"Collectively, we can contact their employers, contact the people that are around them, and have them get fired from their job. And do not, for even a second, think that this is not fair. It is absolutely fair. These people have been doing it to people like me for the better part of five years. And its time the shoe goes on the other foot. They're disgusting. They're celebrating violence. And there shouldn't be any space for this in any sort of a polite society." - Asmongold
Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams and producer David Bendeth argued over the album's title.
“For us, the title ‘RIOT!’ literally means an unbridled outburst of
emotions. When we were writing, it seemed like our thoughts and emotions
were coming out so fast that we couldn’t control them. It felt like
there was a riot within us. So the album takes our passion to a new
level; it’s just all raw energy.” - Hayley Williams; Paramore Band Info, Paramore.net (May 10, 2008)
"We argued [over the album name] for half an hour. I went to get a
dictionary to tell her what “riot” meant, and after, she sat with me on
the couch and she said, “You’re wrong. This is about a different kind of
riot. You’re using it literally. Don’t do that...
That’s not the riot I mean. I mean a riot of music of people at a show.
That kind of riot." - David Bendeth; Paramore’s ‘Riot!’ Producer David Bendeth Reflects.., Taylor Weatherby, Billboard (Jun 13, 2017)
