And although lead singer Jacoby Shaddix wrote “Last Resort” about his friends struggle, the song took on new personal relevance for Jacoby years later when he was battling his own demons. VICE learns the full, little known, story behind "Last Resort" and its journey from darkness into light.

this was my jam when i was in school
I remember seeing them in Vacaville back when I was still in high school. My friends band used to play shows with with at the community center there.... Still remember the first time I heard this song, they performed it live and those of us from Napa were all like who the hell is this band?! They shouldn't be playing a community center.... It was not too long after we saw them as headliners for huge tours. Glad to see they are still down to earth people who never forgot where they came from. Great story here.
I lived in VV from 2001-2004 I remember seeing them at 3 oaks community center and Steelhead stadium (Travis credit union park now). They were friends with Die Trying, another great short-lived band from that area and time. In 2004/2005 I started playing guitar in metal bands and eventually got to play some of the same venues as the bands I came up watching. Miss the good ol days!
I still blast this when I’m having a lot of feelings. When that first beat drops I could kick a door in.
Great storytelling. I still listen to last resort.
Remember the first time hearing this on the music channels
Man this brings back memories
this song has gotten me through some things.... amazing! thank you
I saw them in 2013 at my first concert, Carnival of Madness Tour. They were really good, Jacoby loves his fans and loves to entertain, bless him! Same for the rest of his band! ❤️
Yeah, saw them the same year for my first gig too. They've been my favourite ever since.
I can copperhead when your in the darkness its so complicated to explain to any one regardless of or own .God bless you .tear of the feeling not go back to the dark place I survived .amen to you and everyone has been in situations.
I still go hard to this when this plays on my Playlist.

Suicide is awful but seeing my dad go thru ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) it's fucking devastating. I kind of get it.

Bro… when I used to live back in my home country, I’d watch the music channel and remember when this track came out. Ufff!!
Let’s say the nuns at my catholic school were not pleased during lunch time. 😂😂
I got free tickets for them at hob in vegas..I wanted to bounce on it...and I was so blown away.
It's about being able to relate.

If they weren't poor and homeless, they more than likely never would of moved to that area and therefor never met the members and formed 'Papa Roach'...
Who knows the alternate outcome if he didn't lose/get his base stolen. 2 things that seemed like the worst things imaginable (losing a instrument for a poor budding musician is terrible) set them all on the course of achieving the greatest thing to ever happen to them...
While I hate what happened to his friend, without that tragedy 'Last Resort' would of never been written, which may of led to them not being discovered, definitely not over nigh and being the sole reason they got signed at the time. Would they of eventually made it anyway? Probably, but I don't think they'd be as big without that song.. Not because they dont deserve to be huge without that song, but that song went around the world and back, I don't think their career trajectory would of been remotely the same without it.
Take note from his life scenario, when you or your family appear to be down and out and like life can't get any worse, it could be those moments in time that leads you to the greatest opportunities and completely change you and your families life.
It'd be simple if we could see the outcome of different scenarios/decisions, but unfortunately all we have is hindsight, so when things get their worst, keep pushing through to the other side and putting in work in whatever it is you do/love, you never know when it's your time but you will not get there without putting in the effort, that's a fact. I'd rather look back in hindsight knowing I have it everything I had and it just didn't work out, vs looking back with abunch of 'what if's', leave no stone unturned and don't fold to the curveballs that life can (and will) throw at you, it's only a test.

...piano start....pure, no doubt, "Because the Night" rip off..
I'm rich and known by the whole world. Oh I'm so sad because I have all this money, fame and success. Some people grow up ungrateful and have dogcrap expectations of life even if your famous and have everything, people can only dream of!!!
Because of this channel one innocent pakistan freedom fighter is dead RiP
