Music Mayhem Magazine JANUARY/FEBRUARY (Papa Roach Faces Their F.E.A.R.) | Page 17

How does it feel to be on the same label as Motley Crue?

Its pretty surreal man, but you know we toured with them before which was also really surreal. Me personally I’ve actually got to tour with Nikki Sixx and Sixx:Am for awhile as their drummer. You know growing up the first time I saw them was in 1983. That was a huge deal for me it was really special.

Other then the release of F.E.A.R. on January 27th 2015, What else can we expect from Papa Roach after this tour with Seether?

We will be out this whole year, we are doing Soundwave in Austrailia which is going to be banging like Slipknot, Soundgarden, Faith no more on different nights. Then we goto the UK and do our headliner in the UK then come back we've got some time off after that and we go out and do the summer festivals like Rock On The Range, Carolina Rebellion, Rock Fest. There is a lot of cool festivals popping up now. Then back off to Europe for their summer festivals and then probably another US proper headlining in a package and then once again back to Europe in the winter right before the holidays. We are trying to expand and get down to South America and Japan. We just did Japan actually with Slipknot and that was Banging. There was like 30,000 people at the show, it was incredible.
