Song Meaning[edit]

It would be good to put something about the meaning of the song. It talks about suicide and it being used as a laast resort, heance the name of the song... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.250.46 (talk) 16:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, that would be really dumb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.151.125.36 (talk) 23:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree its about suicide but also it talks about depression so i think the meaning is about depression and suicide . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.109.2.124 (talk) 16:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Like most Papa Roach songs, i think you can clearly hear/read what the song is about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.241.143.81 (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see to remember this song being fairly controversial at its release, as it was seen as legitimizing suicide. Is it worth putting in the article? Nlsanand (talk) 06:01, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stolen from Iron Maiden[edit]

Guitar solo taken from Iron Maiden's Genghis Khan, I'm darn sure. Listen at 1'46! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.21.75.216 (talk) 21:59, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

^ It's a riff, not a solo. Didn't think there was a solo in "Last Resort." The article lists this as a "sample(interpolation)" which are two different things so that should be verified and fixed. It is also of note that Maiden recycled the riff in "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and "Infinite Dreams." UselessToRemain (talk) 18:41, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

^ The riff sounds more like Asia - Time Again. Anyone knows how these 3 are related? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.134.70.238 (talk) 21:46, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Street Punk?[edit]

Where's the realiable sources that proves the song is Street Punk, Hard Rock or Rap Rock? .-. Totally Nu Metal dudes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sergiohsilva100 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genre[edit]

Nu metal (like what the source says) is a subgenre of alternative metal so it's really redundant to put alternative metal in the genre field. Nu metal and rap metal is the best way to put it. Not all nu metal has rapping but this song is nu metal and has rapping. It's a nu metal song and a rap metal song. It is an alternative metal song but again it's really redundant to put alternative metal. Many sources probably will call Cannibal Corpse a metal band or a heavy metal band instead of calling the band a death metal band. However, that doesn't mean that we should add heavy metal to Cannibal Corpse' genre field.

Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name"[edit]

The guitar riff during the verse was stolen from the main guitar riff in Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden. When I say stolen, I mean note for note, dot to dot, straight up stolen. It's in the same key and even at the same tempo. Maiden should have sued. It's one thing to influence a band, it's another for them to straight up steal from you. 71.176.222.55 (talk) 00:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
