Jacoby Shaddix Knows Papa Roach’s Cover of ‘Sweet Emotion’ Isn’t Good

Papa Roach once took part in a 2002 MTV tribute show honoring Aerosmith.

During the show, Papa Roach performed the Aerosmith classic “Sweet Emotion,” which was universally panned.

Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix reflected on the cover in a new interview, saying, “We just hacked our way. It was bad. It was not good.”

Shaddix added, “I could tell that they were just kind of, like, ‘Hmm, that was loud.’ We weren’t, like, classic rocker vibe, you know? And so we did our best, but it just wasn’t good enough. It just wasn’t good.”
