Artistfacts®: You can leave comments about the artist/band at the bottom of the page.

The band is named after Shaddix' great-grandfather, whose last name was Roatch. He was known as "Papa Roatch."

Their logo is a cockroach. They wanted to avoid the marijuana image implied by the word "Roach."

Shaddix used the stage name "Coby Dick" until 2002, when he decided he wanted to use his real name.

They recorded for independent labels before being signed by Dreamworks in 2000.

MTV provided a lot of exposure for the band. They showed up a lot on Total Request Live.

They started their own record label through Dreamworks called New Noise. The first band on the label was Alien Ant Farm.

They toured with Ozzfest in 2001. They used a spare bus to record tracks for their second album in between tour stops.

Shaddix played clarinet in his high school band.

They were the supporting act for The Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 2002 "By the Way" tour. (thanks, Glenn - Sydney, Australia)

They are from Vacaville California, a town about 30 miles South of Sacramento. (thanks, Rene - Sacramento, CA)

Papa Roach's first show was a talent show in 1993. (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

I actually new Jacoby before he was famous. My friend Sarah worked with him at Fresh Choice in Vacaville. He was a dishwasher and she was a server. One night we all hand out and he drove to Dixon (where my twin sis an I lived at the time) and I remember sitting next to him in the cab of a truck hearing him say over and over "I'm in a band and I'm gonna be famous someday". We all kinda just laughed it off 'cause a lot of people say that. Then about 2 years later I was a server at Mary's Pizza Shack and the band came in. I was serving them pizza and they still weren't super famous...but they were creeping out into the music scene. Very cool guys! Last but not least...the drummer was going out with this girl named Gretta who was a good friend of mine's cousin. He dumped her right after he got famous and married the Tyler girl. I'm not a huge fan, I just thought all of you fans might want to know a few more facts about the band.

PaPa RoAcH is the band who had changed my Personality the most. The lyrics describe my life. That´s why I love the band and they try to make different things. I mean Infest, Lovehatetragedy and Getting away with murder. First it was Crossover then Punk rock and now real Rock `n´ Roll... And live the Band is the best one...
