Paramore 'Had Group Therapy'

Paramore have revealed that they had group therapy sessions in 2008 in order for the band to avoid splitting up.
According to frontwoman Hayley Williams, she and guitarist Josh Farro had so many arguments due to their contrasting creative ideas - that the band felt forced to undergo counseling in order to continue making music together.
"We all went to a counselor, who happened to be someone we've known since our band started. It wasn't some big dramatic Metallica/Some Kind Of Monster experience, but I don't think we could've done the album without him," ContactMusic quotes her as saying.
"Josh and I always butt heads the most. We are the closest in age and the primary songwriters of the band. Creatively, we are the most outspoken and with the two of us usually having contrasting ideas, there are more than a few opportunities for disagreements. It works though, in a very quirky sort of way."
"The worst part about ever having any type of bad blood in the band was wondering how much we'd let all these people down. But in reality, we're just humans. That's inspiring in itself."
Paramore has just postponed all its tour dates until October 9, because Hayley is suffering from laryngitis.
