Music video

The music video, directed by Jesse Davey, depicts the band playing in front of a young woman, the "Hollywood Whore" to whom the song is referring. Eventually, the woman arises and blood is seen falling from her eyes. The skin and muscle on her face deteriorates and turns to that of a bloody skull, and blood begins to explode out of her mouth, completely drenching the band as they are performing.

Reviews

Blog Critics reviewer Jordan Richardson, in reviewing the album Metamorphosis states, "'Live This Down' kicks a little ass as a pretty catty revenge tune and 'Hollywood Whore' works well enough on similar ground."[1] Reviewer Dan Marsicano also speaks favorably of the song in his review of the album, stating, "After a short instrumental, 'Change Or Die' hits the speakers with a blast of rock that can only be described as a firm kick in the ass... 'Hollywood Whore' continues this upward momentum with a hard-hitting tune that has Shaddix ranting about the glorification of the entertainment industry. 'Sorry, but the party’s over,' Shaddix yells at the top of his lungs, letting everybody know that Papa Roach is ready with gas can in hand to burn everything to the ground."[2] Press Association music reviewer Nick Howes says the song "invokes memories of classic Mötley Crüe".[3]
