Just some things I've always wondered/ been curious about with Paramore. The most recent of these that I'm sharing is going to be about Jeremy "leaving", so I'm breaking my promise a bit. Some of these are my own, some I've found online, a...
So as the title suggest I will be discussing the recent rumor Zac Farro may be rejoining Paramore.
As we've seen yesterday and today, pictures of the band, producer Justin Meldal-Johnson, and Zac Farro have surfaced, albeit with cryptic and suggestive captions.

This is the first picture of the four, which was uploaded yesterday. Since the upload of the picture people have been speculating all over the place! An upcoming tour? A half/noise feature on the fifth album? These were the speculations, until today: when another picture of the four was posted with a similar, less taunting caption.

After this picture came out, it all seemed to be a little much. Now everyone from fans to magazines are speculating about a partial Paramore reunion.
As for my take on this, I'm both slightly excited, and a little bit sad. While I was a big fan of Paramore when Farro was there, and I think he is very talented and brought a lot to the table sound wise, I'm also a fan of the new Paramore. When the Farros left, Paramore made sure everyone knew that they didn't need them to be Paramore, and they were just fine on their own. I know people grow up and make amends, but I'm not sure how I feel about Zac just rejoining, when they've spent the past 4 years building up a reputation about how Paramore can stand on their own, and have done such a good job proving it thus far. Does that mean that they feel weak without Jeremy and think this will help strengthen them? Maybe. Maybe they hope that Zac coming back will encourage some of the old fanbase to return as well. Now, like I said, I am slightly excited by this teasing. As I said, I was a big fan of Paramore when he was there, I like half/noise, and I think maybe Zac could bring back some of that classic Paramore sound so many fans, including me, miss.
So, is Zac rejoining? Is he a producer? A featured artist? Who knows, but I wanna know what you guys think! Tell me how you feel about another three-piece Paramore, but with Zac? And I know what I said I'm my My Story post, but if Zac is rejoining, not simply featuring, I might be able to get on board with that. Thank you for reading this, I love you guys so much! - H
