Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor (May 8, 2020) Album • Page 60

Amazing interview! TWO MORE DAYS, LET'S GO

 

holy shit what the fuck is wrong with people

 

Fucking gross. I'm glad that John and Michelle were upset about it too.

Also I kind of figured, but I'm glad to see from that interview that she and Sherri Dupree-Bemis are on good terms with each other now. Definitely seems like a good, important step in the healing process

 

I can't tell from there, was John pissed at Hayley or at his friend who said the thing?

 

Noo he was pissed at his friend, she didn't want to mention the bands name at first because it wasn't something they were ok with

 

ok good, phew.

sucks to read about her Warped experience

 

given what we know about the whole culture surrounding that tour and the scene it gave rise to, it's sadly unsurprising

 

surprised to see what people in the pop punk scene treated a teenage girl poorly

 

to clarify, I am not surprised. Just sad to hear, as it always would be.

 

Am I understanding that quote correctly that it was one of the non-John/Michelle members of straylight that said that about her?

Another day, another disappointment I guess..

 

no one of John's friends

 

Ah thanks. Reading the actual interview right now and just got to that part ha.

 

That interview... wow. Unbelievably raw and personal.

 

Yeah that was my favorite interview I've read/seen with her

 

The level of depth and intimacy she's been demonstrating in this press cycle is so inspiring. At times it almost feels like too much---like I'm listening in on a conversation I'm not a part of---but seeing her articulate her struggle, grief, confusion, etc also feels empowering. Like if she can name it, so can I. And I know the record will be the same.

 

Great interview. The bit about Warped Tour culture is full-on, but sadly, somewhat unsurprising.

That drive-by on Straylight Run, woah.

 

I can’t believe in 23 hours I will be listening to this whole thing.

 

Honestly the craziest thing about that vulture interview for me is the image of a 15 year old Hayley in a room with lawyers demanding she be in a band. Crazy.

 

@ImAMetaphor already said something to this effect, but I really have never seen any artist be as open and honest as Hayley has been in these interviews.

 

Even without being really surprised by any parts of the interview, I found myself gasping multiple times. Just the way she's transparently sharing her experiences is inspiring, and I admire how much she's taking control of Paramore and her own narrative back.

 

john is that dude
