I think Limp Bizkit has gotten the Vanilla Ice treatment. Everyone loved them back in the day but now they're treated like lepers. Nobody will admit it but we all used to like them a little bit. In 10 years, people will play the song "Nookie" in a playfully ironic way, much like we do with Ice Ice Baby now.

i used to think Wes Borland was super badass with his makeup and costumes and such.

and actually everyone in the band were pretty decent musicians, they just got dragged down by the Master Of Suckage and probably the worst frontman in rock history, Fred Durst.

I think I liked, maybe, one of their songs. It was one of the slower ones.

I never for one moment liked "Nookie." And it was the overexposure of this kind of crap that finally pushed me completely away from listening to music on radio stations.

First CD was solid, the sound and intensity was a bit more raw and less contrived. Wes gave the band a personality that worked and the guy is flat out talented. They hit the sceen at just the right time when Korn was coming up and setting the foundation for Rock, Rap, Metal all in one type of sound so the base audience was right for the taking. I like what Wes is doing now and his music is still pretty solid even if he has to do the vocals himself. They just did what anybody would do and completely sell out for money and exposure, I can't blame them for that. Too bad we couldn't have at least got 3 or 4 solid pieces of work out them.

Counterfeit and Stuck are still two of my two most favorite songs.

they might still be popular today if somebody in the band had to balls to tell Fred Durst to tone it down. I think most of the Limp Bizkit hate we see today isn't because of their music, it's cuz that guy was such a fucking douchebag.

I still love that song on Chocolate Starfish where Fred think he's rapping by rhyming "fuck" with "fuck".

I haven't heard anything he's done except for Big Dumb Face, which I actually liked alot.

:tu Counterfeit was the shit.

And as for Fred, he did get pretty annoying after a while, but I'll still have some respect for him after he directed KoRn's video "Falling Away From Me". Love it.

The only thing I would have liked about these guys is if they had scheduled that video shoot on the WTC buildings for the morning of September 11, 2001.

I used to listen to that stuff before intermural games. It may not be good music but it got the blood flowing and helped me play through a couple of hangovers on Sunday mornings.

Black Light Burns was much better check that out somewhat of a heavier NIN and Wes does the vocals.

4 walls
Coward
cruel melody
I have a need

are 4 songs that come to mind that I really like. I'm ok with Big Dumb Face but its a bit stupid at times.

I'll admit when I was younger I liked them...but note the fact that I say younger. I was a 10 year old douche bag when they were hot and I didn't know better.

Back to Basics nailed it. 3 dollah bill, ya'll was pretty fuckin cool, and I still jam out to Counterfeit to this day. Significant Other had some very catchy tunes but it was contrived and too mainstream, they were complete shit after that.

Introducing the Chocolate starfish and the hotdawg flavored water! Bring it on!

It's a Fucked up world; We're a Fucked up place
Everybodys judged by their Fucked up face
Fucked up dreams; Fucked up life
A Fucked up kid with a Fucked up knife
Fucked up moms and fucked up dads
and a fucked up cop with a fucked badge
With a fucked up job with fucked up pay
and a fucked up boss that's a fucked up day
fucked up press, fucked up lies
Well lethal's in the back with the fact of the fires

more poetry goodness

Yeah, I rocked to their early shit....and even held on to Chocolate starfish....still I remember Woodstock 99 and Limp's performance stole the show. It was a watershed moment...I remember P diddy rocking the Sacramento White Chocoloate Jason Williams jersey during their set....too funny and my oh my how times have changed.

i liked their version of "Behind Blue Eyes." it was better than the original one IMO. i bet durst liked it too, what with the kissin of halle berry in the video and all. ah, i'd love a taste of that sweet berry...

other than that, never really listened to them.

those pussys bailed out the big day out in Australia when a girl was killed during their set. The footage of how it happened is not allowed to be released. There hated at Big Day Out.

That used to be a great angry song but that video was and still is a posterboy for wiggers, starting with Fred Durst.

After listening to that song again, Break Stuff is nowhere near as gay as that "let the bodies hit the floor" trash, which was probably only popular for the violent lyrics.

Last Resort is a much better song than both of those songs.

If that song came out now it would be performed by some trash emo band like Fall Out Boy, but oddly enough the video would probably still be the same.

Last Resort is extremely overrated where I live.
In school, everyday there's always one asshole that plays that song like 5 straight times. It was a great song, but I can never get that song out of my head and it's pissing me off.
