DURST VS STAPP

is this their sex tapes or

Durst because a) he can be ironically appreciated at least b) he was at least amusing when he was being dense or stupid (see: promoting a rape riot at Woodstock - hell, almost everything he did c) wait, didn't he direct a science fiction music video where he makes out with Halle Berry or something? I'd like to see the story pitch for that video where he throws all these random Phillip K Dick retreads against the wall and then "oh yeah, Mr. Producer, there's gonna be a scene in the vid where I kiss and grope Halle Berry. Whatever. That's what the video will be. I suffered for my art, now it's your turn, America. I'm Fred Durst, yeah"

x-post Sex Tape was Stapp and Kid Rock.

On second thought, this thread should really be a royal rumble Eminem v. Stapp v. Durst. Kid Rock v. That guy from K0rn poll.

would rather listen to the durst

Durst got Kenna a record deal. Stapp hasn't done anything.

x-post Sex Tape was Stapp and Kid Rock.

I assure you, neither Stapp nor Ritchie were in Durst's sex tape

I think the story about Stapp banning the rest of Creed from listening to music on the bus, on the grounds that it was supposed to be a job and not fun, made me laugh more than anything Durst ever did

Wikipedia says there was a Stapp/Rock sex vid with a groupie. But I dunno, I get the celebrity sex tapes all confused.

x-post where can we hear more Stapp stories? Ned, I'm looking at you. Tell me there's a site. Oh please.

But then no one would vote for Stapp or Durst!!

eminem??

where can we hear more Stapp stories? Ned, I'm looking at you.

Yeesh, why me?

first things first
the chocolate starfish is my man fred durst

this was rapped in the third person

he was at least amusing when he was being dense or stupid (see: promoting a rape riot at Woodstock - hell, almost everything he did)

o_O lol yeah comedy gold O_o

I have to say Creed's shit is hella fun to sing at karaoke. Wld rather hear anyone do Creed at karaoke than Limp Bizkit, any night.

i'm totally unexperienced but something tells me "rollin" could be killer if you got the right guy

I cld see that.

Also in the sake of fairness I must admit not too many others like it when I bust out "My Own Prison."

poor mr abbott

Yeesh, why me?

I remember you posted some great Stappenfreude links in the other Creed thread.

Might as well have that as an epitaph.

ftr this is killing me

DEDICATED TO YOU BEN STILLER
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE MUTHAFUCKAAA

PAY ME NO MIND
I SEEN THE FIGHT CLUB ABOUT 28 TIMES!

i always wanted creed to do a cover of cher's "believe"

i choose creed for more comedy, cf. the ridiculous halftime show they unleashed during a thanksgiving day game between the cowboys and broncos back in '03 or '04.

which one is the GOP again?

The spoken word portion of "The Priest":

I have a kid
should I send him to sunday school
SO YOU CAN FUCK HIM???

ok i was all "O RLY?" to the idea that creed had more comedy than bizkit but omg this thanksgiving half-time show is pretty mind blowing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrZ3A06Wkdc

it's really the shirtless male gymnasts that do the trick

holy lolz

The spoken word portion of "The Priest"

omg @ this

holy shit, it's like listening to bizarro Glenn Beck

also the male choir, the ballet dancers, the jazz dancers, the dallas cowboys cheerleaders, the children, the...damn. what a mess. who is that singing with him?

lol @ 3:15 imo

lol you made it to 3:15!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy58SaIRhs

you just have to keep going...by the end i think the us synchronized swimming team and gwb's cabinet were out there.

are those ninjas in the creed halftime show running around with parade bunting??

wow.

i love how it's like "man should we get a children's choir or a gospel choir? FUCK IT, let's get BOTH"

I think "durst" would be a better comic book fart noise sound effect than "stapp" but it's pretty close.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_eN9Mbj-OI

let's just not forget who stood shirtless in heaven rocking a kurt cobain/elvis presley tattoo over his heart before making out with halle berry to the sound of a speak'n'spell.

total violation of code of ethics imo

holy crap! i thought you guys were making that stuff up!

Woah that half-time thing is incredible. Wow.

tho tbh i actually like limp bizkits version of behind blue eyes

holy crap! i thought you guys were making that stuff up!

Rule of thumb: if da croupier sez Durst has done something, he definitely has.

serendipitously, i put Chocolate Starfish in my glovebox for driving music the other day

pretty fun album imo

Thread needs more Stephen Thomas Erlewine bad reviews. This one in particular is a classic, though all his LB album reviews are worth the read.

It took a long, long time for Limp Bizkit to get their follow-up to Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water into the stores. First, guitarist Wes Borland, generally regarded as the band's musical force, up and left the band, and it took a long, long time to find a replacement guitarist. After a national talent search performed at Guitar Center stores, where candidates had to sign contracts that gave up their rights to anything original they played at their audition, Limp Bizkit settled on former Snot guitarist Mike Smith and recorded an album. Then scrapped it. Then they recorded another album. Then scrapped it. They were going through album titles, too -- it was called Bipolar then, charmingly, Panty Sniffer. Finally, all the sessions and the turmoil was whittled down into one very long, very bad album called Results May Vary. Part of its weakness stems from two perennial Limp Bizkit problems: for a metal band they sound, well, limp, and in Fred Durst they have the worst frontman in the history of rock. These two things plagued even their hits, but Borland at least gave the band some ideas. Without him, the band is left to flounder, and Durst, who already dominated the band's personality, not only has to provide the bravado, but he has to give it direction -- which is likely why it took so long for this mess to get released. Durst doesn't come up with any new musical ideas, apart from slight hints of Staind and emo on the ballads, but the album doesn't suffer from recycled musical ideas, since they were already doing that on Chocolate Starfish. No, it suffers from an utter lack of form and direction, from the riffs to the rhythms, and a surplus of stolen ideas. "The Only One" cops the opening of Steve Miller's "Take the Money and Run," "Gimme the Mic" plagiarizes the Beastie Boys' "Pass the Mic" down to rhyming "y'all" with "y'all" (but Durst adds a whole lotta "motherf*ckers"), while "Phenomenon" borrows from several rap songs, highlighted by Durst getting lyrics wrong. And this points out the biggest problem of Results May Vary -- Durst is running amuck, flattening down the production into a grey sludge, then writing inane lyrics that are shocking in their banality.

Since Durst has ingratiated himself with Hollywood, inexplicably getting Thora Birch to concede to being berated to in the video for "Eat You Alive" and French kissing Halle Berry in the video for "Behind Blue Eyes," maybe he's not such a bad guy in person, but on record he's a mean, vindictive, hateful idiot, spewing undirected bile at undeserving targets. Here, a prominent target seems to be Britney Spears, who unceremoniously dumped the dude after an affair that lasted less than a week, since she wasn't all that thrilled that he revealed her pubic hair grooming on the Howard Stern show (what a guy!). Now, he's hurt and ranting about how she broke his heart, unaware of his own culpability in the affair. But that's par for the course for Durst, who stumbles through life without realizing the consequences of his actions, then whines about how nobody understands him. Here, he complains about being picked on in high school, not realizing that his blustering aggression makes him a bully (and that's not even accounting for how he unwittingly incited violence and destruction at Woodstock '99). Then, he complains several times about radio and MTV playing the same old bands, willfully ignoring that he's whored himself out to MTV numerous times and that his band received their radio breakthrough by paying to get their songs played. He invokes icons callously -- "ease your pain/like a melody from Kurt Cobain" -- most notably on a boneheaded cover of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes," turning it into a Staind song with a Speak & Spell on the bridge ("B-I-Z-K-I-T. Say it") and adding insult to injury by misspelling Pete Townshend's name in the credits. And this isn't even counting the embarrassing Apple plug in the liner notes, or the Fight Club reference in the artwork, the obviousness of which suggests that Durst would be one of the brainwashed legions chanting "his name is Robert Paulson" instead of thinking for himself. Like before, some of this could have been palatable if the music had a fraction of his anger (no matter how misguided it is) or had some energy to it instead of just being murky emoting. But since the music has no melody, hooks, or energy, all attention is focused on the clown jumping up and down and screaming in front, and long before the record is over, you're left wondering, how the hell did he ever get to put this mess out?

Hmmmmm: "I see priests molesting children/I see terrorists blowing up buildings/I see someone in rage killing Dimebag on-stage."

o fuck this sounds a lot like jesus lizard

the track as a whole is a pretty blatant deftones rip

Durst, just for having Snoop in the "Break Stuff" video.

Much love to all of you, I had no idea how hilarious Creed were until this and the other thread came up. The video for 'Bullets' needs to be in this thread to, holy fucking shit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtCHFLMRX78

The Wikipedia entry:

"The video depicts the typical Creed stamp of Salvador Dalí-esque surrealism, showing a computer generated, brown winged/native American angel version of Stapp battle off with demons. These include a giant mecha spider and a white haired, red eyed swordsman. The other warrior members of the band are summoned (a brown caped, bare chested Mark Tremonti wielding two huge axes and a lightly armored Scott Phillips using two longswords)..."

"this thread, too," Christ.

sweet boss battle

this thread <3

Hahah unperson on Twitter:

Creed on Live w/Regis just now - Stapp's vocals so off I thought it was a live remix by "...Shreds" videomaker. Check for it on YouTube.

Evidence!

okay so I know that a lot of things get fixed in the studio and all but DO NOT RECORD SONGS WHERE YOU CANNOT HIT THE TOP NOTE

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Haha I really want to know the reasons from the 4 who voted Stapp.

nfl halftime show!

IMPORTANT WORK HERE

nfl halftime show!

Yeah, will always grant you that.

lol I think I voted Stapp too, half impulse vote due to awesomeness of halftime show and half contrarian/pity vote knowing that Durst was going to destroy this.

I was hoping the votes would be more for who brings more LOLz rather than who is "better.." whatever thats supposed to mean for this case..

Check out Creed in concert like you have never seen them before. In select cities, the band will be performing My Own Prison the first night and Human Clay in the second (both albums played in their entirety). Creed will also be playing select songs from the Weathered and Full Circle albums.

Okay stop

seeing their name on the Chicago Theatre billboard was a little jarring

i've already mentioned elsewhere on ilx that i'm going to one of those shows

like, i already have the tickets

and i'm not kidding

this brings tears to my eyes

I'm about to bring tears to markers' eyes.

;_;

There. Job done.
