PAPA ROACH - I ALMOST TOLD YOU THAT I LOVED YOU
Why are Papa Roach called Papa Roach? Jacoby Shaddox explained the story behind the name in an interview with Spin Magazine! "We came up with the name back in 1993 when we were like sixteen years old -- young and dumb," remembers frontman Jacoby Shaddix. "At the time we were listening to lots of bands with funky names -- stuff like Mr. Bungle, Primus, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We were also playing weird spastic funk-punk like they were, so we thought we should have a name that fit in with that vibe. At first we wanted to name the band Papa Gato after [a nickname for] Poncho Sanchez, the Latin percussionist. But then I thought, what if we named it after my grandfather -- his last name is Roach. The other guys were like, ‘You mean roach like as in weed?' But I also thought Papa Roach had a dirty, grimy sense of longevity that really represented where we were as people at the time. Roaches last, you know? The name still fits. We started in 1993 and now it’s 2010."
As the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival nears, co-headliners Disturbed are contemplating their upcoming set list. “Asylum,” the title track from their upcoming album, is sure to soon become a live favorite and has a natural opening number feel, but singer David Draiman tells us the group are still working things out. The vocalist says, “It will be the opener [on the album], yes. [But for the live show], it depends. We have a number of different things we’re looking at." Draiman says the track is something that will definitely catch their longtime fans off-guard when they hear the beginning of the new disc. {CLIP} The New album hits stores August 31st!
