Metro Xpress interviews Paramore

For Paramore, Scandinavian trip started in Copenhagen, Denmark where on 24th June they played an energetic show at Store Vega. Before that happened, the band met with Metro Xpress to discuss their Copenhagen mood, tour and play a game. What does Paramore love? Taylor goes for “eating and watching movies” while Jeremy is rather for… “partying.” English version of the interview is pasted under the cut. Thank you DenmarkParamore for giving us a hand!

How is it to be back in Denmark?
Hayley: We love it.
Taylor: Scandinavia is one of our favorite places in the world. Especially Copenhagen. It’s mood, its style, its beautiful buildings and then here’s so peaceful. It is one of the places where I feel safe when I walk on the street.

When do you guys arrive to Denmark?
Hayley: Yesterday.

What have you done so far?
Jeremy: We just walked around. We were up in a church where you go on the outside of the Tower. Insanely beuatiful view.

Okay, let’s play a game. Complete the sentence: We are Paramore, we love to …
Taylor: Eating and watching movies.
Jeremy: And partying.

We used to be …
Hayley: A bunch of chumps. But now we …
Taylor: Still some chumps, hahaha. OMG this is funny!

Our record label called our new album more ‘happy and optimistic’. We’ll just say it’s …
Hayley: I would actually say it is.
Taylor: I would say that it is the first time we are happy.

The best thing about our new album is …
Taylor: That it is more electric. It shows so many sides of us.

Reporters always ask ….
Jeremy: For Hayley’s natural hair color.
Hayley: Yes!

But we would rather …
Hayley: Talk about music!

The best thing about being in Paramore is …
Hayley: It is hard to describe.
Taylor: That we are allowed to travel around the world and meet our fans. We stood and looked out for our fans today. They sang new songs and we talked about how strange it was, because I could clearly remember when I wrote them down on paper. Then it’s also pretty cool to be in a band with my two best friends.

We learn never to …
Taylor: learn other languages. We feel always a little inferior when we come out, and can only speak one language. We try to learn words and sentences, but it is difficult when we are almost in a new country every day.

Do you know some Danish words?
Hayley: None.
Jeremy: But I love Danish music. I’m a big fan of Mew, Iceage and Efterklang.
Hayley: Is Efterklang Danish? Cool.
Taylor: We met Mew some years ago at a festival in Japan.
Hayley: I’d would love to see Iceage play. I have heard that they are insane. They sent a t-shirt to me some years ago. I have it today and, I would wear it tonight when we’re playing.

When we play in Denmark, insist our ‘rider’ always to bring us ….
Taylor: Just the usual. We are trying to get some special things on the list,but we’re not so good at that.
Hayley: We always get chocoloade and sweets when we are in Scandinavia. We are pretty big fans of that. We once asked about we could get a puppy just to see if we got one. We didn’t.

When we get up in the 30s, our ‘rider’ will consist of …
Hayley: Our ‘rider’ is similar to already know that we are in their 30s, haha. We always get a lot of healthy things. So when we get up in the 30s, it becomes really, really sad. So is it just something with dry biscuits and artificial oxygen.
