Edit: foreword-i have never owned a limp bizkit album
IDK man.
I posted a fairly recent interview with Fred some pages back, (pre festival surprise,) and i saw a dude talking about being thrilled about playing CLUBS, and interacting with his fans.
I saw a man who wasn't overly concerned with "making the scene." You know, like Harry, from the Sultans of Swing.
Current day Fred Durst, TO ME, appears to be fairly laid back, NOT worried about relevance, and just THRILLED that he's able to tour with his band, and play small shows, and be alive.
I just CAN'T root against a guy on that wavelength. I can't.
And it was that interview that led me to check out the festival set, and then the record.
And fuck. I dug it.
And as far as record sales? I'm not trying to be a dick at ALL here, Bill, so please don't get mad, but i mean, billboard numbers are a thing now, for measuring the quality of music? I mean, yeah...
you bumping that new Drake? it's been number one for a few weeks!
you see what i mean?
Normally idc about record sales. I listen to plenty of underground bands that do not even chart in the top 200. My point was at one point LB was the biggest band in the world (somehow). They were on Guns N Roses/Metallica/U2 levels of record sales and popularity. Number 1 albums etc. To go from Number 1 albums to Number 155......Thats a death spiral and a free fall from grace, the likes that haven't been seen since Vanilla Ice. Its a stunning collapse. How a band can be the biggest band in the world and then be abandoned by 95% of their fanbase.

oh man, I was supposed to see Wargasm this spring but the tour fell through; I guess they decided to tour with LP instead.
love the sound, just wish they had better availability of music.
They are playing in my hometown next week, but i'm not going, hope to catch them next time, they are great live!
WOOOOW, Bizkit and Dying Wish the day before my birthday?! Abso-fuckin-LUTELY!

I wish every band I love didn’t absolutely hate the midwest in 2022. I’m so tired of fucking road trips man.
Sucks being a B city, I guess in the pandemic cooldown bands have to hit their money cities in the US, then over seas in late fall/winter 2022, their money cities again in spring 2023, big festivals in the summer and maybe some random B market routing dates in the fall of 2023.
They played in my hometown last weekend, first live performances ever of "Out of Style", "Dirty Rotten Bizkit" and "Dad Vibes"

Ouch. Out of Style sounds rough.
I saw Limp Bizkit open for Metallica. They were truly horrible. When Fred went out in the crowd to "sing" Behind Blue Eyes with a tape backing I was wishing I had a rocket launcher.
Revolver Magazine: Fan Poll: Top 5 Limp Bizkit Songs
https://www.revolvermag.com/music/fa...p-bizkit-songs
I definitely wouldn't have added Rollin' to that list. I'm surprised Faith is not there.
Man that list seems like it was selected by the Revolver editors. Majority of those five would not be on mine at all.
Full Nelson, Boiler, Pollution, Nookie, Stalemate
That's a list.
I would include "Livin' it up" and "No Sex"
This is awesome!
Mine would be Rearranged, In Together Now, Mission Impossible, Break Stuff, Faith, Stuck.
Controversial opinion, but I LIKE Behind Blue Eyes. The singing is reasonable and the production is killer.
Every bit of Nookie is awesome except.for.the lyric " I did it all for the nookie so you can take that cookie and stick it up your" I'd LOVE a version with an instrumental.chorus. Alas, that chorus made me lose some respect for them.
Rollin' is what utterly killed it for.me back then, and I WAS rolling at the time, like three times a month.
But no amount of MDMA could make that song listenable.
The best Limp Bizkit song is The Truth and you can't persuade me otherwise.
as much as i hate to admit it, wes boreland was good with danny elfman. couldn't even recognize him if you didn't know who it was. of course would've rather had robin finck but he had a good excuse. josh freese was great on drums with elfman too.
Re-Arranged is one of their best, no doubt, i do like "Behind Blue Eyes", i think Fred's vocals in that one are done with love and respect.
I just heard "The Unquestionable Truth" last week and forgot how good it was, i hope they'll release the supposed sequel sometime in the future...
I read somewhere John Otto and his daughter are gonna do some dance show on TV?
