Josh Farro: "I'm not on the best terms with Paramore"

Ex-Paramore guitarist Josh Farro has told MTV News that he hopes his former bandmates will like his new band Novel American, although, understandably from his pre-Christmas blogging, he's "not on the best terms [with them] right now."

"I hope that will change," he said. "Maybe they'll like it? I don't know. I mean honestly, we're not on the best terms right now."

He added that he will listen to their next album when it's officially released later this year or early next year.

"I'll be curious [to hear it]," he added. "I mean, I invested the last seven years of my life into that band, so I think it would be weird if I just cut it off completely. I'm interested in seeing what they come up with, and I'm sure it will be good. I hear Taylor [York] and Hayley [Williams] are writing, and Taylor's a great writer, and so is Hayley. I'm sure they'll come up with great stuff."

Sick of hearing about Paramore. I am however interested in what Josh Farro's band will sound like.

What a surprise. We didn't know that, like, from him leaving.

Where are the fangirls? I need a good laugh.

Really, I think it's going to take more than a compliment on their writing to make up for all of the unfair accusations...

'we're not on the best terms right now'

no shit -.-
this isn't exactly news.

kerrang, do us all a favour, and quit the constant articles about paramore.

it's getting boring and irritating, it's like a fucking soap opera.

keep hayley williams off the front cover. it's only for 12 year old girls who want to be her and 12 year old boys who keep wondering why they feel funny when they see her.

get reporting on better bands that stand the test of time, and produce much better material than this "omg my life is so hectic!! im getting dumped/ im dumping him!! OMFG my hair isnt ginger enough!!!"

GET A GRIP FFS!!!

hey josh...i dont think you would be on the best terms with Paramore after that shitty blog you wrote about them. just go fuck off with your band novel american and leave Paramore alone. im sure they'll be better off without you and zac.

Hey guys, can everyone quit bitching about Paramore? We are STILL a band and Josh- you're a dickhead! We'll be the ones who are laughing when we are playing arenas and your band can't even get a gig :D

I love Hayley Williams she is so amazing and i love Paramore they are my favourite band ever and i like to pretend that they are my best friends because i love them so much and they are just amazing yeah.

Posted by Josh Farro | February 14, 2011 10:17 AM | Reply to this

I'm only joking i freaking hate Paramore and i hate Hayley Williams even more she is evil and she attacked me and i just hate her okay she is an attenion seeker and egotistical and i know that the only person she cares about is herself especially because her hair is so big because IT'S FULL OF SECRETS.

Posted by Josh Farro | February 14, 2011 10:18 AM | Reply to this

Hayley Williams? She's fabulous but she's evil.

Posted by Chad Gilbert | February 14, 2011 10:19 AM | Reply to this

For all those pissing around - grow up. If you don't like it, don't comment. Don't even read it.

In my own opinion, he's changed his tune a bit since leaving. Whatever, I'll give Paramore and Novel American a chance.

Josh Farro IS A SON OF A BITCH, ONE STREET little slut, who gave Ass ANY ONE, THIS WAS BORN IA PRAGUE, Q BROUGHT ONLY THING BAD PRO PARAMORE

Posted by PARALOVER | March 8, 2011 6:36 PM | Reply to this

I agree with some of the comments above. Pramore will have the same sound as before. Farro's new band sounds more appealing that a new paramore album

Posted by Jess | March 8, 2011 7:35 PM | Reply to this

Um, you guys are really petty. If you don't like Paramore, don't comment.

Josh keeps changing what he's saying about Paramore when he should just let them be themselves. From your blog chock full of (false) accusations. Your the one who left, no one abandoned you.

I personally don't think I'm going to be Novel American's number one fan, but I'll give it a listen. It better be good or he'll have wasted everything.

Paramore is (still) a band
Paramore is a band

There are more important things to get upset about. Here's a list:

Libya
unemployment
Sex trafficking
Depression

Shift focus & get crackin'!

Cara a Hayley é foda independente do que vão dizer dela, o Josh ta sendo egoísta.

This is more about josh then paramore so everyone get a grip ffs! I have to say josh was incredibly immature for what he did (no just because im stating what i think does not make me a parawhore) and I dont exactly agree with his little tantrum in his blog, He is still dwelling on it because it is the only little thing he has left of paramore... and paramore themselves.. dont actually give a shit, they busy doing what they love while he is fishing for sympathy.. im glad your still on your feet paramore, and josh... stop with this shit already and move on..! cheezus!

Posted by Sarah | June 20, 2011 5:41 AM | Reply to this

With or without Josh and Zac, Paramore are always going to be a band. Josh has been fair enough that he'll listen to their new stuff, but at the same time, is he ding it to see whther they are better without them? As my maths teacher used to say, it'll all come out in the wash. Also, haters, go spam somewhere else! There are people who actually care about these things..
