Nu-Metal Salvage Company Poll Series #1: Papa Roach - Last Resort

Peak chart positions

* #1 Modern Rock Tracks
* #4 (Germany)
* #3 (UK)
* #57 (US)

i sort of felt sorry for the singer. you can understand why he was so pissed off, looking like that.

He had a really big house when he was on Cribs though, so it balances itself out

My friend interviewed the singer for NME and got him to talk about his habitual bedwetting as a teenager. I don't know if anyone has ever identified a moment where nu-metal reached a self-parodic point of no return, so I'm gonna go for that one

I remember at school this was the only nu-metal track that the trance kids had love for... maybe Papa Roach could have bridged the greebo/townie divide if they'd have continued longer?

Also in the unlikely event this thread hits the skids I will be happy to talk about Christian Parody band ApologetiX instead

Come one, come all.

ALSO Papa Roach are totally still going, the dream is still alive

"Christian Parody band ApologetiX"

are they:

christians who parody other bands

or

a band that parodies christians?

"Specializes in biblical parodies of rock hits from the 60s through the 90s and today."

Here's "Look Yourself", with a fanmade video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YYzkA6Oc2zs

I always liked this song!

I voted "keep", but it nearly loses me when it turns into a funk metal track at the end.

the video for this song is ugh

WAU

the way he emphasises the last syllable of the title as "this is my last re-ZORT!" always makes me think of Pinky & The Brain. someone plz make a Pinky Roach youtube mashup.

also pretty much every other Papa Proach single (especially "To Be Loved" and "Forever") is better than this song.

Papa don't proach

how do you sleep at night?

haha

I got over that worry a LONG time ago.

cut my pie into pieces.

this is my last dessert.

main riff of the song is a rip-off of the Iron Maiden song, Hallowed Be Thy Name[1].

otm

destroy

btw do radio DJs still call this band "P-Roach"? I haven't heard that in a while, it used to crack me up to hear dudes in high school make references to "pee roach".

it's the hard rock counterpart of Pee Diddy!

Pee, Did He?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

There should really be a poll option for "I don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding"

SUFFOCATION
NO BREATHING

I hated this when it came out, but its really grown on me. ESPECIALLY in relation to their every other belch.

thought that power ballad about how the problem is that he cares too much has some ironic charm.

KEEP.

@_@

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

RIP.

We'll do "In The End" next week.

SANITY PREVAILS

the riff at 3.13 off the song comes freaky close to the riff from Last Resort.

I think it's probably too soon for this sort of thing. But I do wonder when the last few generations of modern emo/screamo/hardcore/metalcore, and other assorted haircut rock genres will be able to come to terms with the fact that they used to geuinely like this stuff and there is nothing wrong with that.

Malianteo is a sub-genre of Reggaeton. It is a fusion of Reggaeton, and Rapcore. It's lyrics tend to deal with violence.

That sounds like the worst genre ever.
