Paramore's energy especially from Hayley WIlliams and her ability to command the stage like a dance floor still with mic in hand shows their ability to become the newest pop-rockers of the world.
Opening with Josh and the distorted electric guitar oppf the opening song of their 40 minute set - Ignorance really encapsulated the crowd - until Hayley takes the stage. Paramore's ability to write short, fast and loud songs for the popular culture of the Western World sees them take the crowd by storm with their 4th disc - Brand New Eyes. Anger and happiness cross in Hayley's voice and image with the iconic lyric from the new record - 'Ignorance is your new best friend.'
Following in a 35 degree day out at Eastern Creek in Sydney, it doesn't bother them although Hayley still has to ask the crowd if they are ok in the blistering heat, and they following with other classics from Riot which all fans were hoping for - and they weren't disappointed. Crushcrushcrush and That's What You Get were some older singles from their breakthrough record, and this following with the inevitable popular tracks from Brand New Eyes, which made No. 1 in Oz, and even Hayley doesn't know how it happened.
After a break and the introduction as well as the short but sweet banter from Hayley WIlliams - 'This is gonna be a fun set, it already is... So let me ask you a question, and there is no right answer, 'No' is acceptable... Who has our new record?' (screaming, yelling). They continue with Careful and Let The Flames Begin and set the crowd on fire with Pressure - the classic track from their first record, All We Know Is Falling.
Is there another track to top the already fantabulous set? You fucking better believe it. for those rare Twilight fans out there, Paramore's Decode deom the soundtrack set fans wild and with limited time left, we all knew what tracks were remaining. Misery Business followed and the crowd all joined in with Hayley's true dancing 'moves' coming out when Josh started banging the guitar solo.
With energy at a peak in the pit, what could be left? Brick by Boring Brick, the radio hit on Triple J and a crowd favourite with full participation for the whole song. Fans couldn't wait for the final 30 seconds of the set as we all chanted - 'Pa da pa pa da pa pa da!'
