Papa Roach’s music style has been largely debated and the band has been referred to under many different genres. These include hard rock, electronic rock, alternative metal, nu metal, rap rock and rap metal. Generally, however, they are simply referred to as a rock band.
Papa Roach formed in 1993, when two of its members discussed the potential of a band on their school football field. Jacoby Shaddix and drummer Dave Buckner started the band and were soon joined by bass guitarist Will James and lead guitarist Jerry Horton. During these early days the band played every gig they could get, balancing school with performing. A year later they released their first EP, bizarrely entitled ‘Potatoes for Christmas’. In 1996 James was replaced by Tobin Esperance. In 1997 the band released their first full length album, entitled the self-explanatory ‘Old Friends from Young Years’. Their last two independent releases were in 1998 and 1999. The latter EP, ‘Let ‘Em Know’, earned them a record deal by DreamWorks Records.
Since signing and entering the mainstream market, Papa Roach have continued to garner a steady stream of support and success, touring with esteemed bands such as Guns N’ Roses. However, one of their earliest tracks, ‘Last Resort’, still remains their most popular single to date. They have toured worldwide, indicating just how successful the band has become since their early days. The current line up now consists of original, Jacoby Shaddix, Jerry Horton, Tobin Esperance and Tony Palermo who replaced Buckner after he entered rehab.
Despite their mainstream success, Papa Roach remain indie at heart. Their name is an indication of the real bond between the members and the history between them: Papa Roach was the nickname of Shaddix’s step-grandfather, who committed suicide in 2006 after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The band paid homage to him with the song ‘Roses on my Grave’.

Papa Roach are an amazing live act, always fresh and incendiary. They connect with their audience and Jacoby Shaddix is the total rock experience frontman.
The crowd at a Papa Roach show are always crazy and he commands the fans with ease and they follow wherever he takes them. Musically Papa Roach have something for everyone from their Nu Metal start to the Rock of the current albums.
I have never been to a bad show and even when I saw them as the support act they were head and shoulders above the main act. The band are always tight which I think is important and they seem to be as into the show as the fans.
I have seen them in venues from The Forum to Brixton Academy and Wembley Arena their show does not suffer no matter the venue size. I could not pick a favourite show as they have all gone beyond my expectations and I cannot wait to hear their next album and see the show they put on when they come back to the UK.

Papa Roach did an amazing job at not only keeping the crowd into the music, but also performing exceptionally. They sounded awesome, the show was awesome, the whole thing was great. They're definitely a see again. Bands that don't get the crowd going, don't tell you to jump and sing and scream and put your hands up, just aren't worth your time. If they don't act like they want to be there then don't waste your money on it. They were very worth the time and the money and the bruises I got from being in the mosh pit. Papa Roach is an amazing band with some really great guys that love what they do, I would most certainly say that they did a great job and that they are somebody I will recommend to anyone in to that genre of music. Loved the show, loved them. I'll definitely be seeing them again.

Papa Roach always puts on a great show. I have seen him a dozen or so times and never left a show thinking well that sucked. He has the most amazing energy and doesn't stand still for a second. I love that he jumps off stage and walks around the crowd...high fiving people and stopping every so often to sing. And it's unbelievable that he crowd surfs back up to the stage. If you haven't seen him live I recommend that you do. He's awesome!
I can't say that I love his fans tho. A lot of them are rude, inconsiderate and downright disrespectful. I'm very easy going and am not one to provoke anyone but this is the second of his shows that I almost got into a fight with someone. It pisses me off that I have to move to avoid a confrontation.

When I first received the alert from SongKick that Papa Roach was coming to New Jersey I knew this was a no-brainer. I have never seen Papa Roach live before but I can say it was honestly one of the best concerts I have ever been too. Papa Roach have been one of my favorite bands and i'm glad that they played a bunch of their songs that made that famous and also a couple of tracks off of their new album as it was just hits after hits. The music was amazing, the venue was perfect, and the audience was electric, nothing compares to a New Jersey crowd! Jacoby Shaddix even threw himself to the crowd! Honestly one of a kind experience you just had to be there to experience. Can't wait to see them again!

Out of dozens and dozens of concerts I've seen, Papa Roach easily put on one of the best. They sounded true to their records but put different spins on their songs to make a unique live experience. Jacoby has an insanely strong stage presence and has no difficulty involving the audience in every song. Their set was a great blend of old and new with obviously high budget stage design. Even those who don't know Papa Roach will have no trouble finding the time of their lives at one of their shows.

One of the best concerts I've been to!! Jacobi is awesome and the band is extremely appreciative of their fans. They performed fantastically. In This Moment was fabulous as was Five Finger Death Punch. Some of the best performances I have seen and I go to a lot of shows! Got to the venue a little late so we didn't get to see much of From Ashes To New, but they sounded great , we had seen them previously with Hollywood Undead and they are wonderful up and coming band!

Jacoby is an amazing artist! His voice was on point the whole show, interacted with the crowd and sang and spoke with compassion for people and not just to put on a show like his job. I will defitely be seeing him again. Asking alexandria and vad wolves rocked the show also. My 1st time seeing all 3 of the them, with as many concerts as I go to, that was one of the best performances and visual aspects I've seen in awhile. Everyone was awesome. Rock on!

Papa Roach was amazing at terminal 5! To be honest, the night kind of got started off slow with the opening acts and even Seether (although I love listening to them, maybe not the best performers). My expectations for Papa Roach were exceeded! They really know how to interact with a crowd and make the get the audience pumped and put on a GREAT show. They looked happy and entertained to play. Would definitely see again!
