That set is is perfection, holy shit. I'm so sad my date is ACL so they probably will have to make cuts, and I probably won't see Simmer but good lord I can't wait for next weekend.
Cool to see decode and I caught myself on there! Set needs more last hope/daydreaming/part II, the holy triumvirate of s/t
Four years ago, we said we were gonna retire this song for a little while, and I guess technically we did. But what we did not know was that just about five minutes after I got cancelled for saying the word ‘whore’ in a song, all of TikTok decided that it was ok. Make it make sense. “I remember a time when we had a MySpace and we were still a really small band. We were really small. We hadn’t even put out this song and we had noticed that kids were calling themselves ‘Parawhores’. We were like, ‘Eugh, that’s weird!’ But I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s a word, and if you’re cool you won’t call a woman a whore because that’s bullshit. We can all learn from ourselves, right? Just for the record, 90% of you said whore tonight. That’s all I’m gonna say. I’m not gonna preach about it. I’m just gonna say thank you for being nostalgic about this because this is one of the coolest moments of our show and it’s very nice to feel like there’s a reason to bring it back that’s positive.
Few pages late, but regarding all the touring discussion: I saw Paramore "open" for Fall Out Boy on that amphitheater tour in 2014. The show was awesome, and Fall Out Boy was fantastic, but Paramore was so much better and their set was full of so much energy and they looked/sounded/presented as the headliner. It hurt the crowd for FOB and felt like they were being shown up. That was when I figured out Paramore just shouldn't open for anyone.
Honestly, she could have left it at the “Fuck it” at the start of the song and I’d be just as on board with them playing it.
"Monster" is the superior Paramore soundtrack song, and I wish they were playing that instead of "I Caught Myself", but other than that the setlist is fun as hell. A bit much After Laughter, but I'm fine with that.
