Papa Roach lead singer Jacoby Shaddix recently sat down with “Hit The Floor” magazine as part of their “HTF Firsts!” series, in which musicians talk about things like their first album purchased, first crime committed, and of course, first kiss.
Shaddix’s interview starts off with a bang, as he reveals the first crime he ever committed was stealing bubble gum. While on the surface that seems rather harmless, the fact that he did it from the grocery store that his dad was managing really upped the ante, and it set the tone that many of his firsts involved his family.
HTF eventually asked him to talk about his first kiss, and his answer couldn’t have been more repulsive:
“My first kiss was when my uncle kissed me and he gave me herpes. It was terrible. Anybody else got herpes? Yeah, you do. Don’t lie to yourself. I know you got it, you watching this.”
Um, no, we don’t, but at least now we know one of the reasons why the majority of Papa Roach’s songs feature some of the most depressing lyrics ever written.
Here’s something a little less gross than getting kissed by your herpes-infested uncle: Which STD are You?
