Tennessee emo-rockers Paramore dropped by for Gigwise’s Tuborg Webchat Wednesday today (February 6) and, as expected, in a year-and-a-half of chats it was our busiest one yet.

Fans from all over the globe, including their huge Brazilian community, posed their questions to guitarist Josh Farro and bassist Jeremy Davis and there was a variety of hot topics talked about – including religion and the US Presidential race.

When asked who they were backing to be the next President, Josh replied: “I haven’t really looked into US politicians that much this year. I really hope Hillary Clinton doesn’t get elected cause she’s crazy!!!!”

In response, Renan wrote: “The US needs a crazy person in charge, no offence.” Before Josh replied: “Why do we need a crazy person in charge? What good would that do?”

Elsewhere during the chat, Josh compared Amy Winehouse to another fallen pop star, saying: “Amy winehouse is the British version of Britney spears.”

Talking about his favourite current music, Jeremy revealed that he’s listening to Christian metalcore band Oh Sleeper, Iron and Wine and Death Cab for Cutie.

The pair also confirmed that they have no plans to make rhythm guitarist Taylor York a permanent member of the band yet, saying it “we don’t wanna add a member right now. We feel that it would be too confusing.”

Tune in for Tuborg Webchat Wednesday next week when Justice will be calling in for a chat.

  • Wow. What idiots. Shame uninformed morons get the right to vote. And the difference between Amy Winehouse and Britney? Amy always had talent. Of course this guy doesn’t seem to have much of that so no wonder he can’t recognise it.

  • So on what basis has this chap formed the inspired opinion that Mrs Clinton is crazy? Completed a doctorate in Psychology or American politics? Doubt it. Back up your opinions if you are in a position to cast judgement and influence so many young people reading your comments.

  • This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Why would anyone even take what he said seriously, considering the first thing he said was ”I havent really looked into US politicians that much this year.” Hillary Clinton is a great candidate, even though I’m backing Obama, I’d be just as happy if she was elected.

  • Real smart Josh. At least you acknowledge your lack of insight into th subject. Your comments are ignorant and will have a bad reflection on the band. I kost a lot of respect for you and the band. ouch...unwise.
