10 Songs That Could've Been Written By Vampires

2. Blood Brothers - Papa Roach

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-NXLOwUgRg Vampiric-lyric: "Blood is rushing through my veins I got the power, channel the energy and with my strength I will devour" Chances are as you hit play you've just gone "Oh THIS song!" thanks to its inclusion on the now-legendary Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 soundtrack - one that to this day is up their with the aforementioned Vice City as some of the best collections of tracks to any game. One of the biggest identity-shifts for an established artist was Papa Roach's seemingly-sporadic change from being a nu-metal rap group throwing out generation-loving lyrics like "Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort", to that of making radio-friendly genero-rock. It's a move that's reflected in frontman Jacoby Shaddix, who between the time of their first big singles and now, looks like a completely different person. Papa Roach remain incredibly fun live provided you can just go with the newer material (To Be Loved is just unbelievably damn joyous when there's thousands of you getting stuck in) but it was with Blood Brothers from the band's career-defining Infest album that really shines as some of their best work.
