Yeah but how do you even know what's worst if you hate on all of it?

"Gold Cobra" is about equal with "My Generation" I guess

some dude, Sunday, 9 March 2014 00:24 (eleven years ago)

bunch of album tracks on Chocolate Starfish, in addition to the lol value from Durst's lyrics, have real solid grooves on the verses. was surprised after I wrote group off for the longest time as crappy notrealmusic I only liked cuz it was "cool" in middle school

I was 15 when Rollin came out and everyone I knew agreed that LB had bceome teenbopper bull$#!t., and that Fred had turned into a clown. We would've all laughed in the face of anyone who suggested it was better than Break Stuff.

I know it's a boring choice (what with it being the critical favorite: http://robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/pjres99.php) but going with "Nookie". Lotta contenders for the silver medal, though.

I have a confession to make... once I realized what "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" meant I couldn't listen to the album anymore. I didn't realize the meaning was so GROSS. LOL. Sorry... I know this makes me seem weird...

It's all about the he said she said POLLshit - Limp Bizkit Singles

would have been kinda interested in a version with "gold cobra" i guess, that song isn't exactly good but it's soooo much better than any of their other post-heyday singles. That one from last year with Lil Wayne was just O_o, "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" notwithstanding.

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 9 March 2014 03:03 (eleven years ago)

my local hard rock station STILL plays the Bizkit version of "Behind Blue Eyes" semi-regularly. recently i heard someone call in and request the song, and the DJ asked "The Who's version?" because they probably get just as many calls for the LB one.

some dude, Sunday, 9 March 2014 19:02 (eleven years ago)

would love to know what led to them adding a "discover l-i-m-p, say it" speak'n'spell break on that track

da croupier, Sunday, 9 March 2014 19:10 (eleven years ago)

probably the disinterest or inability to perform the "if I swallow anything evil" bridge from the original song

some dude, Sunday, 9 March 2014 19:12 (eleven years ago)

I guess Stuck wasn't a single? Always been my favorite LB song. Out of this...? Probably either Rearranged or N 2 Gether Now

Reality, that incessant contrarian (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 9 March 2014 19:13 (eleven years ago)

y'know, i don't think i've ever actually heard the who studio version (first time i heard the song at all was flipping by their WTC memorial concert on TV) so it was a leap of faith (no pun intended!) that the who hadn't asked us to discover l-i-m-p as well

da croupier, Sunday, 9 March 2014 19:15 (eleven years ago)

Behind Blue Eyes was a travesty. They should only cover songs by former members of Wham!

"check it out!"

"you guys are, like, flying"

"did we just drown in the milk?"

"I don't think so, I can still breathe and talk"

i didn't think it was possible to grow up a rock fan in late 20th century America without knowing the more popular half of Who's Next by heart. if you lived in the suburbs you were issued it, it came in the mail with samples of Tide.

Karl Malone, Sunday, 9 March 2014 20:37 (eleven years ago)

The only non-covers I remember from this list are "Nookie", "Rollin'", and "Break Stuff". I listened to them today. Imo, the latter two are just embarrassing but "Nookie" actually sounds convincingly cold and desperate now.

The whole Dad Vibes thing made me think, aw, maybe Durst has some little shorties running around these days in his mellow years, but his kids are like 20 and 31

licorice in the front, pizza in the rear (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 1 October 2021 18:15 (four years ago)

On October 6, 2018, Shaggy 2 Dope from hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse attempted to dropkick Durst during a performance of the song "Faith". DJ Lethal from Limp Bizkit responded on Instagram Live calling Shaggy a "clout chaser".[63]

licorice in the front, pizza in the rear (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 1 October 2021 18:19 (four years ago)

xp maybe he's got more than that! a buddy of mine went to school with a girl whose Dad was Darius Rucker, born 9 months after Hootie played a show in Madison. apparently every time that Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch commercial came on TV her roommates would all shout "look! your dad's on TV!!"

frogbs, Friday, 1 October 2021 18:23 (four years ago)

while Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton paraphrased the quote attributed to Götz von Berlichingen, Er kann mich am Arsch lecken – "He can lick my ass", when asked by a German reporter about Durst's interest in releasing his music through Interscope Records.[139]

haha .. basically my reaction when i watched it last night.

mark e, Friday, 1 October 2021 18:33 (four years ago)

I kind of empathize for Durst. Dude seems like an earnest dorkus who just wants to bang models and play caveman riffs and listen to the Smiths but turned himself into music's whipping boy, perhaps as a defense mechanism, perhaps because he's not clever enough to turn himself into a 50 Cent-style heel, perhaps because he's not confident/rich enough to be an ICP-style "we're gonna do our thing regardless." He's worked with Pauly Shore and Corey Feldman and John Travolta, all of whom kind of have the same vibe of like fairly talented guys who clearly love their medium but don't really have the same artistic insight that drives their peers

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 1 November 2021 17:01 (four years ago)

for years they were supposed to come out with an album about a Giant Disco Elephant Stampede or something. I'm guessing this is not that

DT, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 06:28 (four years ago)

i think this album is what some of that material might have eventually turned into

ufo, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 06:31 (four years ago)

I had never heard "N 2 Gether Now" until DJ Premier did a video about it a couple of weeks ago and it would have earned my vote.

papal hotwife (milo z), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 07:16 (four years ago)

“N 2 Gether Now” is the closest thing to cred this album has.

I’m also partial to the bassline in “rearrenged”, that’s a good one.

Fred Durst is awful throughout though

✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 16:28 (four years ago)

my teen friends and i were pretty up on "N 2 Gether Now," but mostly for the beat, Method Man, and the squiggley censoring effect for the chorus on MTV.

I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 17:25 (four years ago)

Today I learned that MTV aired a feature length making-of "Results May Vary." I've never seen it and never will, but I bet one of you lunatics will want to see it, discounting those that no doubt already have seen it and love it and think it is better than "Let It Be."

waste of compute (One Eye Open), Friday, 16 May 2025 19:03 (eight months ago)

josh is this revive relating to the recent todd in the shadows video on results may vary?

i remember seeing that mtv doc in pieces because i really liked that series it was a part of ("album launch"). the blink-182 episode was kind of redemptive for me, and while i never became a proper fan, that one painted the band in a pretty enthusiastic way. definitely left a good impression on me.

the limp bizkit episode was a slog. and again: i watched it in pieces, never seen it from start to finish... you know how mtv replayed everything ad nauseum. the recent todd in the shadows "trainwreckords" episode on the album really digs into the doldrum-y vibe that a lot of 2000s pop music had (and still does for me), and todd definitely nails it from a retrospective pov, but i don't think anything will ever come close to conveying how completely justified the hatered of that band,and specifically fred durst, was. good lord, the album WAS awful but have you tried to watch even 10 minutes of that mtv bullschitt!!??!!?

Constance Mischievous (Austin), Friday, 16 May 2025 19:07 (eight months ago)

josh is this revive relating to the recent todd in the shadows video on results may vary?

Absolutely! As soon as he mentioned it I googled it and thought I would share the wealth.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 May 2025 19:10 (eight months ago)

Todd really does get to the heart of it, too. All these assholes, they're bullies while playing the bullied. Except that they're sort of being bullied (by the haters) for being bullies! It's like they took all the wrong lessons from the alt-rock explosion - be loud! be aggressive! - but not the other lesson of being vulnerable or smart or subversive or, like, an alternative to aggro backwards baseball cap shit like this. At least Slipknot had the good instinct to hide behind masks and know how to play (I think?). All these losers, it's like they looked at metal bands and thought, nah, too hard, I'll just get an extra string or two on my bass, tune way the fuck down, and yell a lot, that'll do it.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 May 2025 19:24 (eight months ago)

i recently listened to the whole limp bizkit discog mostly bc i was fascinated by what results may vary would actually be like. very tortured process of getting that record out, and unfortunately they scrapped the really good first sessions (which float around the internet on various bootlegs... the only problem with these songs is several of them are SO misogynystic bleh) and ultimately recorded a way more boring album. still, only lb record that flirts with failure-esque space rock, however briefly

it's also fine to not understand this band, they're unbelievably stupid, but i love the music largely because it's unbelievably stupid. i don't watch youtube critics

ivy., Friday, 16 May 2025 20:02 (eight months ago)

so many of these guys i can just never un-hear the stuff they said about gay people when they were on top of the world. they can go vegan and grow out their beards and say sensible stuff about climate change or gun violence or whatever, but fuck them forever imo

waste of compute (One Eye Open), Friday, 16 May 2025 20:38 (eight months ago)

be loud! be aggressive! - but not the other lesson of being vulnerable

ftr there are a number of limp bizkit songs that qualify as vulnerable, shallow as they may be. also i think "bullies playing the bullied" mistakes fred for the band. idk wes borland is obviously a freak

kind of enjoying this doc honestly. frontman struggles with lack of talent after his incredibly talented guitarist's departure. good stuff

ivy., Friday, 16 May 2025 21:37 (eight months ago)

Is Fred vulnerable, or whiny based on how people treat him, in turn based on how he behaves and what he says and does?

I don't know what to make of Wes. His apparent "weirdness" always made him seem to me like a wannabe John Frusciante, down to his off and on relationship to his meal ticket.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 May 2025 21:49 (eight months ago)

Im legit excited to watch it, not as a hater (ok not just) but theres always something fascinating about in-depth docs about the making of flawed/failed albums, i could watch them endlessly. Ime films about the making of good/successful albums are never as interesting.

waste of compute (One Eye Open), Friday, 16 May 2025 21:56 (eight months ago)

I think the Todd guy brings that up, how often making-of docs are about disappointing or bad albums.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 May 2025 22:19 (eight months ago)

limp bizkit's greatest hitz is a lot of fun until the results may vary stuff comes on - or maybe the final single from chocolate starfish - at which point not even i can mine anything.

you can see me from westbury white horse, Friday, 16 May 2025 22:27 (eight months ago)

I rewatched Some Kind of Monster recently and aside from enjoying the obvious Spinal Tap qualities, it really does capture some deep stuff about creativity, inspiration, talent, the nature of being in a band, etc, on a level that I cant imagine in a doc about a bunch of effortlessly talented musicians painlessly collaborating to record classic songs in the first take every time.

I saw them downbill at Ozzfest in '98, the giant toilet days. I recall them being shitty.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 18 May 2025 18:34 (eight months ago)

I think I saw them again, but for the life of me I can't remember which of the many similar package tours it was. Family Values, Anger Management, something with Slipknot and System of a Down, I think ... did they ever do a headlining arena tour in the '90s, or were they always coasting on, like, Korn vapors?
