are there any songs you think they should bring back for the setlist or a song you wish they would play live?
also which live performances are your favorite? (you could even go by era cuz i think each era is pretty unique)
ok so i need to start this off by saying BRING POOL BACK IMMEDIATELY!! please with the intro and everything. it’s just so fucking good. next up, which i know might be controversial, but i’d love to hear fences live once (i would watch this video all the time when i was younger, it just seems like a lot of fun). i always think it sounds so cool. and then obviously i’m on my knees screaming and crying for them to bring back Let The Flames Begin / Part II, which i know they’re probably sick of but it always turned out so good!!! and Turn It Off & Careful are my #1 picks. like, genuinely I need to hear them live or else. Also, Sugar on the Rim.
anyways i used to be better at pinpointing my favorite performances because i would watch them to a point where it was super concerning, now i’m a bit more mellow about it. however, since you asked i will attempt to deliver. just for you, dear anon.
this is in no particular order or anything, basically i’m just going off what i remember really saying damn this is good about (which is super easy when you love a band like paramore).
First off let’s start with the Miracle Outro performed during Brand New Eyes era. this song just goes so fucking hard and i curse Josh Farro for the fact that he wrote it so they couldn’t record it and release it since he left the band soon thereafter.
Paramore at Wembley Arena in 2009 — This concert is so good. like thank god this person filmed it and decided to upload it to youtube. I cannot get enough of Intro / Ignorance. truly.
RTMorasonMD had a great full concert vid from 2010, the sound quality is great for 2010 too. considering most of the time videos look like they were filmed with an nintendo D.S..
Paramore at The House of Blues in Anaheim, California (2006) this is like nostalgia city for me. I remember running my old paramore fan account on instagram and stumbling on this and being like… i’ve hit the paramore jackpot. shout out to Paramore History for always posting the real hard to find stuff… where would we be without you?
When Paramore performed Careful at Warped Tour in 2011 or like the whole Warped Tour Set — i will say this over and over again on this post but i have to be real with you when i say, i watched these videos so much it’s crazy. but careful was my favorite. i love careful. any performance or careful and i’m there.
Paramore live in Paris (2013) when i tell you i watched this religiously i mean it. i could probably do all the dance moves / movements hayley did in this specific video way back when. i was obsessed.
Paramore performing Let The Flames Begin / Part II at Bunbury in Cincinnati (2014) i just love this one. like all of these are just nostalgic for me and i can’t help but want to show you.
When Paramore performed Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and then it went into Hallelujah by Paramore (lol) at Parahoy (2016). What a way to open the show. i mean, i remember watching the final riot and being totally in love with Hayley’s voice and the way she sang it. I think I was introduced to Hallelujah by Shrek but Paramore was the second one to show me the ways of Leonard Cohen. Thanks for that.
I Caught Myself in Hamburg (2017) is an obvious one but I feel like I had to mention it… the emotion Hayley fucking pours into this performance makes me want to cry.
Turn It Off live from Grand Casino in Hickley, MN (2017) we’ve all seen this one i think? but what an incredibly breath taking performance of turn it off. i mean.. damn.
Fake Happy performed at Rock for People in the Czech Republic (2017) the quality is insane for this one. I remember being totally obsessed with this. so i’m adding it here; to share with you.
Pool / Idle Worship in Paris (2018) something must be in the water when they go to paris because i love these videos.
Pool live in Amsterdam (2018) is another one that came to mind cuz the sound quality goes crazy. it’s just beautiful.
The full 2018 RED ROCKS show because the sound is great and i just remembered being obsessed with this. you’re kinda cracking my head open like an egg with this ask and i love it.
Paramore at Concrete Street Amphitheater (2018) incredible footage, incredible show.
Simmer live in Bakersfield (2022) i have to add this because she’s gone too soon. like they should be performing this one nonstop. but i also understand crystal clear is a bop so it’s fine… i’m fine. PLAY SUGAR ON THE RIM OR ELSE!!!
Crystal Clear debut in Dublin / Dreams (the cranberries cover) (2023) I mean….. we all know about the Dreams cover but I just have to add it here because wow. i love it. it’s incredible. and the crystal clear debut is just insane because the person filming that knew what they were doing. High Quality to the MAX baby.
Crave / Outro live at The O2 in London (2023) I mean I just love this video. like, what’s not to love.
Speaking of quality, this video of You First performed in Cleveland Ohio (2023) is available to watch in 2610p60, which basically means it’s better than your eyeballs. incredible stuff. just insane.
there’s probably a whole lot more i can’t think of at the moment, maybe i’ll make a list eventually. but i hope you like this in the mean time. ❤️ thanks for sending me this ask and letting me talk about my favorite band. send me an ask anytime (goes for everyone, i love this).

As Osheaga festival is this weekend, here’s a throwback to the only time Muse did it, the one year in 2017 when they played North American summer festivals instead of the usual European ones, hitting Festival d’Été in Quebec, Osheaga, the cancelled Pemberton fest in BC and Ottawa Bluesfest in Canada and Firefly, Bunbury, Life Is Beautiful and Chicago Lollapalooza in the US.
That show was the first time New Kind of Kick was played live, and also had the metal medley with the Reapers intro + Stockholm Syndrome + Micro Cuts outro + Freedom outro + Reapers outro + Agitated played

La REALIDAD es que os han sacado un DINERAL los idolos de ORO y os han quitado hasta LA VIDA O EL SEXO..ATONTANDOOS y ENGAÑANDOOS.. Todos no.. Porque esta TAN SOBRESATURADO esto de los CIRCOS o la cultura del ESPECTA-CULO y ENTRETENI-MIENTO q p.e. VIRGINIA MAESTRO ya solo canta por alguna COPA DE VINO y se tiene que FOLLAR a sus Colaboradores para q la hagan Trabajitos como el desaparecido argentino MARTIN ACOSTA de CRISTO jaja

Ants can be the villains of conservation
Ants can be the villains of conservation

Ants are not always heroes. Invasive ants are a significant threat to global biodiversity. Alba Costa and colleagues conducted a study on the island of Mahé, Seychelles, into how two common invasive ant species affect the pollination and reproduction of native plants in restoration projects. They found that the Yellow Crazy Ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) and White-Footed Ant (Technomyrmex albipes) deter flying pollinators from landing on plants, disrupting pollination networks.

While ants can be pollinators, they can also harm plants by preventing pollination. They can eat reproductive organs without contributing to pollination, and they can also deter pollinators from landing on a plant or else chase them off.
Costa and colleagues conducted a combination of ant exclusion experiments and pollinator observations to see what was going on. They staked out plants on eight granitic inselbergs. ‘Inselberg’ comes from the German for island mountain. On four of the inselbergs, ecologists were restoring sites, and the other four remained as invaded control sites.
Inselbergs can be quite short, but the tops can still be distinct from the terrain they rise up from. That means native plants on Seychelles’ inselbergs rely primarily on flying visitors for pollination. The scientists found that the invasive ants don’t reduce pollinators’ visits but change what they do once they arrive. Costa and colleagues write:
Our visitation data showed that the presence of ants is not deterring pollinators from approaching plants and visiting one flower, which means that the number of visits is unaffected by ants. In the absence of ants, flying pollinators will continue their foraging bout and probe neighbouring flowers. Ants appear to disrupt such foraging bouts as the numbers of probed flowers declines in the presence of invasive ants. This change in foraging behaviour may be triggered by aggressive behaviour of the ants directed at flying pollinators (Junker et al., 2007) or possibly through indirect interactions such as resource competition (Lach, 2005)
Costa et al. 2023
As a result of the curtailed visits, the plants suffer reduced fruit set. That, in turn, leaves fewer seeds for the next generation.
Costa and colleagues emphasise the importance of their study in understanding plant-animal interactions in restoration projects. They write:
Our results showed that the frequency of flower visits and fruit set in the presence of invasive ants did not vary with restoration status, which indicates that the impact of invasive ants on pollinator foraging behaviour and plant reproductive performance was not affected by the removal of non-native plants in inselberg plant communities. Previously, it was shown that pollination resilience and function are reduced in unrestored inselberg communities dominated by non-native plants (Kaiser-Bunbury et al., 2017).
Costa et al. 2023
The research shows invasive ants can have long-term impacts, even when restoration efforts begin in an ecosystem.

I got to see some of my favorite British babes again last night. Bigs thanks to the 1975 coming out to bunbury when I'm sure they wanted to be helping at the Manchester relief concert.

Here’s another artist that deservedly blew up in 2017. Do yourself a favor and listen to Mon Laferte with Enrique Bunbury sing “Mi Buen Amor.” #55 #Bestof2017.
Bunbury, the legendary Héroes del Silencio frontman, really adds to this gorgeous song about a lover who keeps coming in and out of someone’s life thinking they’ll always be ready willing and able when they reemerge.
More from Laferte later in the countdown.

Bunbury siempre rebasa mis expectativas...
Siempre en octubre. Pareciera que Enrique sabe que es mi cumpleaños en este mes y siempre saca disco nuevo.
Ha sido un enorme placer escucharle. He leído comentarios de personas que no les ha gustado o dicen que porqué Bunbury ha cambiado tanto, que ya no es lo que solía ser. Díganme, ¿quién lo es? qué aburrido y qué desperdicio seguir siendo lo que se solía ser. Musicalmente aplica lo mismo.
No puede ser que sigan esperando que Enrique Bunbury siga siendo la misma persona que conocimos en Héroes del Silencio, el electrónico de 1997 o el valiente emocional que abandonó el escenario en pleno concierto un 2005. No. Él no puede ser el mismo.
No entiendo esa enorme necesidad de los seres humanos por calificar todo, por juzgar y darle un juicio de valor a algo: bueno o malo. Qué maniqueo, qué limitante y qué controlador. ¿Quienes somos para ir por la vida diciendo que está bien o que está mal? Como si tuviéramos la razón. Nadie la tiene.
Quizá la única responsabilidad y regalo que nos queda es la contemplación, la apreciación y el disfrute.
Así que no me vengan con que Enrique hizo un disco malo. No. Si fueran verdaderos seguidores sabrían que Bunbury no hace discos buenos o malos, sólo discos honestos. La honestidad es un valor muy alto y poco comprendido o apreciado. Bunbury nos deja un mensaje: sé honesto contigo, actúa de acuerdo a lo que tú esperas de ti y no intentes quedar bien con nadie ni convencer a nadie.
Si no eres fan de Bunbury no te queda esa pose exquisita y pedante de criticar. Mejor aprecia, no crucifiques. Identifica el contexto y los valores musicales de cada disco. Aprecia. Contempla. Tanto la propuesta musical y las letras. Por una vez en la vida deja de sentirte el centro del Universo y que lo sabes todo y nútrete de nuevas cosas. Que si criticas mordazmente es porque no has vivido nada ni conocido nada, porque no entiendes la multiculturalidad ni la pluralidad. Deja que todos hagan su esfuerzo en interpretar el mundo como puedan. Enrique Bunbury lo ha hecho de nuevo con este disco.
La gran particularidad y esencia de Bunbury precisamente es la espontaneidad y la sorpresa, nunca es el mismo porque se reinventa constantemente. Bunbury es rock, alternativo, flamenco, latinoamericano, ranchero, es todo porque se atreve y no le importa arriesgarse, por eso le admiro, es una proyección de la propia personalidad de cada uno de nosotros: no somos las mismas personas toda la vida aunque bien mantenemos ciertos detalles de la esencia intactos, siempre podemos ser diferentes y evolucionar.
En este sentido, “Expectativas” rompe curiosamente nuestras propias expectativas, nos sumerge en un viaje personal que nos recuerda que nada es lo que esperamos y nos debemos dejar sorprender.
Noto a un Bunbury melódico, instrospectivo, que rompe con cosas del pasado para dar pie a nuevos sonidos. Musicalmente magistral, nuevos sonidos y arreglos, las letras son de nuevo laberintos de metáforas, esa es la esencia de Bunbury, hacerte pensar hasta dar en el clavo o quizá sólo decir: “¡ostias Bunbury! ¿qué cojones significa eso? pero está bueno el ritmo, me voy a divertir o relajar.”
Si tengo que definir este disco diría: posmoderno, indie y evolutivo. Evolucionar, esa es la meta siempre. Romper con el pasado. Somos lo que somos pero podemos seguir avanzando.
Personalmente no pudo llegar en mejor momento este disco. Como un regalo cercano a mi cumpleaños, Enrique Bunbury lo hace de nuevo. Se te mete en los oídos destapando tus cajas de Pandora internas. Descifrando mensajes en las canciones encuentras respuestas y te das cuenta que las expectativas guían mas no se cumplen, la eterna y constante enseñanza de la vida es aprender a vivir bien aún con el poder de las circunstancias.
Me quedo con “Cuna de Caín” la mejor del disco a mi gusto. “Mi libertad” es un himno de belleza y redención, una de esas canciones para dar cachetada con guante blanco y carpetazo a las expectativas mal fundadas. “Al filo del cuchillo” me parece una canción muy sensual y realista. “La actitud correcta” no sólo aplica a los nuevos “músicos” sino a la gente que se siente mucho, sobrevalorada y que le falta “ese no sé qué”.
Un disco humano, honesto y que me ha elevado una vez más. Gracias Enrique, como siempre rebasaste mis expectativas para bien.
