What is the best nu-metal song ever? The guys from Papa Roach would like to have a word. In a newly posted video clip to their socials, all four members of the band weigh in on the question of what is their favorite nu-metal song, but the band members’ answers also seem to indicate their selections being considered for “best” nu-metal song as well.

Did Anyone Pick their Own Song?

Let’s be honest. Any discussion concerning some of nu-metal‘s finest work probably should include Papa Roach‘s own breakout hit, “Last Resort.” But did any of the band members actually say that?

“I’d be biased and say ‘Last Resort‘ by Papa Roach,” starts singer Jacoby Shaddix before changing his answer to reward another act. The short video clip also concludes with guitarist Jerry Horton confidently claiming, “It’s gotta be ‘Last Resort,” without any waffling.

What Else Did the Papa Roach Guys Pick for Favorite Nu-Metal Song?

As stated, Jacoby Shaddix did eventually move off of “Last Resort” as his pick, eventually stating, “I’ll give it to Limp Bizkit ‘Break Stuff‘.”

“I don’t know, probably like ‘Blind‘ or something from Korn,” bassist Tobin Esperance added, explaining, “I feel like that was the first time I heard that opening, the intro to ‘Blind‘ I was like, ‘Oh shit. This is something I haven’t heard before.’

Korn, “Blind“

Drummer Tony Palermo went another direction, sharing, “I know the Deftones don’t like to be coined as nu-metal, but ‘[My Own Summer] Shove It’ is up there.”
