Papa Roach: Burn aimed at former label
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 December 2010
Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix has confirmed that his band’s recent single ‘Burn’, which I think is about watching someone who stabbed you in the back burning, was aimed as his former record label. The band are currently embroiled in a nasty split from Universal’s Interscope/Geffen label, with the band claiming they are owed lots of money from the record company. The bad blood between the band and label is no secret, the former having earlier this year urged fans not to buy a greatest hits album release by the latter.
Commenting on ‘Burn’, which appears on the band’s album ‘Time For Annihilation’ released by new label Eleven Seven earlier this year, Shaddix told Rock AAA: “There’s a lot of two-faced shit in this business. Interscope/Geffen pissed me off – it was a really bad ending with them. They owe us a good chunk of money and they don’t want to give it to us. We’re like, ‘Fuck you, we’re done'”.
We should stress that we don’t think this means Shaddix has any plans to burn down Interscope and Geffen. Though if their offices were now to catch fire, the Papa Roach man might regret his lyrics when the police show up.
