    Paramore is one of those bands that expertly walks the line between not letting themselves be pigeon-holed into 1 genre while also not entirely alienating their fanbase. I’m the same age as them and have been a fan since around 2006, and its been wild to watch them grow as musicians and as people. Great band.

      They're posers, pretending to live in the 70's trying to write mystical songs like Zeppelin without have any of the influences or real interests behind it. They also dress and copy Zeppelin's mannerisms on stage. I couldn't think of anything more pathetic than that.

    Running out of time is such an addictive track. I've been listening to it constantly since This Is Why came out. Having said that, the whole of This Is Why is an incredible album and shows just how much Paramore are maturing as artists. It's one of my favourite albums of the year, though I have to say that After Laughter is still my favourite Paramore record partly due to the fact that it came out during a wonderful time in my life and the songs became linked to those wonderful events/memories.

      Ear training (Rick teaches that ) where you recognize where chords all fit in with each other and what the progression is. He's surprised when it isn''t the next chord he expected. It's like that; those are the 'fresh' things he refers to. Stuff others haven't done. I'll sit there listening to tunes for hours some nights, just trying to play along with the bass parts on as many as I can, even though I may have never heard the songs before. It's fun, and it's great learning, making you a better player. You can see exactly where your instrument's part fits in; basically you can jam with nearly everyone.

    Surprised there were unreleased tracks from Meteora considering how incredibly short that album was. But I remember how effective their online marketing was ramping up to that release. Pre-UA-cam but they did a good job of dropping little videos working in the studio every week or two hyping the release, and did a great job of using art, video, and prose to hit their core audience. Though I was older than that audience, I remember picking up my copy of the special edition and waiting in an unusually long line at the Tower Records behind a ton of older teens and young adults buying their CDs. That was like, so 2003.

    I love these. It just goes to show you that when you do the top 10 pop songs you usually only have good things to say about 1 or 2 songs, but virtually every rock song is well written and unique as opposed to the pop songs that borrow from rock and repeat the same borrowed chords over and over again. Also, props to rock fans out there for being discerning enough to make these the top 10.

      Thing about rock bands is that all members of a band want to do fun things, having the same simple chord/line/beat in 10 songs is simply not fun for a musician.

      ​@@ElchivoBerrinches11 Led Zep just copied blues / r&b musicians and put their own spin on it. They were copiers and ripoff artists themselves.
      And to use your own arguing point against you - they're a 50 year old band, which means that the vast majority of millenials and Zoomers have never heard of them nor listened to their music, so a band that sounds like Led Zep is fresh and new to their ears.
      Something else also needs to be said: George Lucas is a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa and the films he made, and used Kurosawa's work (and a lot of other influences like adventure and sci-fi serials from the 30s) as a blueprint for Star Wars. Sergio Leone was also greatly inspired by Kurosawa, to the extent where A Fistful of Dollars was a direct ripoff of Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Quentin Tarantino is the biggest ripoff artist in hollywood, and he would probably admit that himself; every one of his films is an homage to other films or whole genres in general.
      There's nothing wrong with the idea of coming up with an artistic creation that is an homage or tribute to an earlier piece of art.

    That Maneskin song reminds me so much of mid 2000s rock like Franz Ferdinand and Nine Black Alps. Good stuff.

      The Rush album does feel more like that, partially. And Mamma Mia is so Franz. The bassist is an utter Idols fan, so you have a bit of that. And the drummer lives Sade and what the call eclectic, and the Singer loves James Arthur I think. Last album they found a happy medium, but with Rush, each member got to influence different songs.

      I love how willing Maneskin is to put their bass parts up front in the mix. So many bands bury it behind guitars. Reminds me a little of Talking Heads

    Paramore is constantly one of the most underrated American bands out there. Always coming up with fresh, new sounds that are put together into great songs.
    A lot of the best rock sound I've found lately has come out of Japan. They're putting out such good rock and metal stuff right now. Bandmaid has used UA-cam to grow and touring America right now. Worth checking out a show.

    i recommend (to Rick, and everyone else) to check out Thick Skull from Paramore's latest album. there's something about it that makes me so... emotional about that song. Hayley's vocal delivery, Zac's time signature on the drums, Taylor's frustrating and rough guitar.... the climax leading up to the final chorus is incredibly powerful too!
