song.
Thank you to choosing to carry on with paramore. Honestly wouldn't mind if you took things slow..glad to know paramore is still keeping up and fighting💙❤️💛
You have to give Taylor immense credit for not just filling the song writing gap left by Josh, but by bringing his own influence and not having it sound like a knock off of the earlier records.
It's pretty clear Hayley is not over some things (maybe Jeremy leaving and all that suing shit). You can see it in her face, and if you compare to when they released Self-Titled it becomes more clear. Her excitement about the album and the new songs was so visible.
Carla Gomes Maybe that's why the album is named After Laughter because, yeah, I remember the slef titled era, Hayley was always ecstatic and now, maybe it's just the interview, but she does seem quiet.
Teon Quant I don't know, I get the vibe it's not just in this interview. But I agree and totally understand the title of the album and how they feel. It's just hard to see her like this, idk.
Then again, people change. They went from teens that were angry at the world to adults and grew up as well. The self titled was a while ago, things change. In the second part of this interview they will apparently be talking more about the new album, perhaps that will highlight her excitement about it.
hey, mind if i ask what's this 'suing thing'? i don't get it
Deenadearlova Putri Daryani It is very complicated but after Jeremy left, he sued Hayley, Taylor, label and people involved in recording the self-titled, because he wasn't properly paid for participating in the writing of the lyrics (thing is, Jeremy didn't write anything apart from the interlude Holiday -if I'm not mistaken- he stated so during interviews.) He also wanted to be paid for other stuff, even though he wasn't in the band anymore. Before he sued Hayley, Hayley had already started a process, just in case he sued her... It's complicated and I'm sure I didn't explain it very well, but you can find it online. Jeremy said Hayley stabbed him in the back...it was painful for the fans, so I can't imagine how Hayley and Taylor dealt with it.
Zane is a superb interviewer, really on the ball with his comments.
PixelJunkie One of the reasons that makes him a great interviewer is that he knows the band. He did his research and some what understands their journey and story. It's never just a matter of asking random questions; that makes a bad interviewer. Zane did a great job!
weird, i felt he was being a little bit too buddy buddy with them, not really asking any questions just stating his opinion...
@@nataliaolveira9214 Yeah, I'm seeing all these comments that he's great, but it seems like he is trying to be way too 'industry-insider' and 'know it all'. Like he wants really badly for them to like him and to seem like he is an amazing interviewer. And he's talking all over them.
@@nataliaolveira9214 absolutely, he is a terrible interviewer, it's feels it more about him than the. Likes the sound of his own voice a bit much. Acts like he is a close friend, not professional.
I love how Hayley's expression changes when Taylor calls her loyal, like, you can see how much it means to her that he says that.
Daniel Rivera when does he say it ?
jess hardman 24:23
God knows the world doesn't need another band. Thank you Paramore for staying with us!
"But what a waste it would've been."
I cant beleive they almost hung it up. Whoa, theyre just gettin started.
Honestly can you believe they crossed the world while it's asleep? They'd never trade it in, cause they've always wanted this!
And it's not a dream anymore, whoa, it's not a dream anymore, it's worth fighting for.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ALMOST HUNG IT UP!
Taylor forgot to dress like a sailor
i want a friend like Taylor :(
Trxye me too!
Trxye me too!
Trxye SAME!
Be a friend like taylor
Wow. I had no idea how bad the leaving of Jeremy hit them. :(
They are so real. Down to earth. With problems, that's why I love them so much.
I love how Zane makes this such an effortless conversation whilst still asking all the nosey questions we all want answers too. So thankful for at least one more album. Hurt my heart a few times throughout when Hayley looked genuinely sad. But I'm hoping that's just her concentration face :P
I play drums, I started to listen to Paramore back in 2009 because Zac was so awesome I became a huge fan because of Zac, when he left I was really disappointed. To see him back it's overwhelming
Same, Lord Vader. Same.
This interview will change some people's minds about that new single, I think.
Matty Jiles not mine. still trash
Didnt know ur name is trash
im so happy when zac started talking about being italian and stuff and said "the list goes on" its like their own inside joke and they all started laughing my heart is so happy i cant even
Yeaahh! 🙌 that was one of my favorite moments omg
I know!! Taylor and Hayley really tried their hardest not to burst out laughing to let Zac keep talking 😭😭😭😭
I just fucking love this band, man. I'm so glad that Zac is back and that they reconciled because I feel that rarely happens in groups or bands when someone leaves. Thank God for Taylor, he really saved this band! Hayley is awesome as always. This interview was great and I appreciate the honesty. Watching this interview reminded me of why Paramore is my favorite band an why I will probably always love them. Hard Times is a great song and I'm really looking forward to After Laughter!
I want a best friend like Taylor 😭😭😭 He's such a saviour in Paramore.
Edit: I wanna hug Zac so bad, this is sad
I've missed you guys so much, so so much. Thank you for coming back, seriously, Thank You for fighting, writing, creating, existing.
Hayley doesn't look like she's 'there' in this interview; she's obviously (as she said) struggling with her mental health and it breaks me to see her so quiet and hurt. I love them all so damn much.
Emily Anne Right? She looks defeated. Hopefully she's alright
Emily Anne She doesnt need to be energetic all the time, maybe this is the real her, shes 28, married, went through tough shit. Pretty sure thats her in a relaxed state. I like it!
Emily Anne she's probably still affected by the whole situation with Jeremy I mean he didn't leave the band according to his Lester something really bad must have happened between them
They are our family. We are true parawhores. No other bandom cares for their members as much as we care fot Zac, Taylor and Hayley;i just know it. Hayley is hurting and the best we can do to help is apprrciate her for who she is and understand what she is going through.
Androu Luc yeah true, idk a lot of people have said she kind of looks sad but I hope you're right!
This feels like a therapy session or something lmao.
Haha all jokes aside.. incredible interview. Everything about it was superb. Next level camera work, lighting, and setting; very professional. And damn, what a host.. asking just the right questions (albeit personal) I got to hear just what I was curious about. Love how relatable and understanding he is. I was actually really touched by this video being a big Paramore fan when the Farro bros where still in. Also, can't believe Zac returned.. didn't know this till now.
Overall shockingly entertaining and informational. Loved getting to know their personalities and stories on a deeper level. Gonna give their new album a few more spins before jumping to conclusions. Thank you for the interview!!
Yeah, you play with that ring, Zac.
I missed you. Missed all y'all.
Right? Reminded me of Tyler Joseph.
"Hey is Zac there?" his voice lol
this interviewer knows his shit
How can you not tear up from watching such a raw interview with these three beautiful humans. I don't know why I'm so attached to this band. I think its because I spent the last 10 years of my life listening to their music which helped me get through some of the hardest seasons in my life. I'm now 28 and I turn into that teenage girl all over again. Like when I heard Misery Business for the first time on the radio. Thank you Paramore for continuing to make beautiful music in the midst of so much sorrow. I am forever grateful.
I'm getting really unhappy sort of vibes from Hayley, they almost seem to feel unsure where everything is heading.
ikr i hope and pray she'll feel better soon
I'm glad she admitted she went through this ''everything is fine'' moment during the self-titled era, I actually felt that sometimes watching their 2013-15 shows these past few months. And about your comment on the Future (see what I did there? lol), I really hope that playing the songs will make her feel less close to these negative-yet-normal feeling of anxiety.
IK hearing her say she was ready to quit made me so sad cuz it doesn't rly seem like she's over that
IKKKKKKKK
brrreakdawn I know, I watched the video. It's just clear that she isn't lying.
36:19 changed my life
I've replayed it a good dozen times. It's such a freakishly realistic child voice
Same... It's SO frickin' weird.
Right?? So freaky.
It's so fracking scary
Same... That noise should not be able to come out of him it's so weird.
Hayley has faced so much sexism and bullshit in this industry and it kills me to see how visibly it's taken a toll. A male lead singer would never get called a 'diva' or a 'bitch', especially when she's clearly tried very hard to keep this thing a band. The point Zane made about how if she wanted to be a solo artist she could easily have done that in 2010, that's very important for people to realize. And staying a band has meant a lot of personal hurt for her. Depression is like a black, cloudy, 1000lb weight around your neck and carrying it around is very exhausting. I just hope this album and tour go well, and that they can finally catch a break, drama-wise. Hayley is absurdly talented, and clearly a good person who cares about her friends and her music. She deserves to be happy, and to have fun in what she does. I'm grateful for Taylor for being such a loyal, stand-up guy. She clearly needed support and he's the only one who's never turned his back. I can already tell how the music he wrote for this album is going to take Paramore in a new, exciting direction. He's been truly instrumental in keeping this band good and keeping some fun alive in the process.
Also, I'm glad Josh has apologized. I understand he was young, but that blog post was so petty, bitter, and frankly sexist it baffles me to this day. And it's played a big part in all the bullshit (still does). Too bad you can't unring the bell huh.
Anyways, excelent interview all around. Hope they can have some damn fun, finally! We the fans always do, it's only fair they should also enjoy themselves for a change. And I hope Hayley is getting the treatment she needs. Mental health is no joke.
Maria Viana You know the guys themselves back In the day weren't 100% on the idea of a female singer fronting the band but since she was already signed they gave it a go.
Maria Viana she is don't worry. she posted on twitter she is seeing a therapist when it was mental health day. she said she's doing better ☺
Male frontmen have definitely been considered divas or egomaniacs, Black Francis from the Pixies, the lead singer from Kings of Leon, Morrisey from The Smiths, John Lennon, and the brothers from Oasis.
I hate to say this, but there's a certain sadness and lack of energy in Hayley now, combined with her tweets, that makes me think this could be the last album and tour for Paramore. Of course if this release and tour all goes amazingly well, who knows?
moreblack She's so strong and perseverant, I have a feeling she'll get through it. She's been through so much already.
Then again, that's the thing with mental health, you can't know or predict what's goin on in someone's head so I guess you're right, we really can't know
hmmm idk, i think she's still going through some stuff emotionally with jeremy leaving and all and i think that writing and making music probably makes her feel at least a little better. so i dont know if it will be the last album, i know what helps me when im depressed is working and being productive so maybe that's how it is for her too.
This is why we need to show them a lot of love with this album and tour. They've been through a lot, it must be so emotionally exhausting. I really hope it won't be the last album but if it is by some chance, lets let Paramore go out with a bang and make it memorable!
Fake nuggets I totally agree with you!
It's such an in depth interview and it's bringing out a lot in them taking about stuff they don't usually share, they're also older now, the whole band is different now from self titled, this is them letting go of everything that has tried to drag them down, and now it seems they're ready to embrace absolutely everything
Thanks for producing music that is honest to what is happening in your life and the evolution of the band! Thanks for being true to us! I love you!!!!!
Paramore will always have my heart, they're one of my first real memories of music, i try not to be nostalgic because there's so much new music and so many new artists to listen too but ill always come back to paramore
Hayley: This has been the longest break we've taken between records
Paramore 6: Hold my vinyl
Yeah 😭
I. AM. CRYING. Started listening to Pmore when I was 8, by this time y'all are already a part of my being. LOVE IT. LOVE HARD TIMES.
Paramore was a band. Paramore IS a band. Paramore will be THE band.
Camila Herrera amen
I agree. Hayley said "will be THE band" though, I think... 😂
hahah yess! I was shaking when I wrote this. thanks!
Hahaha of course! have a nice day!
Camila Herrera i
i thinks that she' a little bit... nostalgic maybe, she talks just so lovely about the old times and its so unsure of the future, but i think that when they performe the songs live, things are going to have sense
The day will come when I'm middle aged and Josh, Zac, Hayley, Taylor, and Jeremy put their past behind them and pair up for a "Paraunion".
I would tear off my ears and offer it to the gods if they'd let me hear Josh and Taylor's rhythmic strings, Jeremy's boasting bass, Zac's earth-shaking percussions, and Hayley's powerful vocals altogether once again. Alas here's to hoping we all live long enough to find out when.
"when you lose friends, it's like you lose a part of yourself; you lose these memories that it feels you are not allowed to have them anymore." 😭😭😭
Two things made me tear up:
Zac saying how he dreamed of being back in the band w his best friends, bc he was always the kid who just liked playing w them, he didnt know if it would be certain
And hayley, ugh when she said "im tired of losing friends" just gutted me, and when zac first talked about josh, she just looked all deep in thought, sad and missing him : (
this whole video showed me how much of an angel taylor is.
"Family."
"Baked Ziti."
"Marinara Sauce."
Paramore saved my life, thank you so much
Man i need personal Taylor York youtube channel
okay im crying zac u cute human jelly bean
This is just a nice, refreshing, and engaging interview. Love it.
The face Hayley makes when Josh is mentioned :(
I love this interview so much. I cried and laughed while watching it, it made me realize how I much I appreciate you guys as a band and as people. I wanted and begged for new music for so long, but now I'm grateful that y'all took your time and that stuff happened as it happened cause this is perfect. I'm excited about the new album.
At some point, I also have gotten to the thought which Hayley was so tired of everything, more precisely when Jerm sued the band. Since the bad blood, I think their bonds are getting emotional as Hayley also seemed unhealthy mentally. This interview proves it all and I'm glad that this comeback is much better. People out there tend to judge this band is "Hayley-centered" while what they're heading to right now is the even portion of the whole band members. I'm so happy that Taylor saved the band from split and Zac for coming back!
by the even portion as you can see all of them speaking on the interview and the Hard Times music video also exposes the whole members of the band which interestingly show what they truly are.
I loved this interview so much, it gave us a much needed insight on their lives for the past three or so years, and how Zac and Taylor feel about the album. they're both usually quiet on social media and I think people forget how involved they are in the band. I love that it just feels like such a cohesive unit as a band now. Like it all makes sense and everything fits right into place without feeling forced ❤ Zane was brilliant by the way, he talked to them in such a way that it elicited deep feelings but it never felt awkward and it had the right amount of humour too ❤❤❤
It's honestly been so long since I've listened to Paramore. The last time I really listened to them and bought their stuff was when Brand New Eyes came out. After all the drama happened with Josh & Zac leaving, I legit thought they wouldn't last another year or so. It wasn't until I saw someone praising their new song (Hard Times) that I decided to give them a listen again. I'm so glad I did. Hopefully this is an amazing era for them. They deserve it.
Aly Z. Omg same! Im so happy that I got back to them
i've cried adult tears and it's only the first part
All praise to T!
my wig is missing
For the longest time Taylor has always been my favorite because of how soft spoken he is and I do not regret that decision at all. I love Taylor so so much. I love this band so so much. I'm so happy.
Zac: "So he just asked me if I wanted to and I was like 'of course, I would love to. Is that cool with Hayley?' and he's like, 'of course'."
Me: STARTS CRYING HIDEOUSLY
In what minute they say that?
I'm happy things are getting rebuilt but you can tell how losing all these band members completely destroyed her. It's said cause Zane is right if she wanted to go solo she definitely could have... and yet she didn't. No one knows the true ins and outs of what happened except them but you can tell how much that broke her and still effects her. This album is so eye opening to where she was and is mentally. All her recent interviews too. I wish the rest of the old members see what Taylor sees. And thank god for him because I don't know where she would be without him.
15:02 Zac was going to say wtf :D
Thanks for sticking together, Paramore. I can't imagine the music industry without you guys.
taylor is the cutest human being on earth
the way hayley smiles when zac said josh is such an good brother makes me feel good about life
TAYLOR YORK IS AN ANGEL THAT SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES.
So much love for Taylor it's redclious
ou can tell hayley still has a deep sadness inside of her just from this interview.
A few years after this interview she said she had just moved into a new house, after asking for the divorce
so taylor doesn't care that hayleg and the interviewer has their shoes on his couch
sia 654 i thought the same. Man, it's white couch! 😂
I love how Hayley don't even wanted to be like the star of the band or the front member, she wanted to be the drummer or guitarist of the band that the Farros had before they name it Paramore and when she got pressured by her manager on pursuing her own solo career, she rather stayed with the band/brothers and making great music with them. I bet she really love the band and the brothers so much that she don't want to leave them
Zac felt really guilty that he left in 2010 with Josh, but he is brother to Josh at first. Deep inside that he really miss being in the band and with his longest best friends Taylor and Hayley prior to re-joining 18:20
Taylor on the other hand really stepped up big since the Farros left in 2010s on wrote songs/records and kept the band together, at first Hayley thought that Taylor would left with the Farros because he's best friend with Josh and Zac. But he didn't, he's like stoked playing again with Zac 29:20
i really like that everyone got a chance to talk and no one was talking over anyone, it was nice
5:35 Had no idea Taylor got inspired by Tame Impala for this album, but now that I know it I can definitely hear it
Amazing interview. Can't wait for the second part of it. Thanks @Paramore for never hanging up!
Taylor saved Paramore and I’m thankful for him, Hayley & Zac for continuing the core of Paramore - especially now with the album release of this is why
omg, that's the most beautiful interview I've ever heard and it's so damn hard to find a good, not irritating interviewer and Zane is just pure genius.
God knew what he was doing. He kept Taylor to be the glue the band and to help keep the passion alive in Hayley. And we all know she is a sensitive bug, and she never was selfish, she always wants to make sure everyone else was happy around her. Friendship like these will always last a lifetime.
Zac talking about the band and Taylor being his best friend seriously made me tear up. So beautiful.
I'm waiting for Emma Blackery to comment
"Hey, is Zac here?" and "Hey Zac, there's a girl in the phone for you" fucking KILLED ME. Taylor is so adorable how can you not love this guy
In what minute he say that?
Hayley is so physically attractive it’s crazy. And her heart is even more beautiful 💛✨
Zac has such a great vibe, I don't know why I've never noticed before.
I'm going insane with the fact that Taylor's couch is white AF AND HAYLEY IS WEARING HER SHOESSSSS KJHGDFGB
32:34 "FOOTAGE OF THE DOCUMENTARY" IM NOT OKAYY
They introduced me to Alternative and they're still going strong today. Love you Paramore.
