…Fred Durst
Limp Bizkit…they name says it all. Fred Durst may only be 5’3’’ but that doesn’t stop his ego from growing…it may even need its own zip code. As if boy bands weren’t bad enough, here is a band who pops out cookie-cutter “nu metal” songs faster then you can say Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. In a sense Limp is the rock equivalent to NSYNC. The only difference is that the Limp sing “angry” songs instead of love ballads. Yet it’s all the same. It seems that Limp Bizkit have been rewriting their same hit songs over and over while failing to produce anything new and original.
Fred Durst and his
band were an accident waiting to happen. Sooner or later, the music industry
was going to find out that marketing a pop-metal band would prove just a
lucrative to young boys as the boy-bands were to girls. Now if we could only
get Durst to burn that damn red hat!
In a last-pitch effort
to receive more publicity (after searching endlessly for a guitarist to replace
Wes) Limp Bizkit announced that they officially have changed their name to “limpbizkit,”
lower-case, on word. That’s showing them. Perhaps next time the band should try
writing music that is worth more than its weight in shit.
