Jacoby Shaddix previously revealed that Papa Roach were planning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Infest” with some special shows and more. Now, during an interview with Metal Hammer, the frontman also revealed that the group are “putting together a piece to kind of look back to the early years.”
Shaddix said the following about the band’s plans:
“We’re putting together a piece to kind of look back to the early years and recap those moments. And as we were going through the process of putting this thing together, it just brought back all these old emotions and all the shit that was going on in our world at that time. It was fucking nuts. We were crazy. I’m so glad I am where I am now.”
He also added:
“We’ve got some more things up our sleeves and we’re going to be making announcements in the middle of the summer for the fall. We’re going to do some special shows around it.
Also, we just did some re-recording of the earlier music. There’s some remixes and that kind of stuff, just because we’re out of contract with the old music.
It wasn’t about reimagining what we do to it now. We matched it note for note, matched tones, I tried to get my voice to do the same little small inflections, so if we do remixes it sounds just like the track.
We’ve been having the man taking our shit for long enough, so we’re cutting the third party out and taking it back. We were partners back in the day, but now we’re not partners, and daddy gotta ride.”
