General Assclown Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 [align=center][i][b]Papa Roach is a four-piece hard rock band from Vacaville, California. They broke into the mainstream with their three times platinum major-label debut album Infest (2000). The group's success continued with later releases Lovehatetragedy (2002) and Getting Away with Murder (2004). The group's fourth major album, The Paramour Sessions, was released on September 12, 2006. Their newest album, Metamorphosis, was released on March 24, 2009. Papa Roach has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. ^^ Credit to Wikipedia ^^ Emo started in 2006-2007 and these guys were banded way before that (thats how I got title). Anyway, discuss, give opinions, etc ^-^. A few links to there songs.....

The lead singer, Jacoby (as he is called), has an outstanding voice which perfectly suits the music they produce. Many people call them "Emo", which is NOT true. Evidence of this is that these guys banded way before "Emo" started (2006-2007). However, I see them as the trendsetters of "Emo"...

HeadshotMagnet Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 These guys simply rule. They do look like an Emo band to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabris Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Jeff Buckley was emo before they even fathomed a band. Difference? Buckley ain't no corporate cocksucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingTheEverlight Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Bullshit, Emo formed in the 90s with Sunny Day Real Estate, the godfathers of Emo. I also find Papa Roach to be anything but Emo. Their music fits in no way to the Emo genre. Give me one good reason to call them Emo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed ^-^ Jeff Buckley was emo before they even fathomed a band. Difference? Buckley ain't no corporate cocksucker. Never heard of Buckley >.< Bullshit' date=' Emo formed in the 90s with Sunny Day Real Estate, the godfathers of Emo. I also find Papa Roach to be anything but Emo.

You'll see what I mean. They're better than that bullshit "Emo" music you hear today. Emo is always used wrong, it puts me to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Assclown Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 ^ K, I'll check Youtube. Anymore comments on the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabris Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 To Sin: It's Buckley, not Sunny. Sure, Wikipedia classifies him under alt-rock and folk, but Buckley defined what emo would become in latter years. And, no, if Papa Roach is emo, then President Kennedy ich bin ein Berliner!

That's one of the 3 or 4 songs I enjoy by them. That song, Between Angels and Insects (which if you listen closely, they stole a melody from Iron Maiden), Dead Cell, and Broken Home.
