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.

“Helen Wheels”

Paul McCartney | 1973

A rollicking good-time hard rocker, "Helen Wheels" was not about a woman but about Paul McCartney's Land Rover, the anthemic chorus voicing the vehicle's reckless joy as "she" took to the road. The song was added to the U.S. version of Band on the Run but was issued only as a single in McCartney's native U.K. "I like that because it's a British road song and there's not many of those around," said McCartney. "It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
