Papa Roach News

(8/1/02, 7 a.m. ET) -- Papa Roach will make "Time And Time Again" the second single from its latest album, Lovehatetragedy. The group will shoot a video for the song this weekend (August 3-4), in between shows on the Anger Management tour.

Details about the shoot are unknown, however Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix, writing on the band's official website (paparoach.com), offers: "All I can say is that the video will not suck."

Meanwhile, Shaddix appears to be having a good time on the Anger Management tour, which also features Eminem, Ludacris, Xzibit, and others, saying he's "having a blast" and has been "partying (his) ass off." However, the singer/guitarist admits that things will soon change with the arrival on the tour of his wife and infant son, Makaile, marking his son's debut on the road with the group. "It will be interesting," Shaddix writes.

Shaddix tells LAUNCH that the arrival of Makaile has changed his life in the most profound of ways. "It's easy to love that kid," he says. "Like, for me, right when that baby came out, man, I was just like, 'I love you.' I just look at it, at my son, and I'm just like, 'I don't know how I couldn't love you,' you know, it's just, like, unconditional. And with a woman it's just a f--kin' battle. I'm sure it's gonna be a battle with this kid, you know, when he's five, you know, like, 'C'mon dad, c'mon,' you know. But then it's like, there's just no way that I couldn't not see myself loving it, so it's nice to have somebody in my life that is easy to love."

The Anger Management tour appears Thursday (August 1) at the Allstate Arena outside Chicago.
