Here it is: Hey Jerry!I have a question:You play music every day for a living,do you still enjoy listening to it like you did when you were young?or did your job changed the way you listen to it now? I started answering this at least 6 times before settling on an idea. The reason I play music (which is the same reason for...

    Hey, guys. Just wanted to give an update for those in UK/Europe. If you didn't know, we are going over there in April. Trying to confirm shows in UK, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria. I am really excited to get back over there, because we haven't been in a while, and always have great shows. Just remember that we hear you guys asking for us to come to your city / country. We...

    Hey, guys. I'm stoked you are all diggin Lifeline! We played the first show on this tour, and the crowd was really into it. It was one of the best shows we have had in a while. SLC was definitely proving themselves as a good rock town. This tour is gonna be great for us. More rowdy, more energy, more kids! That's what a rock show should be. We feed off of that, and return it. Now that...

    What up, Y'all! So, we were supposed to release Hollywood Whore today, and yet again, it's not here. We are really sorry to keep doing this to you, but the label wants to make sure everything is set up right before it goes out. We promise it is coming soon. We just got the final cut of the video, and it is SICK! Jesse Davey is a great director, and the cuts are amazing! Thanks, you guys,...

    Hey, Guys. We are in Johnson City, TN today. It looks like a cool venue; sounds good. This tour has been great for us so far. We have been playing 2 new songs, and they have been going over great! I want to hear from people who have seen us play them. What are your thoughts? As Cobe would say, "You like that shit, HUH!" Thanks to everyone coming out to represent Papa Roach. It's nice to...

    What up everybody. Just wanted to check in with you guys. The tour has been going great. It is really a trip for us to be touring with Motley Crue. We grew up listening to them, and I was a little intimidated at first, but they are all really cool. BTW, Mick played a lead on one of our songs on the new record called, "Into The Light". Pretty bad-ass... Anyway, this tour has been good for...

Not to take anything away from people that have come to other...

    Hey, guys. I created a group on flickr called Papa Roach Live. I have already sent messages to people on flickr, so if you're reading this again, I'm sorry. I created this group so that people can share their Papa Roach experience. If you have any live shots, photos with band members, or your trip to and from the show. Also, if you have a flickr account, link it to your Riot account, so...

    Hey, Everybody! We are a little more than halfway done, and so far, everything is sounding great. I know you guys are gonna ask me what it sounds like, and you really won't know until you hear it, but I could give you an idea.... The harder stuff is harder, but more melodic (but not without its screams), the mellow stuff is not as polished as previous records, and the rockin stuff has riffs...
