Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach to join Joel Madden on Ep. 52 of Artist Friendly

Artist Friendly is readying the second installment of the new year. Following conversations with Gavin Magnus, Lil Wayne, and Mario, Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.

More than 20 years since their inception, Papa Roach continue to thrive. Their 2000 album Infest seems to grow bigger every year as new people discover songs like “Last Resort” and “Blood Brothers.” They also remain on the road in support of their 2022 LP Ego Trip, including wrapping the second leg of their own Rockzilla tour and supporting Shinedown across the U.S. last year. “I’m not good when shit’s just calm, quiet, still — I need some chaos,” Shaddix told us in 2022. “I’ve got too much energy inside, and if I just sit stagnant, it drives me fucking mad. I need that release — that’s why I go run all the time. That’s why I go to the gym, because I’m an energetic being. So performing is such a healthy experience for me. I get to explode, physically and emotionally.”
