"This is like WWE." What happened when Papa Roach met Justin Timberlake - and got some sage advice from Korn bassist Fieldy

Papa Roach and Justin Timberlake in 2001.

Papa Roach became one of the New Millennium's most unlikely megastars when Last Resort, the propulsive, angsty rock banger from the California four-piece's breakthrough second album Infest, landed on an unsuspecting public in the Spring of 2000. Backed by a memorable video starring the band and their diehard fans, it catapulted Papa Roach to the forefront of the exploding nu metal scene, leading to them rubbing shoulders with some of rock music's biggest names - and even a pop A-lister or two.

Speaking to Steve Appleford in the new issue of Metal Hammer, the Roach explain how a tour with Korn during the height of their newfound popularity led to them getting some precious advice, courtesy of Korn bassist Fieldy.
