The only John Bush song I'm familiar with is "Black Lodge," and it's the only Anthrax song I like. Dark and disturbing, with a video to match.

Oops, I forgot this is a Limp Bizkit thread. Well, "Black Lodge" aside, I actually prefer Bizkit. Not a good band, but not as awful as people say.

Even though I now consider them to be one of the most annoying bands in history, I have two good things to say about them:

1. Counterfeit is still a good song
2. Their bassist is ****ing awesome

Limp Bizkit's "Hot Dog" was one of the greatest songs ever written. That song reflects my life at work. I listen to that song whenever I have to get something off my chest. My co-workers pissed me off today... I was managing the inventory and I was cleaning up some shelves. I accidentally dropped one fruit. Because of this, my co-workers lost their temper. They really irritated me today. My co-workers should take a lifetime supply of chill pills. When I got home from work, I listened to Limp Bizkit's "Hot Dog". I do not understand why some people are so messed up, but "Hot Dog" is a song that cheers me up.

I know you joined in April, but April Fools' Day has long passed.

"Hot Dog"? Why don't you listen to "Break Stuff" instead?

I like Limp Bizkit. I prefer Limp Bizkit over Korn. I think Three Dollar Bill Y'all was their best album. Since then they haven't been able to live up on Three Dollar Bill, but I like Re - Arranged and I also like Results May Vary. Wes Borland is my favorite musician on Limp Bizkit. My favorite performance of them is when they did that Metallica cover Welcome Home (Sanitarium). I was blown away when I first saw that. Recently I did not like DJ Lethal leaving Limp Bizkit. He was replaced by someone who is very mediocre. I like this band since middle school but as time went on I started understanding music more and I listen to composers, artists, and bands that are creative with the melody and the harmony. You actually don't hear too much melody on Limp Bizkit, only sometimes. That's why I like Results May Vary. But their instrumental stuff is very respectable.

The latest albums are crap, seriously, each new release disappoints me a lot. Obviously you can't make the same type of music over the years and sing about the same "Everything is f**d, everybody sucks" thing when you are 40, but c'mon Deftones and Korn are still releasing good albums!

Music for children.

x2 but for children with a bad attitude.

And their drummer is also pretty good in fact i think Limp bizkit's downfall was Fred Durst

He just exudes douchiness for some reason

Everyone loves to haye the bizkit but I like em. Significant other was a great cd

I like a few tunes by these guys, but I cannot handle a full album. I just can't. I like the songs by them that everyone seems to like, such as Nookie and Rollin', because those are classics in a guilty pleasure kind of way, but everything else? Holy ****, kill me. Normally I'm fine with nu-metal to a degree, but once he starts trying to imitate Chino Moreno from Deftones, I want to turn it off and shoot myself.

I never understood the hatred for these guys. Sure, they're corny as hell and their lyrics suck, but I'd be lying if I said I never rocked out to some of their tunes through my car stereo.

Which sadistic **** bumped this thread? xD

Fred Durst sure does put a lot of people off! His lyrics certainly aren't the greatest but from what I've seen in interviews he really seems genuine about what he does. It's amazing to think that Chocolate Starfish was the fastest selling album of all time when it was released (that record is now held by Nsync. hmm). They toured Australia a couple of times recently and pulled some big crowds. They're a fun live band and they actually look like they're having a good time when they're play, much rather see people enjoying themselves on stage than some pretentious bunch of hipsters acting like they're way cooler than their fans.

Fred Durst is not a lyrical titan, but I like his character. Seriously, his character is very original. He's tough, aggressive, energetic, but has a little bit of a good side. He also has a sense of humour.

A small digression: Fred Durst mentioned: "don't hate me, i'm just an alien with 37 tons of new millenium" (Source: LIMP BIZKIT LYRICS - Livin' It Up) Why would Fred Durst say this? Here's my assumption... He wants to diss someone, but he doesn't want to mention this person's name.

Durst looses tons of cred for this "guitar solo". Starts a bit of a ways in.

Durst is King.

ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'
What.
ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'
Come on.
ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'
Yeah.
ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN'

I was into My Way back in the day. Sounds just a little more chessy these days in comparison to back when they were popular.

Bands sometime go dormant for awhile, but they always seem reappear here and there with new fans.
Mostly younger listeners.

Easy to understand why a teenager would like their vibe.

:laughing: that sounds like one of those '[Insert Band Here] Shreds' videos.

Easy to see why younger generations are drawn to their music.

That "solo" is kinda how I play guitar right now (I just started learning, and have to stop and look at the neck every time I move my fingers). I feel bad for him, pulling something like that in front of a live audience...

I feel worse for the members of the audience that cheered after.

Well, from my concert experiences, people are usually pretty drunk by the time that the main act comes on. So maybe they were so smashed that they would have applauded for anything.

That was hilarious.

Wut. He's a cartoon wigger stereotype. How exactly is he original?

When I listened to Limp Bizkit, or when I still or do listen to Limp Bizkit, it is for Wes Borland and his guitar playing. He's under rated, the poor lad. I think he should be picked up by some well known Metal band known for great leads and such so he can prove he's so much better than what he's known for.

Black Light Burns, his own band, better than pretty much anything Limp Bizkit has put out...and, Wes doesn't have a half bad voice, actually sort of has a unique sound to it.

But from the video above, it seems like Fred Durst could take over as the lead guitarist pretty easily. *wink*

Too bad he let the whole image thing overshadow his playing.

I have to agree here.

Check out Black Light Burns though, he's better with his own band.

I don't know, he seems to be ranked pretty high on some of the surveys I've seen in the past.

Wes Borland's entire claim to fame is that he's the underrated guy from Limp Bizkit. If he was from a less awful band, would anybody really care? Is he actually good enough for anyone to take notice without him being in a cartoonishly awful band?

I think he is, yes. Go check out Black Light Burns, he's the guitarist/lead vocals. I am not saying you'll be blown away, but I think you'll notice that his playing has a more tasteful or thought out quality to it. I still think he is capable of much better work, but Black Light Burns isn't the appropriate outlet for the kind of playing I know he's capable of. It's just an alt rock/industrial group he put together.

I personally don't, i liked him in limp bizkit cause i always saw him as the guy who was gonna keep Fred at bay.
Sure enough when he left Limp bizkit became more about Fred than the band.

Limp bizkit wasn't that great of a band to start with and loosing wes made their sound even more commercial.

i still have a soft spot for their 1st album though, to this day i still luv this song
