I didn't like "Emergency" and the other single from their other album ("Pressure?") but I totally love "Misery Business." but even when I didn't like them I wouldn't say I'd rather eat a bowl of my own vomit. I'm sure they're good at what they do, why be so mean to them? _________________ ASTER (i'll think of a clever signature someday.) |

I wouldn't mind a Paramore/Eisley tour simply because all of the people I know who like Paramore like Eisley as well. So I doubt there would be many Eisley hecklers in the crowd... it will probably be the other way around if there was a tour. And from what I hear (someone mentioned that NFG and Paramore have a higher likelihood of going on tour with each other) there are rumors going around that NFG and Paramore might tour together in the UK. That's what I've been hearing at least. May be nothing. _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me.

I agree that anyone who listens solely to that kind of music needs to get out more, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to like those bands in addition to others who may have more musical or lyrical talent. That happens a lot when it's the first band that gets you into music... that's why I still love Semisonic. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I've never listened to Paramore, but I think you need to expand your horizons, I really think you should open your mind a little. Not that it matters what I think anyways, but seriously... It's the kind of people they are what's really important, not the music they play. If their music sucks, well, just don't listen to them; but if they are good people then it's great that the Eisleys are hanging out with them. My humble opinion. |

I don't get what the big deal is. Considering that both Hayley and Stacy are the same age and if you look it in an age way, they're going through the same things but maybe on differet levels so perhaps the songs aren't that different but are just presented in a different way. Combinations has a lot of songs about love, right? And RIOT! has songs about love but because Paramore do it in a pop-punk way while Eisley do it in a...more mature and less obvious kind of way. Whatever way, as long as the kids are happy that is what matters. It's good to see a band like Paramore who've been shoved into the limelight be able to be like normal teenagers and relax with people who have the low-key lifestyle that they used to have. |

Whoa, I just think there is no need to exaggerate here. The eisley gang obviously get along with the paramore crowd & there's nothing wrong with that. I think you should take it down a notch, you are over analyzing the whole situation. The eisley gang are not going to turn into paramore clones, they've already established what kind of band they are. Geez. |

I don't think anyone was questioning Eisley hanging out with Paramore, cause that's irrelevant. I think it's an argument over touring together and if they would match musically. Which they don't. I think My Blackened Crow was trying to say that the market for bands like Paramore tend to be pre-teens/young teenagers who may not look at music the same way that say a twenty-something or older adult would. And I think we all agree that Eisley has a more mature pop sound that is fitting for more than just that young audience. Unfortunately, I think most of the bands they tour with limit them to that kind of audience, and that they don't get the exposure they need elsewhere. So while an Eisley/Paramore tour would be really awesome, I don't know if it would really accomplish anything in terms of marketing outside of the "MTV crowd." Juuuust sayin'. |
