The following is quoted from tampabay.com......
So far, Gwen Stefani hasn't taken Hayley Williams out for ice cream. 或者 shared her secrets of the 音乐 industry. 或者 helped Williams start a clothing line.
"The tour has just barely started," Williams 说 由 e-mail recently. "No one is really in hang mode yet. Once we get in the groove of things I'm sure there will be 更多 talks and hang sessions."
That would make sense. Because as the singers of one of the most 流行的 female-fronted rock groups of the past 20 years (No Doubt) and one of the most 流行的 female-fronted rock groups of, well, today (Paramore), Stefani and Williams would probably have plenty to talk about.
帕拉摩尔 has enjoyed No Doubt-like success over the past two years. The four-piece outfit from Franklin, Tenn., scored big in 2007 with the platinum-selling Riot!, which spawned the hit singles Misery Business, Crushcrushcrush and That's What 你 Get, and led to a Best New Artist Grammy nomination.
帕拉摩尔 is preparing a new album for release in September, and has been playing some new songs on this tour. "Our 粉丝 seem to like them," Williams said, "which is an awesome sign."
Tbt* recently swapped e-mails with Williams to get her thoughts on the No Doubt tour, not to mention Paramore's early shows in Florida and the weirdest thing she's ever Tweeted.
I remember 帕拉摩尔 playing smaller shows in Tampa and St. Pete years ago. What do 你 remember about your early shows in Florida?
I was really nervous. Back then we were playing acoustic because Jeremy (Davis) quit and we had no 低音 player. So I would play rhythm 吉他 to fill out the sound. I never like playing 吉他 on stage ... I'd much rather be running around and 表演 a fool. So, that aspect of it always made me a little anxious. The shows were great though. I think back on them a lot. They were intimate and a lot of fun.
I see you've joined the Twitter brigade. What's the weirdest thing you've Tweeted?
"okay. he's touching the 熊 poop. with finesse. now i'm pissed". I was tweeting about the Grizzly Man movie that Jeremy and I watched on the bus.
Were 你 粉丝 of No Doubt growing up? Are they 粉丝 of yours? What do 你 dig about their music?
I'm definitely a No Doubt fan. I'm not sure how much of our 音乐 they know but they have 说 they like us. I need no further explanation than that! There's no one thing to like about them. They all bring so much to the table
Did 你 ever go through a ska phase in the '90s, 或者 was that a little before your time?
The whole ska thing was just barely before my time but I still managed to get into Reel Big Fish, The Impossibles and older No Doubt at a certain point. Josh (Farro, guitar) really loved The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
No Doubt is one of the bigger female-fronted rock acts of the past 25 years. Who are some women in rock 你 look up to?
I don't have a lot of female role models. Gwen Stefani is definitely someone to look up to ... but growing up I just didn't see any famous women and think, "I want to be like that!" Although, I did really like TLC.
Are 你 tired of these questions? A ton of people have already made the obvious No Doubt-Paramore parallels, and the central theme seems to be, "Their singer is a woman." Does that bum 你 out?
It's a shallow comparison but nothing that I thought we'd avoid. It's a 给 and I'm okay with that. After all, a No Doubt comparison is one of the best.
Lightning round! Tenacious D 或者 Flight of the Conchords?
Tenacious D 'cause I'm O.G.
TV 显示 (past 或者 present) 你 wish they'd turn into a movie? And who would 你 cast in it?
Freaks and Geeks with all-original cast.
What's a YouTube video that makes 你 laugh?
