Dumps on UK Fans but still does USA tour as its a lot of money and doesnt want to upset their 'customers' i mean fans as they wont buy their new 'product' if they cancel tour.
Honestly Fred Durst really sickens me now. What a sellout.
(I know Fred isnt popular on ILM but imagine bands you like did this. Then you know how i feel. I've forked out money for a festival and arranged to travel for this to then happen)

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

What a sellout.
does not compute, don't you have to have some scruples in the first place to become a sellout?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck, the scariest thing about that story is the ugly ass cover shot of the Music loser to the left side.

"Honestly Fred Durst really sickens me now."

You're just now realizing this?

― Charles McCain (Charles McCain), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

What? They're only in it for the money?

Dammit! Another illusion all shot to hell! Thanks, guys...

the nme.com gets worse with their rubbish irrelevant news articles.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Its relevant to me. Its just informed me that ive wasted a lot of money.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm surprised nobody's noticed the LATEST title Senor Redcap has given his new album.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

what is it?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

also, what does "W******" mean? I though it meant "W*****" or maybe even "W***" but clearly there are too many *s for either of those?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Why are limp bizkit fans surprised that freds only in it for money? he cant sellout as he sold out long ago. Havent you seen his demo video? Fred Durst Demo Tape 1989
Stop listening to crap like Limp Bizkit and listen to good rock or metal like Queens Of The Stone Age, In Flames, Converge , Katatonia, deftones,Opeth, The Gathering. All vastly superior to Limp Bizkit/Linkin Park pap.

― Jim Beam, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

it's in the article, MANN (it's your name!), but the latest moniker for the next Bizkit of Limpness is...Panty Sniffer.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

How seriously can you take someone who ends all interviews/press blurbs with "I love you and kiss my ass!" really?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Subthread: who's uglier, Fred Durst or Robert Harvey?

― Nick H, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Fred may be a sellout wanker only in it for the money, but LimpBizkit (hopefully) still make brilliant music and thats why me(and so many others) were going to Download Festival to see them.
Why do so many bands shit on UK/European Fans? LB are still playing the Metallica/Linkin park USA tour where its far longer and if the album needs to be completed surely they need this time? a few days to come to the UK is not going to effect the album being finished. A few months on the SS tour will.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

DOES NOTCOMPUTE. DOES NOTCOMPUTE.

Bzzzzzt.

*crackles*

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Dont know of most of those bands but Queens Of The Stone Age are rubbish. They are only getting big now because they got someone from Nirvana to play on the album and appear in the video. Now thats selling out on a Metallica/Fred Durst level too! Deftones new song sucks, as did the last album.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe....and stay with me now, `cos this might get a bit complicated for you.....just maybe, they asked him to play on the album because he's a huge fan of the band, and he's a great drummer!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

grohl's a shitty drummer!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Panty Sniffer, huh?
I think it's so sad. Sad sad sad.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

That's your opinion, Yance. My point was that QotSA didn't just rope in Grohl to "sell out."

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Panty Sniffer

Is he sniffing his own to see if he can get another days wear out of them?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Grohl's a better drummer than whatever that other thing he does is called, you know, the thing he does where plays Doughboys songs.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

beep boop...beep boop...nookie...beep boop.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Foo Fighters are far better than QOTSA. So glad Grohl stayed with them. Far better album than 'Songs For The Deaf'.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

"Songs For The Deaf" wasn't their breakthrough, at least not in the UK, Filip, that was "Rated R" which got shitloads of acclaim and has not trace of Grohl on it.

― Nick H, Monday, 12 May 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't think queens tried to "sell out" (whatever the fuck that means) either. and i think yr play-by-play of how the hook-up happened is OTM. i just disagree with grohl's skin prowess. he's got no swing!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, well, he dresses like a girl better than most drummers do.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

fair point regarding the UK but Songs For the Deaf infiltrated MTV more because of that video with Dave Grohl,and thats certainly true of America. Most people in general hadnt heard of them until Songs For The Deaf.
Is Rated R better then?

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

the foos drummer = much hotter grrl than dave!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

What a waste of one of the most magically twee-yet-erotic words in the English language this album title is. First they ruin rap-rock, now they ruin the word 'panty'. FOR SHAME FRED DURST.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

There's so much hate-orade guzzlers in here, I just can't stand it. Filip, I feel for you even though I use Limp Bizkit as a punchline in 80% of my jokes.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Yancey OTM!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Too many jokes....brain initiating emergency shutdown....must not look at unintentionally funny thread....must not....

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Grohl is not a shitty drummer! Lots of great drummers have no "swing". Who cares? He's a shitty frontman, for sure.

― Kris (aqueduct), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, guys, I'm not saying that the guy who drums for the Foo Fighers doesn't make a beautiful lady, I'm not dissing him. I said "most". For example, I think Dave Grohl makes a better girl than anyone in Limp Bizkit would.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Im used to it. But no ones made me feel unwelcome. As i see it this is a music board for any kind of music. And whilst i do think its unfair to criticise the music or other guys in the band, Fred is a asshole. Everything that makes people hate LimpBizkit is Fred. And fred brings it all on himself. Now even some LB fans dislike him because of what he does to the band. Be in no doubt it was his decision to cancel download festival appearance/shows in europe and not the bands. I just saw that demo video that was mentioned earlier and as much as I love LB i despise fred even more. I just hope the music doesnt suffer since Wes left. A festival appearance could've shown us what to expect from the new guy. Help him fit in. Wes was a big part of the band and now its just fred it seems. That worries me.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

If you visit the LimpBizkit message board http://www.limpbizkit.com/bboard/forum/
You will find many of the hardcore fans hate fred. Its not the 1st time hes dumped on the UK.(pardon the expression lol) And it sure wont be the last. His erratic messages on the site are getting to many. Hes just a wannabe popstar. He'd have duetted with Britney if it had brought him more money and fame. Its because of him being an asshole that LB gets such a slagging. Its his media presence that gets the band to sell albums, but it has nothing to do with the music. And thats all that should matter. But now Wes couldnt put up with Fred and now the albums been put back again, i fear for the future. All you LB haterz are gonna enjoy what happens.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

And whilst i do think its unfair to criticise the music

It's not unfair at all to criticize the music.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Heres one (of the many) anti Fred posts on the board after todays announcement. In response to a post about Emailing Kerrang letters page to complain/ (do any Kerrang writers post here?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
done done and done!! fred you've gone too far this time!! you've sold all ur fans out big style.

He's only rewriting the album cos the first was shit, and it was rejected by the record company.

he's probably been trying to rhyme ladies with mercedes!

how about i rhyme prick with fred durst!!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People have come to the realization that not only do LB suck, they are unreliable and screw their fans over. However, this is the worst they have done and if I had stayed a fan, this would be the final straw for me.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

All you LB haterz are gonna enjoy what happens.

No future tense about it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

All you LB haterz are gonna enjoy what happens.

Only if the remaining members of the band kill each other in a ritualized suicide/homicide pact will I enjoy it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey as long as its fred , then wes can come back. Things wont be so corporate then. Freds the thug,freds the asshole,freds the reason people hate LB.
Limp Bizkit would be better without him. But then the media wouldnt have someone so quotable to write about.

― Filip, Monday, 12 May 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

freds the reason people hate LB.

Oh, Filip, please be real. No one cares about the other meat-necked mooks in Limp Bizkit. Fred Durst is Limp Bizkit. Without him, they'd just be another shitty band, albeit one with a potentially less irritating front man. It's all crap. Do yourself a grand favor and forget them.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I think if you changed the word "potentially" to "guaranteed", that post would be spot on.

Fred Durst is really the most obnoxious human being on the planet, there's no going about that.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex tries though.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

He's not even remotely obnoxious, if he's going for obnoxious then he really needs to try harder.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

if beavis and butthead were still going, would they be fans of Limp Bizkit or laugh at them, [remember that stuart? dude into winger/warrant]

I reckon they would say Limp Bizkit sucks, and then air guitar to an ac/dc video.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh...Limp...Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(Yanc3y, is Grohl really a shitty drummer? I thought he was a good drummer, but I know little about this kinda thing.)

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 12 May 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

far more interesting than limp bizkit,
how old would beavis and butthead by these days?
when the show started how old were they? around 15?
what year was that?
and speculate what would they like now? foo fighters? defones? tool?

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Bolton.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Grohl's not really a shitty drummer, no (I'm a shitty drummer!), but his playing never added that much to Nirvana. Yeah, he could play fast and was pretty precise, but there wasn't much personality that I could hear...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Beavis and Butthead are currently listening to super great black-metal their Finnish fans have sent to them.

― Catherine (Catherine), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

but his playing never added that much to Nirvana.

Why are you blaming Dave for that? Perhaps his parts were dictated to him by Kommander Kurt.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

TS: Taylor Hawkins or Dave Grohl

― Red, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, he could play fast and was pretty precise, but there wasn't much personality that I could hear...

Oh? I can recognize Grohl's drumming almost anywhere. I can only think of a few others as distinctive (good or not) as Grohl.

― Paul Cox (paul cox), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought he was a great Liebezeit style (not as interesting, tho) drum machine type drumming machine, really hard precise style, which is anyway what he's being hassled for. The mostly pro-Foo Fighters verdict on that other thread makes me wonder about lots of things.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:35 (twenty-two years ago)

The funniest thing Limp Bizkit ever did was Counterfeit on the debut, a diatribe against trends and fakes. Oh, the irony...

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Beavis And Butthead (who'd be almost 30 now, right?) would probably say "I could do that," "I feel this way when the clerk puts the change on the counter even though I'm holding my hand out" and "we should start a rap-metal group and get some nookie" to the screen a lot during Limp Bizkit videos.

Limp Bizkit are posers and they look like idiots. Therefore, are they PRETENDING to be idiots?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave Grohl added a lot to Nirvana because of his drum machine style drumming, I always thought of this as something which makes them more danceable

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish someone would sell me this mythical drum machine that sounds like Dave Grohl. I could really use one.
