Ah, but Limp Bizkit are pop music. pop = popular music. They're selling sh*tloads of cds. Not there's anything wrong with pop though. I doubt I could listen to metal music all the time - you need the light stuff as well
There's plenty wrong with Limp Bizkit though....
1) Fred Durst doesn't sing, he whines.
2) They swear so they appeal to 10 year olds (my generation anyone?)
3) They come across as such utter twats in interviews
4) They have facial hair issues.
5) They're nu-metal. And everybody knows that 'nu metal = sux0r!!1111111'
6) They've very few decent riffs in their songs
7) They try to be hip-hop/rap - oblivous to the fact that Fred Durst can't rap (getcha groove on anyone?)
Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

In response to NekkidBibleman's post:
1) Fred Durst Can sing, as proved in the songs Re-Arranged and My Way. He's better at screaming/rapping because that way you can feel what he's saying. Singing can't really do that.
2) Lots of bands swear in their songs. It doesn't mean they're aimed at 10 year old kids though.
3) Fred can get a little tongue-tied, but not Wes, he's very smart. Could you blame him? How would you cope with a barrage of questions under the spotlight?
4) ??? Wes has a goatee? So What?
5) Nu-metal? Greatest thing since sliced bread!
Deftones, Korn, R.A.T.M..etc.
6) How about ALL of rearranged, the intro to Counterfeit and the heavy part of My Way...to name but a few.
7) I think you mean Hip-Hop/Metal. They invented it. Rapping = Rhyming. Most of his lyrics are rhymes.
As for ADREN..I'm assuming he meant Bubblegum/Boyband POP which is utter TRASH! Bizkit may be going POP admitedly...but so what? If you can make good music and still make lots of music..keep doing it

No way - Rage Against The Machine were doing it first.
Anyway - Limp Bizkit...
I think it's just Fred Durst everyone has a problem with They started off really well - 3 Dollar Bill Y'All is a fine album as is Significant Other, but Starfish is too (c)rappy for metal tastes and now that they're appealing to the 14 - 16 year old market (who'll buy anything), they're made up!
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Wes Borland rox yer jox - the next Tom Morello??? He can sing too - he did Bombtrack at Reading last year (I think it was Bombtrack). Their bass player is quite good too - Re-Arranged has a nice bass riff (that one springs to mind). Drums - OK, but nothing major. DJ Lethal - I dunno - I think his stuff fits in nicly, but it's not really a type of music I know too much about so I can't make too much comment.
All the best!

Death to false metal, how that s hite (bar RATM's first album, that had feeling and talent) ever got classed as "metal" is beyond me.
But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...

In response to Klay's post:
1) A lot of my favourite bands scream in their songs. Fred Durst, however, does not. He whines - he's like a frigging banshee. As for your examples, all I can say is:
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeearaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanged.
2) So, pray tell, why are 80% of Limp Bizkit's fans 10 year olds?
3) Actually, I wasn't referring to their idiocy (but thanks for highlighting it). Its not what they say, its the way they say it, so to speak.
4) Come off it, they all have dodgy facial hair. Goatees, sideburns, the lot.
5) Nu metal is generally hit and miss, depending on at what end of the nu-metal spectrum it is on.. I like RATM, Deftones and some korn and limp bizkit stuff. Most of Three Dollar Bill is good, and way different to their current stuff.
6) Intro to counterfiet is good, as is break stuff's intro. Nookie's isn't bad either. But re-arranged and my way? are you quite mad?
Tip: Buy some Led Zeppelin cds. Listen to them.
7) Limp Bizkit certainly did not invent hip-hop/metal and its insulting to bands like Antrhax, RATM etc who've been doing it long before Limp Bizkit were on the scene. Limp Bizkit made it popular. They certainly did not pioneer it.
In a way Angelwhore is correct, stuff like Walk This Way is what Fred Durst and co. grew up with and probably took alot of inspiration from.
Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

Finally it has come , the cataclysmic battle between the ethreal ying and yang of the universe, Nu Metal versus Good music , young versus old , good versus evil
However I digress
While I abhore all this new Limp Bizkit/Linkin Park *The worst of them all in my opinion* You have to admit it shows some primoreal atom of musical taste , I mean just a year or two ago there was a nasty period , when our youth clung to the commercialised drivel that is *the majority not the whole * of R&B , Like some sort of Cold blooded amphibian rising though the ranks of the evolutionary scale , but If they cant see beyond this murky horizon to some frickin good music ,they might aswell go back to theyre Britney spears albums or whatever, And most of em wont be able to see beyond that shiny red cap of fred dursts ,Enthralled by the siren call of "Cool" or what our youngins percieve that to be.But a few just might go on to appreciate good music when they hear it
Oh and Kalis right Aerosmith are right up theyre with Johnny Bon Jovi for Pussy rock

I have plenty of friends (All aged 17-19) who like Limp Bizkit, and don't believe in the whole pop system of buying an album because its advertised everywhere and get sick of it in a few months time. Whoever bought the album, got it cuz they liked the songs..
Your worse than the media, blaming bands for little kiddies mutilating themselves...If a kid would do that, theyd have to be pretty disturbed beforehand. I dont think that type of music turns chilers into suicidal maniacs...especially Linkin Park...they dont even swear.
/me is currently listening to Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love... on cd.
I just said Bizkit had some good riffs..didn't compare them to Zeppelin or anything. Jimmy P. 0wnz all j00r azz!
Whats makes me mad is the way people automatically assume something is crap because it is popular, without even really listening to them.

So cutting yourself has become the fashion as of late
, that I did'nt know, how f ucking sad can you get. If people have serious problems that kind of action can be justified by mental trauma, but just doing it for fun (not that I would regard cutting myself fun, only on weekends, when I'm known as "Jimmy the s&m b itch", ahem) and out of stupidity is quite pathetic.
I guess the message is don't mess with nu-metal fans cause there f ucking hard, they'll stick one in ye and wont even think twice about it, cause there ssssoooooo f ucked up from the whole world being against their 13 year old stupid self's :P. Now that's sarcasim.
But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...0 -
