The red NY Yankee hat worn by Fred Durst in the video became the hottest item on the Market. Stores could not keep that hat in stock. Worldwide it was almost impossible to find that hat for 6-12 months after this video came out.
So true. But I was doing it before Fred. The dickies a size two big, xtra big T shirts, Addidas Superstars, and a STL Cards hat. Hell, even now I still rock some Dickies and the Superstars in my 40's.
Guitarist Wes Borland got those contacts from the same company that made the contacts for Sci-fi tv series Babylon 5. He's a massive fan of science fiction. He, also being, a perpetual artist of all sorts of media, created several characters that he would become and rotate for each show. So when you turn up for their gig it's fun to see how he'll come out looking.
Being from Jacksonville, FL Limp Bizkit was formed here just like Lynyrd Skynyrd and many other famous rock bands. In the early 90's I was a regular at the Milk Bar downtown and Einstein's at Jax Beach and at that time LB was an up coming fairly well known band in town and they played at both places almost every weekend. Many folks were fascinated with their sound, a DJ with metal guitar riffs. In those dive bars, they were playing for about 50 to 100 people. The mosh pit was still "in" at those places and LB really fed off of our energy. It wasn't unusual to find Fred sitting at the bar between sets chatting it up with others. When I saw and heard their name on MTV TRL I jumped up off my couch. It was great to see them make it big. All their songs were catchy and high energy. Ah the good old days.
Took my 13 year old Daughter to her first concert in Toronto in 2003. Summer Sanitorium with Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Linkin Park, Mudvayne and the Deftones. Awesome show!
I was 22 at the time and saw it in Atlanta. Still one of my favorite memories is getting my nose busted in the pit during the Metallica set and having to crowd surf to the barricades at the front of the stage (because security told me I had to get out and clean my face...understandable). When I got over the barricades, I looked up at James Hetfield with my face covered in blood, and we locked eyes as he gave me the metal horns...fuck yea.
I remember Fred walking around in the aisles during the show at the LA Coliseum. People were booing and spitting on him, so people had had it with his schtick by then. That led up to the point where everyone really did leave him alone. 20+ years later it’s hard to remember exactly why everyone turned on him so quickly, but it was really sudden. He must have done something really heinous, or maybe it was some kind of collective premonition of what a red hat would mean in the future. Finding out how he has been screwed by the record company certainly increases the sympathy for him and the band.
Fred got lots of hate back in the day. Everyone wrote them off, But he stayed in his lane, never changed. Kept Limp Bizkit out there and still to this day kills it live! No matter how much you downplay their music you can’t help but bounce to their beat and jam to Wes shredding.
I saw them in concert during their peak years several times. All that hate was literal bs. Every single person that talked bad about Durst was screaming and jumping around like madmen at their concerts. Their concerts were badfnass.
I'll be turning 40 in a couple days (bit too old to be doing for the nookie anymore), and I started playing music around the time Limp Bizkit started blowing up. It's kinda funny seeing people look back on them for the first time as sort of a relic. People who weren't around back then might not realize how absurdly MASSIVE this band was at the time. They were absolutely everywhere. They're not my favorite band, but I have to admit that no one can match their stage presence/energy. Also, they really took off because of their cover of George Michael's "Faith." Les Claypool appears briefly in the video, as they kinda ran in the same circles.
Everyone wants to pretend like Fred Durst wasn't dropping legit bars back then, just because they gotta be one of the "cool kids", tryina act like they weren't cranking Nu Metal back in the day too. Also, Wes Borland, the guitarist has a way of coming out in his own style.
Fred Durst's lyrics were definitely not masterful, intelligent or even anything but cringe. The (simple) music rocks though, and it doesn't even matter what semi-r-word lyrics he's spitting because it's all about the energy, not the content of the lyrics.
Oh I absolutely lived on 'nu metal', but I could NEVER stand Limp Bizkit. About the only song of Durst's that I could stand was his cover of 'Behind Blue Eyes' which was surprisingly melodic. But whatever this rap / rock stuff is? Nah. Same reason I wouldn't listen to Kid Rock.
Durst caught the vibe. He may not be some intellectual lyricist but he knew what people wanted to hear and gave it to them. He took the hip hop integration that RATM/RHCP created and made it even more gritty! Like a mix of Korn/Rage. And yes Fred, every dude that's lived can relate to giving it ALL up for the "Nookie."
As someone who is most likely squarely in the demographic you are talking about, just a few clarifying points. 1. Yes, I was blasting Nu Metal back in the day. Mostly POD and Coal Chamber. 2. I loved LB's Three Dolla Billz, Ya'll album. It wasn't until probably after their Ozzfest tour before Significant Other came out that I started to sour on them, cause Fred started drinking his own kool-aid and believing his own hype. Also you could hear in the music the division that was going on in the band. 3. Wes Borland was an amazing guitarist, and LB still had a few bangers after that. 4. (Bonus unwarranted opinion!) Cambodia was a superior song before it was re-written into Show Me What You Got
Some suggestions: Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged Danzig - How the Gods kill Lamb of God - Walk with me in Hell Killswitch Engage - Forever Aligned (their new single from their upcoming album so maybe you start reacting to them).
The man with the eyes is Wes Borland who is the true heart of the band. This was one of the cornerstone songs of the Nu-metal wave along with Korn's Blind and Deftones Your own summer and S.O.A.D. This video gave such a nice wave of nostalgia Thank you so much Aileen. What about trying a another side of Limp Bizkit N together now? All the best to all of the amazing people here.
This video was part of Limp Bizkits guerrila campaign of just showing up somewhere random, setting up quick and putting on a show (this was Long Island City). The location was only revealed hours before and still hundreds of fans showed up to participate and Fred Durst gets arrested for disturbing the peace at the end.
The "stick it up your yeah" lyrics are written that way on purpose for radio play. There is no other version that I'm aware of. And I even have the dirty lyrics album and it's the same as this video
You should react to "Counterfeit" by them, is from their first album "Three Dollar Bill Y'all". That song is a banger and that album is a masterpiece, in my opinion.
This song is from 1999!!! Became N°1 in America, and dethrone BSB from the Top position in the Charts and Limp Bizkit became the biggest Band in the World!!! You should follow this Video with Re-Arranged, that's the continuation!!!
Now this takes me back to TRL I can't believe how much time has gone by and there's about two generations now that was either too young or not born yet to know how popular this song and band was in 1999
Listening you react to this has me going crazy a bit because I distinctly remember a music video version of this song where you can hear the crowd sing at the end.
I got this album the summer after Grade 6, and it definitely shifted my music taste going forward, getting into Korn (who I saw the next summer), Staind, Deftones, SOAD, etc. etc. IMO this song still holds up today, and it is such an interesting and awesome instrumental
Aileen is 30?? No way not baby sis. I love Christmas time with you Aileen , with the horns and a Christmas tree in the background. Makes a great combination Peace and love to you as always. I can believe how big your channel has grown over the years. Seems like you just started it, time flies. Have a blessed Thanksgiving
oh my god, 1:38 you going " hey " was spot on lol i laughed so hard... LOVE IT!!! btw listen to ' Blue Eyes ' that song gets me to cry EVERY time I hear it. 34yrs old, and that song makes me ball my eyes out!!!
This song is such a BANGER & came out when I was 34 when I had a brand new black LS1 Ram Air Trans Am Ttop 6sp with the 800 watt Monsoon stereo & to this day I still let the neighbors hear it every time I jam it because I still do it for the nookie! Your are the same age as my youngest daughter! On a side note...plaid really looks good on you, being a country I love plaids✌💖☮
Man I remember hearing this song for the first time at a summer basketball camp going into 8th grade in 99 when we were staying in the dorms and one of the guys brought the CD to bump. We were all like “shiiiiiit what is this?!”
This came out back 1999, you were close, limp Bizkit is one of my favorite bands growing up as a 26 year old kid, their second album is my favorite, and they basically made rapcore and it's good 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That version was the track overlay, since the original had talking at the end of that video. You should listen to their song on the follow up album "Boiler". It was kind of along these same lines.
I have considered myself a metal head since 89 or so when I was 14. Everyone I knew when this came out were constantly deriding this song and putting it down. But I have always enjoyed the hell out of a bunch of Limp Bizcut songs, including this one, and all those other people can just disappear into my memories.
This is wild, I've not heard this in a decade and a half and i still knew the lyrics. Also the black eye guy is Wes Borland and he's had some recent TH-cam videos talking about his guitars and equipment. He's aged perfectly into a middle aged Dad
no one remembers that "she took my tender, heart and put it in a blender" was a call out to another song that was huge at the time, Inside Out by Eve 6, fucking dope ass song and underrated band
1. Weird Al missed a great opportunity to do a cover of this called "Tanooki" where he'd be dressed like Super Mario in the Tanooki costume from Mario 3 (I mean he had the moustache for it). Going for a stage dive then flying up to the sky for money. 2. This is one of their free shows they used to do. They would just show up somewhere and just do a show right outside. This one I think was New York. They did one in Boston too. My friends found out about it and went. 23 years later I'm still pissed they didn't call me to tell me!
Seeing the tree in the back of your videos going forward is gonna be so cozy 😌 Being the cutest in your thumbnail and starting off the week with this song?? What more can we ask for🙂↕️🖤
My first reaction on these reaction videos is always "Really!? You don't know this song!!?" and then I take a breath and recalibrate to "Oh hell yeah, you're in for a treat!"
Music is an experience so by being open to so many genres, a broadened perspective is a given along with having a lot more room for optimism. Finding a new song is the best medicine!
Nice reaction! Just saw these guys this past August freaking amazing, started listening to numetal around 99. The 90's and early 2000's were good times! next up is to see Korn. HAppy early Thanksgiving too!
Hi Aileen 😊 Absolutely stupendous reaction to Limp Bizkit 's Nookie. Way back when in school we teased the boys who showed up the next day with the nookie on their neck because we knew that they went all the way. The whole free love movement in the 1960s just became more and more and more over sexualized where guys are only after one thing and so this seems to be the message that Limp Bizkit is passing out on this song. Although entertaining, with the three videos that you have shown reacted to and analyzed, they are speaking social commentary for their time. Yes, the song is easy and it is sung very clearly so you can catch the lyrics without reading them. I'm just so glad that you know the importance of lyrics to tell the story and the video with Limp Bizkit is very much telling the story so there's no confusion in the message that they are portraying. You are very right with the understanding of the word that he left blank. I believe this is very inventive to leave things to the imagination. I grew up with the phrase..."you can stick it where the sun doth not shine". Let's spin this story 180° and wonder why the girl " cheated" on him. Maybe, she was looking for more than just nookie. Okay... we can get very deep with this but I'll leave it at that. Your Christmas tree looks beautiful and the lights are equally beautiful. The whole ambience of the lights reflecting off the glass is very ethereal and atmospheric for the season. The Christmas season is upon us for cheer, for joy, for good feelings and most of all for love. Again, super reaction and analysis and we'll see you next time. Have a great day you and Arya with much love 😊👍💪❤️👑👑
Another different genre from that time is Trip-Hop. Check it out, Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead….. A couple songs to start with Karma (K)Coma, She Makes Me Want to Die, Roads, Christensands, Angel or anything by these artists/groups you really can’t go wrong.
Basically an early 2000 nu metal remake of the Offsprings song Self Esteem. Not saying Self Esteem was the originator of this subject matter in song, but I do think they did it the best. As for Limp Bizkit I was never a huge fan but My Generation was always a good song, underrated these days it feels and although not one of my favs you should check out their cover of Faith as it is the song they sort of exploded onto the MTV scene with.
This is the first bizkit song I ever heard as a kid. After hearing their whole catalogue and b-sides and everything theyd continue to put out, they became my favorite band fast as a kid. This is my favorite breakdown of any song ever, the “nothings gonna change” part. I’d recommend Boiler the most, but also take a look around, walking away, the truth, and dad vibes. You’re hitting all the songs most people know them for though. I always thought in nookie he said “stick it up your a***” and said yeah just so they could play it on the radio. You made it a little more hardcore hahaha
I am 53 and a true Hip Hop student/fan. Fred and Limp did a good job. They are not hip hop but are an enjoyable band IMHO. I saw them live and their DJ was insane!!! I don't hate them.
There was a time when Limp Bizkit was the ultimate. I saw them all through the early 90s, opening for just about every band on the planet, including Clutch and GWAR. Seemed they were playing everywhere. Then they blew up.
I am from Russia. and i've been on Limp Bizkit concert in Moscow 5 times. Fist time I was 14 years old. I don't have any daubs that Fred and team will come back.
The red NY Yankee hat worn by Fred Durst in the video became the hottest item on the Market. Stores could not keep that hat in stock. Worldwide it was almost impossible to find that hat for 6-12 months after this video came out.
Anytime I see a backwards red hat, I instantly think of Fred Durst 😂
So true. But I was doing it before Fred. The dickies a size two big, xtra big T shirts, Addidas Superstars, and a STL Cards hat. Hell, even now I still rock some Dickies and the Superstars in my 40's.
I bought one as a kid lol
20 years on, I still do it all for the nookie. It never seems to change
And so many people in your life have so many cookies up their...
Nookie….nookie never changes 😂
@@pistonburner6448 mind you, at my age, a cookie does sound good too
Because 20 years later you are still dumb. It was catchy and fun back then, it is not in this era. Really just grow up.
What else are we here for
The guitarist is Wes Borland. He always dressed up on tour.
Guitarist Wes Borland got those contacts from the same company that made the contacts for Sci-fi tv series Babylon 5. He's a massive fan of science fiction. He, also being, a perpetual artist of all sorts of media, created several characters that he would become and rotate for each show. So when you turn up for their gig it's fun to see how he'll come out looking.
I was 17 when this dropped and my parents HATED this!!!! My Generation is another banger and would love to see your reaction to that

great bar i got to see the circle jerks play there. 90 to 92 time frame
Took my 13 year old Daughter to her first concert in Toronto in 2003. Summer Sanitorium with Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Linkin Park, Mudvayne and the Deftones. Awesome show!
Whaaaaa?? I saw tbis lineup in San Francisco! Great show! Linkin Park stole the night though, so good live!
I was 22 at the time and saw it in Atlanta. Still one of my favorite memories is getting my nose busted in the pit during the Metallica set and having to crowd surf to the barricades at the front of the stage (because security told me I had to get out and clean my face...understandable). When I got over the barricades, I looked up at James Hetfield with my face covered in blood, and we locked eyes as he gave me the metal horns...fuck yea.
Went to same concert in Seattle while I was stationed up there in Whidbey Island, WA
Wanted to go to that show but couldn’t make it, hoping to see Mudvayne some time soon
I remember Fred walking around in the aisles during the show at the LA Coliseum. People were booing and spitting on him, so people had had it with his schtick by then. That led up to the point where everyone really did leave him alone.

Yeah a lot of people didn't like him, but everyone still listened to the music.
Just went and saw them live and they did not disappoint, was a great show!
I saw them in concert during their peak years several times. All that hate was literal bs. Every single person that talked bad about Durst was screaming and jumping around like madmen at their concerts.
Their concerts were badfnass.
Hearing this makes me feel so old! This was the late 90s early 2k
I'll be turning 40 in a couple days (bit too old to be doing for the nookie anymore), and I started playing music around the time Limp Bizkit started blowing up.

Also, Wes Borland, the guitarist has a way of coming out in his own style.
Wes actually makes all of his own costumes. By makes I mean designs, sews and chooses fabric. The guy is a monster.
Fred Durst's lyrics were definitely not masterful, intelligent or even anything but cringe. The (simple) music rocks though, and it doesn't even matter what semi-r-word lyrics he's spitting because it's all about the energy, not the content of the lyrics.

You should do Rearranged I think is the next song after this. It literally continues where the cops take him.
This! The bass line for this song is so good too!
Agreed. One of my fav songs
actually is a trilogy: nookie, rearranged and n2gheter now
Some suggestions:
Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged
Danzig - How the Gods kill
Lamb of God - Walk with me in Hell
Killswitch Engage - Forever Aligned (their new single from their upcoming album so maybe you start reacting to them).
The man with the eyes is Wes Borland who is the true heart of the band. This was one of the cornerstone songs of the Nu-metal wave along with Korn's Blind and Deftones Your own summer and S.O.A.D. This video gave such a nice wave of nostalgia Thank you so much Aileen. What about trying a another side of Limp Bizkit N together now? All the best to all of the amazing people here.
Thems was the days, early 90s, fitted baseball caps, Starter jackets, and alley concerts. Doin' sh*t for the nookie has gotten us all in trouble 😂
Fantastic. If you're enjoying these Limp Bizkit reacts. I recommend their video "Boiler"
A fun morning with some Limp Bizkit! Wes Borland is the guitar player with the extra style lol
This video was part of Limp Bizkits guerrila campaign of just showing up somewhere random, setting up quick and putting on a show (this was Long Island City). The location was only revealed hours before and still hundreds of fans showed up to participate and Fred Durst gets arrested for disturbing the peace at the end.
Wes Borland is one of the most underrated guitarists of that era!
Wow Aileen, your young. I was in my 20s when this came out. I love that you listen to a little of everything.
He really did get arrested for filming without a license
The "stick it up your yeah" lyrics are written that way on purpose for radio play. There is no other version that I'm aware of. And I even have the dirty lyrics album and it's the same as this video
You should react to "Counterfeit" by them, is from their first album "Three Dollar Bill Y'all". That song is a banger and that album is a masterpiece, in my opinion.
Up, this one is an absolute banger. Limp Bizkit in general is good but some songs are just better. 3 dollar bill yall is quite heavy overall.
Entire album is good stuff man!
Counterfeit is by far one of their most underrated songs!
Counterfeit and Sour are killers
@@egregiousblunder5395 Yes it is and I don't get it, that's a really great song.
It was cool to see three of their songs connect to each other. It goes Nookie then Re-Arranged then N 2 Gether Now.
This song is from 1999!!!
Became N°1 in America, and dethrone BSB from the Top position in the Charts and Limp Bizkit became the biggest Band in the World!!!
You should follow this Video with Re-Arranged, that's the continuation!!!
You do the best music reviews on TH-cam. Keep up the awesome work.
The guitar riff in this slaps hard... 🔥🔥🔥
You should check the two Songs Re-Arranged and Boiler from Limp Bizkit.
Boiler is one of my favs
I'm from Chicago and I just met Fred when they were here a couple of months ago these guys are still doin it to this day great vid Aileen💯💯❤️😁
Now this takes me back to TRL I can't believe how much time has gone by and there's about two generations now that was either too young or not born yet to know how popular this song and band was in 1999
Have you done eat you alive by limp bizkit yet?
Good reaction. Btw, this song and the music video were actually released in 1999 (not 2001).
Listening you react to this has me going crazy a bit because I distinctly remember a music video version of this song where you can hear the crowd sing at the end.
Hey Aileen, We're still in November.
There's no need to rush
Yes, the lyric is "Yeah" in the original uncensored and all versions. But yes, I believe you have identified correctly what that "Yeah" represents.
I got this album the summer after Grade 6, and it definitely shifted my music taste going forward, getting into Korn (who I saw the next summer), Staind, Deftones, SOAD, etc. etc.
IMO this song still holds up today, and it is such an interesting and awesome instrumental
Aileen is 30?? No way not baby sis. I love Christmas time with you Aileen , with the horns and a Christmas tree in the background. Makes a great combination Peace and love to you as always. I can believe how big your channel has grown over the years. Seems like you just started it, time flies. Have a blessed Thanksgiving
oh my god, 1:38 you going " hey " was spot on lol i laughed so hard... LOVE IT!!! btw listen to ' Blue Eyes ' that song gets me to cry EVERY time I hear it. 34yrs old, and that song makes me ball my eyes out!!!
This song is such a BANGER & came out when I was 34 when I had a brand new black LS1 Ram Air Trans Am Ttop 6sp with the 800 watt Monsoon stereo & to this day I still let the neighbors hear it every time I jam it because I still do it for the nookie! Your are the same age as my youngest daughter! On a side note...plaid really looks good on you, being a country I love plaids✌💖☮
Boiler, Behind blue eyes or Eat you alive...next three...show you how different musically The Limp can be
I actually saw limp bizkit live in 1999 in Orlando. Pretty good show
Still waiting for the “Rearranged” reaction.
This is one of those songs where I didn't think I had heard it, but as soon as it kicked in, I definitely have before. Enjoyed your reaction!
2001? This record came out in 1999.
Looking way better! Glad you’re doing well!!
During this album run they created a small story with there music videos. Nookie leads to rearranged leads to n2gether now.
Man I remember hearing this song for the first time at a summer basketball camp going into 8th grade in 99 when we were staying in the dorms and one of the guys brought the CD to bump. We were all like “shiiiiiit what is this?!”
This band was on top of the world back then. I remember this song ruling for months. Still love the music.
I remember when this first came out and I bought the CD. Nostalgia!
This came out back 1999, you were close, limp Bizkit is one of my favorite bands growing up as a 26 year old kid, their second album is my favorite, and they basically made rapcore and it's good 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That version was the track overlay, since the original had talking at the end of that video. You should listen to their song on the follow up album "Boiler". It was kind of along these same lines.

But I have always enjoyed the hell out of a bunch of Limp Bizcut songs, including this one, and all those other people can just disappear into my memories.
"Freaked out a little bit" is the proper response to Wes Borland. He's always been the odd man out within the band, visually speaking.
LB was one of the best of the time to see live!! no other band could compete with there live perfomance!!
Such a great song. Thanks for reacting to it!
You're amazing. I love your reactions. Especially to songs I love.
You should react to Faith by Limp Bizkit, cover of the George Michael song.
Her face, every time they showed Wes. haha
It's incredible that this is one of those tracks that were the soundtrack of my teenage years and now I'm in my 40s and still remember entire lyrics
NOOKIE 🤘🤘🤘 I actually requested this on stream the other day 🤣
This is wild, I've not heard this in a decade and a half and i still knew the lyrics.
Also the black eye guy is Wes Borland and he's had some recent TH-cam videos talking about his guitars and equipment. He's aged perfectly into a middle aged Dad
no one remembers that "she took my tender, heart and put it in a blender" was a call out to another song that was huge at the time, Inside Out by Eve 6, fucking dope ass song and underrated band
Boiler? Dark song. Hits differently when you are older. Banger.
Love the reaction! It's not fair how perfect you are!!
1. Weird Al missed a great opportunity to do a cover of this called "Tanooki" where he'd be dressed like Super Mario in the Tanooki costume from Mario 3 (I mean he had the moustache for it). Going for a stage dive then flying up to the sky for money.
2. This is one of their free shows they used to do. They would just show up somewhere and just do a show right outside. This one I think was New York. They did one in Boston too. My friends found out about it and went. 23 years later I'm still pissed they didn't call me to tell me!
my fav Album of theirs is Results May Very, still listen to them to this day
Seeing the tree in the back of your videos going forward is gonna be so cozy 😌 Being the cutest in your thumbnail and starting off the week with this song?? What more can we ask for🙂↕️🖤
Great reaction Aileen 🔥🤘😎
My first reaction on these reaction videos is always "Really!? You don't know this song!!?" and then I take a breath and recalibrate to "Oh hell yeah, you're in for a treat!"
Wes Borland is the guitarist. He is actually pretty amazing and pioneered a lot of interesting guitar techniques.
One of the beat concerts I’ve ever been to…such amazing energy
Music is an experience so by being open to so many genres, a broadened perspective is a given along with having a lot more room for optimism. Finding a new song is the best medicine!
Nice reaction! Just saw these guys this past August freaking amazing, started listening to numetal around 99. The 90's and early 2000's were good times! next up is to see Korn. HAppy early Thanksgiving too!
"She put my tender heart in a blender" is a reference to the Eve 6 song "Inside Out".
Hi Aileen 😊 Absolutely stupendous reaction to Limp Bizkit 's Nookie.

The whole free love movement in the 1960s just became more and more and more over sexualized where guys are only after one thing and so this seems to be the message that Limp Bizkit is passing out on this song. Although entertaining, with the three videos that you have shown reacted to and analyzed, they are speaking social commentary for their time. Yes, the song is easy and it is sung very clearly so you can catch the lyrics without reading them. I'm just so glad that you know the importance of lyrics to tell the story and the video with Limp Bizkit is very much telling the story so there's no confusion in the message that they are portraying. You are very right with the understanding of the word that he left blank. I believe this is very inventive to leave things to the imagination. I grew up with the phrase..."you can stick it where the sun doth not shine". Let's spin this story 180° and wonder why the girl " cheated" on him. Maybe, she was looking for more than just nookie. Okay... we can get very deep with this but I'll leave it at that. Your Christmas tree looks beautiful and the lights are equally beautiful. The whole ambience of the lights reflecting off the glass is very ethereal and atmospheric for the season. The Christmas season is upon us for cheer, for joy, for good feelings and most of all for love. Again, super reaction and analysis and we'll see you next time. Have a great day you and Arya with much love 😊👍💪❤️👑👑
Another different genre from that time is Trip-Hop. Check it out, Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead….. A couple songs to start with Karma (K)Coma, She Makes Me Want to Die, Roads, Christensands, Angel or anything by these artists/groups you really can’t go wrong.
This was one of our pre game pump up songs in hockey
1999! My freshman year of high school. Ahh the good old days :)
The guitarist is Wes Borland
I remember hearing this the first time on a flight on my way to Yuma Proofing Grounds. Man the crazy crap that came out in that period.
They did a solid cover of Metallica’s Sanitarium
definitely one of the best covers IMO
Love Your Reactions Aileen nothing beats seeing someone experience something new for the first time
Basically an early 2000 nu metal remake of the Offsprings song Self Esteem. Not saying Self Esteem was the originator of this subject matter in song, but I do think they did it the best. As for Limp Bizkit I was never a huge fan but My Generation was always a good song, underrated these days it feels and although not one of my favs you should check out their cover of Faith as it is the song they sort of exploded onto the MTV scene with.
😆 Great reaction Aileen loved your smile and headbanging throughout the video. Hope you are having a great day can't wait for your next reaction 🫶
I'd love to see you react to Rearranged by Limp Bizkit.
This is the first bizkit song I ever heard as a kid. After hearing their whole catalogue and b-sides and everything theyd continue to put out, they became my favorite band fast as a kid. This is my favorite breakdown of any song ever, the “nothings gonna change” part. I’d recommend Boiler the most, but also take a look around, walking away, the truth, and dad vibes. You’re hitting all the songs most people know them for though. I always thought in nookie he said “stick it up your a***” and said yeah just so they could play it on the radio. You made it a little more hardcore hahaha
I am 53 and a true Hip Hop student/fan. Fred and Limp did a good job. They are not hip hop but are an enjoyable band IMHO. I saw them live and their DJ was insane!!! I don't hate them.
Nice choice for a song..... "Crazy Game Of Poker" was released 1997 great song to check out
filmed in Sunset Park, Brooklyn
Re-Arranged is a great one if you want deep lyrics and to see a different side of them.
Boiler is just a crazy fun video and song.
You should do Limp Bizkit Break Stuff live at Woodstock 99.
I went to the video shoot in Queens, NY
Awesome u got to listen this one too
Over two decades later, I still don't know what kind of cookie he's referring to.
The look on Aileen's face when she sees Wes Borland's eyes is priceless. lol
You should consider take a look at "Rearranged".
😊perfect analysis 👏👏 😊 one of my favorite bands.. love rap/rock 😊
There was a time when Limp Bizkit was the ultimate. I saw them all through the early 90s, opening for just about every band on the planet, including Clutch and GWAR. Seemed they were playing everywhere. Then they blew up.
Such a deep, thought provoking lyric 😮
I am from Russia. and i've been on Limp Bizkit concert in Moscow 5 times. Fist time I was 14 years old. I don't have any daubs that Fred and team will come back.
