- "Last Resort" by Papa Roach was a surprise hit given the song's raw and vivid portrayal of mental health and suicide. 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.

hey
If you didnt download this song from limewire did you even had a childhood?
Agreed hell yeah
Ha!
If you didn’t do every chore around the house 10x in a week to get that CD, you missed you, my brother and I used to BANG this CD
Original Napster for me. Those were the times.
Haha yes
Ironically, this is the most heartwarming comment section I’ve read in a long time. Maybe there’s hope for 2021 after all.
I'm still emo and proud!
White people music, how come white kids be depressed when they have everything..
@@aus-li middle class sad kids , should've spent a day in the hood to see what sadness really is
@@louieDsypo keep playing that victim card dude. It'll serve you well in life.
@@louieDsypo generalisation and stereotypes. Im brown and i was part of this genre.
This was so well done. Thanks, VICE! New album #EgoTrip out April 8th.
Thanks for your Music, and Your Story behind. It touched me deep , Big Hugs from Belgium
Thank you Papa Roach for that song specially.
Just saw y'all set in Little Rock Arkansas with falling reverse awesome show I've seen all three times huge influence on my life thanks for helping us not feel alone
Not even 3 minutes in and I'm more inspired to pursue my dreams in music than I've ever been. Y'all were a staple in my upbringing and I definitely owe you for helping me make it to where I am today.. no joke
So badass. I remember someone handing me one of your demo tapes when I was in middle school in Gilroy ca, and everyone was going crazy for it. I think you guys played at the gaslighter. Not much long later you guys blew up on mtv. Crazy to go back and remember that demo tapes was the way to get your name out there before social media existed.
It’s refreshing to see a band that seems to all get along and still have a genuine friendship. Amazing
hey
All of these bands that still intact for long time are Good people
@@logik8138 hey
I'm 36 now. This era of music was amazing growing up. Korn, System of a Down, P.O.D., Papa Roach, Linkin Park, etc. I still play them every once in a while. Brings back hella memories.
Limp bizkit did not aged well
@@julietbengulo3086 No but Korn is probably the strongest from all of them. Then never stopped. Especially after Head's return. And they hired Ray Luzier. One of the most professional drummers out there. Korn basically started the whole new era in metal music.
@@stevemuzak8526 THE strongest of them all, who ALWAYS did their OWN thing, have NEVER made one bad album, and are still going strong is the almighty DEFTONES. They were around before KoRn, they did their own thing, they got away from the "nu-metal" tag, went their own way, have all original members except Chi, only due to his passing. (RIP) Their last album released last year, 2020, "OHMS" is one of the best albums they've ever made. White Pony (2000) changed the game and has been copied so much. They are by far the best band from that era, HANDS DOWN. Also Abe Cunningham is the best drummer of all those bands and endlessly creative, Stephs riffs have been copied and Chinos vocals have obviously been copied over and over.
Deftones are the GOAT from that era.
That was my golden era too. So many great albums. I don’t care what people say, that music at that time was was. Nu Metal was my late teenage year’s soundtrack.
It's funny all the band's you named are super cringy.so whiny lol
I had a Bone marrow transplant in 2009 when I was 22. In recovery, I was at a hospitality house down the street from a venue Papa Roach played at. My dad talked to their manager and the Dr cleared my bald, mask wearing ass, to go hang out with them! They were so gracious and nice to me. I watched the sound check, hung in the dressing room while they shot pool and just talked. Jacoby, Tobin.. they were all so cool for doing that. Their CD at the time, got me through the rest of my stay. I still have and wear the sweatshirt they gave me that day!
Forever 🙏 grateful.
I know they know Last Resort helped people,, but doubt they even know how much that day helped me live as well 😃
11 yrs in remission ♡
Congrats, & keep up the good fight
Stay Positive
That’s what’s up! Keep up the good fight 👊💪
May God bless you and restore your health 00% in 2021.
You need to keep sharing your story and uplifting others. Honor your awesome Dad for doing this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thing for you. It blessed everyone there and so many more! I'm in tears. Never heard of this group and tonight I had a bug in my bed so I was so freaked out I ran into bathroom and googled Roach and this video popped up. God is awesome 👍😎
You inspired me! Stay 💪 go volunteer with other kids in hospital and veterans in nursing homes they need your story & energy. 💯❣️
I never had a Roach before it was hugh and terrifying and crawled on my pillow in dark touching my ear. I later found it probably came in with some empty boxes I took from recycling room to pack my winter stuff to take to storage. I didn't think I'm so clueless roaches hide in cardboard boxes. I haven't seen it again but, I'm sleeping on the toilet I'll stay up watching Papa Roach Videos til morning when I can buy my and hopefully last can of Raid.
Lord have Mercy.
Forever indebted to groups like Papa Roach, Korn, and Slipknot for not shying away from some of the worst realities of life and conveying that anguish in a way that I could relate to as a kid who struggled mightily with depression. Hard music got me through hard times.
I fucking love that “hard music got me through hard times” couldn’t have said it better and it most certainly did for a lot of us!
Same here music is the only thing that I lean on till this day lol. Life is chaotic and confusing and most times I feel alienated from the rest of humanity and think I'm alone and nobody like... Gets it I guess. This era of music really speaks to that and still to this day reminds me that other humans are experiencing life the same way that I have. And that's comforting for all of us on the outside lol
Amen!
Korn ☝️
I don’t know how you could even compare papa roach to korn or slipknot
The fact that him and his friend haven’t spoken and they both were feeling the same thing and they both take blame for each other. I love that they have that friendship and opened that dialogue.
Yes, It's truly a beautiful thing.
Greatest quote of vid. “dude just sing it’s free”
I didn't anticipate finding Papa Roach wholesome.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nu metal is full of some of the best human beings
Have you listened to a single lyric?
They got a great connection with fans
They're just regular guys, suffering pain and anxiety and also all the good things in life
Wow it's so amazing to see that after all these years Jacoby is still so sensitive and still so in touch with his feelings. That doesn't happen normally, everyone has usually really hardened over by the forties. It really speaks volumes about the idea of the tortured sensitive artist.
i had that thought just the other day. how numb we've all become (in my mid thirties) now. everyone that hasn't lost his mind basically learned to endure without talking about it. the fact we all were kids full of joy and wonder just a few decades back and now we've become this? man, this world really fucks you up.
@@DennisGr Well, it's all about your perspective. Lets face it we all get dealt a really shiddy hand during the pandemic and I personally still haven't made a full recovery and I hate a lot of life. anyway!!. However, time heals wounds, and the damage we endured during our childhoods has been _[mostly]_ resolved by now. The part that I found so interesting is that this track is Papa Roach's number one song!! They must have sung it at least 10,000 times- but the source material still speaks to the singer so deeply. That must be a real source of trauma if he's not resolved it 25 years later.
RIP MAC MILLER
Sensitive artist extraordinaire
I know I just wanted to give him a hug. I've been there. It sucks.
There is no shame in getting help if you need it.
I WANT A FULL PIANO AND ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS SONG!!
Yes
Hell YESSSS
me too!!!
Enter falling in reverse lol
Addiction lead me to be homeless - freezing my ass off sleeping under the freeway underpass during winter - this song was on me 24/7 - this discomfort lead me to rehab - thankfully Im 8yrs sober.
i am proud of you, keep going :) you got this!
Well done Sherpa. You inspire me.
Well done. Keep it up
Good job bro
Congratulations
I met Coby in 2001, I was 20 years old working at a Taco Bell when I was pregnant with my first child, I went outside and asked him for his autograph. Coby was so cool, he told me that he was expecting his first child too and showed me the ultrasound picture! I will never forget that! Last Resort changed my life too! Since I was a kid I struggled with anxiety, depression and suicidal tendencies. Thank you Coby, Papa Roach and thank you Vice!
💜✨
Much love from someone that also struggles with the same we are never alone no matter how alone we feel sometimes hope your life is nothing but beautiful now 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
@@jasondavis174 thank you so much! It’s been so much better, it hasn’t been easy, it’s was a struggle. I still battle the anxiety at times but I am so thankful for life and the loved ones in it. I hope you are doing well too. Nothing but love and peace to you🙏🏼
Wow what a moment! 🤩
Love this story. I was in the audience at TRL and Coby was super friendly to everyone during ad breaks. They really have time for their fans which is what makes a great band have longevity
I love that Jacoby and Marc are awkward around each other in this. they obviously haven't met in the 20 or so years of this song's existence. This video marks this song's coming into full circle.
It was nice to see their bromance... It felt like they were awkward teenagers again
It wasn't like they haven't met at all, just not seen each other as much as they ought to...just like _everyone_
Please don't ever stop this series...this is amazing to learn about all of these amazing backstories!
I know I really want them to do "Better Off Alone" and by Alice Deejay and the mystery of the unknown vocalist.
Also I wish they'd do something with Radiohead but Thom Yorke is 2cool and 2deep4all of us
"Just sing, it's free" So damn well said.
hey, "it is payday"
Who knew I would get some genuine enlightenment from the papa roach bassist.
Imagine if he couldn't sing.
LMAO I love it
it's such an old school 90's sentiment i love it. Should put that on a tee
A lot of us in our late 30's, early 40's are seeing this and getting some major feels. Thank you Vice and Thank You Papa Roach
Yes even some older rockers in our 50's
Absolutely dude.
I remember coming home from a band practice, it was 11pm and everyone was i bed. I got a bowl of cereal, sat in the front room and put MTV2 quietly. This song literally began the moment the channel flicked on the screen and i ended up inches from the screen, jaw open, and in absolute awe at this song. Man we had the absolute best music growing up!
Yup, we're around the same age. My friends knew them before they became famous, they used to play out here in San Jose back then.
Mid 20s getting feels
all the feels
This song literally saved my life, at a time when I felt so alone and isolated, it made me realise that others out there felt the same.
im glad you're still here brother.
This is whats music do to us, great to hear
Jacoby has an energy about him that people just gravitate to. The dude is inspiring. Been listening to Papa Roach as long as I can remember. When I was a kid and my parents were going at each other's throats constantly, I would blast this song and album and it truly kept me sane, it saved me.
God, it's so impressive to see people talking about depression, suicide and mental health so openly. Thanks for this.
Bunch of sissies
@@UzziHD ok tough guy
I think the “tough guys” are the ones who have more mental health problems.
@@gamestycon2239 what’s more important ego and masculinity...or talking openly about suicide if you want to mill yourself just do it like Nike GFYS
@@UzziHD whatever
I love how Jacoby was respectful of his friend Mark, even personally asked his approval to release/ unleash "Last Resort" into the airwaves! Gotta love that trait in an artist. \m/
rockers guys like jacoby are not always swearing in your face. in fact, most of them are very sensitive and they care deeply as friends. they are very caring if you face any problem.
@@sunchildtine and that's why I stay loyal to the genre, its artists are the most legit out there that any fan can confide to and actually reciprocate with real sympathy and respect.
I cannot believe this God awful band is still around
Papa Roach is definitely one of the bands that defined the turn of the 2000s kind of like Linkin Park. For those of us who are kind of becoming adults at that time you remember it to this day where you were what you were doing when those songs came on either from CDs or the radio.
Absolutely love that Papa Roach came to my high school to play during lunch in our quad in Sacramento California. I have photos but they’re not digitized like most of my high school photos they are in albums print it out.
I NEED an acoustic version of this song! The stripped back guitar and piano was heavenly!
Kerrang in the early 2000s: "We need something to play every hour, every day for the next 20 years"
Papa Roach: "Say no more"
I remember the days flicking between Kerrang, P-rock, Scuzz & M-TV 2.
Yeah this and Sunna Power Struggle.
OMFG yes, that brought back a ton of memories.
Jacoby is such a great dude not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve.
Did you not hear? He tore his heart open, and sewed himself shut
Dude yes
Was just gonna comment this. He seems so open and rather sweet? Could have watched far more footage of the guys and Jacoby
@@maxalvarez5223 underrated comment
The way he spoke of his issues made me think he's at least been through a moderate amount of therapy which was nice to see, he expresses his emotions well
I was first introduced to this song by one of my close childhood friends. We’re not friends anymore but this song always brings back to good times we had together
This song was part of a soundtrack to a lot of US service people's life from 2001 onward (including Bodies by Drowning Pool, Click Click Boom by Saliva, etc). You could hear "Last Resort" blasting from hooches, humvees, motor pools, engine rooms, and on and on. Most folks in the area (including coalition partners) would vibe and join in singing at the top of their lungs. Lots of people a special connection to this song because military personnel, particularly in dirty jobs and combat arms, have a dark sense of humor. It was always very cathartic because you can release pent up aggression and angst from all the messed-up contradictions that come along with military service. Even now it brings back good memories of camaraderie, so thank you for sharing a very personal and painful song with so many people.
gay
@@donephee lmao
This right here.
Youth of the Nation was another one.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice
This is surprisingly the most positive comment section I've seen in a while
Because it's about Papa Roach, not Trapt.
yoyo i was read to blow blow
It's Vice being Vice again. Not leftwing morons
"It's been...."
"Some..."
"Cut...."
Papa roach Is a shitty band, but without them i wouldnt hear other stuff
This song was a big part of my youth at the time. Iconic.
Congrats on being old now!
Same here
Agreed! Remember this well. Must have been 10 or 11 haha
I agree brother. Always will be an important part of my life because of it.
true broo
If you grew up with this song…you know damn well you know all the lyrics no matter how long it’s been since you last heard the song! It’s just one of those tunes!
I loved this song as a kid. I had a chance to hang out with them for a couple of hours back in 2008. Tobin handed me a beer and invited me on the bus. I ended up sitting on their tour bus drinking a beer and watching a UFC card with Jacoby. It was just the two of us, and I would have never known he was a celebrity if I didn't know who he was. He treated me like he had known me forever. It's something I'll never forget. They are all really good dudes.
This shed a lot more light on their story as opposed to any sort of documentary they did for MTV when they were at their height.
was not expecting to enjoy this as much as i did. these are some standup guys that deserved all the success they received.
I feel the same! Great doc!
and more
You should meet them in person. They are awesome.
I remember seeing Papa Roach on the second Anger Management tour with Xzibit, Ludacris, X-Ecutioners, and Eminem with D12! I remember Jacoby running and thrashing through the floor mid set. Epic show!
The Anger Management tour Was a great concert! I seen it at Deer Creek near Indianapolis
Tacoma Dome! Great times!
As a teen I vividly recall the release this song allowed and I now realize how vital that was for me. As a mom now I’ve snuck a lot of papa roach onto my teen’s playlists. if I turn it on in the car she says “YOU know this song?!” Thanks for making my teen think I’m a little cooler for music I secretly introduced to her, Papa Roach.
I feel like this song low key saved so many lives. A lot of teens with dark thoughts that found something to relate to when nothing and no one seemed relatable.
@@danpapich8948 im sorry but... What???
@@LosantoBeats dude i am so confused too
@@danpapich8948 yeah true how could you not. Know wat I'm saying. Because the and.
Being a angsty Chicano, raised in a Mexican American household where my family listened to Banda, Hip Hop r&b, and couldn't and wouldn't understand my personal issues and this song really helped me get through those dark times and I very much appreciate Papa Roach for existing at the right time for many of us Latinos growing up in America
We them rocker foos
Pretty much
LOL you think anybody gives a damn?
@@johnyaghoubi3782 you must since you replied vato
@@johnyaghoubi3782 I do
This was my first rock'n roll obsession when I was only 11 years old. They came to Brazil back then for Rock'n Rio and I cried all night because I couldn't attend the concert. My mom took me to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers the next day but it wasn't the same. This was my true jam. I was already a angry and depressed pre-teen and didn't know it. I remember listening to this over and over. They got me. I got the album with the roach on the cover and it was so expensive, it was imported. Good times.
Just adding in, that I was also there. I was only 9 or 10, but Infest was my favorite album. I’m still going through it, but I’m so happy to have bands like this and songs like this because I wouldn’t have made it without. Music is healing.
how am i crying to a papa roach video? 2021 is weird, i like it
I think I cried about 4 times during this video. So many memories of struggling with suicide and when I heard this song it felt like i could finally put my pain into words
@@prisp8119 I’m sorry to hear that, Priscilla. You are beautiful inside and out and we are all worthy of life. Keep pushing forward, we’re all here for each other.
@@bjornragnarsson8692 thank you so much for your words, kind stranger. If more people put in the time to write something nice to someone, instead of negative, it might actually save life's. Sometimes all it takes is knowing that someone cares, even if it's a stranger.
I’ve been a Papa Roach fan since day one. Now I’m an even bigger fan. I felt all of this in my soul.
same here brotha hahaha
I was 13 when my best friend commited suicide. This song helped me through the darkest time of my life. Thank you papa roach.
Hope you're doing better now, it's a very tough thing to deal with for anyone of any age, let alone someone at 13.
@@user23724 I still struggle with things. Mental illness is hard. Took me many years to heal. Time heals. Even the deepest wounds.
I was 2 when my dad killed him self
@@whatzupearthlings Thanks for sharing. It must have been (or may still be) really tough to make sense of that.
I’m so very sorry, Paige! Love to you 💜
The last 30 seconds of this video gave me chills.
As a homeless teenager in 2000, these guys and BEP and DMX was everything.
Hats off for surviving that man it was DMX, Papa Roach, Foo Fighters, Nas and Eminem for me
I wasn't ever a Papa Roach fan... But will go check out that album now. These vids really connect you to a song and the musicians.
I look forward to these videos, wish Vice would make more than they do.
I can let you know not a single second of your life will be wasted if you check out their entire discography. Start from the beginning :).
Wtf karl i didn't expect to see you here ( big fan btw ❤️)
Karl, Papa Roach has to be one of the most ever-changing bands in the biz. While I was a huge fan during the Infest days, I'm an even bigger fan now. The band members are all still together and making some of the best music they have ever made and seem to have grown up into pretty great guys along the way. Start at Infest and work your way through the catalog....it only gets better.
Most of their albums are solid. You can't go wrong most with their releases esp if you have an appreciation for the late 90's to early 2000's alternative / rock era.
Simpler times, I loved the early 2000 rock scene, skating, smoking, chilling. Listening to tracks and full albums, I really feel that the kids are missing out these days, commercial music is funnelled into them and it's all the same.
Nü-Metal basically.
People still do those things you goofball. Also skaters these days are way better. Not everyone listens to “commercial music” all day. There is still this thing called choice.
For real, you explained my thoughts perfectly while I was watching this. I’d give anything to back to those days, the best time of my life. I wish my kids could have experienced that era.
@@Cbd_7ohm did you grow up during those years? Assuming not as your response would likely be completely different. It isn’t the same AT ALL.
@@Cbd_7ohm Sure, 'choice', if it helps you sleep at night. Ever heard of 'landfill indie'? A&R mostly dictates 'choice' according to senior execs' wishes, based on money.
Which is why 16:18 is so hilarious - Warner firing an A&R guy for not conforming (and actually doing his job) meant they missed out on millions of $$$$.
23 year old from an extremely abusive household here. I discovered this song as a very wee lad, and honestly it helped me through hard times. For me it was reassurance that I’m not alone, all my friends o had spoken to about wanting to kill myself, then even through my 6 year struggle with self harm, at the time, this was the only band and song that was easily accessible and just openly talked about these raw emotions that people feel in their hardest times, they addressed self harm and mental illness and insanity and solitude and suicide all in a 4 minute song. And that song got me through some of my hardest times in life. Thank you papa roach.
Man, Jacoby is legit one of the nicest guys in rock n roll. He exudes authenticity every time I see his videos/interviews. Big ups J!
This song was hugggge and it didn’t matter what race, or nationality you were. You could feel the raw energy and relate.
You are 100% American
Never heard of it till today. Yet I listen to rock. 🤷
I’m Jamaican lol
@@sit-insforsithis1568 dumb ass.
yup, ive partied to this track in clubs after a reggaeton track jajaja everybody just feels it.
who else wouldn't mind them releasing a piano version of this?
Really fucking digging the piano version tbh
Yes! would love this very much!
that and an uncut music video
Something a bit like what the lead singer of twisted sister did to there song “ were not gonna take it”
i'm sure it's already on youtube somewhere
This song was hard to listen to back when it first came out I guess I didn’t want to face my own grief. Now I appreciate it so much more.
I'm older, 43, so became a fan of this song in college. It had some affect on me with my own issues during that time. Great piece Vice! The ending was awesome.
Am I the only one impressed with the raw instrumentation of these songs and the process of it all? Like the acoustic version even makes me go “wow”
This is the type of music that holds over decades.
Just hearing the piano gave me chills.
I wouldn't say raw instrumentation but rather a pure melodic structure. But yeah, it strikes through on piano as it does on a distorted guitar. It's simple but so fucking good.
I was shocked to see Marc . I was thinking throughout the documentary that he had passed. Good to see him.
Same,I thought song was about his death.
He looks like he's waiting on the Duke to come riding up. He even has that look on camera.
RIP
@@plutoloco2378 he’s not dead
They never said he died. Jacoby said earlier in the video that after the suicide attempt Marc was never the same and they went their separate ways.
this song was a big hit and it still rocks today. this song kept me protected during my toughest times. what a period of music videos on MTV, that paved way for many Cali based bands.
This will sound sappy and cliche but that song saved my life. It made me feel that it was ok to feel how I felt and that I wasn’t alone.
Dudes I live in Vacaville and my mom used to be good friends with them, go to all the shows, sell merch, and drive them around town in their early days. There’s a signed guitar in the office of Vaca Highschool too!
the only famous thing about that town
Haha just about
🚄
Such a dope little doc on a very influential song. 14 year old me couldn’t resist clicking on this
Fr. They should make little mini docs like this on all those one hit wonder songs, i would watch almost every one that ive heard the song
I was 14 when this was released. Almost 21 years ago now.
You r one wise 14yo. Rock on bro.
Please don't put out into public view the fact you are a minor you risk unwanted attention over time. You don't need to mention your age, kid. Don't do that.
So agree
That "Infest" album was really awesome. I remember it being the first CD that I saved my money up to buy myself when I was a kid. There newer stuff isn't really my style but that first album really shaped my taste in music for the next few years of my life. Still love to go back and listen to it now and again.
I'm not a P Roach fan, but dude...this riff might be the most epic riff out there. Also the documentary was greatly filmed, all the guys in the band seem super nice
My mom actually met these guys on a plane in first class. She was selling medical equipment and her job paid for everything at the time and Papa Roach was super popular cuz of this song at the time and she had no idea who they were when she was sitting with them when they told her who they were. She got home and told us and my brother and I were freaking out and asked if she got their autograph or anything and she was like, "uuuh no, but they were really nice and polite and very hung over."
That's great 😂 but they probably fount it refreshing to talk to someone who isn't s fan of that makes sense. The conversation feels a bit more authentic
@@adrianazashen I once met Cedric Bixler from At The Drive-in and he legit thanked me for just treating him like a normal dude. It honestly made me feel bad because I realized how many fake conversations that guy must have every day with people who just want something from him.
@@KiteAndKeyProductions That sounds awesome! Omar and Cedric look like genuine, cool guys tbh.
@@lemdavefn once they got off the heroin, definitely. Cedric has gone a bit crazy the past few years due to his wife being abused by the Church of Scientology and he wants to make them pay. She was one of the victims of Danny Masterson....
I am a 35 year old woman who grew up on Travis AFB. That Air Force base was next door to Vacaville, California. In my early teen years, so the 90s, I frequented three oaks community center. I remember seeing that cd. I remember seeing that roach. Then one day on the base, Papa Roach played at the local skate park.
Thank you Vice for making great content. I cried a few times watching this seeing three oaks again, watching Jacoby drive through Vacaville.. straight chills but so proud to hear their story because I was just a young teenage black girl who loved rock music.
Love this 🧡
Monster Squad!! I grew up going to three oaks
Vacaville is pretty much the same these days too. Hope more creatives make it from the area.
This song probably saved my life... because if it didn't exist for me to get that energy out through singing that song, I probably wouldn't be here now.
I love this series man but this one in particular really brings me back to my childhood. I was 6 when the song came out, same year my parents divorced under horribly traumatic circumstances. I couldn't tell you how the hell I heard it other than perhaps rides in my Dad's truck who always had Rock or Metal playing and Johnny B in the mornings in Chicago would play his favorite stuff new and classic. I remember hearing the song and not having a clue what suicide was until I heard it from Last Resort. When my parents split I went to a dark place and just remember attempting a noose of some sort because I didn't want to live without my Dad there everyday, luckily nothing ever came from it but this song makes those dark and disturbing thoughts come to light whether you want them to or not and it let me know-even at that age-that it is okay to not be okay. Thank you VICE for the video and thank you to Papa Roach for being resilient in their effort to get music that they felt needed to be heard and spoken about out here for us to hear. Peace and love to everyone and anyone no matter who you are, what you've done, or had done to you, you are worth fighting for and you have value. I fucking love yall so if you're feeling something new or old and can't handle it alone, please seek help. Much love and respect. 🙏 🤲💜
This is genuinely such a powerful mini documentary, when coby nearly broke down I choked up.
Would love to see papa roach do a piano rendition of last resort with jacoby singing more soft vocals
This brings me back to grade 7, downloading from Napster in my friend's bedroom, and checking who was online on MSN messenger.
~flashbacks~
grade 3 for me.

The 2000s were wild, man.
I came here after watching young Maya on AGT....I was blown away. So then I watched Papa Roach's version and it was like a gut punch. It reminds me of my nephew who took his own life 18 months ago, He had written the most heart rending poem.......and now this song. I can imagine his suffering and wanting to end it all.
wasnot expecting to have a papa roach video make me cry but here we are I guess.
Gosh I remember Papa Roach while listening to Korn, Rammstein, Orgy, Linkin Park, Incubus, Lifehouse, The Strokes, 3 Doors Down, Fall Out Boy... Too many to put... Such a great time for music
The 90s nostalgia is starting to kick in hard these days.
Right.... our generation had some great music🤘
the piano makes me want an acoustic version
Yesssss
Gave me immediate Chillswitch Engage vibes. Would love to see this song get that treatment
I agree. I also wonder after watching this if it'd been more epic with the original piano part as part of the song.
Agreed
There are plenty of acoustic versions of their music by them. Look it up
I remember last year. Was on my way to my job, and got pull over a young guy that started his first job in The company. I played "last resort" and he started loving it. I explain to him how this band emerge and create this raw and amazing song. And he become a new fan from The band. Is so good to pass on to New generations a different way to apreciate great music.
This song came out when I was a freshman in high school, and struggling with my own issues. It showed me that I'm not the only one going through what I was going through, and definitely helped me get through my own dark period.
the year 2000, no internet, 5 years old, waiting to hear this masterpiece on MTV, and then waiting for another 24 hrs to hear it again, good fkn times! then I heard blood brothers in the tony hawks game and I realize how this band touches my soul.
blood brothers 🖤🖤
No internet? Dude, I had an email, ebay, and paypal in 2000.

Glad you have it, but I didnt.

Well, I'm old. Shaddix is getting them "getting old " bags under his eyes. Ugh the 90s and early 2000s man.. Feels like a fuckin lifetime ago. What a beautiful time to be alive. But here we are today....
I don't know he looks pretty good for 44
@@tonygabashvili8357 oh no Tony I didn't mean he looked bad or anything I just meant that he is aging. While he's doing it well, he's aging all the same. As we all are obviously, some look better like a fine aged wine, and some of us aren't fairing so well and sort of got the Nick Nolte thing going on 😂 in the end it was just a recognition of time, and how what feels like a lifetime ago, we were all young. As I watch my idols grow old or even pass away, it's a Swift and quick reminder of how beautiful this long strange trip really is. Bumps and bruises and pain and joy and happiness and love and all. Seeing Shaddix with the "getting old bags " under his eyes just shot me back to 99, when life was so much simpler and wasn't drowned in what it is today. I apologize for rambling dude 😂 he does look great especially living the rockstar life, and seeing him just put me back into 10th grade when everything was new. Anyway, be well Tony 🙏
This was one of my favorite songs as a teenager a depression anxiety I remember buying the album and just listening this over and over again but I remember getting counseling and still going to counseling and never giving up and knowing that the world needs me to be there for others
I’m struggling with suicidal isolation and this year have Evan had an attempt where I walked out into traffic but somehow cars missed me and I re thought it for awhile. But I sit and listen to your music and let my emotions out it helps me survive another day when I’m bad off .
Hug
I'm glad that you are alive
This song got you sent to the school counselor's office with a security guard checking to see if you have any weapons on you or in your locker. LOL
As did sagging, wearing/cutting your hair differently and genuinely being yourself or outspoken. Welcome to 🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸👎 👎>
@blue you must've forgot of the Reebok Pumps. 😆
@@huhyahyah8150 I think they meant the song pumped up kicks
@@huhyahyah8150 It's because it has a bad stigma around it
I actually wrote the lyrics on a desk in middle school and I got sent to the counselors and she called my parents
Went to Highschool with these guys at Vaca High, they were awesome dudes.
I've been listening to papa roach ever since I heard last resort bc it really is a beacon in the darkest moments of dealing with my own drug addiction and suicidal thoughts. It took courage and love to write about such a heavy, personal issue and there's millions of ppl who are so grateful you did!! Mental health illnesses and suicidal thoughts are not a dirty secret that anyone should feel they need to keep.
I saw Papa Roach at the Assembly Haul in Champaign, IL with Eminem and Limp Bizkit. Groups like Papa Roach during that era really helped me get through a tough childhood and high school. The lyrics cut through me like a knife and gave me an outlet to put how I was feeling into words.
The story of is such an epic idea. I can only imagine how much time and resources it takes to film one of these, but I really hope you keep rolling these out. Understanding the story behind these epic songs that we were raised on, brings whole new life into them. Amazing
Yes I agree!
Hell yea I agree...they need to do wu-tangs first major single “protect ya neck”...How those guys came to be is a pretty epic story
So true!!!
My childhood best friend left this song on repeat in his truck when he stopped at the top of the Coronado bridge in San Diego and jumped off. He was 19. RIP Ryan. :(
Beautiful spot for a jump tho.

Went to see Papa Roach a few months ago on a free concert (organized by an indian reservation) in El Paso, TX. Literally one of the best and craziest concerts I’ve ever been to. The crowd went fucking NUTS.
I’ve played lead guitar my whole life and I am always in awe of singers who can just dig into their feelings like this.
I’m always surprised when someone tells me they’ve never heard Last Resort - how have you not heard this iconic song? Even as a meme, this song is great
Exactly..
Kids these days 😆
Kids born in 2000 are 20 now. But theyprobably didn't hear the song as babies😄
Those kids that were born after 2000 I’m sure their parents heard Last Resort. They might have even been to a concert.
Came here expecting to laugh. Left feeling good about life and respecting Papa Roach. Excellent stuff.
Yo same
Wow, hearing this song on the piano gave me goosebumps! It's just one of those songs for me. I love hearing rock on traditionally non rock instruments
This was so good and so criminally short at only 26 minutes. Feel like this could have definitely been a solid hour! Great work Vice.
I feel almost like they properly fit an hour into 26 minutes, like incredibly optimized, not a frame was wasted and nothing was rushed. The editor deserves a raise because they are gonna get scooped up by someone willing to pay them more. Well done Vice, I hope this is a new pattern.
For real I was enjoying it so much that I thought: If they did a whole hour + documentary I would enjoy it as much as this one. Great work
agreed!
Got maybe 30 seconds from the guy that’s own life was the inspiration for the song. That’s shameful. I wanted to hear what mark had to say.
This documentary series is actually one of the best I've watched, all the episodes. And the funniest part is that they've been doing "meme" songs so to speak but the story behind them are amazing. Literally can't wait for future episodes, especially of late 90s/early 2000s songs. Imagine if they did Numa Numa or All Star.
This man will never know how much his music is me and my life, Or how much it helped me in Iraq!! Thank you!
To kill Iraqi children ?
They knows
Trojan Hell no to kill the taliban
@blue Yeah they did actually czcams.com/video/3y_5vxM8PYM/video.html
@@trojanhell7639 nah
Powerful group of guys. I saw them a while back and it was like "oh ..that song ...and that song , etc..." 10-12 songs that were a soundtrack to my life over a decade and I didn't realize it. Grateful for them and their talent, hard work, and vision.
Last Resort influenced an entire generation. Thank you Papa Roach for still putting out killer music!
The first time I paid attention to the lyrics I knew what it was about, when you struggle with depression you just know.
When you also know English you can understand a songs lyrics and meaning lol
@@Rios70 well I meant it as I am not a fluent speakear of English lol
It’s actually hurtful when you say that the song was popular only in US! I’m from Kazakhstan and I was listening to Papa Roach and Last Resort helped me and my friends! We where teens, raised in post soviet, depressed from destruction, corruption and tyranny. And rock music was our salvation.
That's awesome! Hello from USA.
Do you know Borat? Haha
Well they did say they sold 5 million copies. There is no way they did that without your support! Hope things are better today friend. Keep on rockin
It was very popular here in Australia.
There is a huge rock scene in Mexico, we loved this band
This was my song 20 years ago when I was 16, it was playing everywhere I went and I played it to death when I got the album!
So heavy and meaningful and the lyrics mean even more 20 years later!
this band is one of my heroes
i come myself from a troubled family backround
it helped me cope so much better with everything at that time
I'm a Iraq Vet, 38 years old. When I was 17 I was in a really bad spot in my life. Bouncing between my heroin addicted mother and my own struggles with my demons when I first heard this song. I then saw them at the 2001 warped tour and it was one of the best motivating songs of my youth. Awesome Video!
And you put all that motivation into becoming cannon fodder, congrats...

No joke, was a teenager when this song blew up, got into it like everyone else. Never saw them live until they opened for Rise Against a few years ago in Chicago.... They blew the doors off the place. Fantastic live show. Now I regret not seeing them earlier in their careers.
Same here, loved them when they first came out, but didn't get to see them until my thirties at Rock Fest in San Antonio. My ex was shocked at how excited I was.
Pure energy live. Like most of the decent nu metal bands then 🤘🏼
I have been a fan since they hit the scene and have lost count on the number of times I have seen them live. They have never disappointed!!
was that at aragon? i was front row for that show in december
@@riseagainstfan1986 i think so! I'm not from Chicago, i flew there for that show, so i don't remember the name of the venue. It had a cool painted ceiling and looked like it was outdoors. It was awesome.
This song came out at the perfect time for me in my life, and what I was going through. Oddly it made me feel less alone, with what I was struggling with. Maybe because the lyrics made me feel like someone else out there also shared in the same torment that I was having then. Thank you Papa Roach.
These people seems so genuine and humble. I haven't seen many musicians like these. Most of them are arrogant or faking humbleness. Also their friendship too they didn't break up like other teen bands nd still going to this day. Really match made in heaven. 🤟
