We've collectively delved back through our archives to share a selection of historic images and features that tell the story of this remarkable record.Īlternative cover art for Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother created by Storm ThorgersonĪtom Heart Mother was the fifth studio album by Pink Floyd. To celebrate, we've put together another special collaboration with Rock's Backpages, the definitive online archive of music journalism. You can watch the clip below.This week marks the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother. Shaddix then mouths, "Ronnie" while giving two thumbs up, then mouths "Wow" before tapping his chest around his heart. After visibly bobbing his head for the first portion of the clip, he offers an "ooh" at one point, takes a breath during an emotional part, then raises his hands to the prayer position during a break in the vocals with praise. To help drive home his support, Shaddix posted a 30-second reaction video. The singer went on to discuss the song's legacy and Ronnie's role in keeping it going, adding, "We are humbled that this song, 20+ years later continues to be meaningful to so many. Right to the true emotion and depth of the lyrics. "WOW I AM BLOWN AWAY!!!!," exclaims Shaddix in a new posting. And for those of you hating or feeling that someone has messed with something that should only decisively be Papa Roach's, Shaddix has shared his opinions on the song, joining in those praising Radke's efforts. That said, while Jacoby may have given his blessing, there's still the matter of hearing the final product. This is me paying homage in the best way I know how." I got the blessing from Jacoby and I think that Papa Roach are one of the nicest, humble and most down to earth bands to date and it inspires me to keep going, since they have been so successful for so many years.

Radke tipped a bit of Shaddix's reaction upon the song and video's release this week, commenting, Thank you to Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix for the blessing to do this" on Twitter, and later adding in a statement, "I wanted to reimagine one of the biggest rock songs of the last 20 years, because lyrically, it is so powerful and resonates. But what about the artist who originally did the song? What does Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix think of Ronnie and Falling in Reverse's take on the single that broke them to the masses?

While social media was initially overwhelmingly positive with their reactions, eventually more haters made themselves known while reacting to the Radke-led version. Falling in Revere's Ronnie Radke had social media buzzing earlier this week with the release of his interpretation of Papa Roach's "Last Resort" as an emotional piano ballad.
