Today's Music Monday is Papa Roach with their song "Hollywood Whore" Ahhh Papa Roach, I remember when I first heard them on the radio with their song Last Resort. Me and my little sister would walk around the house singing the verses "Cut my life into pieces this is my last resort. Suffocation no breathing don't give a ------ if I cut my arm bleeding." We would always block out the word Fuck cause we weren't aloud to say those types of words when we were younger, funny how things change. Papa Roach is an American rock band from Vacaville, California. Their first major-label release was the triple-platinum debut album Infest (2000). The group's success continued with their gold album Lovehatetragedy (2002), their platinum album Getting Away with Murder (2004) and The Paramour Sessions (2006). Their latest album, Metamorphosis, was released on March 24, 2009. The band's new live album, Time for Annihilation, will be released on August 31, 2010. Papa Roach has sold more than 10 million album copies worldwide, and are known for their hits "Last Resort", "Scars", "Forever", and "Lifeline", among others.
The formation of Papa Roach began in January 1993, when lead singer Jacoby Shaddix and drummer Dave Buckner met on the Vacaville High School football field during an intense match, where the two ended up talking about music. They were later joined by trombonist Ben Luther and bass guitarist Will James. They decided to enter the school's talent show, where they performed a cover version of Jimi Hendrix's famous song, "Fire". They ultimately didn't win the contest. In March 1993, trombonist Ben Luther was replaced by lead guitarist Jerry Horton from nearby Vanden High School. Jerry was introduced to the band through his girlfriend, who was a fan. However, Jerry was at first apprehensive about joining the band because Jacoby, Dave, and Will all went to a different high school. At this point, Papa Roach were practicing everyday and touring on every gig they could get. Their first tour van was called Moby Dick. The band's name comes from Shaddix's step-grandfather, Howard William Roatch, who was nicknamed Papa Roach. Roatch committed suicide in 2006. The band pay homage to him with The Paramour Sessions and during live performances of the song "Roses On My Grave. Later Dave Buckner and Will James were replaced.
I chose to do "Hollywood Whore" on this music Monday cause it's such a good song and it fits Hollywood perfectly. When I first heard this song I yelled out "Hey, Papa Roach made a song about Lindsay Lohan!" I wouldn't be surprised if this song was inspired by her cause she's done pretty much everything they sing about. I also decided to feature Papa Roach's music video "I almost told you that I loved you." both songs from their new album Metamorphosis. This song isn't apart of music Mondays so I could debut it next Monday as well but I'm not going to, I hate putting up the same thing on my blog more then once. It's just a little something extra for you all to enjoy. It's such catchy song and the music video is pretty rad too, oh and the song is dirty which is why I like it! :)
