The Dude from Papa Roach Got Herpes from Kissing His Uncle

It was reportedly "terrible."

Remember Papa Roach? Sure you do. They were that band that had the song that was like… uh, well, we don’t remember exactly what song they had. Oh, was it that one that was like, “I-IIIII I feel so alive! For the very first time!” No? OK, well anyway, Papa Roach was(/is?) a band and their singer Jacoby Shaddix was interviewed recently by Hit The Floor Magazine. He was asked about his firsts—first fight, first crime, first pet. Then he was asked about his first kiss and let’s let the magic of storytelling take over:

“My first kiss was when my uncle kissed me and he gave me herpes. It was terrible. Anybody else got herpes? [looks creepily at camera] Yeah, you do! Don’t lie to yourself. I know you got it, you watching this.”

Definitely a very normal, not at all trailer parky story for the guy who wrote the song… um, jeez. Was it the one that goes, “Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor?” No, OK. Well, whatever song he sang, here’s hoping Jacoby got some Valtrex for that situation and maybe moved on to non-relatives for makeout partners after he hit it big with his hit song, um… “Click Click Boom?”
