Exclusive First Look: Paramore's Live DVD "The Final RIOT!"

"We like to film stuff, but we don't always get the chance to do it," Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis tells Rock Daily of the band's decision to bring a friend on the road to film what would become the band's first DVD, The Final RIOT!. "It ended up being perfect, because we were already friends with him so we weren't afraid [to be ourselves]." Filmed at Chicago's Congress Theatre over the summer on Paramore's "Last Riot!" tour, the DVD (which also comes with a CD of live tracks) shows off the band's live chops and what Davis calls the band's "goofy" antics on the road.

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
