The 14 Days That Destroyed Paramore’s Tour

Guitar Meets Science | August 1, 2026



Paramore faced a internal firestorm that nearly ended the band at the height of their success. This week, we explore the dramatic rise and fractured history of Hayley Williams and the Farro brothers, from their early days in Tennessee to the explosive 2010 breakup that shocked the emo scene. We’ll uncover the truth behind the secret record deal, the lawsuits involving bassist Jeremy Davis, and the infamous blog post that exposed the band’s deepest tensions. From the success of “Misery Business” to their recent Grammy wins and independent era, we dive into every chapter of their turbulent journey. Kindly like and subscribe – it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu

    Your genuine, honest takes, as a real human voice, are a big part of what I dig about your channel. Super authentic, uber informative, human-produced content. Don't change a thing.

    Ya know, at 52 I'm well outside their target demographic, but I legit love Paramore's first couple albums. I was the 6th person to watch the Misery Business video on YouTube- I happened to be on Fueled By Ramen's page at the moment it was released 😁👍

    Great work! That burn at the end was magnificent. Keep on keeping on. We all love what you're doing and appreciate that you are cranking these out day after day. It's a phenomenal level of output that requires serious work and dedication. Whilst I'm aware of Paramore, by the time they were a thing I was deep down the rabbit hole of djent (which is absolutely NOT nu metal!!!) and digging back into Metheny, Holdsworth, King Crimson etc. One thing you can say for Paramore though, they stayed the course of their contract without serious friction with the label. Not a lot of bands achieve that.

    Man, it is such a drag to have some jerk be overly critical when I would rather hear a human talk than a f__king AI robot!!! We are trying to learn about human nature, music and history here in this space. Let the man present the material without distracting.
