Jacoby about "Fight the Sky"
"Fight the Sky – it’s metal music. Our guitar tech plays guitar for it, and another friend that’s on the road now with us is playing guitar, and we have an African-American drummer. We have a mixed-nut crazy metal band. It’s just crazy metal. It’s just something that’s totally different than what P. Roach does. They were like, ‘Hey, want to do some vocals on this?’ So I’ll do some vocals on the road, pop in on some studios here and there. We’ll throw some shit on the net, give some shit out for free, and release something once we’re done touring with Papa Roach. We’re just doing it indie-style, we’re not doing it through a major label. We’ll just get it out to the kids through the underground. Who knows what the kids on the underground will think. They might be surprised, because it’s pretty fucking good. It’s cool to be involved in something that’s so different."
     
Mike Doherty
  Mike(a.ka. "Dirty") was the 2nd guitar guy during the touring cycle of LoveHateTragedy in 2002. When Papa Roach recorded LHT, some of the songs have two different guitar parts and a second guitarist was needed for touring.

Mike has been playing for a Orange County band called "Longfellow", who has played shows with Papa Roach in the past.
     
Ryan Brown
(Ex drummer)

 

  Dave Buckner visited for 1 year the college in Seattle. Meanwhile the recording happened of ' potatoes for christmas '. Since Dave wasn't available they got Ryan as a' stand in' Drummer.

Ryan was a friend from the Highschool. He was a member of the Bands called ' eunuch ' and ' ultravex'.
     
Will James
(Ex Bass)

  Will James was P-Roach's first bass player.

He left PR because of some fights caused by a summer camp he was involved in. He is now a police man in north California.
Will and Greg were in two bands together after Will left PR.
The first was called ' everelse '. They had two songs on some samplern and a few smaller tours between 1997-1998 with a high light show of ' jimmy eat world ' in phoenix.

The second band was called ' sorry about the fire ' which includes Will, Greg and Jassen Jensen.
     
Ben Luther
(trombone)
  Ben Luther played the trombone for Papa Roach. He never had the chance to appear on any record because Jerry took his place.
Bens father was the music teacher of Jacoby (singer of PR).
Ben's nick name in the High School was "Hippy Ben" and they later shortened it to "Hip'm Ben".

He lives today somewhere in the Sierra Mountains.
