No he isn't. He should finish just when they come on.

Not at Leeds.

[Vieuphoria]

ahhh yeah. Forgot there was another festival.

[saskofreak]

yea im looking foward to them, more looking foward to blink though.

They were fantastic. I'd say only Limp Bizkit and Blink were better. Only thing was the lack of "My Heart" but other than that, they were flawless. On the highlights you can clearly make out the whole crowd singing. I don't know if it's because of the way the sound mic's were very close on the stage but it was that loud.

I have to say, they were dire
Crowd was full of Blink fans, the sound was crap, they shouldn't of been anywhere near as high a spot as they were, completely outshone by Weezer beforehand
Just stuck out like a sore thumb as a fairly talentless band in the middle of the a run of top class nostalgia bands (Limp Bizkit, Cypress Hill, Weezer, Blink) who all proved that they were more than just that

[Vieuphoria]

The crowd was frickin huge. I was very surprised at their drawing power. More power to them i guess. Personally thought it was a bit lackluster though... I decided i wanted a spring roll instead

I thought they were great and sounded fantastic from where I was stood. Reports deffo suggest that the sound was poor elsewhere though.

I think like Blink they're also very much a you like them or you don't kind of band, esp with the female vocals. Like Blink I can easily see why many will think they're utter dung

[Dan R]

The crowd was huge but where I was stood, I only saw about 4 or 5 actual Paramore fans
The rest seemed to be Blink fans after a decent space
They didn't seem to get a great reaction and you could see Hayley weren't happy about it

[Vieuphoria]

really? Where i was everyone was dancing and singing. And i was fairly far back and to the side. It was a bloody massive crowd. Depressingly so

[Dan R]

I think a lot of the Paramore fans (ie 15 year old girls) were scared off a bit by the massive crowd of Blink fans who weren't entertained by Paramore, so will have gone further back
I could barely hear the band over the chants of "We want Blink!" and the inevitable "Get yer tits out for the lads!"
Got fecking annoying after the first few songs of just hearing that
But literally only the odd one or two people around me were there for Paramore, and I was pretty much dead centre of the front section
Dunno what it was like at Reading though

[Huwbacca]

Paramore were pretty terrible which is a shame because I know they can be good live, the previous two times i've seen them they were top notch. But yeah most of the people around me were there for blink, at Leeds Hayley didn't seem happy with something, I can only assume someone held up a sign asking her to get her tits out  

[Hart Attack]

I thought they were great - one of my top four bands of the weekend, along with Blink-182, Weezer and Limp Bizkit. Really enjoyed their performance, and can't wait to see them again in November.

[lucastang]

They were the most disappointing band to say the least. To be fair, the crowd were a bit dire, as one of myself, a lot of them were just waiting for a good spot for Blink. I knew a few songs and I quite like them, but really didn't do anything for me.
The only people I could see enjoying it and singing along at the top of their voices were 14/15 scene teenage girls and scene kid boys, and only knew the third album and none of the first two. I even heard them say, "Why aren't they headlining?" That made me chuckle.

[Role Model]

The slot was just too big for them as most expected, they just couldn't cope with it, not really their fault though. In the afternoon they'd have been far more at home, and it would probably would have been better received by me personally, but 2nd to last band on the mainstage? Nope, didn't work.

Plenty of people near me where into them though, so it's not like no one wanted to see them, but we all knew they'd get a big crowd, hence why they had the slot.
