Limp Bizkit is the band everyone loves to hate! Why did Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit get so much hate, and how did it help Limp Bizkit? Was Woodstock 99 Limp Bizkit's fault? What about the Slipknot and Eminem beefs?

in 2014 met a dude at a show in montreal that was from the region where Durst grew up,
he told me the time Durst took his own Grandmothers' car without asking...
kinda like stealing it for a time :P Ha Fred :P
Yeah! Capulet Royal Pass y'all!
Dumb
How bout a Social Distortion video?
LORD GIVE ME THE SELF CONFIDENCE OF FRED DURST IN THE YEAR 2000
Hell yeah brother
I think that's all someone would need in life.
Anyone would be that confident if they'd hooked up with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera 😅😅
No human could contain that much self-confidence...you'd implode!!
Lmao hell yeah
In another universe, Fred was a top tier pro wrestling personality.
He did was a guest fighter on several WWE video games, and that Fight Club video game too now that I remember.
Lmao good one 👍💯
Uh, no. Pro wrestlers are some of the toughest, most in shape people there are, even the ones that look like they’re not. Fred is the exact opposite of that. He tries to look tough and cool, but he’s actually the limpest biscuit of all.
Lol. Just Bring It!😉
he'll make a great heel
Limp Bizkit is just a good time. Sometimes all you need is a song about nothing or irrelevant stuff. Not everything needs to be deep. Some stuff is just dumb party fun
yeah i know right cuz Limp can't do both, we don't have build a bridge or down another day.
they're more than a good time, your view and half assed fandom is the very fkn problem with LB
Lots of people missed that point
"Limp Bizkit is just a good time" - well said.
👏🤘
For today's dumb and shitty music standard they were quite brilliant actually
Y2K, the era when rock and metal had no problem comingling with pop culture to elevate its relevance!
"Co - mingling" isn't a word. It's just mingling. Lmao 🤡
You and Durat and Aguilera sharing the VMA stage
Late 90s really were the ultimate melting pot of culture where every genre got mainstream exposure
@@SoloSaga 🤓🤡🤡🤡
Yeah a terrible era. The worst. And comingling? What? These are the fans.
@@mildred714did you hit your head when you were a baby?
Being a white boy growing up in the bad parts of Jacksonville, and being a huge Korn fan, I instantly loved Limp Bizkit and still do. Also, my first cousin Scooter (Ronald) is the lead singer of Cold, which were Fred's first band he helped get going. I met him once as a kid while spending the night at my uncle's house and they would jam out in the garage, I would sneak out of my room and sit by the inside garage door and just listen to them...I remember the weird smells coming from under the door (it was weed lol), and I remember Fred opening the door and me being scared of getting in trouble, but he just ruffled my hair and said something to me like "better get to bed before you get caught" and went to the restroom, while I ran back to my room. The next day, I was wearing a hat and I remember him taking it off and putting back on backwards and he told me "that's how you wear a hat dude". I still wear my hats backwards to this day lol
bro
@@herbmaaster yeah that's alot to take in, I know
Does it bother Jacksonville locals that as soon as Limp Bizkit got popular they pretty much stopped repping their city?
@@dave011679 No.....we good, there was many a good show in Jax....Milk Bar, Club 5, Moto, The Edge, Einstein, 730 Club, Scrine Temple, and many more....... just about every band in the 80's and 90's played one of them.....
Met Scooter at the Royal Grove in Lincoln on May 20th
The best/worst part of the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix is when the promoters pleaded with limp bizkit to calm the crowd down. They say “alright” then proceeded to go into “break stuff”.
Rule 1 of being a promoter or show producer: Never ask a musician to comply.
well, would it really hurt Limp Bizkit if they played "Don´t break stuff" instead?
Which made perfect sense
It was just one of those days
It wasn’t even limps fault it was the promoters and rhcp fault for giving the crowd candles
"slipknot is for fat ugly kids" cameraman panning about to absolutely roast some kid 💀💀💀
I met Fred Durst in the early 2000s. He was one of the nicest, coolest “famous person” I’ve ever met. This was peak LB phase, and he was still chill and down to earth.
Yeah, turns out Fred is actually a pretty nice guy.
Ofc he was😂😂he's chill like that, thats why ppl hate him
A person can dislike limp, but it's physically impossible not to bop to them
Whatever, dude. That's not true. Just kidding. It's totally true.
Why can't these bands Korn and LB come up with new stuff like back in the day they would?
I still enjoy them unironically. Been a fan ever since I watched/heard their cover of “Faith” as a teenager in the late ‘90’s.
Banger
Same here.
@@danielclark-hughes692 no its not. its often cited as one of the worst covers of all time
@@mattalan6618 And that opinion is 100% valid.
I still rate it as a banger.
I saw it on the x games when I was 14.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Wes Borland is one ofthe most underrated guitar players around.
absolutely
Underrated with the fans maybe. Everyone he's played for.... Those in the game.... knew he was a beast
Why is "underrated" the new buzzword to use on every UA-cam video? And I don't think people are using it ironically or sarcastically. And then when you ask them to explain how such and such is "underrated", they can't.
fuck yeah just listen to Boiler (instrumental). It's so deep and so ahead of the it's time.
@@Ted_Sheckler Ever tried playing any of his licks?
The fact that Limp Bizkit succeeded is proof that everyone pretended to hate them just to be "cool," while they were rocking out to them in the closet.
I grew up with Limp Bizkit, Korn and Slipknot...and not just them. System of a down, Linkin Park and others also making a debut. It was a great and exciting time. Kids meeting up in parks and at houseparties, playing all the music load, starting to form own local bands. Glad I was around for it, before rock "died". It´s totally dead right now and has been for a while.
Rock isn't dead, they just aren't pushing the right stuff into mainstream. People like Joan Jett, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop have all released new music this year.
@@omgvaguei think they mean as far as new bands, rock died cuz the fans killed it, no one supports newer bands and we’re stuck with the same ones from basically forever ago now and the ogs aren’t making good music anymore sadly
Fred actually is doing good these days. Makes movies, works with rappers and rock stars alike. I enjoy their older music and that one song with snoop dogg, 'red light, green light'. Limp bizcut isn't all bad, free is kinda over zealous over confident guy, but the group did make some bangers and I stand by that shit.
"Makes movies"
That movie with the autistic scientologist?
He was doing better when he made an album with 4/5 world wide hits on it 😁 not a lot of heavy alternative bands did that
@@willr4880 I actually saw something I he directed or produced that wasn't bad. I can't remember for the life if me the name.
@@Ottophil never seen that, lolol.
Limp Bizkit was one of my favorite bands growing up and they still hold a special place in my heart to this day.
I'm not super into LB myself, but I will defend 'Three Dollar Bill, Yall' until my dying day. I still absolutely LOVE that album.
that one and the unquestionable truth
amazing records
Especially Counterfeit... That ending Riff
I'm not into them either, but Indigo Flow's end riff and Wes Borland is really cool
@@wallaceshawn-zk8iw I remember having a Counterfeit single back in the day with some remixes they had thrown in. Lethal Dose remix was my jam back then.
Dress vocal style on 3DBY is fresh as hell. Dude could scream his ass off
Fred Durst is one of the swaggiest dudes of all-time. Some of Limp’s lyrics were a little cheesy but their songs are fun to listen to and that’s what matters most. Great band. Nookie and My Way slap.
Cheesy indeed but the early 00s are the very definition of cheesiness so you can’t really blame them.
I don't think its cheesy at all. Its more vulgar, cheesy implies that everyone else was doing it. Who the fuck was saying LICK MY CHOCO-LATE STAR-FISH in 2000 lmao
I don't think its cheesy at all. Its more vulgar, cheesy implies that everyone else was doing it. Who the fuck was saying KISS MY CHOCO-LATE STAR-FISH in 2000 lmao
Oh, most definitely filled with just cheesy lyrics, but it was fun music. Every now and then, there'd be a line or even a whole song that wasn't cheesy and was a legitimately good thing. Lyrically, I think Take A Look Around and Rearranged are two songs where Fred pinned some great lyrics and told a great story throughout the songs. Easily their top two songs to me. Counterfeit is a great song too and it blows my mind that the label had to pay for airtime. Sour is another great song. And then there's all the straight up built for moshing songs like Break Stuff.
Their last two albums weren't all that great, but there were a few good songs on both of them. If they're having fun with it though, that's all that really matters in the long run.
@@SpaghettiYOLOKing Well said, m'dude! Take a Look Around and Re-Arranged def slap! Even Behind Blue Eyes is one of the best covers of all-time, even tho it was panned for some bizarre reason.
Being a massive Korn fan, I heard Jonathan Davis talk about LB so I bought their album right when it released and been a fan since. I've seen Limp Bizkit live more than any other band I'm a fan of, around 15 times. I met Fred just walking through the crowd at a show called Localbazooka put on by WAAF in Boston. It was '97 so no one really knew who he was yet. I wanted his autograph but the only thing I had on me was a dollar bill. He was real cool and seemed really excited that I wanted his autograph. He signed the bill and wrote 3's over all the 1's. I also was at the Ozzfest show in Mansfield when Lynn Strait from Snot came up out of the toilet butt naked. Good times!
I've missed lb in concert. Seen hundreds of acts but they are my #1 want to see
fast foward to now and people still dont know who he is.
wow
That 3$ bill is holy, like that jesus towel
Chocolate Starfish and the Hot dog Flavoured Water was my first ever CD, and I have listened to it probably a thousand times. I eventually got the first to albums and would fall to sleep to a random one every day for years, surely. This band is so ingrained in me, and I both simultaneously love that they have been getting more attention lately, but also secretly hate it. I stuck with them through all the hate friends and others gave them, they always felt like my band - nostalgic, safe, energetic. Love these videos though, you are a legend.
Metalheads be lying if they say they dont sing along, dance or even bop their head to songs like Nookie, Break Stuff, Faith, Rollin, My Way, My Generation, Dad Vibes, Eat You Alive and Gold Cobra.
I was at a hard rock bar weeks ago quite drunk and started randomly singing Break Stuff in the smoking area and had like 6 different people joining in with me and my best friend. 🤣
Limp Bizkit too fun and catchy
@@metalheadjake3339the riffs on Break Stuff go way too hard NOT to bop my head to
@@metalheadjake3339I'm not lying when I say I hated Chocolate Starfish.
It was the first album I ever bought to, great fun!
It'll be ok.
I had 3 dollar bill before faith became popular, i remember when significant other came out going to get it day of release. I've been a fan since the start and continue to be one. They are insanely entertaining and love them or hate them, put them on a stage, give them an hour and the whole crowd will be left exhausted and entertained to the fullest. One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
One of the first cds they wouldn’t let me buy 😂❤
Oh, awesome. You were into Limp Bizkit before they blew up. So cool.
Same. I remember the smell of the booklet when I opened the cd case
"Significant Other" is such a great album, tons of fun!
Me too
Sam Rivers is a killer bassist, that bass with the light up frets was always so cool
As a bassist, his bassline are fucking killer and so damn unique.
The whole rhythm section is underrated. Nu Metal in general had some killer grooves.
i know right. When I saw his light up bass guitar I was curious and wanted to know more. Turned out it was my first time seeing LEDs
He definitely kicks ass! Especially the Bass Riff on Rearranged
He switched from being bullied to the actual bully. A Good example is Break Stuff . The voice changes are interesting and I kinda love it.
I’m almost 41yo and was a massive Limp Bizkit fan in high school, I even saved up and bought myself my first 7 string guitar for my 17th birthday (it was a Schecter 7 string and cost just over $800 from Long and McQuade) just so I could play along with their first 2 albums. I’ve seen them live 8 times, the first time was in Toronto when their openers were SOAD and Method Man/Redman. That was my first introduction to SOAD and I bought their first album the next day immediately becoming a massive fan of them as well… I still listen to Limp Bizkit’s first 3 albums fairly often and it always gives me massive amounts of nostalgia… Limp Bizkit still kicks ass and Fred Durst is still the man 🤘🍻
People may hate Limp Bizkit, but anyone who was alive and has memories of 1997-2002 knows the words to all of their popular songs. I bet you could play 2 seconds of the beginning of one of their songs and most people would say "that's Limp Bizkit".
Absolutely, Nookie, Faith, N2together, Rolling, Full Nelson, tons of fun.
Golden Cobra is the best
"It's just one of those days"
Now you're singing it in your head
@@XxLIVRAxXBreak Stuff, My Way, My Generation, Hot Dog, Gold Cobra, Eat You Alive
Heck, even their new song Dad Vibes is catchy
@@metalheadjake3339rollin
People can say what they want BUT Fred Durst is one of the realest to ever do it. When the industry told him to change the music, he said FU. When the media would attack him, he'd say FU. He never changed, he was always honest, he was never fake, he loves the fans & he has a giant middle finger for anyone else!
I agree that being controversial helps a lot with achieving fame and that if we had more bands like Limp Bizkit today rock would be more mainstream. But we have to consider the 90's when the mainstream wave of rock was fronted by incredibly down to earth people who had a lot of positive messages, regardless of their own struggles and drug use. They had strong but wholesome personalities and the music was really good, those things combined resonated with a lot of people.
Despite what people want to say, their first 3 albums were really good. Todays Metal artists can learn a thing or two.
Thier first 2 I would say we're dope...chocolate starfish not so much
The Unquestionable Truth EP is up there with $3. Still Sucks wasn’t too bad, but just felt like a demos.
Lol metal. Yeah right.
@@bongscott3738nu-metal is a sub genre of metal. It’s gonna be okay guy, LB being referred to as “metal” doesn’t change what your preferred bands mean to you. Take a breath and let it go, you’ll feel much better ✌️
@@MrShadez810 nu metal lol sorry there's no defending lb. Keep posin' posin' posin' your lil heart out.
As much as the media low balled them as a band, they helped escalate their success. Which we all know LB is a good band, sonically even if it was just made with tongue in cheek lyrics. Let's not forget some of the biggest names in hip-hop collaborated with them and made bangers in the process. Fred had a master plan.
Fred was 'new era commited'. But whatever happened to them now! Why they can't come up with some new great stuff to break stuff?
watching this reminded me that i saw them live more than once as a teenager twice in 1998 alone i was suprised ro find out people were still listing to limp bizkit all these years on. musically i think their bass player and drummer do not get enough credit those dudes have a nice groove honestly the bass player is pretty tight
I just saw them play at Louder than Life ‘23. Durst wouldn’t play until they shut the screens off. “We didn’t come here to be on tv!” The crowd yelled “fuck you!” Flipped him off. Then proceeded to sing every word to every song. They love to hate them.
While Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Slipknot and the Family Values tour definitely brought the larger-than-life shock rock drama to the mainstream, sooner or later that drama bores people, and people migrate *back* to the simple guys with jeans and t-shirts playing guitars onstage. Limp Bizkit are enjoying a resurgence and a new appraisal from younger fans, but in the mid-2000s their career's decline was a harsh one. I remember when Wes Borland bailed on Fred for some other project, and Fred put out this extremely rough "diss" track that sounded like something a kid would make. I was sure we were never going to hear from him again at that point.
Plus that show in Chicago...2003
There is a high school kid watching this right now who is going to take all the advice... Limp Bizkit 2.0 has been born
🙋
@@evansonne34 get after it!
I recently discovered your channel and I'm obsessed! You do great work 😊 Greetings from South Africa 🎉
I am from Argentina, so I mainly spent my pre-adolescence years listening to classic rock music from my own country. It was until, I think it was 2000, when the song from Mission Impossible came out that and I got into Limp Bizkit. I bought the Chocolate starfish album and remember liking it a lot and being amazed by the heaviness of it (I was 12 and it was my gateway into “heavy” music). I listened to that record a lot with my friends at the time and ending up getting the rest of the discography and loving it.
Since I am not from the USA, limited news, mainly through MTV, reached to me about the band back in the day, so I was not aware of all the hate towards Fred Durst. Always thought he was an outrageous kind of person, but in a cool way and really admire Wes Borland (I remember being really sad when the news broke of him leaving the band).
Eventually, I got older and more snobby about music, so I started listening to other bands, but I guess it was thanks to Limp Bizkit that I got into Linking Park, Korn, then Deftones and after that the 90s Grunge/Alternative scene which ultimately led to discovering my all-time favorite band which is The Smashing Pumpkins. I guess that Billy Corgan in his own way, is the Fred Durst of 90s alternative rock music, but with immense talent for songwriting in comparison (someone should make a video about that?).
In the early 2010s, Limp Bizkit came to Argentina for the first time and even though I was happy about it, I was a fool and did not attend to the concert. Maybe next time they come. I will come by and rock with this younger generation that seems to love them. I have to pay my respects!
I remember back in 2010 Limp Bizkit posted the video for the song "Golden Cobra" and during my first watch/listen, I felt a sense of dread. I had thought to myself "Oh no. This is really really good. Like all of it! It's all really good?! Oh no." And nobody believed me. Like, they wouldn't even give it a watch. Good song/video still.
I was top 0.1% of limp bizkit listeners in the world on spotify. I fucking love limp bizkit, man :D
Worked backstage in the 90s. Fred Durst was the only one who got a slap on the face by one of my coworkers. He was the most arrogant and ignorant person we ever met backstage. He deserved all the hate that he got.
The intro graphics at around 2:50 are pretty sick, good job with the new format
Limp Bizkit is the band that started my adventure with heavy music. It was the year 2000. I love them for everything.
Makes me want to put on a Limp Bizkit album, and so I will.
Haters gone hate. The red capped soul patch is a goddamn icon.
Never liked them, but seeing this retrospective makes me think about them in another way and I think it's very cool to see how, as a band, you need to manage a lot of things outside the music. Cool video Finn!
Man 1997 to 2003, the only era in time where you could watch MTV and see a Hard Rock/Metal band making the crowed go nuts while hot chicks are doing a catwalk in bikinis.
I wished I was a teenager at that time
You really start to see why no one cares about Rock and Metal no more when you’ve got Metalcore and Deathcore bands screaming in the mic in a dark place with led lights and guys dressing in boring black clothes with beards.
That’s partly why Emo couldn’t connect with more people in the mid to late 00’s, why would you want to listen to guys that dress like girls that constantly whine about not being understood, why no one understood Emo’s just look how they fucking dressed back then, like fucking weirdos. Granted the Emo bands didn’t dress boring, but they went the completely opposite way of dressing like it’s the mid 80’s again, dressing like Boy George, Adam Ant and Cindy Lauper, but those bands failed to realise it was 2006, and not 1986.
This is where Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit understood the youth culture coming up in the late 90’s, most kids were dressing in sports and baggy clothes, most kids wanted a band that was energetic music to trash their rooms to, just look at Eminem when he first arrived in the mainstream in 1999, Eminem and Limp Bizkit basically had the same audience at the time.
you could see that sort of stuff in the metal days of the 1980s as well. motley crue were no strangers to bikini models, and i'm guessing the guys in limp bizkit are no strangers to motley crue's music and videos.
@@perfectallycromulent to that point, Limp Bizkit did partially cover "Home Sweet Home" on their Greatest Hitz album
I was a radio DJ from 1997 to 2002, and it was actually kind of amazing to behold Limp Bizkit's rise to fame in real time. Love him or hate him, Fred is indeed a marketing genius.
Loved this video and you were spot on! Nice to see the appreciation for this frontman and band starting to come around. Huge band for me on my journey.
Danny owned Milk Bar. In the 90’s they had shows a couple times a week. So many good punk bands came through Milk Bar back then. It was a basement club in downtown Jacksonville. It was dark and dirty. The ceilings were extremely low and they had exposed pipes on the ceiling. They had to lube the pipes (pun intended) to keep people from grabbing them.
Side note, I was a body piercer in Jacksonville in the late 90’s and into the 2000’s, Fred never worked at a shop. My friend Nick Wagner was in the LB unofficial documentary back in the day and decided to be nice in it
Seen them on Rock am Ring this year . The crowd was going nuts. Good time.
I still love Limp Bizkit now. Fan since 2000.
I graduated from highschool in 2001, so I have so many vivid memories of this time period in "pop culture". At this point I had jumped head first down the rabbit hole of punk & hardcore within the last 2-3 years. Yet I still watched MTV, listened rock/alternative radio and absolutely enjoy a good amount of what I heard. Around this time the big local rock station ( 99.1 WHFS based out of Washington/Baltimore)would put on these huge one day festival or as they called it WHFestival. It was general admission, ticket cost $20-$25 I'm not joking. And believe me you can think of any big band of that era they were on the bill. (Enough of my ramblings) so in 1999 they held two festivals one in the spring (per the normal) and a fall edition. The headliner of that Fall Edition was none other than Limp Bizkit. Now I was never a huge fan, but never had this hatred that others had. I'm being a 100% sincere when I say that they were fucking awesome live. Absolutely killed it.
Been a fan of them for years , from hearing them for the 1st time around “significant other “ the music the attitude , the “I don’t give a fuck “ approach , I was hooked
Never let up either , through all the years of them being hated by the media & so many in the metal scene , this never swayed me opinion of them EVER …. I LOVE THEM .
there music still fills me with that hype/angst/rage felling like hearing it for the 1st time .
Off to see them live again here in the UK for a huge open air gig in august after there huge epic shows in London earlier this year .
limp bizkit fan for life me … proud of it to 🤘🏼
Just a personal anecdote:
I saw Faith No More on their “Album of the Year” tour and Limp Bizkit were the opener. We arrived during LP’s set and the crowd was absolutely brutalizing them. This was before they had much notoriety and Wes Borland had kind of a teased hair look and a corset on. They did sound kind of rough, but as a guy who has played for a tough crowd, I could definitely empathize. They were literally booed off stage.
Mike Patton proceeded to berate the crowd during their own set for their behavior and repeatedly FNM broke into the song “Highway Star” by Deep Purple as a kind of punishment. It was pretty awesome.
Years later, I saw Buzz Osborne do an acoustic set and he told a similar story about Mike Patton berating a crowd for booing his opener and my life felt complete for a brief moment.
Anywho, that’s my story. Carry on.
That clip of Eminem explaining the beef is hilarious, I get that many rap beefs have this element of schoolyard antics to them but that never came across more clearly than in this clip
Yea. I love Eminem but in hindsight it seems borderline impossible not to get on his bad side if he just decided it so. I mean, at least he had some sort of reason I guess... lol but a band backing out of a song seems like is probably an extraordinarily common thing.
They are just bad people, I used to like them, but I want everyone to know what happened when they came to our country, Taiwan, for a performance in 2015. At that time, the music festival venue was in a bit of chaos due to a typhoon just passed, Limp Bizkit became furious and showed extreme disrespect towards the stage crew. They occupied the stage, continuously hurling vulgar insults at the staff, throwing around equipment, and even dousing the event photographer with water. It was unacceptable to all the audience present. They showed no respect for the people of our country. I have seen Korn, Slipknot, and Nightwish, and they are all incredibly nice people.
Didn’t happen
@@Csnich96 it did happened just google it, they are one of the worst people in rock genre and they even closed Instagram when that happened😉 After this incident I believe they will never have the chance to do asia tour again☺
I read a lot of comments where people had the opposite experience, with Fred being friendly to everyone from fans to the last crew member. There had to be something that happened to them that made them lost it. Sorry for that experience though
Good stuff man. This the second of your videos that I watch. Just subscribed 👊
Another banger vid, Finn. What you said about the entertainment and music industry is something I always think about. It's not enough to just play your guitar or sing with a nice voice and be good, but people seem absolutely flabbergasted when confronted with that fact. You need more to stand out and make waves, which is a goal you can achieve in a myriad of ways
I never cared for their albums myself...but they put on an amazing live show. Love them, or hate them, anyone who has seen them in person knows this is one of the best live bands ever.
I saw Limp Bizkit at Leeds fest years ago, one of the best live acts on there, was incredible!
Magazines, labels, music critics hated them but only one album sold 10 million copies. They've achieved massive success. y2k nu metal is all thanks to them.
if fred durst was the first to see this video he’d comment ‘first’ and click off of it
Band was secretly everbody's guilty pleasure and their legacy shows it. Tons of childhood memories associated with the Bizkit 🔥
not me. i legit hate the band
Not for me. Fucking nu-metal killed my beloved adult/pop alternative (Barenaked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls, Semisonic, New Radicals, Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler, etc.).
I bought Three Dollar Bill Y’all so fast when it dropped. My friend and I was all in on Limp. I’m glad we got to see him in concert back then fun times!!! Ages later I still enjoy that album and some of their other music..
I still listen to LP regularly, great workout music too. I remember a friend gave me their demo tape with "stuck", it was red/transparent, I'll never forget it. Been a fan ever since.
Dude, love your perspective on this one - appreciate how you called out how rock is lacking the entertainment factor these days AND how the lack of entertainment factor is contributing to it's current lackluster condition.
Limp Bizkit sometimes are the one reason why I don’t hear critics. You can hate their music, say is stupid and say a bunch of other shit about it, but it doesn’t take away the fun of it. I will say that some of their material is pretty bad imo but those first three records are fun jams. 9 teen 90 nine is one of my all time favorite nu metal songs, and Trust? is also up there just because of how funny the song is. They’re just so good at their craft.
Love them or hate them. One thing can’t be denied. They were the most successful band to introduce metal and rap. They paved way for bands like Linkin Park and much of the new rap rock today. I really enjoyed their Significant Other album.

My first 2 metal albums were Hybrid Theory and CSatHFW. The next two were Toxicity and Iowa. LB are one of the pillars whether you like or not (yes, Korn came soon after so don’t panic 😂)
Still one of my favorite bands. Grew up listening to them. Fred is an awesome dude and he never deserved the hate
Ah yes. Another day, another nu metal video. Thanks Finn for blessing my day 😅❤
Great breakdown and analysis.
I do think that to ride the "hate" train to success, one has to do it _right_ though. What I mean by that, is that one has to ACTUALLY have a strong amount of fans that support them while _using_ critics to promote/market their business. A lot of people try to use hate to build their brand but don't actually have a strong enough fan base (or musical talent) like Limp Bizkit or Nickelback to ride that train and they end up just being buried by negative reviews. A perfect example is Trapt. Chris Taylor Brown can type all the hateful tweets and responses he wants on his band's Twitter, but Trapt only has one hit song out of _eight studio albums._ Limp Bizkit has been nominated for 3 Grammys, has 26 singles, and 40 million albums sold.
Limp Bizkit and Nickelback have both been the target of disparaging attacks and they would admit that they aren't the most talented musicians in the world, but they are fully aware that they aren't actually that bad and they're able to "play into" the negative perspective about themselves because they know that they can _actually_ appeal to people who might like them.
Man I'd love to go to that Capulet Fest 😟 A lot of really good bands on there. I'm a big Memphis May Fire fan. I'm Wearing their camo windbreaker that I got at their show in Nashvillle a couple months ago right now.
people can say what they want. that bassline in re-arranged is one of the greatest of all time
One thing that wasn't mentioned in the video and it always comes to my mind when I hear the name Limp Bizkit, is their cover of Metallica's Sanitarium. Do yourself a favor and go listen to it. One of the best covers ever!
Would love to see you do a video on bands like Apartment 26, Gargantua Soul, Insolence, Primer 55, Boy Hits Car. Would be awesome.
Seeing Limp Bizkit now, Fred never gave a single fuck if they were liked or not, and I respect that. He still doesn’t care, it’s genuinely funny how much he does without giving a single shit.
I still love Limp Bizkit to this day, no shame at all about it
Agree😊
Great grooves and no one could get a crowd moving like Fred Durst
I love how you say the world needs "more 'limp bizkits'"
It's not about more angry frat music, it's about music that captures your attention.
I sent Fred a lyrical piece about 15 year ago on Facebook and he replied (paraphrase);
You speak to our kind. You understand the message. Don't let yourself get in the way of yourself from spreading this message. It's not about you, but about the people that need to hear this.
- I sent this to him for validation. I'm a big bizkit fan and thought one day I would be a Rockstar as well. I haven't created one piece of content in my life but I was validated 💯
This reminds me of my cousin who just passed. We we’re always best friends and in high school she knew a karaoke bar that won’t card me. We went every weekend. Her boyfriend always did limps faith. Good times.
I've always been a limp fan even before the blew up. I never turned into a hater but to be honest I did get to a point where I felt embarrassed when people caught be listening to them 10 years after they blew up. Now I don't give a f@#k. I'm happy they still touring and are having a Renaissance
If you're talented enough, people definitely will just show up, play a guitar and you'll get fans. But for bands like (case and point) Limp Bizkit, dude did everything in his power to blow up without the talent being at the forefront. bro said "okay yeah, we suck, I get that...but I'm gonna make it your problem not mind"
AND IT WORKED
I was a little young to understand the drama in the late 90's and early 2k's, but this is amazing. I didn't know so much of this went on. Just makes me love the band more. Amazing video bro, I'm off to find some of these old interviews.
Idgaf what anyone say... it maye it cause im a Floridian who also was a teen when they were on the top a thur game, but they were sick.
It was goofy (music and their personalities), but that was most the appeal. It was hard , scrambly, just a helluva great time. Ever one loved each other, and the shows were fire. They were sooo hilariously comedic on stage but also did shock rock stuff, and STILL had a tight band with an original sound. Ima say, "ya just had a be thur", cause honestly, u probly had to for the kost part... But those shows a thurs we went to ever week or 2 for those yrs. Were just rowdy, crazy, yet fun af in not a hateful way. It was all love, Dude.
Just as i write this , ima bouta say do yall remembered the "flush em to hell tours" (?). ..& just then Finn mentioned the giant toilet.
See...comic gold. They knew what they was doin
[& im basically a person who mostly goes for real hard metal.
Anyone this entertainin thow, well they got me, idc what genre.Lol.]
I’ve always respected limp bizket despite the hate. I get the hate, they have a lot of cheese, but they are talented. I’m glad to see people revisiting them and liking it.
If people will start liking spin doctors again I’ll be fully redeemed.
I love Limp Bizkit damn good band NU-Metal at it's best

Bro, you left out a killer detail! When met Korn and was tattooing Fieldy he kept talking to them about his band and their band and the music business and stuff and he got so distracted he misspelled the tattoo on the back of Fieldy's neck.
Not me. Im seeing them in London this August with my best friend and im pumped for it. I like LB. Did back and still do now
The fact that me just liking LB makes metal elitest and gatekeepers angry makes me love LB more
This actually surprises me, seeing you cover LB in a relatively positive light, especially considering your review of STILL SUCKS and listening to like 4 seconds of each song and saying the whole thing is terrible (even though it's actually really good; you just gotta listen to more than 4 seconds of each song 😂 ). Seeing you put your own personal bias aside to show the history of certain bands that have succeeded in the face of adversity (another example is your coverage of ICP) has definitely gained my respect.
Just to help you understand, the edited version of my review isn’t going to show me listening to the entire album in real time.
Fair. Still, it's refreshing to see you do a history lesson on them in a respectful way. I've been seeing you do that with lots of artists that you don't necessarily like, which has brought me back into being a fan of yours. I loved most of STILL SUCKS, so I was admittedly a bit salty about your review of it, but then again, I can't expect my cup of tea to be pleasant to everyone, and that's fine. If there were never any differences of opinion on things, life would be boring as hell.
@@ThePunkRockMBA keep up the amazing work. I learn a lot from your history videos. Very entertaining stuff
Oh still sucks is a banger and genuinely one of their best albums
Every lyric of Significant other lives rent free in my brain, without my control, since it's release. I needed this video, help me share in this.
Love your vids, this made a sub of me.
I only got into them as a teen during the 2010s and actually got to go on stage as a 12 yo during Faith. I didn't know them as well, but I'll never forget how kind Fred was after I came up to him for a hug. It's only in hindsight when you realise how legit they actually are (for me then especially) since you are really taught to only cringe about them
I'll never understand the hate that came from a band that never even took themselves serious. They were and are still a fun loud and rowdy band.
If any band in history gets the title of "love to hate" for me, it's indeed Limp Bizkit. I think Fred is a terrible vocalist and lyricist, a decent screamer, and a grade school-level rapper backed by a solid band (hey, kind of like RHCP if Keidis could scream), but I'd be legitimately disappointed if they broke up. For all of Fred's shortcomings, the guy's got stage presence for days and a weird charm to his immaturity. I only actively like maybe a handful of their songs, but I hope they stick around to annoy me for years to come, lol.
Break Stuff is still my go to song for driving on the freeway, has been before I could even drive
loved them growing up, was a little embarrassed to sometimes, many years later i can see how they really had a perfect mix of catchy music, controversy, and just giving people what they want, i would call them legends.
Who would have thought that in 2023 we would say that we need more Fred Dursts and Limp Bizkits

Limp Bizket did for music what Isaac Newton did for science. 10,100, and even 1000 years from now, Fred Durst will continue to be the centerpiece on the Mount Rushmore of music.
🤣
My favorite band. 🤷♂️. #90sBaby. I found LB when I was 12-13 years old. (Currently 33) and they've been on my playlist since. Three dollar bill ya'll, all the way to the recent "Still sucks" album. Love it all!!
Hell yeah! They also gave us the best song for a Wrestlemania promo in My Way for Stone Cold Vs The Rock!
Turning 16 blasting the significant other cd through my disc man hooked up to the cassette player in my 96 ford white Taurus wagon hoping it won’t skip when I hit a bump in the road ….keep on rolling baby
