Paramore: "We hated each other"

In a world exclusive interview in this week's Kerrang! magazine, Tennessee pop punks Paramore reveal how they nearly split up earlier this year.

"You know those bands that travel separately because they hate each other and they get offstage and don't talk to each other? That's what it was for us," frotnwoman Hayley Williams told K!

"We'd just gotten to a point where we were sick of dealing with everything.," she added. "We were so tired from being on the road for two years, and we just hated each other."

"It felt like we were going to implode!" explans drummer Zac Farro. "It really did. We were just, day-to-day, 'Oh, I'm really sick of you right now because your breath stinks'. That's how bad it got on tour. We were upset about anything and everything."

For the full story, and to find out how making new album Brand New Eyes brought them back together, be sure to pick up a copy of this week's K!

Yawn, what is it with bands and nearly splitting up reaching the news when a new album surfaces? This isn't the first time with them either.

Their banter must be like next to nothing if they really have that many problems.

it makes me laugh how people will put comments for a band they hate, if u hate them so much, why read an article about them and write shit about them, yeah u have your opinion, but it seems pretty pointless and a waste of time, you obviously have lots of time on your hands :) anyways, PARAMORE ROCK! hopefully seein them on tour :) fantastic :) xxxxx

Haha that is so true Nathan lol.

The reason for all the tension is simply because Hayley stopped blowing the rest of the band!

i was really upset when i first heard the rumors that they where gonna split and that the band felt like they couldnt be around each other anymore, thier one of my all time fav bands and their music really helps me and to think they where gonna split was horrable but hearing they where sorting it all out and wernt gonna quit it did remind me why i love this music so much paramore rock and thier just individually awsome people so happy they didnt split and i really cant wait for brand new eyes its gonna be awsome! xo

I do like Paramore but Jesus Christ.

I wish every interview didn't have to revolve around the split, why not just focus on the new album.

I'm pretty sure Kerrang have reported the split about a hundred times already, what more could possibly be said...

Pass doesn't necessarily mean with high grades :)
How old are you? Seriously, your spelling is terrible.

We were so close to losing one of the most cliche sounding bands of the 21st century thus far. Damn, close yet far.

I think you'll find it is spelt 'grammar'.

Tbf, i was fucking gutted when i heard that they weren't splitting up. She's a complete fucking self-obsessed bitch, who is in a shitty band. The sooner Paramore are no longer the fucking better!

Everyone one has got opinions but that doesn't mean you have to out it. Please, read before you send something.

About Paramore. I agree that almost every article I've read about them since the Final Riot tour is about them splitting. It looks like they have got nothing else to say about it.

fortunately they still make good music. On the 29th I'll be there to collect the new album.

Ow right, I'm a non-english speaking person (I'm actually Belgian) so any mistakes I made in this text is due to the fact that I dont speak nor write English every day. But I must say that some native speakers around here should work on their English. Kerrang is an international magazine so it would be nice if I could read, instead of puzzling, all of the made comments

With no bad intentions posted en just loving the music.

Paramore Frontman Hayley Williams, was caught "Pegging" a Deaf-Blind Child behind Oxford Street's HMV,

I should know, It was Me

Like 30 Seconds To Mars Frontwoman Jared Leto, Paramore guitarist Josh Farro has sex with Homosexual Midget Rentboys

I should know, He's My best Customer

I'd rather stick my Cock in Elton John's Semen-Stained Anus than listen to any of Paramore's Testicle-Free Albums

Fuck You All......Everyone!!

Why bother about someone's spelling?, Taking the time to point other people's mistakes only makes you seem like a complete dick (Who needs to nail some pussy....BIG TIME!!)

It's almost as gay as "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and that's complete and utter Faggotry

............simply Faggotry

No straight man would ever utter the words "I LOVE YOU PARAMORE and am super happy you guys didnt split up!", The Fagulator 5500 detects strong gay forces from this Section

So Paramore walk into a bar, but no one recognizes them because the bouncer did his job and didnt let any 14 year olds in.

I like to go the extra mile to make a simple point.

This is bullshit. Let me repeat. Bullshit. They never wanted to split up! How do i know this? Cuz if u even BOTHER to look on lifejournal, twitter or there own website you;d see there not 14 ( To micheal ) and that they have never been in a fight, The biggest disagreement they ever had was on there tour to find out what song to play next and that wasnt even a proper yelling fight. Theyve been on tour for more than 2 years and there happy as ever so id watch what you say. And the lifejournal, twitter and and website is from them because a they mentioned in on there live riot dvd and its posted pics of them no one else can get :/ ( no not inepropriate pictures either) So fuck you kerrang magazine this is all a big lie. ITS BULL SHIT! ( I am a huge fan of paramore and have many friends who would also agree because most of us love paramore too )

if you're going to talk about a band, do it on your own website. no one here cares about you not liking paramore. none of the people here are talking about the bands you listen to. you'd probably get mad if one of us talked crap about your favorite bands. GET A LIFE AND MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE THAT YOU CAN GO AND POST YOUR STUPID COMMENTS LIKE THAT ON!!!! YOU CAN'T PLAY ANY BETTER THAN THEY CAN!!!! I THINK THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!!!!!
