Slipknot's Jordison Bangs The Skins For Papa Roach
Yahoo! Music, Nov 13, 2002 1:00 pm PST(11/13/02, 1 p.m. ET) -- Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison sat in with Papa Roach during P-Roach's European tour closer at Brixton Academy in London late last week. The sold-out appearance took place during the encore of Papa Roach's headlining set on Thursday (November 7). Jordison's own side project, the Murderdolls, which features the drummer instead on guitar, had opened the show.
This is not the first time Jordison has joined Papa Roach on stage--he appeared with the band for a version of their song, "Singular Indestructible Droid," on October 30 in Munich, Germany.
"This sent the kids into a craze...it was really cool to see," reads a report on Papa Roach's official website (paparoach.com). "That guy is an awesome drummer. They did the song once in soundcheck, and then in the show. We watched the tape on the bus several times and it pretty much rules."
Papa Roach is scheduled to appear at a radio festival in Estero, Florida on December 10 along with Default, Saliva, Blindside, and Darwin's Waiting Room.
The Murderdolls appear Friday (November 15) in Worcester, Massachusetts and Saturday (November 16) in Old Bridge, New Jersey.
