PAPA ROACH TRY TO BE MOTLEY CRUE, FAIL

Remember when Papa Roach front dude Jacoby Shaddix was calling himself “Coby Dick?” Jesus fucking Christ.

ANYWAY, coming from this band, I would’ve assumed a song called “Hollywood Whore” would be autobiographical, perhaps telling the story of four not especially talented dudes who maintain a steady career in the music biz by aping whatever trend is hot at the moment. Instead, it’s the kind of pop metal portrait of scuzzy life on the Strip that Nikki Sixx specializes in, only without all that “really catchy” baggage. And those lyrics? Oh. My. Gawd. I’m so sure that Paris Hilton is, like, so totally offended.

Wowza. Check out the auto-tune on those backing vocals.
