On the good side, Coby Dick's lyrics are honest and do more than just scream "Papa Roach in the house!", which at least seperates the group from the Fred Durst crowd.
Unfortunately the band backing Coby Dick is only average with the exception of Jerry Horton, who creates some original and catchy riffs and can play a mean rhythm section over the bass and drums, which only do a mediocre job and never leave their simple rhythm playing.

The band is named after Dick's grandfather, and Dick says the name has become symbolic through the years.

 Papa Roach: Biography 2002
Singer-songwriter Dick, guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance and drummer Dave Buckner achieve Dick's estimable goals with Infest (released April 25, 2000, on DreamWorks Records).
Las Vegas City Life praised the quartet for its "surprising moments of vulnerability and sensitivity in its cathartic opera-core, [Dick] sounding almost pleading in the world-weary voice of youth betrayed"; the publication also informed, "Papa Roach stakes out its own territory" (May 20, 1999).
At the teens' first gig, a 1993 school talent show, Dick's mom overheard a judge mutter, "I hope they don't quit their day jobs." The band improved by leaps and bounds, however, and was soon selling out 300- to 500-seat venues (some of which would have required fake IDs had the band members been patrons).

 Copyright Ryan Bassett, April 2, 2001
Prior to the concert, Papa Roach frontman Coby Dick did his best impression of Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan as he blamed slow ticket sales on a lack of U.S. publicity afforded the band during its recent European tour.
A few minutes later, the natives were appeased: The stage was bathed in a sea of red light as guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance and drummer Buckner took their positions and erupted into “Blood Brothers” while Dick bounded in and went straight for the lip of the stage, leaning out into the surging throng.
Dick, who surfed into the crowd whenever he had a spare bridge or chorus, proved himself a more than capable big-tent rock and roll emcee, pouring limitless intensity into his highly personal songs, usually with enough passion and zeal to compensate for his occasionally pedestrian lyrics.

Jerry Horton, who picked up the guitar because he wanted to learn Metallica songs, didn't go to school with the other members of Papa Roach.
The band's first gig was actually a 1993 school talent show.
After receiving his first drum kit for Christmas, he declared, "I'm sick of this school band crap—I wanna play rock 'n' roll." Buckner's original instrument that turned him onto music was the violin.

 Pollstar -- The Concert Hotwire
Originally from Vacaville, Calif., Dick, Jerry Horton (guitar), Tobin Esperance (bass) and David Buckner (drums) have been together since high school in 1993, when they would play teen centers and parties.
And although the name Papa Roach has nothing to do with drugs and more to do with Dick's grandfather, "Papa Roatch" the band is a sort of father figure, or "Papa," to its fans.
Then when we went around the country and kids bought our record, they're like, 'Dude, Coby, I'm really into your lyrics and I don't feel alone when I hear that song.' I didn't realize the effect or power or responsibility, in a weird way, that you hold.

 Papa Roach and Alien Ant Farm at the Hammerstein Ballroom (NY Rock)
With songs on overcoming alienation and life's setbacks, nice-guy singer Coby Dick was like a preacher of the church of hardcore, punk, funk, and hip-hop, all unleashed by guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance and drummer David Buckner.
Guzzling a beer in five seconds before launching into the reggae-inspired "Tightrope," Coby belched a few times adding, "by no means am I a role model." The song combined reggae beats and metal into an interesting mix, while the lyrics covered madness, homicidal minds and cyber sluts (whatever that is).
Punch drunk and exhausted, singer Coby stared at the crowd, thanked it profusely and then disappeared via stage left, offering no encore or excuses.
