do not be afraid. wrote: actually, out of boredom/insomnia/etc i looked up the "listeners also bought" section for Paramore's last record (they don't have one for just artists, except for a very small list on the artist's iTunes page), and there was only one band that matched up between both lists! i also looked up the list for "Combinations", and Paramore isn't on it! so i think it's pretty obviously not what CUBSWINWORLDSERIES says it is… not that i ever had any doubts… Wait, but it could still be based on sales. Eisley fans might have a superior number of buyers who also got those bands than does Paramore buyers of Eisley. So just because enough people who buy Eisley buy Paramore for them to show up on Eisley's list does not mean that enough Paramore fans buy Eisley for Eisley to show up on Paramore's list. Wait, what I have in my head makes perfect sense. I'm just typing it poorly.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Ha. This has become so intricate. But as regular poster/part-time lurker on both Paramore and Eisley boards I would say most Paramore fans like Eisley. Paramore fans are nuts (both good and bad) and will check everything related to Paramore.. even if its a picture of Stacy and Zach just hanging out. They will eat it up and listen to Eisley (which is a good thing). |

I'm sure the band loves reading all the Paramore bashing.

There's a nice way to say you don't care for a band. That's not it. |

It's kinda like, how would you react if someone was bashing Eisley? I'm just going to assume that you really wouldn't like it; that you'd go completely mad! Most people don't want to see their favorite band get talked badly about, even though it's bound to happen, but I think at times it can just go without being said. Like now. You don't like Paramore. Well, okay. Some people do. To each it's own. You've made your point. The End. |

But people here don't really like it, and I'm not terribly fond of the environment it creates, either. The people who own this forum -- the band, who DO lurk and read this -- especially don't like it. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

The art of bashing involves making it clear that band X is ~*lovely*~ in your opinion, not in your fact. No one cares or should be offended by your opinion, but if you make it seem like what you say is an absolute term for everyone, then this happens. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart!
