Som ni säkert vet så är Paramore på omslaget utav detta nummer utav Alternativ Press. Dom har nu postat en artikel som inte är med i tidningen om när Hayley var på omslaget utav Cosmo för ett tag sen.
Hayley, I was reading some of the Paramore diary/blog entries from this year. There is a theme of rebirth in what you were talking about—like when you were discussing how you were on the cover of Cosmo earlier this year. You were saying things like, “I’m going to accept my role” within Paramore.
Hayley Williams: I still think about that. Being on Cosmo is not something I’ve ever strived for. I never was like, “I want to be a Cosmo girl.” I don’t know if you know me, but I don’t typically care about things like that—even [though] as a girl, I love fashion magazines, I love beauty products. That was a weird thing for me to go through, because I did have to accept, like, “Dude. Cosmo magazine just came to me and they were like, “You know what? Your band’s kickass, we like you. Come be on our cover.” What other band band are they even talking to? Other than a pop singer like Rihanna, all the rest of the cover girls this year have been actresses—I remember right before me was Olivia Wilde. [They were] just gorgeous, beautiful women—and I will never put myself in the ranking of those women. It’s not like I have super issues with myself—I definitely am like any other person, I’m self-conscious a lot of times—but I will never put myself on a list of women. But Cosmo did.
Holy crap! I still don’t accept it, and I still don’t feel like it was real, but I accept the fact now more than ever that I am the girl in Paramore, and even though I don’t always want people looking at me, sometimes they’re going to. And I gotta get over it and stop whining about it. Because we’re okay—we weren’t okay, and that’s probably what made me so kind of insecure about being the singer. But we’re fine now, and I don’t have anything to prove to [my bandmates]—they know I’m not trying to be, like, [Gestures like she’s attention-getting] all the time.
That was a head trip doing Cosmo, for sure. I’ll never wear those outfits ever again. [Laughs.]
Jeremy Davis: Anything [published] that looks like she’s standing out in front of everyone else in the band, she’s always not like that. Even though [Taylor and I are] sitting there—or anyone else—we’re sitting there, saying, “It’s important to do that.” Even music magazines that we do will have her on the cover and not the full band—but the band name is right there. You have to be okay and be confident to be able to do something like that.
Taylor York: That’s true. I think probably since the beginning [of the band we] all did have to work through our own insecurities. Now we’re at a place where me and Jeremy…[Laughs] We kind of feel bad sometimes, because we like when she gets attention, because we can go places and people don’t really know who we are. I’m like, “Oh, we can be normal!” But she’s really good at handling her position.
We did have to work through insecurities and become more confident and realize our identity isn’t in this band, necessarily. The amount of people that want an autograph or the amount of pictures that we get—that’s just not what our identity is. We just love playing music and being in a band. We realized—you know, if Hayley wants to do this shot by herself and we’re not in it, well, that’s an outfit I don’t have to find. [Everybody laughs.] You just have to look at the positives.
But yeah—we don’t care at all. People always assume that me and Jeremy are super-bitter, we just hate she gets this attention…
Williams: Yeah, that was always the story.
York: Which has never been the case. It’s not important to us.

Paramore kommer att vara på omslaget av Alternative Press: “Most Anticipated Music of 2012″ januari 2012 frågan. Mer information om frågan och hur man köpa den finns här.
Frågan inkluderar en ny fotografering och en ny intervju med Paramore. Bilderna har tagits av bandets fotograf Lindsey Byrnes i New York City och intervju har skrivits av APs Annie Zalenski.
Paramore’s frequent use of the word “fun” [during AP’s interview] is heartening, especially because the band admit that being in Paramore hasn’t always been fun in previous years.
“We’ve always enjoyed what we do,” guitarist Taylor York says, “but we’d watch other bands on tour with us and they would just be having a blast. They’d be in vans, all cramming in one hotel room. Every day, they were just stoked to be there. In my head, I’m like, ‘Either they’re just really mistaken’”—at this, everybody laughs—“‘or we’re missing something. I don’t think it’s possible to have that much fun.’”
“I felt so bad for the longest time, because we made being in a band look like it wasn’t fun,” adds frontwoman Hayley Williams. “In my opinion. Other people might not have thought that, but you imagine all the interviews we did where it was just like, ‘Uhhh…’
“It’s important for young people to know how much fun it is to make music with your friends,” she continues. “You have to fight for it, of course, but it’s the biggest gift to play music for people, and it’s a gift even if you’re not playing for anybody. It’s fun, and I’m excited. We’re stoked to have that spirit revolving around this [forthcoming] album and just relax into the process.”
The members of Paramore admit keeping things low-key—and being selective about their promotional obligations—helped them get through the year. But paradoxically, getting back on the road and being around their fans was good for morale. York says Paramore started rediscovering how much they enjoy being in a band together while touring this year, especially when they traveled to South America in February. “This winter, when Zac and Josh left, we went through a really hard time,” he says. “I think we had to go through that. We all love each other, but we had to come together so closely that we really rediscovered how much we really love each other—and how much we love playing music. We had to go through that to realize what we had.”
“For a while, it felt like music was our only escape, like soundcheck or shows,” says bassist Jeremy Davis. “And it never was long enough; you didn’t really want to leave soundcheck, because that’s whenever nothing else mattered. We’ve always had a blast onstage, had fun with the fans and the interaction and everything. But it seems like so much more fun [now], I have no idea why. What used to not be fun, we find joy in—and find joy in each other. It shows in every way, even onstage. Now we’re bouncing all over the place and smiling. If you mess up, it’s like, ‘Whatever, it’s music.’”

Zimbio.com har gjort en artikel om vilka som är Hayley’s favorit låtar, här har ni hela artikeln.
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams spends a lot of time recommending tunes to her 2 million-plus Twitter fans, whether she’s encouraging them to check out the latest New Found Glory album (her boyfriend, Chad Gilbert, happens to be their guiltarist) or singing praise for classics like The Angels’ “I Adore Him.”
Hayley gets a lot of love from her fellow celebs, too: Rihanna once told Vanity Fair that Paramore was her favorite band, and she’s close friends with Taylor Swift, who invited Hayley to sing a duet with her at a recent show.
1. “Carrying the Banner,” The Newsies Soundtrack
Like many an ’80s-born kid, Hayley grew up watching some deliciously cheesy Disney musicals. She told SPiN that this tune is her all-time favorite song, explaining, “I grew up watching Newsies with my mom — and luckily, so did a few of my friends. Well, they never watched it with my mom but… you get it. We always blast this one on road trips!”
2. “I’m Not the One,” New Found Glory
Williams’ dedication to her boyfriend Chad Gilbert is obvious – she can’t stop gushing about his music. She called this song one of her favorites on Twitter, writing, “It’s so catchy it actually hurts my face” (she likes to write about her face a lot). When a fan pointed out her obvious bias, she tweeted, “hahah no i just like to think i have excellent taste in catchy tunes.”
3. “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now,” The Smiths
Hayley listens to a lot of The Smiths, and she does have favorites: “Ask,” and this tune, a 1984 hit. She even has dreams about Morrissey, although they’re unpleasant: “[I] I dreamed I was in a school cafeteria and something really bad happened to Morrissey. He was brought in on a stretcher and then rolled through the room to some kind of hospital. And I just started crying uncontrollably. Then I woke up. It was awful.”

Tidningen Blare Magazine har intervjuat Anthony Raneri, sångaren i bandet Bayside.
Han nämner några gånger Paramore och Hayley Williams i dom frågorna han får
Name an album you haven’t stopped listening to lately.
I’ve really been into the The Green Album, the Muppets tribute album. Weezer does a song with Hayley Williams that’s mind-blowing; there are days I listen to that song five times in a row because I just keep rewinding it. Alkaline Trio does a really cool song on the album too, OK Go! as well.
Who do you think is the most underrated musician today?
I think they’re about to get the appreciation they deserve, but I’d say I Am The Avalanche. They’ve been a band for about six years and they’ve been touring for a long time and their new record is another that I’ve been addicted to lately. I really hope it’s the album that catapults them onto a new level. Also, it’s really weird to say this because she’s so enormously famous but I’ve always thought that Paramore got a really bad rap, just for having a girl singer and because of the popularity and how they’ve become teen sensations. How incredible the band actually is and how they write every note of a song themselves really goes unnoticed. Hayley can sing well and their live shows are so tight.
I see them to be another Foo Fighters; to me, they are a badass rock bad and I don’t think most of the world looks at them that way at all.
What was the last concert you’ve attended as a spectator?
I went to the Fueled By Ramen anniversary show a couple weeks ago where bands like Paramore, Gym Class Heroes and The Stereo played. It was great because I used to listen to The Stereo back in high school and they haven’t been a band for a long time. I actually go to a lot of shows when I’m home but that anniversary concert was really cool because I’ve had friends at Fueled By Ramen since they started 15 years ago. As a band we’ve always had a close tie to that label even though we’ve never been signed to them. It was pretty special to me to see a lot of my friends there at that show because I can remember them starting the label in dorm rooms and basements.
Fueled by Ramen har postat en video där banden från skivbolaget pratar om deras fans, spolar ni fram till 0:52 och 1:48 berättar Jeremy om oss fans, ävev så säger Nate från bandet Fun. att Paramore fansen är galna!
