Papa Roach are not just going to take tours just to take tours.
I'm the drummer that kind of plays more on top of the beat.
But being energetic in my playing is something I've always thought was the right thing to do. Like I'm never forcing it, like "My God, I've gotta play so hard tonight!"
When a label is throwing money at you, you have to recoup it.
You always go in with the intention of playing your best and knowing the material you're auditioning.
The band that I was I auditioning for, they were just all like, dreads and stuff, so I did look kind of out of place. But I had learned the material and it sounded cool as f**k when we were rehearsing.
