Papa Roach are now virtual graybeards when it comes to radio-friendly modern rock. Since 2000, the band has been cranking out jams for the FM set, from that year’s hit “Last Resort” to “Hollywood Whore” from last year’s LP Metamorphosis. This summer the band will release its very first live album, showcasing the electric live gigs that are actually some of the best in the modern-rock genre. Lead singer Jacoby Shaddix has pipes on him, no matter on what side of the fence you lie.
